 Mabel Russel and Marty Ward are 1 lightning flashes, and their plays are ' always home runs. With an admir- ] able company they are producing with new music and book mixture of ev- ;erything known on sthe vaudeville stage entitled Call It What You Like It."
 z Orrin Johnson has never been cast to better advantage than in "The Light at Dusk" This picture. in seven reels, deals with the misuse of power and money.
 Charlie Chaplin needs no pen to { spread his fame. In his newest of fering "One A. M" he is, said to ex- eel. having originated much new com edy and antics.
 Frank Bush is at Polls for Monday. Tuesday and wednesday. His mono logues are well known to vaudeville followers and students.

AN INCREDIBLE THING.
A Husband Caught Flirting With HI
 Wife and tho Police Called.

Excessive gallantness on the part of a. Danbury business man came very near getting him into trouble at Main and White Streets when he sought to protect two young women from two men whom he thought were trying to force their attentions upon them. The business man in question was stand ing on the street corner, while the young woman had just walked by, turning into White street. The young men were crossing White street, with the apparent intention of catching up with the young women. ss' K
 "Oh, you!" is the opening remark one of the men is said to have ad- dressed to the young women.
 The latter smiled, but Continued to stroll along White Street.
 q say there!', was the second wire less one of the young men are said to have sent to the young women.
 The business man intently watched the whole proceeding and the desire to protect the young women finally became so strong in his manly breast |sthat he could no longer restrain him. self
 Here, you fellows. cut that out, or I'll make you!" came the command from the business man to the sup posed mashers The former lowered head and shoulders over the latter and there seems to be little doubt that he would have been able to make good his threat.
 why. that's my wife." one of the men replied.
 "Ill bet you $100 she ain't and you cut out following those girls" the business man is said to have answer ed.
 The stalwart form of the business man offered an effectual blockade against the young men as they turned into White Street.
 After considering the situation the young men hunted up Policeman Streaman and laid the facts of the case before him. One of the young men succeeded in convincing the of- ficer that he was the husband of one of the young women and returned to the corner of White Street, where the business man remained.
 Officer Streaman and a crowd of in- terested listeners heard the stories of both the young men and the business man and everybody present enjoyed a laugh over the mix-up. There was no doubt that one of the young men was the husband of the young wo- man he was accused of trying to fiirt with.
 It appeared that the business man made his stand in attempting to pro- tect the young women on the broad ground that "a married man never fiirts with his own wife"
 When all explanations had been made the gallant business man and young men went into a thirst quench- ing establishment and they emerged the best of friends.
 "I'll look for wedding rings next time" the business man vas heard to remark.
 In the meanwhile the young wo- men continued their stroll down White Street

 TODAY'S POEM
THE wANDERER.

~ Oh, have wandered far and wide
 and sailed on every sea; On mountain-top and prairie trail the four winds called to me; followed to their ice-bound lakes
 and rivers flowing free.
 On golden nights in old Japan the
 moon above the trees Looked palely down on scarlet lan-
 terms swaying in the breeze And dancing girls whose tiny feet fell
 soft as lotus-leaves. By many on English hedgerow sweet by woodland green and brown, In Scottish glen and Irish vale I've
 seen the sun go down. And glimpsed the haunts of old TO-
 nance in castle, cot and town. By crumbling tombs of ancient Kings
 by cities of the dead, Through tropic forests where the
 flaming orchid lifts it's head, Ger deserts bare and mountains
 bleak my quest of beauty led. Now am come by devious ways back
 to this little street, I had forgotten that my lilacs looked
 and smelled so sweet, And how the dandelion's gold lay
 scattered at my feet! The robins in my maple-trees, pipe
 gaily as of yore; The gnarled old crape-juice twines
 its curling tendrils round the
 floor
 Here, where the checkered sunlight
 falls is beauty evermore! v Alice C.. Rose in Munsey's.

DENIES A.F.0 OF l..
SUPPORTS ANY SET
OF CANDIDATES

Pittsburgh, Oct. 29.-Denial that the
American Federation of Labor. is sup
porting any one set of candidates in
the present political campaign was
made in a speech here today by Frank
Morrison, secretary of the organiza-
ton.
"The chief deception practiced in
this campaign Is the charge that trade
union officials are trying to deliver the
votes of the mebership to one candi-
date or set of candidates" said Secre-
tary Morrison, land always such
charges, oddly, contain the intimation
! that another and different set of candi-
dates should be favored.
Lest there be misunderstanding of
the position of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. let it be stated that the
Federation is supporting in this cam
paign Republican. Democratic and So
. cialist candidates for Office where these
candidates have declared in favor of
legislation for the amelioration of con-
ditions Of the wage workers of the
country"

each above the average in beauty and
dress, runaways from comfortable
homes in Rockland. Me-, were stopped
at the North Station Friday night as
they alighted from the 800 train.
Ethel M. Clark. II. Of 80 Oliver street.
and Isabel Smith, Is, of AZ Brewster
street, are the young women. They
were put in charge Of the matron of
the Chardon Street Home and will be
turned over TO their parents. The To-
cal police were warned by telegraph
from Rockland to keep lookout for the
runaways.
Dissatisfaction with home conditions
was the reason advanced for their ex-
plot when they were questioned by
Lieut.. Rooney of the Hanover street
station. Miss Smith told the lieuten-
ant she and her chum intended to find
local friends and secure work.
