Majestic.
The manager of tlie above place
of amusement baa secured a picture
as good as bis last feature. "The
Cowboy Millionaire.*' It is enti
tled "The Leopard Queeen" a nov
elty picture in which a lady takes
the leading part, training the wild
animals of the African wilderness.
The subject Is unusual and Is devel
oped to produce an interesting suc
cession of views, which suggests Af
rica true to life. The subject also
shows some interesting Jungle pic
tures, including making camp and
the capture of wild beasts alive, such
as elephants, leopards and tigers, by
means of nets. Pictures are also
shown of the lady trainer making
a decided hit at the hippodrome,
Paris, France, with a well trained
pair of leopards. This picture will
no doubt be liked better by some
than the "Cowboy Millionaire," such
subjects are unusual to see in mo
tion pictures and are in a class by
themselves. As usual they are show
ing an excellent comedy with the
Leopard Queen" entitled "Cupid's
Four Darts." It is said to be fun
ny to the most extreme. The song
is "Let the Roses Tell My 8tory."
Lyric.
"A Child of the Forest" is the fea
ture at the Lyric Wedensday and
Thursday. The western stories of
fered at this house nearly all have
a convincing quality about them
which causes one to wonder at the
fidelity to the faces and the careful
acting which make the pictures ap
pear like a bit of real life picked up
on the planets and transferred to
canvas. This picture clearly depicts
the despicable characteristics of the
average Indian and undoubtedly rep
resents him as he is, a dangerous
and treacherous foe. It is not only
a pleasant story but a beautiful one,
the scenery being taken from a vast
quantity of negatives taken from the
beauty spots of Oregon. The film
is accurate in its delineation and
gives a great reproduction of some
of the unpleasant experiences the pi
oneers had when dealing with the
cunning Indian. Two first class pan
tomimes entitled "Charity Reward
ed" and "Satan's Smithy." go to
make the Wednesday and Thursday
nights program.
DRIVE U. S. BOATS
OFF HALIBUT BANKS
Canadian Steamers Active on Coast
of British Columbia.
VANCOUVER, B. C., Dec. 29.—
The activity of the Canadian gov
ernment fisheries steamer Kestrel
and the chartered steamer William
Jollife on the halibut banks of the
northern coast of British Colum
bia has resulted practically in driv
ing the American fishing fleet from
those waters.
During the past few months the
Canadian fisheries protective steam
ers have been closely guarding the
banks inside the three mile limit in
Hecate strait and Dixon entrance
to the northern waters, keeping fish
ermen on the move and ousting them
from the shelter of Canadian harbors
when the weather was such as to per
mit them 10 take to the open. This
has caused the American boats no
end of worry and financial loss, a
number of steamers having lost
anchor chains while trying to weath
er storms in .ue open.
Practically all the smaller hali
but boats flying the American flag
have left Canadian waters this win
ter because of the activity of the
Canadian cruisers. The halibut
boats are nearly all auxiliary gaso
line schooners, and are now oper
ating on the banks of the Alaska
coast. The American steamers, bet
ter fitted than the power boats for
weathering storms in the open, are
still fishing in Hecate straits, but
are being kept outside the three
mile limit by the cruisers.

DEADLOCK OVER BUILDING
House Wants Native Stone and Sen

HELENA, Mont., Dec. 29.—The
deadlock existing in the special ses
sion or the legislature over the ques
tion of aubetitutilng Montana stone
for the cheaper Bedford, Indiana,
product to be used in the construc
tion of the proposed wings of the
state houae. continued today with lit
tle hope of a break in the senate,
which is republican, and favors the
use of the Indiana stone, advancing
as *n argument against the demo
cratic houae which desires to use
ihe Montana stone for n substitute,
that the employment of the home
Product will necessitate an extra ap
Propria tion.
TVmi HeUwii >>
By a traveler in Italy the Rubicon,
the famous river crossed by Julius
Caesar, is described aa "the merest
trickle of a stream, in which It would
be quite impossible for a mail to drown
himself."
Oxygen.
Oxygen forms one-fifth of the atmos
phere eight-ninths of the waters and.
tahlng all together, one-half of all the
materials of the globe, so far as they
are known. As carbon is the basis of
all the organic substance# of the world,
so oxygen, the supporter of life and
combustion, represents Its living ener
gies.
Tiny Parasites.
Since the Dutch philosopher Leeu
wenhoek discovered that the pope of
the flea was sometimes preyed on by
the larva of a mite it has been weU
known that various small Insects have
their external parasites.
The River Jordan.
The Jordau is tbe "Descender." Dur
ing its course It fails over 1,200 feet.
At no point Is it navigable even by n
small craft to auy considerable dis
tance and presents the unique specta
cle of a river which baa never been
navigated flowing Into n sea which
contains not one living creature.
Humming Birds.
The humming bird, of wbicb about
400 species have been recognised, is
so called because of the humming
sound which is produced by tbe rapid
vibration of its wings.
Why Water Won't Fry.
Why cannot we fry In water? Be
cause water can only be heated to tbe
boiling point. 212 degrees, and any ad
ditional heat does not Increase its tem
perature. Two hundred and twelve de
grees of heat will not brown tbe sur
face of anything. Fat on tbe con
trary. can be made much hotter, tbe
temperature depending on tbe kind.
Money Postcards.
They remit money by postcard In
Italy most conveniently. Tbe sum in
stamps is stuck on a postcard, tbe
stamps are canceled, and tbeir cash
value Is promptly paid tbe recipient
at the otber end.
Abandoned Cisterns.
An abandoned cistern is often a dan
gerous thing and should be filled, as
stagnant water wbicb may remain In
It is a common source of disease. If
this cannot be done at once It is a good
plan to throw in proper disinfectants
and gradually fill It up with sifted
coal asbes.
The Lotus.
Tbe lotus, supposed to be tbe roee
of Sharou spoken of in tbe Bible, was
a blue or white water plaut held sa
cred in Egypt as typifying tbe crea
tion of tbe world and was sacred to
the gods Ostris and Isis.
The 8ponge.
Tbe sponge reproduces its kind main
ly by eggs. In each animal are con
tained both tbe male aud tbe female
elements, and it throws out tbe ova to
be hatched in tbe water. At first tbe
young are free swimming, aud after
ward they attach themselves to con
venient spots and grow.
Diamond Test.
It is claimed that there is no acid
having any perceptible effect upon a
genuine diamond. Hydrofluoric acid
will if dropped upon a stone made of
glass corrode it. but upon tbe bona
fide stone it will have no effect at all.
Lions and Gorillas.
Tbe formJilableue88 of tbe great apes
as compared with otber beasts is not
an easy matter to pass upon. In Afri
ca it is noteworthy that tbe lion and
tbe gorilla do not occur together, and
it has been coujectured both that the
lion has exterminated tbe gorilla with
in its territory and that tbe gorilla has
driven out the lion.
Wall Papsr.
To discover whether or Dot there is
arsenic in your wall paper take a frag
ment of It and put It In a solution of
ammonia, if arsenic is present tbe
liquid will assume a bluish tint.
A Lesson In Washing.
Pliny the Great could see things in
front of bis nose us well as afar off.
"1 notice that tbe women rub the
washing in cold waier," be wrote one
day. "Let them beat tbe water, and
tbe alkali in tbe soap will be freed and
take far better effect." And only after
that did women know bow to wash.
He Loved Lawyers.
It is sakl that Peter tbe Greet, after
witnessing a contest between two emi
nent counsel at Westminster, London,
remarked: "When 1 left St. Petersburg
there were two lawyers there. When
1 get back I will bang one of them."
Ancient Papyrus.
In preparing papyrus tbe Interior of
tbe stalk of tbe plant, after the rind
bad been removed, was cut Into thin
slices in the direction of their length,
and. these being laid on a flat surface,
similar slices were placed over them
crosswise. Tbeir surfaces were ce
mented together by some kind of glue
and subjected to tlie required degree
of pressure and well dried, and tbe fa
mous wrlilug material was reedy for

Recalling what little opportunity he had in
hia early youth to get an education, and look*
ing back to the days when ho walked miloa
and miles for&book(for he then owned none
of his own), Abraham Lincoln pleaded with
the rural and village people, his old friends
and associates to give their children a better
chance— a chance to fight the battles of life
successfully.
SURELY YOU want to give your bey* and girls n better

education; you can give this same opportunity or better to
your family right in your own home. Good books—valuable
books. Obi how Lincoln cherished those.
