FIT MATE FOR DARING OUTLAW
Maid Marion by No Means the Least
Valued Member of Robin Hoods
Brave Band.

Belonging TO that shadowy band OF
characters who hover somewhere in
the borderland between fact and flc-
ton, Maid Marion and Robin Hood,
whimsical, charming, picturesque PEG
pie of medieval England, deserve q
chapter in the history of happy lovers.
Marion was beautiful, graceful lit
tie maid loving the Grant Robin with
all her youthful heart She helped
him in his self-appointed task of rob
bling the rich to aid the poor, and was
a thorough little out-ofdoors creature.
No forest hardships were too much
for her She excelled in archery, was
a fleet runner and, In fact, was spen-
did in every form of sport.
But Marion's family, so the story
goes, objected to her union with the
countrywide reprobate, and every eff
fort was made to force her TO wed a
middle-aged man whom she did not
love.
However, the jolly band of Robins
followers, by employing their ever
ready wits, succeeded i'll foiling pa
rental plans. Robin Hood and maid
Marion lived together In the woods
many happy years, known always as
the enemies OF the rich and selfish
ant the friends of the poor and needy.

CHANGE CLOTHES IN WINTER
Animals and Birds Make Seasonal
Shifts, Very Much as Does the
Human Family.

Some animals and birds change
their dress in winter just as we do.
The ptarmigan. bird belonging to the
same family as the grouse, and who
lives high up in the Scottish noun
tains, is one of the birds who wear
completely different dress in winter.
In the summer he is pretty yellow
ish-brown all over, with white wings,
but In winter he is almost all white
This is because there is so much snow
on the high hills that If he remained
brown he would be easily seen against
the snow.
A neighbor of the ptarmigan in the
Scottish mountains is the blue or
mountain hare. In summer he is
grayish brown, but when winter comes
he sheds his hair and grows new
coat of pale gray and white fur Ptar-
migan even sleep on the snow when
there is ground free of snow quite
near. and one finds the little hollows
made in the snow by their warm
bodies. Some people say that white
fur and white feathers are warmer
than darker colors. SO perhaps that
is partly why some animals and birds
in cold places have white winter
clothes. Far north, in the arctic re
gions, where there is always snow and
ice all the year round, most of the
animals are white For instance, the
polar bear and the arctic fox.-Chrls-

w.bst.r,s Lost Opportunity.

Daniel Webster, expounder Of the
Constitution, great senator and elo-
quent orator, had set his heart on be-
coming chief magistrate Of the AIneri-
can republic All efforts to secure
the presidential nomination proved
abortiye. He could have had the
nomination for the vice presidency in
1870 by simply indicating his willing
ness TO accept. Disdainfully he brushed
the suggestion aside. He considered
himself above playing second fiddle
with William Henry Harrison. Had
he been equipped with more self-abne-
CATION than haughtlness he would have
accepted, and had he done so he would
have become President April s. 1871,

INCE PRODUCTION DEALS WITH
PROBLEMS OF AVERAGE HOME

Local theatregOerS will have the
opportunity of viewing what is pro-
claimed as one of the most powerful
screen dramas of the year when "a
Mans Home" Selznck Suecial pro-
duction with a notable cast, is pre-
scented at the Kenworthy theatre next
Thursday and Friday.
The story. which is a big, vital,
cross section of events common to
many modern households, concerns
the affairs of the family of Frederick
Osborn, a self-made man who has ar
rived at the top only after a long up
hill struggle. The sudden accumu-
lation of wealth is too much for his
pretty wife who thinks of nothing but
frivolous pleasures, while Osborn
concerns himself over-much with
Osborn centers his affections on his
daughter Lucy, who has fallen in love
with Arthur Lynn, the son of a rich
neighbor. In asking Osborn for Lucy's
hand young Lynn tells of the only
event in his life of which he is
ashamed. While at college he has had
an affair with a ome whom his
father has bought off,"
Mrs. Osborn returns home from a
trip East and brings with her Cor
della and Jack Wilson, who, unknown
to her, are a couple of adventurers in
search of prey. By disclosures made
when the Wilson's are introduced in
the sborn home it is revealed that
COrdelia is the woman in Arthur
Lynn's affair" Osborn sees Cordelia
alone and offers her a sum to leave
his home at once, but she refuses and
threatens, for revenge or Lynn, to
break up the happiness of the young
couple. Complications arise when
Jack Wilson makes improper adj
vanceS to Mrs. Osborn, is caught in
the act and thrown from the house.
The plot deepens when Wilson, by a
use, succeeds in getting Osborn
from the home and attempts to rob
Mrs. Osborn. There are many tense
moments and dramatic situations be-
fore the affair is finally Strengthened
out and the Osborn household is re-
stored to harmony.
The picture has a distinguished
cast of players. Harry Morey plays
the role of the husband; Katheryn
Williams, the wife; Grace Valentine
and Roland Bottomley the adventur-
ers; Faire Binney and Matt Moore the
young lovers, whose omanc is al
most shattered. The production was
