"Why that's only Lon Chancy in a new makeup!" Carl La cm ml e, head of the Uni versal company and a shrewd show man, evidently has sensed before other producers the tendency of the public to patronize the unusual in mo tion picture entertainment. In "Fool ish Wives" Mr. Ivoemrale continental ized the screen before Lubitsch's ad vent. In "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" he introduced a palatable ver sion of the grewsome and weird. Now comes "The Phantom of tho Opera," a hair-raising mystery melodrama that promises definitely to create a new vogue in screen entertainment. It is reported that Mr. Laeminle may present Bran Sinker's great thriller, "Uracula," aud that Arthur Hdmund Cnrcw, who plays the mys terious, intriguing Persian in "The Phantom" and who was vengali in "Trilby," may play the title role.

"Every do is entitled to one bite," was applied here recently by Judge Thompson of the Superior Court in finding for a damage suit defendant whose dog was alleged to have bitten a bnkers hot, No one denied that Max, the dog, had helped himself to a nip out of the baker boy's arm. The statement of the defendant that the nip had becu the first indulged in by Max, likewise was undisputed, so motion for non suit was granted. In delivering tbe finding the court said: "It is an ancient rule of the law that every dog is entitled to one btio. The owner of a dog of known vicious character is charged with respousibil ity for its acts, but bow shall a dog who never has manifested any vice be supposed by its owner to he a dng of vicious character? There obviously must be a first bite, and hard as it may be upon tbe unfortu. nnte victim of this, so to speak, maid en bite, he apparently is left with out recourse. Men Preferred by California Shiners LOS AXGELKS, Feb. 14. W) Women are not ao extravagant as popular belief would paint them, but on the contrary are economical, or at any rate they don't pay out money for shoe shines, says Los Angeles bootblacks. Tbe shiners say that lo men have Lheir shoeB polished to one woman. A woman, they explained, will take home a o-cent battle of polish, hunt up a rag and at the end of the month figure out how much Bhe has snved. Then, if she is married, she is liable to try to break up the age-uld male custom of hiring someone else to clean his shoes. Incompetent Bob Merchants Fought LOS ANGKLKS, Feb. 14.

Drake stood over him, un marked except for a blue eye and a scratched cheek, the result of an at tack at gouging; but Tony stayed there, shaking his head, a thin trickle of blood reddeuing the deck, and Tubbs and Sims grabbed hold of htm and dragged him out on deck to wuhIi him off. -.loo seized Drake by the hand, and dragged him over to the bunk, where he filled hia own preci ous little nose-warmer with rich plug tobacco and handed it to him in proud silence. "Good lad. yer s good lad,' I alius said so," said old Bill Gadgett," light ing a scrap of paper for Drake's pipe. "Boiler watch aht for 'is knife, chum," warned Herbert Oata from his top bunk. "Them Dagos 'ud stick a feller soon as look nt 'im!" Drake laughed. Other quiet sailor men laughed, too. Herbert Oats was believed to have cause for dislike of Tony. He had stolen his girl's ring, or something. But Herbert was not a fighting man, so long as he had a choice. He Vas a good warncr; prophet of evil. "Shut yer 'cad. y' lnpenred crow!" growled Nick Coombs. "Tony's ony kill in shcepa after this. Keep un der cover, me son." But when all was over, and eight bells struck, and the first watch was set for the night, Drake rolled into his hunk and sighed blissfully. Il had fought and won. Tony might not be the hardest man to heat, but he had beaten litm. and done it well. Mptter still, he had done it with ease. He was hardening. In the pink shaded first flush of a fine weather dawn the great clipper awoke to another day's work. All dripping with dew, she was; lovely with mantling light. Drake carried his brass rags aft. .The Doctor and Tony bent over the grindstone for ward, putting razor edgns on two butcher knives. A sheep was to be killed for fresh meat, and Tony was to lend a hand. He sod the Doctor got along very well.

She stood a mo-1 ment inhaling tlie morning's fresh ness, reveling in the dancing glints of the rising sun upon the waters, then glanced aft. She seemed to be hesitnting.
