BEDTIME STORIES
By Master Bernard Lenann
(Exactly as written)
Beauty.

Beauty.
When Beauty came to live with
Mary, he was only two months old.
Mary loved him and he always fol-
lowed her.
AS he grow he became more beauti-
full. His neck was tan and the rest of
his body was a snowy white. Beauty
and Mary grew to be fast friends.
One day man came to visit Mary's
mother. He admired the beautiful
dog. This man owned circus and
agreed to buy Beauty from Mary's
mother, though Mary begged her not
to sell him.
The circus people treated Beauty
meanly and he ran away to the sea-
shore.
Children would bring bread to him
every day. He would let them pet
him and would swim for sticks, which
amused the children greatly.
The children grew fond of Beauty
as Mary did. Sometimes he would
swim with them on his back. Each
child had her turn to ride in the wa
ter and the mothers trusted Beauty
with their children.
One day when Beauty was being
petted, he saw a child who was drown
| ing. He ran quick and plunged into
the water and swan after her. Beau
| ty caught the girl in his mouth and
swan back to land. She was unhurt
AS soon as Beauty looked at the
girl he saw she was his mistress and
| Mary saw that the dog was her Beau
| ty. Again were they to play under
the sheltering oaks at her mothers
country home Again were they to
pick daisies in the sunny fields. There
could not have been a happier girl at
that moment, nor could there have
been happier dog.
The summer was over and the hap
py friends returned home. And now
let us crown our hero with wreath
of roses and leave the two happy once
more.

VOTES FOR WOMEN.
Southern States Woman Suffrage
Conferences.
( 417 Camp Street, New Orleans.
A%%%%%%%%%% 49,
Woman Elected Wilson

Wonder what the Democratic party
will do about it? And how about
the stronghold of Democracy, the
solid south?" Will it be "solid"
enough to repay the western states
for the votes of women that kept the
Democratic party in power? The on
ly way is to give southern women the
ballot that they may repay by their
votes what they owe to the western
suffragists. Who's afraid Of women's
votes now? Pipe up, "solid southern
ersn Render to Mrs. Caesar Of the
west the votes you owe her. The
western women, western men and
southern men can stand under the
banner of liberty. Only the southern
weraaen must be herded aside with
well, say, who are those denied votes
besides women in the south? just
think the company over for moment.

Death of Mrs. Inez Milholland
Boisseyain.

The death of Mrs. Inez Milholland
Boissevain will be deplored by many
suffragists. Her wonderful beauty,
high culture and fearless views made
her of great assistance to the cause of
woman suffrage. Those who were pri-
vileged to witness the suffrage parade
in New York will remember the god
dess-like figure and statuesque beau
ty OF Mrs Boisseyain, who rode at the
head of the column.

The European war is now scheduled
to end in 1917, though just when and
how the termination is to be brought
about is wholly a matter of conjec-
ture and speculation. Doubtless the
forces of General Prostration, General

Living will have asmueh to do with

NEWS OF THE PHOTOPLAYS


herself the incarnation of the elf spir.
it, is starred in the fanciful romantic
photoplay, Little Lady Eileen,
which comes to the Grand next Thurs
day.
Eileen Kavanaugh is one of those
adorable Irish girls with a facile i'm
agination that is as creative as the
fairies themselves. She is bubbling
over with the spirit of romance and
w5h the sparkling wit and good hui
NOR that is typical of the best that is
Celtic, and even the total financial
failure of her father and the fact that
he has to withdraw her from school
does not in the least affect her gaiety
for the fairies will take her to her
love when the time comes, so why not
romp and be gay while yet she may?
1t means that very wealthy rela-
tive has left all his estate to Eileen
provided she marry certain very
fine chap. Of course the blessed fai-
ries see to it that they meet without
suspecting that they are predestined
to wed, and when the handsome young
chaps rascally brother, having heard
of the WILL, succeeds in wedding Eileen
under the name of his brother, the
fairies become SO incensed at him for
his duplicity that they roll huge
rock down upon him and crash the i'm
poster.

The latest news from Mexico is to
the effect that Gen. Villa, the elusive
and many-lived bandit, is making a
desperate attempt to capture the city
of Chihuahua, and that he has issued
an edict that all foreigners falling in
to his hands are to be killed. These
reports may or may not be true, as
the average political campaign lie is
usually gentleman and a scholar
alongside the average Mexican news

Friday next, telfst The story of high
bred girl who wearies of the empty
life of society when she realizes the
suffering, misery and poverty that ex-
lists in the great city in which she
lives. In spite Of the opposition of
friends and relatives she joins the Sal
walton Army, but conceals her iden-
tity. The poor people love her and
regard her as benevolent angel who
! has decended into their midst to be
one of their own.
Joan is attracted by Bill, who, she
thinks, is one of a gang of rough
characters of the saloon and gamb-
ling places, but who really has more
sterling qualities of manhood con-
cealed within him if they could be
brought out.
In a fight started at Salvation
Army meeting by=rowdies, Bill comes
to the rescue Of Salvation Joan, in
spite Of the risk Of great danger to
himself. This wins the gratitude of
Salvation Joan and the result is that
Bill becomes a regular attendant at
the Salvation Army srevices 1t is
hard to keep love and religion from
mixing.
AS society gin, Salvation Joan
had previously broken off her en-
gagement to Philip Ra1ston because
somehow she could not place conf
dence in him. This distrust was well
borne out when Ralston'se associa-
tions with gangsters were accident
ally revealed to her one day, when
she chanced to discover him leaving
"a meeting with a crowd of them.
To promote his sinister ends, Rails
ton traps Madeline Ellison, sister Of
Joan and the wife of: Ambassador
Ellison, and threatens that: if they
expose him he will scandalize
Madeline. The situation becomes
more and more complicated and
reaches its final climax when "Bill,"
after an evening Of thrilling adyen-
lures, turns out to be a secret service
man and arrests Ralston as a spy,
saving the country from war. Rails
ton, in an attempt to escape, is: shot
and killed. II
4 "Bill's" heroism wins the heart of
Salvation Joan and both reveal their
identity. and vow that they love each
ethert5just as sincerely as when each
thought the other a humber person.

A CONTEST OF CHARACTER,
NOT OF WEASEL WORDS
CARDINAL QUESTION IN THIS
CAMPAIGN is WHETHER THE
PEOPLE WANT IN THE WHITE
HOUSE A PHRASE-MAKER,
OR A MAN WHO BACKS
WORDS WITH DEEDS.

-
Woodrow Wilson excels in the ar
tistry of politics beyond the capacity
OF Charles Evans Hughes to compete.
Were the current campaign a game Of
professional politics instead of q con-
test Of character between two candi-
dates for the highest office in the gift
of the people, Mr.. Wilson would walk
away with the prize next November.
All his life he has made a study of
form-first of literary form-and lat
terly of political form. In the first
period he mastered a style peculiarly
his own, and peculiarly characteristic.
The study of words and their multi
plicity of meaning always fascinates
him, so much that a Princeton class.
mate recently said of him: Tommy
has lived with words so long he thinks
they are real things" Thence comes
his collection of what Theodore Roose
velt's Maine Guide calls 'eweasel
words" That is-"he can take a
word and weasel it around and suck
the meaning out of it like a weasel
sucks an egg, until 1t don't mean any
thing at all, no matter what 1t
sounds like 1t MEANS" Thence came
also the series of catch phrases, so
fascinating in sound, 70 false in sug-
gestion; SO easy to read, so hard to un-
derstand. So 1t is that he is able to
be on all sides of every public ques-
ton, while covering his circuitous
course with a flow of words hat roll
as easily from his pen as a brook
through the meadow. 1t is his artful-
ness in the use of words that enables
him to pose as IAN amateur in poll
tics" while playing the game with the
skill of a professional. Whatever his
ineptitude in other respects, he is cas-
lily first among presidents in the art
istry of politics, and he would win
next November, were that the test.
Compare the Witness of Mr.. Wilson
with the straightforwardness of Mr..
Hughes. Compare the smooth style of
the one with the rugged diction of the
other. The one is as complex in the
use of words as the other is simple.
1t is a case of so~norousness versus
strength. MIR. Hughes is depending
upon the strategy of straightforward
ness and the strength of sincerity A.;
upon the force of facts, instead of up
on the fiction of a phrase, to win his
case before the jury of the nation.
His appeal is to the head and not the
ear of the people; to their intelli-
gence and not to their emotion; to
their heroic side and not to their hys-
terical side. 1t is an appeal to the
courage of the country and not to its
co%wardice. Mr.. Hughes could not, If
he would, perform in a year the po-
litical tricks that Mr.. Wilson can do
in a day. The question today is
whether the people want in the White
House for the next four years a
phrase-maker or a history-maker; a
man of many sayings, or a man who
backs his words with deeds. There
is a fundamental difference between
the two candidates, which marks the
line of cleavage in this extraordinary
campaign-"Hughes means what he
says"

THAT SUNDAY
Dinner Fetish
Interesting Reasons Why Modern
Housekeepers Should Wean the
Family From Sabbath Overeat-
ing and Keep Ii a Day Of Real
Rest and Peace.
eTHERE are more reasons than
one for blue Monday" The

NIlEItE are more fcuSOHS lIdI
one for blue Monday" The
advent of the weekly washday
hitherto has borne all the re-
sponsibility for this nickname, but
most housewives know only too well
that the strenuous Sunday, which pre-
cedes it, is generally the real cause.
In the vast majority Of homes, where
the members attend church and Sun
day school with systematic regularity,
Sunday after meeting Is considered
more or less a gala occasion. The good
man Of the house, as well as other
members of the family, expect an es-
pecially good dinner. with at least a
fine roast, hot vegetables, salad and ar
elaborate dessert in recognition of the
currence for extra guests to drop in
for Sunday dinner.
This, of course, means a very busy
mornings work in the kitchen for
somebody. Even the housewife who
employs help is obl~iged-unless the
maid is very competent-to be con-
stantly on the alert to see that things
run smoothly. Moreover, the mistress.
to allow for the maids shorter hours Of
service on Sunday and her Afternoon
Off" must frequently take the greater
part Of her WI day Of rest % to do
the things that she thinks must be
done.
To rectify this Sunday bugbear" set
a reasonable hour for breakfast and
make a meal of the simplest descrip-
ton, and let the service be somewhat
on the English plan. Let those who are
tardy wait upon themselves. Fruit.
uncooked cereal, a plate of thin bread
and butter, with eggs that may be
boiled upon the table, will give all the
essentials of a nutritious breakfast, es-
pecially at this aso of the year,
when heavier. hot food Is not required.
When only one maid Is employed
and she is absent from home for the
afternoon a midday dinner is perhaps
easiest for the housekeeper. The es-
sentials of this may easily be made
ready on Saturday. Thus the actual
cooking of the dinner need consume
but half or th~ree-quarters of an hour.
Or If a hot dinner is demanded-and
it is always the wiser plan to have one
in case there come a few days of damp.
cold weather-broiled steak, fried
chicken, PANIED chops, a chicken pie
that can be made on Saturday and will
1only require relocating, IT n Of the
many savory dishes that Gun be pre-
pared in the f1reless cooker will all be
found excellent suggestions to lessen
the Sunday culinary labor.
In like manner try to arrange the
supper or "high tea" so that it will be
of the simplest character. A variety
of dainty sandwiches, a cup of bouil-
lon, salad or some chatting dish dain-
ty easily prepared and supplemented
by iced tea or coffee, fruit and waters
purchased by the box offer the house
wife a wider range from which to
make her selection.

Birth After Death.

The birth of a child half an hour af-
ter its mother, Mrs. Mary Fucchera,
had met violent death by fall from
a window in Brooklyn creates one of
the most remarkable surgical records
that have been made in many years
according to the statement made by
one of the officials of the Long Island
College Hospital, says the New York
World. The child was saved by has
ty ceasarian operation by DR.. Frank
Ling. For two hours the physician
worked over the little body in which
the pulse still was beating family. He
blew his own breath into the child's
mouth and exhaled it again by artific-
ial respiration. Finally there was an
answering breath and cry, and he
took the child to the hospital.
There it was found to be a "a
pound baby, normal and well devel-
oped. 1t is strong and probably will
live.
AT the hospital it was said that no
case Just like that could beremember-
ed in the history of medicine in Brook
Ign, and it was intimated that while
the officials had not yet had time to
do anything for the young doctor, he
will at least come in for warm COM
mendation for his alertness and abili-
ty. The baby is named Frank forthe
man to whom he owes his life.
