When Miss shepard IL given

weep. she does not have to use
any or the tricks Of the trade to which many
players have to resort to start the fountain Of
their sorrows playing. She simply turns on the
spigot and weeps real. big. splashy tears that
plop on the studio floor like April shower
a tin roof.
The ability to depict grief in its visible form
is OF great value TO an actress. and of greater
value to moving picture players than on the
regular stage. The actress on the regular stage
has voice and low sob and little catchy
words that tell you she is going to burst into
tears any minute

erner is going to forecloss the mortgage on her
dear old Southern home, the audience Is not
always sure whether she Is laughing crying,
and to make this perfectly plain there Is always
a closeup after such scene.
Actresses who cannot weep at viii make nice
pearly tears on their cheeks with drops Of
glycerln and some heroic creatures have been
known to induce real tears with the use OF an
onion. Happy and popular is the actress who

Great Britain Sorry

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 12.- Informal expressions of regret have been made by Great Britain to the state department for seizure at Hong kong of American owned goods con signed to Manila on board the steam CTS Chinese Prince Kafu and Almeric. It was learned today that in response to a vigorous protest by the United States assurances have been given that there will be no more such seiz- ures.
 The British action first was explain ed on the ground that the goods were consigned to blacklisted firms Later it was claimed that several of the firms were ringleaders in junta al legged to be seeking to cause a rebel lion in India.
 The seizure of packages from the Chinese Prince caused very bitter feeling in Manila and maximum fine was levied on her when she entered port with her manifest shortage. The fine was later reduced to $25,0 and finally rebated when the missing goods arrived on another ship.

WUOLD JAIL FOR
 TAKING A DRINK
Arizona Plans Most Drastic Law of All-ProhibittOn Increases
 Crime, Says Paper.

Arizona climatically and prohibi- tionally speaking, is said to be the "dryest" state in the union. In ad- dition to their efforts to prevent the shipment of liquor into Arizona, the prohibitionists are trying to put a bill through the legislature making it an imprisonable offense to drink li- quor.
 The result of the "dry" law adopt ed by Arizona in 1914 is told in this story from Tombstone (Ariz.) to tho Douglas (Ardz-) Daily Interna tional:
 The county jail at the present time contains more prisoners than it has for a number of years. There are 5. now on the register at that institu- tion. Of that number IS are serving time sentences of from 30 to GO days. five for violation of the prohibition amendment, two for simple assault, and one for gambling; eight for pet ty larceny; one for carrying deadly weapon, and one alleged insane. Of those held to await the action of the superior court there are three for highway robbery; three for burglary i; two for statutory rape; 16 for viola tion of the prohibition amendment; 1; two for resisting an officer; one for grand larceny; one for an assault with a deadly weapon and one for passing bogus check.
 The other five are held under mur- der charges. With the addition of the ten cases held to await the action from Douglas and Bisbee 1t looks IS though the term would be well COD tinued into the month of July.

BeethOven's behavior was often atrO- cious. In giving lessons to young la dies he would sometimes tear the music to pieces and scatter it about the floor or even smash the furniture. Once when playing in company there was some interruption. "I play no longer for such hogs!' he cried and left the piano.

SACRED TREE OF SPAIN.
knd it's Connection With the Ancient
 Euskarian Language.

 Euskarian Language.
 You all know about the Charter oak, that tree that figured in the fight for independence of the American colonies, and perhaps you have heard of other trees with national significance.
 Did you ever hear of the sacred tree of Spain and the means by which 1t Is perpetuated? It stands close to the town of Guernica, in Biscay. and under It's spreading foliage the general jun. tas are inaugurated. Several centu- ries ago, when Spain was a loosely tied bundle of more or less independent states, the lords of Biscay took their oath under one of the parents of this same tree, where a stone bench was provided for their use, as symbolic of the enduring solidity of their reign. In some respects the tree shows a deep. CT symbolism than is to be found in the bench of hewn stone. for both the family dignity and the Euskarian lan- guage are handed from father to son.
 In that isolated region a form of SpetCu tuut ID uttStiy uhC'ChI AAo" both French and Spanish has been maintained since the beginnings of Flu. ropean civilization because each father made it his business to instill into his eldest son the idea that it was his duty to perpetuate his language and Ire peculiar institutions of his race.
 The trea of the Basques is one of the hardest of all the hardy things to be found around the bay of Biscay and the Pyrenees mountains. The one that Is now standing was taken from the parent tree in 1780 and had been grow ing for thirty years when its 3O0-year- old progenitor succumbed to age and hard windstorm. Another shoot was started from this one forty years ago. -St Louis Globe Democrat.

CHINESE LETTER CARRIERS.
Fests They Must Perform Would Tire
 q Hercules.

 Hercules. How many of our own postmen would care to transfer their services to the Chinese postOffice? To get into the postal service in Chl na Is not an easy matter.
 In the first place an applicant must have strength and courage, and in or der to gain these he must be prepared to undergo very queer method of training. He must wander through mountains and valleys, forests and coves. The exact time to be occupied in a trip of this sort is fixed by the law. and very heavy fine is imposed for any unnecessary delay.
 The would be postman must repeat these trips at night, and if he listens to the bad spirit, thereby failing to ap- pear at the required time at specified place he is sure to lose his chance of being postman.
 But that is not all, for he is obliged to carry enormous weights for many miles and must return with his burden within given time, though his road usually takes him through districts thick with bandits.
 In training. the postman eats very lit- tle-though he is used to this-and tries every training exercise. Then comes his real examination, under the direc- tion of the government officials. He Is taken into a large room, where, sus- pended from high beam, are very heavy sacks filled with rocks. He must give a swinging motion to all these sacks, run to and fro between them. carefully guarding himself against a blow from the heavy weights.-London G10ho
