DweIIer In q Cave.

Cave bears were great big beasts,
weighing half ton or more. They
lived I'm Europe during paleolithic
times, and were contemporaneous with
our ancestors. They get their name
from the fact that their bones are
usually found in caves. All bears, as
a matter of fact, prefer a den In some
rocky hole to live and die In.
Cave bears are all extinct now. but
their near relatives, the Siberian brown
bear and the Alaskan Kodiak bear, are
alive. Scientists were at loss as to
where to place these huge beasts until
they discovered Pleistocene afiinities
for them. Although a cave bear stood
as big as a small COW, he was rela'
lively inoffensive. He preferred root,
ing in the ground or robbing an occa'
sional bee tree to preying on animals
and men.

Lovely Lonely island.

land that lonely voyagers have come
upon in the holiday season and have
named accordingly. The island has

LAFAYETTE TAEATER

The Lafayette Theater, on Baronne
street, opened last week as one OF
the few 1Oc picture houses in the
South, under the management OF
Jacob Miller, who has been operating
the Empire Theater on Canal street
for the last six years. Mr.. Miller has
lust signed a three years lease OF
the premises. He intends to popu'
larize the theater by showing com
plete moving picture program. There
will be a daily change Of attractions
Each program will consist OF a i've
reel feature photoplay, comedy. and
Western drama.
Mr.. Miller was manager OF the
Lafayette Theater ten years ago after
Klaw & Erlanger purchased the
premises from the Shuberts. At that
time he ran 10c picture shows in this
house successfully. and he Is con
WINGED that a similar policy will agar
prove popular.
The therter has been thorough,
renovated and two unique typhoor
fans installed. The fans are sever
feet in diameter and the air the,
supply is carried from the rear wal
of the house into the auditorium b!

PAPER Of Hioh importance.

II. G.. Wells in his "Outline Of His
tory" points out that the manufacture
of paper is a question Of far more
consequence than printing. Knowl-
edge used to be transferred orally
from one person to another, or, as Mr..
Wells puts It, "a little trickle from
mind to mind" Think Of the meager
supply Of information the world would
have at that rate and how facts would
change from all semblance to the
original II passed on in that fashion.
It was the Chinese who invented paper
some two centuries B. c., but good
quality was not made in Europe until
the Thirteenth century In Italy, and a
hundred years later In Germany. And
afterward came printing with NOV.
able type.

Wash Day In Switzerland.

In some remote parts of Switzer-
land wash day comes but twice a
year. The Alpine peasant woman Is
too busy working the crops and tend
ing the cattle In the summer to do
the washing, and in the winter 1t Is
too cold. SO she does It In bulk In the
spring and fall. She takes her turn
for several days among the other
women of the nelghborhood at the
community tub, which is filed with
water piped down from a glacier.
Near by big copper kettles are sizzling
over fires built on the ground in order
that she may have hot water to help
loosen the dirt which, In most cases,
is thoroughly ground into the gar
merts. They do not rub the clothes
but, after soaping, throw them against
an inclined board.

Looked Bad for Client.

Attorneys, in making an appeal to
q jury In behalf Of client, frequently
make assertions which give rise to
laughter. There Is hardly jury trial
that does not offer some such mirth.
Recently In one Of the Indianapolis
Superior courts the introduction Of
evidence had been completed and one
Of the attorneys In the case arose to
address the Jurors. He spoke In this
manner: Gentlemen Of the jury, the
position Of my client In this case Is
Identical with the preacher who was
walking alone on q country road one
day when he met a great, big grizzly
bear" At this point the Judge Of the
court turned and whispered to by
stander: 1T looks like his client Is go
