THEY LOVED A BANDIT.

Up until the time he played the bandit, Silver Spurs in "The Love Mask" with Wallace Reid and Cleo Ridgely for Lasky, Earle Foxe had been merely talented and experience ed actor with no particular cinema following.
 But when Earle rode into the scenes of "The Love Mask" with his huge spurs and patent leather hair, he galloped into the hearts of some thousands of girl film fans, and, you may believe it or not, gave even the married ones some feeting regrets that they had married as they did.
 Cablegrams poured in from Baloo- chistan and Paris (Ky. and Tex.) de- manding his Bertillon and where he had served, etc. And just about that time he quit Lasky's for the effete East and Famous Players, his first Eastern appearance being with Pau line Frederick in "Ashes of Embers." |" Earle confesses that his sudden popu- larity is puzzling.
 When 1 went to Miami Military academy" he said between swapping one automobile for another, "No lady ever sent me box of bon bons.
 Tn the legit in London and America 1 never found that I had to build a trough to catch the bouquets. 1t used to break my heart.
 "Even after l broke in to the movies in 1912 and served under the Griffith banner in 1914 nobody evinced any palpitant curiosity. But since this bandit part .' he shrugged his shoulders exclusively, And now l shall play nothing else!"

OBITUARY.

Bro. J. P. Slagle was born Septem- Der 4, 1875, in South Carolina. He was married while quite young to Miss Bessie Quinn and to this union were born nine children. They moved to Arkansas several years ago and he made profession of faith in Christ nine years ago and was baptized into the fellowship of Union Grove Baptist church, August 6, 1915, by the writer. He was shot and instantly killed on the streets of Prescott, Ark, July 20, 1916, and was laid to rest in the New Home Cemetery.
 Brother Slagle was brave man, healthy in body and mind, in the prime of life, steady and progressive, broad in his views and firm and honest with his convictions, his nature being such that a remarkable change was noted after his conversion. Truly his faith was spoken of. He was good citizen, good neighbor, loving hus- band and father, consistent church member and student of Gods word Brother Slagle was faithful to his church and pastor. He was a Mission ary Baptist in deed and in truth. He died in a smiling faith, forgiving his enemies who killed him without a cause. He was shot by the McCains without any defense.
 He leaves wife, seven children, father, mother, brothers, sisters and ia host of friends to mourn his death, which is indeed great loss to the wife and children. But let us bow in humble submission to the will of him that doeth all things after the counsel of his own will, realizing that our loss is heavens gain.
 Let us live in honor to him, emu lating the many good traits of his character and ever looking forward with that fond anticipation of meet ing husband and father beyond the cares of life, where we shall with all the redeemed of God sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the Lamb, by and by. May the Lord, the Great Friend and Physician, heal the broken hearts of Sister Slagle and children and bear them up above this sad aspect of life and give them a vision of the peaceful rest of the chill dren of God in the habitation of the soul.

SETTLEMENT OF SPEAKER
 SHIP MAY BE PROTRACTED

Little Rock, Jan. 5-As the open ing of the Legislature approaches, the prospects for the settlement of the presidency and the speakership are not particularly encouraging. It is likely that both contests will go to the floor, and there may be session of protracted balloting.
 It is said that no two of the five candidates for president of the Sen ate have enough votes to insure cleo tion, and that there are ten unpledged members who are probably waiting to see how the others are lining up, so that they can espouse the cause of the strongest candidate The five candi- dates are Senators Davenport, Simms, Jones, Ruff and Garrett, and no signs of weakness are being exhibited by any of them. Unless combinations should be formed by some of them by Saturday nght, the fight will go to the floor of the Senate. The general impression appears to be that it is the field against Senator Davenport.
 There has been no change in the speakership contest since the retire ment of McFerrin in the interest of Cazort. There are still nine candi- dates in the field, and all of them are working, and expressing the most op- timistic outlook They are Represen- tatives Brooks, Cazort, Davis, Doyle, Gentry, Johnson, Norfeet, Osborne and Riggs. It is predicted that this contest will also go to the floor of the House At the present time Lee Ca zort of Johnson is generally admitted to have the best of the situation, but other candidates are confident they will be able to overcome his lead.

 The payment of the prize and the announcement of the winner were CO., incident with the release of the fourth chapter of the sequel, which announ- ces the winner on the screen. Mrs. O'Keefe was photographed for this purpose by an adroit camera man for the American Film Company, who did not betray the use for which the pict- ures were intended.
