1T the home of his parents in Crossville,
Tennessee. Robert was born April
70, 1902. IN the home in which he died.
His illness was short. only a few
weeks. Previous TO that h. had been
strong both mentally and physically.
His illness was of such character
that It dehed the skill of the most
learned surgeons; he suffered intense
pain and seemed to realize for some
time that the inevitable result of his
suffering mus ,be death; yet with the
true spirit and beautiful faith which
characterized him throughout lite, he
bravely faced the transition; yes, even
almost welcomed it in the midst of his
awful agony, and with absolute con-
fidence in the future he passed lnto the
Valley of Shadows. and to the home
of those that belieyeth on Him. -
1t may be truly SAID, that never has
the death of young man in this COM
mumty more touched the hearts of old
and young alike: T0 the young he
was an intimate. trusted and loving
companion to such extent that this
love and affection communicated itself
to the parents of all those whose chill
dren came in contact with nm.
All that the people could do to as
suage the grief OF parents and rela-
tives was done. Loving hands stood
ready to meet every need. Tender
sympathy manifested itself in the
many ways such occasions suggest.
Floral tributes expressed the esteem
OF companions AND friends left behind.
The funeral services, conducted py
Judge c. Z. Snodgrass and Rev.
4. E. Newton, at the home of
the deceased, 50 largely attended by
sympathizlng. friends, were beautiful
tribute to beautiful life.
AS Boy Scout, Robert was loyal,
brave and tue, and had earned
medal for saving the life of one of
his boy friends; as student, he was
active ana alert, with a well devel-
oped mind and perceptive powers be-
yond his years, with life Of promise
before him; as man, lie was manly,
honest, honorable, clean, courageous,
and Chris ian; and in the light of
these tn gs, believing the law of God !
is progr e5sion throughout eternity, We
know at he passed into the life be-
yond v tn the credit Of having made
use q all his talenti ard entitled 10
the full reward; and to his relatives
and frlerds we cannot refrain from
saying, m the words of Hortious
Bonar:
"Try way, rot nine. q Lord,
However dark it bel
Led me by thine own hand,
Choose ont the path for me.

paxi. Theatre Nsxt wsk.

In La Belle Russe, the William Fox feature taken from the celebrated dramatic success by David Belasco which will be shown at the Davis the atre Monday and Tuesday. Dheda Bara is called upon to act double role in the scenes presenting the pow erful climax of the play. This. of course calls for a doube exposure. since she appears on the the screen at the same time as twin sisters.
 While this ticklish bit of photo- graphy was being done, when the de- viation by hairsbreadth meant ruin of the film, one of the property dogs in the Fox studio, in collaboration with a cat, did it's best to spoil things, and came within an ace of seriously injuring Miss Bara. As it was. only the superb boise of Miss Bara and her ability to withstand the temptation to give heed to extraneous happenings and noises when she is acting, saved the situation.
 The cat went up a stairway at the side of the sceno in Deepdean Castle wherein Miss Bara is challenged to prove that she is not La Belle Russe, an infamous courteSan. and is con- fronted by the twin who claims her sisters identity. When the dog gave chase the cat leaped for the nearest
 point of refuge-which happened to
 be an arc light on an eight foot stand. The stand crashed within a couple of feet of Miss Bara, but while the cartoons sputtered and sent out streaks
 of flame until the current was shut off, she went on with the scene as though there had been no interruption The other big feature is The 18th
 Chair, a 6-part picturization of Bay
 ard Veillers' greatest of all mystery plays. Ben Turpin in Salome Versus Shenandoah. side-splitting Sennett comedy, completes the show.

Most Rubies From Burma.

The greater part of the worlds rubiss are derived from the mines of the Mogok Valley in Burma, where much modern machinery and the veyr latest tools are employed to facilitate the examination of large amount of byon, or ruby bearing clay. Nearby in the valleys of the Burmans, the search for rubies is conducted very much as it was centuries ago. The digging and washing there is matter of hand labor; but they are still get ting the rubies the nest rubies in all the world.
 In the Mogok Valley, however, large workings are always in hand, d scientific system has been been in- troduced wit hcorresponding results. The byon is extracted by the open quarry method of removing all the surface down to the ruby bearing clay. This is then dug up carried on trolleys to tn esteafn cleansing mill washed, passed through sieves, and then closely scruitinized for rubies and spinels.
 In addition to the pure ruby, spinel or balas rubies, are found in large l quantities in MogolS. Whenever the ruby is found there also Is spinel Both are crystals of aluminium, but of varying shape. Wnlte the true ruDy may be said to be pure corundunl only, the spinel shows a minute quantity of magnesium, the presence of which lessens its hardness by one fifth.
 There is in use at these mines al
 lstrument called the dichrotssope
 hereby rubies are separted from the ipinels with the utmost accuracy an(
 certainty. The gem is placed in the
 instrument in such way that ray If light passes through it and is oolarized. The true ruby shows :; pure red roy, wheras the spinel dis closes slight tinge of blue with the red. ..
 Among the comparatively few mag. aifcent spinels in existence may bt mentioned the great. .Agincourt rub, in the British crown.
