 Marie Corelli, os whom @ne critics have wrangled without reaching a unanimous decision as to whether she is great or only "near-great," was a conspicuous exception to the rule. Miss Corelli stated that there was only one copyright picture of her in existence and she would not allow it to be used. When urged to pose for a photograph she said she sent some one else, which is not quite fair to the admirers of the author of "Thel- ma," "Wormwood," "A Romance of Two Worlds" and other tales which have had millions of readers.
 Those who have been "shot," and we are to suppose that they agreed more or less willingly, are Jerome K. Jerome, one of the few great humor- ists England has produced in modern times; Israel Zangwill, Raemakers, the Dutch cartoonist; Henry Arthur Jones, the playwright; Sir Hall Caine, perhaps England's most authoritative living novelist; the Hon. John Collier, Gilbert Cannan and Charles Garvice.
 In years to come the motion pie ture will be an indispensable adjunct to history and biography. Such epoch-making scenes, for instance, as the signing of the peace treaty at Versailles, and in fact, large part of the recent war, instead of being confined to the dry narratives of his- torians, can be witnessed by future generations on the screen. The states men of bygone era will appear, anil mated figures, as they were in life, every gesture, every shade of expres- sion caught by the camera. Fifty years hence, instead of delving into some book to get a hazy idea of the way a favorite novelist or poet, a great actor, statesman of world re- Inown, an artist, a military leader or some other celebrity appeared in life, it will be possible to see these per- sons exactly as they were through the medium of the motion picture |camera.
 The movies" have a practical edu- cative value infinitely greater than that of merely entertaining some mil lions of people each day by motion picture dramas and slapstick come dies.

From the Providence Journal.
 GN1dE story of what once happened
 as a result of the unjust imprison-
 S ment of several British subjects by the King of Abyssnia is worth re- reading at this time. In ancient epic or modern history there are few narratives of red -blooded adventure to surpass it.
 Theodore the Abyssinian, it seems paid no attention to notes addressed to him by the British government demanding that the victims of his spite be given their freedom The Ethiopian autocrat felt safe in snapping his fingues at dis tant England His stronghold at Mag dala was 400 miles from the seacoast, and the road between was rough.
 When it was found that Theodore was intractiable, Gen. Robert Cornelis Ma pier was instructed to go to Magdala and release the Englishmen. The gen. eral was not hampered with instructions as to how he should set about it, He organized his expedition with the dello- eration and thoroughness that character ized Allenby when he prepared to ruslT the Turk out of Palestine. He created a base on the hot seacoast, built docks, storage houses and reservoirs, estaa- lished a camp F miles inland, and or sanized A service of supply adequate for

THE MAN FROM cHILLICoTHE

From the New York World
 A visitor from Chiliicothe says it cost him exactly s4 in one hour for tips and excess charges when he arrived in New York. He tipped the Pullman DOT ter, the red-cap, the taxi-driver, the doorman, the captain, the bellhop, the porter, the waiter, the head waiter, the hat girl, the manicure girl. the barber shop porter and the barber, and all this in addition to paying excess chages in the taxi trip, on telephones, on news papers bought in the hotel, in barber shop charges and for an alleged service he did not get in the dining room.
 Most visitors do not require mani cures services so early in their stay But for the rest the indictment seems to be a true bill, and it is gratifying to observe that the man from Chillicothe draws it up less as a complaint than as phiiosophic statement of conditions in your wonderful city" It is only his experience in doing in Rome as the Ro- mans do
 But does it ever occur to the strangers within New York's gates who give the lavish tips and pay the excess charges for theatre seats and cabaret tables and buy their way into tne white-light re- sorts that they are merely the victims of a system of their own creation?
 It is the man from Chillicothe and the man from Oshkosh and Nashville and Kansas City who fix and maintain this tariff of tips and excess charges They fill the theatres and hotels and pre-empt the Pullman reservations, and it is most 1y on their account that the cost of liv- ing in New York's pleasure zone is pro hibitive for everybody else. They are all on millionaire status for the time of their sojourn and their scale of expen- diture throws everything out of propor- tion for the native There is, to be sure, another New York besides that known to the man from Chillicothe and his tribe. But the New York they come to see and whose folIies and extravagances they pay for and marvel at is a New York mainly of their own creation.

A man can't help the fact that he is cross-eyed. But if he wears whiskers it is his own fault.
 What has become of the o. f. beer wagon that used to stop in front of every house in the neighborhood once week? The reason father gets some coin and goes hunting for friends to help him celebrate when the first baby comes along is because he will get a gun and go hunting for the stork when the fifth baby comes along.
 A man never appreciates either his hair or his health until they pack up and leave him.
 After a fellow has held girl on his knees for few months he gets so he imagines that he can support her. A princess can't understand why it is that the eligible fellows in her home town haven't pop eyes and, adenoids like

 Through his old glasses MT. Berkman did not see American institutions ana conditions in a bad light. He was no melancholy Jacques. Upon the con trary he was a gay debonair business man. pushing the business of advertis- ing Alexander living as a fat, unclean parasite upon the ignorance of the ill- educated, sleek vocational scoundrel.r The south recalls the carpetbagger of the reconstruction period. Of such kidney is MT Berkman, person trav- cling "light' and adhering to the old military principle that the invaded ter ritory must provide the supplies of the invader, forage, shelter and cash. If there are more fools than criminals in Russia-and there is no reason to doubt that there are-Mr. Berkman should be- come a prominent Russian of the pres ent regime. He should fare as we'll as he fared in America. He should be soon in the mood to abandon the Swan song of the present moment, Didn't I ramble till the butcher cut me down." and to adopt the chuckling lyric NO baron nor squire, no man of the shire,
