At Coliseum Theater.

"The Birth of a Nation, D. w.
Griffith's massive spectacle, coming
to the Colisuem theater August 20,
81 and Sept. 2, is the largest and most
important production of a decade,
yet not word is spoken throughout
the performance of nearly three
hours.
Music supplies the absence of
speech, mechanical effects and real
ism, whilst the wizard of the screen,
David w. Griffith, unfolds in 10000
feet of film the thrilling romance
of the War between the States and
the Reconstruction of the South
land. Some idea of its magnitude
may be had from the fact that
$4,000 actors and 5000 horses took
part and that the staging of this
great Outdoor" drama cost half a

is a direct descendent of Charles
Carroll, the Maryland signer of the
Declaration of independence. Mr..
Griffith is the son of the brigadier
general of the Confederate army.
For every character, however small
Mr.. Griffith has found just the per-
sonality needed. After that his
mastery direction made each one
give a perfect Characterization of the
widely varying roles. The result
was not acting, but life itself. Such
realism is never seen on the old

CHAPTER VIII.
Nine Days in Luxembourg

I WAS now heading northwest and
thought that by keeping that course
l would get out of Luxembourg
and into Belgium. where l expected TO
be little better off, because the people
of Luxembourg were practically the
same as Germans.
One of the experiences I had in Lux

ing very weak. 1 came to a small wood
with plenty of low underbrush, and ]
picked out a thick clump of bushes
which was not in line with any paths,
crawled in and lay down to spend the
day.
The sun could just reach me through
an opening in the trees above and took
off all my clothes except my shirt and
hung them on the bushes to dry in the
clothes around correspondingly, because.
tired as 1 was, 1 could take only cat
maps.
That afternoon 1 awoke from one OF
these maps with start There were
voices not a dozen feet from me! My
first impulse was to jump to my feet
and sell my life as dearly as l could, but

PeepinS through the underbruSh,
could just discern two men calmly chop
ping down a tree, and conversing as
they worked. 1 thank my lucky stars
that l had not jumped up on my first
impuse, for I was apparently quite safe
as long as l lay where / was.
II then occurred to me that if the
tree upcn which they were working
should happen to fall in my direction It
would crush me to death! 1t was tail
enough TO reach me and big enough to
kill me if il landed in my direction. and
as l could only see the heads of the
men who we're chopping 1t down. | was
unable to tell which way they planned
to have ii fall.
There was this much in my IA
vor: the chances of the tree falling in
lust my direction were not very
great and there was more than an even
chance that the men would be wise
enough 10 fell it so that it would not,
because if it landed in the bushes the
task of trimming the branches from
the trunk would be so much harder.
But even without this feeling of Sc
curity, there was really nothing else I
could do but wait and see what fate
had in store for me. l lay there watch
ing the top of the tree for more than
an hour. Time and again | saw itsway

Like Being Hit
By Rattle Snake
Says that every time you cut
or pick at a corn you
invite lockjaw

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison are
Aow told by a Cincinnati authority to
use a drug called freezone. which the
moment a few drops are applied to any
corn, the soreness is relieved and soon
the entire corn, root and all, lifts right
out with the fingers, without one particle
of pain.
This freezone is a sticky substance
which dries the moment it is applied
and just loosens the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the surround
ing tissu, or skin. He says a quarter
of an ounce of freezone will cost very
little at any of the drug stores, but this
is sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You are positively warned that cut
ting or picking at corn is suicidal
habit.-(Advt)

Nothing But a Woman
(By S. E. KiSer, Editor Dayton NewS.)
She is nothing but q woman, fair. mys-
terious ami sweet,
Given all the Turing graces that make
loneliness complete;
There is music in her laughter and her
signs are Swccter yet,
With the charm THAI makes US wonder
and remember ard forget:
Elusive, tempting weak,
Being all that man may seek,
Fearing little woes, but steadfast when
disaster must be met.
She is nothing DuC woman in whose
breast love is aglow
AS her child is flught the lesson you
and ] learned long ago;
From her lips he learns the wisdom
that ennobleS and that stands
Firm against outworr. tradition, filling
Reasons rev demands
Just 4 woman VINO would give
More than life to let him live
Who is sanctifed and strengthened by
the soft touch of her hands.
She is nothing but a woman, fit for
heaven, but unit
For a seat where pious bishops and
unrighteous laymen sit;
Fit to bear the caesars children, fit TO
make the world complete,
Fit to be the Savior's mother. fit to
guide His baby feet
But a woman still, alas,
And unqualified to pass
Through the portals of the councils
where the all-wise brothers meet

attend to me promptly in case of sick

L certainly feel sorry for the woman
who is on a farm and does not take
an interest in the stock, poultry and
pigs. Crochet and embroidery do very
well for pastime. but don't let it absorb
too much attention. It's bad for the
eyes as well as for ones disposition.
Work is often actually sighted to en-
able one to get the crochet finished. If
one stays in the house all of the time
one is apt to get morbid. There is no
doubt that there is truth in the little
Jingle:
Mans work is hard, vexatious, slow,
Oftentimes in the completing;
But when a task is finished. though,
There isn't much repeating.
