t'Cn of tbe ten'lerly poetic ap peal of "Tbe Birth of a Nation" is due. to tbe subtle acting of Mlsa Lillian Gish in tbe part of Elsie Stoneniau, tbe Northern heroine. Miss Gish is a little creatuMtf. of the "golden- aureole" blond typei which mnes for photographic beauty." She 'is singularly graceful, and,, her features never lose their piquancy. Her eyes before the cnniera are singularly expressive, and her acting conveys .sincerity, a a well as true feminine charm. Perhaps the most poetical scene of tb entire drama is the one in which sli and Henry Walrhnll. as her Southern lover, pour out their hearts to onch & Copyright, 1916, by the McClure

ST THE POETICAL PICKLE "I wish I had a cracker and a pickle." jMary had been waited upon so much ft that she didn't know very well how TT to gat anything for herself. She hunted around, however, and finally she J found the cracker jar and took out a Tgood handful of the little biscuits she liked best and then began to search ffor a pickle. Just as she closed the door to the cupbeard she heard a faint voice that. & nounded as If it was either. a way off t or was shut up very tightly in someAt hies, and the voice said: . , . ! Jjt "You man hunt high and low, you may hunt near and far, But you'll fimM-'m th f , Pickle in the bouse." - ? J "Well, isn't that the1 queejeit thing, f. thought Mary. "I didn't know pickles could talk," and then she said aloud: r "If you thintv that was poetry you are w.very much mistaken, for 'house' does not rhyme with 'far '" f"V She had scarcely said this when she heard the same faint voice again, ;;and this time it said: v . . - "I know the verses did not rhyme, 1 did not mean them to. . l'm very near to where you ure, In something you can see me through." "That's better than the other verse." said Mary, as if she were taiking to the f pickle, "but I don't see anything very :near mc that I can see through that tou would likely be in." i"It you don't hunt you sure won't X find; You're in front of the thing that I am V. . behind." t "What am I in front of?" Mary askcu herself, and then she looked all L around herself. "I am right in front of the cupboard, but I have just looked grimo that, and surely mother don't C keep pickles behind the stove or hack got the chair or out of the window. I don't see where that is." jL'Trcm where I am to where you are H Ig not so very far. j:The shortest line from me to to you Is perpendicular. ; She took another look through the y-cupboard, but it was as bare of any X Picklea as it had been before. "Well whatever perpendicular means," said .;Mary. "I wish I was it," and all at ;once she Btraightened up Just as straight as she could be, and when X.Bhe tried to bend over she couldn't t.and when she tried to lock down to Jsee what had happened she couldn't because she couldn't move from a jisrrctljt upright position...,) .

Not daring, at this point ia their courtship to kiss each other, they lavish their affections alternately on the nesting bird. Another scone in -which Miss Gizb displays her exquisite oliprm : the on in which Newspaper Syndicate, New York. "If this is being perpendicular'" said Mary "It is very uncomfortable," for I can't bend out of a straight up-and-down position.", "It's up or down I surely am And up it cannot be. To reach the place where I am hid "You'll have to bend your knee." Then all at once Mary thought of down cellar. "That answers the description pretty, I guess, If It up or down it must be down, and if it Is perpendicular it must be straight down. If I could only get over being perpendicular 1 would go down cellar and see." And then Mary found that she could bend and she went to the cellar door and started down stairs. Mary looked all around to see if there was anything upstairs, and in a miuute she decided that the cupboard over in the corner was what the pickle meant, and she went over and opened the door and there was the pickle jar and through the glass she could see the last pickle In the house and then she knew what " it meant when it said: "I know the verses did not ryhme, I did not mean them to; I'm very near to where you are, . In something you can see me through." "Well," I have certainly been a lot of trouble," said Mary; "but I don't know as I ought to eat a pickle that can talk. If it says anything when I go to bite it why, I will put It back." But the pickle did not say a word; it only looked sour. SHOOTS SIX COONS. COLUMBUS, Ind., Feb. 10.

THE CIRCUIT RIDERS The best account of these noble and courageous men I have found in Eggleston's story of "The Circuit Rider." It depicts in glowing language their zeal, self-denial and perseverance. The danger and hardship they endured to stem the tide of lawlessness. On the frontier was a class af men who were murderers, horse thieves and gamblers; having no permanent homes but raiding tbe whole country; to the terror of the honest settlers. The first circuit formed in IndiHna was in 1807 and was called the Whitewater circuit. Rev. Joseph ...Williams was the preacher in charge. The circuit embraced all of Indiana. In 1808 he reported that there were but 160 members of the first Methodist church within bis circuit. In one year these circuit riders would cover 5,000 miles, filling from 500 to 600 appointments and having the care of numberless scattered churches in the wilderness These preachres endured many hardships. There were no roads except "blazed" bridle paths, through much of the country. The streams were unbridged and they traveled with their guns on their shoulders to defend themselves from man and beast. In the very early times there were no church buildings to accommodate the congregation, and it was literally true that "The Groves were God s first temples." In one of these groves the first Methodist camp meeting was held in Wayne county in the fall of 1810. They would generally last a week and would be attended by hundreds many of whom rode from fifteen to twenty miles on horseback. These preachers seldom received any salary consequently they dressed in the plainest homespun that was contributed by some of their parishoners. Some even traveling barefoot withoue hat or change of clothing. It was said of Russell Biglow that his clothes were ill-fitting blue drilling. He was unshaven and his long hair reached his shoulders. Yet in spite of his appearance his denunciation of sin has such an effect on his congregation that many were seized with that curious nervous affection called the "jerks," and were not able to walk or keep their hats on. Methodism was introduced into Richmond in 1822. He preached in a small log school house and organized a class of seven members, with George Smith as leader. These preachers referred everything to God in prayer, . and the belief in divine direction was often carried to a ludricrous extent. Various devices were invented for obtaining divine direction. Lorenzo Dow, an eccentric minister used to suffer his horse to- take -his pwn- course -when he

little Northern heroine is of Northern birth, just as Miss Cooper is a Southerner, her native State being Ohio. For a time in her early girlhood she and her sister Dorothy, also famous in the moving picture world, lived in Missouri with their mother. Miss Gish, when a mere child, won fame on the stage as a dancer and became a member of the ballet in one of Sarah Bernbardt's productions. She was introduced to D. W. Griffith, producer of "The Birth of a Nation." by Mary Pickford. Mr. Griffith instantly recognized her talent and rapidly promoted her in picre after picture, until he finally cast her in her present role of the Northern heroine in "The Birth of a Nation."

reached the forks in a road, feeling sure there was work for him in that direction. Others would open the Bible at random and the first text that arrested their attention was in indication of divine leading. These texts frequently formed the subject of their dis course. They played upon the fears of their audience by such remarkes as the following: "You are hair-hung and breeze-shaken over hell." "You don't say," remarked a scoffer on the edge of the crowd. Again he remonstrated: "You'll go to hell and when you get there your ribs will be nothing but a gridiron to roast your soul in." "Hurrah for the gridiron," cried the unappalled scoffer. MRS.

He claims to have slain twenty-five in that way since his career in a French regiment began. He came in pn the storm-tossed and delayed liner Chicago. While he was in France fighting his wife died in Montreal. He is on his way back to Canada to get his two children and take them to France When he arrived he was still wearing his service uniform of invisible 'grey prd-hls- steU helmet. - - .------.

RICH WIDOW TO WED EX-GOVERNOR WALSH JOSS The rumor concerning the prospect ive marriage of ex-Governor David I Walsh, and Mrs. Mabel Hunt Slater, has been revived by the publication of the following in ex-Mayor John Fitz gerald's paper, The Republic: "We wish Governor Walsh a pleas ant vacation. He worked very hard while governor and earned a rest. "The fact that he is going to the Orient, and, in all probability, will visit members of the Slater family, has led to many reports of his marriage with Mrs. Slater, which both deny.

She said Mr. Storey paid her tuition and gave her money for incidental expenses at college. She introduced him to her friends in college. She did not remember saying that she refused to invite him to a party because he did not dress properly. On April 15, 1914, she received a telephone message that he was in Boston. He invited her to luncheon and told her that he had made his will and had remembered her and her brother and that he gave $10,000 to the Floating Hospital. He executed his will that day. He did not take a drink at the luncheon she said. .

"I'd certainly give most anything to be able to fat up a few pounds and stap that way," declares every excessively thin man or woman. Such a result is not impossible, despite past failures. Most thin people are victims of mail-nutrition, a condition which prevents the fatty elements of food from being taken up by the blood as they are, when the powers o nutrition are normal. Instead of getting into the blood, much of the fat and flesh producing elements stay in the intestines until they pass from the body as waste. To correct this condition and to produce a healthy, normal, amount of fat, the nutritive processes must be artificially supplied with the power which nature has denied them. This can probably best 1 e accomplished by eating a Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol Is a careful combination of six splendid assimiliative ag'-ts. Taken with meals they mix with tbe food to turn the sugars and starches of what you have eaten into rich, ripe nourishment for the tissues and lood and 'ts rapid effects has been in many cases reported remarkable. Reported gains of from ten to twenty-five pounds in a single month are by no means infrequent. Yet its action is perfectly natural and abselutely harmless. Sargol is sold by Clem Thistlethwaite and other druggists everywhere and every package contains a guarantee of w eight increase or money back. NOTE Sargol is recommended only as a flesh builder and while excellent results in cases of nervous indigestion, etc., have been report"i. care should be taken about using it unless a gain of weight is desired.
