There's a ship floats past with sway
ing lurch.
No sails, no crew, no spar;
And she drifts from the paths OF her
sister ships
To the place where the dead ships are,
The song of her crew is hushed for eye
Her name no man can say;
She is ruled by tide and whatever
wind blows
And no one knows
Where the derelict goes.
There a man sinks past with lurch-
ing gait,
No Joy, no hope, no star;
And he drifts from the paths OF his
brother men
To wherever the other wrecks are.
The song Of his youth Is hushed for
aye
His name but he can say:
He is ruled by the tide and whatever
wind blows
And no one knows
Where the derelict goes.

REALISM NO JOKE
SAYS TOM BROOKE

There is little real pleasure in
playing the part of humble
wood-cutter in the films. This
may be taken on the word of Tom
Brooke, of "a Child of the Wild, :
William Fox's latest June Ca
price picture play.
Tom is Miss June's screen
father. Being simple noun
'taineer he has little to do but
smoke his pipe and chop wood.
Smoking is enjoyable even when
done before the camera; but
chopping wood
There are half dozen scenes
in "a Child of the Wild" j.!
which Tom is shown splitting iT
a newly felled tree. Eae[t Of
these trees had to be cut and 4
was, poor Tom Brooke who3 hac
to cut them.
News of Toms activities soon
spread through the Tennessee
mountains where the picture was
being taken. Bands of .moun-
taineers lined up daily behind the
camera while Tom chopped ant
split trees. After the scenes
we're finished the monntaineers
gathered up the wood and hurried
off to their cabins. n s
Tom estimates he supplied TIN
winter fire wood for all TN
Imountaineers in Tennessee.
