Majestic Today.

"The Heritage of Hate" is the of
fering at the Majestic today. From the
very nature of the plot this big story
demands more than ordinary care in
direction; and absolute perfection of
its continuity has been achieved, be-
cause Director George produced the
picture with a full realization of this
fact Roberta is the abandoned daugh-
ter of a cast-off mother. Her fathers
perfldy kills the mother and the child
lives only for revenge. The man
prospers and Roberta, grown up, be-
comes a stenographer in his office,
where she plots against him to satisfy
her hatred of this unnatural parent,
whom she feels is as guilty of her
mothers death as if he had murdered
her in cold blood. Step by step this
wonderful drama unfods the girls
vindictive plans. But strong love
interest keeps the action clean and
wholesome. and finally when the poor
deluded girl has succeeded in running
her father, she learns how little sat
isfaction there is in the consumma-
tion of a deliberate wrong. Ebert
Hubbard used to say, you get what

II now before he takes that long Jour
ney all OF us must take. When ne
awoke one morning feeling all the
good things of life tingling through his
veins he had to find some expression
for his feelings. He wrote this letter
to The Ardmoreite. 1t was eagerly
published and sent on its journey TO
make the grum and the crouch asham-
ed TO talk his ills and his hard luck
and his discouragement.
Uncle Johnnie is SS years OF age as
we count time. but as he reckoned IT,
he Is only IS. He has all the JOY OF
life he had in his youth except that
ioy is mellowed in the rich school OF
experience and has a foundation built
upon triumphs over human ills and
blighting sorrow He has been ra-
diant with life. No man could stand
in his presence hear his cheerful
words. observe his busy hours and not
20 away with new inspiration, an in
spiration to be more devoted to his
employer or to his business and better
to his folks at home. The wealth of
such an influence cannot be measured
in dollars and cents. 1t brings that
which material wealth cannot pur
chase. It brings courage when life
looks black, it brings cheerfulness in
stead OF dscouragement, it brings joy
instead of sorrow.
That letter was not an appeal to
human sympathy Divine compassion
forgives and uplifts and heals, but
human sympathy blackens the mist
that already hovers over too many.
Note the expression upon the face
of the professional beggar, and read
the lines wrought by craving and
prayer for human sympathy. Compare
the lines with those upon the face Of
the man equally as badly crippled but
who earns his own living. Here you
see the result of craving for human
sympathy.
Uncle Johnnie assures you that in
mates love company, but they are not
craving for long faces and a heart
broken attitude They love life and
want their visitors to feel that same
radiance. 1t is suggestion that can
be carried out with success in visits
to all prisoners, aims houses and in
the sick chamber

A MESSAGE FROM THE
CONFEDERATE HOME

Did you see that letter published a
few days ago, signed by John William
son at the Confederate Home? That
letter Is worth hundred love stories
published in the magazines. 1t is
worth more than all these because it
bears a message that was not learned
in any book 1t came from the source
of all real knowledge it was gathered
from the perfumed flower and not the
withered plant; 1t was gathered from
the sunshine and not the shadow, it
was gathered from the worth of love
and not from the chill Of hatred it
came as revelation from the source
of all real knowledge.
That letter bears a message Of graf.
itude Uncle Johnnie did not write
to show people how much he knows,
he did not ponder over any sentence
to try to make it pretty, he did not
write IL to advertise himself as an
inmate OF state institution, and most
of all. he did not write it to appeal to
human sympathy.
The first light that comes to his
mind upon waking in the morning Is
the light Of joy and of happiness and
of cheerfulness, and it is all bundled
together and called gratitude. He is
grateful for life and for all the good
things 1t has brought. lie must have
burst more nearly through the mist
than others and caught a glimpse Of
the world to come which we are as.
sured awaits us. Or he has done bet
ter He has learned to grasp the life
to come and brought it down here
where he can live and enjoy and use

Beer Party

Deputy Sheriff Tom Brown, who
has been particularly busy the past
week, during the absence of Sheriff
Williams, who is visiting in Texas
received a telephone message at $3.50
Tuesday evening, stating that rob-
berry had been committed about three
miles northeast of Pennington. and
that the victim and thieves were head
ed this way. Deputy Brown was
awaiting them, with reception COM
mittee, when they reached the city
limits, and proceeded to arrest the
entire bunch of seven, and took them
to Jail, where an examination was con-
Quoted, with the assistance of Pros
ecuting Attorney Davis.
The fact was developed that the
party had been out to Cushman's beer
house, just over the boundary line in
Ste. Genevieve county, and were re-
turning home when the alleged rob-
berry occurred, six riding in a. surrey
and one horseback. Henry Wampler,
who claimed he had been robbed of
$2S, accused the negro driver and a
white man with the crime, while the
others were in different stages of un-
consciousness, all pretty well "jag-
ged".
The two parties accused were lock-
ed up for the night, while the Others
were permitted to continue to chase
their Jag homeward. Further invest
igation the next morning, however,
failed to develop sufficient evidence
to justify the holding of the parties
accused, and they were turned loose.
Publicssentiment seems to be that no
one should have as much money as
$23 while engaged in such "pil-
grimage."

Temptation Was
Irresistible

Frank Malone stepped into Donald
sons Restaurant at Flat River last
Monday and ordered lunch. Mr..
Donaldson carelessly laid down small
sack of money, about $10O, behind the
counter, and shortly after stepped
back into the kitchen for a moment,
Malone, taking advantage of the brief
absence of the proprietor, lifted the
sack and made hasty getaway. 1t
was not for long, however, that he
enjoyed his ill-gotten gain, for he was
oveftaken between Bismarck and
lrondale by Constable Edmunds and
John Fitzpatrick, taken in charge
and brought back. All the money ex-
cept dollar or two was recovered
Deputy Sheriff Brown was notified
went over to Flat River and brought
Malone to Pennington. He is now
meditating in "durance vile" over the
folly of yielding to temptation and
swiping his neighbours goods.

Mining Properties

George Trauernicht, son of Albert
Trauernicht, of this city, arrived Sun
day for a visit of a week or two al
his old home, and to undergo treat
ment for symptoms of appendicitis,
from which he has recently been suf-
fering more or less. He already feels
greatly improved, and he and his pa
rents are hopeful that an operation
will not be necessary, at least not at
this time. George has been connected
with mining industries for the past
ten years, and at present is bookkeep-
er for the Bilharz Mining Co., near
Commerce, Okla.
The many friends in this commun-
ity of o. M. Bilharz will be glad to
know that he is the principal owner
of one of the best and most extensive
mining properties in the rich field
recently opened up in the vicinity of
Commerce. The Bilharz Mining Co.
now has one mill running, and ano-
ther in course of construction, and are
taking out high grade zinc and lead
as rapidly as it can be mined. Mr..
Bilharz was for a number of years
superintendent of the Doe Run Min
ing Co. in this county, where he still
has host of friends. He is recognized
As one of the best mining engineers in
one of the best mining engineers in
the world, and while he was one of
the highest priced men in the employ
of the Doe Run Co., it was practically
nothing in comparison with his pres
ent holdings in the Commerce field.

Murder or Suicide?

Last Monday the body of Nick Vos
cow, Russian miner, was founc
about a half mile from Owl Greek
bridge off the road leading from Des-
loge to Leadwood. The body was ly-
ing in clump of cedar bushes, coat
off and under the head, left hand un-
der the body and right hand extend
ed, three pistol shot wounds from q
3srcaliber pistol in the breast--one
near the heart-and a pistol lying
beside the body.
A Mr.. Butler passing that way saw
about fifty yards off what looked
like the form of man lying on the
ground, and going over to it found
the dead body. AS soon as he could
he notified Coroner English, who sum-
moned Prosecuting Attorney Davis
and instituted an inquest over the
body.
The inquest developed the fact that
the body was that of Nick MOSCOW,
Russian miner. He had worked for
the Desloge Lead Company up to
about three months ago, when he lay
ed off and went to st. Louis. A few
weeks ago he returned to Desloge and
stopped for awhile with couple of
cousins. On Sunday about three
weeks ago he left there to look for
work and they had not seen him since
until his dead body was found, and
no one could furnish any trace of his
going and coming since he left his
cousins place three weeks before.
MOSCOW, who was about 30 years
old, married last summer, and it seems
that he and his wife did not get along
very well; they quarrelled, and it is
reported that she tried to commit
suicide. The last heard of her was
through some relatives of Voscow in
st. Louis, who had not seen or heard
from her for two months. It develop
ed also at the inquest that Voscow
had been very Respondent.
The Coroner's jury returned an
open verdict Everything indicated
suicide except the three shots in the
breast, and there was some question
as to whether Voscow could have shot
himself three times, all of which shots
penetrated the body. Also the tracks
of a light wagon making an abrupt
turn were found about one hundred
yards from where the body lay; sug-
gesting that it might probably have
been hauled to where it was found.
