Luke McLuke Says.
Being an intelligent man you have
often noticed that the delay Is always
on the other end of the line.
Always be punctual when you make
an engagement. 1t will give you a
half hour of leisure while you are
waiting for the other fellow to show
up.
We hate to revise a saw that has
stood the test Of many centuries. But
the truth Of the matter Is that love of
other peoples money Is the root of
most evil.
There are so many nice dogs that 1t
Is hard for a man to believe In the
theory Of transmigration of souls.

A mug whose clothes wero In tatters,
One day a-begging went:
He mooched a guy for a nickel
With which to pay his rent.
The guy looked the poor mug over,
And his hand in his pocket went:
And when it came out with a nickel,
A thrill through the mug 1t sent,
AS the guy held on to the nickel.
Tho mugs fingers began to twitch;
But the guy held on to the nickel.
There seemed to be some kind Of
hitch,

man,

But what good will q nickel do you
Without a penny to pay the war

Strong Contrasts in
"Their Compact"

Scenes of dramatic intensity
abound in "Their Compact"
Metros Super-Featuce starring
Francis X. Blshman and
Beverly R&,:.',. which VII he
seen at the Nogales Theatre to-
day and tonight. One OF the
closing tableaux, in which Hor-
ton, the mining camps evil
spirit succumbs to a tragic death
in tn desert, is one of the most
powerful ever screened. AS a
sort of poetic Justice. he rac:;s
mis- death at the hands of the
woman he has lured from home,
SO that it is his own wrong
doing which proves to be his
Nemesis.
The desert country and the
rough mining towns are shown
in "Their Compact" in contrast
to the scenes of New York life
in which James Van Dyke
Moore (Francis x. Bushman)
originally moves. Going West
ward, the memory of bad wo-
man is erased from his heart
by the winsome smile of a good
one. Mollie Anderson, played
by Beverly Bayne. Soon he is
suing for her favor with an
enthusiasm the fashionable wo-
men of society could never
arouse in him.
Good and evil influences bat
tie in the primitive mining town
of Silvervill, and "Jim" Moore
has need of all his superb
physical strength. Of mental
courage he has unusual need.
For that is the central idea in
"Their Compact"
