You call her THAT Sort" because
she forgot the ancient law and sinned.
But she paid-she paid in days OF
burning agony-in nights of feverlsh
torture. Through sacrifice and suffer
ing she atoned, but the scarlet scar re-
manned. Sprang into her life, mother
love for a daughter forgotten, a girl
as pure as drifted snow. In the black

flesh. Then she made the supreme
sacrifice to save her loved one from
her own shame and the man who cast
her off. THAT Sort" will be seen at

A new barber chair of the same

ALEDO AT A GLANCE
Daily Dongs in Mercer Countys Busy Capital


To Jack Robertson, Aledo's motor
cycle cop, fell the lot of shooting sus-
picious acting dog on Saturday after
noon. The dog, a little white animal,
was muzzled and was accompanied by
a woman and two children. The muz-
zle evidently had worried the creature
almost to death, for soon it began to
bark and howl continually at the same
time running about wildly. The re-
moval of the muzzle did not quiet the
crazed animal for it continued it's
suspicious actions, running to the c., B.
& @ depot and back to the park sew
eral times, never stopping its yelping.
Mr.. Robertson, seeing the queer ac-
lions of the dog, shot at him with his re-
volver, near the depot The dog then
ran into the depot and crawled under
meath the seats there. Mr.. Robertson,
reaching in the windows, shot several
times before he was successful in kill
ing the beast

grating may become necessary to save
/ from disagreement the pretty face of
little blue-eyed Raymond Cinadr. The
child, however, must have skin grated
upon his left arm and both his limbs
in order TO save him. DR.. A. p. Don
oboe makes this statement Little
Raymond was severely burned about
both legs and his left arm, when he
became frightened and ran directly in
to a fire of papers and rags, ignited by
gasoline. His two small brothers,
John and Frank, started the fire on
the front porch of the home. Raymond
! is IS months old. John seven years
and Frank four years Of age. The chill
dren did not realize their danger in
/ building the fire The little fellow al
so received burns on the right side of
his face. He was rushed to Mercy
hospital by DIR. DOnOhOe. Raymond is
the son of Mr. and Mrs John A Gin
adr, 919 Warren street The mother,
hearing her baby's screams, rushed
upon the porch, saving her son from
fatal injuries while / think there is
a strong possibility Of Baby Cinadr's
face being cured without the aid of
skin grating, yet such might not be
the case" asserted DR.. DOuOhOe. How
ever, the lower parts OF both limbs
must have new skin and the left arm
must be treated in a like manner.

Bad Grammar Disturbs Chinks.

1t is a clipping from the June is

printed in both Chinese and English:
Surely it is time the magnates OF
the cinema world paid some attention
to English. Mistakes of spelling, gram
mar and syntax are only too frequent
ly displayed on the screen. The worst
sinners in this respect are. of course,
the makers of foreign fins. The inter-
