Just Like Bargain Day"

Wholesale houses in Baltimore are
beginning to present very much the
appearance they had Just prior to the
time this city Joined the dry column,
when Washingtonians swarmed there
by the hundreds and made the places
look like bargain days in a dry goods
store. Clerks are kept busy dispens-
ing liquor to men and women, a ma
tority Of the latter at some of the
places being elegantly gowned, while
in front of the stores men and women
gather an study the price lists.
In the hotel bars and saloons about
the city the proprietors are keeping
up appearances with large supplies Of
bottled goods. Their storeroom sup
plies probably are being depleted, but
their shelves and bars contain the
same number Of bottles with the ia
miliar labels. and. it is stated, many
proprietors arc far from satisfied that
Monday will DO the last day they will
be in the liquor trade. So satisfied
are they. that the President will come
to their relief that at more than one
place q picture Of tho President is dis
played.

the family decides to come to America
he takes his sword and splitting the
ring into two equal parts hands one
to his lady love with the remark:
Until these two halves are united
there will be trial and tribulation in

In Which Tony Moreno
Does Not Disappoint Us

Herbert Howe, whose sense of humor
was not left behind in the mud of
France.
Tony Moreno was born in Madrid,
and he is not Italian, as so many peo-
pie believe, but pure Castillo" He is
tonic just to look at, so we sat and
looked at him and felt better every
minute. His hair is black and wavy
and his eyes are black and fiery; he
is the color of a pomegranate and the
imagine Tony playing a guitar under
your window and singing love songs,
but you can fancy him riding Gross
country or driving in a motor race, or
flying, or wrestling, or possibly seal
ing the walls of your prison and carry
ing you away in a Stutz.
Tony has a slight accent, but only
slight, and he is confirmed urbanite.
Gust to think! tomorrow | must leave
your beautiful New York and 60 back
to California" "And, gosh. how you
dread it," we murmured
"The West is all right, but look at
New York! | suppose they can make
better pictures in California, but they
have got to come here for their ideas
That's what | came for-ideas and
clothes. Oh, there is Olive Thomas
Pickford. I must speak to her and
Jack. He is going back too. Dick
Barthelmess came on with me and he
is going to stay. Lucky dog!"
"Why don't you change your en-
ploycrs and stay here in the East if
you like it better?" we ventured.
Because the Vtagraph is the best
ever and Mr.. Smith is prince!" And
there followed long story which
proved it and involved millions. So
here, at least, is one satisfied star. And
would he strike? He would not
Neither should we if we were getting
81 900 week for a three weeks vaca-
ton.
"And do you like making serials 90
We asked. "Now, tell the TRUTH
"Well, you see, it's like this. l like
making serials, but Pm getting tired of
it now, and would certainly enjoy some
nice big features, and Pm hoping"--
But just what he was hoping we
never shall know, for right here Taylor
Holmes came up to the table, and Tony
never referred to his hopes again.
So he has gone back, leaving our
curiosity unsatished. But there are the
mails, Tony.
