CHARLES H. MURRAY
"A GAME OLD KNIGHT"

"I'd rather be lens squirrel in
the creeping pastels than king Of
Mexico. Me for the trea,bling tin
types all the time." says Charles
II. Murray, who has been on the
stage since he was ten years old and
is now working with Mack Sennet's
company Of funmakers and practi-
cal jokers. It is that spirit of love
for the motion picture art that makes
Murray's work in "a Game Old
Knight" to be seen next Tuesday
at the Opera House, such rare
creation, resembling in it's origina-
lity the burlesques that delighted our
forefathers.
Murray and his keystone asso-
ciates in the farce feature of the
Triangle program at the Opera
House have succeeded in extracting
every last laugh out of the story Of
IL wandering knight who seeks to
wed the young and pretty princess
when King Mike XIII, and his elder
and ugly daughter desire him for
her consort. Torture chambers to
bring the knight to terms are hand
led III such a way as to rouse the
rlsibles of an audience. The knight
finally shows that he is game by
marrying the ugly princess after she
has saved his life in the old mill
chamber Of the torture headquar-
ters.
The star, Murray, has been on
Broadway in vaudeville-where he
was a member Of the successful Seam
Of funmaker@ Murray & Mack

DAYLIGHT STEAMER SERVICE

The Admiral Line was the only Transportation Co.,, last year that tried to arrange their schedules so that thir steamers would arrive in yetchikan during the course of reg ular business hours. After giving it try-outt hey found that they could only do it by putting three steamers on the run and sailing one of them from Seattle every Sun day morning. They arranged to do that when the loss of the Ad miral Sampson prevented it. They now announce that commencing with March 9th, they will inaugurate heir 21 day schedule to the Vest ward with the steamers Admiral Evans, Watson, and Farragut, one of them sailing every Sunday morn ing from Seattle. Such a serv- ice should receive substantial recog- nition from every resident of Ret. chikan.

THROUGH WAMAN'S GLESSES
{ By Aunt Mary in P.-I.)

Dy Aunt hdfy III 1.-I.J
 found my newly-wed neighbor sitting helplessly in her tiny appart- ment the picture of distress. In her hand was a Japanese teapot, as de- licate and dainty as the owner. Her brown eyes were clouded and her lips trembled.
 "What am I to do, she cried, "the water won't run"
 "We're all in the same boat" I replied, land being in boat with out water is a predicament, isn't it?
 "How can yop joke about such . hor1id aituation?" she fired ur. q think waoever is to blmae for it ough; Co oe punished and well pun ished teo'

DEAD GOVERN LIVING

That was a brilliant observation ofComptes, to wit, that the the living are governed by the dead, and it is literally true in so far as influences tend to perpetuate themselves as entities reacting on individual consciousness. But a philosopher would pause here for an explanation of consciousness, and we should be obliged humbly to con- fess that we do not know, for to know consciousness would be to know substance, and up to date no one in the history of philosophy has succeeded in elucidating the matter.
 From Thales to Bergson philoso- phers have speculated to but small purpose in rendering ineligible mans spiritual essence or soul, and yet pr. Rooler apparently has solv- ed this perplexing problem for him self in his theory of the inter dependency of the mind and body.
 That the Doctor assums is tan tamount to asserting that mans moral and physical natures are both of them interdependent and that the mind is nothing apart from the flux and reflux of brain nerve ganglia and it's associations.
 If this be so it then follows that the summation of it's data must constitute will and therefore as such is not free, and if not free man is not a moral agent at all, or in other words is assumed to be similar to the product of friction ipnition

YPRES CREDIT CLAIMED
 FOR FRENCH COMMANDER
Widow Objects to Claim of
 English Marshal

PARIS,J Jan. 9-The widow of the late Gen. Moussy, of the French army has written from Brest to L'Eclair, saying that she "does not wish to let history be falsifed," and as her husband is no longer a live to vindcate his claims, she wishes to enter objection to the as- sumption of the title of viscount of Ypres by Field Marshal Si1 John French, on the ground that it was Gen. Moussy, who saved Ypres on November 6, 1914.
 The widow asserts the facts were that Gen. Moussy, commanding the Thirty-third brigade of French in- fantry, by the desperate resistance of his detachment sent to the re- lief ofthe British at Ypres and by his stoical claim and tenacious at- titude, treasured the British who regained confidence, thus arresting the German advance, and preventing the Germans from reaching Calais.
 Again, the generals widow says that it was on December at the head of little troops of about 250 men of all arms, got together in haste by Gen, Moussy's taff; that the general charged when the Ger mans attempt to pierce the line at Ypres by capturing Hill No. 60, between Sewartelen and Zillebeke, thus rending the march on Calais impossible.
 In further support of her claim in behalf of her late husband, the widow quotes letter to Gen. Moussy from Gen Haig, dated Jan uary, 2, 1915, thanking Gen Maus- sy for the conduct of his troops at Ypres and adding: "It was real ly a very critical moment, and it was only this touching camaraderie which assured the allies success"

reflection. None of us has much more than that, if you exclude the faculty of perception which gives Us our enjoyment of such marvels of nature. Scientists tell us that a dewdrop contains all the elements that go to make up the universe, as we'll as the form and shape of it.
 But aside from the pure beauty of water our dependence on 1t for life is startling when you are fore ed to think of 1t as my newly-wed friend was. If something should happen to our food supply we could make shift somehow for quite q
 ime without being utterly cast down. But when the water supply fails everything stops. Next to life it is the most important gift of the Creator. No wonder it has been the theme of poets and paint CTS since first the heart of man ut tered a rhapsody. How small and weak and utterly dependant govern ments, powers, municipalities, scien- tists and all the discovered utilities of the world appear when we are face to face with a lack of water which ''fails al ike on the just and the unjust". If l was ever deeply grateful to the Author of Being for his eternal goodness I was when I was able to supply my friend with a little tea kettle of water. And yet We often speak bitterly of the rain and snow.

LABOR PARTY UNDULY
 IGNORED BY OFFICERS

LONDON, Jan. 1-Rev. R. J. Campbell, the famous pastor of the City Temple, from which he re- gently resigned, has returned from a visit to the British troops in France with several good stories, among them the following:
 A deputation from the labor unions had accepted an invitation by the government to visit the front and see conditions for themselves. In expectation of its arrival, staff officers were sent to the wharf to greet the incoming channel boat from England.
 Are the members of the labor party aboard ?" called out an of ficer after the boat had been made fast.
 A man, obviously a workman, stepped out with a "yes." His com panions followed his lead. There we're SGNCA III lllC peR1ty VI WOAh men, who seemed rather overwhel- med at the cordiality of their re- ception, especially when they were put into motor cars with officers and handed cigars. On their arriv- al at headquarters they were intro duced to a courteous official. After a short chat with the men, who seemed a bit at a loss as to what to say, the official announced with a smile:
 "And now, gentlemen, I have in- structions to take you to the com- mander-in-chief."
 "Who's he?" blurted out one of the men.
 "Why, Sir John French, of course'' answered the astonished officer.
 Well," put in the man who seemed to be the leader of the par ty, q don't know why We want to see i'm. You see, me and my mates lave come over to mend the boom in the 'arbor."
