entine a questionable character AL
though the camp boss believes that he Is
der, he risks the danger of being arresfet,
and comes to the rescue of the girl.
The production brings to the fore two
players who by their work in this fea-
ture can qualify as stars Bessie Love
plays the role of Nettles with sense of
humor and a spontaneity which she has
not shown in her previous pictures. Her
work in the scene where she gives the
camp boss taste of his own fighting tao
tics is thoroughly delightful Wilfred
Lucas, as the boss, gives a remarkably
human and natural characterization of a
type of role which usually suffers from
stereotyped acting. Together, the work
of these two players is the most satisfy
ing we have seen in a long time.
Another bit of acting that stands out
is done by Ralph Lewis, who plays the
part of a weak-willed clergyman, and the
scenes which show the death of the camp
'parson' are exceptionally well done
The boys of the camp give him fine
funeral and afterward "enjoy their grief"

The combination of tragedy and humor in
The picture throughout is rich in human
interest and the subtitles are written in
the best style.
But then the picture Is a Triangle pro-
ducton as well as being presented at the
Triangle playhouse, and that tells the
story.

The San Francisco Chronicle Is SO
identified with the history of California
that the celebration of that papers
golden anniversary creates an interest
which overfiows the boundaries of local
pride and reaches out to every state In
the Union. This jubilee, and all II
stands for. has been marked by many
honors, though 1t can have received no
more lasting tribute of appreciation
than the present volume which records
the Chronicles half century of years
The author has given to his work a
his long connection with the publica-
ton, and there is a fine spirit of stan
loyalty which all newspaper writer's
will understand and commend. Every
pulses with the life of section whose
activities are succession of dramatic
events. With an opening glimpse OF
the period before the awakening OF
California"-an era commemorated by
a full-page reproduction of the statue
err, erected in Golden Gate Park-one
gets a panoramic review of early con-
ditions, and of the part taken by the
press in the upbui1ding Of San, Fran
of the Chronicle by Charles and NJ. H

this paper in its ever upward struggle
for supremacy is to come in touch with

their descendants Of today. Other and

rebuilt it with strength Of splendoi
to prove that nature could be mastered
by man.

The Charleston Chimes.

wv HILE the Old World boasts of
Wv many famous bells and chimes.
to which clings the association of ro-
nance and poetry. there are no bells
in the world that have had a more
adventurous career than those Of St.
Michaers. at Charleston, s. c. The
we'll authenticated story of this cele-
brated peal shows that the bells COM
posing 1t have crossed the ocean no
less than five times-once as heap of
twisted metal
The ST. Michael bells were cast in
England some time before the revo-
lutionary war and brought to this
country. When the war against the
old country began the Charleston peal
was sent back to England SO that It
might not be injured. Upon the con-
clusion of the war the Charlestonians
clamored for their bells. and II be-
came the duty of our first minister to
Great Britain to see that they were re-
turned. His negotiations were success
full and the bells were, with much cere-
mony. reinstalled in the church
Their next adventure came with the
civil war, when the steeple of St.
Mfchaers was made target for the
when the army of Sherman occupied
that town the sheds of the yard of the
state house wherein the bells had
been stored were broken into and the
bells smashed into fragments, the
sheds being fired.
The bells were not. however COM
pletely done for" At the close of the
war the pieces were carefully gath
cred and shipped Liverpool, together
with directions as to how they should
be recast. the specifications being
taken from the records of ST. Michaers.
which showed where the bells had
been cast and the proportions
1t was found that the firm of bell
founders which had cast the bells in
the first place was still in existence,
of descendants of the orig
inal firm. The records of this firm
showed that the proportions of the
casting correspondent with those of
record at st. Michaers, and so, under
those circumstances, the recasting of
the bells was not so difficult matter.
Accordingly. for the fifth time, they
crossed the ocean and were set up &c

grows It is believed that the pioneers
of that section practiced the art of
making brandy from papaw before
Johnnie Appleseed began the work of
starting apple orchards and clusters
of other domestic fruit trees in that
section. Certain 1t is that the people
of the Ohio valley knew the virtues
or the evils of papaw brandy as the
about the delights of a beer which was
made from persimmons. a household
beverage which it would seem has al
most passed out of use.
The housewives in the papaw belt also
made another use of the fruit or the
vegetable. They converted it into Die or
as the filing and the favoring matter for
pie. A writer. discussing the uses of the
paPaw for brandy and pie, said:
When he has stuck a tooth into prop
erly prepared papaw pie and washed it
down with libations of papaw brandy
he will wonder why the habitues Of Olym-
pus restaurants made piece de resist
ance of nectar and ambrosia"
Papaw salad Is another dish which
seems to be we'll thought Of by the peo-
Pc OF the re- main 5,o papaw belt. for the
ing an invitation to Col. Henry Waiter
son OF the Louisville Courier journal to
sample the delights Of the papaw, says:
But before he comes to pies and lioueur. If he
is among the knowing. he win encounter another
papaw dish that VIII tickle his palate, refresh
him. delight him. In the gilded cafes Of Broad
way the alligator pear holds a place high in es-
TEEN and price. But II Is nothing even less
than nothing, compared with papaw salad,
When one has partaken of that and spreads the
news the papaw will come into its own.
The papaw was beloved by the Amer
lean Indians. Hakluyt, in his important
work. The Discovery and Conquest of
Florida" says There is a fruit through
all the country that groweth on a plant
like ligoacan which the Indians doth
plant. The fruit is like unto peares
rally. 1t hath very good smell and an
excellent taste"
It would seem that the first Europeans
to record an observation Of this tree and
its fruit were De Soto and his followers
in the Mississippi valley in 1541. though
It was first closely and clearly described
in the publication of Catesby's Natural
History of Carolina" about 1741, and in
Clayton's description Of the Flora Of Vir-
ginia," published in 1879, there occurs a
reference to the papaw.

Is the Papaw a Good Fruit
or a WORTHLESS Vegetable?
- No Sale
71HE American papaw has lately

come in for a measure of dis
cussion, learned and otherwise.
Not long ago there was published a
poetic and rhetorical grafton of Mere
on the subject of papaw, as intensely
developed in that state. The grafton
aroused the friends and the enemies
OF the papaw to combat, or at least to
debate. The friends naturally took the
position that the papaw is good. or at
least Mt to eat, and the enemies stood
their ground that the papaw is not
ft to eat, and Is only eaten by persons
who do not know any better. or whose
taste for fruit or vegetables has never
developed. or. having been developed,
has been corrupted.
Then there appeared a news note in
a number of newspapers that the
American Geneuc Society was consider
ing proposal to improve the papaw
That proposal aroused the editor of the
Columbia State Journal. who pre-
sumably has some first hand inforrna-
ton concerning the papaw. and he
wrote as follows:
The papaw offers unlimited chance for i'm

Nature has a Of humor. and the papaw

Of natures jokes. 1t 10 neither a sweet DO

Is neither beautiful nor good to eat. Unless
one were facing starvation. he would never
think Of eating It. and If he did SO he would
be sorry he did not let nature take its course.
We are aware that there are persons who
eat the papaw. But. 80. too. there are those
who eat whale blubber Both. we believe are
eaten only from dire necessity. The American
Genetie Society viii rob nature Of one Of its
little jokes II It improves the papaw It is
all right to preserve it as one Of the curiosities
Of vegetation. but not until this country is
being starved out BY q hostile nation will the
papaw ever become an article Of food
Not long ago there was another news
note which was published in a Ken
lucky newspaper, and which ran as
follows:
ION account Of the scarcity Of apples this
season Aaron Brewer. who operates a distillery
near Campbellsburg. in Washington county. an
nounces that he will attempt to distil brandy

palatable liquor can be made from the fruit"
