THE NEW PICTURE SHOW.

So many readers OF TIE NEWS
have inquired so particularly about
the item printed in the last issue about
the prospects of a new picture show

about ii, that We promised to let them

thing definitely. There has nothing
been done more than we published In

the property would say nothing more
than that 'the promoters have given
him $1,000 in cash Tor an option on his
property" that if they decided To
take a long time lease on his premises
they said they would expend $4,000
in improvements in converting 1t ints
an up-to-date picture theatre. Just as
soon as the deal Is closed we will let
the readers OF THE NEWS know at

BEWARE THE SEVEN
TEENTH DAY OF MARCH.

Julius Caesar was warned 70 beware
the ideas of March," and in these
modern days our people should be
warned to beware the seventeenth OF
March" AS an example of what the
weather man can hand out when he is
in a bilious mood. st. Patrick's Day
was about as mean and disagreeable a
day as we have experienced for long
time High, cold, blustery winds pre-
vailed all day. and the way of the Pc
destrians was made a hard one, in
deed. A favorite pose of people who
had to be on the streets was one hand
elevated. vigorously grasping head
gear, while the other was being used
in an endeavor to maintain a reason.
able degree of uprightness. The
wind blew and blew, and revealed
many things hitherto unsupported, full
ly justifying many Luke McLuke's ep
igrams. The big flag on top of the
First Nationals skyscraper, and the
flags on other buildings in other parts
of the city were taken down for fear
the high winds would blow them into
strings.
The day following st. Patrick's Day
Sunday, was, if anything, worse than
the preceding day. Extremely high
winds, accompanied by heavy snow
fiurries, prevailed all the day, and
made "shutins" of practically the err
tire population of Paris. The snow
and sunshine alternated all day, like
scenes in a moving picture, and kept
one guessing what would happen next
During a lull in the storm THE NEWS
man witnessed a remarkable sight in
the yard of DR.. Oberdorfer's residence
on Pleasant street. Following an un
usually heavy snow furry, which GOV
cred the ground, the sun beamed out
melting the snow except where the
shadows of the trees interviewed. The
outlines of the trees. even to the
smallest twigs, were left standing IN
snow white lines, perfect in every de
tail, as if etched or photographed
while all around them das dark green
where the melting snow had dis
appeared.

A LITTLE BIT OF COMEDY.

There was quite little bit of com
edy injected into mysterious hap
pening that was pulled off in Paris las.
Thursday night, in winch the principal
actors were a well-known politician
and business man, his son, a police
official, and score of interested and
amused spectators, who, (the latter
have hardly yet been able to fathom
the depths of the mystery.
Do you remember at the battle Of
Guantanamo, in Cuba, when, after ..
terrific shelling of the woods in pur-
suit Of supposed body of the enemy
the body Of poor old mule was found
as the only victim of the "battle?" p
mule figured in this case, too.
Thursday night, as Chief of Police
Fred. Link was taking a little recrea-
ton playing a game of pool in down
town pool room, he was hurriedly sum
nioned to the front by an excited voice,
crying, Hurry, Chief! Get your coar
and hat and come on! Well get him."
This was the excited business man,
who, followed by his son, was making
the entreaty. Link jumped into his
coat and hat, and, seeming something
doing, a crowd gathered. all eager to
know what was going on. Two news
paper men, on their way home from
work, asked the business man what
was the matter, and got a naughty
stare and an icy glance for reply
Back and forth the crowd surged
eager for news. The party jumped into
a waiting auto, and were speeded ou;

suddenly came face to face with the
mystery-there stood an old grey
mule doing his best to get hold of the

protuding from the crib! That was
the burglar!
And the curious crowd that surged
back and forth that night, trying in
vain to get a solution to the mystery
were not even told that night This
may be the first intimation of the real
state of affairs when they read 1t.
