ADJUSTMENTS.
The STRAND.

The Bluebird film, The Piper's
Price" will close its engagement at
the Strand tonight. Dorothy Phillips
is starred. Briefly, the story tells OF
the troubles of a man, who, having
married second time, finds himself
falling in love with his first wife. Two
excellent characterizations are pre-
sented by Miss Phillips and Maud
George, and although the former is
the featured player, she must divide
honors with Miss George. The two
represent totally different types OF
women, and each acts as a good foil
for the other. Their character delinea-
ton is also aided by skilful direction
and choice of incidents. William
Stowell also does some excellent act
ing, especially in his emotional scenes

THE ARGoNAuTs."

Out of the countless millions of feet
of film that has been made, it re-
manned for Edward L. Grafton to give
film, THE Argonauts," which comes
to the Pinney April 2, 3 and 4.
THE Argonauts," mammoth ten
reel photoplay, has reborn the days of
the early west. No period OF American
history is so filled with romance and
action. The cry of gold, like stamped
ing cattle, the ne'er do well and -chaff
Of the earth rushed headlong to the
diggings. Cities, like mushrooms,
grew in a night, reeking with the
vices of the world. Gambling, drink
ing, murder and worse. Each man was
a law unto himself and sure aim was
his only safeguard.
But there was another element of
men Of Puritan blood and iron will
who packed into the prairie schooner
their families and worldly goods. With
steadfast determination they turned
their faces to the setting sun to build
homes and rear their families. These
are the men who established law at
the cost of many hardships and some
life. Law and order must come before
the great west could rightfully come
into her own. So, in a wonderfully
told and beautifully staged picture
THE Argonauts" tells the story, true
to history, filled with romance and in
terwoven with a love story clean and
gripping.

The Great Unrest.

"Of all the young men who come
here, I'm sure Rupert Lounger is the
LATEST and the most no account" OBJ
served Mrs. Ramble to her daughter.
why do Oh dance with him so
often?"
"Why, he's lovely fellow!" retort-
ed Mabel Ramble. Isn't he, brother?"
Certainly" answered Bob.
Well, l don't like him." insisted
Mrs. Ramble, and I'm sure he is in
dolent. When we had the house party
all he did was to loll around and read
a book. Men like that do not make
good husbands. They are seldom
good providers.
"NOw, there's that Timothy Twin
kletoes, bristling with energy That's
the kind of man that succeeds"
"Now, mother" replied Bob,
there's where you're making mis-
take. It's very common mistake
these days. A fellow who can't sit
still is called energetic, while a fellow
who reads is lazy. It's true that
Rupert picks up book whenever he
gets where there is one. Also, it is
true he sits down to read it. If in
stead of reading a book he had run
up and down stairs half a dozen
times you would have called him ener-
getic.
That's how Twinkletoes has made
his rep for energy, but as matter of
fact all that running up and down
stairs of Twinkletoes was not due to
energy. He ran up to get his camera,
then forgot what he had come up for,
and ran back to find out. That made
four trips where one would have
DONE"
"Your friend, Mr.. Lounger, would
MT have gone upstairs at ALL argues
Mrs. Ramble. ''He would have called
up for some one to drop it down to
him. Besides, his walk shows he is
lazy. Notice how fast Timothy
Twinkletoes walks! His walk shows
he is energetic!"
mot necessarily" replied Bob. The
habit of walking fast may have been
acquired thru not getting started
early enough.
In regard to the reading, there are
lots of fellows who are too fdgety to
read. There is just as much to be
gained by sitting still in this life as by
fidgeting around, and the man who
can stick to his desk is often the one
who can do the greatest amount of
work. Besides, man like that is apt
to stick around the house nights reid
ing, with both feet On the piano, while
the energetic lobster is downtown roll
ing dice for the drinks"
Mabel shuddered but Mrs. Ramble
was not at all convinced.

They had been married but three
months and it was their first dinner
party; consequently they were both a
little fiurried when the time drew
near for the guests to arrive. She had
arranged the table herself and stood
surveying the effect.
'Do you think everything will go
well, dearie?" she asked for the UNI
tieth time.
"Of course. Why shouldn't it? I'm
really sorry for the fellows who are
not married. They have to give their
dinners in restaurants"
ooh, how sweet of you, dearie," she
gurgled. "And I'm really sorry for
the poor girls who have no nice hus-
bands" sar
She wandered around while, then
stood still and listened.
Flush! There's carriage"
"And they hustled into the living
room. But the carriage rolled on. He
looked at his watch. 1t was just
seven.
.How foolish of us! Of course, no
one would dream Of coming before the
half-hour," she said. you know,
lovey, one always says half an hour
before the real dinner hour"
Half an hour passed. Not soul put
in an appearance. The clock struck
eight. The bride burst into tears.
1--WE never been $50 insulted in my
life. My friends always accepted my
invitations before I was married"
$50 did mine, even if did nave to-
invite them to restaurants"
81 shall go home to mother and you
can go to your old restaurants as
much as you please"
ooh, don't let me keep YOU"
She rushed into her bedroom and
began piling her pretty things pellmell
into a suitcase. Then she gave cry.
Her eye fell on a heap Of white en-
veIopes in the corner of drawer.
"Husband!" she called out in a
tragic voice. "TTere are all the invita-
tions. forgot to mail them"
They looked at one another for a
moment, then he opened his arms and
she fell into them. The blissful mo-
ment of reconciliation was interrupted
by a voice from the kitchen: Would
yez be havin' any dinner tonight?"
"Oh," the bride cried, what am
going to say to cook?"

"The unlikelier a thing is, the more

To win their confidence, don't tell
them the truth-tell them lies.
tIn word, they're as illogical a lot

Smith, the coat and hat man at a
big restaurant, was suddenly taken
sick one day, and substitute was put
in his place. The substitute was urged
not to give out any coats and hats
without thoro verifcation,s and, so
when an old gentleman demanded his
hat and explained that he'd lost his
check, there was a great TODD on the
substitutes part.
But that's my hatsa the shabby,
brown one,' said the old gentleman.
It's got my initials in it-F.9X, Ga
"The substitute looked inside the
hat, and, sure enough, the initials
were there.
Humph,' he said, suspici0usly,
you might have seen these initials
somehow
"'But here they are OF my shirt,
too said the old gentleman, unbutton-
ing his vest. See? F. X. c.
"'You might have swiped the shirt
said the substitute.
"tGood gracious!" shouted the old
gentleman, and in fit of rage he tore
open his shirt and undervest. Maybe
this will satisfy you! Hey?' And 10, he
pointed to the same initials, F. x. G.,
tatooed on his breast in blue.
"The substitute stared at the tattoo
ing closely; then at last he handed
over the hat. AS he did so he said
reluctantly:
"'Well, since nature wrote them mi.
tials on your skin, guess they must
be your own for fact"
