that this cone is probably two hun

eruptions and 1t stands with Its small
crater In lava field. 1t Is about

Fierce Savagcs OF Fort Rupert
Separated from Brisush Columbia
by the Strait of Georgia is a land
mass as big as three Of our smallest
States. 1t is called Vancouver Island,
and at Its south end Is the important
City OF Victoria. Nearly all of it Is
densely wooded, and its backbone is a
chain of mountains whose peaks in
places rise to 1000 feet.
At the north end OF this Island dwell
tho Fort Rupert Indians, who are
accounted the most primitive sayages
Of all the northwest coast. Formerly
they had a great reputation as can
nibals, fully deserved, and there is no
doubt whatever that they sull have
the man-eating habit, pursuing it oc-
casionally and when not under civil
lied observation.

Most ferocious of the demons is a
cannibal spirit. who Is constantly en-
gagged in tho pursuit OF human beings
for his table. The smoke OF his
chimney is the color Of blood. and In
his house he keeps as a servant a fab
ulous bird, which lives on the brains
Of its masters victims, cracking their
skulls with its beal.
The man who takes the part OF the
bird servant wears an astonishing cos

length. He holds in his hands strings

WOULD MAKE THIS
CITY THE ATHENS
OF MARYLAND

Annapolis boasts Of number OF au-
thors. aside from the venerable his
torian of Annapolis. DR.. Elihu s. Riley.
Not the least of the city's authors is
DR.. Samuel Garner, former county
superintendent of schools, whose first
publication was The Gerundial Con-
struction in the Romantic languages,
which was written as thesis for the
degree of Doctor of Philosophy from
the Johns Hopkins university. 1t is
a pathological treatise.
His second publication was an an
notated edition of Victor Hugo's "Ruy
Bias" which was published in 1894
and is selling well. When it came
out it was pronounced the classic edi-
ton of the day
In 1898 he was requested by the
American Book company to prepare a
Spanish Grammar" which he did, and
the same met with great success.
Shortly after the appearance of the
Spanish Grammar" the same pub
fishing company called on him TO pre-
pare an annoted edition of Breton
de los Herorero's "Quien es ella?' In
addition to the notes there is a yocab-
ulary containing the words of the text
and an introduction treating of the
Spanish theatre.
The roll grows. Annapolis would
be made the center of valuable and
profitable publications. Let our cit
izenship make it so.

AT THE THEATRES
AT THE COLONIAL TONIGHT

The extraordinary lne attraction at
the Colonial this evening. will be Mar
tin Johnston's wonderful and thrilling
picture, "Cannibals OF The South
Seas" Perhaps no adventurer, except
Jack London, has ever risked his life
more times in the search for interest
ing and unusual material than Martin
Johnston, explorer. adventurer. and
pal of Jack London. Johnston trav-
er the films he has assembled in Can
nibals of The South Seas" He went
everywhere in the South Seas that
there was a chance for different pic
lures. He sought strange types of
humanity regardless of the hazard he
encountered. and he penetrated many
wild jungles in the face of govern
mental warning that to visit them
was suicidal. Throughout his trip, his
wife. Osa, was at his side. She insist
ed upon accompanying him wherever
he went, into the midst of savage
lands with only savage guides.
"Cannibals of The South Seas" is a
picture of another world, unstaged
reproductions of life among the saw
ages of the South Pacific ocean
Johnsten's camera has brought back
even more wildly than Jack London's
In "Cannibals of the South Seas" you
will see the most savage people on
earth, under native conditions,
glimpses of their daily life, and COM
plete picture of their cannibal GUS
toms. The land where Jack London
found the material for his most abb
sorbing stories OF adventure and
where Robert Louis Stevenson found
the background for his most weird
tales. Savages who never before saw
white man. who never before knew
firearms, who might easily have been
the inhabitants of distant planet
Also an expedition of two adventurous
people who ignored the warnings of
daring travellers, and visited the
jungle lands of the worlds widest
island Women who have never worn
clothes, and who prove that both
clothes and vulgarity are the products
of a prudish civilization. And the
brutal chieftain of a murderous tribe
aroused to fury. facing the camera,
a closeup of the cruelest face you ever
hope to see. Chief Nagapate, probably
the cruelest looking human being on
the face of the earth, rules the tribe
of "Big Numbers" the most savage

fail to see this thrilling picture, for it
is truly great. Pathe News also.

Wallace Reid in dandy picturiza-

traction at the Colonial tomorrow
evening. 1t isn't at all possible that
there is such thing as having too
many millions. and yet that is just the
way Walsingham Van Dorm felt when
the sudden death of his two wealthy
uncles left him fortune of forty mil
lions, large, round, fat shining samo-
Icons. You will enjoy greatly, watch
ing Wallace Reid spend that fortune
quite as much as "Wally" enjoys
spending it, Ora Carewe is the girl
in the case, and Tully Marshall is the
absconding cashier. TOO Many Mil

fascinating story, with Wallace Reid
in role that fits him admirably.

That syncopated Jimmie Hodges
new Pretty Baby" show which made
it's New York debut last fall. will dis
pense its glories at the Colonial thea
tire next Wednesday.
By sheer force of speed, levity and
genrally happy go-lucky atmosphere
this big syncopated musical treat, pro-
vides the sort of entertainment which
every musical loving community likes
Built like miniature "Ziegfeld Fol-
lies" without any palpable imitation
thereof, Pretty Baby" just rags and
turkey trots from one frivolity to an
other. Always made enjoyable by
musical numbers that have melody and
merit, and by cast of principals that
could push far less deserving piece to
success. The luminaries are support
ed by thirty-five people
Jimmie Hodges, whose songs are be-
ing sung from one end of the coun-
try to the other is responsible for the
show in its entirety.
The cordially with which Pretty
Baby" and it's interpreters are greeted
is proof positive of its merits. The
artists and their high standing on the
musical and comedy stages is unmis-
taxable evidence that entertainment
and company are the best in the world
of make-believe. The chorus, with this
attraction are not in the world of
make-believe. The chorus, with this
attraction are not Broadway beauties
but each and every one is a dainty
daughter of the south draped in cos
tunes designed by the master of modes
and robes. No wonder Pretty Baby
pleases the eye and ear

Chosen carefully to present him to
his admirers in a new guise, there
seems little doubt that he will surprise
and please them in the story of scion
of wealth who quarrels with his father
and starts out to see the world It is
not from the window of a parlor car
that Dick Latham does, this, but from
the blind baggage" of a freight train
in company with crowd of hoboes.
In far Western town his real adj
ventures begin, however, the first of
which is when the office of sheriff is
thrust upon him by a scheming poll
tician who plans to use Dick as tool
to mask his own nefarious doings. The
actions of the tenderfoot sheriff con-
stitute the most amusing moments of
go West, Young Man"
But Dick is as true to himself as he
is to the responsibilities of his new job
and when the time comes he refuses
to heed the warning sent him by one
of the men associated with his sup
posed patron. Instead, Dick becomes
a real reformer, cleaning up the town,
seeing to it that certain girl, whom
he wins for his own, is not done out of
her property.
