QUEER STORIES Of NEW RUSSIA

once found that his bright umbrella
red being the revolutions colOr-made
him parsonage. Women threw him
flowers. children were lifted up for
him to kiss. and he was at once made
president of the meeting.
When that was over he was conduct
ed in triumph To a banquet, and there.
too, he made an eloquent speech, hav-
ing discovered himself an orator with
out having ever suspected it. Finally
he was conducted to his home at a
late hour by several thousands of his
free if not enlightened fellOw-citizens.
From that day, after inscribing his
name on the revolutionary committee,
he has never gone out without his red
umbrella, always open.
For months every material. from silk
TT the eemmeHest cloth, cnlOred red,
has been sought for and made into
cockades. flags. steamers. etc. The
smallest fragment of red serves as an
excuse for manifestation. Here is a
story of a squad Of Russian soldiers.
pretty woman, a pet dog, and bow
knot of red ribbon.
The pretty woman was walking up
and down the platform of little sta
ton crowded with soldiers. The men,
whose opportunities of seeing a pretty
woman had been limited for many
month. gaZed in admiration and were
prepared to make a manifestation In
her honor. But suddenly their feelings
showed change and cries of discon-
tent began to be heard. A group of SOL
diers went up to the woman and Sc
verely upbraided her because bow of
red ribbon was fastened over the ear
of her Pomeranian dog. Such q use of
the symbol of revolution was shocking,
they said. as II showed a wish to ridi-
Guile the great movement. The soldiers
shouted, shrieked, and jumped about
excitedly, to the utter establishment of
the pretty woman and of the Pom.
But the woman eXtricated herself
from an embarrassing position with
the guile of a true daughter Of Eve.
She took the ribbon from her dogs
head and placed 1t in her own hair.
Once more the crowd changed its tone,
and 1t was amid enthusiastic cheering
that she, and the dog, took the train
little later.

Some soldiers whose bearing was
anything but martial, were taking up
too much room in a tramway to please
the female conductor, who rated them
vigorously with all the extraordinary
authOritativeness which women in Rus
STA always display toward men. You,
soldiers! Go on! You only have sol
diers' clothes. that's ALI"
''It's shame to treat poor wound

them.
'YOu wOundedY" retorted the con-
ductor. IF you are wounded II must

Logic Of Freedom.

Two soldiers had happened to speak
to a general and one had used the
term, 'your excellency," as was the
custom before the revolution. The
other soldier afterward rebuked his
companion for. such lapse from new
principles.
you said 'excellency'w
swell, Of course I said 'excellency.'"
"But don't you know that now you
mustn't say 'excellency?"
"And why mustn't We say 'excellency'
and mOre?"
"What? Why? Because We have
made the revolution. and now we are
all free"
The first soldier was silent for a
minutes, and then remarked:
But since we are all free, We are
free to say 'excellency' IL we like to-"
The other soldier. In turn. reflected
for a minute, and then declared:
"That's true, after all. The moment
we are free We can do what we like.
It's that. you see that's so difficult to
understand. But as that's really so, l
am going to say 'excellency' myself"
Then he added:
But. all the same, it won't be the
same thing as before"
LudOvic Nadeau has found time to
send to the Temps some anecdotes
about events in Petrograd after the
great revolution:

MRS. NICHOLSON
 RELEASED UPON
 HABEASCORPUS

Mrs. Elmo Nicholson was released from the county jail yesterday when Judge Lyman granted writ of habeas corpus in her case The writ was de- nied Mir Nicholson, who is alleged to have left Arkansas when indicted for grand larceny.
 Charged with being a fugitive from justice, Nicholson was arraigned be- fore Justice De Souza following the habeas corpus proceedings. His bond was fixed in the sum of s2,5OO which he had not furnished at a late hour last night. His preliminary examination was set for 10 o'clock Wednesday morning.
 When Judge Lyman held that there was no legal basis for the arrest of Mrs. Nicholson, the attractive prisoner who had quietly wept during arguments hurriedly dried her tears. With one hand on her husbands arm she eX tended the other to her attorney, r. c. Struckmeyer and with a charming inn pulsive movement stopped and kissed his hand as she thanked him in the pretty southern fashion.
 She was quickly surrounded by the friends who had stood behind her since she and her husband were taken into custody Tuesday evening in response to telegram from Arkansas which ordered them held on the charge oi defrauding banks.

Come Thru" at the Hip

If one tried to write a review of Come Thru the average press agent would run out of adjectives and ex- pletives before he had half started with this fastmoving crook play, by George Bronson Howard, the noted playright Come Thru is best de- scribed by "Zit" of the New York Journal, the most feared critic of the metropolis, when he said, Add thrill to thrill, spice it with adventure, mix well with generous portion of dar- ing and to this so much suspense that the end never seems to arrive and you have Come Thru" which opened last night at the Broadway theater. Come Thru made Herbert Rawlin- son in one night. From obscurity to fame in single showing is the way his rise to stardom reads
 He poked a gun in my face, backed me across a room to minister and girl and said Come Thru She was as game as a pebble and never batted an eye until it was all over" That's the way this man describes his start on an adventure that rivals the Arabian Knights. Come Thru is at the Hip for today only.

Draft 258" at Empress

In the history of the world there has never been a more important event than the drawing of the his toric No. 25S in the selective draft. On this momentous event Metro has based the plot for Draft 25S.' it's big 7-reel feature in which Mabel Talia- ferro opened her engagement at the Empress last evening. Instantane- ously with the announcement of the passing of the national army bill. for eign agents began to SOW seeds of discontent. They stopped at nothing in their efforts to defeat the aims of the government. All this is brought out in a remarkably vivid manner during the action of this master drama, as well as the effect of the drawing on one family whose two boys are affected. One answers the call. and the other, becoming the tool of the foreign agents. sets his task of resisting. Breathless scenes are flashed as the audience follows the sister and the enlisted brother in their attempts

ADJUSTMENTS
EIks Matinee oday

Fifty Miles From Boston will be the attraction presented at the Elks theater this afternoon by the Ed. Red mond Musical Comedy company. This play will have especial appeal to the younger set, as the story centers about college life and has to do with the return from Harvard of the col lege hero and the action centers about his wooing and winning for wife the little postmistress of his own home town. Many thrills are provided by the action of the town bully in his endeavor to win from the college boy the girl he loves. While the story is mainly frothy in action and brilliant with musical interpolations, the dram atist has deftly interwoven the thrills and heart interest in most fascinating manner.
 Fifty Miles From Boston will be staged, at the matinee today, tonight, tomorrow matinee and tomorrow night for the last times.
 Back to Nature" a spectacular holiday offering, will be presented next week commencing with Monday evening.

The Trouble Buster" is the name of the latest of the Billiken- Kewpie family of laugh provokers, around which is woven the story of the play of the same name, in which Vivian Martin is appearing for the last time at the Lamara today. Vivian Martins wonderful personality and sweet smile have won her a place in the highest ranks of motion pictures, and these characteristics are featured in her latest effort. She is seen as a little girl, who, on the death of her father, to escape the orphan asylum, runs away and meets a newsboy who offers the hospitality of his ''domicile,' , an old piano box in the rear of a large factory. Gladly accepting the offer, she cuts off her curls, dons boy S clothing and is known as Mike, lend ing her assistance to the newSboy in the sale of his wares.

The purpose of the board in advocating the purchase of a site is that school facilities may soon be provided for the pupils living in the north and central part of the city, many of whom are now obliged to. travel a mile or more to reach a school.
 It is proposed that the new school shall be of 10 or F rooms and that all grades from kindergarten to the eighth be taught For this purpose the board recently asked for the proffer of sites. This request brought out several loca- tions.
