LESSON LEARNED REX TUESDAY | TRAGEDY IN BUCHANAN'S LIFE Recent Revelations Show Wh; ‘States- man Selected No Mate to Share His. Greatness, * Mflt James Buchanan di whi ; theater next Tuésday, und: pices of the Red Cross, is not'a: picture in the sense -that battle _scenes are not-shown, mor any grue- some spectacles. It is the picturi- zatfon of a famous American his- toric incident. : “Phe Man Without & Country” is foundeéd upon Edward Everett Hale's story, . “The Man Without a Coun- try,” written in 1863 and condteded, as the author said, to be “a contri- butjon, however humble, toward the formation of a just and true nation- “al gentiment of a-love to the nation.” The universal :appeal of this classic is shown by the fact that the lesson intended # <the‘story has (been in use in other times, under other cir- cumstances than those which sur- rounded this country in.1863. When, in 1888, Peru found herself - hard pressed by Chile in the war between these nations the’patriots of Pern translated this story into the ‘Span- ish language.. At the outset.of the war with Spain the publishers of the “Qutlook” reprinted it, in their wish that the nation should .not: shink from the duties of a nation. The Red .Cross chapter will bring ~the timely feature to the Rex theater on Thursday. It was made by the Thanhouser Film Corporation. Flor- ence La Badie and H. E. Herbert head the all-star cast, which includes George Marlo, Ernest Howard, Carey L. Hastings, Charles Dungan and J. H. Gilmour.

Coleman, Wi Itke himself, resided in Lancaster, Pa,/ said General Sherwood. “They were soon betrothed and were counted the handsomest couple In_ all the country. around. Some time after the engage- | ment had been announced Mr. Buchan- an was obliged to go out of town on a business trip. On his return he stopped in to see a Mrs. Willlam: Jen- kins, who was entertaining a Miss Gracie Hubley, daughter ‘of General Hubley, an officer of the revolutionary ‘War. . i i “A gossiping young woman told Miss Coleman ‘of Mr. Buchanan’s visit and aroused’ her jealousy. -On the spur ‘ot the moment she penned an angry note and released him from his engagement. A short time after this incident a party was arranged to go to Philadelphia to attend an opera. Miss Coleman was included in the invitation, and on. Ar- riving at Philadeiphia, on & plea of in- disposition, remained at the hotel. On thelr return from the opera Miss Colex man was found dead. She had killed Merself.

Idea Which '»Mny Bring-Back Old Days to Some 2 of the Readers. ¢ The car was a long time coming, and a very small, dirty and Joyous girl on one roller skate confided to an in- terested bystander that there were “two white horses coming.” . “Pl1 stamp ’em both,” she added, and proceeded ‘to lick her thumb and jam it into a soiled pink palm. Twice over it had to'be done, with eyes fixed upon the approaching- team. “Why stanip them?” ‘inquired the stranger. " “Why, don't you know? When I stamp a hundred Tll find something. Found a penny last time.” Just then the newspaper boy arrived with -his sack, and' as he took.the money from the wooden beqch. a penny rolled toward the gutter. The unkempt . little “figure swayed on its single skate,..A frown of dlgapproykl tollowed the boy's Industrious sedrch: While thepennles' were in the bag dn the bench, . th jere property and’to be resputed.' But it was plain to anys one with. eyes that a lost penny bet longed . to the finder—in the ~code of the little girl. : 3 i When it was picked up ‘and dropped Into the boy’s pocket, she turned to the sympathetie bystander. “Don’t you hate boys with freckles?” she asked. “Besides, TI'd only stamped ’leven.
