Old Pasture Now A Mart Bat Cows Remember It (Brooklyn Eagle.) Two cows with long memories held vp traffic for about 500 good citizens at Church and Flatbush avenues at noon, and but for patrolman Endersson, of the Snyder avenue station, they would be holding it up still. The Church and Flatbush corner is a very busy place at noon, the busiest la Flatbush. Clanging street cars make up the chief part of its landscape and nothing in the nature of grass or a barn is anywhere in sight. But the corner was once the center of the old town of Flatbush, where the town pump Btood, and the drinking trough, for man and beast, had its place of honor. Now, nobody knows where the cows came from, but evidently they were exiles from once rural Flatbush and were on the way back. They remembered what Flatbush had been. They were locking for the town pump and the trough. It was the noon hour and 4ime for every Belf-respectlng cow to have a drink. Although the two could see nothing but trolley tracks and lunchrooms on the corner, they knew very well that the trough had nce Ibeen there, and what had once been Should still be. The good citizens of Flatbush beicame a little frightened at the sight iof the mad, mad cows. One of them itelephoned to the police that a me!nageri8 had been broken open and wildcats were dtvourlng the Flatbush

Miss Clark has always succeeded in making extremely entertaining and sparkling on the screen. It concerns the fortunes of a little country girl who aspires to be an artist and seeks the advice of a noted painter as to the merit of her work, only to be told that her talents along artistic lines are extremely limited. However, her charms attract a young, rich idler, who sees in her a welcome relief from the sophisticated women of his acquaintance in constant pursuit of him for his wealth. He establishes her in a fashionable hotel

N WASHINGTON. Fidelity to history is one of the features of Daid Wark Griffith's latest picture, "Scarlet Days," which will be shown at tha Washington theatre dur

ing the first part, of the week. He has : aimed to produce a tme screen ac- j count of the romantic days of '49 in I the California mining towns. To his ! task he brought all his uncanny faith-1 fulness in detail, which is always no-! table in Griffith pictures. For instance, he transported his company to Toulumne, an old mining village now ! in ruins, and resurrected every build-! ing with the aid of the carpenter, ex- j actly as it used to be. Even the i

on Display at Louvre v (London Tit-Bits) What is said to be the oldest harp in the world is preserved at the Louvre Museum in Paris. It was found in an Egyptian tomb and is nearly 4,000 years old. Others dat- " ing back 3,000 years have been disheld in such high regard by the ancient Celtic races that harpers were covered, while the instrument was treated with veneration and distinction, their lands being free and their persons sacred. In his interesting booklet on the harp. Sir Robert Hadfield, the steel magnate, who has made a study of the history of the instrument, mentions that Ireland's most famous harp Is now in Trinity . College, Dublin. This belonged to the. Irish monarch, Ilrian Borumba, who came to the throne In 1005 A. D. An extraordinary Incident in the history of the instrument concerns its presentation by King Brian's son ifronaugh to the pope of that time, John XVIII. in order to obtain absolution for the murder of his brother I Teig. For a while the harp was deposited in the Vatican, being ultii hiately sent by Pope Leo X to King filenry VIII, with the title, "Defender I nf the Faith." written under the
