PRETTY SONS WITH"
ODD LOVE JTIRY
A Girl's Heart and a Love Letter
Hidden 'Twlxt the Lines
One of the prettiest popular songs
written in « long time is the one ju»t
out, called "My Little Girl." There is
scarcely any meaning to the title, but
the music is remarkably catchy. The
song tells the story of a country lad
who writes a letter to his sweetheart
1 in the city, as follows:
I write these lines to tell you I'm sorry
1 left home.
Because I'm all alone;
Why did you make me roam?
Some one put the Jinx on me. I'm up
against It strong;
I'm out of work, ami so I wrote a sons;
The first verse, dear, Is very sweet, be
cause It speaks of you;
I'm sending you the chorus; read It
through.
And here follows the ehorus which
■ has a very catchy tunc:
MY LITTLE GIRL
My lit-tie girl7T. you know I love you,..
r
And I long for you each day,.. My Ut- tie girl,..
spfr»fr-g"-p jj
.. I'm dreaming of you. .Tho' you're many miles a •
way.. I seethe lane, .down in the wild-wood
Where you promised to be true,.. My lit-tle girl,
.. 1 kn<K» you're I'm coming back to you.
Oopjrlfkt 1916 BrMtlvsy Niiii Corp.
A pleasing feature of the song is
that there is not a high note in the
entire work, although containing some
delightful harmonies which in their
simplicity form a pretty effect.
The few sample copies of the song
which reached some of the ten-cent
stores yesterday were eagerly seized by
the fair sex.
Bank, of Greencastle, was injured near
his home in the country by an auto
mobile. Captain Boyd was getting his
mail front the rural carrier and stepped
in the path of an approaching auto-
I mobile he did not see.

TO DIE FOR KILLING WIFE
| Former Socialist Candidate for Mayor
Sentenced on Election Anniversary
I Baltimore, Md., May s.—As unmoved
as if he were the ceptral figure in a
stage drama, Benjamin E. Davis, four

Circuit Court for Baltimore county, to

Commission Must Be Appointed In a

Have the Authority Prescribed in
the Bill As Originally Introduced
The Alexander bill making it man
datory for City i. ommissioncrs of third
class cities to appoint a planning com
mission, was passed in the House last
night. The bill differs widely from
the original draft and the planning
commission is practically robbed of its
proposed powers, one of which was the
power of veto on city ordinances af
fecting their work. The planning com
mission can levy a tax of one-twen
tieth of a mill, Tlu' commission is
created as an additional executive de
triment of the city.
The Niasley bill regulating mausol

169. Mr. (Spangler, of York, spoke
against the bill, saying it was proposed
by marble manufacturers. Mr. Hah
good, of Mi'Xean, and Mr. Nissley, of
Dauphin, spoke for the bill. Efforts to
reconsider the vote after the bill was
defeated, wore not successful.
The House approved the (bill, spon
sored by Representative Graham, to
permit convicts in the Eastern ant]
Western penitentiaries to sell products
of their own manufacture to State and
county institutions. The bill, which was
backed by the Prison Reform Associa
tion, removes the restrictions which
keep the igreat majority of prisoner*
ill idleness. The measure provides foi
a fixed scale of wages. 75 per cent, tc
be [raid over to the dependents of the
prisoners, and for the payment of the
remainder to the convicts upon theii
release. The House also passed an ac
companying bill presented by Graham
providing for a system of employment
in the State correctional institutions.
Bills Passed By House
Other bills passed finally included:
Providing for the appointment of a
commission to determine what parts of
the Constitution need changes and re
vision.
Sixteen appropriations including
that for the Panama-Pacific Imposi

Huntingdon Reformatory, College

This is one of Governor Brumbaugh *s

for 17 years and calomel's old-time

Olive Tablets while treating patient?

Dr. Kd wards' Olive Tablets do not

No griping is the "keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets.
They cause the bowels and liver to act
normally. They never force them to un
natural action.

tired feeling—sick headache—torpid
liver and are constipated, you'll find

Photoplay To-day
"A Delayed Reformation," a sp»
cial two-reel l«ubin feature, is a drama
that must be seen to be appreciated.
In it are hate, love, pity, repentence,
gladness and many other conditions
that all go together in making this un
usually good photoplay a success. It
show 9 Ned, the crook, and Bess, his
sister, who saves him from prison, even
though it costs her her hom 0 and hus
band. How Neil foils a moneylender,
from whom Bess had borrowed moneVj
in his forced personal attentions to Bess
and finally turns over a new leaf and
causes a reconciliation between Bess
and her husband in splendidly acted.
"To Have and to Hold," a one-reel
Biograph, shows where a lonely man
conquers the hunger of his heart for the
sake of the woman he loves. A Western
comedy drama, "Feminine Wit" is full
of enjoyable scenes. "Sunny Jim and
the Valentine," featuring the Vita
graph little players, is a clever produc
tion. The regular Hearst Selig News
