ALL BROTHER HAD NOTICED
Father Need Not H ave" Worried Over
Possible Bad Effect of 'Movie'
ori Little Son.
After all, It's hard to figure out cor
rectly tho effect of the movies on the
child mind. It happened that mother
nnd sister had gone to n concert and it
was up to father to entertain little
LOCAL AND PERSONAL
movies some of them so he thought
that would serve tho purpose. Of
course you can not tell much about a
film by tho narao or by tho pictures
out in front cither for that matter.
But father likes pictures of western
life and he thought the horses and
mountnlns might please brother. So
when ho, saw the poster of a cowboy,
in they went.
It wasn't a very good sort of plcturo
hind them, willing to do anything and
everything they can to help win the
war, and that if the departing men
leave behind those who need assistance

Will Show Two Nights.
The Sammy Girls, who will receive
the receipts of the Home Guards Min-
Istrel show, are confident they can sell
enough tickets ab twenty-. Ave cents
each to more than fill tho Franklin
auditorium and have requested the
management to give the show both
Thursday and Friday evenings of next
week. Not wishing to dampen tho en
thusiasm of tho Sammy Girls their
request has been granted. Tickets pur
chased will be good for either evening.
Tho tickets have been placed at a
quarter bo that no one will be de
prived of hearing the burnt cork art
ists sing, the endmen get off their local
hits, and see the clever stunts of the
second part. By reason of this low
priced admission the Sammy Girls are
confident that tickets will sell' readily.

Jack l'lckford In "Tom Sawyer."
It is a well-known fact that Mark
Twain would never allow his famous
book, '.TOM SAWYER," to- bo drama
tlzed, for the reason that he thought It
an impossibility to show tho white
town of Hanuibal, Mo,, drowsing In
tho sunshine by the'sleepy Mississippi,
ana tno tnouisanu and one dotalls that
make his picture so vivid. And indeed
ho was right it. was impossible ,to
placo all that on tho narrow conflpos
of any stage, but many marvels have
bteen accomplished through the
medium of tho screen and the all-see
ing oyo of tho camera.
In this photoplay, the Immortal boy
hero Is mnstorfully protrayed by Jaok

mako up a perfect protrayal of tho
little Missouri town of the last century,
showing tho very houso in which Mark
Twain lived as a boy and the house
where Huck Finn lived.

where Tom engages in a fistic combat
with one of tho goody, goody, dressod

GOT RIGHT POINT OF VIEW
Autolst, When He Cooled Down, Was
Able to See Where Traffic Police
man Was Correct
The autolst was waiting for the cor
ner traffic man to glvo tho signal to
make ttye tun nt the corner. When
he thought he hod been there long
enough he began tooting his horn Im
patiently. The trnfllc man kept on tak
ing care of trafllc. Tho autolst became
moro impatient with his horn.
"You won't help matters that way,
my friend," said the trafllc man, ns he
waved him on.
"Aw, take me to Jail, but don't bawl
me outl" exclaimed the driver.
Tho policeman motioned him over to
ward tho curb. "I could take your sug
gestion, but I won't. You are angry
now, but when you cool off .you will
understand that the corner man has
many problems to contend with," sold
tho policeman. "Wo do not usually
make explanations, but I am doing so
In this case, because I think you should
realize that you are in the wrong."
Tho autolst drove on, mumbling. A
few days later ho stopped In tho same
place. "Say," he sold to the police
man, "I made a fool out of myself the
other day. I had no right to bo angry.
You fellows have enough vexations
without some ono who goes across your
corner once n day adding to them by
smart remarks."
Tho policeman smiled nnd waved
him on. That autolst today, probably
would fight for the corner man If nec

Only One Hog Had Dollar.
A fnt hog at the Omaha stock yards
coughed up a dollar when "Snuff
Smith, an employeo of a commission
company, kicked it In the head. Tho
hog was trying to run past him when
ho wanted It to go tho other way. Ho
gave It a vigorous kick. It" coughed,
gagged, sputtered a moment npd then
spat up the dollar.
Stockyard men throughout the rest
of tho day had a lot of fun about the
Incident The commission company
claimed the dollar. Smith claimed it.
The owner of tho hog claimed It, and
as n result Smith spent It for cigar's
for tho crowd.
A lot of the employees In the yards
began to kick hogs right and left In the
hope of shaking out another dollar.
Ono employee said he had kicked 012
hogs during tho day and hadn't got
even a Jitney.

Tunnel Would Pay for Itself.
It'has been proposed to construct
railway tunnel under Uio Firth of
Forth, Scotland, paralleling tho famous
bridge now spanning that body of
water, nnd to pay for tho tunnel by
making it largely a coal mining prop-i
osltion. Mining engineers point out
that coal is now being mined on both
sides of tho firth from the samo seams
nnd that much of this excavating is
dono under water. At this point tho
estuary is only about two miles wido
and it Is contended that a continuous
pnssago could bo mado beneath it by
properly co-ordinating tho mining op
erations, in tms way what would
otherwlso probably provo to bo too
costly an improvement could bo made
with profit. Popular Mechanics.
