EXTRAl CHARACTER
JUST RUNS AWAY
FROM AUTHOR

Every dramRtlst and writer of fiction
has had the experience OF inventing a char
aoter that refuses to keep within bounds
that insists upon developing itself out of
all proportion TO tho other characters, and
that has no regard for the plot as original
ly mapped out by the creator OF the novel
or play. Such characters when discovered
are worthy OF the attention OF the writer
since they are apt TO be far moro vital
more human and more original than any OF
the others OF the authors invention In
deed. the very fact that they do Insist upon
running away is proof positive OF their
artistic Importance. In tho drama II has
frequently happened that minor char
acter even after the rehearsals OF the play
began. has insisted upon developing itBelf
into n leading role. Such was the case

MfRENPTHAH IS FOUND.
AMID EGYPTIAN RUINS
Said To Be Most Magnificent Of
All Palaces of Ancient
PharaOhs.

Philadelphia, Penn, Sept. b.
Merenpthah, most magnificent of all
palaces of the ancient Pharaohs, has
just been discovered in Egypt by the
University of Pennsylvania Museum
exedition there, according to an
nouncement made in this city to-day.
News of the excavation of the home
of the Egyptian Emperors which
will be received with interest by
psychologists all over the world,
came to this city in letter from DR..
Clarence S. Fisher, head of the Eek
ley b. Coke, Jr., expedition to Egypt
In a letter to officials of the Uni
versity Museum here, DR.. Fisher told
of the discovery of the Palace of
Merenpthah and characterized it the
greatest of all homes of the Egyp-
tian Emperors. DIR. Fisher further
announces in his letter that the ex-
cessive heat in Egypt has compelled
him to give up work in excavating
for several months.
Doctor Fisher made his first ex-
cavation around the palace of Me-
renpthah several months ago. His
more recent excavations show that
the palace is more than twice the
size archaeologists believed it to be.
thus esta blishing beyond dispute
that it is the greatest of all pal
aces"
According to Or. Fishers letter,
the portion originally eXcavated
seemed to be complete in itself. 1t
contains the famed Biblical throne
room where, according to Biblical
scholars, Moses and Aaron appeared
from time to time before Pharaoh
and demanded the liberation of the
lsraelites.

Philadelphia, Sept. 15.-All the

stealing a ham, he had revenge n

A few days ago he was discharg
ed. and last night he went to the
home of the man who sent him to

Charles w. Manley. now Supervisor
OF Roads in Westtown Township
Phon knocked at the door, and when
Captain Manley appeared he said:

to me about some road work.
Captain Manley did not recognize
his voice, and when his wife warned
him to be careful he picked up his
revolver. AS he opened the kitch-
en- door Phon opened fire with re-
volver. but the bullet struck the
screen door and glanced upward
over Captain Manley's head. Man
