TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO

John Schuette has sail boat with
which he amuses himself when business
cares press too heavily on him. Last
Saturday while cruising along near
the. south harbor pier in about five
feet of water the boat upset and John
found himself in the water. He knew
there was 70 danger but he wanted to
regain that boat without attracting
any attention. His youngest daughter
little girl, chanced to be out on the
pier, and her father tried to convince
her that bath in that style was a
daily performance with him and that
the capsized boat was an attempt to
make life saving crew out OF him
self. When he finally got things in
shape and was safely in the boat he
found that his gold watch and chain
were in the lake. Two little urchins
came along with the evident intention
OF taking swim. Boys" shouted
John, "are you going TO swim here?"
The abrupt tone alarmed the boys and
they thought the law was about to
pounce upon them for swimming In
forbidden places. To make things
right they informed the dripping man
that they were good little boys and
never swan or told stories. "But |
want you to swim and get that watch
down there" said John whose clothes
now seemed to weigh ton. "Here's
dollar for you" The promise of the
dollar awakened interest in the boys,
but alas, John Schuette was never
known to have dollar 10 his clothes,
and the failure to produce the coin
satisfied the boys that he was mnon
Of the law anxious to capture them 10
Jldgrdnte deIictO, and they scampered
of. John fshed up his watch and set
sail for home, but the fame Of his
deeds had preceded him. He sought
all the unfrequented streets but they
seemed to be favorite thoroughfares
that day and everyone was bursting
with sympathetic expression. The
'futfn of his wet boots drew the atten.
tion OF every one toward him and the
children who were familiar with him
kept plying him with questions as TO
chow 1t happened" That boat is for
sale cheap now and high board fence
is to be put up just east OF the Schuette
residence so as to shut OIL all view Of
the lake.

HEAVY TRAFFIC IS TEST
 OF GOOD DRIVING

The February Woman's Home Com panion says:
 Heavy traffic is the true test of good driving. The expert never at tempts to make speed through traffic. She realizes her own expert operation will not save her from the mistakes of others, and so she never sees how closely she can pass another car, but how much extra space she can give. She never insists upon right-of- because it is legally hers. Safety first is much better than My rights first
 "A good driver never passes an other car without plenty of warning. The good driver never attempts to pass when a curve immediately ahead hides what may be coming the other way. The good driver never passes the car in front when she sees another car or cars against her in the stream of traffic. The good driver never tries to pass between two cars, for a mis- take by either may mean a wreck in which she may not be at all to blame. but-a wreck is a wreck"

SURPLUS FLESH INCREASES
 YOUR CHANGES OF DEATH

In the February American Maga- zine there is an article on reducing and gaining weight The author says
 Between forty and fifty a man who allows his weight to remain high is running more danger of an early demise than he would run if he con- tracted typhoid fever What is more, if he were stricken with that disease his chance of recovery would be ten per cent less than normal A man who is thinner than the average, on the other hand, has less danger of dying in this decade than a man who tips the scales at the normal figure.
 "When a man is in his twentes a deficiency of twenty pounds in weight makes him twelve per cent more lia- ble to fall before the scythe of the implacable reaper. A slight surplus of flesh seems to assist one in escap- ing diseases that cause death in this period-principally tuberculosis and typhoid fever.
 "A man in his fifties who is twenty pounds in weight makes him twelve per cent more liable to fall before the scythe of the implacable reaper. A slight surplus of flesh seems to assist one in escaping diseases that cause death in this period-principally tub erculosis and typhoid fever
 "A man in his fifties who is twenty pounds over normal weight has ff- teen per cent mortality handicap to face. Should he be forty pounds over weight his chances of dying are in creased forty-fve per cent thereby"

SOUTH WING STATE
 CAPITOL ROOF LEAKS

Little Rock, Jan. 26-Every time a heavy snow, or good rain falls, the roof of the State capitol, in the south wing, develops lot of leaks that won't close up by expansion of the water soaked roof Two years ago such a condition would have brought forth much debate in the legislature. Now big galvanized tubs catch the water as it drips into the halls, and only those who notice them are the persons who have to walk around the tubs in the passage way.

 Florida Times-Union.

We had no idea to what extent the motion picture had earned the hostil- ity of the liquor interest. As far as we know the motion picture has never gone out of it's way to paint the evils of intemperance; if the screen reflect ed them it was merely performing the function of a mirror held up to the daily lives of the people One liquor organ now proclaims with consider able pride that it is back of the pro- posed increase in taxation for motion picture theatres. According to the editor of the liquor journal he gath cred the statistics which enabled and encouraged Congress to propose its new tax We had no idea Congress was drawing from such sources for its information on the motion picture industry.

THE PRINCE OF GRAUSTARK"
 FEAURING BRYANT WASHBURN

President George K. Spoor of Es- sanay has obtained the rights to ''The Prince of Graustark" and will produce it as five act photoplay This is a sequel to George Barr McCutcheon's famous "Graustark," produced in six acts by Essanay. Bryant Washburn and Marguerite Clayton will appear in the leading roles, with supporting cast headed by Ernest Maupain, Syd- ney Ainsworth and John Cossar. Fred k. Wright, who directed "Graustark, :" will also produce this piece
 Just as "Graustark" made such a wonderful photoplay so will "The Prince of Graustark" The best seller has had such phenomenal sale as a novel that it's characters are we'll known to readers numbering into the millions. Like it's forerunner it makes an ideal film, one possessing the snap and brilliancy so popular with motion picture patrons. Typical Americanism rule the situations and the climax de- velops into a delightfully."- executed "surprse-ending."
 This play will offer the first oppor- tunity for followers of Bryant Wash burn and Marguerite Clayton to see the two of them in the same feature. Each has been with Essanay for a term of nearly four years, but had never been cast together until the past few months. In sevral three-act pie lures they appeared together and formed popular opposites that-cou- pied with their suitability for the parts-President Spoor decided to cast them in features.
 Miss Clayton has appeared in three recent features, According to the Code, v "Vultures of Society" and "A Daughter of the City" Mir Wash burns last feature was "The Havoc" but he has appeared in numerous three-act pieces since.
 The selection of Ernest Maupain for the part of the eccentric millionaire, whose chief characteristic is Ameri- can initiative, is happy. as all persons familiar with his work and the char acter in the book will agree. So also IS the casting of Sydney Ainsworth as Count Quinno&.
 An indication of how such popular and established story is taken by the public has just been exhibited by the ease in which excellent locations were obtained. The estates and homes of four of Chicago's wealthiest men were procured with comparative ease when the title of the picture was men, toned, even though such requests had been repeatedly rejected in the past. With elaborate settings and a strong cast this promises to be notable fea- Lure.

that soldier life in the trenches has its

hardships, and, serious side. He told

were dropping too near for comfort
and large excavations were made in
