Boy’s Race,’ the latest Traingle offer-
ing with Dorathy Gish as the star, is
a rushing, exciting picture, and its
expectations are more than lived up
to. There’s the “peppy” little jockey,
the sweetheart who hated racing, and
the villian. Then there’s the real
horse race that makes the boy's for-
tune and when you see those horses
tearing neck and neck around the
track you’ll be just as excited as
though you were right on the ground.
“Atta Boy's Last Race” is a Traingle
Play that shoudn’t be missed. Then,

little “Pat” and the other one loves

A LINGERING CRUCIFIXION
“I know that county of Schuy-
kill, Penn. I lived there as a boy.
A youngster there has two chanc-
es to work-down in the ground
where it is almost criminal to
send a child, or in the breakers
where I worked as a boy. It is
not living toswork in those break-
ers: it is a slow lingering crucifi-
xion, Talk of the mothers! Good
God! Hasn't the State of Penn-
sylvania heart enough to provide
for these mothers without depriv-
ing the children of their chance
in the world?”
This is REPRESENTATIVE LEWI3
of Maryland, Chairman of the Labor
Committee, in a speech in the house
of Representatives. Watch for date
for this big Fox attraction, William

nunciation ‘that is woven into a theme
of Burning Public Interest. A stirring

BLACK FRIDAYS.
First of These Financial Terrors Came
In London In 1745,
Several of the great financial panics
of the past have commenced on a Fri-
day, and this has given rise to one of
the pet superstitions of the stock ex-
changes and bourses of the world—
that the sixth day of the week is
fraught with ill omen‘ for those en-
guged in financial operations.
The original “Black Friday” occurred
Dec. 8, 1745, in London.’ ‘On that date
pretender,” Ronnie Prince Charlie, had
preached Derby with his forces. Lon-
was ‘visiting ‘her sister, Mrs. Albert
Wahl and other friend in Woodlawn,

Gossip.
Of all the evils that one can possess
‘Tis gossip that murders the most;
It feasts on its victim and drinks of
blood
Then gloats o’er the sorrow it caused.
The innocent suffer: and foul is the
crime,
For truth hath small part in the vice,
And thoughtlessly, heartlessly slander
goes on
While well meaning people indulge,
But oh, for the anguish and ruin of ;
life
The poor helpless victims must bear,
And what is the gain to the vender
of tales
But miserly meaness of soul.
"Tis gossip attacks in a cowardly way
The one without chance for defense,
And when he is absent, is helpless or
down
The vender of gossip prevails.
Ah Gossip is one of the dangerous:
tools
That Satan holds out to each one,
For nothing can wreak such havoc
as this
And nothing cen torture so much.
So strange is. the fact that so many
believe
The evil reports that they hear
And never they question for proof of
the charge
But thoughtlessly tell it again,

A Statue That Never Was Built.
Mount Athos, in Turkey, was the spot
contemplated by a sculptor for the most
imposing monument that man had ever
bad. The sculptor Dinocrates offered
to cut the huge mountain mass into
the form of a statue of Alexander
which should hold a city in the left
hand and in the right a basin to re-
ceive all the waters that flowed from
the mountain.
Alexander was much taken by the
