OVER THERE

By Hugh G. Barclay. Our birds are singing in the trees, Our sweet flowers perfume every
 breeze, Our ships sail proudly all the seas: There rings a note of gladness every
 where! Our harvests ripen in the sun, Our hills echo the sunset gun, No sable robe waits to be spun; But sable robes are weaving-over
 there! Oh, listen to the solemn dirge That mingles With the waves wild
 surge, That in one rushing tempest merge Of woe storm, hope-less-ness and fell
 despair Alas, we hear our songbirds sing, And smile to see each beauteous thing, That promises us some joy to bring, Forgetting all life's horrors-over
 there!

"THE FEMALE oF THE- SPEECHES."

THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES
 Dorothy Dalton will be at the Triangle tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday in 'The Female of the Species,' and of this picture a writer has this to say.
 In writing the Female of the Species" the author. Russell E. Smith, has gone deeper than a character contrast, as shown by two women, one keeping safely within the bounds of social usage the other daring to step over the line in obedience to the powerful natural dictates of her heart.
 Dorothy Dalton is superb as a woman of strong natural impulses, neither vain nor immoral, but permitted certain free dom of action as an artist of so-called Bohemian tendencies. She enjoys a masculine liberty of action and permits her love for a man of wealth and social standing to completely dominate her con- duct
 It is encouraging to see these original stories on the screen, for the time is not far away when they will be the only ones worth reviewing.

 WALTHALL ON CHILDHOOD'S LOVE Is the adults love as pure as that of the child?
 Henry B. Walthall was asked this ques- tion during a discussion of Little Shoes, his current Essanay feature. He replied:
 T do not believe it is.
 sIt has been said,' the noted actor re- marked, that love develops with wis., dom. Other psychologists have claimed, to the contrary, that love deteriorates with wisdom.
 Unfortunately as it may seem, it is nevertheless true that some wisdom is more or less tainted by the grosser in- stitutions of the world In the weaknesses of wise men lies the history of the world. To apply the specific case under discus sion, we must let wisdom be personified in the adult. Is it not true, then, that his love is very often flaw stricken Surely the divorce court figures would prove it so.
 mBut the child-who ever heard of a little child divorcing it's love for it's parents? I am speaking of the child which has not yet ventured from beneath the parental wing. There the love is of the purest ray serene complete trust ab- solute sincerity and the undivided heart are put into the childs affection. There is no blemish which can be traced to worldly wisdom. It is an instinctive love that asks no reason; has . no motive. That, in my opinion, is the purest love which humanity can produce"
