What would you tatA if a great
many of the choicest gods of the
world were spread bef'rc you and you
had approximately BALI hour to load
yourself with legitimate loot?
This problem came before British
sailors whose destroyer had answered
the call of distress of torpedoed
liner. The ship was sinking slowly.
1t had been hit by two torpedoes and
could not possibly be saved. The for
ward bulk-heads still held and it was
certain that half hour remained for
the destroyer's boarding party and the,
liners crew to remain aboard and
"help themselves"
This is what happened:
One sailor took a knife, fork and
spoon of the liners best silver.
An assistant paymaster, who writes
diary in odd hours, took four bun
dies of typewriter paper.
A petty officer spent the entire half
hour trying to remove a handsome
clock in the upper-deck dining salon,
but came away empty-handed.
A cook took a carving knife.
Another cook took an easy chair.
A petty officer took an armful of fine
table linen for his mother.
Many sailors took blankets.
The ships crew were content with
their own personal kit.
In addition to usual articles in
liners dining salons and cabins, there
were automobiles on board, victrolas,
pianos and a purser's safe of the latest
model. However, nobody seemed to
waEc them, and they went down with
the ship.

Norma Talmadge Featured as
"San San" and TOY a Dual
Role-Banished With Father
Meets U. S. Officer.
SECRETLY MARRIED
Tragedy Follows, Unfolding In
teresting Plot - Daughter
Nurses Father Back to
Health.

One OF the prettiest Chinese stories
ever produced for the screen is The
Forbidden City" in which Norma Tai
madge is presented in the dual role of
"San SAN and "Toy." "The Forbidden
City" comes to the Strand theatre on
Tuesday.
In old China the currying of the EN-
peror's favor by the mandarins was
equal to the state of petty politics that
existed in the court of Louis XIV of
France. Wong Ii was the father of
the beautiful San San. The two had
been banished and We're living in a re-
mote section of the country, while
Wong Ii eked out bare existence Civ
ing lessons in Chinese to foreign stu
dents. Thus it came about that San
San made the acquaintance of John
worden. young American attached
to the United States consular depot.
The old mandarin grew fond of the
brilliant young American until he dis
covered that his daughter and Worden
had been secretly married. When Wor-
den returned from short trip he found
that Wong Ii and San San had disap-
peared. Worden was broken hearted,
but ensuing orders took him to dis
tant port and he gave San San up as
dead.
In the meantime Wong Ii, in an at
tempt to regain the emperor's favor,
offered San San as member of his
court. The emperor consented to rein
state Wong Ii in favor, but when he
sent his soldiers to bring San San to
him. it was discovered that she had
given birth to baby girl. The EN-
peror was furious and ordered Wong
Ii to his death. San San was also
killed, but the baby was saved.
Years later, Toy, San Sans daugh-
ter, makes her escape to Manila, where
she meets and falls in love with Lieut..
Philip Halbert. Toy has become a Red
Cross nurse, but when the governor,
John Worden, learns that Halbert is
about to marry Chinese girl, he sends
him to command troops on distant
expedition During his absence the
governor falls i'll and is nursed back to
health by Toy. When the governor has
rarity regained his strength he learns
that his little Red Cross nurse is no
other than his own daughter. Toy tells
him of her mothers death, and how
she was raised in the emperor's court
and later of her escape to Mania
where she met IIalbert. The events OF
his own sad life come back to Worden
and upon the return of IIalbert to his
station the governor gives his permis-
sion for the wedding, which is consum
mated at his bedside.

of requesting them not to winter in
town. But they were met with the
question from other people asking what
they based their objection on and 1t
was found that some drunken fellow
not connected with the Workman show
had committed some offense that was
blamed to the show people. 1t was also
pointed out by these DIRECTORS that the
same order OF request that they were
talking of presenting to the city council
might be presented to them; that any
citizen might be asked to leave town;
that the city council nor any other
body had the right to tell the show
people or any other citizen to leave
town or that their presence was not
desired
ALL PROFITABLE CUSTOMERS
One of the merchants said at the
time that there was always some shop
lifters in town when there was q car
lnval show and that probably shoplift-
ing would be in evidence all winter. In
making the rounds some few days ago
to see how the people felt about all
these matters now, it was found that
the only trouble that the merchants
had had with shoplifters was from our
own people, chiefly women who lived
in the town and are eminently respect
ed t?) No complaints Of any kind
could be found with the conduct OF
anyone connected with the show and
n good many OF the merchants stated
that so far as they knew the trade of
the show people had been very salts
factory and profitable. Some of them
went so far as to say they were among
the stores best customers; some said
their sales to the show people had
amounted to hundreds of dollars and
that it had been very profitable to have
that much buiness added to their win
ter sales. Some who declined to sub
scribe at that time stated that they
had not had any business from the
show people and from a business
standpoint did not know that they were
in town.
SPENT MONEY FOR REPAIRS.
Mr.. Waugh, the manager of the show
reports that their expenditures for re-
pairs on their outfit during the winter
and down to the present time amounts
to about $4,000 and says that nearly
all of the material entering into that
construction was purchased from the
Blackfoot dealers. They sent to Chi
cago foG some barrels of paint and they
employed mostly their own men to do
the painting and repairing, but that
much population was added to the
town by the reason of their wintering
here and for the next couple of weeks
the town will be filling up with the
other 200 people that are coming to
train for their part in the weeks enter
