BIGGEST MAN IN MANcHURIA
General Horwath Has Under His Con.
troll al Of Northern
Manchuria.

The strong man in control of the
Chinese Eastern railway ~ General
Horwath, general manager Of the Chi
nese Eastern railway and virtually
governor or commissioner Of North
Manchuria, though he of course bears
no such title. Theoretically the Rus.
sian authorities in Mnnchurla only
control the narrow zone of the rail.

whole Of North Manchuria is General
Ilorwath.
This railway and political lord Is q
big man in every way, Maynard owen
Williams writes in the Christian Her
aid. Six feet three in height, his
massive head-wlth long, straight
nose and with a fOrked beard reaching
almost to his waist-rises from a pair
Of shoulders so massive that they al
most dwarf It. AS he shook my hand
l realized the immensity of the man,
for my fingers were lost in his huge
grasp. His face is kindly and honest.
He Is giant Santa Claus in military
uniform, with benignity and cordiallty
Delying his great power. He has the
love Of most of the people and the
respect and confidence of the whole
foreign community. Under him Man
churia has had wise and benevolent
government, strong enough to pre-
serve peace amid most aggravating
conditions. But he served under the
old regime. All his efficiency was as
an official under the czar. For this
he has had to pass under severe criti-
cism by the representatives of the
workmen and soldiers. But even they
know that If his control Is sacrificed,
If he is harmed or removed from Of
flee. anarchy alone can be the next
pnge of MaEchuria's history.

Time to Call a Halt,

They had two officers billeted upon
them, and everyone in the house was
determined to prove their appreciation
of the men who were fighting for Eng
land. Even the parlor maid, anxious to
do her bit, valeted both major and
lieutenant with devoted skill, brushed
and repaired their clothes, and refused
the idea of tips.
But one day when the major handed
her pair of trousers that required n
button she demonstrated. ITS all very
well, sir. You give me the trousers
and you say put Il button on-but you
will be the sixth I've cut off the mas
ter's trousers to sew on to yours"

The Tad's Problem.

The tad on the Hardscrabble farm
sat In the fence corner behind the su-
mac bushes and frOwned darkly. His
was a weighty problem. When he grew
up he intended to have pair Of brass
knuckles. He had never seen any brass
knuckles. but he knew that they were
weapons used by pirates, circus men,
and other ornery folks, and he believed
they would be just as effective on
the fists of Il hero or an avenger. The
thing that he could not decide was
which he would do first when he ar
rived at manhood's estate and ac-
quired the knucks, pound the stufiing

little girl on the next farm from n

The Natural Supposition.

The first practice game of the sea-

The signal was given. He seized the
ball, lowered his head, and charged.
A mass of players on the scrub team
opposed their more or less burly forms.
There was n terrific shock. He never
knew what struck him.
In fact, when he opened his eyes, his
first words were:

pinched, get the number of his car"

Lincoln said that he wished some Of

To condemn 4 man for crime,

LOAN THE WOMAN

Joan the Woman" is a production that will take the conceit out of the male mind. What a wonderful con- trast there is between the brave, courageous Joan and the spiritless King Charles VII. of France!
 So much for the story and its eff feet upon the humans who see it and who cannot. help but be benefited by its glorious lessons, Looking at the production from its other side, name ly, the acting, the photography and the direction
 The average director finds it diff cult to stage even an ordinary battle scene correctly. These battle scenes are anything but ordinary. The least slip or mistake could easily have changed their atmosphere into one of comedy instead of dramatic. The bow and arrow soldiers are so far back in the distant past that in these days of sixteen-inch guns it is hard to grasp the fact that their winged shafts were as deadly and almost as accurate as bullets. The heavy and unwieldly swords would seem sadly out of date were it not for the fact that the ex- cellent direction of this picture brings forth their real deadliness in true form.
 Cast Excellent
 The character portrayals are won derfully carried out. It is by far the greatest piece of acting that Geral- dine Farra has ever done upon the screen. No one could have filled the place in photo drama of Joan of Arc as this wonderful actress has done. Her ever motion is displayed with startling vividness, and her self sac rificing spirit is shown through it all. In costume as well as manner she lives up to all our ideals built around the historical character. In her love scenes she is sublime. Where she abandons love to duty, she shows, without overdoing the part, just how greatly she is torn by conflicting emotions. And when she dies in the fire one can almost hear the cracking of the fagots as the flames leap up about her.
 Wallace Reid deserves a lot of credit for his characterization of the reckless Englishman who is finally brought to the feet of the girl he laughed at. The work of Theodore Roberts and Hobart Bosworth is par excellence.
 One of the many wonderful things of this production is the coloring, which is nothing short of marvellous. The effects used in the fire that con- sumes Joan of Arc make the flames so realistic that it is hard to believe that they are only photographs. At the Orpheum theatre Saturday and Sunday July 21 and 22.

COAL AND The COAL DEALER

Some people have complained
that the local dealer must be
making a big profit on coal this
year as it was so high in price.
This is mistaken idea as the
dealer is not only making less
profit but is receiving a smaller
percentage on his investment.
Hard coal costs the dealer about
$7.75 at the dock, freight costs
So. IS which brings the price up
to $1O.5O on the track. This has
to be unloaded into the shed to
await the customers convent
ence, then loaded into the wagon.
You pay the dealer S11.25,
which leaves him 75c to pay his
expenses, interest on his money
and profit. Soft coal is laid
down at Hope for about 50. Is
and sells for $40 80, leaving 85e
to cover profit, expenses and in
! terest. This does not seem tc
