It will he showm at the Arcade Theatre Friday and Saturday. ' As a dancer Miss Pennington has won recognition for herself and her former productions on the screen more than proved her ability to act before the camera. In "Susie Snow flake," also a Famous Players- Para mount production, she was seen as the delightfully hoydenish daughter of an actress, driven by circumstance to live in n prim New England village. In "The Rainbow Princess," as a dar infr . circus perfoyner, she won new laurels. A distinct change from both of the roles was furnished for her in the part of Justina in "The Little Roy Scout." She appeared as a rebellious niece of old Miguel Alvarez, living with his family near the Uio Grande in Mexico. The old uncle is a miser and ft tyrant and attempts to force her to marry his weakling son in or der to bring her money into his .wn coffers. Justina, however, has the Anuvi.-an love of liberty inherited from her mother who was a New Englander. and on the very eve of her wedding runs away on the donkey of the priest who had len summoned to marry her. Her adventures from this point from a sequence of events both hum erous iwxl fclrnmntic that hold the onlooker breathless. How she stum bles right onto the sentry of a United Stages Army camp and how her don key betrays her presence by vigor ously braying, how the soldiers help tr make her way to her mother's siBter in New England and what hap- : pens when she gets there, is all told with all tho charm and piquancy which ' ornly Ann Pennington could give it. As a boy scout Miss Pennington completely subjugated the he-r.-ts of the dozen or so youngsters, members of that organization who were called in to add "local color" and incident ally instruct the star in the gentle art of wig -wagging ond other scout mysteries.

Why does water put out tire? This Is at flint puzzling question, because back in your mind is the thought that, since hydrogen ami oxygen, ure neces sary to muke u flro burn. It seems strnuge thut water, which Is composed of oxygon aud hydrogen, will also put It out. A burning Are throws off heat, but If too much of the beat Is taken from the flro suddenly the temperature of the Ore Is sent down so far below the point at which the oxygen of the air will combine with It tbut the flro con. not bum, says tho Book of Wonders. We speak commonly as though water thrown on a Are drowns it. That Is practically wbut happens. Scientifi cally what happens Is tuut the water thrown upon tho Sre absorbs so much of the heat to Itself that the tempera ture of the flro Is reduced, below the point where oxygen will combine with the carbon In the burning material and the tire goes out. Man Who Succeed. Thomas E. Wilson, the Chicago pack er, says In the American Magazine: "The higher up ho is the more de pendent an executive becomes on those nnder him. The real success of an ex ecutive, it seems to me, rests on his ability to promote wisely, and at the same time to keep the force working In harmony and contentment. A little jealousy here and there in an organ ization cuu ruin Its efficiency. I have known men who bad enough general grasp of things to have made great de partment muuugers, ouly they could not get along harmoniously with those about them. If a man1 can't get along pleasantly with his associates he can not successfully handle a force of men. I never like to promote a man to a re sponsible place if he has failed to work In hearty co-operation with the men ulougslde of hlin. When you hear men say of their boss, 'Ho is n good fellow to work for," you may know he is a successful executive." Brandon the Executioner. June 20, 104!), was the day on which Richard Brandon, ofllctnl executioner for the city of London, died, says the Dundee Advertiser. Tradition has it that he decapitated Charles I. and was puid $150 for bis pains, all in half crowns, within half an hour after the deed. He Is also reported to have been presented with an orange stuck full of cloves and n handkerchief out of the king's pocket as soon as ho was car ried from the scaffold. Brandon was at once offered 20 shillings for the or ange, but he refused this sum and aft erward accepted 10 shillings in a mar ket thoroughfare. In the buriul regis ter of Whlteclmpel there may be seen the following entry under 1(140:' "June 21 Richard Brandon, a man out of Rosemary Lane. This Richard Bran don ts supposed to have cut off the bead of Charles I." Extent of Africa. Nearly one-fourth of the earth's land surface is comprised within the conti nent of Africa, and It is as far around the coast of Africa as It Is around the world. Every eighth person of the world's population lives in the dark continent. The blacks double their number every forty years ond the whites every eighty years. There are 843 languages and dialects spoken among the blacks of Africa, but ouly a few of them written. One area In Af rica unoccupied by missionaries is three times the size of New England, a second would make four states like New York, and another Is eighteen times the size of Ohio. Throughout Africa there Is one missionary for ev ery 133,000 souls Christian Herald. Conscience Satisfied. "Lizzie, wlil you be uiitie V" "Not ou yotir life." "Don't you love me?" "No, I don't and never did." "Are you sure?" i "Absolutely sure! I would rather be shot than marry yon!" "Thank you for them kind words, Lizzie.
