AMUSEMENTS What the Press Agents Say About Attractions { | | | | The Great Welsh Mystery | 1 POPC OCPLOVTPUDUT Last year produced its full share 'ot sensational murder trials, but | mone in living memory is able to | dwarf in one county of Wales the evergreen story of a trial and execu- | tion which took place over a hundred years ago. For no trial, sentence, or execution | has ever been accompanied or fol- | lowed by such striking phenomena, some of which have continued down | | to this day, as that of the man whose i | mystery grave can still be seen in | Montgomery churchyard. | Because it is a robber's grave it bears no headstone and is placed Ia a neglected corner of the cemetery 80 that the bones of a felon may not | | contaminate worthy men and women | who take their long rest around. But , more people visit the robber's grave than any other in the county.

It is a story of a new England shipping town with Jack Ma- lone a sailor son of one of the families i and Patty Thomas, pretty school tea- cher and daughter of the mayor, the ; other principal attraction. There is a drunken father, trusting i parents, a villain, rival, and all the stuff that makes a good story of the old-fashioned kind. There are, of | course, misunderstandings, false accu- ' sations, and a whole bunch of drama- tic moments throughout the screening. Malone had won the hearts of the children of the town, Through the machinations of an enemy and the force 'of circumstances appearances | seemed to be against him and all turn- | ed their faces from him but the child-| { ren whose friend he had been. The little tots carried him through his i hour of need and it was through their { efforts on his behalf, some of them unintentional, that he regained his po. sition in the community and the heart | of Patty Thomas. Thereds an excellent supporting cast { for Meighan and the other parts of the i Capitol bill make it a most enjoyable evening's entertainment, At The Strand. As an added attraction, the Strand | management will offer on Thursday, Friday and Saturday next a singing, instrumental and dancing act, "Lodder and Lanny," direct from the leading vaudeville theatres, in conjunction with the showing of Johnny Hines in "Lit- | tle Johnny Jones." It is seldom that Kingston fans have the opportunity of enjoying an act of this calibre, which will be shown for three days only.

AUCTION Of Household via fo A Rh Eg sastruction For further Informa apply 29 UNION STREET Wher | living in a manor house named Oak- field, a mile or two from Montgom- ery. James Morris, the husband and father, had allowed the house and its farm lands to fall intd decay. Scant resources soon proved ume equal to the strain, and the two wo- | men turned to their relatives for ad- | vice. One of the latter had come into contact with a man named Joha Newton. He came from over the bor- der and his antecedents were quite unknown in the district. Under the direction of Newton, | Oakfield was transformed. In two | Years the farm became one of the | most prosperous in the county. New- | ton lived at the Manor House with | his employers, but not even to them | did he speak of his past. His energy was astonishing. But | work was not his only interest. Of an evening, after his long day in the fields, Newton would sit beside the table in the manor parlor and, in 8 voice whose reverence awed and fascinated his hearers, would rea chapters from the Bible to Mrs. Mor ris and Jane. | The changes at Oakfield did not escape attention. Two men, Thomas | Pearse and Robert Parker, viewed them with special interest. Each coveted Oakfield in his own way. The property had formerly belonged to Pearse's family, and Pearse hoped that the house and farm would ule timately revert to him. Parker, the younger of the two, sought to obtain & prize of another kind. He was the ardent suitor of the widow's daugh- | ter. So Pearse and Parker entered into an alliance. They agreed to trump up a charge against him. One night, at a desolate spot in a lane the two ' men pounced upon him from behind. They accused Newton of robbing Pearse on the road, and pretended to find a stolen purse in his pocket. They also said that he had struck | Pearse with his sticks. | The trap was all too clear. The | accusers, both men of standing, had | Newton at thelr mercy. He was forced to accompany them to -the | county jail. Poor Newton, awaiting his appear- ! ance at the assise court had no! friends save two, the widow and her daughter. Despite the strength of | the evidence against him, the wo- | men's faith did not fail. But these good souls "Gould not help him. The jury heard the case | for the prosecution, supported in | every detall by both witnesses. New- ton refused to cross-exaiine them, and contented himself with solemnly protesting his innocence. The result was fhevitable; he was found guilty. The usual question was then ad- dressed. to the prisoner by the clerk of assise. Speakingyquietly and with Bo sign of fear, Newton replied: "My lord, it is evident all I could say in opposition to such testimony would be vain and hopeless. The witnesses are men of respectability and upon their evidence the jury could pronounce no other verdist. I blame them not. From my soul, too, | I forgive those men u whose false testimony I have been convicted. "1 have, in humble devotion, of- fered a prayer to Heaven and be- Live it has been heard and accepted. | And ip meek dependence on a merci. | ful God, which I have offended, but | who has I trust, pardoned my of- fence, I venture to assert that, it I am innocent of the orime for which I suffer, the grass, for one generation | at least, will net cover my grave. | "My lord, I await your sentence | without a murmur. And 1 devoutly | pray that all who hear me now may repent of their sins and meet me again in Heaven." Newton was then sentenged to death, ' After the usual interval he was brought from his cell to the scaffold. It was a beautiful morning. But, as Newton appeared on the scaffold, | white clouds came seudding into the blue sky, chased by great black, threatening masses. The sun was shrouded, there was a flash of light ning, rain poured upon the prison roof and mighty crashes of thunder heralded the condemned man into the beyond. Men marvelled and recalled New ton's last speech.

Now once mors a united country with a population of forty millions, Poland. fafds the fu- ture as a buffer state betweeh'a hated Russia and a feared Germany, with old internal troubles which ruined as fine national prospects before, of a strong devoted and despised Jewish populace, a nobility with little sym- pathy for the poorer classes. But intense patriotism glows there, warm quick moving blood courses through Polish veins, calamities have taught the value of united national- ity, and the burden resting on them of keeping the peace between two ter- rible foes, both of which ravaged their country during the past War, will, the world expects, give sucoess to the efforts of the Poles to come back again among the foremost of | the nations. Sucl a future is alluring to them after their long eclipse, but to the majority the amazingly entrancing history of their past is: of greater in- terest. In "The New Poland," by Nevin | Winter, a congiderable part of the work is devoted to its history. Some of us will learn for the frst time from {its pages how, important a part Kosciuszko, tts last national hero, played in the American Revolution- ary War, when his military training and engineering ability materially as- sisted Washington to hold his own against the loyalist colonists and such British and hireling troops as Great Britain could spare from her other engagements, to help them. In his old age Kosciuszko went back to the United States and niade a will be- queathing his money to help to re- move the curse of slavery, by redeem- ing negro slaves. As he travelled over the earth, nowhere did the hero receive warmer welcome, Mr. Winter tells us, than in London, although he had aforetime lent his valuable ald to the enemies of its people. Pad- crewski, the musician; Pilsudski, the soldier; Sienkiewiesz, the novelist; Modjeska, the vocalist, among Po- land's noted moderns receive full treatment, and there are numerous illustrations from photographs of the superb monuments, wonderful build- «Ings and handsome cities of the coun- Whistling for Health. Medical science has discovered many devices for improving the health, and it has long been an ac- cepted fact that singing develops the lungs, so it 1s not surprising that an advocate comes. forward in favor of whistling as a healthful exercise. Alice Miriam Heller, of Reading, Eng., is a teacher of whistling who declares that there is an art of whist- ling which belongs to the higher musical accomplishments. She be- lieves it 1s" perfectly possible to have a chorus of trained whistlers that is certainly as lovely, if not 'lovelier, than the ordinary choral work. In Los Angeles, which boasts the only school for professional whistiers in the world; we had a group of forty whistling voices, and the resuits ob- | talned were remarkable and very beautiful." Nor is whistling good Just to listen to. It may also be made a form of healthful exereise that is without parallel for lung develop- ment. One is surprised that so little has been made of this natural musi- cal instrument, especially when its benefit to the health, and ready ap- plication to both vocal and instru- mental music is considered. Perhaps it only needs bringing to the notice of the public to become as popular as its merits deserve. Those Wonderful Atoms. People often talk very glibly about atoms without for a moment realis- ing what an atom really is. Its diameter is too small to be seen under an ordinary microseope. Atoms have been closely studied for over a century and only within the last de- cade has it been possible to meastre them. An atom is indivisible and 'is found to be very much like celestial solar systems, in that it contains a central sun which is called the nu- cleus around which revolve from one to ninety-two planets called negative electrons. These move In orbits af- ter the style of the planets. Small as the atom fis, its nucleus which is charged with positive electricity, ia 80 much smaller that there is enough space in an atom for eight billion or more nuclel. > Sterne's Great Sentence. ' Eight words entitle Laurence Sterne to be ranked with the famous men of all time. These words are believed by almost everyone to be somewhere in the Bible. No other writer in English has penned a sen- , | tence that has been quoted by thou- sands of people in the certain belie! '| that they were repeating a Biblical! statement.

She is a strong and healthy Scottish lass, atid 'the excitement of the evening fbrought more than the usual! flush to her cheeks. Miss Macdonald does not dance or smoke, but is good at hockey and other outdoor sports. In contrast with the glittering briiMance of the two other political receptions, Labor's was very prole- tarian. There was only lemonade to drink, and many of the mea smoked their pipes.in the course of the evening. Only one aan wore a clawhammer, Most of the others appeared in everyday sack suits, including the prime minister. The affair was concluded by 10.30 o'clock, that the guest might reach home in plebian trams, buses or tube trains.
