this evening, will not be shown until
tomorrow evening, as Lyman II.
Howe's Pictures will be the special
attraction for tonight.
1.-THE Marriage Market, in which
Carlyle Blackwell co-stars with the

as a comparatively poor but rising

marries q wealthy young man to save
her father from financial ruin.
Arthur Ashley appears as the man
she marries. All of these are power

CAREFUL HARVEST WILL
SAVE PEANUT CROP
Proper Methods Of Gathering And
Storing Are Described In
Circular.

The largest peanut crop ever
grown in this country will be harvest
cd within the next few weeks.
Whether it can be saved in its en-
tirety for food and feed will depend
upon the care with which it is har-
vested and stored, declare specialists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. Accordingly a brief cir
cular carrying suggestions as to the
right ways to dig, dry, pick, and
store the peanut crop has been pre-
pared by the Department for immedi-
ate distribution.
Many farmers, the specialists point
cut, are growing peanuts for the first
time this year. Mistakes at harvest
time may result in heavy losses to
their crops. The methods which the
specialists describe in their circular
are those practiced by the most sue
cessful growers. Beginners are urg-
&c not to begin the harvest too soon
as immature nuts shrivel and are
light in weight when cured. No rule
can be given as to the exact time to
dig, but in general, harvest should be-
gin when investigation shows that the
vines have the greatest number of
mature pods. In the lower South,
where frosts do not occur until quite
late, the vines have a yeliowish APP
pcarance when the peanuts are
mature
The circular will be mailed to grow.

William Desmond appears as Carson
Stewart and Alma Reuben as MIIlicent
Drake in the new Triangle play. Mas
ter of His Home
The aristocratic parents of Millicent
Drake had set their cap for Rupert
Van lyle, whose millions were their
only means Of rehabilitating their for
tune. Millicent promptly turned down
his oifer OF love and money without
marriage. While the Drake family
were on their return from Van Ties
mountain lodge where they had been
stopping, their train was stalled. and
at Millicent's suggestion the party de.
cided to look over the Ready Bull
lion" mining property owned by one
Carson Stewart.
The youthful owner, Carson, took an
instant liking to Millicent and devoted
his entire attention to her as he es-
corted the party through the mine.
They became separated from the rest
OF the party, and while. they were
alone in secluded part of the mine
there was terrific explosion and the
place where they stood began to rapid
ly ill with water. Seeing a ladder
that led an upper level, Carson
threw Millicent over his shoulder and
bore her to safety.
Mrs. Drake at frat regarded Carson
as rough and vulgar MINER" but
learning that he was worth millions,
invited him to visit them in New
York, and he infatuated with Milf
cent, consented. The visit resulted in
Carson's marriage to Millicent, but
when he expressed the desire that
some day there might be "little
partner" he found that this was Meth
er in Millicent's or Mrs. brakes
scheme of things.
A year later Millicent discovered
that she was to become a mother. Mrs.
Drake was Mortified as she had planned
for Millicent to eventually divorce
Carson and marry Van lyle, SO she
suggested to Milliceut to see doctor.
Millicent however, found herself look
ing forward to the coming of the
baby. Carson, in the meantime had
heard of Mrs. brakes plan and sus-

left for his cabin in the West After

SOME TREE FREAKS
How A Fire Made One Grow In West
Virginia, and How Another
Bows lis Head.

One of the most interesting old
trees in the United States is a giant
Sassafras near Keswick. Va. The tree
has a circumference of 2012 feet six
inches from the ground and at feet
it girth is is feet 4 inches. Some
years ago the tree was a hollow trunk,
with its top broken off. and it seemed
about to die. Somebody built fire
in the interior. This fire was stop
led with difficulty and il was thought
that the tree was killed On the con-
tTary, the fire killed only the insects
with which the trunk was affected and
gave the tree itself new start, says
the American Forestry Magazine AS
a result the old trunk branched out,
like dressy old woman in a new
Easter bonnet and is now crowned
With strong healthy boughs
From Cimla, India, comes this
story to the American Forestry Asso-
citation OF Washington: The edu-
CITED public in Bengal is excited over
the discovery of palm tree which is
exhibiting certain remarkable phe-
nomenon. This tree is on a plot of
land owned by an inhabitant of Farid-
pur. In the morning it stands erect,
with its leaves outspread; but after
sunset it bows its head, the leaves
touching the ground, as if prostrat-
ing. This is witnessed every day.
Ignorant people have come to regard
il as an abode of some god Hun
dIeds of men. women and children
visit it daily and offer Pujahs near

sons have been cured by offering
pujah.
Sir Jagadish Nunder Bose, the re-
moved Botanist, sent some of his as
sistants, with a self-recording appara-
tus specially constructed for the pur-
pose to discover the cause of the phe-
nomenon. II has been found by dyna-
onetric measurements that the inter
nal forces, whose periodic fiuctuation
causes this remarkable movement,
are very great, the pull necessary to
bring the tree down to its position of
prostration exceeding several hundred
weights. Notwithstanding the thor
cughly scientific explanation that this
phenomenon is entirely natural, the
owner of the tree is still making a
good income from its pujah offerings

prepared by the Baltimore County Non.
One of the arguments which the
advocates of annexation find most
potent with the people of the counties
is that they want to better the stand
ing of Baltimore among the leading
cities of the country This appeals to
all the people of the State, because Of
their natural feeling of pride in Mary
land. A study of the census figures by
the stay-at-homes and little travel
by rolling stones dispels the pretty
dream that the Monumental City,
pleasant place as 1t is to live In, can
ever outstrip such cities as Cleveland
st. Louis and Chicago. or hold its own
in the race with the manufacturing
centres of the Middle West.
Baltimore will ever stand first in the
estimation of the world as the city Of
homes, the home of beautiful women
and gallant and courteous men. the
centre of conservatism in finance, the
chief port of entry of the terrapin, the
oyster, the crab and the canvas-back
duck and various other things which
make life worth living and the mere
vulgar struggle for wealth and position

among the leading cities on the Allan
tic seaboard, 1t cannot expect to retair
seventh place in competition with such
vulgar and sordid towns as Detroit

lander or other gentleman of the old
regime would throw away the rose to
run after the cabbage?
