 The verdict was sharply criticized, however, by a member of German pro- ducers who hold to the opinion that German technique Is bound to prevail over the "slap-stick comedy' and the silly sentimental thing produced only to show rows of white teeth and q smile"

Under Good Queen Bess.

A career so lurid and impregnated

covers of the penny dreadfuls as fell
to the lot of Thomas Stukely as 1t ran
the gamut from matrimony to piracy,

name to be remembered when many a
better man has sunk to oblivion. Stuke-
ly was an adventurer by nature. His
mother was Irish and Of very
good family, and it Is said that he
could claim as his father Henry VIII
of England. Stukely acquired a
great fortune by marrying a lady of
wealth and proceeded Immediately to
spend 1t with the greatest dispatch.
Sir Walter Scott says that gallant ruff
fed 1t with Raleigh and the best of
them at the court of Queen Eliza
beth. His first chimerical scheme was
to found a kingdom for himself In
Florida. Then he went to Ireland and
gained considerable influence over
Shane O'Neill, the most powerful of
the native chieftains. helping him TO
gain decisive battle. Stukely never
gave up his career as a merchant and
still retained ships which, under the
gulse of peaceful traders, committed In
famous piracles. On being discov-
cred he went to Spain as grandee
and thence TO Rome. At the great

PLoW UP COTTON
TO PLANT PEANUTS

Springfield, May 24.-Continued
rains have brought out a crop of boil
weevils, now found on the young cot
ton plants, in numbers past believ-
ing. A few tanners have plowed. up
their cotton and are planting corn
and peanuts. Two or three thousand
acres were planted in peanuts last
season, and somewhat larger acre
age 9as been planted this year. :le
farmers say that more clear money
can be made at 60 cents per ibushel
for peanuts than can be made at 10
cents cotton, as the nuts left in the
fields, together with the hay saved
from the vines, make it possible to-
profitable raise live stock, especially
improved grades of hogs. ... ......s,'
