him "United States was scarcely a
reality. Yet he had been fed by UNIT
ed States for all the years since he
had been in the army. He had sworn
on his faith as Christian to be true to
UNITED States" It was "United
States" which gave him the uniform he
wore, and the sword by his side. Nay,
my poor Nolan, it was only because
"United States'' had picked you out
first as one Of her own confidential
men of honor, that "A. Burr" cared
for you straw more than for the fat
boat men who sailed his ark for him.
I do not excuse Nolan; only explain
to the reader why he damned his coun-
try, and wished he might never hear
her name again.
He never did hear her name but once
again. From that moment, Septem-
Der %, 1907, till the day he died, May
II, 1863, he never heard her name
again. For that half century aud
more he was man without q v0un-
try.
Old Morgan, as 1 said, was terribly
shocked. If Nolan had compared
George Washington to Benedict Ar
mold, or had cried, "God save King
George" Morgan would not have felt
worse. He called the court into his
private room, and returned in fifteen
minutes, with face like q sheet, to
say:
"Prisoner, hear the sentence of the
court. The court decides, subject to
the approval of the president, that you
never hear the name of the United
States again.
Nolan laughed. But nobody else
laughed. Old Morgan was too
solemn, and the whole room was
hushed dead as night for a minute.
Even Nolan lost his swagger in a mo-
ment. Then Morgan added: "Mr.
Marshal. take the prisoner to Orleans
in an armed boat, and deliver him ia
the naval commander there"
The marshal gave his orders, and
the prisoner was taken out Of court.
'Mr. Marshal" continued old Nor
gan, "see that no one mentions the
United States to the prisoner. Mr.
Marshal, make my respects to Lieu
tenant Mitchell ut Orleans, and re
quest him to order that no one shall
mention the United States to the pris
oner while he is on board ship. Yot
will receive your written orders from
the officer on duty here this evening
The court is adjourned without day.

Next Wednesday afternoon and eve
ming the divine Sarah Bernhard will be
seen at this theatre in Mothers of
France" the stupendous and tremendous
moving picture filmed during the present
war in which Madame Bernhardt's won
derful personality and dramatic ability
is seen to superb advantage. This, is
without doubt, the film event of the
year. Mothers of France will probably
be the last motion picture in which Ma
dame Bernhard will appear and because
of this fact more than the usual tremen-
dous interest in anything that this in
ternationally famous star does, attaches
to this picture. It would be impossible
to praise this attraction too highly. 1t
is so far above the ordinary feature or
ordinary special that there is no COM
parison.

MAJESTIC theatre

Life in logging camp in the deep
woods of the great Northwest is shown
in 1.-THE Promise" the Metro-Yorke pro-
duction starring Harold Lockwood and
May Allison, which will be seen at the
week.
Every detail of the activities of a lum-
Der camp is depicted, from the hewing
down of the great trees to the final float
ing of them down river, and the jog
jams that endanger the lives of the
hardy "river-drivers. Harold Lock-
wood, as Bill Carmody, enters with zest
into this work.
Contrasted with this are scenes of
metropolitan gaiety, glimpses of Broad
way life in which Carmody figures be-
fore his regeneration. A college foot
ball game is one great feature of the
production. May Allison as Ethel Man.

No document in actual Amer
lean history conveys a more
powerful lesson Of what citizen
ship in this republic meano, none
delivers more searching appeal
to loyalty, than this fanciful re-
cital Of the Man Without a
Country. The unhappy creature
whose living death it has graved
upon the memory Of mankind
was but figure born of writ
er's imagination. Yet, the ac-
count Of his passionate outburst
and Of his dreadful expiation )
stirs the duIIest soul, and will
awaken emotion in the minds ,
Of readers Of generations yet un-
born. There can be no more ar ;
resting lesson for the disloyaI or
the needless, no more inspiring
appeal to the spirit Of true Amer
icanism, than this memorable
work Of literary art and high
souied patriotism.]

DID YOU GIVE
TO LIBRARY BOX?
There Ia 4 Receptacle At Library for
Money for Soldiers Books-
Don't Forget II 10
There,

Keokuk's quota Of the fund to place
libraries for the soldiers is being re-
ceived at the public library. It has
been hoped by the trustees OF the To-
cal library that the citizens will not
make it necessary to collect for this
fund but that it will be a voluntary
matter with patriotic people. That
the boys want the books and need
them is we'll known to erybody. You
remember what Hugh Drifting wrote
to his father in "Mr. Drifting Sees 1t
Through"
"We read, Of course. But there
never could be library here big
enough to keep us going. We can do
with all sorts of books, but don't
think the ordinary sensational novel
IL quite the catch 1t was for lot OF
them In peace times. Some break to-
ward serious reading in the oldest
fashion. I used to imagine that read
ing was meant to be stimulant; but
here it has to be an anodyne."
Our own obys in their letters home
have spoken of the need Of something
to read during the hours off duty.

for men in training, for men being
ulODlllZeu, Luz ulSu LII ottAllooho, AoA
men in their rest periods, while on the
march, and even for the men at the
front. The libraries will serve the
crippled aud manned men returned
from service, wounded soldiers, intern
ed groups and prisoners of war, men
awaiting the muster-out, sailors on
shipboard, and sailors at the various
naval stations. Not a man in any
branch Of Uncle Sans war service
must be neglected.
Contributions to the fund should be
| left at the library.

FIRE TRUCK
HAS COLLISION
Hits Two Autos on Seventh Street
While Going to Lamb Fire
Considerable Damage to
All Vehicles.

Yesterday afternoon the motor fire
truck on it's way to the fire at c. w.
Lambs, collided with two automo-
biles on Seventh street near the in
tersection with Main street. There
is a hitch rack on the east side OF
Seventh, and a farmers hog wagon
on that side and an auto on the
other blocked the way. The driver,
in attempting to 60 through hit a
Cadillac auto, and before 1t could get
in the clear again, struck the second
auto belonging to the Burke Ice
Cream company, which stood few
yards below the other.
Both the fire truck and Burke's
auto were put out of commission,
and the first auto struck was also
somewhat damaged. The tire of one
OF the front wheels Of the truck was
ruined, the tenders damaged and the
steering gear was injured. 1t was
necessary to send for some repairs
It is though the truck will be ready
for business in a few days
