TRUE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.
Our Mary Finds What Ponce De Leon
Sought in Vain.

In eight years everything in the
movies has changed except Mary Pick
ford. Her 1922 edition of "Tess of the
Storm Country" proves that. The
1914 edition was made direct from the
novel, the cameraman acting as the
director. That picture lifted Mary to
the heights from which she has ever
since shone as the one bright star to
all nations of the earth.
As pictures went in those days, that
one was a masterpiece, but the art of
photoplay making has advanced in
leaps and bounds until the 1914 picture
seemed technically an Insignificant
thing.
The personal significance was never
lost. Mary Pickford loved Tes. In
her heart Mary and Tess are much the
same person. AS the world went on
1t left Tess behind, like some poor
little cousin in rags. Mary has gone
back to present Tess again in new
rainlent, this time in imperishable
fabric. Tess, the girl of the films. will
live after the camera has quit its
focus on Mary. The new ''Tess of the
Storm Country" playing at the Orp-
heum Theatre this week, is the great
est work of the worlds most popular
figure.

lived here more than twenty years; for
the past few years he had made his
home with his daughter In Winnetka.

Berlin The pictare of Germany
countering future claims of France and
Belgium with an indemnity bill of her
own for the Ruhr occupation is already
being sketched in political circles here
In these quarters, it is confdentially
believed that the Reich will not hest
tate to model her own statement after
the pattern afforded by her obligations
to the Allies.
A long list of claims against France
and Belgium by German nationals Is
expected and to these will probably be
added the nations estlmat of the
damages to its sovereignty by the arm
ed occupation. AS presidents for such
a course of action, Reichstag leaders
have already turned to the Passau and
Ingold-Stadt>, incident when the Reich
was fined 100000 marks because Ger
man civilians insulted members Of the
Entente control commission.
An immediate coal famine in unoc-
cupied Germany is not generally fear
ed here if the Ruhr coal mines can
maintain the output of the last ten
days.
Only one-half of the Reich's supply
comes from that quarter and with
British importations and stimulates
production in ether domestic fields a
shortage does not seem imminent 1t
is admitted that considerable depends
on the ability Of the Ruhr mines to
operate.

upon his hearers. When he resigned
from the Christian Science church he
returned to the work of the Episcopal
church and as a postulant had two
small missions in Nebraska. He had
at one time planned to enter the min
istry of the church, but he found it
impossible to reconcile Ill of his re-
ligious IDEAS to the church ritual. He
had been very active in the work of St.
Matthew's church in Kenosha and had
served as reader in the church here.
Had Varied Friendships.
q Few men who have lived in Kenosha
were more cosmopolitan in their friend
ships than Judge Clarkson. He was
known to all classes of people in the
city and loved by all of them. His
leadership IA literary life made his
home aIshrine for people who sought
the higher learning; he had great
sympathy for the immigrant popula-
tion and many of them called him their
closest friend and adviser. He knew
the boys on the streets and called them
by name and he sat as one Of the most
ardent Of the baseball fans on the
bleachers at the games in Kenosha
He was strained athlete he served
as member Of the Yale crew, and
played on a dozen different baseball
teams. He never forgot his interest
in athletic sports and these things
kept him always young.
Widow Sole Survivor of Family.
Judge Clarkson was married on the
18th of October 1888, to Miss Esther

Mrs. Elizabeth Simmons Vale, and a
cousin, Mrs. Jessie Field, all Of
Kenosha.
The judge was one of the old mem

ASKS PARDON ON
JAIL SENTENCE
John schmitt, Liquor Law
Violator, Appeals to
Governor.
IN COUNTY JAIL HERE
Defendent Sentenced to Serve
Three Months and Pay
Fine of s7OO.

Governor Blaine has probably Just
started the work of hearing pardon
pleas from men conyicted1e4 liquor law
violations in Kenosha
True, the Kenosha quota at the house
Of correction in Milwaukeeewhere men
were serving terms as result Of grand
jury indictments has been exhausted
as Nathan Gordon, the lest one Of the
ring, was pardohed last week, but q
new and larger quota leomed up as
possibilities today when it became
known that John Schmidt. now serving
a sentence of three months and a fine
of $500, has fled application for execu-
tive clemeney This Is the first in
stance where a man sentenced to the
county jail in Kenosha county has
sought pardon from the governor Of
1.-THE state.
Convicted on Two Counts.
Schmidt was convicted in the mum.
cipal court on September 23rd on two
counts Of having sold intoxicating IL
quors at tavern on the Sheridan road
soUth Of Kenosha. He was sentenced
by Judge Slater to pay q fine Of $500
on one count or be confined go days in
the county Jail and on the other to pay
a fine Of $400 or be confined 60 days
in the county jail. I'm addition, he was
sentenced to serve 60 days on the frst
count and 90 days on the second count,
these sentences to be served concur
rently after the completion Of the serv-
ing out Of the fne.i 4
He has now served out more than
half Of the sentence. He has been a
good prisoner at the Jail, having been
made a tfusty by reason of his good
behavior.
Sees No Difference.
81 can see no reason why Schmidt
should serve out his sentence in the
county gail while those sentenced to
the house of correction have clemency
extended" declared Attorney L. E.
Vaudreul, who represents the defend
ant and who on Saturday served the
prosecuting attorney with copy of the
application for pardon. "He was not
indicted by grand jury or sent to the
house of correction, but he received a
long sentence and should have an OPP
portunity for securing clemency."
It was admitted in court circles that
the extending of clemehcy by Governor
Blaine in this ease might open the way
to a perpetual string Of applications
for pardons from liquor law violators
sentenced to serve terms in the county
Jail
