"SKINNEU'S DHESS SUIT"
A plcturizalion of the Saturday Eve
ning Tout Htory by Henry Irving
Dodge.
Wid, the foremost photoplay critic
of the country, has this to say of
hKtnners Dress suit: ' "Here is a
case where the author has gotten down
to human fundamentals and given you
In the intimate little touches of hu
man life with the result that you feel
that you know these characters bo
well that you pass overdue possibly
Improbable events on the finish sim
ply because you appreciate the hu
man manner in which these incidents
are registered."
The plot has to do with a young
man who promise;! nis wire to get a
raise, and when It was refused by the
boss he lied to his wife and told her
he had gotten it, taking the additional
"ten" per Meek from his personal ac
count to Land it in, at home. The
faked Increase caused wifs and
hubby to buy new clothes which
brought social auccess and afterwards
a feeling of self-respect, although at
tho same time making employers quite
suspicious of their cashier. They
send him to St. Paul to see a lost cus
tomer whilo they checked up his
books. Through the use of somo
strategy, working on tho social aspira
tions of the customer's wife, the cash
ier landed the order while the bosses
learn that his books are O. K. When
lid returns he la made salesmanager
and later, a member of the firm.
The production wins you from the
start. It is absolutely human with
out a single false note.

Remarkable Feat That It Credited to
Member of the New York
Fire Department
How a fisherman liiRsoed and cap
tured an osprey, or flshhawk, with a
hand flshllne, is told by a correspond
ent of the New York Sun. A number
of fishermen were on tionnt, he say.,
and we were anchored with lines out
In every, direction. I was fishing from
the starboard side of the top deck,
near the stern, when suddenly It made
a dive for a bergle that was floating
on the water a short distance from the
boat, between two lines, but nearer
the line of Mr. John Woods of the
New York fire department.
Mr. Woods tr'ed playfully to throw
hla line over the bird, and somehow
he actually succeeded In looping the
line round Its left wing in such a man
ner that It could not escape.
The hooks did not catch at all, for
they were far beyond, but the osprey
was securely lassoed. It was at' once
an exciting and a ludicrous task to reel
In the big bird. It struggled despe
rately, and had It not been for the
length of line beyond It, with a ten
ounce sinker at the end, It might have
been necessary to reel it down from
the sky instead of up from the sea.
When it was brought to the deck and
found Itself In the strong but not un
kind hands of a group of fishermen, It
seemed frightened, angry and disgust
ed ; but, strange to say, it did not flgh
its captors.
Someone suggested killing it, and
one man urged sending It to an avl
nry; but above all the other voices I
heard a self-appointed counsel for the
prisoner, pleading for Its liberty with
an oratory effective If not classical
"Aw, let the poor fellow go !' And
bo, on reflection, said the jury.
When the bird was set at liberty,
none the worse for its strange udveu'
ture, it shot strnlght down among the
lines again, got the bergle It started
out to get, and then leisurely flew
away. .

TIME FOR BOSS TO GET BUSY
Paddy's Earnest Warning Seems to
Have Been Justified by the Facta
of the Case.
Paddy was out of work, and passing
a works he saw a notice which said a
stoker was wanted.
Of course, he could use a spade, so
he applied and got the Job. It seems
the man who held the job before was
sacked because he lost time, and nat
urally his mates wouldn't tell Paddy
how to go about his fresh job.
The boss told him to watch the pres
sure gauge, and If he wanted to know
anything he was to go and ask the
boss.
For a while all went well. Paddy
shoveled the coal on, and the gauge
registered full pressure: and he
worked away until the safety valve
Started blowing off. Still he worked
away, and the steam still escaped
through the safety valve.
Paddy, not knowing what was the
matter, ran to the boss, and said :
"Boss, if you don't be coming to
this boiler, the boiler will be coming
to you I"
Good Shooting Story.
A farmer tells a story of his shoot
ing. Says he: "I was very much trou
bled with these winged thieves (the
birds), for they made terrible havoc
among the corn. I put scarecrows up
till I was tired, so I look my gun,
loaded with powder and pellets, and
you should have seen the (jU'mlity I
brought down in one day. One morn
ing my boy rushed indoors and yelled :
'Dad, hundreds of birds among the
corn !' I took my gun, put in the pow
der, but could not find the shot, so 1
thrust In a handful of tacks and oif I
ran. Getting to the corn I yelled pret
ty hard, and up Hew the birds Into
a tree. Iselng excited, I tired, and be
hold every bird was nailed to the tree,
with their wings flapping as If flying.
Struck with the sight, I stood watch
ing them, when the blessed things
pulled up the tree and flew away with
it, leaving me in disgust."

Mike's Foolish Question.
The talk topic at a recent socinl
session turned to the propensity that
some people have for asking foolish
questions when this hnppy little In
cident was recalled by Harry Fox, the
well-known actor.
One Sunday morning last summer
the weather was so exceedingly hot In
Pat's happy home that he took himself
out to the back porch for his Sabbath
shave.
While Pat was performing the op
eration of amputating his bristle his
next door neighbor Mike sauntered
out 6n the back porch adjoining.
"Shnre, Pat," pleasantly remarked
Mike, leaning on the partition railing,
"how comes It thot yez air shavin' on
the outside this niornln'?"
"Begorra, Molke, an' how can 01
help It?" responded Pat, his eyes mer
rily twinkling through a mass of lath
er. "Do yes think for wan minute
thot Oi'm furlined?" Philadelphia

Lucky for Him.
A well-known athlete says that on
entering a Turkish bath one night lie
found a stranger struggling in the
swimming pool. There was nobody
near, and the man was evidently un
able to swim, having jumped in pn.b-
ably without ascertaining whether the
water would be above his head.
The athlete swam to the assistance
of the struggling man. Grasping him
by the hair, he towed him to the side
of the tank and assisted him to hang
on until he recovered his breath.
What were the first words uttered
by the rescued one? Did he stammer
out thanks to his human preserver?
No. The human mind Is a curious af
fair. As the half-drowned man strug
gled back to consciousness, memories
of an old jest seemed to flit through
his brain, for he said :
"Lucky for me I wasn't bald
headed !"
