 William Fox, the fmpresario of this operaNin film, finds himself, with the premiere performance of "A Daugh- ter of the Gods at the crowning point of motion picture achievement, Cat an age when most men are for tunate to have >begun finding them selves" at alb.
 He is thirty-eight years old, a crea- tion of the marvellous melting pot'' of America; a wage-earner who now employs thousands; the owner of one small theater who now owns more than twenty, including the largest picture theater in the world; the oc- casional purchaser of a film, now the founder and head of the Fox film Corporations; in short.

SIDE TALKS
A Married Life Crisis.
BY RUTH CAMERON

If we mean criticize in its sense of giving helpful tactfu1 Suggestions, emphatically yes.
 There are some people who do not think they need Improvement. A8ut most of us are more humble and would be capable of much self. ini- provement if we had someone to show us the. way, not in a critical antagonis- tic spirit, but with the genuine wish to help us make the most of ourselves, and be helped in the same way in return.
 Never Criticize Before Outsiders. {. Husbands and wives should never critiSize each other in the. presence of outsiders. They should be very care- full not to seem ceAsorious or nagging in their criticism.
 Moreover, suggestions for change should always be well seasoned with appreciation.
 My notion of an ideal marriage is expressed by Stevenson in Virginibus Puerisque:
 May, you will be wisely glad that you retain the sense of blemishes; for the faults of married people con- tinually spur up each of them,> hour by hour, to do better and to meet and love upon a higher ground. And ever between the failures there will come glimpses of kind virtues to encour- age and console"

 Sleeplessness, nervousness, irritabil- ity, backache, headaches, dragging sen- sations, all point to female derange- ments which may be overcome by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 This famous remedy, the medicinal ingredients of which are derived from choice roots and herbs, has for forty years proved to be most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism.

CHAPTER XIX.
The Story Reains.

In the little stone courthouse on that Sabbath morning a hundred voices were lifted in the stirring music of Giardini's triumphal hymn. The peo- pie of the countryside had gathered to give thanks to God for the victory over their savage foes. The vigor of the chant swelled in stern strength which was made beautiful by the rough voices of the pioneers. In the little room the hymn echoed with the majesty of a cathedral chant:
 Come. thou Almighty King,
 Help US thy name to sing,
 Help me to praise!
 Father all glorious,
 Ger all victorious,
 Come and reign over us,
 Ancient of days!
 David felt himself thrill in every nerve: his wife's hand trembled in his and he knew that, like himself, she felt the mighty glory of life and love of trial undergone, of good triumphant over i'll. of yearnings toward the inef- fable. Tears of happiness stood in his

PROBLEM OF WARMING FEED
Barrels and Fresh Manure to Heat Sop for Hogs.

G6j. R. c. ASHBy, University Farm. St.
 Faul)
 A resourceful Minnesota farmer re- ports that he has solved the problem of warming the slop-feed for his hogs. Two barrels are placed near the feed ing troughs and a days supply of feed is placed in each. The barrels are heavily banked with fresh manure from the horse barn. The heating of the pile warns the feed in the barrels, as each days supply stands for 24 hours before using. Whenever neces- sary the banking is hauled away and new supply packed about the bar relS.
 Opinions differ as to the relative ef- ficiency of slopfeeding and dry-feed- ing, but disregarding the matter of ef- ficiency, some hog raisers prefer slop- feeding for brood sows in winter for another reason. In winter hogs do not drink enough water unless the wa ter is warm or supplied at frequent intervals. By mixing water with the grain the feeder controls the amount of water consumed by his hogs.

parents on the offspring is theoretical ly equal. However, the boar has the greater influence on the herd. Each pig in the herd is sired by the one boar, but there are several dams.
 A well-selected male used on a herd of inferior sows will make a great im- provement in the offspring. However, the use of an inferior boar on wellbred sows will have correspondingly bad result. The breeder should select his herd boar at an early date, and get him accustomed to his new surroundings. The system of feeding and manage ment is very important in getting the male into the best condition before mating.

Love had made him the apostle of the people of the will dcrneSs and he had knit their hearts to his with bands of humble ministry. He had never before addressed so large an audience as this. Sunday after Sun day, the ten or twelve who made up his little Calvinistic flock, lacking n church building, gathered in the homes of his elders, Henry Rice and James Armstrong; the foundations of Goshen | chapel had been scarcely planned; but today he found q hundred men and women watching him, expectant of spiritual comfort. No one appreciated better than he the sufferings, the be- reavements through which they had passed. In his meek and heroic spirit he thanked God for the high honor be- slowed upon him, that to him should be given the words to address so great company. In voice that rang with prophecy, he read aloud that thrilling call which concludes the four tcenth chapter of the Gospel of Luke {; and as he lifted his eyes from the book, he found resting on him the clear steady gaze of the threescore back woodSmen.
 "I am going to speak to you about tenacity of purpose he began, the quality of soul which enables you to hang on to the thing you have begun until you have finished it..
 Not one of you men and women but despises n man who gives up in the midst of fight. This feeling is a part of your very blood, for you have been brought up in the midst of dangers such as no other generation of men has known. IL Is upon resistance up to the last notch that your lives them selves depend. That man among you who surrenders imperils the lives of all of you. There is not one of you whose resolution has not been tried and tried sorely by the almost insuffer- able burdens of this new land. A hun dred times you have said, Why did I not remain in the land which my fa- therS have made safe and pleasant for meT And hundred times you have fought off that feeling of discourage ment.
 You are about to be put to a test more severe than any you have yet un- dergone. You have won the fight at Tip pecanoe; but do not be mistaken: all the pitiless warriors of the forest will gather again and crush you out en- tirely if they can; and behind them is the power of that nation across the seas, whose tyranny our fathers have overthrown at such tremendous cost. ".And whosoever doth no. bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple!

They are the words of a man who, without single follower, proclaimed his convictions before the most hostile and unfriendly of all gen. erations.

Scull turned paler. He had freed himself from the girls clasp, and sud denly his knees loosened beneath him and he sank at David's feet. Lydia threw her arms around his shoulders.
 "The mark!" cried Scull, raising trembling hands.
 David looked at the ribbon with a start. "Why, yes, it is purple. But I do not show it to you as sign that am keeping my oath of the Brother hood. No" As he continued his voice grew tender he seemed to be speaking to himself or to some vision which the wretched figure kneeling Ut his feet could not see.
 You saved my life just now," he went on. ''I would have thanked you for ending it, as you ended the love of the one I loved most in the world For the Sake of that dead love I prom ise you that no one shall know from me what you have been, what you are. I break my oath of the Brotherhood" The groveling creature at David's feet raised face of incredulity.

 Scull looked up at him, a radiance transiguring his face.
 "God bless you, Larrence," he said chokingly. You do not know what death means. You have only your own life; I have-God help me two lives to live for!'
 Lydia stopped quickly and lifted Da- Vd's hand to her lips.
 She went hastily from the room. The two men stood facing each other and for q while there was silence. Then David spoke slowly:
 Are you going to remain here?' Scull strengthened himself up.
 No! We shall go back to England. have robbed you of everything, and you have given me everything. You do not wish to see my face again. But before I go I will tell Toinette the truth. T."
 David nodded wearily and went out. A cold and drcary rain was still fall ing, but ray of light shone from the tavern door on the upturned face of the dead Indian. David stopped and looked down upon the sightless visage for moment and then laughed. The dreadful features were twisted into q smile as to ultimate victory, and q little rivulet of rain trickled unceas- ingly from the corner of the nfeGlth.

 David's hand stole unconsciously to the pistol that hung heavily within the folds of his own blouse. His fingers frightened on it and his lips drew to- gether in n harder line. Why not? The. thing so easily, so quickly done. Why not?
