LITTLE MINNIE
 GETS A SMASH
 AND IS NO MORE
British Gunners Put the German Lady Into the
 Happy Hunting Grounds

BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN
 FRANCE, Aug. 3O.-(Correspond-
 ence of The Associated Press). - Minnie is a very forward young lady who lives as rule in German front line trenches. She has no pretcnsions at all to beauty. She is for use, not for ornament. She is
 a trench gun, and her projectiles re-
 mind one of plum buildings attach ed to sticks. They fly very irreg- ularly but burst very regularly in that part of No-Man's Land furthest
 removed from Minnie's temporary lodging.
 Just before the latest. push around Yprcs, there was particular Min9
 nie located a few miles from Ypres, which was more than usually a nui- sance. The British trench was not well sited, nor very well protected Consequently when Minnie was ac- tive, she made things very uncom- fortable for the occupants of that British trench. Moreover, she had
 no regular habits, ssne worEtn on
 no plan, ladylike she did just about as she wished.
 The young British subalterns hated her with a persistent, pervad- ing hatred, and concoctcd many schemes for undoing, but to no avail. But one night, chance brought into the trench a very irritable old ar tillery officer, just as Minnie was tive. One of Minnies buildings soil ed his boots, and thereby aroused in him grim determination to de- vote himself to her destruction. vote himself to her destruction.
 He stayed in the trench all that and characteristics, and on the nor
 row he returned followed by his or derly, uncoiling wire as he walked. At the trench end of the wire a tenn pOrary telephone was fixed The far end of the wire led back mile and half to a battery of field ar ltiIlery. s ~a
 Along about noon Minnie opened her midday strafe. Promptly the
 artillery officer verified his observa- tfens of the night before and spoke
 few figures into the telephone. A
 minute later loud boom announced
 the arrival of British shell just
 across on the other side of No Mans Land The British officer swore softly. and spoke again into the telephone. The first shell had been at least thirty yards off The second was perhaps twenty yards on the other side. "Bulls-cye" sang the officer into the telephone, and | like fashion. Minnie was deceased

 ATTEMPTING TO RESCUE
 MEN FLOUNDERING IN WATER

Further details of the death of Robert (Buster) Barron, who was drowned in the Delaware River on August 22nd, were received in the mail last night by w. H. Clutter, of the Funter Bay cannery.

Mary Makes Big lii at the Dream.

Mary Pickford in wooden shoes and a red kirtle, dancing to the tune of a hand organ! Mary Pickford planting tulips in wooden shoe and presenting them to her lover All of which means that the popular Famous Player star is gracng the title role of that com pany's delightful production, "Hulda from Holland" by Edith Barnard De- lano, which is the Paramount Picture at the Dream theatre. opening last night for the remainder of this week.
 Her Italian, Japanese, Indian and just plain American characterizations have proven so overwhelmingly successful that it is a foregone conclusion that this picturesque little Dutch girl who travels from Holland to America, in charge of her three tiny brothers will strike deep in the hearts of Miss Pick ford's innumerable admirers. Miss Pick fords phenomenal popularity, though 1t is based upon many qualities. is most plainly manifested in her winning of one's sympathy. Never has Miss Pick ford played a more sympathetic role than that ~of Hulda, for though the lit- tie Dutch girl is thoroughly self-reliant and gives every evidence of being able to take care of her self she is always the appealing little girl from first to last.

Sensational Picture
 at Coliseum Tonight.

"Even as You and 1,' one of tine most powerful dramas of souls at bay. will be presented on the screen at the Coliseum tonight and for the balance of this week. It is said that this Lois Weber photoplay, in seven reels, holds the audience thrilled from beginning to end Its absorbing script depicts life in Bohemia as lived by a couple held aloof, from the whirl, by time, by their gentle ideaism.
 With dramatic situations, it intro duces into their home, the modern citi- zen, proud of his theory that true love dieting that the two. dsbelieving, will some not too distant day, betray one another. Their journeys along the thorned path of life and their rise and fall and rise again, fill the seven reels with interest raised to the nth degree. The strong cast features Priscilla Dean, Bean, Ben Wilson and Mignon Ander- son.
 Even as You and r. take ranks with those earlier masterpieces Of Lois Web- CT. including Shoes" Jewels" "Hyp- ocrites.'' Scandal" Where Are My Children" "Thc Mysterious Mrs M." and ''The Dumb Girl of Portici" It is highly emotional. wonderfully appeal ing. and while not attempting to ser in every reel No recent release has re- ceived more attention from investiga . tors into the problems of life.

Bill Hart's Cowboys
 Go With Their Chief.

In the supporting cast for "The Mar row Trail,' his first Ince- Aircraft pho- todrama of frontier life, William S. Hart will have more than a score of the cowboys who have contributed such notable bias of realism to many of his productions. Some of these rugged types Hart regards as his very own, as they have appeared with him con- tinuously ever since he made his debut as a screen actor under the direction of ThOs. H. 1ncc.
 When the announcement was' made that Hart would accompany Ince to Aircraft, the actor was immediately besieged by his cowboy supporters, who begged to be taken along. To these men of the lariat and chaps Hart is "the big chief" and to him they are my boys"

DR.. Allen McLane Hamilton. in Ills
"RecolIections Of an Allenist," relates
the following incident which occurred
In an Italian murder trial In which he
appeared for the state:
The defense was based on the shape
Of the murderer's head. and much tes-
timony had been given by an anthro.
pologist and craniologlst in regard to
the shortness Of the head Of the man
Oh trial.
So improbable was the testimony of
the head expert" that DR.. Hamilton,
during the noon recess, went to hat
ter and secured several conformateur
tracings, which he gave to the district
attorney.
Doctor, extreme length Of the head
Is also stigma Of insanity. is 1t not"
asked the district attorney.
The quack assented.
The district attorney showed him
the tracings and asked his opinion Of
them. The fellow examined them and
declared that the persons from whom
they were taken were undoubtedly In

COUSINS or THE CRAB.
Tho Little Bugs You Often Find Under
q DacaYad Loo.

Every one has seen the curious little
fiat gray creatures that scurry out Of
sight when you lift decayed log or a
moss covered stone In the woods or
near the water. They ure the arma-
dlllldia. or isopods OF the genus oni-
scoidea. commonly called the arma-
dillo. sow bug ind pill bug.
They are really not bugs at all, but
crustaceans or distant relatives Of the
crab, with gills provided with air tubes
not unlike the air tubes through which
insects breathe all over their body. A
favorite food OF frogs toads and sala-
manders.. the pin bug itself subsists
largely OH decaying vegetable matter.
and some believe It to be a useful
scavenger.
According to the Geological Society
Bulletin, the name armndillo was Civ.
en- It because OF Its habit when dis
turbed of rolling itself up into ball,
as the mammal of South America does,
but the crustacehn Is shrewder than
the mammal, For whereas the arma.
dillo never uncolls when It Is caught or
frightened-and therefore Its shell Of.
ten serves Ms Its own roasting pan In

twice and discovering that It is still In

Harold Rowland has an article enti.
tied "The Woman Who Wants to In-

"A good broker is as vauable to the

The broker knows the business, He Is
STEPPED IN the facts Of the world of
finance, His Judgment Is trained by
study and experience aud observation.
His advice Is worth having.
"But 10 sure he Is n good broker.
There are charlatans and confidence
men even among stockbrokers. though
the proportion is not nearly SO high as
the novellsts OF high finance would
have us believe. Re as careful In pick
