MORNING ENTERPRISE, WEDNESDAY, 'MAY 7, 1913
rS FABLE
READY FOR FILM
One of the most unique photo-plays
ever exhibited in this city will be
shown at the Bell Theatre Thursday
and Friday of this week.. The pic
ture is based upon John Bunyan's
"Pilgrim's Progress." Mr,. Bell, man
ager of the theatre, has secured these
pictures, which were produced in
Italy at an enormous cost by the
Turnio company.
The famous book, written by Bun
yan 235 years ago, needs no explana
tion and as a work of literature and
religious significance, stands only
second to the Bible. Four reels of a
total of more than 4,000 feet are nec
essary to produce the wonderful al
legory. The electrical effects which
were used are nothing short of mar
volous. Several months were requir
ed for the production, and nearly a
thousand people take part in the east
A regular lecturer accompanies the
pictures from one town to another
and stands upon the stage as they
are being shown to explain all parts.
A special piano player and singer al
so acompany the pictures, both of
which will play and sing appropriate
music. Ana Calveri, an eminent
dramatic soprano, will appear in con
cert, both before and after the "pro
duction and will sign, a number of
songs during the photo-play.
The pictures will be shown In the
Heilig theatre m Portland after they
are shown in Oregon City.

THE METHODICAL
One woman said to another
the other day:
"Florence, how do you man
age? You have prettier things
in your house, better food on
your table and wear better
clothes than I, and yet. I don't
believe you spend nearly as
much money as I do."
"I'll tell you how. I do it. I
.spend just twenty minutes a day
reading the newspapers. By
looking through the advertise
ments each day I see just where
and how I can get the smartest
things and the best values for
my money." .
"By looking at the ads, I
learn just who is selling what I
need at the best price and then
I go right after it. No matter
what I want, food, clothing, or
entertainment, I find out where
I can get it most quickly and
conveniently. Twenty minutes
a day saves me hundreds of dol
lars a year."
The advertisements in THE
ENTERPRISE are signboards
to many women. By the regu
lar perusal of these ads the cost
of living is reduced in many a
home.

HAS FINE EDITION
A copy of the "Greater Anacortes
Edition" of the Anacortes Citizen has
reached the office of The Enterprise,
and is one of the most representative
special editions seen from the Puget
Sound country in some time. The pa
per is published by M. G. Flower, and
reflects great credit upon his news
paper skill, and also shows that he is
receiving much support from the com
munity in which he is so active.
The edition contains 48 pages of in
teresting matters devoted to a descrip
tion of the resources of Skagit county
and the many enterprises of Anacor-
! tes, and is a revelation of the growth
or tnat community in recent years.
Excellent photographs and pictures
have been used to illustrate the spe
cial number, making it a most com
prehensive paper for "booster" pur
poses. The news section of the paper
shows that there is much activity of
all lines in the county, and that affairs
are in a most happy condition.
ECHO OF YEAR-OLD
IS
Judge Aiken Tuesday handed down
two orders from the, circuit court
bench in the year-old case of Grant B.
Dimick versus M. D. Latourette, treas
urer of Oregon City, and E. D. Shaw.
The case has been hanging fire in the
court since the administration of Mr.
Dimick as mayor, and involves the
payment by the council of salary to
Mr. Shaw for services as special peace
officer after Mayor Dimick had refus
ed to appoint him chief of police. Sub
sequent to the appointment of Mr.
Shaw to special office by the council,
Mr. Dimick brought suit to restrain
the payment of his salary by the city
treasurer.
In answering the suit the defend
ants, through Attorneys Wm. Stone
and J. E. Hedges, replied that Mr.
Shaw was acting under appointment
of the council both as chief of police
and as special peace officer. One or
der issued Tuesday sets forth that the
defendants must elect with defense
they will stand upon, while the other
refers to a detail of their second an
swer. B. N. Hicks is attorney in the
matter for Mr. Dimick.
TROUT
STIR CLACWS
Excellent catches of trout are now
being made in the Clackamas in the
vicinity of Gladstone, and each morn
ing sees ' many fishermen making
their way along the banks of the
stream, seeking favorable appearing
"riffles." The early cars bring out
Portland anglers in large numbers,
and some good hauls have been made
with salmon eggs, though fly fisher
men are also reporting success.
One of the recent catches was a
specimen of Eastern Brook trout
about 10 Inches long. This fish was
somewhat lighter in coloring than
the same species in the Tast, but the
pink spo s were much more notice
able. The capture of one of these
beauties leads to the belief that there
are othhrs to be had, and anglers
are now eagerly seeking the beauties.

A SINGULAR
DUEL
. By GEORGE ATWATER
1 was attending a vaudeville show
one evening in a small town in' Nevada
wherein a part of the performance was
knife throwing. Dan Weatherillthrew
the knives at a board against which
his wife stood, sending a knife about
two inches from her body till they
marked her outline. The performers
were a young couple, and Mrs. Weath
erill was very pretty.
Such performances were not to my
taste, and instead of watching this
one I looked elsewhere. Weatherill
had pinned his wife in with knives al
most completely when what was sup
posed to be an accident occurred. But
it had a definite cause which I, looking
up at a stage box directly opposite the
knife thrower, witnessed. I saw a
man partly concealed by a curtain take
something from bis pocket that at first
I supposed to be a pistol. He turned
It in the direction of Weatherill, but
not taking sight as with a weapon. I
saw a flash of light from one end of
the thing in the fellow's hand, which
I now saw was a cylinder, and almost
instantly there followed a cry from the
audience. Turning my eyes upon
Weatherill 1 saw him give a momentary
glance up at the box where 1 had seen
the light, then run forward to his wife.
I noticed that one knife sticking in the
board near his wife's side was out of
line. She smiled at him to show him
that she was unhurt
I think I was the only person in the
audience who was cognizant of the
cause of the knife "being thrown amiss,
for every eye except mine was at the
time of the flash fixed intently on what
was going on on the stage. To me all
was at once plain. The man in the
box had flashed an electric light in
Weatherill's eyes at the moment he
was throwing a knife with Intent to
cause him to injure his wife. The
curtaiD was lowered, and when It was
raised again the next piece on the pro
gram was produced.
After the show I asked where
Weatherill was stopping and found
him in the lobby of his hotel I told
him that 1 had witnessed the attempt
of the man in the box and asked If he
would give me the reason for the
man's inhuman act. He said that it
was the old story of a man turned
down by a girl and marrying his rival.
At the same time Weatherill apolo
gized for bis wife's ever having been
mixed up with such a man by saying
that it was all the man's doings, he
having forced himself upon the woman.
1 asked Weatherill If I could e of
service to him as a witness, and after
considerable thought he said that very
likely I could.
The next evening curiosity led me
to attend the show again. I wondered
if the Wentherills would have the
hardihood to repeat their perform
ance and if the man who had flashed
the light would be there. Both of
these occurred, though the light flash
er this time occupied a box facing the
wife instead of the busband. I did
not see him till the knife throwing
commenced, and then he drew aside
the curtains only sufficiently to show
his face.
Weatherill had about half pinned in
his wife and was about to throw the
next knife when suddenly be turned
and sent the knife at the box where
bis enemy sat.. Of course there was a
commotion in the audience.
Thought will sometimes act with
lightning rapidity. It was so at this
time for me. I saw that Weatherill
would be tried for murder and could
only get frep by producing evidence
that his enemy had tried to destroy
his aim the night before with a view
to cause him to kill his wife. I sprang
to the box and. pushing ray way
through others to the injured man,
searched hirn and found in his pocket
an electric lamp. The audience and I
had witnessed a duel, fought tn two
successive evenings.
As soon as a policeman came in I
gave bim the lamp, and I noted the
names and addresses of those who had
seen me remove it from the wounded
mun's pocket. He was carried to his
hotel, but died on the way.
Weatherill, leaving the theater, walk
ed to a police station and gave himself
up He was taken to jail, and I went
to see him to inform him that I had
taken an electric lamp from his ene
my's pocket and had the names of sev
eral who had seen me do so. He grasp
ed my hand with a fervent pressure,
realizing the favor I had done him, for
my having seen the flash the night
before which caused his knife to go
amiss and the fact that his enemy had
the lamp ready for use when he was
killed would be sufficient evidence for
an acquittal by any unbiased court.
The man who had been killed was a
leader of a rough element who threat
ened to take Weatherill out and lynch
him. but the sheriff prepared for them,
and. feeling sure of a conviction of the
prisoner, they finally concluded to let
the law take its course. But they did
not know of the testimony I was to
give. Indeed, if I had not happened to
be looking away from the stage and in
a certain direction on the evening the
lamp was flashed I fear nothing could
have saved Weatherill. As it was, my
story was corroborated by the finding
of the lamp in the pocket of the man
who was killed
Weatherill snd his wife could not do
enough to show their gratitude for my
action in the matter, and we became
warm friends But there was no more
knife throwing, for I took Weatherill
into my employ.

T;;' :iiv not I he first who have had
;;ilj a l.elief. lint they it re among the j
tirss in rurry on their investigations in j
a scientific way. -
I did nl start out to talk about the !
immortality of the soul, however, but!
about the strength of gentleness and !
the weakness of violence.
The Dutch scientists believe that
they have got into conimuuicatiou
with the souls of a number of depart
ed Russian nihilists and of others vfio
revolted- against tyranny by using j
bloody measures against the tyrants. ,
Here is one of the messages the sci- i
entists claim to have received from !
the beyond: J
"We have changed our thoughts
about revolutionary methods in this j
sphere. " We know that good cannot i
be done by killing the czar or anybody. !
We believe as strongly as ever in the '
right of the people to rule themselves, j
but we know, the goal to be attained '
can only be reached by the ways of I
love, gentleness and reason." j
Now, that is good doctrine, whether
It came from the souls of departed an-!
archists from beyond the veil or from
the brains of Dutch scientists yet in j
the flesh. j
In fact, the best part of all revolu-t
tions has been attained by peaceful '
means. It was only the counter revo
lutions that were bloody.
Truth wins through gentleness.
The spreading of the light does not
entail destruction or slaughter.
John the Baptist believed in attain-1
ing the kingdom of heaven by vio-!
lence. but the Prince of Peace coun-:
seled the winning of it by love. - j
John was the last and greatest of
the prophets of the old order, but the ,
Nazatfine was" the first and greatest of
the new. 1
The Great Teacher counseled nonre-
sistance and the returning of good for
evil.
Throughout the subsequent centu-'
ries the world has still followed John
the Baptist in spirit, but now at last
may we not begin to hope that it Is
turning to the Nazarene? j
We have depended on force and vio
lence for the most part but now we
know there Is a better way.
We are learning the strength of be
ing gentle. ;
The Superiority of Electric Toast
to the charred, cr brittle, or soggy kind made in the
tedious old-fashioned way, is relatively the same as the
superiority cf grilled steak to fried steak.
For one-tenth of a cent a slice the General
Electric Radiant Toaster makes Perfect Toast faster
than you can cat it. It is Perfect Toast because the
radiant heat forces the necessary chemical change
in the bread. This insures delicious golden Toast that
fairly melts in your mouth. '
You can operate the Genera) Electric Radiant Toaster on the
finest damask table cloth. Its neat porcelain base and cheerful
glowing coils add grace and iharm to any table.

kVER thirty thousand Overlands have been delivered during the last five months. This
is more cars than all the automobile factories in Germany turn out in a whole year.
This is an increase of 300 per cent, over the same period last vear. And last vear we
led every thousand dollar automobile producer in America. Our 1913 sales are more than
double those of any other manufacturer producing a similar car.
In such states as Minnesota, one of the largest automobile consuming States in the
Union, the Overland 'has shown a larger increase this year than any cttker motor car manu
factured bar none..
The Overland outsells because it outclasses,
