ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Grand.

Victor Moore, who made such hit
in his "Chimmie Fadden" pictures,
win be seen at the Grand tonight in
his greatest photoplay, THE Clown.
For the presentation of THE Clown,
the Jesse L. Lasky company rented
an entire circus for three days. This
travelling organization happened to
be playing near the Lasky studio at
the time the picture was being pro-
duced and was promptly secured with
all it's performers and equipment. To
secure the audience, the Lasky COM
pany merely announced In the daily
papers that the citizens of Los An
eeles were invited to be their guests
at the performance. and hundreds
were turned away. Victor Moore
played the role Of the principal
clown, but his main support was
made up of the regular artists OF the
circus. Little Billy Jacobs, Gerald
Ward and Tom Forman are also in
cluded in the cast.
Tomorrow and Monday the cele-
brated actor H. B. Warner, will be
seen in Fine Art photopiay, Ine
Beegar of Cawnpore," and Chester
Conklin in "Bucking Society,"" Key

EXPERIENCE.


Bv MRS. WILLIAM STARKE 4
learn as the years roll onward
And leave the past behind
That much I have counted sorrow
But proves our God is kind; 4
That many a flower I longed for
Had a hidden thorn Of pain,
And many a rugged bypath
Led 10 fields Of ripened grain.
The clouds but cover the sunshine,
They cannot Danish the sun.
And tho earth shines OUT the brighter
When the weary rain is done.
We must stand in the deepest sorrow
To see the clearest light,
Ard often from wrongs own darkness
Comes the very strength Of right.
we must live through the weary
winter
II we could but value the spring.
And the woods must be cold and ST.
lent
Before the robins sing.
The flowers must be buried in dark
Before they could bud and bloom,
And the sweetest and warmest sun
Comes after the storm and, gloom.
So the heart from the hardest trial
Gains the purest Joy of all,
Ard from the lips that have tasted
sadness
The sweetest songs win fall.
For as peace comes after suffering,
And love Is reward of pain,
SO after earth comes Heaven
And out Of our loss the gain.

MANY USES FoR RAGS.

the uses for rags are numerous be-
sides the o1dtime rag carpets, which
are by no means to be despised, and
the knitted and braided rugs, that
wear so much better t11an any others
and use up pieces of old wooden dress
es, coats ana pants, to such good ad-
vantage.
I have sometimes dyed cotton goods.
with bright colors and mixed them in
with the dark woods, but the result
was not satisfactory as they fade too
soon; but if white or light gray wool
goods are dyed a bright color they
viii last as long as the rug will. Scar
let is a specially good color to brighten
UP a rug.
The good pieces of old silk dresses,
handker1tliefs and ribbons, will per-
haps answer to trim something eIse;
or if you are not interested IN silk
patchwork yourself, some friend or
shut-in may be very glad TO get them,
and the same rule applies to velvet,
which can be steamed and made to
look good as new if not too badly
crumpled.
White AMI light tinted silk can also
be colored with the package dyes made
specially for silk.
The best pisces of old linen table
cloths can be made into runners to
put under the plates and save new
table linen, or quilted together in two
under hot dishes.
Save all the old soft pieces Of linen
tableclOths, napkins, towels and hand
kerchiefs, for use in dressing wounds,
and sores, in an emergency, where a
doctor and antiseptic bandages are
not always at hand; and cotton is
sometimes poisonous to raw hesh.
Woven or knit underwear makes
excellent busters, scrubbing cloths
and mops.
Black stocking legs cut open make
good dry mops, and pieces quilted to-
gether to the desired thickness also
make good holders to use around the
kitchen range.
Cut or tear out all the good pieces
of cast of cotton undergarments, pill
low slips and sheets, and lay away
they are sure to come in handy fol
something, either for mendiug other
things, polishing windows and lan1I
| globes, or in case of severe colds and
some other diseases to use in place
| of handkerchief, for they can be i'm
mediately burned and save much
washing and risk Of contagion.
once read that the gifts to a bride
| should include a bundle of old cloths
of various kinds as she would meek
i them for so many things when goine

being new; and it seems a very sen.
sible idea, although probably some
! young brides would reject the ides
with scorn, but wait till they keel
