SCENE FROM "A NIGHT OUT."
THERE Is literally n riot of fun
when Charles Chaplin takes "A
Night Out," the title of Uia new
two reel comedy. With Ben 'l'urpiu
he goes to a hotel, where-tbey proceed
to make the town dry b.v drinking
ererytliing In sight After spilling a
pie over a "dandy" and a Welsh giant
and being nearly choked to death they
aro hurled out into the street At
home again they run across a woman
In pajamas, with a poodle. The dog
Insists on following Chaplin Into his
room and the woman rushes after It.
Chaplin taken refuge in the bathroom.
The husband returns. His wife sees
him and hides. After the distracted
hubby rushes downstairs Mr. Chap
lin escorts the dog and the lady back
to her room when the husband again
appears. Chaplin takes refuge in the
bed. where he is discovered when the
husband unconsciously sits upon him,
and a great mixup takes place before
things are peaceably settli-d
The exploitation of the suffrage film
"Your Girl and Mine," with the co-oper
ation of the women's suffrage organi
zations over the country, Is proving a
great success. In all of the big cities
prominent ladles are devoting them
selves to the proper presentation of
this film, accompanied by speeches in
favor j>t their movement.
Some clever new steps are shown In
the comedy "The Fox Trot Craze,"
with Ernest Shields as the chief fox
trotter.
The Augusta (Ga.) Herald carried al
most an entire page devoted to three
stories of film companies now working
in that city. Edgar Lewis is making
■'The Xew Governor," and Frank Pow
ell is working on "The Valley of the
Missing." Mr. Lewis staged some very
realistic mob scenes in the streets of
Augusta and had the assistance of the
militia to get the proper "atmosphere."
BEN WILSON.
Ben Wilson, n moving picture actor,
la nothing else if not an idealist lit
predicts that In a very few years only
the great, noble, big things will be
lone in pictures, and all the petty,
stupid "mellerdramas" will be a thing
it the past
Few who have seen the strange
ittle ferrets have not been Impressed
by their oddity. Originally brought
from Africa to Spain, the ferret if
jlosely allied to the weasel and the
polecat families and is principally
ised in modern countries for the ex
ermlnation of rats, mice and otliei
lousehold pests. Numerous views ol
:his interesting auiinal are shown in
:he moving picture animal study ot
'errots.
BUNKOED BY
A GR^EK
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1915, by the McClurc
Newspaper Syndicate.
The pair of us bail been in Athens
three or four days wlien a party of
English excursionists who were mak
ing a tour arrived. Among them was
an antiquary who was looked up to
and respected for his knowledge of
ancient history and ruins.
Professor Hitnstead. as lie was named,
had been charged to pick up all the old
Greek manuscripts to be had for mon
ey, and it was his inquiries for such
documents that doubtless led to our un
doing. One day a man named Talanti,
who had somewhat the manners and
dress of a gentleman, brought the pro
fessor two ancient manuscripts as a
present, and to show his further good
will he announced a valuable discovery
which had just been made on the is
land of Aeglna, about forty miles dis
tant He was the owner of the island,
and while his workmen were getting
out some stone they had come across
some rare treasures in art. but had de
veloped only a small portion of them.
They had partly uncovered a stone box
which he believed held a large number
of manuscripts and valuable coins, but
he had delayed the opening of it that
some of his friends might be present
Three or four of them were going to
his Island home tomorrow, and he
would be glad to have, on his yacht as
many of us foreigners go along as
could make it convenient.
Aside from the English party, there
were Americans, Germans and French
men to the number of twenty in Ath
ens, and when the list was made up
we numbered over forty, of whom ten
were ladies. When we went ou board"
there was considerable surprise at find
ing her the craft she was. She was
nothing more than n trader, and her
accommodations were of a primitive
character.
My friend the professor could speak
Greek, but when he entered into con
versation with Mr. TaiantFs friends he
found them sulky enough. This excit
ed our surprise, as they were supposed
to be gentlemen. When we came to
look them over we began to get a little
suspicious. - ■
As wo approached the island we saw
it was fairly covered with trees, yet it
did not have a hospitable look. As we
made a close approach we could see a
couple of rude huts and a primitive
Km* Mf TftlonH PVnlninwl that
Ills castle was hiddeii"by the forest and
that he was landing at that point to
save us a Ions walk.
As soon as the rraft was made fast
the three eminent friends of Mr. Ta
latiti suddenly produced pistols and
knives and took tlielr station by the
gangway. The sailors divided Into two
parties, and, handling their naked
knives in a menacing fashion, they
drove the people into-liue.
"When Professor Hlmstead had rub
bed Ills eyes, scratched his head and
got it iuto bis brain tliat~sometbing
not down on the program was going on
Talanti mounted a box aud smilingly
observed: _
"Ladles and gentlemen, you are now
about to pass ashore to behold my
wouderl'nl discoveries, but each one of
you is required to leave all money
and jewelry behind you. I will see
that everything is safely cared for!"
The men cried out in anger, but what
could thej* do? I do not think there
was a firearm among them, while the
Greeks seemed overanxious to use
their knives. There were protesta
tions and threats of the law, but
Talanti only smiled at them and or
dered the work to go on. Each man
in the crowd was regularly held up—
that Is, his pockets were thoroughly
searched and everything of value tak
en. The women were requested to
band over, and each one bad her
jtatoh aud rings in hand as she mov
ed up. In the course of half an hour
every otm was ashore, and then Talan
ti took off his 11at, made a sweeping
bow and sailed away with his piratical
crew. lie had no sooner gone than
half a dozen villainous looking men
came down from the hut.
They told us they were fishermen,
but their actions belled their state
ment. Their first move was to de
maud cash, aud great was their indig
nation and disappointment at being
told that Talanti's crowd had taken
the last coin. When sure of this they
left us. and an hour later two genuine
fishermen came ashore in their boat.
There were a dozen vessels within five
or six miles of us, and a dollar would
have been big pay for them to go out
and notify the nearest one of our sit
uation; but. realizing our helplessness,
they demanded the sum of §100.
It was almost dark when a battered
old schooner came sailing up to take
us off, and the terms were $2 a piece,
to be paid in Athens. We spent a
dreary night on deck and landed in
the city at noon next day. Immedi
ately notice was given to the various
consuls and to the Greek government,
but uo one had any faith that anything
would be accomplished. The govern
ment made loud promises and seemed
to be making all nivislblfi^ffprts; but.
as a matter of fact. Mr. Talanti was
uot even pursues!. He n:>vcr could
have put up suc-li a j«»l» without a nura-,
bor of officials standing in with him.
and encli and every one of them doubt
loss :-o;i in tiie plunder when it was
divide;', it was said that the money
and jewelry amounted to clout $0,000.
and the only consolation any of the
victims had was the privilege of abus
ing a country where such things could
be carried out.
Look Ahead!
There are some persons who ride
all through the journey of life with
their backs to the horse's head. They
are always looking into the past. They
are forever talkiug about the good old
times and how different things were
when they were young. There is no
romance iu the world now, and no
heroism. The very winters and sum
mers are nothing to what they used to
be. In fact, life is altogether on a
small, commonplace Bcale. Now. that
is a miserable sort of thing. It brings
a kind of paralyzing chii! over life and
petrifies the natural spring of joy that
should be forever leaping up to meet
the fresh new mercies that the day
keeps bringing.—Exchange.
Some Extremes.
The coldest place on earth inhabited
by man is Verkhoyansk, above the arc
tic circle. In northeastern Siberia. The
thermometer there drops to 00 degrees
below zero in January, but sometimes
rises to SG degrees above zero in the
shade iu July, dropping, however, to
the freezing point on the warmest sum
mer nights.
The hottest place in the world is the
Interior of the great Sahara desert, in
Africa, where the thermometer rises
to 122 degrees. The wettest place is
Grey town, Nicaragua, where the mean
annual rainfall is 200 Inches. The
place of least rain Is Port Nolloth, in
South Africa, where less than an inch
sometimes falls in a year.
French Foreign Legion
It is the boast of the French Foreign
legion that it can provide men from
its own ranks to meet any contingen
cy. Its commander once said his men
were capable not only of winning a
war, but of writing its history. On
one occasion, when a new barracks
was being erected, the legion ranks
supplied half a dozen qualified archi
tects, and time and again on the bat
tlefield, when the call has been for doc
tors, the legionaires have stepped for
ward and acknowledged their medical
qualifications. Once, says tradition,
when no padre was available to con
duct a burial, the commandant appeal
ed to the ranks. A man stepped out
and saluted. He had been a bishop.
