Robert Warwick and Elaine Hammerstein
Friday.

The two popular stars who created such
fine impression in their recent play
''The Mad Lover" Robert Warwick and
Elaine Hammerstein will be offered Fri
day in 'The Accidental Honeymoon.
If an accident has not crippled the auto
mobile in which pretty girl was escap-
ing from an uncongenial marriage, Robert
Portland, an artist, would have succeed
ed in carrying out his design on suicide.
As it is, he goes to help the girl and falls
so deeply in love with her that he thinks
no more of suicide.
Everything imaginable comes up to
prevent the young couple from marrying
and, as a matter of fact, both have to
feign accidents and land in an infirmary
before they are able to frame up happy
ending. 1t is picture which abounds in
romantic incidents, adventure and good,
wholesome comedy

DECLINED DICKENS COPY.
One Printing Firm Refused so P. G.
Increase to Set His Manuscript.

From the Detroit News.
Among the many distinguishing
traits of Charles Dickens was his
inability to prepare manuscripts which
could be read with an accuracy or
positors assigned to "set" them. James
Howard, a former compositor in the
printing house which published Dick
ems Edwin Drood," found occasion
recently to make some remarks on the
subject.
Ills writing was just impossible -
says Mr.. Howard. Our firm recog-
nized the difficulties of our task and
allowed us SO per cent extra payment
for the work. But this inducement
did not attract us. There were about
Brood and we were all anxious to
get other work to print. Our atti-
tude toward Dickens was, I believe,
reflected in his attitude toward US.
We said very unkind things about
him and he reciprocated.
1--WE did the best we could with
the manuscripts that came along. We
used to hold long discussions as to
the meaning of some mark on his copy
and often we could not decipher it
and had to make guess. The proofs
were sent to him and he used to tear
them to shreds. When the corrected
proofs came back they were in a
worse state than his original copy.
Dickens had corrected them beyond
recognition. 1t was obvious that he
could not read his own writing, for
the changes he made were nothing
like the original.
Dickens used to write some very
sarcastic comments on our work, but.
fortunately, we were not always able
to decipher even those"

ference OH retirement for the civil
service of the United States, is of the
opinion that the civil service retire
ment bill now pending on the calen-
dars of both House and Senate, will

Mr.. Alcorn said yesterday that he
does not believe members of the House
and Senate will allow this important
legislation to be overlooked. when
the great benefits that will be derived
by the government when this law is
enacted is taken into consideration
he said yesterday. Il cannot believe
action will be delayed much longer.
There are many thousands of super
animated disabled employees who
would be retired. and it would be the
means of retaining several hundred
young and more efficient employees in
the service.
IF this bill is not business prop
osition, why do large corporations
and industries throughout the country
retire their old employees, and in a
great many cases pay the entire cost
r am sure Congress will take up this
bill at an early date and enact it into

Trapping Moles.
From the London Mail,

From the London Mail.
Owing to the indefatigable adver.
tising methods of many moleskin
firms, the humble mole is now recog-
nized as the foremost British fur
bearing animal. Its trapping, there
fore, provides very lucrative employ-
ment for many people in agricultural
districts.
The mole catching season begins in
November and ends about the begin
ming of April, when the skins become
badly marked and the fur of poor
quality. February and March are
the best trapping months; then the
moles run well and are easily caught.
An iron mole trap consists of two
curved jaws, forced together by a
powerful spring; to set the trap an
iron trigger is lodged between the
jaws. holding them apart. The set
trap is inserted in a mole run, found
between two mounds of earth by the
aid of a pointed stick, and is placed
so as to bring the trigger in the way
of any passing mole. The trap is
then covered with earth and moss to
exclude light from the run.
A mole meeting the trigger of a
trap is forced either to burrow round
it or to knock it aside. The latter
course Is usually chosen, the trap is
sprung and the mole held in the iron
jaws. from which escape is practical
ly impossible. Z

War Junk Made Useful.

The sale by the War Department of

about So per cent of the original cost
shows remarkable public economy. 1t
but a decidedly different matter to
dispose of them advantageously un-
der peace conditions. AS it is, unused
munitions of a certain kind must
necessarily represent total waste,
but copper and brass material chem
icals, oil, lumber, commissary sup
plies, etc, remain merchantable, and
mean a substantial reduction of the
country's enormous war bill.
The sale of hand grenades for con-
version into dime savings banks IL
lustrates the curious uses to which
discarded implements of war can be
put. The millions of brass cartridge
cases may meet some demand as art
novelties. The news that a steamship
has brought a cargo of German he'll
NETS to Wales for fabrication into
knives, forks and spoons reveals the
infinite possibilities of transferring
the junk of war into the utensils of
peace.
Never before has war provided such
opportunities for beating swords into

GETS AID
FROM ALL PARTS OF US.
Head of Relief Committee of
Storm-swept City Says Fund
May Reach $4,000, 900.

20.-Actual funds or assurance of
financial support for rehabilitation
of storm swept Corpus Christi are
coming in from every part OF the
country, with officials estimating that
the total at the present rate might
reach s5,o00.OO0.
Roy Miller, chairman of the citi-
zen relief committee, said the coun-
try-wide response to the appeal for
aid had exceeded expectations, but
cautioned against any impression
that the need for funds has been en-
tirely met.
One week of horror for Corpus
Christi ended tonight with the city
rapidly emerging from the chaos
wrought by the terrific storm and
tidal wave that swept in from the
gulf last Sunday.
Desolation reigned tonight over the
broad sweep of North Beach, where
week ago stood the show places OF
this resort city; scattered along the
beach area in the business section
are heaps of wreckage, all that re-
mains of many industrial plants.

pus Christi might be impaired ere eS-

rise of from ten to twenty feet was

which the water supply is obtained,
about twelve miles from here.
