He denies himself two pleas uresthe pleasure of telling and the pleasure of being sympathized with." "I guess there are precious few such people to be found. And not any of them are men." Motl er laughed. "I can't say I agree to that. But I donow of some wo men. A friend of mine is that sort. I htve been studying her lately. She'll have the mostawful headache or per haps an excruciating backache, but never a word does she say about It." "How do you know, then, she's got It?" skeptically inquired the Woman-From-Across-the-Street. "I recognize the symptoms," said Mother sympathetically. "You will see a tightening of her lips maybe now and then, or a contraction of her forehead. And you'll know she is in pain. If you ask her she says, 'Oh, yes, a little.' But that's all. There's no wail as to how much she is suffering, and how awful it is to have to go on with her work when she feels as she does. Most wo men, you know, consider themselves martyrs if they have to work when they are sick, and feel that the fam ily ought to go right out and order a halo. And i they do not get a lot of sympathy and commiseration, they feel downright injured. But this woman Just sets her teeth and goe on and smiles and works, and if the family are not observant, which they are not, nobody knows there's a thing the mat ter with her. I call that pluck." "I don't see that she gains anything by it," said the Woman-From-Across-the-Street "I think she does," meditated Mother. "For one thing, to rehearse your trou bles only makes you'feel worse. If you keep talking about a headache, and how it throbs, and how miserable you feel, it keeps getting worse and worse. So I really thinks she gets rid of her ailment sooner by not talking about it. Then, think what a blessing it is to those about her not to have her trou bles poured out on them! I was think ing yesterday of the difference between her and Jim and the effect on the household. Over at Jim's everybody was tip-toeing around, and poor Effie was distracted, and Jim wasn't in any way being benefited. At my friend's, everything goes on In the usual cheer ful fashion and she really gets well sooner. It's a kind of pluck it might be well for some of us tn cultivate " "I'll see if I can't inject a little of if into Tom," said the Woman-From Acros-t he-Street, as she rose to go.

Old Reddy Fox was quite pleased that Mr. Fox should say this to him so he looked very . condescendingly at Mr. FOx.and said: "I would help you out if I could. Let me think a min ute." , - Old Reddy stood still for a minute. and then he looked around outside. "Oh! Mr. Fox," he said, putting his head in the window, "here comes the farmer with a gun and the dog, too. and then Old Reddy stepped back on the board. Mr. Fox looked at the window and he gave one bound and leaped for it. His head and paws came in sight and Old Reddy grabbed Mr. Fox by one paw and one ear, and how he pulled and tugged, but he got Mr. Fox' head up and somehow then Mr. Fox managed to get a hold on the window sill and out he came. Old Reddy had tumbled to the ground in the tussle and Mr. Fox Jumped down he didn't stop to walk down the board. Old Reddy Fox picked himself up and Mr. Fox, who wanted terribly to run. could not find it in his heart to desert Old Reddy after he had saved him, so he tried to get him to hurry. "We'll be caught if you don't," he said. The hens and chickens and the ducks and the geese and turkeys, too, were making a terrible racket, for the tus sle Mr. Fox had to, get out awakened them. "Oh! there is time enough." said Old Reddy. "The dog is tied and the farm er can't dress in a' minute: but, of course, we don't want to linger." I thought you said they were com ing," said Mr. Fox, looking around and at the same time looking angrily at Old Reddy Fox, thinking he was tricked again by him. Old Reddy did not answer until they were safe out of the barnyard and down the road a way.' Then he said: 'I did say the dog was coming and the farmer with his gun, Mr. Fox. and I didn't see either of them, but if I hadn't said that you could never have leaped to that high window and I knew it would take a good fright to make you, so I took a chance of giving you a good fright, and I am glad I did. Mr. Fox said he was. too, and he never could thank Old Reddy for sav ing his life, and to show how much he appreciated It he would forgive Old Reddy for taking his supper a few nights before.

"We're hearing about a good many kinds Just now," said the Woman From-Across-the-Street. "considering the war and the heat and the people coming back from camping and bum mer hotels. "Yes, we endure a good many things." I agreed Mother, "But the kind of pluck I referred to, we have right around us in our own homes. I was over at brother Jim's yesterday, and he had a regular grouch on." "Must have been a day for grouch es," sighed the Woman-From-Across-the-Street. "One could scarcely live with Tom." "That was the way with Jim. He was lying on the couch and Effie was rubbing his head. Nothing she did suited him. He didn't know what he wanted. He B,fhed all over. And he had the blues generally. He just poured out a continuous stream of growls and complaints. It was like hearing the rain drip, drip, drip, on a cold Fall day, before the fires are lighted and everythirg is dismal." "Tom's always that way over the lightest ache. To hear his complaints, you'd think St. Peter was getting out his keys to open the gate, or else," she concluded with a twinkle in her eye, "they were making a little extra fire down btlow." "Most of us, when something gets wrong with us physically, like to tell all our aches and pains, but we want a lot of sympathy, too. We really make a claim 6n people for sympathy, and we feel hurt if we do not get it. That's the reason. I say it is downright pluck when at person does not tell his ail- Procedure Adopted by Board Is Declared Injurious to Industry. Proposed Ordinance Specific ally Fixes Authority. The movie men have directed most of their efforts In the camtpr.ign for a new censorship toward showing the business men where they believe the present mode of censoring the people's pictures has hurt the city from a fi nancial standpoint. Ivot only the business men have realized the merits of their contention, the movie men say. but many women active in club circles hae signed their petitions. Lntll the present ordinance was passed, the censoring of Portland's pictures was indirectly In the hands of the city's representative women s clubs. - About six months ago. Mayor Albee placed a construction on the present censorship, ordinance by which view ers were to use their own judgment in following tbe terms of the ordinance, and the decisions of the viewers were to stand as being the decisions of the boa'rd unless the .movie men objected. By this arrangement it was intended to make the viewers a preliminary censor board, with a so-called appeal to the regular censor board of seven members. Mayor's Promise Citrfl. The alleged recensoring of pictures by two or three members of the board Is declared by the film men to be In derogation of the Mayor's promise to them that there should be no inter ference by the board to this prelimin ary work of the viewers. They also contend that Chairman Richards' so- called "57 varieties" of guides to view ers. Issued recently by the ' board, makes independent action of viewers on pictures impossible and that the censoring Is not being carried on under the Mayor's construction of the or dinance. According to the film men the se retary assigns certain viewers to eer tain exchanges and theaters and these viewers are changed to another place when their work on a class of pictures is not acceptable to the board. A result of this condition is Illus trated when the picture, "The Eternal Papho," was viewed by the censors. This picture was at the Mutual ex change to be exhibited and was sub mitted to the viewers usually serving at the Mutual. The film was said to be acceptable after minor eliminations were made. When this fact came To the knowledge Of the board, strenuous objection was made to the lessee of the film because It had not been in spected by the people who usually view this class of pictures. The the ater manager was forced to submit his film to a re-viewing. It was again passed. Procedure Declared Hurtful. It is such procedure as this that the movie men say hurts the industry in Portland. They contend that there should be no discrimination in assign ing strict and liberal-minded viewers and that the decision of one viewer should have as much weight as that of another. The film men say their trouble Is not so much with the viewers as the board that commands them. The ordinance which the City Com mission is asked to pass provides for viewers much in the same manner as the present one. but Jheir authority is specifically defined, doing away with the possibility of ambiguous con struction, the movie men assert. 1 -TSJS SHUT". considerable difficulty.

George Cooper, of the Vltagraph players, has portrayed many parts in his long connection with that com pany, but In "A Night Out" is his first attempt of a "Waldo" type. Cooper on the screen is usually a burglar, but in "A Night Out." the latest Vltagraph comedy, he Is cast as the son of the president of a purity league and has to permit himself to be badgered and humiliated by two other young fel lows. As Cooper is a devotee of the flstie art he found it difficult at times to act the helplessness tuat he did not feel. As Waldo In "A Night Out," Cooper steals the diamond ring, gives it to a cabaret dancer and causes no end .of a mixup. The Helllg Theater's "movie dan sant" is attracting much attention throughout the country and is giving that theater many columns of publicity.

Mr. Fox and Old Reddy Sleet Again. ONE night Mr. Fox went over the hill to the farm, thinking all the time about how Old Reddy Fox had tricked him and hoping he would meet him. Mr. Fox walked cautiously around the barn ' until he came to the hen house, and then he began to smile. "Now that Is nice," said Mr. Fox. "A1 board leading right up to the window of the henhouse. I wonder how the farmer could have been so careless and so accommodating too." There were all the hens and chick ens asleep, and Mr. Fox could see I goose that JUBt suited him, and a turkey aiso. x never naa anything so easy as this," ha said. "All I have to do is jump through the open window and help myself." With all Mr. Fox's cleverness he did not thiniking about getting out, so he Jumped through the window, and land ed very softly on the floor, but when he tried to go to the roost where the sleeping hens and chickens were he was some surprised to find he was on the other side of a wire partition which there was no way to get over or through. Then Mr. Fox began to think, and when he did he looked up at the win dow through which he had jumped and found it was altogether too high for him to reach and there was nothing on . which' he could climb. He was trapped and there was no mistake this time. Mr. Fox began to think of home and Mrs. Fox waiting and he would never come, and he grew very sad. so sad and unhappy that he even forgave Old Reddy Fox for the trick he played, on him a few nights before. Something moved above his head and Mr. Fox jumped and looked up at the window and there looking down on him was Old Reddy Fox with wide-open eyes and mouth. Mr. Fox felt a little bit of Joy at this sight, bo he said to Old Reody with a smile: "Come on in this is a fine place, if you don't want to get out in a hurry: "Yes. I always look before I leap said Old Reddy with a wise shake of his head, "but you young fellows leap before you look, and when you do look it Is usually too late to do you any good.

That is, in the midst of the exciting action which took place In Stephen Denby's room in the Harring ton -home, he smashed an automatic burglar alarm on the wall and the curtain fell. Then the following scene showed, the Harrington"? , Monty and Clara playing cards on the lower floor of the house before the time of the action-, which transpired in Steve's room. The ringing of the alarm In the house brought them . upstairs on the run and the action proceeded from there as a unit, so far as the time was concerned. This is what Is called the "flash back" in motion-picture parlance and Mr. Megrue was declared to have scored a novelty by borrowing this device from the screen. Now "Under Cover" has been adapted for the screen by the Famous Players Film Company with Hazel Dawn and Owen Moore in the roles of Ethel Cartwright and tephen Denby and the "flash-back found in Its natural habitat, once more lending Its aid to the suspense f the story. But on the screen the "flash hack has an even wider range than on the tage and in this case. In addition to howlng the action in Steve's room and the Harrington living-room, it em braces, the activities of Taylor, the customs official who is unwittingly etting the scene for an early fall on his own behalf. Taylor is out in the Harrington garden with his men walt- ne for the signal trom btnei iart- wrieht that she has found the necklace in Steve's room. When Steve acci dentally gives the signal himself, the action in all three places begins simul taneously and the camera Is kept busy covering them all. Youth Holds Sway.

Added to these is a whole troupe of clever children, the little schoolma'am's devoted pupils. Of course there are elders, but they come'in only as a sort of Nemesis to the poor little teacher, whose lqnocent way they strew with thorns. The play.

The Canadian thistle is the one most frequently found next to the "bull" thistle. Its chief charae teristic is its spindling height and clustered blooms about one blossom of larger size.
