Running No Risks,

According to the testimony of the
witnesses, you were caught just as
you were getting out of the window
with the contents of the till in your
pocket. Now, what excuse have you
got" said the judge, fercely, to the
prisoner, who stood, with jaunty air,
In the dock.
81 II know it, your honor. I shall al
ways be grateful to the man who
caught me. When I have these SOM

'To turn me loose?"

across the window of your cell so that
there may be no danger Of your fall

Orator Not Dependent

John Bright's notes for a speech
were written on visiting card. Lord
Asquith is the authority for this state
ment, but it does not appear quite to
harmonic with Bright's recorded prac-
tice of using several half-sheets in the
case of important speeches. He GER
tainly was not dependent on his notes.
however, being always able to repeat
verbatim any of the sentences which,
owing to the applause which greeted
them, had been inaudible to the press.
On one occasion the wind played havoc
with his half-sheets, which he had laid
ON top e his hat. But he picked them
up, sorted them unconeernedly, and
went On is.

Mixing Yarns.

By force Of industrial circumstances
an odd and interesting kind Of inter
nationalism appears in the report that
Hongkong factories are knitting with
q mixture Of Japanese and American
yarns. An estimate for the current
year is that American yarns to the
value of about one million gold dol
lars will come into Hongkong and 60
out again all over the far East in
knitted articles, the bulk of them
made Of American yarns but consid-
erable part of American and Japanese
yarns mixed. People in North China,
the Dutch East Indies, the Philippines,
and in smaller number in South
America and Europe will thus be 60
ing about in what might be called
"American-Japanese hosiery made in
China"

CHIVALRY NATURAL TO HIN
Brave Act Of Virginian Soldier In
France Had its Counterpart IN
Deed of General Lee.

It was not often that the soldier
boy would talk at all of those days
In France, but one evening he had
been telling his uncle and some of
: the lads who had dropped in of the
rescue of Parade Rest.
Parade Rest was the company'S
mascot, a rather nondescript dog, Of
no marked intelligence but devoted to
and beloved by the boys, who had
given him this sobriquet because OF
the position in which he always stood,
with one foot turned out. One day
at Chateau Thierry he had been left
behind in a dugout, but had followed
the boys, and at moment when there
was a lull in. the advance, there, a
tempting target for the enemy, silhou-
cited against the glare, stood Parade
Rest.
ut doesn't seem much to tell now,"
the soldier said, looking over the quiet
little group on the home porch, thou
sands of miles away from that battle
field, "but it was some stunt. My
buddie dashed out among the falling
shrapnel and bursting shells and
seized Parade Rest so quickly we
couldn't tell how it was DONE"
"Where was your buddie from?"
inquired one Of the boys in the group.
At the answer "From Virginia" the
soldier boys uncle smiled, q reminis-
cent, comprehending smile.
Z 3He was only repeating an act Of
one Of the greatest Of Virginians, my
lads" the old man began, and then the
little group remembered that here in
their midst was q veteran Of that war
: of the Blue and the Gray.
For one day, during the long siege
OF Petersburg, General Lee, in his
effort to encourage his men, took up a
most dangerous position on the front
lines. But having been cautioned and
later besought, he retired to the rear.
Only few minutes later, however,
seeing some fedglings fall from their
nest to the battlefield, he rode out,
Jumped from his horse, and restored
them to safety. 1t was done very
quickly but not so quickly but that
the general, on his well-known gray
horse, was visible to the enemy. But
the enemy did not fire upon him in
that act"-Christian Science Monitor.

FOR THE BLOOD"
Is What a Citizen Of Georgia Says Of
zIR0N, the New Iron Tonic.

Iron is needed by the blood to keep
men and women strong and healthy. Iron
is needed by the nerves to keep them
toned up. Ziron, the new iron tonic, will
put iron into your blood and should help
renew your tagged nerve forces In the
way it has done it for many others.
Read what Mr.. J. R. Bell, Rt. 2, Oconee,
Ga, says about the effects of Ziron:
"t think Ziron is all o. K. for the blood.
That was what have been taking itfor-
my blood. | liked Ziron so well that |
went back to the store and got two more
bottles Of it."
Ziron is a combination of a pure medi-
cinal inorganic iron salt, mentioned in the
u. S. Pharmacopeia, with the hypophos-
phites of lime and soda, and other valu-
able tonic ingredients, endorsed and re-
commended BY the best medical authori-
ties and mentioned in the medical text
books.
All druggists sell Ziron on a money
back guarantee. Look for the formula
on the label. Get a bottle today, and
give it fair trial.

 "The worlds most beautiful love story is said to describe Hal Reid's play, The CUnfess.on," which has been made into marvellous motion picture by the National Film Cor porat.on, featuring Henry Walthai, which is coming 10 the Davis next week.
 It was directed by Bertram Brac- ken. and cost one hundred and nine ty-five thousand dollars to make.
 The story of the picture is one calculated to hold its auditors spell bound from beginning to end, encom- passing as it does the gamut of ev- cry human emotion, the love of sweetheart for sweetheart brother for brother, and last, but not least the love of a mother for her son.
 "The Confession" as a stage play had a wonderful career and in its new form is much better, from the fact that it is not limited to the few stage scenes possible in a theatre.
