OF the nature of the man more hu-

1t is after the battle that Peter finds
the Swedish canteen girl who has been
seized by Menshikov, his trusted
minister, imprisoned in his tent. The
and having repudiated his wife, mar
ries her and makes her empress of all
the RussiaS. The love between
Peter and Catherine is frankly spon-
taneous. and as the story closes at
the death bed of the czar, there is no
glimpse of the future to mar her
character as the loyal and grieving
wife of the screen.
There are many exciting episodes,
but in his entire portrayal of the role,
JannlngS in no instance reaches so
human a point as in the interview
with his imprisoned son, when, with
out word, he studies the face of the
boy and through his play of emotion
registers contempt for the coward |;
perplexity, that Il son of his should
be afraid to fight; sudden wonder
whether or not the boy might be
mentally wanung-and a final con-
viction that brings to him such pity
and love that he takes Alexis in his
arms with mother-like tenderness
and softly smoothes his hair. Every
day people may feel such emotions,
but to picture them is genius.
The one departure from general
history comes when the cZar, having
learned that the reactionarieS plan to
kill him and put his son on the thone,
pretends death, and kills the boy in
his supposed hour of triumph. Au-
thorities agree that the son was con-
demned to death and died in prison.
While it may be entirely proper to
take liberty with an adaptation from
fiction, it seems that history should
be respected.

1t is doubtful whether voting ma
chimes will be used in Silver Bow
county as in years past due to the
law passed by the recent Legislature
which provides that a blank row must
be placed between the columns rep
resenting the two major parties. As
this leaves only six columns available
on the voting machines, while accord
ing to information furnished by the
secretary of state there will be seven
parties on the ballot, the machine
must be discarded unless an extra set

of the seventh ticket, according 20

If it is found necessary to discard
the county's 40 voting machines, which
have been used in years past in the 80

killed at about $3.50 o'clock Monday
night in the Northern Pacific freight
yards, near Livingston, while he and
two other men were in pursuit of a
burglar whom they thought had

The other two members Of the par

leaving the officer to inspect the rear
cars. Upon their return they found
him lying unconscious beside the rails
with a bullet hole below his heart.
He died before a physician reached
the Gene. No one was with him at
the time of the accident and he died
without making a statement.
The officer is survived by a wife
and six small children:
