Sometimes savlnu poesn,t Paw.

There is a credit man here who has
lately come to the conclusion that a
saving disposition does not always pay.
This is the story: For long time this
man has opened all the mail that
comes to his department. After remOv-
ing the contents of the envelopes he
used carefully to slit them and open
them out for scratch paper, in the be-
lief that he was saving money for the
house thereby. Recently, however, after
being joshed by friend who saw him
doing it, the credit man decided to see
whether he was actually saving money
or not. He found that, on the average
he spent seven minutes a day Sitting
and smoothing out envelopes. On the
basis Of a 300-day working year, this
meant that he was spending 80 hours
year on that job. Computing the
cost of this labor on the basis of his
salary, he found that he was losing
time and the firm money. Now the of
fce boy Sits them and smooths them
out.

The sreav Iuaills TIE uEAaI.

The new thestric art invented by David
w. Griffith in producing "The Birth Of a
Nation" coming to the Baker-Grand,
Natchez, May 4, S, 6, has enabled him to
surpass by far any stage spectacle. "Ben
Hur" and ''Ths. Blue Bird were SUD-
posed to be the high-water mark of such
productions. They sink into insignif-
canoe beside this epic of American his
tory with its 5000 scenes, $1,000 charac-
tiers, 5000 riders and 200, 900 details, the
result Of eight months of tireless labor
and the expenditure of half million dol
lars.
The war plays Of the stage such as
Shenandoah, "Held by the Enemy"
and "Bsrbars \Frietchie'' seem tame
after seeing the birth Of Nation" In
the Griffith spectacle the scenes Of sheer
beauty and strength are Of Homric gran.
duer. The night riding Of the Klu Klux
Khan looks like company Of avenging
spectres sweeping along the moonlight
roads. There is o pictorial punch in every
scene.
This realistic picture Of history in the
making IL Of untold value to both old and
young. Beside the historical worth Of
this great spectacle the constant emotional
throb Of the romantic story thrills the
hearts Of all. It h the supreme achieve
ment of modern histrionism in its new
guise untrameled BY the limitations Of
