Hod Peters always carried his lunch
to work with him, but he eats it be-
fore he starts so as to save time at
noon.
Old Lafe Tubbs says when he was
in the army he was where the bullets
was the thickest. but Abe Renfrew
says that Is a. durn lie, for the bullets
was all the same thickness and he
knows it.
Lem Higgins says he always stops
smokin' durin' political campaigns.
and he knows he has added at least
twenty years to his life by so doing.
The old philosopher who said
there was nothing impossible in this
world never tried to get a real poem
published in fifteen-cent magazine.
1t is natural for a Teller to worry If
he Is going to be hanged. but it doesn't
do no partickler good at that.
If every woman spent as much time
thinkin' about marriage before the
ceremony as she does afterward, there
would be fewer divorces in this coun-
try.
My idea of a natural born crook is
Teller who will cheat himself play

It always seems as though every
Teller in this country knows how to
run affairs at the White House bet

An Emperor on 81 Day.
Emperor Franz Josef of Austria
Hungary lives on 81 a day, but the
answer is easy. He is an emperor.
If an emperor wants to wear a cellu-
loid collar and wash it himself no one
dares to criticise. An emperor can
wear a 81 suit until the fringe hangs
about its edges and no one dares OBJ
ject. An emperor can live on oat-
meal, smoke Pride of the Gravel
Train" and use bluing in order to save
ink if he wants to under the divine
right of kings. Royalty covers a null
titude of pecu1iarities. A king can put
on a 25-cent necktie with a rubber
loop and hook over the collar buttoI.
and instead of being called cheap he
is lauded as the originator of a new
style.

PEARL WHITE BACK
 ON FOX'S SCREEN

Another big serial success is due to open at Fox's tomorrow when the American serial girl, Pearl White, makes her return to the screen in Pathe's sensational military serial, Pearl of the Army" This story deals with the subject of preparedness, and Miss White is seen as the modern Joan of Arc. The hero of the story is a young army officer accused of having secret dealings with a foreign nation by an agent of the secret ser vice. The plot is ingenious in con- structiOn and throughout the story the manner of handling situations mark a new era in photoplay produc- ton. Supporting Miss White is an all star cast including Ralph Kellard and Marion Wayne. Chapter one, entitled the Traitor'', will be shown today and tomorrow. In addition to above the Triangle will offer Norma Tal- madgc the talented Plainville girl in 'ITifty-f -fifty". This is the story of girl who nlarrieS and decides to set tie down. She finds, however, that her husbands main attraction in life is in the outside and she herself gives herself to outside pleasures with re- markable results. This is pronounced by critics as the beft work Miss Tal- madge has done for the screen SO far. Owen Moore and Marguerite COurtot are co-starod in the Famous Players Paramount production ''The Kiss.
 This is light comedy in which the kiss and the acroplane vie with each
 other for the center of attraction. The balance of the program will present the Keystone Players in two reel
 comedy and the Paramount newspa~ 10 piptn0r3 a special attraction during the regu- lar performance a scene for the Her aids local motion picture will be

THE RED WIDOW"
 AT LYCEUM TONIGHT

Bombs, secret service sleuths, Mi hlllstS, plots against the life of the czar, Russian troops, Russian dances the troubles of an American corset salesman, the scheming of a beautiful anarchiSt-these are a few of the fea- lures of "The Red WidOW," a mclangc of mirth and music that opens to- night at the Russwin Lyceum with the Lyceum Musical Stock company on the other side of the footlights.
 The Red Widow" is the most eN- traVagant attraction Director Perrin has offered since the company opened it's season in this city. It is probably strong a number as he has on his books and like "Ama," last week. $ offering, it is built on laughs, only more so.
 The troubles of an American corset salesman abroad form the basis for one of the funniest plots on the Am erican stage. UnWittinGly he be comes involved with a band of NihiI- iStS and much against his will he is forced to become their comrade al though he wishes again and again that he was back in quiet little New York where there is nothing more danger ous than subway and elevated wrecks, auto bandits and iron girders drop ping off new sky scrapors
 Director Perrin has gone to extra expense in order to produce "The Red Widow" as it should be produced. He has enlarged the chorus and has made an extensive outlay of money for costumes. He is confident that the comedy will win many new friends for his company.
 Walter Wills, the leading comedian, and many other members of the com pany have appeared in road prOduc- tions of "The Red Widow" and eX- pect to give New Britain theatcrgOers a finished show. The music of "'The Red Widow" is catchy, the principal mum bers being 'T Love Love- and q Shall Never Look at Pretty Girl Again."

The Novelty of likeness

served with food that she had not marketed for to rise as late as she felt like, to bathe and dress in absolute leisure, to walk, to read all the 1aS- cinating magazines and pleasant books she found on every side, to sink at night into bed apparently made of down and roses, covered with q robe of silk and clOudS-Oh. the JOY of it all!
 For the first few nights her very thoughts made sleep impossible. Janet thought of Walter alone in their It. tie home, with only the daily mlnls- trations of brown Katie to keep nm comfortable. Walter, working hard by day and tinkering on his plays ana stories till past midnight. Walter, the good COmradc, the underStanulng friend, the welded lover. How idiotic of her, Janet, to go and have a ner- vous breakdown like any stupid men tai spendthrift. Why had she not been able to keep her balance, to give out her energies wisely, to con- serve her forces? Were women poor things after all? The weaker vessels, the Trailer souls? Was she really gO- ing to fail in her undertaking of com bining love and work? This thought set her brain spinning. Close on it's wings came the determination to sue ceed.
 Then rest" whispered her reason. "Get back your polse and take fresh hold of life. This time you stumbled a little. But that happens to all. Pick yourself up and start again. You'll succeed next time'
 And so her reason lulled her and soon she began to drink in the luxury about her with thirsty eagerness. Her fellow guests were almost without eX- ception of the class to whom money has never been a problem. Amuse- ment was their only pursuit. Novelty was their shibboleth. Dress was the only art they followed with energy. Filtration was a natural by-product of their existence. ..........
 One of the women of this strange, new world made friendly overtures to Janet. More from curiosity than any thing, else, Janet responded, and an odd, more or less unprofitable, ac- quaintance sprang up.

Cowardly Proverbs

One Of those proverbs which Stew ensOn branded as "cowardly" was quoted by friend the other day. She was ridiculing mutual acquaintance who has just bought an automobile camp trailer-one of those two wheeled affairs which follow your car and carry a complete camping outfit
 It's just like Ann," said my friend. She's always going in for those crazy things
 Tt sounds interesting to me-" I ven- tured.
 "But my dear!" she exclaimed. "Surely they can't be worth much, else other people would have them''
 '"They're new, aren't they?" I asked.
 They Were New, Therefore They
 Could Not Be Good.
 "That's just the point,'' she ex- claimed, triumphantly. New and un- tried. Now, my motto is, Be not the first by which the new is tried. nor the last by which the old is laid aside"
 It's really the first half of the prov erb I object to. Of course, we can't all be pioneers. We simply must play | safe.
 But why ridicule those who have 1 the faith and the courage to try the new, They are the scouts who volun- l teer to go forth and find out what th e | future holds in store for you and me. Remember the beginnings of the 1 automobile? There was a time when somebody had to try that. Suppose everybody had hung back and re- fused to be the first by which the new

IRWlN'S MAJESTICS
 AT GRAND THEATER
XS3.- =,

Fred Irwin's 'Majestics' will be the attraction at the Grand Theater all this week. A large company and thirty attractive chorus girls, stun ningly costumed, will appear in the show. In putting this production on the road, Fred Irwin has made a suc- cess of his undertaking. Florence Bennett, blonde beauty, Is the prima donna. Paul Cunningham, who is credited with having written many of the present day burlesque books, in cluding the one for the "Majestics," |" is leading man. He gives here his best efforts as music writer and tenor soloist Lyle LaPine, fresh from his success on the Pacific coast Is the real fun-maker with the "Majestics." The demand for Hawaiian dances is answered by MT. Irwin's lavish num- bers, staged especially for these num- bers. There are sixteen scenes. Frank DeMont. direct from big time vaude- vile, will present some clever special ties.

 X Puzziing Question:
 'Oh, let us go along the bank, by all meanS,' 1 returned, for the rolling, tumbiinS mountain stream l had seen coming up on thctrain was the sight I wished most to sec
 We descended the steep bank through brushWood and stones, which tested sorely my ability to keep my feet. But With Dicky's aid l soon scrambled down the marrow bank of the stream, where the feet of other fishermen had made a rough trail.
 Do let us sit down a minute Dicky,' I begged. Tt is so beautiful here I want to look at it. Besides, l simply cant go fishing or do anything else until you tell me the story of Robert Savarin the artist, who painted those paintings We saw in the parlor Of the farmhouse last niGht.'
 DickN looked at me Quizzically.
 'Stil on the trail, Sherlock HOlmes?" he asked.
 ''Pcrhaps," 1 returned, enigma tically.
 Tt isn't much of a story,' he said, thOughtfully. Just ask mo what you wish to know and I'll try to answer.'
 First, is Robert Savarin living or dead :' l asked quickly.
 ''That's a question which hash t been answered for fifteen years. '' Dicky replied.

Now you just keep on letting me think for you dear," said Walter Sted. { man, as his wife snuggled against his shoulder contentedly. I'm no tyrant, as you we'll know. But there are times when a man can think for q
 woman better than she can for her. self'
 "Just as woman,' put in Janet, "can think better for a man some times-llke when he is being imposed on by another woman, or wearing h1mself to shadow with overworl1.
 or gong out into storms without his ruppers, or eating and drinking and smoking too much, or-or-"
 There!' Never mind racking your brain, you poor little, self-riehteous she-person," grinned Walt lovingly. For that matter, when anybody is overworked and overstrung and over- tired, whether man or woman, some body else can do the thinking for that person better than he can himself Now, for example, I've made up my mind that you are to go straight up to Hill Farms Inn for two fat weeks of absolute rest and quiet"
 "Oh, Waltie Not that swell, ex- pensive place! I'd feel as guilty as an idle millionaire. never could"
 There, it's settled said Stedman, paying no attention to his wife's con- vulsive objections. "I'1l go up with you tomorrow evening and stay over Sunday. Then you are to forget me and your office and all your work and and all your friends and all your housekeeping and everything In the whole world but relaxation and rest. It's the boss's orders." added Walt firmly. And thus 1t was settled, the masculine mind, for this time at least, overbearing all objections and all qualms of conscience the feminine heart conjured up.
 On the following Monday morning, therefore, Janet Stedman found her self waving good-by to her husband from the porch of a lavishly com fortable and beautiful country hotel on the shore of a lake in the heart of the hills.
 At first Janet had a weird sense of being somebody else. To have noth- ing to do, to be waited upon, to be

 Likewise Gas, Electric Lights, Stoves

 The same is true of gas and electric lights; of stoves and shoe polish. Every benefit that has accrued to the human race came wrapped in the swaddling cloths of doubt.
 Columbus visioned a new route: a continent was opened to the white race. With him were a band of hardy adventurers whose names history does not record.
 In every generation there art men who, like Arkwright, Whitney or Edison, vision something new. And with them are allied a band of hardy adVenturers whose names we do not know, but to whom we are everlast- 1ngly indebted. They were the first by which the new was tried!
 Don't Laugh If You Can't Dare.
 Play safe if you must. Let John Jones or Tom Smith try the new. But dont hold them up to ridicule, even II the things they try out fail them and leave them looking-and prob ably feeling foolish
 But for them anl the men like them in other centuries, civilization would not exist. And you and I and all the others who "play safe" would be seated in our caves, eating our meat raw.
 For caves came before houses, just as surely as carriages came before automobiles. And somebody must have been the first by whom the new idea of cooked food was tried.
