Bessie 5arriscaIe in Triangle Feature Three Big Keith Acts and Key- stone Comedies.


 An exceptionally fine programme of vaudeville and Triangle photoplays is billed for this theatre the first half of this week Heading the show is the Hopkins Axten company who pre- sent a tinkIing travesty entitled Keith acts now playing the circuit. Another good act is LaPrade. the sing ing violinist. He plays and sings and has a repertore of both popular and classic numbers. The third act is Fiddler and Sheldon, singing and talking entertainers from the land of cotton The Triangle feature of this show is the five act Inc production Not My Sister. This drama shows the plight of woman who must ether confess to her husband dark chap ter in her life or else confront a stilI worse situation in the present. Bessie Barrfscale, who starred with William Desmond In this feature is under a long term contract with the Triangle Ince studios. She came prominently before the public as Lovely Mary in Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, and has been seen at this treatre in several big pictures.
 A striking novelty, introduced for first time. Not My Sister. is a device technically known as a transparent iris. On the screen, when this eff feet is used. the principal character is portrayed as under a spotlight, while the minor characters in the scene are distinguished but faintly. This, Direc- tor Thomas H. Ince claims, centers the attention of the spectators upon the indivirual work of the principal and aids in "getting over the desired ef- feet better than a "close-up.''
 The Keystone comedy to complete the show is The Moonshiners a two reeler featuring Al St John. Matinee every day at 2.15. Evening at GAS and S.45. Don't miss this show.

 Elected from the Hotel BouIonge after a gay party, Anna Held calm ly establishes herself for the night in the home of Augustine Galipaux, the judge issuing the order. As Mime. Galipaux has just left for Paris this makes extremely amusing complica-' tions

THE GENTLE eARDENER.

I'd like to have but daffodils to mark
 my little way, To leave but tulips red and white be-
 hind me as I stray, I'd like to pass away from earth and
 feel I'd left behind But roses and forEet-me-nots for all
 who come to find. I'd like to sow the barren spots with
 all the flowers Of earth To leave a path where those who come
 should find but gentle mirths And when at last I'm called upon to
 join the Heavenly throng I'd like to feel along my way I'd left
 no sign of wrong. And yet the cares are many and the
 hours of toil are few, There is not time enough on earth for
 all I'd like to do; But having lived and having totled I'd
 like the world to find Some Mttie touch Of beauty that my
 soul had left behind -Edgar A. Guest, In the Detroit Free

WORK IN STRAWBERRY PATCH
At Expiration of Fruiting Season Rake Down Straw Mulch Between
 Rows to Conserve Moisture.

As soon as the strawberry plants are through bearing, rake the straw mulch from the vines, leaving it be- tween the cows to keep down weed growth, conserve the moisture, and for future fertilizing. The new run ners are laid along the row so they win take root. Rows should be left from 12 to IS inches wide, the runners be- ing clipped off as they reach a greater length, or laid along the "ows.
 Where the patch has become matted over with the vines. they should be moved after fruiting. When they are dry set fire to them while there is 8 brisk wind so it will carry the fire over the vines too quickly for them to be damaged by it.
 The old row should then be plowed or disked out, the new vines in the center of the row being left to form next seasons bearing plants. The bed then may be narrowed and cross har- rowed. to level and pulverize the soil. A narrow float, drag CT roller, passed between the rows will greatly aid in conserving moisture.

Inventors Heart in His Work.

Ramsden, the father of the modern screw, was an unusual inventive geni- us, and the demand from all parts of Europe for his incomparable inven- tions was greater than could be SUD- piled by the constant labor of GO work men. His life was one of extreme frugality. He ate and slept little and studied much.
 Most of Ramsden's evenings were spent drawing plans by the kitchen fire. a cat on one side, mug of DOT ter and plate of bread and butter on the other, while some apprentices sat around and he whistled or sang.
 After explaining design to work man he would say: Now, see, man, let us try to find fault with it, and intelligent suggestions generally led to amendments. But if a completed instrument fell short of his ideal it was invariably rejected or destroyed, with the exclamation: "Bobs, man, this won't do; we must have it again!"

DRAW MOISTURE FROM WATCl
54...erlece Is Not Necessarily Ruined If Unfortunately 1t Has Been
 Water-Soaked

Wkat to do with water-soaked watch is often problem when one is caught in the wilderness, or in a com munity where no ieweler is to bs found Lack of knowing what steps to take often results in much expense, if not in the utter ruin of the watch.
 Watches made with both screw face and screw back may be dried easily by removing the front and back. emptying the watch of as much water as will run out, reversing the crystal, screwing it on the back of the watch, and then laying it where the sun will have chance to reflect through the crystal.
 The heat of the sun on the crystal will draw the moisture from the works in fifteen or twenty minutes, says the Technical World. If water still re- mains in the works, the crystal may be unscrewed, wiped and replaced, and the process repeated.
 After the sun fails to draw any more of the water out of the glass it is safe to conclude that there is no more in the works, and the oil origi- nally on them, warmed by the sun, lubricates the parts.
 There should be no more trouble with the watch, although it is advis- able to have it examined by a jeweler at the earliest opportunity.
