PEGLEG TO PAY HER $3.50.

PittsDurg, Pa.-Pretty Anna Mary
Moore, the young manicurist who was
engaged to James A. kilkenney, clerk
in the employ of the Pennsylvania
railroad for three years, and often sat
on his lap but never discovered that
he had two wooden legs, was awarded
$3.50 damages as heart balm recently
by jury.
Counsel for the defendant argued
that a person who would testify that
she was engaged three years, and sat
on his knee and say she did not know
he had wooden legs, was not worthy OF
belief, and her testimony could not be
relied upon.
The defendant is a former resident
of Philadelphia, his parents living on
Lehigh avenue, and in 1912 he took
Miss Moore there and she stayed two
weeks.

MERMAIDS IN MAKING
SHOWN IN GREAT FILM

One of the most interesting subjects
in William FoXs million dollar pic
ture beautiful "A Daughter of the
Gods at the Broadway next Thursday
and Friday, of which Annette Keller
mann is the star, is the mermaids fish
tail Quite story in connection with
this is told. First of all, how Miss
kellermann and Mr.. Fox, after a
search of weeks, finally found a cloth
that represented fish scales. This in
itself entailed a great deal of research
work.
They hunted the large wholesale
houses in New York City for a long
time to find a cloth that, while repre-
senting fish scale, would at the same
time be practical in the water. More
than 10000 yards of the goods were
ordered and shipped to Jamaica, where
the costume department, under the
supervision of Mrs Lee took over the
girls, fitted them with the mermaid
tails and sent them on their way.
In order to costume the girls, 15O
sewing machines and operators were
employed While the fabric with
stood the water to a certain extent, II
did not last more than a week or ten
days, so one may imagine how many
duplicates had to be manufactured tc
complete the picture
Before the mermaids attempted to
swim thus encountered they practiced
for more than two months under the
direction of Miss Annette Kellermann
who would send them out into the
harbor with their feet tied together
by handkerehiefs or ropes. In thi.
way the girls became experts, ant
