strain of his last days fight, from the
terrible racking of the last test and
the rage of the final ten minutes.
His real name was John George
Richter. He was an American-born
youth of nineteen, from Cincinnati, O.,
of German descent on both sides. He
had never known what want was. He
had never known what it was to be
hungry, until he ran away from home
last November, on account Of trouble
there when he declared the wander
ingA4began which ended In his adven-
ture.
He left home with $780, wearing ex-
pensive clothes and silk underwear.
He went to Chicago and lost his
money in a poker game which ended
in fight. He beat his way to De-
troit.
There, broke, he parted with his
tailored clothes and his silk under
wear, receiving in return from the
pawnbroker, the sum of $40. His wan
behring's led him then to Windsor,
North Bay and even further north.
Most Of the time he was riding blind
baggage" beating his way actually, as
he described 1t in his romantic story
Of how he came from the West.
When he reached Toronto, he said,
he was really approaching starvation.
He had had nothing to eat for three
days. He was sick. His feet had been
badly frozen because he had only one
pair of socks.
That was how he reached St. Mi
chael's hospital. The doctors found
him to be suffering from hunger and
exposure. They asked him where he
came from. He declared, that, fright
ened lest his father should hear of 1t,
he concocted the story, which, when
published. aroused the curiosity and
sympathy of the public.

RAWLINSON AT HIS
BEST IN DAVIS STORY.
What is adventure?

What is adventure?
The average persons reaction to
the word adventure is a mental pic
ture of eating chop suey in chop
suey house of Shanghai, lookingg at
Honolulu after seven dishes of poi,
sighting smugglers from crows nest
of a dirigible or hoboing through the
Himalayas.
Richard Harding Davis established
himself a one of the worlds real mas
tiers of the adventure story. He did
it by meeting adventure first and
then talking about it afterward.
Where did he find it?
1.-THE Scarlet Car" the Universal
film play coming to the screen of
the Liberty theatre beginning Tues
day illustrates the fact that Davis
found adventure wherever he found
human beings and the principal insti-
buttons of life. He found THE Scar
let Car" in city of average size,
with the characters average people.
Herbert Rawlinson stars in the role
of young fellow who gets arrested
thirty times in thirty days for speed
ing, sufficiently prosaic and typi-
cally American adventure, and who
has the faculty of believing the hon
est and punching the dishonest in the
nose.
Claire Adams, Edward Cecil, Norris
Johnson, Marc Robbins, Tom Mcclure,
and Tom O'Brien handle principal
supporting roles. George Randolph
Chester prepared the scenario and
Stuart Patton directed.

described as priest at Rome, another
es Bishop of Inleramnia (the modern
Terni), and these two seem both to

the Third century, and to have been
buried on the Flamenian Way, but at
different distances from the city Of
Rome. OF bUtf of these st. Valenr

A GAME WHERE EVERYBODY
GETS IN.


An effort is being made to teach
the public that taxes reach any con-
sumner, no matter whether he owns
dollars worth of taxable property or
not. In fact, taxes are always passed
on to the consumer in one way or
another. The Philadelphia Enquirer,
commenting on this, has the following
to say:
Your taxes start with the sound
of your alarm clock in the morning.
Your shaving and bathing materials
are taxed, so are your linen and
suit of clothes. Go to the breakfast
table and you swallow a tax with
every bite you eat. The gas that
cooked your eggs, the electricity
which Drowned your toast, the cream
and sugar in your coffee, and even
the glass of water you drink has its
tax-the last named through the
swarm of little taxes that went into
the hundreds of materials in the
water plant The rug beneath your
feet is taxed and so is your morning
newspaper. Your auto at the door,
or the trolley car, whichever you pre-
fer, is taxed Of course, your home
Is taxed. Your fuel has carried
goods tax right back into the mine
and so on through the day you bump
into a tax at every turn. Your pay
envelope is taxed and the railroad
which carries to you scores of daily
wants has been taxed and, being no
philanthropist, generally passes the
taxes along to you, Mr. Consumer.
Death and taxes are said to be the
two sure things, but death comes only
once, whereas tax comes with every
tick Of the watch"
The Idaho Statesman comments as
follows on the Enquirer's editorial:
And it comes to the very man who
says he is not worried about taxes
but about the cost Of living. 1t comes
as part Of that very cost of living
against which he complains. And it
comes with usuary, because he has to
double and treble the amount some
times to pay the people who have |
done the collecting for him.
Yet all the time, in his blind |
search for better times, he cries: |
{ Taxes? Let the people who are on !,
the tax rolls worry. Public works,
expenditures-they mean prosperity
Tor fellows like me-"
And the devil laughs
