The Mlahty MeneIlk.

Menelk. the real author of Abyssin-
Ian independence, is the only rative
African monarch who ever defeated n
European milton In arms, and the only
one who was not bcstcd by them In
diplomacy. Italy tried to gain pro-
tectorate over Abysslnia by having
Menelik sign n treaty which he could
not read, the draft In his own language
being differently worded. The result
was war with the Italians, In which
they were defeated. Until his death
Menellk successfully kept order In his
country, performed the difficult duty
OF handling European concesslonairos
without becoming embroiled with their
governments, and kept his borders In
tact.

Napoleon as a Cadet.

When Napoleon was young cadet
he went on one occasion to witness the
ascent of balloon in the Champ de
Mars. He entered, unperceived, the
Enclosure which contained the balloon,
which was then very nearly full and
about to ascend, and requested the
aeronaut to allow him to enter the
car. The request, however, was re-
fused, the reason given being that the
feelings sof the boy might embarrass
the aeronaut. Though / am young /
fear neither the powers of earth nor
of the air" Bonaparte is reported to
have exclaimed. On being requested
to retire, the little cadet, enraged Mt
the refusal drew his sword, and, slit
ting the balloon in several places, de-
stroyed the apparatus which had been
constructed with infinite labor and in
genulty. Such was Napoeons first and
last attempt to ascend in balloon.

How to Le2u an UnruIy Horse.

I will describe a plan l have found
to be excellent for leading unruly
horses, says writer in Farm and Fire
side. Tie ring in halter of horse TO
be led. Then take n half-inch rope
about 20 feet long and having tied one
end of the rope TO the halter, run the
other around rear axle, then back
through the ring in halter, and then
to the wagon seat or to anyone in the
wagon.
With this You can draw the horse
In or let him out without danger Of
upsetting the rig. In an emergency
you can let go of the rope and free
The animal entirely. -

Artists Who IRE "Pecullar."

There are In this country number
OF men who sacrifice beauty of color
for popularity Of color-to announce
to the world their Individuality" that
they are here, on the map Of the earth,
writes f. w. Ruckstuhl in Art World.
They go either to the anemic and
bloodless, or TO the redhot and vulgar,
or to the neutral and leaden, or to the
shocking and caoplonic color-to Gre
ate a notorlety bringing sensation. Be
cause they know that the newspaper
and magazine art writers-who need
one sensation per week-wlll advertise
their work and annex them as fruitful
sources OF mutual profit. Such vulgar
color mongers the layman can Ignore
for their fate is settled In advance.
They begin to pass into oblivion as
soon as they are born, like Will o the
wisps. The very constitution of the
human mind and soul insuges that.

FARNUM AT BEST
 TN LATEST PICTURE

"Whcn q Man Sees Red that splendid eight part feature of the present Fox program, is without a doubt the greatest picture that Will liam Farnum ever appeared in-and that's saying a good deal. It is a screen version of Larry Evans mcm- orable literary achievement which appeared recently in the Saturday Evening Post under the title of "The Painted Lady,, and it more than does justice to the story. It is smashing tale of tho sea, and Farnum, as Luther Smith, the rough and ready sailor of a type that is fast disap- bearing. is perfection itself "When a Man Sees Red" tells the story of Luther Smith, whose sister was killed by the Skipper of the "Albatross." Smith. in a despairing attempt to for get his former life and the scenes of his happy home ships as com mon seaman on the "Albatross.'' ig- norant of tho fact that the man who caused his trouble and wrecked his life, is his captain. He takes an in stinctiVc dislike to the captain, how . ever, especially when it becomes i known around the ship that the new member of the crew is the brother of the "Old Man's' latest victim When : Smith learns the truth, he leaves the , vessel, and lands on a remote island in the South Seas. And there he
 meets a woman who is known as the , Painted Lady, and regardless of the : stories in circulation about her. he falls in love with her. Respecting him
 moro than she does herself the Painted Lady, although reciprocating
 his affection, runs away from him. on : tue yacht of a friend. She is wrecked at sea, and picked up by the Captain
 Of tho "Albatross.' She spurns his ! rude atteations, and, by way of re-
 Venge, he takes her to an inland will , laee on the coast of Africa, and there
 offers, her for sale to the savage na- tlves. But just about that time Lu-
 ther Smith, having passed through a series Of thrilling adventures, passes
 that way. And when he finds out what's going on-well, you can guess
 tho rest. "Whcn A Man Sees Red"
 will he shown again today and to-
 morrow together with the Fighting
 Trail', a funny Sidney Drew comedy,
 and the Ford Weekly.

SIDE TALKS
Sunsets or Dead Cats
BY RUTH CAMERON

Once upon a time I was going on days outing with two friends. The night before 1t rained. When I woke up in the morning it was still rain ing At half past eight the rain de cided to hold up, and at nine the sun shone out for a few minutes Then it went in again.
 At ten. when we were to meet, it was not raining and neither was it pleasant.
 And It Was the Very Same Day
 I was to meet one woman at the corner and the other on the car. When l met the first woman she looked "nry much depressed. Isn't it shame !, didn't clear off" were her first words.
 The second woman was saving a seat for us. She looked up with the smiles breaking out on her face as cheerily as ever the sun broke through clouds. "Isn't it great that it stopped raining?" she said.
 And it was the very same day.
 Only one saw the lack of rain and the other the lack of sunshine. It's an old thesis but the older grow the more 1 come to realize how much difference ones attitude to- ward what one has, nlakes-a lmost more difference than what one has. But Think Where We Would Be For instance [ wrote you the other day of a man who has been having something of a struggle to establish a new business.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Gelatine should never be cooked
 Hot rye rolls are delicious for dim ner.
 Save all pasteboard and light wood boxes.
 Mullins are delicious made with bar ley meal.
 An ounce of gelatin will jelly a quart of liquid.
 Olive oil is nourishng fat, and it aids digestion
 Apples cored before pairing are less apt to break.
 Flour should always be measured after sitting once.
 It is as wasteful to spoil good food by bad cooking as it is to throw it away.
 Boiled custard will be much smoother if only the yolks of the eggs are used.
 The waste in the average home is largely due to a lack of thrifttness ir using 1eft-OVers.
 Cooked macaroni left from dinner can be cut into small pieces and used with celery salad.
 For baking cakes the fire should be rather low, just hot enough to last through the baking.
 Soap should be bought in quanti- ties: remove the wrapper and allow it to dry.
 The good housewife will not allow even one slice of bread a day to be wasted.
 A sallow skin is sometimes caused by an undue consumption of tea, cof- fe Or cocoa.

DOUBLE FEATURE
 AT LYCEUM TODAY

Replete with amusing and interest Ing situations, and teemlng over With bits of comedy that bring chuckles, laughs and health guffaws, "Bab's Dairy,' featuring Marguerite Clark, the diminutive star, comes to the Iy- ceum today for three days stay. In the picture, Miss Clark plays a role in which she has excelled on numer- ous occasions, but gives better than ordinary rendition this time.
 As Barbara Archibold, a rich young boarding school miss, she returns to her home on vacation to find her home in a state of upheaval With ar arrangements being made for the en- trance of her older sister into, society Angry because she is almost entirely overlooked in her sisters favor, Bab as she is known, decides to give her folks scare, and fakes up a TO- nance of her own.
 The girl goes to extremes to carry out her plan and gets herself into some screamingly comical situations. Before she extracts herself there are some tall explanations offered, and everybody has good time straighten- ing things out. Bab finds that to f1irt with herself through the mail is harder than she thought. This is a story that will make you stay until the last scene flashes off.
 Edgar Selwyn in an unusual pie ture, "The Arab" will also be on the program, with several other good pictures including the Lyceum Week. ly and a Keystone comedy

 The V neck is still fashionable.
 Coats are cut quite full and wide.
 Panels are frequent in the new gowns.
 Taffeta and net is new combina-
 Broche fabrics are having a great vogue.
 Many, many frocks have wide sashes tied in the back.
 Hats are quite untrimmed, but smarter than ever in line.
 A broadcloth with hairline stripes is used for separate skirts.
 There seems to be no doubt about the coming of the narrow skirt.
 Suede hand bags are just the proper thing for afternoon outings.
 Most evening dresses are without trains.
 Heavy crepe de chine is used for blouses.
 great deal of metal embroidery is used.
 No fashion can be forced success fully.
 One-piece frocks are trimmed with fur Wool lace trims some of the new est gowns.
 Mixed fabrics are the newest for l street suits. Satin afternoon dresses are in taupe, beige, navy blue and black. Tall crowned models, with mar row brims, are favored among hats. A costume of white and black vel vet is effectively trimmed with jet.
 Frequently one side of wide sailor hat is wider than the other.
 There should be touch of white about the blouse to make it~becoming.

WILLIAM s. HART
 COMING TO LYCEUM

There are actors and actors. Good, bad and indifferent they come, and as quickly pass away, but when man playing roles of practically the same type time and again continues to keep his grip on the public to such an extent that he is hailed as the greatest in his line, then that man is truly an actor. William $. Hart is such a man. He is admittedly the peer of actors of the brusque, western type. and holds his own against all corners. Hart is the persOnificati6n of all that is western in motion pie lures, and brings to the screen some- thing fresh and vigorous and highly acceptable to the public.
 In '"The Narrow Trail" his most re- cent production, Hart will appear at the Lyceum Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, and the public is guaranteed treat. This is the first story filmed, that Hart has ever written. It is also his first picture under the banner of Aircraft, the greatest producing company in exist ence. In it he depicts the role of a bad man into whose life comes great love. The influence of a woman on a man whose heart is ordinarily cold is marvellous, and Hart. like all men is susceptible.
 Hart in '"The Narrow Trair' is worth all that can be said. A de- scription of this picture would fail to bring a realization of what it is 1t must be seen, and that is why the Lyceum is to have the great actor and the great picture here three days Remember, Thursday. Friday and Saturday. Wait for it.

 There is a fascinating little anecdote Of Emerson and Carlyle told by Thomas Nelson Page. that states the old thesis most wonderfully.
 Emerson went to call on Carlyle and spoke with great enthusiasm of the pleasure he had taken in look ing out on the Thames at sunset, of the light and the color and the big ships.
 And did you see the dead cats?" asked the bitter Carlyle, gibingly.
 1T did not see them, Thomas" was Emerson's serene reply.
