LURE TO THE ADVENTUROUS
Through All the Ages Man Has Dared
Every Danger in the Search for
Beautiful Things.

Now, a thing of beauty that is rare
and difficult to obtain seems ever to
have exercised an irresistible lure to
adventurous man. 10 possess it he
will suffer the hardships of the high
est mountain climb, or risk the al
most certain dangers of disease in
tropic zones. He will dare death at
the hands Of savage enemies and pur-
sue his quest far into the regions Of
unknown wilds. >,ir.;,3:5/S, >,ir.;S$S
Into the depths of .shark-infested
seas he dives with the hope Of secnr-
ing lustrous pearl. Then to the top
most Alpine peak he climbs for a rare
specimen of the edelweiss. A glitter
ing jewel in an idols head may tempt
him to invade the sacred precincts of
an Indian temple. or beautiful flow
er lure him far into the primeval for
ests Of Brazil, Colombia or Peru.
. To this spirit the civilized world
owes not only its greatest geographic
discoveries and important additions
to scientific knowledge, but to it is
also due the discovery Of many Of
natures choicest things of beauty,
things whose practical value may be
but slight, but whose appeal is to the
artistic and esthetic sense.-National
Geographic Society Bulletin.

Everyday Fellownen.

There are. few prophets in the
world, =. few heroes. I cannot af-
ford to give all my reverence to such
rarities; want a great deal Of those
feelings for my everyday fellowmen,
especially for the few in the fore
ground of the great multitude, whose
faces know, whose hands touch, for
whom have to make way with kindly
courtesy. I herewith discharge
my conscience and declare that have
had quite enthusiastic movements Of
admiration toward gentlemen who
spoke the worst English, who were
occasionally fretful in thier temper,
and who had never moved in higher
sphere Of influence than that of parish
Overseer; and that the way in which
have come to the conclusion that
human nature Is lovable-the way I
have learnt something of its deep
pathos, it's sublime mysteries-has
been by living a great deal among peo-
pie more or less commonplace and
vulgar, of whom you would perhaps
hear nothing very surprising If you
were to inquire about them in the
neighborhoods where they dwelt.-
George Eliot.

Japanese Masks Of Shame,

One of the most unusual features Of
japanese court to a stranger is the
fact that each prisoner has his head
covered by wicker mask, more like
an inverted waste-basket than any,
thing else, the object Of which is to
prevent recognition of the prisoner, to
permit him to hide his shame under
the disguise and. very possibly, to pre-
vent him from making a bolt for lib
erty.
The sight Of prisoner so arrayed is
CHASTITY. the mask bringing up the sug-
gestion of the hangman's cap.
Once in the prisoners box, how
ever, the masks are removed, while
the prisoners sit with deeply bowed
heads In an attitude of the utmost hu-
:nility.-Boston Post.

."LITTLE BEN"-STAR,

Although no special star is fea-
turned in 1.-THE Turn in the Road"
showing Wednesday and Thursday at
the Grand, little Ben Alexander, who
plays ''Bob," can be justly accorded
high honor.
Ben takes the center of the stage
from the third reel on to the finish,
and his remarkably clever work
proves him to be real prodigy. He
creeps into the heart of the audience
with the same ease that he crawled
into the arms of the crusty old money
king, who was all trussed up like a
rib roast, expecting to be shot any
moment by the desperate strikers.
Ben has a big part to play and does
it like a little man, taking the spot
light away from the grown-ups and
making. them like it.
This little six-year-old chap has
scored some distinct success in big
productions, his most notable
achievement being in Hearts of the
World," the big Griffith production.
