Abusing 2 True Friend.

The truest and most devoted friend that man ever had is the little mani mate bundle of nerves that stands guard by his bedside through the dead hours of the night, it's palpitating lit tie heart spreading cheer and conf dence over the surrounding gloom. Yet man often forgets the debt of gratitude he owes this faithful and tire1ess little friend for the sleepless, watchful hours it subjects itself to in order that he may slumber in security and comfort and when it sings it's merry morning lay I have seen him, instead of be slowing fond caresses, reach from his warm quilts, grasp it ruthlessly and slam it into the farther and darkest corner of the room, crushing the dainty hands that seemed uplifted in an at titude of horror a1rd protection, scorn- fully muttering such uncouth and un- worthy reproach as Hang that blink ety-blank alarm clock, anyhow!' then return to his snoring!-Zim in Cartoons Magazine.

EMPIRE

The Salvation Army of Los Angeles Is richer by many hundreds of dollars from the taking of the Jesse l.. Las ky production of "A Gutter Mazda lene,,'. which will be seen at the Elm pire this evening. with the distin- guished actress, Fannie Ward, in the title role In this picture, Miss Ward is seen as a private in this army of salvation. When the commander of the local barracks was approach ed for permission to use the members of his band and the interior of the barracks for motion picture purposes, the re- quest met with a refusal, but when he learned that the story dealt with the silent work of this army of heroes, he readily consented. After using the barracks for several days, the Lasky company sent them substan- tiaI check as a token of appreciation. It is a Paramount Program release and one of the true masterpieces of the screen. Other feature photo plays, The Scarlet Woman the lat est five part Metro wonderplay fea- turing that star of stars. Mme. Olga Petrova and an all star cast, will head be offered tomorrow.

HORSE ADMIRER FINDS PARADISE
 IN THE CIRCUS
Seven Hundred in the Bar mum & Bailey Outfit Elm
 brace All Varities.

Lovers of horses and horsef1esh, persofas who admire exhibition of in telligence or marks of pedigree in ami naa1s, will be interested in the horses which will be seen at the perform ances of the Barnum & Bailey Great est Show on Earth, which will give performances in Bridgeport Friday next
 There are 700 horses of various strains with the Big Show" There are the blue blooded lords of the saw dust ring, trained and spirited ami ma1s. Thefe are the eager slim bodied racers that take part in the contests of the hippodrome, and not the least in importance are the heavy and pow erfu1 clydesdales and percherons, which haul. the enormous amount of parapherna1ia from circus train to show ground and back again.
 It may be said that the Barnum & Bailey circus in it's acts of thrilling daring, of skill and originality, will be no what inferior this year to the stand ards it has set in previous seasons. This is also true of the great variety of rare animals in the menagerie.
 But it has always been a motto, since the day when Barnum led his little caravan from town to town in wagons, that the sthorse is king of the circus" and the truth of this is felt so strongly that the horse has a1- ways held the center of interest, even down to the prevent day. This year more than ever before the horse will be the feature of the circus. There are wa1tzing horses, horses that tango, bucling bronchos, angel horses, pom ies that perform wonderful feats. high school manage horses and beautiful statue horses, in groupings and poses from master sculptors. In the Hippo drone races which close the perform ances are many Arabian and Kentucky thoroughbreds giving a thrilling ex- hibition lof the old Roman style of racing together with an up-to-date re- production of scenes from the running races of today.

PLAZA

real. live, sparkling musical com edietta. that hits you right at the start and keeps you interested and smiling until the curtain falls, is 'The Dairy i Maids,'' Roland Vests newest produc- ftfon which is headlining an exception ally good bill at the Plaza the first thalf of the week and judging from the enthusiastic manner in which 1t was received by yesterdays audiences IL will prove a drawing card. There are F in the cast, nine who can sing and dance in a most pleasing manner and the chap who handles the leading male role puts over the comedy with telling effect and also proves himself royal entertainer when it comes to singing and dancing. A stupendous scenic and electrical investiture in addition to the many beatutiful costume changes was very noticeable.
 Keefe, Langton and White. a trio of merry harmonizers, were entitled to all the applause they received, for they had splendid voices and they new best how to blend them while the comedy they injected at frequent intervals was greatly appreciated.
 Powers and West +- F very funny skit of song and chatter, and Rialto and Darto have pleasing offering composed for the most part of some clever juggling and balancing by one of the boys while the other keeps the comedy work up.
 The Bug1e CaH,'' the main photo- play attraction on the bill and the lat est Triangle production, features Will liam Collier, Jr., s14-year-old son of the famous Broadway comedian, with Anna Lehr and a large cast of play ers.l The story of the picture is most interesting and dates back to tIe days when Indian attacks on the frontier were real menace. The battle scenes are s11endtdly depicted and the spec tator is absorbed ir- the plot from the start to the finish.

Inseot sits on It's Eaas.

Family matters in the case of insects usually mean only the depositing of eggs in suitable situations for the in- dependent development of the off spring, the parent insects often dying before the young appear. The earw1g. however, provides a remarkable excep- tion to the general rule, for it sits upon it's fifty or more eggs until they are matched, just as bird would do, and, moreover, if the eggs get scattered it carefully collects them together again. In the early months of the year, when digging the soiI female earwtgs may frequently be found'together with their batch of eggs. At the slightest sign of danger the young ones huddle close to their mother, hiding beneath her body so far as it will cover so large a family.-Strand Magazine.

Insect Wonders,

Nothing can exceed the perfection of the minutest parts of the insect or ganization in general. The finest strand in a spiders web, which can scarcely be seen, is said to be com posed of no less than 4,O00 threads. On a single wing of a butterfly have been found 100000 scales and on that of a silkworm moth 100000, each of these minutes scales being marvel of beauty and completeness in itself So thin are the wings of many insects that 5O,OOO placed over each other would only be a quarter of an inch thick, and yet, thin as they are, each is double.
