The Daily Caledonian Of st. Johnsbury
is improving almost daily in the news
and general get.up and the merchants of
that town seem to be making fairly
liberal use of its columns, but with war
prices and present conditions generally,
The Caledonian must receive much
more liberal patronage from its local
advertisers if it expects to succeed.

street was broken into sometime after
Saturday night about II o'clock and the
sum of $500 in the cash register was

shelves, which would indicate that the
thief or thieves looked at, if they did
not take, some footwear. The entrance

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

, ways brought me seized me again. ways brought me seized me again. A premonltion crept over me that some time, somewhere, he skill with the weapon and her readiness to use it when her work was endangered would involve her in tragedy. l tried to shake the thought off, but the sight of Lillian's sombre face with it's lines of suffering about the mouth was not conducive to pleasant medi- tation. As if my scrutiny had sud- denly become vocal she looked up at Katherine and me.
 Pardon me, girls,'' she said con- tritely. Of course, you're eager to know of what I found out next door The head of the establishment and checked Up the operatives, and the only one unaccounted for had but g. moment before left the building hurriedly, saying he had to get a cer- tain tool before he completed some work he was doing.
 He's skilled artisan, and was os- tensibly engaged in making repairs in a room opposite the one adjoining this. He was a trusted man, however, and it so happened-or what was more probable, he had ingeniously timed his work, or seized his opportunity that he was alone on the floor to make this daring attempt in this room, which you so cleverly foiled, my dear''
 She smiled at me, and the express sion of her face compensated me for the horror I had felt of myself after emptying the bottle of carbolic acid over the hand of the man attempting to enter the library.
 But her next words gave me the key to her own deep concern.

>SELWYN COMEDY
 COMING TO PARSONS

Nothing succeeds like success Nothing very new or original about that quotation but it's remarkably true, nevertheless, and no adage no matter how time works, is more sus- ceptble of proof or more often the recipient of gratuitous verifcation. AS an example, note the progress about the country of the farce. ''Fair and Warmer by Avery Hopwood which Selwyn S5 Co.,, will bring to Parsons theater the three nights and Saturday matinee commencing Thursday, January A. Of all the plays that have been produced in New York during the last twenty years, Fair and Warmer stands at the head as a success. This fact is proven by figures. Flair and Warm er' ran for one entire year in the me- tropolis at 8 theater whose seating capacity is one of the largest in that city. For more than 300 performances not one seat was vacant, and on the last night it played the crowd of dis appointed ones who had failed to get seats was so great that it was neces- sary to call the police reserves. The story in New York was repeated in Chicago.
 Catherine Chisholm Gushing who had the difficult task of dranatizing Eleanor H. Porter's widely read Pol lyanna" stories, has written many popular comedies. Among them was one to fit the peculiar personality of May Irwin; The Real Thing" for Henrietta Crossman; kitty Mckay and Billie Burkes success of last sea- son, Jerry. Mrs. Porter, who did not believe that "PolIyanna' stories could be adapted to presentation, is glad, indeed, that Mrs. Cushing suc- ceeded without any sacrifice of mater ial incidents or dulling the joyous spirit that inspired her message to the world. "Pollyanna', with it's orig inal cast comes to Parsons theater, two nights and Wednesday matinee starting Tuesday night.

MARGARITA FISCHER
 AT LYCEUM SUNDAY

Owing to a misunderstanding an nouncement was made that Margarita Fischer in "The Girl Who Couldn't f Grow Up" would head the Lyceum program last Sunday night. The mana cement announces now that this picture, which was expected a week , ago, will be the feature number on ! tomorrow nights program. Miss Fischer is an actress Of exceptional ability and enviable reputation, and all her motion pictures have been characterized by the carrying of every detail of the plot to it's best pos sible development.
 "The Girl Who Couldn't Grow Up' is 8 story dealing with the ex- periences of a girl who seemed to have possessed all the characteris- tics of her youth even after she grew up. It is easy to imagine the pos abilities presented, and suffice to say, Miss Fischer gives another great in terpretation of the role. This will be one of long list of pictures. The Lyceunls special Sunday show, which has in the past been of the highest possible quality, will continue so this week. The Lyceum Weekly Key stone comedy, and several other sub- jects, smaller than the headliner, but of. excellent quality will also be shown.
 The final presentation of George Beban, the noted Italian character actor, will take place today, with a continuous show. Beban in his latest picture shows better than ever before the possibilities presented in the study of foreign characters on the screen. The average, usually un- noticed persons who take a big part in the world. yet do so without the blare of trumpets, and without being considered a necessary adjunct, have been deserted too much by the mo- tion pictures, but Beban makes up for that by giving something a little bet ter than any other picture of the sort.
 His manner of showing the hap penings in the life of an Italian rag picker, supported by Bob White the greatest child actor in the world is a revelation. Beban was never bet ter. and that gives an idea as to the quality of his acting. Bob White will be heard from later, if he continues as he has started in this picture The young lad seems to forget that there is a camera near, so natural are his actions. Lost in Transit" Bebans vehicle is a story dealing with the abduction of a child of rich man and the quest of the child Excel lent action is presented human in- terest being kept up throughout.
 Next weeks program will be of the usual high quality, announcement of details to be made later.

IUXBURG REPORTED INSANE.
May Be Removed to Asylum and
 Closely Guarded.

Buenos Aires, Jan. 19.-The direc- tor of the German hospital has in formed the foreign office that the con- dition of Count von Luxburg, former German minister to Argentina, has become steadily worse.
 Count von Luxburg has been in the hospital five weeks, suffering from nervous breakdown. The hospital au- thorities have urged the necessity of removing him to an asylum where he can be more closely guarded.
 Foreign office officials apparently are attempting to keep von Luxburg's condition a secret but it is reported that he is becoming insane.

VIRGINIA PEARSON
 AT FOX'S THEATER

It is Virginia Pearson at her best Thew Fox feature which is heading the show for today at Fox's theater. Miss Pearson is always welcome, for she is always entertaining, but in the present picture she shines supreme over all of her past efforts. In the first place, she has the advantage of working in a mighty good picture, under unusually clever direction, and surrounded with a brilliant cast. And her costumes are positively superb, and show her off to the best possible advantage. The story told in "Stolen
 Honor' is an unusual one. It has
 to do with a stolen painting, Whlch i is used for a pretext for dishonoring g I Virginia Lake, the role Miss Pearson plays. The reason is that another woman is in love with one of the ar dent admirers of Virginia, who is a painter of note, and the daughter of wealthy parents. She makes a copy
 of a painting hung in the Corcoran
 At Gallery in Washington and the
 jealous woman declares that Miss
 Lake has stolen the original canvas
 and substituted the copy. Virginias S
 position is rendered doubly difficult by
 the fact that on the night of the
 theft she hurries to New York to save married friend who is eloping with
 another man. If she tells where she was on the night the picture disap- pears, her friend will suffer. If she doesn't, prison awaits her. She re- osI ,1>1-
 to get both herself and her friend out of trouble, and how she accom- plishes this makes a mighty thrilling story. The new Vitagraph serial,
 "vengeance and the Woman,' can boast of the most successful opening that serial picture has ever had in
 New Britain. And it certainly is worthy of it, for it is one cracker
 jack serial. It starts right off with
 a big bang, and no one who witnessed
 the first episode will miss a single
 chapter. The stars, Carol Holloway and William Duncan, could not be
 improved upon, and their work in
 this new picture will greatly increase
 their present popularity in local movie hearts. Shadows of Her
 Pest" one of those excruciatingly funny Fox Sunshine Comedies, keeps the audience in 8 continual howl of
 hysterical laughter all during the 30 minutes it is on the screen. Will liam Fox certainly picked a winner when he started producing Sunshines, for they are without doubt the fun
 nest pictures on the market today.
 Mutt and Jeff, in "Doing Their Bit"
 amuse greatly with their burlesque
 attempts to enlist in Uncle Sans
 fighting forces, and the latest issue of
 the Pathe News brings the newest
 news of the world before our eyes.
 The show will be run continuous to-
 day. Tomorrow's feature will be Tn
 the Balance" a gripping mystery
 story by E. Phillips Oppenheim, the
 master-mystery novelist. Earl Will Hams is the star. As usual, there will be two shows, beginning at seven ana
 nine o'clock.

For the Girl Who Is Ouaiintly Smart.

distinctive of this fro~a designed for the Qualntly smart girl It is deyel. oped, in Copenhagen blue broadcloth trimmed with satin in the same col or. Deep cuffs finish the long one- piece sleeves, while braid trims the inserted pockets. In medium size the model requires 4 7A yards 54-inch ma~ terial, with E yard satin.
 With the aid of the guide the cut ting of the dress is greatly simplified and one does not need great exper- fence to attempt it. First take as much of the broadc1oth as will ac- commodate the back panel and front of the dress. Place on the cutting table or other smooth surface and along the lengthwise fold place the back panel. To the right lay the front of the dress with large "O" perforaIons on a lengthwise thread. To the left of the back panel place the collar, then opposite arrange, in the order named, the cuff, pocket and sleeve, with large 'tO'' perforations on lengthwise thread of material The belt is placed along the selvage
 To cut the back and the front pan- el, take the remaining material and turn back the edges so that the sell wages will meet as shown in the cutting guide. Both the front panel and back are placed so that the triple "TTT" perforations rest on the lengthwise fold. If desired shorter than shown here, the lower edges may be cut off from the lower edges of the front back and panels of the pattern before they are placed on the material.
 A wise placing of buttons and braid on the dress gives it a smart air.

DIDN'T LIKE HIS. CLOTHES
So American Stroller Is Locked
Up Across the Line.


Our Mexican neiglbors are
friendly enough to American
visitors under ordinary circunl-
stances, but there is one point
upon which they have decided
objections. They don't care to
see American army uniforms on
their side of the international
boundary line.
This fact was brought home
Wednesday afternoon to a Cali
fornia University student visit
ing in Nogaies, wnen he Strolled
across the line in company with
a friend, wearing a suit that
very closely resembled the raj
ment of Uncle Sans fighting
men.
The Mexican officials took
him for a soldier and promptly
placed both young men under ar
rest, and if Custom Inspector
O'Connor had not made a
prompt sally to their relief they
might have had some trouble III
making the return trip.
Explanations were made by
O'Connor, however, that con
vinced the officials across the
border Of their error, and the
rescued students pro- pity re-
turned to the shelter Of the
Stars and Stripes.
"And the next time I visit
Mexico" remarked the chap
with the near-uniforln, 'I'll
know better than to wear a
khaki suit"
