ing little Metro star, comes to the
Apollo tomorrow in her latest fea-
ture picture, 1.-THE Innocence OF

leading roles makes the drama a
most convincing and appealing
one. Charlotte Walker is BEAU

vigorous and typical of Rex Beach.

Match Morris
With Harrahan

SEATTLE, March 20.-Sammy
Morris, the San Francisco young
ster who is touring the coast in
search of the featherweight title,
will take on Joe Harrahan, the
scrappy little Seattle boxer, at the
Elks' smoker tomorrow night.
Harrahan has developed into a
near lightweight during the past
season, but Morris doesn't care
how they are, as long as they will
fight. So a difference of a few
pounds doesn't worry him at all.

The call of Cupid was stronger in the heart of Miss Violet Betty Horton than that of the Second Liberty loan and so when this charming young wo- man, arranged the papers on her desk at the Liberty Loan Headquarters yes terday and let it be known that her days work was done, she went forth con- scious in her own mind that she was about to undertake her life work in the role of rnatron. Less than two hours after she had finished her days work, she had promised to Love, honor and (perhaps) obey" William R. Anderson, the man to whom she had plighted her troth many weeks ago. At the First Methodist Episcopal parsonage at 6:30 o'clock last evening. Rev. Ray C. Har- ker pronounced the words that made this popular young couple husband and wife.
 That William R. Anderson. captain of No Fire Company and Miss Hor- ton were some day to wed was gener- ally believed among their host of friends. In fact so strong was this conviction, premature announcement of the approaching wedding crept into the columns of The Republican sev-
 
 failed to take place when their friends felt sure it would, threats were made that waiting watchfulness" on the part of these friends would result in the apprehension of the young fire cap tain and his bride when the ceremony had actually been performed
 But they guarded their secret well, taking none into their confideAce eX- cept such as they were certain they could trust. So it was that the jour ney to and from the parsonage was made without incident and none of those who had threatened to kidnap the groom and maroon the bride were aware that the ceremony had actually been performed last evening. To these the publication this morning of the fact of the wedding will be the first ntimation that Anderson sue ceeded in keeping the wedding secret until it was too late for the proposed demonstration
 The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Mary Horton of the Fowler district. She is a graduate of the Lamson Busi- ness college and for some time has been serving in the capacity or clerk at the Liberty Loan headquarters. Her father at the time of his death a few years ago, was one of the most prom inent ranchers in the Fowler district.
 The groom is the son of Prof. and Mrs. w. J. Anderson. For three years he has been a member of the Phoenix Fire Department and none has won greater popularity than he He was formerly lieutenant of No. l company being advanced to the rank of captain of the same company. Later he was transferred to No. ? company, which organization he has brought to won- derful state of efficiency.

-----f)------- WOMAN STAYED IN BED FOR 72 YEARS
tProvidence Journan

From London comes the story of a woman who has just died at the age of 94 years after spending seVenty-two years in bed. This remarkable case calls for admiration rather than sym pathy, if we believe in the theory that will-power, determination and persist ence are admirable qualities.
 When she was about T she became engaged to d young man whose suit was froWned upon by her father The parental ban being placed upon the marriage, she in her disappointment took to her bed and remained there to the end of her long life, an extraordi- nary instance of persistent resentment which recalls inc adage emphasizing the futility of 'Diting off ones nose to spite ones face
 Several sermons of varying appica- tion might be based on this story No doubt Will-poWer exercised in this Way is not admirable unless it achieves d definite and reasonable purpose or may be regarded as emphasizing q cont.Eu- ing principle or symbolizing a perna- nent grief or emotion. That could scarcely be claimed in any Instance of this character. The length nf time which grief or disappointment may en- uure as a compelling motive Tn the nu- man mind and logically produce a con tinued extremity of conduct, varies greatly according to the individual. But time is an ultimately irresistible agent in the processes of healing and o!'literation. and somewhere there is d definite limit to the duration of any emotion Even. with the exceptional temperament it cannot be sustained be- yong this limit without a renewed, periodical stimulus of some sort This in harmony with physical law that applies with equal force to mental and emetional matters. Energy that is not ~erewed is bound in time to eXperd it. self.
 .af.er the first dozen or fifteen or iwerty years this iSnslishwoman must have remained in bed through sheer force of habit, ard in all probability she had forgotten more than half century ago why she took to her bed in the first place. This curious case illus trates the force of habit rather than the power of will.n.
