Evolution of the Hyphen.

This is the genesis of the n.y.
phen and thereby hangs the tale:
About 60 years ago there was a
mighty exodus Of German people,
to escape military duty from Ger
many to Russia. These emigrants
from the Fatherland settled nicely
in the promised land and raised
families and improved the coun-
try. The Russian government see
ing them prosper, repenteth of
its PROMISE, and treated its origi-
nal agreement in true Prussian fla
shion. And it came to pass that
another, mightier exodus of Ger
mans of Russian birth took place
to this country where they raised
children and improved the coun.
try. But in this promised land
the government did not repent,
but encouraged immigration and
gave them freedom, liberty, equal
ity and prosperity and otherwise
mollycoddled them. And it also
came to pass that the world and
the promised land were in great
danger from Prussian militarism
aud despotism from which these
chosen people escaped. Many of
them were loyal to the country
which gave them all these things.
but among them we're to be found
u large number of ipgrates, whose
actions gave inspiration to the
prophet who wrote the song
Don't Bite The Hand That's Feed
ing YOU. And it repenteth some
of these ingrates: That had il
not been for their grandfather
moving from Germany to Russia
aud their father from Russia to
America, they would have had
the distinction of being born in
"Shermany" and thus become
"Supermen", destined to rule o.
yer all other nations, even the
''idiotic Americans, as Won Pap
pen put it. Aud thus this evolu-
tion of the byphen places before
us the query: Can a leopard
change his spots9

First SAVINGS Bank.

The first bank organized for the pur-
pose Of serving as a safe place for the
savings of small depositors was found
ed in May, 1910, in the little village OF
ROCKWELL, Scotland. The earlier insti'
tutions with a similar purpose almost
invariably. confined their deposits to
the savings of domestic servants and
other w~age-earners, but paying no In
terest and returning the money to the
members of the association in the form
Of annuities after they had reached
q certain age.

Hint to husbands: When drying
fishes hold the slippery ones over the
rest Of the dishes. Then when they
slip, the chances of breaking more
dishes are increased many times over
the more familiar plan of dropping
them on the floor. The more dishes
you break. you know, the fewer you
have to dry. There is no object in dry,
ing broken pieces Of china.-Kansas

The Germans in this country
are asking the government to do
them the favor SO as they would
not have to 90 to Europe and
fight their blood and kin. Aside
of this they are wiling to do their
bit. But these same uber AL
les" citizens seem to forget that
Germany and her ally Austria had
driven hundreds Of thousands
Poles aud Bohemians and others
ut point of a bayonet and mach
inc gun against their kin and
blood Especially so in the case
of the Poles. But the German
mind isl Chinese puzzle to us. A
nation That has gone stark crazy
aud thinks it is chosen of God to
make slaves Of other nations ma
tions is capable of anything.

never drops in the slightest degree, as
scene follows scene. Glorious ex-
teriors on the shores of the Mediter-
ranean, interiors Of stately chateaus
that bear the stamp of perfect taste
and refinement, glimpses of peasant
life-all serve as the harmonious set
tings for the effossasof a great cast
whose acting is without flaw.
"a Naked Soul is the story of a
young girl who loves a Prince and
trusts him completely. The young
man intends to make her his wife, but,
for state reasons, each is led to think
the other has proved false. After
the birth Of her child the girls
mind is affected and, although the
Prince returns to her, it is too late.
She wanders away to deep pool and
is drowned, her body, arrayed in a
bridal costume, being found in the
water by the broken-hearted Prince.
In watching the unfolding of the
tale on the screen everything is for
gotten except the effect which the di-
rectors aimed to produce, the domi-
nant quality of which is beauty. The
line by Keats, Beauty is truth, truth
beauty is exemplifed in this pic
ture-the beauty that is born of a
thorough understanding Of the artis-
tic, and the truth that is the outcome
of a profound sincerity.

"At First Sight"

The Wednesday attraction at the
Grand will be "At First Sight," a
modern romantic comedy featuring
Mae Murray. The story deals will,
the adventures Of pretty Justine
Gibbs, a very attractive and highly
American type Of young woman, who
rebels against prearranged marri-
age and follows the dictates of her
heart. She falls in love with a young
author, who is SO absorbed in a story
he is writing that Justine sees the
only way she can win his heart or
arouse his interest is by providing ma
terial that will satisfactorily finish
the story-which she proceeds to do in
wholly unexpected and original
manner Of her own. Her impetuous
and breezy courtship of the bashful
young man is amusing in the extreme,
and her coy retreat after she has
practically bagged the game adds the
last bit of delightful piquancy to the
clever picture.

"The Message OF the Mouse"

Although there is not soldier or
battle In ''The Message of the
Mouse" which the Grand announces
as its Friday attraction, the play is
nevertheless an impressive argument
for patriotism. It's theme is an after
the-war possibility, in which the am
bassadors of five war-1evelled Euro
pean nations, jealous of the financial
and economic condition of the United
States, conspire to get money for re-
building their own countries and at
the same time bankrupt America.
They work through the leading fnan-
Ger Of the United States and succeed
IN getting him to agree to divert fifty
billions of capital to Europe in re-
turn for huge concessions. With
draWal of this enormous amount of
money from American banks and in
dustry naturally causes panic and in
dustrial chaos here. The plot, how
ever. is foiled through the efforts of
patriotic American girl, imperson-
ated by Miss Anita Stewart.

less kind than the creator OF summer

nothing to puzzle ones brains about;
rather fresh, sweet story Of an un-

Allison. Scenes that contain Whlmsl-

vein Of sentiment running through
the picture. In regard to locations
the production excels.

"The Guardian -

June Elvidge, Montagu Love and
Arthur Ashley share stellar honors in
''The Guardian" which the Grand will
present Thursday. James Rokeby,
guardian Of young girl, is president
of a national bank at the time the
story opens, but in his earlier days
had been a burglar. Donavan, the
keeper of notorious dive, knows
this and blackmails Rokeby regular
ly for large sums of money. Roke-
by's ward, Marie Dacre, becomes in
fatuated with young fortune hunt
er. The latter falls into the clutches
OF Donavan, and when Marie eventual
ly rejects him the two men form a
diabolcal plot to get the girls money.
Their scheme almost succeeds, but is
finally frustrated in a remarkable
manner by Rokeby. Then Rokeby's
long love for his young ward meets
the reward it merits.

More than a word of praise is due

Monday. She appears as Justina, the
rebellious niece of old Miguel Alvarez,
who lives with his family near the Rio

and tyrant, and attempts to force
Justina to marry his weakling son in
order to gain possession of her money.
Justina, however, has the. American
love of liberty inherited from her
mother, who was a New Englander,
and On the very eve of her wedding
she runs away on the donkey of the

Her adventures from this point
