about Pendleton's pres

"The BarKulii" In one itf the fluent
PlcturoH In which Mr. Hurt has ever
appeared. It Is a HtrmiK drama of
the old Went, with the famous star
ill) one of -thews- mien, which have so
endeured him to the hearts of Amer
ican audiences. Full of Bwlft action
It drawn steadily to a tremendous
climax, which fairly hreathes the at
mosphere of the ruKKed Western
country.

by Pony All In the lhiy'K Work
', for JXtrtnir Willlum Hart. '
Any picture In which . William 8.
Hart appears Is sure to abound In
thrilling aceneir, but one of the mott
hair-raising - and . dangerous . stunts
which he has ever attempted, will be
seen at the Ad cads today, when he
appears in "The Bargain."
In the character of "Two-Gun"
Stokes, a notorious outlaw, Mr. Hart,
with a sheriff's posse at his heels,
rides out upon a high cliff. Every
avenue of escape cut off, he has no
choice but to make the leap from the
top of the precipice Into the gorge
below. Without hesitation, and while
the posse Is gusplng In horror, he
drives his spurs into his horse and
takes the plunKC Together they go
crashing down into the ennon. It Is
one of the finest pieces of work in thft
field of photography, and Thomas
. Ince, who directed the picture, Is
Justly proud of his achievement-.
The inking of this sc?ne very
'nearly ended In a tragedy, for Mr.
, Hart wns unable to throw- himself en
tirely clear of his horse in making the
, fall, and consequently wns pinned
beneath It, severely injuring' his leg.
As the horse began to -roll, he was in
danger of being crushed to death, but
fortunately some of the company ar
rived at his assistance before It was
too lato.

HKI.KXA, Mont.. April 4. declar
ing that by itK warfare upon Innocent
women nnd children, the fierman na

ed a civilized nation, the board of cdu-
j cation this morning abolished the
study of Oermun in the Helena public
i schools. 0,'be text books are to be

The following stirrliiK appeal to
"The IToIKb at Home" is from The
Splker; a puper published by thd boy
with the American army in France.
A copy was sent by Clint Huzau with
la request for publication.
I Runiuel J. KIrkwood, sccreary of
the lnterloil in the cabinets of resi
dents (JurfleM and Arthur, while
war governor of Iowa, in the year
1861, made a speech from the steps
of the old cupitol btiildfng in which
hrt said In substance;
"These are troublesome times and
there are traitors and spies in our
midst who would destroy this union.
If any man in this state is a traitor
to the cause or insults the flag, shoot
him in the act, or in the uttering of
the word. 1 am the governor. Your
pardon awaits you-"
What the United States needs at the
present time Is forty-eight war gov
ernors like .Samuel J. Kirkwood.
As a people we have too much ego
in our CoPinoH. We do a big thing
in a big way but frequently neglect
the details. Just now we are on the
biggest job the world has ever known
and it fs up to us to get down to the
materialistic and limitation.
We are in France and those who
are to follow' have no fear for the
months of toil and battle that lie be
fore us but we do want to know
that the spies and traitors who are
seeking to block our avnues of sup
plies and munitions shall; not suc
ceed. Allen enemies should be watched
nnd accounted for. For three nights

and from the day the first word

The United Htate gave the worold
an Kdison a wizard with a thousand

to buy but stole outright), the Wright

The jingle of the dollar help the
hurt that honor feel. "The voice of

A mother in .Belgium saw a 'Ger
man approaching her home. ,he hid
her children. The German demanded
supper, lodging and brekfast- His
wants were satisfied. In the morn
ing, to the surprise of the good wo
man, he paid her. Hhe said, "How
strange I thought ail Germans were
bad. I am pleased to knpw that you
are a gentlemen. T)o you know that
vhen I ffrst saw you I hid my chil

have children. I-et me see yours"
Whereuon the fond mother called
up the treasures of her heart from
the cellar to see them both shot dead
at. her feet-
In the hiatus of her grief she told
the story to her neighbors but now
she tells ft to the bars of her window
in a madhouse.
