CONFIDENTIAL TALE
OF THE FIRST PRINT

One day when Asurbanipal obtained
an inspiration, he found he could not
spread all his thoughts for publication.
This made him grieve with all his
might through many a long Assyrian
night.
lie offered prizes far and wide
through all his jurisdiction for any
scheme that might provide way to
spread his fiction. The writing bug was
in his bean and you all know what that
should mean.
The advertising did not pull. Not one
of all the soges could raise a thought
beneath his wool for making printed
pages Though they could read the
stars on sight, this was a task beyond
their might.
It gave the kin0 roval pip n oot
upon his liver. To save his health he
took trip along the Tigris river. He
stepned into some mud one day and saw
his footurint in the clay.
His Majesty stood still and spied his
masterpiece pictorial. eff ! can print
nv foot,' he cried, "why not an edi-
torialsn That moment his Assyrian
mob invented the first printing job.
He had no linotype nor Hoe to do
things in hurry; but while this made
his business slow, it also saved some
worry He never had to tax his brains
to catch the early morning trains.
There was no speaking tube to yell,
demanding early matter. He waited
for his thoughts TO jell and did not let
them scatter. Once in a while he wrote
stick and had it moulded in brick.

fed all ravage No vandal could tear
pages out to wrap up fish or cabbage.
And though a book remained unread,
It still might get into ones head

TOMORROW NIGHTS
FEATURE AT THE NIXON

The story of brilliant but dissipated
lawyer who becomes the worshipped
member of a South Sea Islannd tribe is
told in "Aloha Oe.D Willard Mack IS
the lawyer and Enid Markey is the
ehieftain s daughter, whom he marries.
It begins with the turmoil of a. great
trial The lawyer, crazed by drink and
the strain of his labors, is shipped by
his friends on a sailing vessel so that
he may recover his manhood in a new
environment. The vessel is wrecked
and he is the only survivor, being res
cued by the natives on South Sea
Island A month later he is shown as
worthless drunkard, who knocks down
native and takes away bottle of
liquor. He escapes to the mountains,
where he crawls through cave to the
other side. He is awakened from sleep
by falling ashes from a volcano, and
while making his escape comes across
Enid Markey, the chieftain s daughter.
She has been tied to post, where the
flowing lava will destroy her, because
the natives believe that by this sacri-
flee they will appease the wrath of the
divinity of the mountain. Mack takes
the fainting girl to place of safety
and on her recovery she falls down be-
fore him, as she thinks he is the son of
the god of the mountain which is in
eruption. He soon tires of the idyll-like
life and returns to civilization. As he
is passing a restaurant he hears the
song of "Aloha Oeo sFarewell'')
and is so homesick for the life he had
left among the palms and flowers that
he ships back to the island. There his
return is hailed with joy by the simple
daughter of the chieftain and the wor-
shipping members of the tribe.

Ilage street, with the appropriate hotel,
infested with gossips and loungers.
Roscoe Arbuckle, the village fat boy, Is
winning the affections of Flora Zabelle,
a village belle, when Raymond Hitch
cock, travelling trickster, appears on
the scene. They all sit down to the ia
BILE, where Hitchcock attempts to show
Al st. John the superior elegance or
eating beans with fork instead of a
knife. Hitchcock spills the beans over
his waistcoat, to. the amusement of the
guests, but he gets their admiration by
extracting an egg from the landlady s
ear. Hitchcock wins the girls away from
Fatty and takes her upstairs to the par
lor. There Miss Zabelle plays the in
strument while Hitchcock sings. After
indulging in tears for while, Arbuckie
gets a trombone and browns the music
of the couple by playing just outside
the window. This angers Hitchcock and
he throws Arbuckle off the piazza,
where he lands in the watering trough.
Arbuckle bobs up and down till he final
lv gets his feet. He sees Hitchcock and
Flora laughing at him and turns hose
on them. They all get wet and bedrag-
gled and forget about their budding ro-
nance.

the noted opera houses OF the earth'
II is also announced that other cele-
Irated capitols are soon to be invaded
bv the big reproduction-Vlenna ana
Ferlin among them.
Inst what sentiment those countries
will show in our reconstruction period
and its terrors (Which may be very like
their own soon), the workings of the
Kn Klux. etc, will be interesting to
pote. They are pretty well read up on
the Civil war over there; and on Lin
colin. Grant and Lee, almost as well as
we are. but whether the sentiments of
the immense story will find the same
response there is another question.
Of course "The Birth of a Nation
is purely Ameriean-but its lessons are
rs broad as humanity itself The won
derful realism of war, however, and
the amazement of it all, will take the
place of local color with them and very
iikeIy it will create as much European
newspaper talk as it has on this side
of the water.

boards at the Nixon opera house two

FORD PEACE PARTY
 CONTINUES EFFORTS
Appeals to Diplomatic Represent
 tatiVes in Swedish Capital

Stockholm, Sweden, April 20.The Ford peace party reduced now to a working basis, with delegates present from the six neutral countries of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland Switzerland and the United States, has recently been very active here and has enjoyed the official recogni- tion of having been received by the foreign ministers of the three Scan dinaVian countries To each of these were presented appeals addressed in diplomatic French to the kings and the parliaments. asking that the ncU- tral governments organize an official neutral conference to offer it's ser vices in bringing about peace. The Ford party is now known as an 'un- official peace conference of neutral natiOnS.
 The peace representatives were graciously received here, at Copenha- gen and at Christiania. NO definite hope for consideration was held out to them. however. for the ministers declared their countries could only act when requested to do so by the belligerentS.
 The same appeal, addressed to the president and to the ''parliament'' of the United States. also was offered to the American Minister here, Ira Nel son Morris MT. Morris held. how ever, that it did not come within his diplomatic province to accept appeals directed to the president and congress, so he advised his visitors to present the matter direct to Washington.
 The Ford Appeal.
 The Ford appeal, which is to be
 ,1,. 1on Hague, says in part:
 Has not the moment come to act? If, by an oppOrtune step, an interven- ton of neutraIs. the war could be shortened by a day by a single day which destroys thousands of lives, ought not the step to be taken, no matter how difficult. how hopeless it appears?
 "IIistory will severely judge the neutral countries if they remain mere spectators of the terrible conf1agra- tion of 1907. Article II of the agree and the belligerents themselves have submitted their cause to the judg- ment of tho neutral nations. They have spread over every country their White Books and Blue Books, and Books red and yellow. They have made their appeal to the conscience of the world. .
 "The neutral conference is acting in the spirit of The Hague Conven- ton of 1907. Article Il of the agree ment then reached distinctly pro videS:
 "'The Powers hold that it is de- sirable that one more neutral Powers should upon their own initial tive, when they judge the circum- stances propitous, offer their ser vices as mediators to the belligerent states. The exercise of this right will never be considered by one or the other of the belligerents an unfriend- ly act.

WHAT NERVOUS
 PEOPLE NEED
WONDERFULLY SPEEDY NEW FOUND RELIEF FOR TIRED, WORN OUT. SHATTERED, INSPIRING NERVOUS
 SYSTEMS.

1t is simply marvellous the speedy relief that a single MargO Tablet will give any man or woman whose nerves are upset, unStrung or dulled, tired and ambitionless. Every tablet seems to go straight to the nerve cells, over- coming in just few moments fatigue, despondency, jumps" fidgets," ner- vous indigestion and all those other symptoms of rundown nerve force that are so surely the forerunners of ner- Vous prostration and general nervous breakdown.
 Margo Vitalzes your tired, over worked nerves into nerves of steel, charging them With powers of tre- mendous endurance and reserve ener- gy and does it without a single dan- gerous drug. Margo is a scientific ombination of six of the most power full and effective, yet absolutely harm less, nerve stimulantS known to chem istry and a months systematic use should completely transform the worst nervous wreck into strong, healthy. vigorous man or woman.
 Margo really does more good in the average case of 'nerves'' than a months vacation because it not only rests the nerves but puts rev snap and "ginger" and courage into your entire body.
 Margo must accomplish these things or it's cost is nothing. The Clark t1 Brainerd Co.,, and other leading drug gists in New, Britain sell it with this absolute guarantee, positi"ely agree ing to refund the price paid to any patron who fails to derive great bene- fit from 50 days faithful use.
