Critic SHES.

Theodore Dresser, the novelist, was
talking about the public's literary
taste.
"The public" he said, ''likes trash.
Put good stuff before it and it SHES
like the critic at the Players
"a poet smiled affectionately on this
critic, thrust a ten-cent cigar in his
hand and said:
"'Let me show you the proofs of my
new volume of poems.'
"'No, no. said the critic, rising has
tily and grabbing up his hat. NO, no.
I don't need proof. Your word is suf-
ficient.'
"And he rushed off without finishing
the two inches of beer that still re-
NAMED in his glass"

A Pittsfield (Mass.) mother tsfd her

Where He'd Been.

A battered-looking man came around
to the back door and asked for some
thing to eat.
"My dear man," said the woman of
the house, "you are in such a terrible
state that you must have just come
back from the front"
Fright, lady. And there was very

Of attention when in the hands of a
gave his or her pony food and water,
brushing and combing; also considera-
ton as to weight of burden, distance
to travel, conditions Of road and
weather. Undoubtedly a pony is a
great educator for a young person.
One authority states that the proper
way to select q pony for small child
is to get one from six to eighteen
months of age and let it grow up with
it's master or mistress. At the latter
age it may be broken to the saddle
and ridden by a child of light weight.
When only a year old it may be driven
moderately to cart or buggy. A
pony is easily broken to harness, the
process can be shared in by the child.
The Shetland may be broken by be-
ing played with, by the children jump
ing on it's back, by their hitching it to
a sled or cart. DR.. S. B. Eliot of the
Belle Meade farm, Markham, Va,
says: eff young pony is given to
little child, they will grow up to-
gether and become the best of friends,
each acquiring confidence to the ex-
tent that the breaking to saddle and
harness is hardly noticed by either"
In it's native land, the pony is
known as 'The Sheltie." At the age
Of two 1.-THE Sheltie" is considered
grown-up, but this early maturity does
not mean early decay, for Shetland
not only has much endurance, but, too,
is noted for it's length of days, living
to be 30 and 40 years old.
A colt ready to leave it's mother can
be purchased for from $50 to $50.

the continual commingling Of these is
less effective than if by gradual ac-
emulation the characters of a few
families are centered in the bull.
Masculinity, with which is associat-
ed sexual vigor and general health, is
quality quickly recognized, but diff
cult to define.

WAR PICTURES AT
FOX'S TEiEATER TODAY

The Battles of a Nation" the wide
ly heralded war picture will be seen
in this city at FOX's tomorrow offer
ed IN addition to the regular house
program, which means two big fe:l-
lures at the same prevailing prices.
FOR the first time in all history the
actual COMMANDMENT of a city is de-
plcted on the screen. The interior Of
an Austrian observation post during
the smelling of the outer forts of
Warsaw, telephone outpost near
the enemy'S trenches, the firing Of
the Dig Austrian 5 en-. Swoda Nor
tars, the answering fire of the Rus
sian guns a few miles away. and fin
ally the complete destruction of the
mighty fortress. which was. thought
to be impregnable, but which crumDi-.
ed like paper before the deadly work
of the Austrian artillery. These and
other scenes are picturized in a vi
wildly realistic manner.
Those who advocate preparedness
for war will find much to interest
them in this authentic war picture
taken at the seat Of action by Alfred
X. Dawson, the war correspondent of
The American Correspondent Film Co.
The program which will be shown
for the last time tonight is a most
delightful and entertaining one.
Weber and Fields, the worlds
greatest funmakers of the speaking
stage have brought their funny an
tics and mannerisms to the screer,s
and inject great humor and fun in
their offerings. Today's comedy is
THE Worst OF Friends three-reel
keystone comedy that is built Cor
laughing purposes only. and which
furnishes forty-five minutes of hearty
laughter. Helen Ware and an all
star support of Griffith principals is
seen in Gross Currents a five act
drama dealing with q domesti prob
lem of more than passing worth. Sew
eral single reels OF careful selection,
exceptional short stories and pleasing
action are also on the same program
which adds much towards splendid
holiday offering.
