said that it was just a little birthday
party that he and Mrs. White were
putting on for the students. The
pictures shown wee two comedies
and six reel featuie depicting real
Indian life as it was lived one hun
derd years age. This feature, A
Daughter of Dawn, as it was called,
has only been shown a few times, as
the producers are just down South
for the winter season and intend to
carry it to Washington in the near
future. It is the only picture ever
made in which e\ery participant was
a full blooded Indian, and the educa
tional benefits of such a production
are only too evident. The story it
self w'as one that still told by the
few remaining chieftains of the fast
-1 ly declining tribe:, of long ago—one
of the love and trials of a beautiful
Indian maiden of the tribe of Kiowas.

DREW CHARACTER FROM LIFE
Thackeray’s ‘Beatrice’’ Said to Have
Been Modeled en Career of Prof
ligate Duchess.
One of the few feminine charac
ters of Thackeray that was not de
clared insipid by critics, was his Be
atrice. She was drawn from real life,
and the original was the daughter of
Col. Thomas Chudleigh, afterward to
become Elizubeth, duchess of Kings
ton. She married Augustus Hervey,
earl of Bristol, after setting all Lon
don by the ears with her beauty, spir
it and pranks. He was a member of
the naval forces, and shortly after
their secret wedding was called to
sea, and when he returned found his
wife the reigning beauty of the court
and head over heels in half a dozen
affairs, the one with the duke of
Kingston being so notorious that even
the street gamins knew of it. She
managed to bring a suit for a jactita
tion, and her husband was subject to
heavy penalties should he say she
was his wife. She then married the
duke.
Her great beauty was a storm sig
nal wherever she went in London and
i Paris, and a long list of duels, ruin
and trouble followed her wake. Al
! though she lost a part of her fortune
! she continued to be received at con
tinental courts up to her death at the
I age of sixty-eight, as wicked in her
| dual years as in her youth. She got
drunk, swore, had a dozen lovers, ru
ined as many more, and In fact did
' everything that should have brought
her shame and sorrow, but lived a ri
i otous life to the end.

Only One of a Number Struck in 1825
Is Believed to Be in Existence
T oday.
To defray the expenses incident to
the inauguration of John Quincy Ad
ams as the sixtli President of the
United States in 1825, the inaugural
committee sold medallions at $5 each.
Five dollars was considerable money in
those days, and the owner of a medal
lion was entitled to special considera
tion at the inaugural ceyernouies.
As much as the medallions were
prized 95 years ago, it is believed that
only one exists today, the property of
J. A. Larrick, a policeman detailed to
Washington police headquarters.
The Adams medallion was given to
Larrick 15 years ago by Edward Mur
phy, who is now dead. Murphy’s fa
ther, who witnessed the inauguration
of President Adams, was the original
purchaser of the medal.
At time he was presented with
the medallion, Larrick was a police
man in the First precinct. Murphy
was an aged bookkeeper. Larrick on
several occasions assisted the old fel
