During the action of the story a Spaniard dashes through the pri- vate garden of Montezuma' daugh- ter, and leaps with his horse into the pool where the royal Aztec maidens were wont to swim. The people on the bank watched the an imal go under the water, rise to the surface and go under again, three times. One of the members of the organization then realized the horse was drowning. He dived in to the pool, caught the bridle of the animal, swan with it to a runway at one side of the pool, held the horses head on his knee while a sling was placed around it's body, and lowed it to a place where it could be led ashore.

This Actor Didn't Know That Cuneo's Punch Was Loaded.


 Black eyes that did not have to be painted on for camera purposes were received by William De Vaull as Colonel Kirkland during the pro dicting of '"The Haunted Pajamas, the Metro Yorke screen adaptation of Francis Perry Elliott's novel, with Harold Lockwood as star, which will be shown at the Coliseum theatre tonight.
 Realistic fights are always expect ed in a Lockwood picture, on ac- count of the long association of the star and one of his leading players, Lester Cuneo, and their excellent teamwork. Both get thoroughly warmed up to their work of fight ing before the camera, and give and take of the combat is genuine. In this instance, however, the an tagonists were De Vaull and Gu neu, the latter playing Judge Bill lings.
 De vaull unused to the genuine ness and strenuosity of CuneO's cam era fighting, received some real punishment" that did not make it necessary for his bruises to be painted on in making "closeups." :" The fight is the result of mistaken identity. for those pajamas trans form Jack Billings into the likeness of Colonel Kirkland, who is away in China, and while under the spell of the entertainment his own father gives him a severe trouncing.

Ray Will Play Part of Young Canadian.

"The Son of the Shows" is the name that finally has been decided upon for Charles Rays photodrama of the big northwestern country in which the popular Inee screen lu- minary has the part of a young Ca nadian who seeks to avenge the murder of his father. It is red blooded story of adventure with more thrills than the average Ray picture has ever made known and it introduces the star in picturesque and novel surroundings.

Business is good and getting bet ter all the time" said Glen Bartlett today breezing into the office.
 Put that in your pipe and smoke it." he added, "and try and make a noise in Juneau like live wire, for the best is yet to come. There are any number of congressional and of ficial meetings to be held here this summer, several excursion parties will visit Juneau there will be more or less tourist trade, and the fishing business we have always with us. The latter is a golden storehouse of treas ure which we may develop and be- come rich upon.

May Oil Brick Pavement.

Several of our business men have
brick pavement in the business blocks
in DEBORAH, and there is a possibility
that it will be done. The residents
on Washington street made an ex-
pertinent Last year in oiling the pave
menb on that street and all the resi-
dents on the street were very much
pleased with the results. If the city
buys a new and up-to-date oiling
machine this spring we believe that
it would be good thing to try the
oil out. 1t can be put on thin and it
drys very nicely on the bricks and
holds the dust down in fine shape.
on Sundays when no sprinkling is
done the dust is almost unbearable,
aud when the merchants open their
stores Monday morning they have a
lot Of dust to contend with. The
pavement could be washed OH
thoroughly clean, and one side OF the
street blocked off for block Or two
and oiled and let it dry good before
driving on it, and then oil the ether
side. We believe that the oil would
give good satisfaction, and would
dry very quickly and not track into
the stores.

Beavers Teach Engineers.

A group Of Uncle Sans army engi-
neers received an unexpected lesson
In engineering at Bronx park. They
learned in the space of one hour how
to repair broken dam and prevent
a disastrous flood. Their instructors
were nine beavers, who were romping
In the water of the pond. Above them
was dam 200 feet long and several
feet high. Suddenly came a rush of
water. The swollen stream broke
into a torrent. Old man Beaver ap-
pealed to his offspring and the eight
sprang after him. They seized pieces
of timber, earth, rocks and sod. They
worked with feverish haste. Stone by
stone and timber by timber the wa
ter was slowly held back. One hour

Gas Masks and Whiskers.

To be clean shaven or bearded like
the pard is the alternative presented
to the German first-line troops. The
reason is the gas mask. Some au-
thoritles hold that the mask cannot be
relied upon to protect any but clean
shaven faces; others again hold that
dense hirsute growth within the
mask acts as an additional air filter
But 1t must be real patriarchal beard
no mere or Il days bristles, says
an article in the Deutsche Tageszei-
tung. The writer holds that the full
beard is a peculiarly Teutonic attri-
butte, and should be cultivated as such.
Besides, according to ancient tradi-
tions, it adds to ''frightful aspect" he
naively adds. Gas tests at the front
In alright cubicles are carried out

KEPT TAx-GATKRER gY
lmposts Were Levied on Almost Ev-
erythIng In England a Century
and a Half Aqo.

II is interesting to note that the en-
tertainment tax of the present day
was anticipated over $50 years ago by
the inventive genius who proposed
that all places of public diversion,
including playhouses, operas, masquer-
ades, Ranelagh, Vauxhall, Sadler's
Wells and AStley's-the famous re-
sorts of the fair and the fashionable
of his day-should be taxed, says Lon
don Tit-Bits. Another proposal was
that the very statues in the gardens
and the lakes and the groves, the
grOttoes and the temples of those days
were thick set with statues of heath
en- gods and goddesses-should have a
price put upon their heads.
Time was when taxes were put on
the watches attached to the seals that
dangled from the fobs of the beaux or
hung on the girdles that encircled the
waists of the bellies. Those who own
ed clocks were also regarded as fit
subjects for special taxation.
The "guinea-pig" tax-tbe tax a
householder had to pay for every per-
son in his household who wore a pig
tail and covered his hair with powder
had its day and passed away. SO,
too. had tax on soap-the impost
that gave Lord North his nickname of
"Old Soapsuds" a tax on salt.
Gloves and mittens were once taxed,
and so also were scores of other arti-
cles and the shops in which they were
