many intensely dramatic situations. Yet 1t does not transgress the bounds of probability, nor lose dignity, even In the most melodramatic moments
 As background for this strong interplay of conflicting impulses and white-hot passions is the primitive wilderness, the bowling wind of the north, towering trees, snow and finally a great fire which sweeps down on the cabin In the woods and brings the story to a thrilling cli- max. with the heart of the girl given to the man who is more worthy of her, the man who was true to him. self. his false friend and to the girl.
 The staging of this piece is a tine example of what can be done now adays to create perfect illusion. Some of the scenes have rare beauty, and the fire. in particular, is ex- tremely realistic.
 Although there are but five per- sons in the play, they are all artists, and their performance was impress i've. Ben Taggart's rugged physique and ability as an actor made Burr Winton fine characterization, in stinct with the breadth and vigor of the far north. W. Mayne Lynton, as David Stewart, hls rival, was equally good. Both could hardly be im- proved upon in the portrayal of two well-drawn and contrasting types of men. Katherine Hayden, as Manette Packard, was strong in her weakness and made an appealing figure in the play, as the unsophisticated girl who little dreams at first what a turmoil she has brought about between two men whom she believes to be friends. Joseph Driscoll. during the short time he was on the stage, played a French Canadian well, and Charles T. Lewis, as Maniteeka, was an Indian who did not impress one as being travesty on the Noble Red Man" Landon Mccormack. who wrote the play: Mrs. i Trimble Bradley, who staged it. and George Broadhurst, the producer, de- serve a vote of thanks for giving to the theatre drama that is clean, in- te-esting and worth while.

 One of the most beautiful things she expressed was sentiment con- cerning friendship.

 Mrs. Harrison is an expert at fancy work, and at fashioning beautiful ar ticles made with the crochet and knitting needles. Her whole house is filled with embroidery pieces of many exquisite and intricate designs.

 Mrs. Harrison is also teaching the kiddies to make the beautiful em- broidery that she does. Little Marie already knows how to hemstich, and Evelyn to make doll clothes.

He is known by thousands of people and after his election his friends kept the telephone busy with their elation over his success.
 Children Happy Mrs. Harrison said the children also were as happy as they could be and danced all around over their house, for they had had a share in their fathers victory, too. This is one of the reasons: Mir. Harrison had some candidate tickets printed with his picture on 1 them, and left a lot of them around home. Without her parents knowing | 1t, Marie carried some to school and distributed them among the little folks.
 1 A few days later Solicitor Tate i met Mir. Harrison on the street. "Yo, certainly have hustler working fol you" he declared. You ought to be MT. Harrison admitted the solicitor had it on him. MT.

 You could tell she was capable of making anything good to eat by the way she handled the large spoon.

 There was childish wall from Evelyn May.
 That's my cat. she cried. Sis ter's got MY catl"
 Big sister offered the cat, purr and all, but Miss Kitty wasn't wanted around where the turnIp greens were being prepared.
 Evelyn May could take her choice of whether she would stand by her mother, or hold the cat. She decided at last In favor of her mother.
 But little Miss Five Y Year-Old kept up a rapid fire of wishful glances in Miss Cats direction until the last mo- ment of the picture.
 But I promised Evelyn I would make 1t very clear to all The Age Herald readers that the cat looked to l her for food, water and stroking; that she was sole owner and proprie- tor of the cat, and nobody had any mortgage on one single hair or brin- dle.
 Now, does everybody thoroughly understand whose cat this Is? Level Headed on Matrimony
 On the subject of matrimony, Mrs. Harrison is as level headed as she is on the training of children. q believe that woman ought to take-an interest in public things; that she should make herself useful to her community. But do not think a woman should forget her house. hold and her husband and spend her time in the strtets, or gadding need lessly here and there.

GREETINGS REACH
 THE LEGION FROM
 HOME AND ABROAD
lcontInued from PaEe onel

to strengthen the forces of the crown in Ireland on a considerable scale.- Discussing guerilla warfare, the premier said that all knew what gigantic forces had to be put into Africa One of the evils of guerilla warfare was that the forces were dis persed and there was not the same control or discipline. Unless 1t was absolutely necessary for the honor and security of the country it was not the time to impose great addi tional burdens upon the taxpayers and invite the young men once more to risk their lives.
 Before you do that" said the pre- mier, you must first of all convince the people of this country that there Is no other alternative. You must convince the empire; you must con vince yourselves.
 Negotiations Proceeding
 Negotiations are proceeding. would be happy if l could be in q position 10 announce that the great parent races which founded this ern- pire had decided to put an end to ohIs feud of centuries and substitute comradeship, but I cannot conceal the possibility that I may have to make the grim announcement that 1t Is impossible to settle without Gan- ger or dishoaor.
 "If that terrible hour comes. and someone standing at this table has l to invite this house and the country to make greater sacrifices then Brit aims conscience must be free and We must feel that everything has been done.
 If the security Of this country is menaced; if the throne is repudiated l if this empire is to be mutilated and I Ireland established as an alien coun- l try on our most vulnerable flank free to make any arrangements with l the enemies of this country, free to make war on our commerce; If Ire- land walks off with her freedom, | leaving Britain staggering alone un- 1 der the burden thrown upon her for benefits which every Irishman in the world is sharing today, whether in l this country. the dominions or America; if arrangements are insist ed upon which will mean civil war between Catholic and Protestant. 1 then Britain. I feel confident, will make sacrifices to face the nece.- sary risk and avert such evils
 Fate Of Nation Involved
 Great issues are dependent upon this conference; the fate of the em- pire. or, rather, the strength of tine empire, is involved If concessions are pressed that would weaken the empire. the government will take all hazards to protect it. If conces- sions can be made which will bring an honorable peace. which will strengthen the empire, we will hag- ard all on the possibility of achiev- ing that object"

 COMMITTEE MEET
Glass, Harrison and Walsh EnvoyS of EX-President at St. Louis Sessions, Be-
 ginning Today
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The AEe-HeraId,
 800 Davidson Building


 Washington. october S1.-tSpecial.) Woodrow Wilson. former President of the United States, will be repre- scented at the meeting of the demo- cratic national committee at St. Louis tomorrow by Senators Glass of Vir- ginia, Harrison of Mississippi. and Walsh of Montana
 It is learned definitely that the former President dissgrees with cer- +ein democrats that the League Of Nations as an American Issue is dead. and is determined to prevent, if pos sible, the adoption of any resolution tending to discredit the issue on which democracy was swept out of power last fall. It Is known that In the event of the arising of any fac- tionaI fight relative to prospective candidates or the alleged necessity of electing a new chairman of the committee, Mir. Wilson. through his representatives, will play no part.
 Mir Wilson ia determined to take no step which would give repubH- cans an opportunity to claim that ne interfered or attempted to inter fere with the forthcoming confer ence for tho limitation of armament. For that reason he will not receive any of the foreign celebrattes until after tho conference has completed it's work But 1t is said by those who have recently talked with Mir. Wilson, that he cannot believe that the conference can accomplish it's ob- feet until the United States is off cially- associated with the other pow ers of the world.
 For that reason, he is very anxious that the democratic committee re- main a sponsor for the League of Nations, and an advocate of the pol icy which would make the United States a member
 Senator Glass is g. member of the committee. The other senators will be admitted on proxies secured for the occasion.
