THE DIVIDEND" AND THE CLOWN' AT FOX'S

The features at Fox's today and to- morrow will be the Triangle play ''The Dividend" featuring w. H. Thompson and Charles Ray, and the Paramount play, "The Clown," fea- turing Victor Moore. '"The Dividend," is thes tory of the boy about to en- ter manhood, a good boy, with no in clination to do wrong. He comes home prepared to make his fathers interests his own. His father who is president of a gigantic corporation, does not give the boy any encourage ment and for want of something to do the boy tries a whirl at dissipa- tion, of which he soon tires. He again tries to get his fathers attention so that he may be of some help and after being repulsed again plunges deep into the life of the underworld and acquires the opium habit, an evil from which there is no hand to guide him. This is a lesson for every fa- ther to harken to.
 The Paramount feature, "The Clown," tells the story of the "Circus Tent" of the trials and tribulations of go to extreme sacrifices in order that every one may be happy. The Key stone players will offer Fay Tincher in "Bedelia's Bluff,'' and the Paramount will present the Burton-H H olnes Trav- elogue on the same program. As usual the performance at this house on Saturday will be continuous from 2 to Il D. m.

Take that sentence out. I know you didn't mean it to, but it sounds like a whine, and it never pays to whine in business. The rest is all right"
 That is what a business man said of an important business letter I had been writing.
 I drew the blackest line my pen could make through the offending sentence.
 And I felt ashamed of myself. True, I hadn't meant to whine, but if I had done it unconsciously I had reason enough for shame.
 People Don't Realize They Are
 Whining.
 Most whining is unconscious. The whining child doesn't realize he is whining.
 My mentor said, "It never pays to whine in business"
 I agree with him and more than agree.
 It never pays to whine anywhere. Whining is one of the worst habits anyone can possibly have.
 Tn children 1t is the unforgivabl fault.
 I can't see why mothers do not combat the habit the instant it ap- pears, both for their children's sake and in self-defenSe.
 Is There Anything More Wearing
 Than Whining Child? For to be in constant contact with a child in whom the whining habit has

CHINESE STUDENTS COMING.
Will Further Pursue Edu-
 cation in United States.

Picking, Aug. 11.-Thirty- young men were graduated this year from the Tsing Hua college, an institution maintained with the Boxer indemnity money refunded to China by the United States, and they will leave for America in a few weeks to enter var ious colleges and universities in that country.
 Paul S. Reinsch, the American Minister, Tsao Ju-lin, the acting min ister for foreign affairs. and c. c. Wang, of the Board of Communica- tions, who was educated in America, addressed the young graduates.
 MT. Reinsch drew a distinction be- tween the old style of learning and the new style. He said the day is passed when a real scholar seeks dis tinction and wealth for himself. The man who has true learning now rea- lizes his responsibility to serve others, and turn his knowledge to practical use for the betterment of his own country and all mankind MT. Reinsch said this is an age when action and real service to the general pubic are expected from educated men. He con- graduated the graduates on finishing their preparatory course, and ex- tended them 8 hearty welcome 10 the educational institutions of America
 c. c. Wang told the young grad uates that China's great need today is men who can say "No.' He urged that young graduates go to America with the firm determination to be- come men of decision and positive character, who will be able to assist in directing China's course along a fixed path, and will not be swayed by selfish ambition.

Don't Whine.

1 become fixed is enough to wear the strongest nerves to a frazzle In it's inception the whining habit can easily be overcome. I know be- cause have seen 1t done by a moth CT whose four children each passed through the stage when a wish is-+ father to whine. She had two methods. One was to repeat the child's words in the same unloVely tones. I have seen a baby of three respond to that treatment If that failed she simply refused to grant any wish expressed in a whine.
 The definition of a whine is, "the nasal childish tone of mean com-7 plaint."
 Older people do not whine in their tones so often as in the spirit of their remarks.

But Poly didn't care.

The one with fleece of snow,
For eyeryMh here that Polly went
The goat was bound to go.
One day Miss Polly sailed forth,
A-walking through the town;
She wanted all the folks to see
Her po ka-dotted gown.
And as she tripped her dainty way
Along the village street,
The fragrant pcsies that she bore
Were not bit more sweet.
And 10, there followed close be-
OF course it wasn't right
The little goat with silky hair
And wondrous appetite.
They passed, a garden by the way
Wide open was the gate;
The goat would have gone within,
~ But Polly couldn't wait
IA little farther down the street
dump of rubbish lay;
The goat would fain have Toasted
there
But Polly couldn't stay.
And then the little breezss blew
Her ribbons. flying free;
The goat beheld them, and it
thought,
This is the chance fer me-
raightway it seized them and be-
gan
To chew and chew and chew;
But Polly blithely tripped along,
And never, never knew.
And when she saw them smile at
her.

She thought. How much they all
admire

MARGARET AND HER DOLL,

The titny black-haired doll was
lonesome. She was so tired of sit
ting there day af er day. She had
not seen the little girl who owned
her for a long time.
The little doll loved her mistress,
the little smiling, sunny haired
Margaret, and wondered why she
did not come.
In another room in the big house
the parents watched anxiously at
the bedside of the little girl.
She was very, very ill, and her
eyes were bright and her cheeks
were flushed with fever. She tos-
sed about and murmured something
about a doll, but they could net
understand what she was saying.
They all bent to catch her words.
DO you know what she wants?"
asked the doctor. IF she could have
what she is asking for perhaps she
would soon fall asleep. If she would
sleep the crisis might be safely
passed. All depends now on restful

mother answered, and she left the
room.
Straight to the nursery she went
and tenderly lifted the little doll.
PERHAPS you can save her, dolly
she whispered with half sob.
Avn hour later the mother and
father watched the little girl. as
she lay quie ly sleeping with the
little doll folded in her arms.
From that time she gained rap
idly, but she would not allow the
doll out of her sight. Even after
she had fully recovered the doll was
