This juvenile comedian was baptised “Thomas,” but the Bemis playground he is known as “‘Charlle Chaplin, king of the movies.” He has a dark skiff and a light heart. He s a negro boy. Charlie Chaplin, 24, has a whimsical way of relating his experiences. He told his companions of a visit he made to ithe Hanscom park recreation center. Some of the Hanscom park boys did not take kindly to the Bemis park visitor, so they put him to flight, “When I started to run away T had a a lead of five blocks and when I finished 1 could count fifty blocks of separation between me and dem chillun,” remarked the Bemis park movie celebrity, Then he enacted it out mccording to his ideas of moving picture presentation, making the supervisor and the boys and girls laugh. Charlie 1s acquiring a repertoire of dialects which he is trtying out and the most amusing feature is his pantomime which he gives with the explanation that he is posing for the movies. Fire in Barn Burns Up New Doll and Its Buggy and Clothes Rain Sunday night set fire to the barn on the farm of E, J. Smith, about two miles north of Florence, and burned it to the ground. While the I is small, a few hundred dollars, a great tragedy arose from the fire, and today little Miss Miriam Smith is inconsolable, Friday was her tenth birthday and she celebrated it by recelving as presents a large doll and a real doll carriage for it to ride around the farm in. Smith is building a large new barn on his place and the small old one was being used as a storeroom. Sun- day Miss Miriam concelved the idea that it would be an ideal playhouse for the time in fitting it up. So casy did she fix it that she decided to leave her new doll there all night. During the night the rain leaked through the roof onto the lime stored therein and thus set the barn efire, burning it to the ground with the new doll and buggy. Now she {s exper- fencing the sorrows of this life and re- fuses to be comforted by the though that she s to get a new doll to replace the one burned up.

A commercial organization gave it,and one of the purposes was to encourage and develop trade in Omaha. “I notice they always use cigars made in * New York or Harrisburg, Pa, at these. dinners,” said a man employing twenty- eight men in an Omaha cigar factory. The Omaha cigar maker knew exactly how it was. He had often wondered why he was em- ploying twenty-eight men instead of 280. It must be a matter of brand, rather than of goods. And yet—the money he pays for wages in Omaha is exactly the same brand the man in Harris- burg uses.
