"A Little Bit of Everything

When my father was called to
Chicago. on business for two weeks
last June and my mother went to
the seaside TO stay for a month or
two, finally decided that / was
not going to spend all this freedom
u mine in idleness. So | went
round TO the house of some friends
to talk over plans for a house par
ty ] was thinking of having.
OF course my sister was there, it
always happens that way you
know! And the moment she heard
of my intentions-she Immediately
decided without waiting for my
opinion that she would have some
guests of her own and that our
guests would be half girls and half
boys. Doesn't that beat all?"
There must be something wrong
with you if you don't think so! We
went home, then to talk it over.
Ii came out that way naturally!
Things always have to somehow.
No matter in what way you plan
1t, 1t always has to end up in the
wrong way. 1t will not be right if
it didn't. Then when we finally
decided that it was to be that way,
the words came thick and fast over
those people we were going to have
and those people that we weren't!
Some persons she wanted | didn't,
and of course practically all of
hose | had down she didn't!!!
Tho persons that we did decide
IN though were as follows:
Jackie Earlenhouse, Speedy"
Evans, billie" Bradley, Tom O..

Some Charms For
The Ghostly Night
Snap Apple

Sticks are hung from cords, hori-
zontal with the floor. An apple is
fastened to one end and burning
candle to the other. Then the cord
is twisted, and while it revolves
the guests in turn try to get a bite
of apple.
Tests With AppIe-Seeds
Two seeds are named for boy
and girl and stuck on the fore
head. The one that sticks longer
indicates that the one for which 1t
is named will stay at home, the
one that falls means that the one
named will travel.
The seeds from an apple are TAX
en- in the palm of the hand, which
is then struck with the other The
seeds left are counted and the play
er will receive as many letters as
there are seeds, within the next
two weeks.
A Sailing Trip.
A very pretty test is performed
by means of nut shells. With tiny
candles placed in them, they are
sent sailing over tub of water,
named, of course, for different peo-
pie. If they cling to one side, those
named will lead quiet lives; some
will be overturned, meaning mis-
fortune; some will sail steadily,
meaning a happy peaceful journey
through life; the candle which
burns longest indicates that the
one named will marry first.
Tests to Be Tried in Secret
Take a Walnut, a hazelnut and
nutmeg and CRATE them together,
mix with butter and sugar and eat.
If you dream of noise, your future
husband will be a merchant; if of
gold, he will be rich; if of a thun-
derstorm, he will be traveller.
To have your wish fulfilled, eat
a piece of dry bread before going
to be on Halloween night.

The Mystery Meath
The Maple Tree

They asked him where he would
find out anything about the key,
But he only shook his head and
said, wait and see at the next
meeting Then Mrs. Green said
that supper was ready, so they
went and ate it.
In the evening Mrs. Eggleston,
the neighbor on the right of Mrs.
Green came in with her family to
spend the evening. The children
played and forgot about the key.
Mr.. Eggleston went to town in his

he didn't come. Mr.. Green said,
"Pll take you home and when he
comes l will tell him | took you

note;" said John.
The next morning John told Mrs.
Green and the girls. That after
noon Columbus came and they had
the meeting. John read the note
and this is what it said:
"The key that you will find in

said John.

Mr. Green said he would dig for

GEORGIA MONEY BOX
WILL BE REPLIED
Cashier Says Half Million Dollars
From Insurance Taxes Will Be Paid
By July First.

Atlanta-The condition of the
treasury of Georgia is somewhat i'm
proved today, it is stated at the capi-
tol. and hopes are held out for rapid
strides toward recovery by the first
of next month.
Wednesday, when the legislature
opened, the state Treasury was Ia
treasury in name only. Yesterday she
began to function again-mildly. To-
day there is an improvement over YES
terday.
1t is estimated by the state cashier
that something near half million dol
lars will be paid into the treasury
IN insurance taxes by July first The
legislature will cost the state between
$4,000 and $115,00O. If the COVER
nor's warrants are not larger than ex-
pected the insurance money will tide
the treasury over.
Cashier Herbert Walker. of the state
treasury, is of the opinion that unless
the governors warrants are very large
he will be able to give the legislators
at least considerable portion of the
per diem, regardless of whether the
motor vehicle found is diverted for
this purpose. This fund, which is tenn
porarily tied up until its disposition
can be fixed by the courts, amounts
to more than a million and a quarter
dollars.

GIRL OF THE AIR

When ]. E. Williamson who wrote
and produced Girl of the Sea-" the
big submarine picture which comes
to the Grand theatre commencing on
Monday, was casting about for a sem
photoplay, he decided upon E. Lloyd
Sheldon. writer of stirring melodrama
and the man for the work. His judg
ment is borne out by the thrilling
and finished picture turned out.
From start to finish of "Girl of the
Sea" there is not a moment of dull
ness. Mr.. Williamson was also for
tunate in obtaining young Betty Hill
burn to play the leading role. Miss
Hillburn, although only sixteen years
old, swims like a fish, is pretty and
has real screen ability. The combina-
ton is required for the part and Miss
Hilburn makes charming little lead
ing lady.
Some of her stunts in the water are
remarkable. In one of the scenes she
dives to the bottom of the ocean to go
to the rescue of her sweetheart who
is in the coils of giant octapus. By
attracting the attention of the fish
to herself, she enables the man to es-
cape and makes her own getaway
safely. Again she is forced to swim
in shark infested waters to rescue the
man she loves who has been knocked
from the mast of the ship by the viii
liam. Miss Hilburn led quite an excit-
ing life while the drama was being
filmed.
Other players in the cast are Alex
ander Shannon, D. ]. Flanagan, Ed
ward Buntler, Kathryn Lean, RATHER
in Quinn and Ruth Price all we'll
Not only is P aGirl G of the Sea- an
unusual picture, but it contains an
unusual story. The photoplay was
written and produced under the per-
sonal direction of J. E. Williamson
and the scenario was made by E.
Lloyd Sheldon, which assures an ell
aborate production.
The story is laid in the West In
dies. Stephen Verrill, a naturalist, To-
Gates valuable gold lands in Aguan
Valley. He obtains deed for large
area of his land, but is stricken with
fever and dies, leaving the deed to
the property with his wife and only
child, little girl. His last wish is
that his wife meet Captain Rose of
the steamer Caribee, which will touch
there on the way to New York, ask
him to accept third of the holdings
and take the wife and her child to
New York to arrange for the financ-
ing of a company to operate the
mines.
Mrs. Verill sails from Veragua on
Captain Roses ship, but through the
schemes of CUTLER, a notorious trad
er the vessel is wrecked and the child
is washed ashore on a deserted island
Believing the Verrills have been killed
Cutie and Allen, the ships mate, turn
up and record themselves as heirs
to the valuable property. Tom Ross,
son of Captain Ross, goes later to the
island and finds the girl, and then be-
gins the fight to regain the property.
Just how this is done must be left
to the picture, but it is not without
dramatic suspense that
the girl has her rights restored. Betty
Hilburn is the featured payer in
Girl of the Sea" and is supported by
an excellent cast.
