There is a great shortage of hay in

it is certain that hay will command a
good price this coming winter.

AT THE PALACE.
DOLLY.

Did you ever wake up in the middle Of the night with snorting dragons and screeching locomotives doing a bunny hug right on your solar plexus If so you can imagine how John Davis felt one night when awakened from a peaceful Slumber to see a dreadful dirk, popularly known as bowie knife, descending seemingly from mo- where to pierce him through the heart.
 This is one of the countless thrilling scenes in t"The Spear of Malice," first episode of the new Vitagraph serial, "Perils of Thunder Mountain" in which Antonio Moreno and Carol Holloway are jointly starred. The fact that this dread prairie weapon seems bent on forcing it's way to the herOs heart without a human hand 10 guide it, so that the intended vic tim can only clutch the slippery blade and thus exert what strength he can, which. lying on is back, is little enough, to avert death, furnishes a real mystery.
 What or who is it that seeks the life of John DaVis--and wherefore? You must see this episode to get an inllling of the strangest circumstance that ever beset an heir to mines and millions. This is a story of the west, with the strength of the righteous pitted against ;he cupidity or the evil, and with a primitive daughter of the mining settlements to add further zeSt to the strife of men.
 See it at the Palace every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

GALLANT, ACCORDING TO
STORY TOLD IN PARIS

Paris, Sept. 2S.-They are telling
story about Arthur Balfour, the Brit
ish Foreign Secretary, which shows
that he is only half a gallant.
AS change from the labors Of the
conference, and from his passionate
pursuit of tennis, Balfour mingled with
the Victory parade crowd. Whilst
walking along the boulevards he was
suddenly surrounded by three lovely
young women, who suggested he
should pay for some beer. Rather
taken aback, he agreed, and the four
sat down outside a cafe. The states
man called for four glasses, paid for
them and Immediately drank his own.
Then, to the complete discontinue Of
the three Parisiennes, he hurriedly
arose, doffed his hat and walked
away without word.
