 In refined, business is a little more active on account of the more liberal ar rivals of raw sugar. but much of the out-turn of refiners is taken on govern ment orders, so that the distributing trade is still behind, although normal conditions are expected in the very near

by everyone in the place. He has one ambition in life, and that is to become good soldier; and one mil itary achievement he already has learned, to play the army bugle.
 It is only the good soldier in him that makes him tolerate the idea that his father is to marry again, for he cannot conceive of anyone good enough to take his dead mothers place. Soon after the wedding, his father is called to quell an uprising of the Sioux In dians, forty miles to the South, and his new mother is left in his charge. Then the fort itself is attacked by Indians. Billy, who has hidden his stepmother in a cave in the hill side, suddenly sees that the out numbered garrison is about to sur render. Rethinking himself of his bugle, and hoping to lead the h. dians to believe his father and the regiment are returning, he blows the charge from distant knoll. What happens is one of the most dashing moments in the story.

Coming Friday--Vgnia Pearson "The Wrath of Love-

the screen. His famous "A Doll's House" is being produced by Art craft with Elsie Ferguson in the title role. This classic of the dra- ma is probably the most popular of the Ibsen works, and has been staged more often than any of his other works save Ghosts" It had it's premier in 1889 at the Novelty Theatre, London, and it's success led to it's presentation in all the prin- cipaI cities of Europe. In New York, it was presented in 1889 by the Mansfield company of players and in 1901 Mrs. Fiske selected it as the play for her starring ve- hicle at the Manhattan Theatre.
 The leading role of "A Dolls House. will give Miss Ferguson an excellent opportunity to display her latent talents, and it is not to be doubted that it will add won derfully to her rapidly growing screen popularity. Maurice Tour neur, who recently finished Maet- erlinck's "The Blue Birl' for Art craft will direct this picture.

 FIELD EA

Continuing it's policy of the past few years of giving trophies to new ly-formed clubs, the Interstate Trap shooting Association is doing it's share to aid clubs to get under way. While hundreds of trapshooting and gun clubs are formed yearly, few apply to the International Associa- tion for trophies.
 It has been the policy of the In terstate Association for several years to give trophies to clubs that have been rebuilt, reorganized or newly erected, so as to give them encour- agement and also something to shoot for. Any club applying will be ta ken care of. More than 100 trophies were given last year and the year before.
 As an additional event to the Iowa State shoot which will be held at Mason City on June IS, 19 and 20, B. F. Ebert, of Des Moines, Iowa and William Ridley of What Cheer, Iowa, will shoot for the Hazard Dou bles Target championship trophy This trophy is emblematic of the worlds title. Ridley is the holder of the trophy. He won it last June from George Nicoli, in Kansas City and defended the trophy against A H. Winkler, of Chicago, last August The competition calls for 100 pairs The HarZard trophy has been in competition many years.

 stand how gratified I felt towardsss those Southern Athletic Club boys for their great show of friendship towards me.
 The gambling clique which hadzs wagered that 1 never would show up in New Orleans-that I would nose my nerve as the time for the bout@l approached-pai it's bets the day after I arrived. It attempted to re- coup it's losses immediately afterward by betting even money-and some of them went so far as to offer~ odds-that I never would enter the. ring. v Then stories were circulated quot.. ing John l.. in fearful threats cons corning me; stories that stated John L. was like a wild man at the mere mention of my name and that haA was going to give me the worst beat ing ever doled out to human being.s These tales were spread by the gamss blers in the hope that John L.'ss supposed threats would throw scare into me, cause me to run out of the match and so enable them tor cash their bets that l would never appear in the ring. q Those tales worried some of my. friends. They came to me and asked:
 .'You will fight him, won't yots. Jim?" Certainly" I answered
 But, Jim, don't be too confident" they cautioned. Sullivan will out weigh you about B pounds. E. He's the hardest hitter that pugilism has ever. produced. No man has eyer beaten him and he is in mighty good : shape for this match" ss,sii q realize all that" I told them. But I'm confident just the same.

 About week before my fight with John l.. Sullivan I entrained at As bury Park for New Orleans. And that was the day when some of the champions most enthusiastic back CTS began to make ready to pay some bets they had made that 1 would run out" of the match. So convinced was a certain clique of gamblers that I was bluffing in my eagerness to battle with John L., that they wagered even money that never would show up in New Orleans.
 My trip from New Jersey to Louis jana was one that l always shall remember. The train stopped in most of the big cities and in each place fair-sized crowds were at the stations to look me over. But the receptions I got were none too warm People came to look me over more out of curiosity than to express best wishes. The best tipoff as to the feelings of all the people toward me is an incident which happened in Atlanta. The train stopped there short while and as it was about to pull out a rather shabbily dressed fellow reached up an envelope at me:
 Here, young fellow, take this"
 I thouht it contained a letter ex- pressing best wishes or something of that sort But after the train had left I opened it to find enclosed a note and a five dollar bill at tached. On the note was scrawled in pencil.
 You're in for a good licking and I'm sorry for you. Here's five dol- lars. It may help you to get little something to eat after the fight or back home"
 A fair-sized crowd greeted me on my arrival in the Crescent City and a delegation from the Southern Ath- letic Club met me and extended to me the courtesy of it's gymnasium and club rooms. That organization was one of the smallest of it's kind in New Orleans but I found among the boys there some of the finest, clean. est fellows I ever knew in my life The other clubs in New Orleans ig- nored by existence. John L., being champion, they strung" along with him. He was the idol; the king. was just an interloper. So the big and fashionable clubs in the city opened their doors to John L., but the latch key wasn't out for me.

Brains Needed as We'll as Beauty.

Nowadays any girl who has any pretense to good looks is told what wonder she would be on the screen and how she could make a $1 900, 0,000-more or less-a min ute if she would consent to act be- fore the camera.
 The men who have the burden of making good pictures on their shoulders-the directors-haye a different idea of it. Donald Mac kenzie, who is directing ''The Seven Pearls" Pathe's latest serial, when asked if he ever saw pretty girl on the street or in the shops, whom wanted to grab and carry out to his studio to make into a screen ac- tress, replied:
 Heaven forbid. If a girl has the personal charms that screen we'll good eyes good nose, good figure, someone tells her of it a hundred times day. She comes to the studio without being forcibly dragged there. It is then that have to tell the pretty child that 1t takes something more than phy- sical charm to make an actress. And if I engage her, it is ten times as hard to make anything of her be cause she is aware of these person al charms and relies on them in stead of on ability.
 Personal charms without brains may get by for time, but there has to be brains back of every pie ture believe that directors arc

Mary Thurman Adept
 at Designing Costumes.

Talents frequently come singly, but in the case of beautiful Mary Thursman, featured in so many of the Paramount Mack Sennete com sdies and leading lady in Watch Your Neighbor," one of the latest creations of the Sennett fun mill, there is a real exception. Aside from her athletic prowess, her un- usual talent as comedienne, her beauty and charm, she is also an accomplished designer of costumes for the various roles she is called upon to enact.
 The attire of the Mack Sennett characters is quite likely to be ex- travagant unusual. Anyone who has seen Mary Thurmans dresses and sartorial displays of various sorts in the, comedies will admit that no tyro at the game could de- sign them successfully. They com bine art with extravaganza and are at once beautiful and weird Miss Thurman's latest is 8 Chinese negligee of salmon-colored silk with black panels. It will be seen in a forthcoming picture and is calculated to make a sensation and probably start new fashion in negligees.
