TOMORROW NIGHTS
FEATURE AT THE NIXON

Briefly told, the story of "The Blind
ness of DEVOTION in which Robert B.
Mantell, the celebrated dramatic star,
makes his scdeen debut under the man.
agement of William Fox, is as follows:
Count de Carnay, man near sixty,
falls in love with and marries beau
tiful adventures, Renee Delaevoix by
name. Renee does not love her aged
husband, whom she has married solely
for his wealth and position. The Count
is guardian to Pierre Cavereaux, a
handsome young soldier on foreign ser
vice. Pierre leaves his regiment for a
visit to his guardian. He and Renee
meet under romantic circumstances,
with the inevitable result. Youth calls
to youth, and under the very eyes of
the doting husband, a disgraceful in
trigue is carried on. The plot is further
complicated when Pierre, grown weary
of the fascinations of Renee, meets and
loves Bella, the Counts niece. Guilty
of gross treachery to his best friend,
Pierre cannot tell of his new love, and
against his will, his affair with Renee
still continues. One day the Count dis
covers Renee and Pierre under most
compromising circumstances. To dis
arm suspicion, Bella, who has also been
witness to the scene, tells the Count
that Pierre desires to marry her. The
Counts fears are allayed, but he re-
solves to keep watch upon his wife, and
meanwhile, he hastens the marriage of
Pierre and Bella. Renee, enraged at this
turn of events, seeks to poison her hus-
band. The County skillfully turns the
tables and she is her own victim. A
] thrillingly dramatic climax brings this
remarkable screen drama to spectac-
ular end.
FThe Blindness of Devotion" will oe
the feature picture at the Nixon opera
house tomorrow evening.

ONE MAY BEAT A DUNKE I
at Is the VIII of ccd," Says an East
ern Legend c-crted ~
TraVelGf.

II his article on his journey to Baby
Ion, in Harper's, William Warfeld told
a legend prevailing among the natives
by which they justify beating OF don
keys but not horses.
"We stopped to change our mules.
In the roadway before the khan SAT a
group OF Arabs. A servant supplied
them with little cups of tea from a
rude samovar. We saluted them, and,
taking our places in the circle, we
were served in turn. Someone in the
dark doorway was humping away on
a drum. A boy came out of the khan
beating a poor lame donkey covered
with fy-infested sores. / turned to
one of my neighbors:
'1s it not cruel for that boy to beat
a lame ass in that way?
"'Effendim, it is the viii Of God!!
"'But you do not allow horses or
camels to be beaten thus
"Effendim the donkey is not like
the horse, nor yet is he like the camel.
The reason is this: Upon certain day
the donkeys went before Allah and
complained that they were grievously
beaten by men, so that life was a
greater burden than they could bear.
Then said Allah: Il cannot make men
cease from beating you. 1t is no sin,
neither does it cause them any great
loss. Put / will help you. ! will give
you so thick hide that however much
you are beaten you shall not suffer
$50 said my informant, it is of no
consequence if men beat an ass So
thick a skin did Allah give him that
after he dies men use it in the making
of drums. and the donkey continues to
be beaten after DEATH"

A SENSIBLE PRINTER;
EXPRESSES OUR SENTIMENTS

j. E. Jones, editor of Weekly Events,
published at Kilbourn, Wis, delivered
himself of an interesting editorial com
mentary on the present condition of af-
fairs in recent issue. of his paper, IN
which he said:
Gone day last week man came TO
renew his subscription to Events. When
he found the price to be $3.50 he said,
/ never paid more than one dollar, and
if you don t take that you can stop it.
1t was stopped.
"About the same time a business
man called to order stationery. He was
told that increased prices of paper
would make a difference of about ten
per cent Don't want it, he said iron
ically, that is pure holdup.' He had
to have the paper and paid over a dol
lar extra to get it from a printer mail
order house The first of the week he
ordered a special color of ink that last
fall was priced at 50 a pound. 1t costs
us now $3.50 a pound. We bought lot
of special enameled paper this week
that a month ago cost $3.50 per hun
dred pounds. Now we pay so per hun
dred pounds. Letter paper, envelopes
and printers stock has increased from
~ TO 80 per cent.
"Prices on nearly everything used
has increased and no one questions the
higher prices made by the merchant
\ the lawyer, the doctor, the laborine
man and the city papers. But the fact
/ that the printer of a newspaper IN the
country asks % cents a year more, OF
4 ten per cent advance on work in which
the material has increased one-third OF

order to stop my paper.
