LEGEND Of the Great War.

In the early days of the World war,
when the brave little band of British
soldiers vas compelled. by the over
whelming number of the enemy, TO
retreat from Mons. report was put
in circulation, and telegraphpd all
over the world. to the effect that an
angel, with farming sword, stood in
the path of the pursuing host of Ger
mans, and thus allowed the British
to retire in comparative safety. How
the report originated was not known
At the time, but it was discovered lat
er that it had its origin in an imagi-
nary poem entitled THE Angel OF
Mons" written by an English clergy
man.

When the oxygen of moist air COM

Ornamental steel-that with a pur-
plish or lilac color--is the worst rust

produced by part oxidation and the
process begun artificially is continued
naturally.
Dry air win cause rust. but the
metal has to be at high temperature. A
poker which has been made red hot

the same. The flakes that come from

but rust.

So bright are these tales OF returned

In this country the youth are told
gold may be picked up on any hill But
so eager are the people who live in the
land to keep it only for the worthy
that no one is permitted TO land in the.
United States unless he wishes to learn
and become a wise and great man.
This view OF our country seems to
the Chinese to be borne out by the
exclusion laws. No Chinese workman,
of course. is permitted to land in this
country. but those earnest Chinese
who wish TO attend our schools and

All the world loves a lover but in the production of "One Day" the emotional drama now being present. ed by the PoH Players, the world will find, two who love each other to the extreme. The play is replete with thrills and emotion and does credit to Cecil Spooner, a. Bridgeport favor ite, who wrote the dramadzation from the novel of the same name. The production is a sequel to Three Weeks" the noval that made Elinor Glyn famous.
 Next week the Players will again launch into comedy ia the presenta- ton of My Lady Friends" a play built for laughing purposes only. There is a laugh in every line and the Poli Players are sure to bring them all out
 Sunday night the feature will be seen in 'HThe Lottery Man, in which Wallace Reid appears as the star. In addition to this there is a Sennett comedy, Pathe News, the sixth epi- sode of s"rhe Son of Tarzan," and the concert by the Lyric orchestra.

 with that he gave an out-fielder and yanked out three inches of nerve and most of my voice. After which gathered together the remains of my profile and began to think
 Ain't it truei The sources of pride are wondrous. We hustle and worry and strain. We burn the midnight oil and the daylight gasoline to attain fame. and then along comes someone who hasn't washed his teeth for 2S years and looks at our feeble efforts with scorn.
