"THE CRISIS"

1t would not be possible to more ac-
.curately, more tenderly, more beauti-
fully typify the Missouri Of the Civil
war PEI ed than is done in the photo
play version of ''The Crisis. Wins
ton Churchill did great work for
the people of this State when he por-
trayed to the world in his Civil war
romance their noble sentiments, their
honest differences of belief, their pro-
found love for truth and honor, and
their ultimate reblending of their af-
lection and their sympathies. The
playwright who dramatized the novel
offered another fine achievement. The
camera has now capped the climax
with the superb delineation Of the life
of that pretentious time.
The great lesson which the pictures
teach in every scene is that the man
hood and womanhood of Missouri were
unaffected by the strife which for a
time divided neighbors and house
holds.
1t is a really good motion picture of
the type of "The Birth of Nation"
and is well worth seeing. 1t will be
shown in Pennington for two days,
commencing next Wednesday at the
Monarch Theatre.

LIKES THE SERVICE

Russell Mullins, who left some
time ago for Port Royal, South Caro-
lima, for training in the Marine corps,
writes that he is well satisfied and
that the Marine life is just fine
the very thing to make a man of one.
He says all the Pennington boys who
went are in the same company and
none of them regret having enlisted
to fight for Uncle Sam. He also
writes that they have ten hours drill
ing each day; that there are 5000
soldiers in the corps at Port Royal,
and that the climate is extremely
warm-indeed, hottie mercury
reaching as high as 142 in the shade,
but that the nights are cool enough
for them to sleep comfortably under
two blankets.

the latter part of last week on his

dinner of the Christian Church Sun

it all and in meeting so many of the
old friends he knew in boyhood. He
stopped in at The Times office Mon
day on his way home, a custom of his
whenever he is here and which we ap
preciate highly, for we are always
glad to be greeted with his cheerful,
optimistic manner.

The weather this week started in
rather damp, which was followed by
pressing down of the temperature to
uncomfortable degree, especially for
those who had taken off their "heav-
les" and donned their Summer furs."
In fact it was an open question Tues
day whether it would be rain or snow.
And this reminds us that on Saturday
we heard an old friend telling why
there would be no rain before June
9th. His argument was based on
''moon signs" or something of the
kind. His argument at this time
seemed to us as being somewhat
plausible, and served, in measure at
least, in inducing us to don our B. V.
DIS. In our present threadbare con-
dition we feel like tabooing all wealth
er signs hereafter.

JITNEY WOULD NOT FLOAT

Will Wallen, a jitnev driver be-
tween Bismarck and Flat River, met
with an accident which proved quite
costly and came near permanently de-
priving him of his machine, Monday
afternoon about five o'clock, while at
tempting to ford Flat River at the
Davis crossing. Wallen makes regu-
lar trips from Bismarck to the Lead
Belt, mainly for the accommodation of
miners, and was returning Monday
evening with full load of five pas
sengers.
On arriving at the Davis crossing
the stream, which is quite narrow at
that point, was apparently rising, but
Wallen thought he could make the
crossing and drove in. But the water
was deep enough to kill his engine,
and while he hesitated, attempting to
devise some method of getting out,
the stream continued to rapidly rise,
and the passengers were forced to
wade ashore. Wallen finally secured
the assistance of Mr.. Edmonds, with
his team. and wagon, and made an
attempt to pull the auto ashore.
By that time, however, the water
had become so high and swift that
it carried horses, wagon and car down
stream a ways, and Mr.. Edmonds was
satisfied to get ashore after cutting
loose from the car, which was then
washed down stream about fifty yards,
where it lodged against trustle, and
where it was tied until next morning,
when the stream had fallen so that it
could be gotten out. The car suffered
considerable damage, but all those
connected with this exploit should be
thankful that the damages were con-
fined to the car. Wallen also discov-
cred that his iitney would not float.

brother of Congressman Hensley of
Pennington, Mo-, who writes that as
soon as he can get away from Wash
ington, he will hasten to Miami, not
even stopping at home, so much is
he interested in the mines here. The
district has no stronger admirers and
more substantial friends than the

them came from the famous Flat Riv-

WILSON ASHORE TO
PLAY HOUSE GOLF
PRESIDENT Leaves Yacht at Gloucester
But Keeps Location of Links Sc
cret to Avoid Crowd.

Gloucester, Sept. 1O.-The presi-
dents yacht, Mayfower, with it's con-
voy was still in the harbor this morn
ing but prepared to weigh anchor la
ter in the day and continue the
cruise upon which President Wilson
and Mrs. Wilson embarked at New
York Saturday. Reports that the
party would come ashore again to-
day drew a crowd to the water front
but it was made known that the pres
ident wished to avoid anything in the
way of demonstration. It was not re-
vealed just when the Mayfower
would sail, and it was intimated that
the president would not have left the
Mayf1ower yesterday if his plans to do
so had become known in advance.
The president and Mrs Wilson
came ashore at IL o'clock and were
met at the pier by Col. and Mrs. E
M. House with two automobiles The
president was accompanied by his
naval and military aides and attend
ants who carried several golf bags.
The weather was fine and bracing.
The president was smiling at the
small crowd at the wharf as his car
moved away and then passed through
the principal street here where citi-
zens were waiting to see him.
Col House declined to say where
the president would play, as he was
anxious to avoid the crowd that might
be attracted to the links when it be-
came known that he would take part
in a game.

BABY SLEPT WHILE
CROOK STOLE AUTO
Boy of -Four Has Thrilling and Chill
ling Experience When Daddy's
Car Is Taken.

Boston, Sept. 10.-Harry Davidson,
the four-year- son of H. L. David
son, who was asleep on the rear seat
of an automobile stolen last night
from In front of the Davidson resi-
dence in the Dorchester district, was
found at Dedham, near here, early to-
day and returned to his parents. The
child was suffering from exposure af-
ter being out all night in the cold and
was unable to talk.
A watchman on duty at a sewer un-
der construction at Dedham saw a
car apparently deserted in the road
way and as he approached he heard
a child crying. Investigation showed
the little fellow under the blankets,
Eand, as he could give no account of
himself, the watchman notified the
Boston police who had been searching
for him all night. The youngster was
taken home where a physician met
him and put him to bed.
It is supposed that a thief took the
car and reached Dedha1h before dis
covering the presence of the child.

FIRST 'UNWRITTEN LAW CASE
Lieut.. Malcolm of English Army Shot
Man Who Was Attentive to Wife
While He Was at Front.

London, Sept. 10.-Crowds of curl
Gus women and others clamored for
admittance to Old Bailey this morning
when the trial of Lieut.. Douglas Mall
colin for the murder of Anton Baum
berg, a pseudo count, began. The
case, which has been characterized as
"a drama of passion is the first here
in which "the unwritten law Is ex-
pected to be the sole defense, and is
the most sensational in London in
many years.
A coroners jury returned a verdict
of "justifable homicide" after hearing
Lieut. Malcolm's plea that he killed
Baumberg "in defense of his wifes
honor"
A confession by Malcolm wife, who
is called a great beauty, that she be-
came attached to Baumberg while her
husband was at'the front, is expected
to play an important part in the trial
which probably will be concluded in
two days.
