Quality of knowledoe counss.

What Is needed to elevate the eow Is, not that a uan should know all that has been thought and written in regard to the spiritual nature-not that a man should become an e1cy. clopedia; but that the great idea, in which all discoveries termsnate, which sum up all sciences, which the philos' opher extracts from infinite details, may be comprehended and felt, quotes William Ellery Charming. It is not the quantity, but the quality of knowl edge, which determines the minds dig. nifty. A great mind is formed by few great ideas not by an inflD- ity of loose details. 1 have kncwp very learned men, who seemed to uie very poor in intellect, tecause they had no grand thoughts.

2,000 PEOPLE SEE
 FEAST Of BERLIN''
Overflow Crowds at Orpheo to Wit. ness Picture Shown Here
 by the Rotary Club.

Something like 20O0 people saw "The Kaiser the Beast of Berlin" at the Orpheo thiatre yesterday fahd last night, many of them coming from distant points in this and ad- joining counties to view this great film portrayal of the leader of the Huns. There wasn't one who saw it that did not go away feeling that if the world is to be free this beast and his followers must be crushed, and that they'd like to have an active part in the crushing. Hoots, misses jand sneers greeted the appearance of the kaiser's likeness on the screen and small boys bombardei it with spitballs, while cheers rang out when the young German officer smashed the beast on the jaw, and when the father of an outraged Bel gian girl strangled Prussian brute. When the American troops appeared, with their Ion to Berlin" signs, the audience went wild.
 The house was crowded at both the afternoon performances, and was filled long before the time for the z o'clock D. m. show. They kept coming until there were about 200 waiting until the night house emp tied, so they could see the second nigh performance. Autos lined the streets for two blocks from the thea tre.
 One old gentleman was 20 minutes early. He said he'd go in and wait, as he and a friend had motored 45 miles to see the picture and he didn't propose to be disappointed. Crowds from Redfield, Altheimer, Sherrill Grady, Star City and other points saw the performances last night.
 The Rotary club was commended by many for giving the people of this section opportunity to see the pie ture for 25 cents, as the admission in other cities has been 50 cents and $1.
 There will be six shows today, in- cluding morning performance be- ginning at 10 o'clock

It would be difficult to find, in the whole range of drama and opera, a piece that has won more lsignal re- nown than "La Tcsca," which is Paul inc Frederick's newest Paramount pie ture showing at the Best theatre to- day. Written by Victorian Sardou, upwards of thirty years ago, express ly for Sarah Bernhardt, it was in. this play, later adapted for the operatic stage, that she made one of the great est successes of her wonderful career.

 TO PAY FINES OF $165

Twelve offenders m munlclpal court yesterday brought in $165 in fines and forfeits, which ranged from $5 in the case of Robert Rufus, charg ed with disturbing the peace, and who failed to appear, to fine of $50 in the case of Grady Porter, caught car rying pistol. Other cases dispos- ed of were: John Dukes, drunk, $25 fine; Grady Porter, drunk, $10 fine; J. Murphy, drunk, $10 forfeit; Robert McClain, committing a nuisance by failing to pick up broken bottles from a case which dropped from a wagon, $5 fine; Sarah Bryant, dis turbing the peace, $10 fine; Buck Johnson and Fannie Corley, violating section TAP; Ivey Keene, and Dixon Holloway, trespassing, $1O fine each. w. T. Bozarth, assault and battery, $1O forfeit. Charges of assault and battery against Clarence Bozarth, w. s. Elder and Joe Elder, all growing out of fight, were dismissed.
 There is a story with moral at- tached to the arrest of Porter Grady, who paid fines for being drunk and for carrying pistol. Grady was on a street car Saturday night, when his actions attracted the attention of Judge Earl s. Wood, also a passen- ger on the car. Judge Wood tried to quiet the young fellow, but was unsuc- cessful, Grady demanding to know "Who are ypu?" The municipal judge retorted You'll find out Monday morning." Thru the instrumentality of Officer Ben Brannon, Grady learn ed the identity of the young man who tried to quiet him, and it cost him just $6O.
