a thrilling story of Love, Politics
and Gambling, a sensation in five

Monday and Tuesday Fannie Ward
will be seen in Our Better Selves"
a drama of Remuneration in five SPLEEN
attraction featuring Harry Carey in
The Outcasts of Poker Flats" Bret
Harte's famous classic.
What gives promise of being m
of the most human ~photoplays of the
current year is announced for pres
entation at the Ditmas Theatre Mon
day and Tuesday. 1t Is Bret Harte's
immortal THE Outcasts of Poker
Flat" featuring the all-masculine
good literature the world over have
read Bret Harte's great book and
needless to say these followers Of
Harte will want to see all his won-
derful characters in the book-John
Oakhurst, Tommy Sophy, The Ouch
| ess, Mother" Shipton, Uncle Billy,
Cameron and others, live and breathe
on the screen.
1t is doubtful If among the many
hundreds of stars, mere actors and
would-be-actors in studios today,
that one could be found that would
better fit the manly role of John Oak
hurst, the honest gambler in Tho
Outcasts of Poker Flat" than Harry
Carey. This efficient actor by leaps
and bounds has come to top as a
| virile capable star, and now he has
the big role of his career and no
one can gainsay, after viewing his
portrayal of the difficult role of Oak
hurst, that he was the ideal actor
for the part. Indeed, If the beloved
Bret Harte himself were alive to see
Carey as Oakhurst it would not be
amiss to say that the great author
would be pleased.
Certainly no unprecedented party
could accuse Miss Fannie Ward OF
any diminution of her emotional
| powers as expressed on the screen In
the extra selected star p~hotoplay
Our Better Selves" at the Ditmas
Theatre Monday and Tuesday.

kindest cut of all.
Exactly what will happen to
this patrolman for his reflection
upon his fellow members OF the

he was still holding down his
new Job in the bureau Of uni
forms at headquarters.
In the office of the bureau
there are FIVE clothing dummies
all fitted out with Respondent
uniforms. The initiated work
ers In the place have learned by
long experience that these dunn
mics are not members Of the
force, but the new man entered
the place unwarned.
There stood the five dummies
as If at attention, and being I'M
able to discern the difference
between them and real cops the
new man fell right into line and
assumed the same attitude.
After holding this position for
about five minutes he nudged
the next dummy and asked:
"How long do we have to keep
this up?"
In reports of the matter the
patrolman's name was deleted,
for the police are strong believ-
ers In secrecy nowadays.

swords of Honor.
CFrom The Youths Companion.

tFrom The Youths Companionl
Although Congress gave General
Pershng vote OF thanks and the
permanent rank of general. il decided
mol TO present him with Il beautiful
and costly sword OF honor. That was
not precisely a slight for. though in
the burst of national eXultalion that
followed the battle of Manila. Con
sreSs voted sword to Admiral
Dewey. il has not been in the habit
Of honoring all lis victorious com
manders in that way Neither Gen
eral Grant nor General sherman got
swords from Congress. although they
cot them from several cities and
companies of private citizens who
wished TO do them honor.
II is on the whole more common
for cities than States to choose this
method OF recognizing high military
distinction; that perhaps is because
nations have certain highly priced
decoration to bestow. whereas CRATE
full cities have not. And so il falls
out that, although General Pershine
did not get a gold-mounted sword
froln his own country. he will not
have to do without one; for the City
of London has given him very hand
some blade decorated as to the ham
die with diamonds and rubies. and
bearing on one side the figure OF
Britannia and on the other that ol
Liberty. together with the arms both
of London and of the United States
Paris has similarly honored tn
three marshals of France, FocN

swords are handsomer and more re-

art than General pershins's blade;
they show ere originality ore
grace and iNore ima gnation in thoil
design. which will perhaps aston =
