Marta, little seamstress, her pretty
head turned by her desire for fine
clothes and fine surroundings, sacri-
fees love. Her ambition attained, she
is possessed of everything the world
can give-excepting love. And then
she sacrifices everything that am
bition had gained for her and wins
love-
This is the fascinating theme of
Miss Ambition" the Vitagraph Blue
Ribbon Feature, which will be the at
traction at the Republic theatre to-
morrow. Corinne Griffith, beautiful
and popular star, has the featured
role, that of Marta, the seamstress,
who sat at her sewing machine and
dreamed that some day she would be
a grand dame and wear dresses like
those which she made. In the sup
porting cast are Walter McGrail, Betty
Blythe. Templar SAKE, Fred Smith
and Harry Kendall.
There are many highly dramatic
situations, especially that in whcih
Martas husband, realizing that he has
lost his position in society through
his marriage to former seamstress,
turns on his bride and in the quarrel
which follows, a statue of Ambition
for which Marta had posed. is over
turned, and he is crushed to death
Freed and wealthy, but yearning
for the first love which she had left
behind, Marta secretly sacrifices her
entire fortune to help him out of
financial straits and returns to her
furnished room. and there he seeks
her out.

, Wonders Of the Pole Star.
From the Rehoboth Herald.

g. Most people. IL they know nothing else
of astronomy, at any rate know the pole
star, the one star which seems to keep
Its place in the heavens without move
ment of any kind There are a great
many, however, who do not know what
O wonderful thing It Is.
In the first place, II can be seen when
looked at through a good telescope to be
two stars and not one. There Is one
fairly bright one, what is known as the
second magnitude, and another Of the
ninth magnitude close to it. But that is
not all. The brighter Of the two Is real
ly three stars revolving around one an
other, or, rather, round their common
center of gravity. like three children
playing ring a ring Of roses" This Sc
cret Is revealed to US by what Is per-
haps the most astonishing Of all scien-
tifc Instruments, the spectyoscope, 1t
not only tells US what the stars are made
of, but whether they are moving toward
US or away from US. 81
When o stand facing the star you
are always facing the north. The rea-
son that it does not appear to move as
the others do rs that 1t Is nearly in line
with the axis Of the earth. It's distance
from us is enormous. This can be
judged from the fact that although the
Garth in its journey around ths sun is
today about 100, 0Q9a. 900 miles fsom where
IT was six months age that makes no
appreciable difference to its distance
from the pole star. II must therefore be
many times 100, 900, 900 miles away.

FARMER HAD EXCITING
EXPERIENCE IN WATER

washington Springs, s. D., June %.
Howard Shulenberger, a farmer liv-
ing in Logan township near here,
passed through a narrowing experience
during q recent rain storm. Last
spring one of the heavy rains washed
out a culvert near his farm. This had
neve been replaced and a small pool
Of water had collected. When Mr.
~Shullenberger was crossing this Sec
ton of the road he found the rainfall
had transformed the small body Of
water into a raging torrent. The cur
rent was so strong that it carried the
team and buggy down stream to a
woven wire fence where one horse
was drowned. Mr.. Shullenberger sue
ceeded in getting the other horses out
Of the fence and swan ahead of them
for about 40 yards, cutting fences, until
he finally got them out Of the water.

GREGORY NOT PLEASED
WITH ELECTRIC SERVICE

Gregory, s.. D., June 30.-The au-
thorities 81 Gregory have issued an
ultfmatum to the Tri-State Utilities
Company, which furnishes Gregory
with electric lights and electric power.
Fol some weeks there have been bitter
complaints concerning the service fur
nished by the company. In answer to
these complaints the company agreed
to install a new engine in its plant at
Winner and carry an increased current
to Gregory through heavy power wires.
The fact that this would leave Greg
DRY at the end Of a transmission line
30 miles long does not appeal to the
city commissioners. They have noti-
fled the company that a suitable plant
must be installed in Gregory, and that
upon failure Of the company to accede
to this demand the franchise will be
Cancelled and the town will install an

Sometimes 1t happens that children
lose the sense Of discrimination be-

clarity their ideas without implanting
a sense Of guilt.
II was discovered that a hitherto
truthful child was beginning to make
misstatements, evidently not for the
purpose OF deception, but entirely
through confusion Of thought. I had

broke in. So I told him the facts of
the development Of the chrysalis as
briefly and definitely as possible. When
I had finished, thinking this a fitting
opportunity, I explained the difference
between fact and fiction. telling him
that we should let people know whether
what we told was really so, or just q
story or joke.
The following incident shows his
manner Of applying my careful defini-
ton. He told his aunt that he had
seen two squirrels running toward
each other on a branch Of a tree. They
had their mouths filled with nuts, and
they ran so fast that they bumped

After an effective pause he added:

The other W. victims were Knute
Olson and Arthur johnson, both Of near
Hetland. They were drowned in the
McDowall swimming pond, just west of

edy was impending was when other
swimmers noticed Olson trying to as

difficulty. Olson gave his life for his
friend, for they both went down to-

Olson and his brothers had been laying
