every typewriter buyer
should know:

—proved and established by any
number of comparative tests.
2. The Column Selector is a
Remimrton feature exclusively.

Oh, ye% other nr.v. hir.es have devices which look like it, with the jive

this Remington feature, to <•.:!1 them “column selector** keys. But there
is no other device on any other typewriter which can do what the Reming

J he Kemir.gton t omrr.n Selector
is the only feature on any type

It is the only feature which pro

It is the only feature which pro

And th; :c are the features which

THE .NIGGER AT THE
EMPRESS THURSDAY
The Empress Circuit presents Ed
ward Sheldon’s drama, “The Nigger”
fan adoption from The New Governor,
ins shown at, the New York Hippo
drome to 140,000 people in one week.
This feaure has 5,000 people in action
and cost 100,000 dollars to produce.
?>00 scenes taken in New York, Wash
ington, D. C. and Augusta Ga., in
five acts.
In this play Edward Sheldon,
' America’s most significant young dra
jmatist handles unflinchingly and
|with unerring power, a modern prob
lem that must he faced fairly and
i squarely by the people of the United
States.
The topic which forms the motif
of this great drama is one which leg
islators and serious thinkers have
1 grappled with unsuccessfully since
• he days of slavery. Mr. Sheldon is
jiht» first playwright, however, who
jhas had the courage to tackle the sub
ject dramatically.
In the William Fox production,
William Farnum America’s most pop
ular young actor gives a sublime
performance of the self-sacrificing
hero. Philip Morrow. Under the mas
terful directorship of Edgar Lewis,
the enthralling drama works out to
the proportions of a mighty epic of
Modern American Life dealing as It
does with the gravest social moral
and political conditions.
Philip Morrow, a wealthy young
planter, and owner of Morrow’s Rest,
lias grown to manhood in the belief
that the blood in his veins is the most
aristocratic in the South. He is happy
in the love of Georgiana Byrd, the
hello of his native state. Rich, young
and a power politically, his cup of
happiness seems to he filled to over
flowing.
“Cliff” Noyes, a political boss and
distiller of whiskey.of the fiery brand
manufactured for negro consumption,
persuades Morrow to run for Govern
or. During the campaign one of Phil
ip's negroes is lynched, in spite of
Morrow’s efforts to save him for the
law. The incident make a deep im
pression on Morrow’s mind, ar.d upon
his election to the Governorship he
decides to sign a prohibition bill
which would mean the ruin of Noyes’
business.
Threatened with extinction .novcs
visits Morrow and springs the trap.
In rummaging in an attic he has
found papers proving that Morrow,
the aristocrat, the blue-blooded land
owner and Governor of the state has
a touch of negro blood In his viens.
Morrow faces the blow manfully.
He confesses the taint in his blood
to Georgiana and then determines to
do the right boldly as he sees it.
With a stroke of his pen Morrow,
crushed, hut not broken by the fear
ful revelation of his ancestry makes
the prohibition bill a law, and to
make his heroic self sacrifice com
plete, resigns his office to devote the
remainder of his life to the uplifting
of the Negro Race.
Ths feature will he shown Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday. "Worm
wood,” by Marie Corelli, will be the
next feature.

Tree Berk Clue Brush.
An excellent glue brush for the cabt
n-etnmkcr or carpenter can be made
from a piece of elm tree bark, which
may usually be found in'the yard of
a furniture factory, wagon shop or
any hardwood lull)be/ yard. With a
sharp knife whittle away the brittle
outer bark down to the white liber
or Inner side of the bark of which the
brush is to be made. Cut a piece of
this to the length and width required
for the brush. Soak one end of this
piece in hot water for a few minutes.
Lay the water soaked end on a hard
substance, such as a piece of Iron or
hard wood, and beat It out with a
hammer, dipping it In the water oc
casionally to keep it thoroughly wet
The beating will cause the tough tillers
of the bark to separate at the end.
these forming an excellent and inex
pensive brush which never sheds hairs
and lasts longer than the cheap brush
commonly sold at the stores.—Popular
Science.
How It Looked to Him.
“Ah, do tell me something about the
play last night. They say that climax
at the close of the third act was sim
ply grand.” she said.
“Yes. I am inclined to think it was
very good." he replied without any
marked degree of enthusiasm.
"Can't you describe it to meV" she
continued, beaming radiantly.
"Why." explained lie. "the heroine
came stealthily on the stage and knelt,
dagger In hand, behind a clump of blue
ribbons. The hero emerged from a
large bunch of lilacs, and as soon as
she perceived him she fell upon, stab
bed him twice and sank, half con
scious. into a very handsome aigret.
This may sound a trifle queer, but the
j lady in front of me came in late for
i the performance and became so in
! tensely interested that she forgot to re
j move her hat. and that’s how it looked
to me." — Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tele

Folk Songs of Servia.
Tlie folk songs of Servia are less
known outside the borders of that
country than the songs of any other
nation, hut some day a great musician
is expected to arise and make the
Servian music known throughout the
world, just 11s the composers of Aus
tria, Vienna and Itussia have made
their folk songs known.
It is in these folk songs that the
Servians express chiefly their devotion
to their country and their intense pa
triotism. There are. of course, love
songs, death songs and harvest songs,
hut it is in these wild patriotic out
hursts that the Servian spirit is best
shown.
For the Servian is intensely patriotic.
As a nation it is home loving. Tlie
principal industry is agriculture, and
the natives, on account of the mum:
tuitions regions, have much of the spir
it of tlie Swiss patriots.—Exchange.
Sumptuary Laws of Cape Town.
Cape Town onto lived under so se
vere .i code of sumptuary laws that
anything like display was restricted
to the governor and ids immediate
circle. Thus runs article (i of the
Dutch laws against luxury and ostcn
taI ion: "No one less in rank than a
junior merchant and those among the
citizens of equal rank and file wives
and daughters only of those who are
or have been members of any council
shall venture to use umbrellas.” in
practice this restricted the jiossession
and use or umbrellas to about fifty
persons iu Cape Town.
Some Improvement.
“Mrs. Dubwaite doesn't seem to mind
how much Mr. Dubwaite operates the
phonograph.”
"Iu the language of a well known
advertiser, ‘There's a reason.' "
“Yes?”
“As a choice between two evils, Mrs
Dubwaite much prefers the phono
graph. .Mr. Dubwaite’s favorite diver
sion in the evening used to lie picking
out a tune on the piano with ono tin
ger.”—Birmingham Age-Herald.
The Unicorn.
Chinese annals of great antiquity
contain numerous detailed accounts of
the supposedly fabulous unicorn, in
which the descriptions are identical
with those handed down from the ear
liest times in the mythology of oeci
dental countries. From this it is in
ferred that at some time in the remote
past there actually did exist a single
horned equine or cervine animal of
some sort.
