AT THE PALACE TONIGHT

The Shepherd of the Hills" that
widely read story of the Ozarks has
been fllmatized under the direction OF
Harold Bell Wright, it's author. AS a
novel, this story has attained a pOpu-
larity which has not been equalled by
any other book in a decade.
AS a play the success of this work
was phenomenal and as a picturiZa-
ton under the direction of Mr.. Wright
the story bids fair to mark an epoch in
the art of the silent drama.
This picture has been made in the
heart of the OZarks. and in California
Mr. Wright and his associates were
engaged for months in this great
work
No expense has been spared, no de-
tail overlooked, the countless millions
who are familiar with Mr.. Wright S
style and descriptive ability. those
who understand in even limited way
the scopeless possibilities of the mo-
ton picture camera. can readily real
ize that the great word picture of this
author should in the world of real pic
lures indeed be a work of art.
The picture story in ten reels with
incidental music written and selected
especially for it will be seen at the
Palace theatre tonight.

London, Jan. 29.-The death is re-
ported of Mrs Margaret Dunlop Glib
son. who in 1896, after six visits to
Mount Sinai, brought to England for
the first leaf OF what is known as the
Hebrew Ecclesiasticus.
With her twin sister, Mrs Agnes
Lewis, she shared the distinction of
discovering in 1892 the famous Syriac
palimpsest of the Gospels in the mon
astery\ of Mount Sinai, 1t was very
dirty, and its leaves were nearly all
stuck together, through their having
remained untufned pro0ab;y since the
last Syrian m nix had died iLs.he mon
astery centuries before
The sisters took about 400 photo
graphs of it, When they returned to
England it was identified by Profess
sors Burkitt and Bensley, of Cam
bridge University. as the Curetopian
manuscript, one of the oldest versions
of the Gospels extant in any language
Another expedition was sent to Sinai
and the text was copied Its publica-
ton of the text IN 1894 marked an
epoch in the history of Biblical criti-
cism. =.

THE DUMB MOTHER

Some time ago a bitter complaint
from Australia Of savage cruelty to
fur bearing creatures was published.
About three million opposum skins
are yearly exported from that land.
and an eye witness stated that it was
a common sight in Australia TO see
| the poor mother Opossum lying dead
Tor. dying in the steel trap, while her
starving little ones crowded round
her. seeking the nourishment she
could no longer give. This spectacle
Iseemed to call for vengeance on the
Icold-hearted land which permitted
such things, but does it not call more
loudly for retribution on those who
make themselves responsible by buy
ing and wearing the skins of those
hapless dumb mothers?
When Henry Bergh started his
crusade against the cruelty of trap
ping he was interrupted in his work,
through lack of funds. Monsieur Bon
|nard, a Canadian Frenchman who
had made a fortune in the fur trade
by trapping. left it to further Berghs
work. for he had seen such cruelties
practiced on animals in his business.

Stockholders of the Washington,

CREATIONS of the company for the year
ended December 81, 1919, and is being
prepared by the officials and account

of what the earnings will show,
Though the impression is that the gross
|of the company has been kept up to
la substantial basis during the year.
1t may also follow that the cost of
Operation has been increased. An adj
ditional burden in this connection has
recently been thrust on the manage
ment by the compromise with its
trainmen and increasing their pay.
This. however, will not show in the

ITO return to our earth-weighing
question, it may be said that our globe
has no weight except as measured in
forms of the attractive energy OF other
heavenly bodies. 1t is this circum-
stance which enables astronomers to
make their predictions. In this way,

Today is ST Valentines Day, the
day of lovers. Yesterday perplexed
young men with dreamy eyes stared
al sentimental lines on postcards,
fancy valentines and candy boxes And
the perplexed young men were not
lalone in the stationery stores. Young
women were there TOO.
ST. Valentines Day was decreed by
by die old Roman calendar in honor
of ST. Valentine. who was a sanity
bishop and therefore can't be respon-
sible for the St Valentine celebra-
Itions of today. The priest met an un-
timely fate. He was cast into Jail
during the Claudian prosecutions and
there cured his keepers daughter of

popular conception of an old maid and

tic of fully half the valentines on
display in the shops this year
But then. it's leap year, and the
ladies are doubtless taking full adj
vantage of their prerogative. True,
there have been other leap years in
which women had a perfect right to

the days before women came into
their own, before they demanded a
vote and equal rights, and if they
proposed at all it was done with
looks, rather than words.

year proposal la 1920.
OF course. not all of them are of
quite so brazen a nature. Some are
more "delicately" expressed, more on
the order of a hint, as for example:
Il aint nuvyer been kissed
Il Amt been took

I'm lady sweet and have good
