RUDYARD KIpLINC SPEAKS.


st seems to me that it must be the
most carefully-worked film that ha:

words of Rudyard Kipling after he
had seen photographs of the repro

In writing to Mr.. Randolph Lewis
Pathe's scenario and technical expert,
who spent several months in England
comforting with Mr.. Kipling and
coaching the famous author in the
technique of photoplay continuity,
Mr. Kipling said:
Il am lust back from Algeria and

film waiting for me. They are SUI

of detail than | could have imagined.

no experience in these matters, but it
seems to me that it must be the most

"As to the characters, / find them
extremely good. Pr Khan is, as far
as makeup and pose goes, quite per-
feet. | am glad to see the baby wears
that little gold cap. The study of
America against the night that is to
cover her is really splendid one.
81 wish that you were here that
you might have heard all that we said
about the film, but, since that cannot
be, ! want you to give every one
concerned in the work, which has
been done, my very best and heartiest

MEANT DIVISION WITH KING"
Royalties" In Old DAYS SiunifIed
Something Altogether Different
From Meaning Today.

Recipients of royalties from books,
patents, mines or any other thing may
claim kin with kings, etymologlcally
speaking, at least, for a royalty rep
resented originally the kings portion
Of the profits Of a venture.
The word entered England from
France, and was sometimes called a
"selgnorage." The king of England
at the time was the actual possessOr
of all land in the domain, as he Is
only nominally today. All mines
that were worked, all lands that were
TILED, directly or indirectly paid trib-
ute to him. He possessed a similar
power, though less clearly understood,
over printing and inventions.
The payment of a royalty to an
author, inventor or other persons to-
day Is recognition Of the ownership Of
the recipient to the basic right in the
thing worked or produced. The pub
Usher, manufacturer or operator may
have, and usually does have, the heavi-
est investment, but the man who gets
the royalty Is the man who holds pos
session in fee simple, subject to what
contracts he may make with those
associated with him in the develop
ment or distribution of his property.

GREAT POET TRUE GENTLEMAN
CarlyIe's Pen Portrait Of Schiller
Among Finest Of the Tributes
Paid to Him.

In his dress and manner, as in all
things, he was plain and unaffected.
Among strangers, something shy and
retiring might occasionally be OBJ
served In him: In his own family, or
among his select friends, he was kind
hearted, free, and gay as little child.
In public, his external appearance had
nothing in 1t to strike or attract. Of
an unpresuming aspect, wearing plain
apparel, his looks as he walked were
constantly bent on the ground so that
frequently, as we are told, "he failed
to notice the Salutation of a passing
acquaintance; but If he heard it. he
would catch hastily at his hat, and
give his cordial Gluten Tag" Modesty,
simplicity, a total want of all parade
or affectation were conspicuous in
him. These are the usual concomi-
tants OF true greatness, and serve to
mitigate its splendor Common things
ne did as common man. His con-
duct In such matters was uncalculated.

Who Made the Alphabet?

Ii 1t takes genius to make great
words, 1t was also a genius who made
the alphabet which makes the words.
The pedigree Of our alphabet can be
traced continuously for nearly 5000
years, and then comes hiatus, says a
recent writer. The genesis of writing
must naturally be sought in pictures
Caveman, when he painted his women
or beasts on rock walls, or carved elks
and elephants on antlers and tusks,
was laying the foundations of one of
the great human inventions. Behind
all this apt artistic effort we must see
some esoteric motive, for 1t was not
due merely to the striving of the crea-
tive soul after expression. Doubtless,
adds our authority, when caveman held
an exhibition of his works, his friends
praised the ingenuity and beauty Of
his pictures, but there is something
more than the desire of simple repro
ductiOn hidden In his handiwOrk.

When kissing Was ILLEGAL.

Laws against kissing still exist In
America, which produces most Of the
films from which the Japanese cen.
sors last year cut out 10000 feet Of
kissing scenes, observes London Tit
Bits.
Not many years ago a student Of
Yale university and his sweetheart
were arrested for the crime of kissing
in Boston restaurant. They were
sentenced to Is days Imprisonment,
the magistrate relying on one of the
blue laws" passed in the Seventeenth
century, when Massachusetts was a
British colony.
Under these laws many men were
fined or put in the stocks for kissing
their wives in public, such conduct be-
ing penalized as 'lewd and unseemly
behavior"
The only measure Of this kind ever
enforced In England was of tenn
porary nature. In 1889 an act of par
lament was passed prohibiting kiss
ing, owing to the pestllenca raging
over England and France.

Safe and Warm Retreat
In Snow House.

In the temperate months the grouse
mas an excellent choice of food con-
slstlng OF a great variety of berries,
small frult, seeds, buds, clover, beech
nuts, grasshoppers and a multitude Of
young, tender leaves. In the winter
one wonders at their survival: for
now the fall flight of the robins COM

We're wont to linger and ripen well
INTO winter, compelling the grouse to

buds, with many a forced meal on an
evergreen.
fortunately, whenever the tempera-
ture Is far below zero the sky is usu-
ally clear and the grouse are active
and unconcerned, but If the days and
nights are dark and cold or the air
nlled with merciless pellets, they have
the habit of plunging into deep snow
drifts, where a foot below the surface
the heat and weight of the body form
a globular retreat, in which they re-
main comfortably until the storm
clears or hunger forces an exit.
Sometimes in winter or the early
spring there may come a rain or a
warm day that melts the surface snow
followed by severe weather, and then
thousands of grouse are imprisoned
and the heretofore safe retreat be-
comes their tomb, should weeks pass

BURNED SATURDAY NIGHT

The country store of Mr.. Clois
Hutcherson, situated several miles
north of Dresden, on the Dresden
Latham road, was burned Saturday
night about IL o'clock, together
with all contents.
The origin of the fire is not
known, but as there was crowd
at the store until 10 o'clock getting
tne election news it is thought that
possibly some one dropped lighted
cigar Or cigarette and that the fire
STARTED after the departure of the
crowd. Mr.. HUTCHINSON carried

RoBBER TRAPPED WITH BOOTY
Treasure From Saints Shrine, Stolen
Last November, Recovered by
Clever Police Work.

The historic ThiSteenth century
treasure of st. Elizabeth of Hungary,
which was stolen from the saints
shrine at Marburg last November, has
been recovered, according to the Ber-
lin correspondent of the London
Times, after having been buried in
the back garden Of London subur-
ban house.
The recovery is due to the vigilance
Of the Frankfort police. Six men took
part in the robbery last November,
and five Of them were arrested soon
after, There was, however, no sign
of the stolen treasury and the men
obstinately denied all knowledge Of
1t.
Eventually, the police got up to the
track of the sixth man, Emil Kell-
man. 1t was found that In the mean
time he had been to London; he was
watched, however, and on his return
he was arrested. During his detention
the inquiries Of the detective led the
police to believe that Kellman had
hidden the jewels In England. 1t was
assumed that If he were set free, he
would probably get them. He was
therefore let out on bail; at the same
time he was kept under strict but
secret surveillance by the police. On
June Is Kellman went to London to
fetch the jewels and on his return a
few days ago he was rearrested at
Cloves on the German Dutch from
tier, where he was taken red-handed
with the missing jewels and pearls.
