Hem Tlicatre Today.
“His Father's Son” is a big play,
written by two big men. In it are two
Mg stars. The play is dramatic; it at
so is filled with humor. It is a rat
Ming good story, well put together,
well brought out oil the screen.
The situation presented is catchy
and unusual. It grabs your interest
right from the start. A-millionaire’!,
son is “burning up" iris father's
money. The old gentleman closes tlie
treasury. He tells tlie youngster to
get to work anil bets him $(1,000 he
can't hold a $oo a month job for
thirty days.
Then Young Mr. Man starts out in
his racing car to seek the job. He gets
one as a butler. He fails in love with
a pretty girl. He prevents a bogus
English lord from committing u big
jewel robbery. And lie wins the $6,000
and tlie girl.,
It takes a star of Mr. Barrymore’s
rare ability to fittingly combine hu
mor and pathos on the screen, to play
the part of “son” in “His Father's
Son.” He has entered with alt Ills
inimitable genius into (lie powerful
situation presented by those sterling
playwrights, Clmnning Pollock and
Retinoid Wolf, and the result is
masterpiece of tlie screen. Captivating
Irene I low Icy also.,Is seen at her best.
At tlie Gem today.

Jtiiiinrat Want Ad Brings Woman

.
This Is tlie story of a Democrat
Want Ad and its effectiveness in re-
covering a lost purse:
Yesetrjlay Mrs. .T. It. Bobinett of
Wliltesboro advertised in tlie Demo-
crat’s want column for an alligator
purse which she had lost, containing
about $40 in money. A reward was of-
fered for its return to the Democrat
office. In less than two hours after
tlie pniier was out or liefore 6 o’clock,
J. A. Echols of this city, connected
Kith the Sherman Bottling Works,
brought the purse into tlie Democrat
office, stating that he had seen in the
impel- where it had Iieen lost by Mrs.
Uobinett. The latter was informed by
telephone of tlie recovery of iier purse
anil this morning it was returned to
iier and a reward given tlie finder.

Indo-European or Aryan Race. |
The Indo-European or Aryan race la;
the name given to that division of man-
kind covering the most of Europe, Ar-
menia, Persia, Afghanistan und north-
ern Hindustan. The evidence on which
a family relation hns been established
Is tljLUt of language. In the different
languages spoken by the nations which
comprise tbts race, there are similari-
ties which, according to expert philolo-
gists, can be accounted for only by suin’
posing that the nations who originally
H|>oke them had a common origin. The
“mother nation” here referred to is
supiiosed to have existed In Central
Asiu, long before Europe wns inhabit-
ed. From this center, in obedience to
a law of movement which has con-
tinued tp act through all history, suc-
cessive migrations took, place towurd
the northwest Into Europe. Part of the
population settled in India nnd Perslu,
nnd for these reasons the race Is
named the Indo-European. The Hin-
doos belong to the native Aryan race
of Indiu.

Clarence B. Ousley, director of tlie
extension work of tlie A. & M. College,
and one of tlie liosf informed men on
agricultural subjects in the United
States, will sjieiik in Sherman tomor-
row nfteriioon at 2 :.1<) o'clock lit tile
court house.
Tile sulipi'ct of Mr. < hlsley’s talk
lias not been announced, although
(’, Morris, county farm demonstration
agent, stated this morning if would be
in icference to tlie food situation, ami
especially along tlie line of food con-
servation. For tills reason it is de-
sired that as many of tlni ladies of
the county attend as is possible, and
a full attendance of tlie members of the
Grayson County Farmers’ Institute,
the Girls’ Canning Clubs, the Boys’
Agricultural Clubs, tlie Livestock As-
sociation and others is urged.
Mr. Ousley is one of tin* best au-
thorities in the country in agricultural
and livestock lines and his ideas are
practical and.conservative. He Is well
known to tlie farmers of this county.
Mr. Ousley comes to Sherman
through the efforts of E. Gentry, dis-
trict agricultural agent.
Fielding on Suffrage.
One of the earliest references to tlie
enfranchisement of women is to be
found In Henry Fielding's newspaper,
tlie Champion, in 1740. In an Imagin-
ary report of a suffrage meeting, tlie
writer, who may have been Fielding
himself, sets out the arguments of an
eloquent Lady Belinda, who, after be-
wailing the fact that “a cobbler is rep-
resented In the legislature, but a
duchess is not,” moves a resolution in
favor of a parliament of women to
make the laws affecting the sex und to
guard its rights nnd privileges against
“the He-Part of Creation.” Her meet-
ing adjourned without carrying the
resolution* because “ull tlie ladies
spake together.”—London Chronicle.
BEAIM & YOUNG
GREAT LAKES ARE HAZARDOUS
Navigation Is Fraught With Danger,
in Spite of Great Surveys Made
by Government.
Summer after summer the fleet of
the lake survey sails the broad expanse
of the five lakes nnd tlie score of hays
and inlets searching for danger spots
.that may claim their heavy toll of hu-
man life and vessel tonnage. '
Since 1841 the United States govern
ment has been silently carrying on this
work, a Herculean fight against the
jagged reef anil the unseen shoal that
menare navigation. Sounding lines
have been plunged into black depths
of 05,000 square miles of water; and
still today there are areas that have
not been charted in which passing
barks may founder, says the New York
Sun.
Three of the five steamers that com-
pose the flotilla curry crews of 22 men.
The two other boats are smaller, hav-
ing but ten of twelve men for a crew.
Probably no frequented waterways
In the world are so hazardous as the
Great Lakes. At no time is a steamer
on them more than a comparatively
few heurs from shore and periodically
fierce storms arise, fully as violent as
those experienced on the ocean, which
play with the steel ships, battering
them helplessly about, threatening to
engulf or sweep them ashore.
Over $5,000,000 has been spent by
the government since 1841 for the pros-
ecution of the work of charting tlie
lakes. Locked in heavy timbered
boxes, protected from fire in immense
vaults In the old post office building,
Detroit, are over 1,300 field charts, dat-
ing back to 1818, when n survey of
Duke Erie was made by officers of the
British navy. With few exceptions the
maps are the result of the scientific
researches of United States officers
and purveyors.
Mystical Slav Temperament.
A deep religious instinct seems to be
Inborn with the Slav peasants, both
Russian and Pole, according to the
Christian Herald. Tlie only difference
is the form of his religion, far prac-
tically all the Poles are adherents of
the Church of Rome'. With both races
religion and patriotism are closely in-
tertwined. The Slav temperament
seems to be particularly susceptible tf>
religious impressions and devotion to
the church reaches a degree for which
it is difficult to find analogies In any
other part of modern Europe. In the
dally life of the Polish peasant tlie
name Christ and the Virgin will be
heard repeatedly. He would not think
of living in a house that had not been
blessed by a priest. A manufacturer
would find It difficult to keep his hands,
If the factory had not been blessed- A
Real Thrift.
A prominent Omaha citizen wns
walking down the street recently in
an uncertain way, holding a handker-
chief to his face. A friend accosted
him and demanded to know what tlie
trouble might be.
“I’ve something in my eye!” ex-
claimed the sufferer. “And it hurts
like the dickens!”
“Why don’t you step Into tills drug
store and have the clerk take it out?”
snorted his friend.
“I’m afraid to,” sighed the man.with
the red eye. “It might he a piece of
coal 1”
This is thrift such as America never
knew before.
More or Less Empty.
She—I don’t see why Mrs. Jllghtone
invited that vulgar Mr. Biggies to din-
ner, unless it was to fill up nn empty
place. ,
He—Why, that’s what we were all
Invited for, isn’t it?
THE GIRL ON THE FARM.
Why Not Givs Hsr Soma Attsntion ■«
Well as the Boy?
In recent years the problem of keep-
ing the boy ou the farm has been
thought serious enough to arouse con-
siderable discussion.
The farmer has been told that he
ought to provide the most modern agri-
cultural machinery In order to obviate
the hard labor of farming and keep
the boys interested; that he should
send his boys to a good school of sci-
entific agriculture; that he should set
aside a certain portion of the farm for
the boy and permit him to keep the
profit from his operation, and lie lias
been fold mauy other things, in all of
which the Importance of the boy to the
farm was emphasized nnd plans sug-
gested to make bis lot a little easier
and more promising. Tbo county agent
has Interested himself in the problem
by organizing boys’ com growing and
other agricultural contests.
But how abput keeping the girl on
the farm? The girl does not ordinarily
flo the heavy field work, but her serv-
ices in homekeeping, cooking and mend-
ing as well ns in buttermaking, milk-
ing, caring for garden and chickens,
which tasks usually fall to her lot, are
surely valuable enough to warrant the
greatest consideration. And yet dis-
cussion of the problem of keeping the
girl on the farm U lnfrequent-Indlan.

How They Live In Amiterdam.
Housing conditions in Amsterdam
among the wealthy are peculiar. Very
frequently men of large business af
fairs have their residences in their of-
fices und Warehouse buildings. The up-
per fl«o‘ s are elegantly-Htied up. while
the lower doors are occupied us office
quarters, cr the lower floors are used
for residential purposes and the upper
floors are warehouses. These, homes
front on the canals. Household fur-
nishings, merchandise, etc., are hoist-
ed to the upper stories by block aud
tackle. An ingenious mirror arrauge-
ment in the windows furnishes persons
who lire above the first floor a view of
the street and of any one ringing , the
doorbell.
