Mary Pickford In the Famous Players Film
Co.'S screen adaptatiou of John Luther Longs
immortal classic, Madame Butterfly" The
screen version OF this famous love tale, cele-
brated In opera, novel and play, has pre-
served and enhanced all the poetic beauty
and tenderness Of the original.
As the forsaken Cho-Cho-San, the little
maid Of the Fiowery Kingdom, patiently
waiting through the long mouths for the re-
turn Of her faithless American husband,
Mary Pickford presents an innocent, con6d-
ing, pathetic figure, who proceeds through
her many SORROWS with unconquerable cour-
age and endurance.
Only an actress OF Miss Pickford's remark

GET RID OF HUM0RS
AND AVOID SICKNESS

Humors in the blood cause inter-
nal arrangements that affect the
whole system, as well as pimples,
boils and other eruptions, and are
responsible for the readiness with
which many people contract disease.
For forty years Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla has been more successful than
any other medicine in expelling
humors and removing their inward
and outward effects. Get Hood IS.
No other medicine acts like it.

Muir Could Drive a Bargain.

Muir Could Drive a Bargain.
Most people know that the famous
naturalist and writer, John Muir, left
! substantial fortune behind him when
ae died, but few perhaps are aware
that during the ten years he dedicated
altogether to business he was known
as the hardest man at a bargain in the
whole Of California. "As a bargainer,"
writes Arno Dosch, "John Muir was
pure Scotch. Muir had the biggest and
most dependable supply of Tokay
grapes in California. The San Fran
cisco jobbers bought his yield to meet
their regular shipments to the north
and east. There were at that time
four big fruit jobbing houses in San
Francisco, and they tell tales yet In
Commission row of the bargains John
Muir drove with them. He was never
known to name a price first. Whether
he was selling grapes or land, he tried
first to find out what the other man
was willing to pay. But he always
had price in mind, and he got 1t. It
made no difference what was the mar
ket price Of grapes. He made the Job
bers pay what he expected"

Escapes In War.

Until war ceases, which will be the
greatest miracle of all, it will always
be the exhibition ground Of miracles.
How can a bullet puncture mans
coat behind and before or pierce his
boot and sock and be gravely shaken
out OF both without wounding him?
And what mysterious channel does this
human body contain which leads a
bullet dexterously around the heart, a
hairs breadth from the seat of life, vet
never rending it-a phenomenon vouch-
ed for by more than one army surgeon? :?
Shells have burst thunderously between
the very legs of soldiers and left them
still soldiers. Shells of two inches in
diameter have passed through legs
and arms without shattering the bone
or bursting at the impact, although
there appears to be literally no room
for such a merciful performance. In
fact, a history of the escapes in war
would be wild reading even after a
course Of Neutrality-suspicious.

attention to the fact that Mr.. Lincoln

General Augur, when in command OF

spy whom he regarded as peculiarly
obnoxious specimen Of his tribe. There
was no question of guilt. and quick
work was made Of court martial and
conviction. The spy was to be hang.

absent from the city, and Charles A.
Dana was left in charge. He promptly
signed the papers, and Augur and he
congratulated each other that this one
spy would trouble the Union cause no
more. The next morning Dana met
Augur and asked about the execution
In disgusted manner the general said
there had been no execution.
Lincoln had reached home at mid

rhe Return of the Southern Flao,,

rhe Return of the Southern Flags.
When it was first proposed to return
to the southern states the Confederate
flags which had been captured in the
battles of the civil war the proposition
met with storm of protest. In 1905 the
flags were returned, Massachusetts be-
ing the first to act, though it had been
loudest in denunciation when the pro-
posal was advocated by Sumner.
In the following year the command.
er in chief of the G. A. R., James Tan
ner, asked in his Memorial day order
that the graves of the soldiers Of both
armies should be decorated without
discrimination, saying, '"The old flag
has been rebaptized since 1865 with
the blood of the north and the south
alike, and the ship Of state Is securely
anchored for all time."

The sea currents which flow along
both coasts of Japan consist of a
warmer current coming from the south
and a colder one from the north. The
former is the Kuroshio, or Black cur
rent, which takes its rise near the
equator, being produced by the Pacific
trade wind. It is so called from its
color. which is deep indigo in fine
weather, though ashy pale on cloudy
days. The colder currents are the
Oyashio and the Okhotsk, the former

sists that you positively must wear
your rubbers when you go out:
First-Tell her you positively will
not do It. This will produce in her an
attitude Of resignation, and she will
almost forgive you for not wearing
them for giving her a chance to act
the role of martyr.
Second-Say that you never wore
rubbers before you were married. She
will then tell you that you were al
ways sick, too, and will work herself
into a jovial glow by thinking what
good care she is taking of you.
Third.-Wear the rubbers to keeI
