! thrilling spectacle is the pursuit of

As a basis for promising in this re
lease the biggest of all David Hors
ley productions made so far, attention
is called to the fact that ten weeks'
time was consumed in the prepara
tion of the sets required in this pro
duction. Besides a number of settings
which ordinarily might be considered
elaborate but which in this case are
I seemingly small when compared to
the bigger sets, there are no less than
eighteen distinct set-ups of extra
ordinary proportions, ranging from
the richly furnished drawing 'loom of
the ultra-wealthy to the lavishly doe
orated 'ball rooms of the biggest cafes
of the day.
Nor is "The Ijove I.iir" exceptional
! alone in settings. The story, too, is
j unusual. It is based on deep sociolog
; ical study. Just what Mr. Horslcy
thought of the story may be gathered
from ths fact that he saw (it to give
it such elaborate production.

j Woman" will be at Sherry's tomor-

YOUNG FOLKS' CORNER
Game of Biography.
Provide the players with peiiell and
paT. The leader then announces that
a biography Is to be writteu, and the
tirst thlug to write is the name of
some person in the room. The puper
Is folded over so the name cannot be
seen and passed lo the player at his
left, who writes n date which Is the
birth date and the name of some town.
The paper Is folded again aud passed
to the left, and tills time a soutence of
ten words Is wrttleu about early child-,
hood, from one to ten years. Next a
sentence of the same length, telling
of events between twenty and forty
years; next between forty und fifty
years; date of death next: last, remark
about this life. When all has been
written the folded papers are passed
to the left again and each player rends
his paper aloud.
The more ridiculous the sentence the
better the biography, and, as no one
knows what Is under the folded parts,
sometimes the date of death will be
earlier than that of birth, or ther will
be a vast difference In time.
Example: Name, John Smith; born
July 4, 1449, Boston; from one to
len years, mischievous child, ipjur
releil with everybody, expelled from
school, stole egjis; from twenty lo for
ty ntayert home, did dressmaking, be
came sickly, remained an old nmld;
from forty to tifty became a wealthy
widower, left with three children to
raise; died Jan. 1, 180O; mom remark
able man that ever lived in his little
town.
"Milkman."
A game which children enjoy Tery
much Is "milkman." One is chosen to
be the milkman, aud the others sit in
a row. The milkman then asks them
how many quart of milk they want
and slaps their hands that many times,
lie walks away, and the players call
after him. "Hey, hey!" Uo says, "Hay
Is for horses." Players: "Straw, straw f
Milkman: "Straw Is for cows." Play
ers: "Mister!" lie then asks howuiucii
milk they want. Kaon one says he
found something In the milk, as a but
ton, a lly. and the milkman must ask j
foolish questions to make the others
laugh. The one who keeps repeating
the same answer nnd refrains from
laughter the longest Is milkman the
next time.

The Man In the Moon.
Did you ever see the man in the
moon? Did you ever hear the story
about that man? Once upon a time,
begins the story as every good story
should begin there was a man who
was lazy all week, and when Sunday
came ho had no firewood. So what
does Unit mini do but go out with his
pitchfork and steal some brushwood
to make a tire. Of course that was
very wrong of hini, so he was eon
lined in the liiiioi) for his crime that
every one might see him and know
how wicked be had been.
However, the scientists say that, the
lines aud spots are shadows of the
mountains in the moon, but you can
take your choic e of the two theories.

Why Water Freezes on Top.
Ice Is specifically lighter iban water
just about to freeze and therefore
floats In It. Tills is one reason why
the formation of ice usually begins at
the surface of the water. Another rea
son is the peculiar law of its expan
sion. The p-neral law is that cold in
duces contraction. This law holds ood
with water only to a certain point.
When it has cooled down to within
7.4 degrees of freezing It ceases to con
tract, as before, with increase of cold
and begins to expand until it freezes.
Tliis expanding would naturally cause
tin? coldest parts of the water to rise
to the surface.
