nightly There IS also encioseo
a portion of the Evening Journal

umn an account of the discovery
of a "Chinese Arsenal" but the
young fellow who wrote this story
is a little off as these implements
of war used in the Chinese fueds
are nothing more than relics of
by gone days when the Hip Sings
longs were atwar with the On

patton of another Tong war for as
we have suppressed gambling and
driven the gam blers to other cities
the other undesirable element
have gone with them.
The Chinese arr very interest.
ing and it is hard to understand
them, but by persistence and per.
severance we beat them at the ir
own game. and they finally gave
up for the hrst time In the history
of Chinatown. When the Chinese
used to fight they always used re.
volvers of large calibre-4S colts
or Smith & Wesson. If police
officer was to show them the reg
ulation police revolver which is a
3s Police Positive Colt, they
would remark: "He be too lung"
(young). When Chinaman fires
a revolver at another, he as rule,
shuts his eyes and turns his head
the other way. There is a fellow
here by the name OF Louie Way
one of the old Chinese gunner
who was hired to 60 around to
Mott street to shoot one of the
head men in the On Leon Tongs
by the name of Gee Toy. He
went around with his big IS Colts

away until tomorrow" He gathered his belongings up recklessly, and strOde into his own room, between which and mine there was a connect ing door and dumped his clothing carelessly in a, heap on a chair, part of the things sliding off on the floor.
 "Oh, Dicky, Dicky!' I demonstrated, hurrying after him. Wait, I'll put these away for you"
 "Youll put nothing away" Dicky returned, snatching up his pajamas from the heap on the floor I'm going to have this light out and be in bed in twenty eight seconds, and r. advise you to do the same "TI put all these things away in the morning. Good night
 l knew better than to irritate him by perssting in arranging his cloth ing. When Dicky is sleepy, he is like spoiled child, and any light or noise in his room makes him rage
 What Madgc Saw.
 So I went back into my room, hastily undressed and slipped into bed, regretting that Dicky had forgotten the promise he had made to change it's position so that I might see the mountains when I first awoke in the morning.
 In a few moments sounds from Dicky's room told be that he was asleep and snoring, as he does when he is very tired. But I could not sleep. Underneath my window heard the sound of voices, which after while died away into silence. It seemed hours that I lay there in the stiffness.
 Then the long prolonged call of a screech owl sounded in my ears. I had heard many of them at the country places where my mother and l had spent our vacations. There was something about this one, however, that seemed different in some way to the call of any owl I had ever heard before.
 All at once the solution flashed across my mind: It was not the call of a bird, but a clever imitation, a per sistent signal.
 I crept out of bed and looked from the window. The whistle came from the direction of a tiny building which before supper I had noticed just showing through the trees some yards away from the farmhouse
 In the darkness I could see no movement in that direction, but light in a small bungalow very near my side of the house, which l thought must hold the Cosgrove family when they had a houseful of guests at tracted my attention. Shadows were crossing and recrossing before It.
 As I looked, the lamp was suddenly turned low, the door opened ana three stealthy figures crept out ana hurried in the direction from which the plro- call had come.

SIR BEERBOHM TREE
 ON THE FOX SCREEN

One of EngIand's greatest present. day actors and one of Americas most successful present-day authors con- tribute their joint efforts toward the making of "The Old Folks at Home," the Triangle drama to be presented at FOXs today and tomorrow. The choice of this vehicle for the screen appearance of Sir Herbert was made after going over the material on hand with fine tooth comb. The choice was well made, for the part of John Coburn rugged and stern, a father of the old school. who needs to see his son in direct peril Tn ordef to realize his duty to the boy, IS one re- mark ably adapted to both the person. ality and art of the veteran actor. The theme of the play is parental love, ana the story gives the star and the lead ing members of his supporting cast opportunities for excellent emotional work. Tn addition to the above the Paramount plays will offer the Mor- osco Photoplay, His Fathers Son. featuring Vivian Martin. Miss Martin is very beautiful and wonderfully at tractive in the crilolines and hoop skirts of the south ''befo' de Wah,' but as the charming little girl has to make good'' as a boy and the hearts of all are with her in the interesting course that she takes, makes this an interesting and appealing photo drama. A two-reel Keystone comedy and the Paramount photograph will make up the balance of the program .YeeM oUl Jo sHep oMl lsIg oul LoJ Announced as a coming attraction IS the new military serial, by Guy Me- Cornell, produced by Pathe and feat uring Americas serial girl, Pearl White.

makes no difference whether you are tired business man, a fatigued housewife or just an ordinary person looking for the lights of life to pass away the time, Alma" is the pre- scription. It is an antidote for that blue feeling and can make dull care slink into a corner and evaporate.
 Miss Georgia Campbell will assume the title role and those who saw her work and heard her singing at the Lyceum last week will, no doubt, storm the doors for admission. Miss Campbell is one of the sweetest vo- calists New Britain has ever heard and her work in Alma" will be cer- tain to please. Then there is Walter Wills, the ''pretzel man, the enemy of sadness and personal representative of gladnss. MT. Wills made a decided hit last week with his India rubber dancing. He is the human elastic if there ever was one. Elasticity is his ty of opportunity to repeat his per formances of last week with a few added surprises.

 The Only Way to Defeat Failure.
 The only way to defeat failure is to make of it a rung on the ladder Of success.
 And the only way to do this, as we have often been told, is not to make the same mistake twice. We hear that warning frequently, and it is an excellent one. But there is another which is just as necessary.
 Don't be afraid of making the same mistake, that you fly off on a tan gent and make the opposite mistake. I have some friends who bought a house a few years ago in great haste. They Bought in 8 Hurry. They had to move from the apart l ment they were occupying; they saw 1 this house. they liked some things l about it They were told that houses
