Latitude and Longitude

The solid pyramid will sink
Beneath the shifting desert sands;
The lighthouse crumbles to the wave,
Nor fury of the storm withstands.
So all mans beacons and his guides
Suecumbed to Time, the tyrant rude,
Till came the Greek who bound the earth
With Latitude and Longitude.
Against those lines intangible
The billow vainly hurles its strength;
No heaping OF the hurricane
Can blot from sight the breadth and
length.
So while the endless ages wear.
We ever realize anew
That only the Unseen endures.
And only the Unreal is true.

"Diana the Huntress" and Dorothy
Gish in Gretchen the Greenhorn."
In reference to "Diana the Hunt

in connection with "Gretchen the
Greenhorn," the feature presents a
number of classic dancers. Playing up
Baroness DEWITT as ssValkyrien,"
since that is the name under which
she has danced, and Paul Swan, who
was proclaimed "the most beautiful
man in the world" at least, that is

money to send for his daughter.

bundles, baskets and live duck on
the end of a string, Gretchen arrives,
to the joy of her parent and all the
jewellers in the humble tenement
where he lives. A poor widows brood
of six attach themselves promptly to
tie kind-hearted Dutch girl and her
father, and Pietro, a young Italian
musician, falls in love with her.
There enters into the plot man
who lives on mysterious ship in the
harbor, who induces Van Houek to
make engravings of a United States
note. This the old man does, believ-
ing that he will get position in the
mint. The gang on the ship makes
counterfeit money from the plate and
Gretchen is inveigled into passing il
off.
Van Houck's discovery of the dupe
and the attempt at suppression of the
gang, leads up to fitting climax
when Pietro assists in clearing ur
the whole.
Gretchen is supported by Ralph
Lewis as Jan. and Frank Bennett as
I Pietro. There are six of the kiddies
and they play big part in the
picture. Eugene Palette is the
villain.

WHY DIFF ICULT
SURGICAL WORK

Bert. C. Duval who a week ago sus-
tanned an extremely painful and serious
fracture of bones in his leg in two
places, is at the Pensacola Hospital.
and a very difficult surgical operation
was performed upon him yesterday, DIR.
Clarence Hutchinson being the surgeon
in charge.
Bones in Mr.. Duvals leg were shat
tered when an overturned boat caught
and jammed him during the storm of last
Wednesday. One bone was broken, it
was reported, and the shin bone was
crushed in. The broken parts of that
bone have been extracted, it was stated,
and in place of the bone a steel plate
has been inserted. Thus far, il is re-
ported, Mr. Duval has suffered no ILL.,
effects of the foreign object in his leg,
and friends and relatives last night held
out the hope that he would soon be re-
turned to his home, in Baskerville. He
was reported resting easy last night.
