THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL 7,. 1918. 10 B x , y mmm&( i 1 -y: 'f f' II ,t',A" iff 1 : Hart BCffS tM He Be ''vi. .i, cjfcv $ ' J , Allowed to Play One V JMl i)&M Pari Whhout Being a V.V W fl Real Tough 'Gun Mart': nr ILL" HART, Thomas H. luce's 'star, has introduced a new character to the silent drama, in "Wolves of the Rail." For more than three years "Bill" has been playing "bad men" Ramblers, highwaymen, cattle rustlers, holdup men and when he finished "The Silent Man" for Artcraft he told Mr. Ince that for a change he would like to portray" a law-abiding citizen, a respectable and respected member of society. "Have a heart," said "Bill," "and try to put yourself in my place. There must be some sort of a decent type of man that I can play.' "Give me an idea and I'll trail with you," answered .Mr Ince. The next day, Hart brought' ia the basic idea of a new photoplay making a compromise. lit the first part of the story he is a bad man and becomes re formed and during the remainder of the picture he favors law and order. In his new character of "Buck." Andrade, a railroad detective, he is just as fearless and daring as when opposed to law and order, and he makes short work of ridding the rail road of outlaws. Hart in this picture performs a feat that eclipses any "thriller" heretofore seen on the screen. To prevent a loco motive from crashing into a train loaded with soldiers he gallops madly ilongside the onrushing : engine, wings himself into the engine cab, throws the rjverse lever and brings the locomotive to a standstill.' tfills for Current Wek Strand Wm." 8.

Another "water cure." which consists In forcing some two gallons of water con taining a strong antlsceptlc into the stom achs of the snake, should effect a cure.

Poor Little Lamb. The proprietor of a traveling menagerie had trained a lion and a lamb to live to gether In the same cage. The unusual sight was always well advertised beforehand, and Invariably proved a big draw. Presently, however, there came a time when the at traction ceased to figure In the show, and the showman was asked the reason. "Had to separte 'era," he replledgloomlly. "Indeed Did he turn savage, then? I thought ha looked such a mild old lion." "Llon!' Interrupted the showman. "Lion be blowed! It was the lamb.

Fatty Arbuckle was to have appearel b. fure the draft boar for re-examloatlon again last week.

The Fontenelle Feature Film company of this city announces that it has now the selling Tights In this territory of the famous Billy West comedies. This come dian is fast advancing to the foremost ranks of fundom, and his pictures are In great demand. Something had gone wrong with the lights In the Fox studio and the company was due for an enforced rest for a couple of hours. So when the doorman sent In word that a peculiar looking Thespian would lUte to see the director, K. A. Walsh, he Was given the word to send him right up. He came, a threadbare individual with saw edged cuffs, a celluloid collar and other signs of sartorial decrepitude. "Just the man I want," R. A. greeted hlm,t"I have a nice part for youi' How are you offffor clothes?" The applicant looked rather dubious. "What clothes will I need?" he asked. "Oh, not so many," said the director, "You will need a riding suit, somo evening clothes, a walking suit, something suitable for a hotel at Palm Beach, two or three business suits we must have variety you know and " ''Say!" interrupted the seedy one. "Who wrote this play the Retail Cloth'ers' association. spc Religious Hens In a Seren-Iay Race. Just a word about tho Baptist hens hl0- t Ohl There are about 200,000 hens of that faith In the Buckeye State. Today marks the beginning of the most momentous perloxl In their lives. . Kven as you read this article every one "of those hena is training herself to -hang up a new record for egg-laying, concentrating with all her might to the end that her1 allotment In the Jl, 000,000 drive which Baptists are making may be oversubscribed. Baptist laymen of that -state have prom ised that their Hens will produce at least 110,000, possibly 116,000, worth of hen fruit during the coming week, the monov for the sale of the eggs to be turned oveT to the general fund. If the hens produce less than the minimum they will be regarded as slackers. - An Idea of the strain the hens are under will be realized wen 4t Is learned that in order to save their reputation they will be compelled to release 24,000 dozen of eggs before the long grind ends next , Saturday night. It is to be known as "Golden Egg Week." Reports from the laying- line early this morning stated that every hen is expected to rise to the occasion. . Maybe sit would be a better word. Repeated cackling Indicated that every hen had got away to a flying start. In some localities the cackling sounded like the discharge of a machine gun. The fact that 160,000 of the big fund Is to go to war work is a patriotic incentive calculated to keep the hens laying at top speed. They will also be spurred on by the knowledge that One African missionary may be supported for $900, or the equivalent of 27,272 of their eggs. Our home missionary can be maintained for a year on 12,000 of their eggs. Baptist work In the national army camps can be maintained for a year by 4,600,000 of their eggs. New York Herald. When Science Failed. A woman of intellectual tastes found, It difficult to remember all the facts she col lected. She, therefore, secured the ervlces of a profssor of one of the best memory systems. Scarcely had the professor taken his departure after a successful first lesson, when a loud double knock was heard at the front door. e "Who was that, Mary?" the lady Inquired of the servant.

Nu merous pedestrians lingered a moment, dismayed, and then went on. The woman grabbed the man's coat-tail and dragged him along a few steps. He shook himself free and started in the opposite direction. She ran after him and stood deliberately in his way. They zigzagged back and forth. Their voices were thick with anger. He raised his arm threateningly. "I feel like killing you!" he stormed. Then she kicked him. And he . kicked back. Onlookers held their breaths hopefully. He glared. So did she. Then his . hand sought his pocket for a- handkerchief. Leaning over, he carefully brushed her skirt," where his shoe had left a dusty ' imprint. She smiled and tucked her arm in his. Then they walked happily away. It was in the direction she had intended he should go. Kconomy of Long Bread Loaves. A loaf weighing one pound contains 41 per cent of water if it Is round and only 34 per cent If it Is cylindrical. Therefore, she who buys long loaves gets 140 grammes more actual food for her money than she wlio buys round loaves. , The reason for this Is that the sphere, is the fluure that contains the largest pos sible volume undT tho- smallest possible surface, and, as evaporation Is a matter of surface, this is greater from 8 cyljflder than ofT", f'! a JHere of the same weight.
