YOUNG WOMEN SEEK
 FAVOR AT KEENEYS s

Nettie Gordon, the champion rifle brated trainer of monkeys are in com petition for premier honors at Kee- ney's this week and judging from the applause given their respective acts and the amusement which the audi ence seems to derive from them it is difficult to tell which is the moro popular.
 Miss Gordon's speciality is a real novelty. In this respect it has the advantage over that of her rival. The young woman is a remarkable shot and she gives ample evidence of her skill at target shooting during the time allotted to her act. She goes through her stunts in quick time without any delays whatever and the accuracy with which she hits the bulls eye shows the result of her cleverness and confidence. Her play ing of the chimes with bullets from her rifle is the important feature Of her turn.
 The monkeys in Miss Diaz' collec- tiOn are an intelligent lot. They seem to have almost human conceptions and they go about their work without any urging from their instructor. They do many things new for monkey acts playing here and the audience likes them immensely.
 Mccarthy and Stenard in Both Sides of Naudeville,' furnish the lighter part of the show. They are clever entertainers and their act goes big every day.
 Interest in the motion picture at traction of the week centers in the picturiZation of Denman Thompson's immortal rural classic. 'Thc Old HOmeStead' which is scheduled for Friday and Saturday. The picture Is expected to prove one of the hits of the season.
 For tonight the features will be Naleska Suratt in The Immigrant" " and the twelfth episode in "The Strange Case or Mary Page

The ether day group of us were discussing a piece of good fortune which had befallen woman we all used to know in our school days.
 She has inherited sizeable sum of m oney from a distant relative. and the poverty with which she has al- ways had to struggle is at an end.
 We all said what a good girl she had always been and how glad we were for her, and then suddenly one, frank CT than the rest, spoke out, Its a queer thing-but Pm going to confess it. l never liked Amy. I always felt l ought to, but I didn't"
 We looked at her with startled eyes and then we looked at each other. And then from each of us. it came
 You don't mean it! Why that's just the way I've always felt. Only I never dared say so before"
 "NIy dear, it's simply uncanny! I've been so ashamed of myself because l couldn't like her.
 Isn't it the queerest thing? l ad- rnire her for being so good, but she always exasperated me"
 Was It Because She Was So Good She
 Shamed Others?
 "Nhat do you think the reason is?" said the analytical one of the group. 'Is it because she's so good that she makes us ashamed because we aren't better, and so we don't like herr"
 No" said another woman. Don't you know how we all loved Florence, and she was just as good"
 "Its a different kind of goodness, isn't it 2" said someone.

BILLIE BURKE IN
 PEGGY" AT FOX'S

Today ushers in at the local Fox ton, Billie Burke In Peggy Billie Burke captured the critics in Peggy" her first film play. The newspaper oe New York accorded the young star q reception that eQualled if it did not surpass any that ever greeted her appearance in a real new flesh and blood role. The expert reviewers Of the trade press also hailed her de- sertion of the legitimate for the screen drama as a distinct advance of the new art. The box office story has been the same wherever Peggy" has been shown always capacity au- diences. The comment of one of the leading newspapers said: Billie Burke is a born screen actress. She was probably a tomboy earlier in life Back of her fascinating vivacity arc the high spirits of sound health-she is a fountain of natural energy and seemingly eXhaustless vigor. Every movement, however nicely balanced by training springs from the natural impulse of woman to whom mere existence is pleasure. The titan haired actress romps through an un- uSldilN plttuic WILL nit the camera knowledge and assurance of a screen veteran. The interpo- lated fairy story is really one of the most delightful parts of the produc- ton. It abounds in beautiful photo graphy, with Miss Burke in her most oeguiling aspect, tripping lightly through bizarre scenes. her famous hair radiant even in it's screen re- ;y,o of oir1i SN grace and beauty.
 In addition to Billie Burke in Peggy" the latest chapter of ''The Iron Claw in which Pearl White, Creighton Hale and Sheldon Lewis are featured will also be shown as well as several single reel comedies of sterling calibre, framing an even ing or afternoons entertainment ot absolutely high class nature.
 Miss Burke will be seen this even ing at 7:15 D. m and 9:30 D. m.

 The company is well balanced in every respect the singing being very well done the chorus which is cem- posed of a bevy of pretty girls, ade quately costumed, gives the perform ances plenty of pep" throughout.
 Dainty Alma Fleming handles the soubrette part in a pleasing manner. Helen Van Buren the prima donna possesses a rich soprano which is heard to advantage in the rendition of My Mothers Rosary" The Adair trio, Walter Morrison and Dolly Nor rlsey are also contributors of special ties which show much merit

Why She Wasn't Loved

was because she was too poor, and smiled that saintly smile of ners."
 Don't you think she thought the rest of us were selfish?"
 She Knew That She Was Good.
 NO" said the analytical one again; II wouldn't go so far as to be sure of that. But she did think she was good. It was just that, that sne was self consciously good, and I don't believe that kind of goodness ever made peo- pie loVed.'
 So we left it.
 And so, I believe, it is. We often wonder why someone who is very good isn't more generally loved. And we talk about other peoples selfish ness and ingratitude. May it not be partly due to the quality of the good ness?
 Nobody Loves SeIf-Conscious Goodness
 Pious people, in the invidious sense of the word, are people who are self cons cious good. ITO live with the saints in Heaven
 Is untold bliss and glory;
 But to live with the saints on earth
 Is quite another story"
 So wrote a clever rhymester with more truth than poetry. And the difference is that the saints in Heav- eu are those who got there by being unself- good on earth. while the saints on earth" refers to' the people who wear their saintliness in much the same spirit as they would wear a gown that was richer and finer than their neighbor's gown.
 There is a snobbery of saintliness, you know, just as there is a snobberX of intellect or wealth or family.
 Simple, unconscious goodness is one of the greatest powers in the word. IL can remove mountains of evil by the mere beautiful fact of it's existence, while self-conscious goodness is utter- Iv futile and impotent,, so for as in- fluencing or helping others. It is more apt to antagonize and irritate. x

SLJTLE:R
Shows His Cunning by Resist.
ing All Efforts to Cut Down
His Great Profits.

PARIS, Oct. 21.-The French "sut.
Ter" has shown his cunning by thus
far resisting all efforts Of the com.
missary department OF the army ia
cut down the enormous profits he
makes out OF the soldiers in tho zone
OF the armies. Clmembert cheese, a
favorlte supplement with the men near
the front, and which Is dear enough In
Paris, brings from three to four times
what 1t really ought TO sell for at the
repose stations. Other luxuries bring
proportionate prices In spite OF the
itinerant bazaars organized by the
commissary department. The motor
peddling cars are not swift enough
to get the better Of tho "sutler."
The ecommissary department is now
trying another remedy. Two immense
general stores have been established
at important distributing points behind
the front With n view to furnishing
more promptly everything the soldiers
need, In addition to the regular ra-
lions. Each store Is sufficient to sup
ply 100000 men and the provisions
supplied from them may be more read
lily carried to the men than by the mo-
tor-bazaar method, which required
more cars than could be spared.
Each OF these general stores em-
ploys 5000 men and so officers. 9th
er stores Will be established If II is
found necessary.
