GOOD BILL AT GEM | NEW YEAR'S NIGHT. ' Will tila “Awakening of! | | John Bond and Lady Godiva,” : a Saxon Legend | In carrying on the good work of the Red Cross society, a reel has ‘been produced entitled “The Awak- j ) ening of John Bond.” This reel deals / with tuberculosis, its prevention and | "| cure, and while Manager Comer could | not secure it in time to aid in the | |sale of Red Cross stamps, still he | felt that its lesson should be impress-| jed on the people as a reminder for | the coming holiday season. This reel and “Lady Godiva,” a vitagraph | | production with Julia Swayne in the | leading role, will be the headliner: for Monday and Tuesday evenings. One of the best pictures secured | for some time is “Lady Godiva,” a | synopsis of the story being given j below. This is an old Saxon legend ; of the eleventh century and is inter- | esting from beginning to end. It fol- | lows: | Earl Leofric, of Coventry, England, Places a grievous tax upon bis towns-| people, who have already been so heavily levied upon that they are on the verge of starvation, Lady Godiva, the Karl’s wife, pleads with him to revoke the tax and relieve the suf- ferings of the people. He answers ; in a spirit, hal€ in jest and whole | in earnest, thinking that she will not | agree to such a proposition, that if | she will ride naked through the town, he will repeal the tax. Her nent | |is wrung with the sufferings of her | people, and she is neither contented | in mind nor easy in spirit until she | replies she will pay the price of their cost what it may. She sends heralds forth through | the town, saying that she will free | the people from their bonds according] to the edict of her husband, by rid- | ing unclothed through the town. Na- | dant growth of hair which hangs far mantle. But, notwithstanding,, a | midday, on the day set for the pay- ment of her debt of devotion, that | all people shall stay within closed | doors and no eye shall look upon her.| Her task done, the debt paid, she | returns to her home, and only one | curious peceon. d'sobeys the injunc- tion that “no eye shall look upon | her.” That person was ever after- | wards called “Peeping Tom,” and in punishment for his disobedience, he is struck blind, and Lady Godiva is worshipped as a saint unto this day in the minds of the grateful in- , habitants of Coventry. MAY HAVE GHANGE ON GREAT NORTHERN Since the change in time went in- | to effect on the D. M. & N. from | Coleraine to Duluth, thus enabling | the travelers from here to take the to Bovey and travel over the Mis-_ | sabe the balance of the distance into Duluth, there have been persistent rumors that the Great Northern would change time the first of the year and run the morning passenger | an hour earlier. It is now stated, however, that about January 10 a complete change of schedule will go into effect. The ‘passenger known as the “Merry Widow,” which leaves here at 6:40 o'clock, a. m., making the trip to Vir- | soa lay, notice is posted that at the hour of | j and who will pay all outstanding bills.|the Shamrock saloon building.
