BOOST.
Boost the city, boost your friends;
Boost the church tlmt you attend;
Boost tho street on whioh you’re ilwoll
mg,
Boost tlie goods you aro selling;
Boost the itooplo 'round about you—
They enn get along without you,
But success will quicker find them
If they know that you’ro behind them
Boost for oYcry forward movomont;
Boost for ovory new improvement;
Boost tho man for whom you labor;
■Oeoao to ho a chronic knocker;
‘Cbaao to ho a progress blocker—
If you’d make your city hotter,
Boost it to the final lottor.

PICTURE THEATERS ARE NO LON
GER “MOVIES.”
What. 1ms bocomo of the old-fashioned
roan who always wont to a “moviof
According to kocn obsorvurs of tho
picture world, ho is disappearing, along
with enstnrd pio comodicn, vampires, and
the desert island dramas where hero and
heroine live for thirty days on black
homes nnd lovo.
Likewise, thoro is disappearing tho
■“ movie fnn’’ with him.
In tho place of tho “movie,’’ we hav
tho “Ihontro” or tho “picture show.’
Instead of the “movio," nit applied to
tho picturo itself, wo hnvo tho “photo
play,” tho “so.roon drama” or Bimply
—tho “pictures.” And, whero onco sat
tlie "movie fan,” is now tlfc theatre
patron” or, I rotter still, tho “picture
Jovor. ’ ’
And why uotf Tho young glnnt of
Amoricnn industries that in a fow short
yoars has sprung from a novel oxpori
ment to n plnco In tho hearts of mon
women nnd bhildron tho world ovor; tho
universal umusemont that Ims brought
romance to tho workaday, laughtor to
the toll-worn nnd Inid tho world at tho
doorstep of tho man who novor ventured
A hundred miles from homo—this modern
miracle doservos n hotter nnmo than—
■"movie.”
Time wns, perhaps wlion tlds could
not liavo boon said with such truth.
There was a day, ill tho infancy of film
production,. when ’’ inovlo ’ ’ meant ox-
aetly wlmt the word implies—flaring
posters announcing a blood-curdling thril
ler of mush afid murdor; a poroxido
blondo cliowing gum violoiitly botweon
pickles; rows of uuoomfortablo, peanut-
champing poople porsplring or freezing
-to death, according to tho soaBon; n
crazy nickloodoon grinding out "Tho
Good Old Summer Tiino;” smells, gig
gles, growls, banana skins on tho door;
tho inovitable masher loorlng from tho
next seat; nnd u blinding flicker of light
nnd Ahndow before tlie oyos tlint, witli
difficulty, could bo distinguished ns Bor-
t!ia, tlie beautiful clothos-wringor, fall
ing into, tho clutchos of Jlospornto Des
mond,
Tlint, tlion, was wlmt wo cnllod n
"movie.” Hut today, -whon fatlior tnkos
Ids wliolo family to tho ploturos, they no
more deservo tho nnmo of “movio” than
Uio United States of today desorves to
lie called tho “wlldornoss” of 1492.
Gone is tho slioddy cheapness that
- characterized tlie front of .tho old
"movio.” In its’placo nro tasteful pla
cards, photographs nnd, nt night, blazing
-cloutrie signs, Tho building itsolf often
times is a veritable pnlaco, with 1 ’ sweep
ing white columns, innrhlo lobby nml
tiling swept as clu.nn as a hound’s tooth.
Gono is tho Blouohy “matingor” nnd tho
inattentive employees. In their stead
reign uniformed ushers nnd ushurottos,
.giving prompt nnd courteous sorvico and
ready with vigilant oyos to detect the
flrat pemmt shell or Uio flrat maalior and
tlirow them both out Air, washed by
water, makes the interior fnr frealiov
tbnn tho atroot outside; luxurious leather
eiiahions receive tircii bodies; soft car
pets, soft lights and expensive equipment
of nil kinds rest tho Hplrlt; nnd, on tlie
ncroon, is unfolded witli senreely a ripple
or a sound, figures, scones and events
tlint seem true to lifo.
It is any wonder Unit people no longer
epenk of ”movies” or themselves ns
"movie fnnsl” Ono does not hall the
visitor to the Metropolitan Museum' of
Art U “sketch fun’’ or spenk of Mich-
nul Angelo’s pninlliigs ns “sketches.
Nor does lie think of himself ns n “book
fau” because lie likes to rend, or re-
tfor to literature by some sueh inglorious
term ns “tho scrabbles.”
VVliere only a few people enn be eon-
xioisseiivs of art nml literature, thoro are
,-u multitude who appreciate motion pie
tup's, lovo them anil know tlni stars al
most ns they do their,own friends. And
it is well that, to them, the day Is at
hand when there shall no longer bo shell
» tiling JU « “movio fan,” but only
"motion pictures” or “photoplays” and
•"motion pistil fo-pntrous” nnd “mo
tion picture-lovers. ’ ’

"The world novor moved so fast bo-
: Toro.’’ mused Mr. Biuiiuons. “We have
'Winter ie# on tho Fourth of July, spring
vegetables on Christum*; we buy straw
hata in February and* our felt lints in
August; wo get our Sunday pago on
tSaturdny night, and our magazines n
month ahead of time. If wo call tv man
in San Francisco from Now York, he
bears our xoicq about four hours before
wo apeak; and if someone in Jnpnn sends
«m a telegram tomorrow wo got it to-
slay.”
FOLLOWS MASTER TO DEATH
Tho attachment of a Belgian Aire-
dalo dog,'brought from Franco, has been
demonstrated in tlie case of D. W. Ben-;
notts an A. E. F, man, who mot Ills |
death by falling down tho shaft of a j
mine just outside of BnHln, Montana,
according to tho following report, which
we republish as it nppenred n few weeks
ngo in tho Daily Post of Butte:
The fnitliful dog invarinbly accom
panied Bennetts from Ids cabin to tho
mine, but on this particular day the
lock on tho door snapped before tho
dog got out nnd Bennetts wont to the
mine without him. Soon after Bennotts
fell down tho slinft and sustained injur
ies which resulted in his dentil.
For two dnys tho dog wbh locked In
tho cabin, nnd on tho third day, whon tlie
door wnB opened, tho Airedale rushed
out. Ho mnilo straight for tho mine,
anil, taking up a position.at the mouth
of tho shaft, thoro ho remained for a day
nnd night, looking* down the big hole,
watching for his master. Ail efforts of
mon about the mine to get the dog nwuy
woro without success. They gave him
food nnd endeavored to coax him away
with n choice bone, hut it wns no use.
Finally the fnitliful dog bocamo desper-
rite, plunged head first into the shaft
nnd wns killed.
Boimetts was an overseas man nnd wns
buried in this city witli military honors,
Whon in Franco tho deceased enmo across
the Belgian Airedale anil took such n
liking to him that tho owner made him
a [(resent of tho animal. He brought
him across tho ocean, efired for him at
tho mustorlng-out camp, nnd then
brought him to this city.
A minor who enmo to tho city from
Basin related the story ns coming un
der Ii!h own personal knowledge.
INVEST IN A SMILE.
A plonsnnt smilo is 'tlie most inex-
ponslvo invostmont on onrtli niql it is
tho greatest one to bring a return. How
I wish everyone could realize just what
it moans to smile. I think wo nil would
smilo oftenor if wo did. So ninny peo-
plo lmvo toid mo how hard it is for thorn
to Btnile. Hero iB my roelpo.—hero it
is, very simple: When you aro about
jo smile, think first that—in your smile
you aro to promise something. That is
really what a smilo if for. It is a
promise, and you may mako it any kind
of a promiso you like. Somo people
hardly move their lips nt all in a smile,
while others smilo entirely with their
lips and lonvo their eyes expressionless.
Tho best mnilo of all is tho ono that
promises most. At your mirror ynu nmy
practice smilling witli groat success.
Just conjure up tho person you want to
smilo nt nnd fit tho Binilo to tho vision.
It will surprise you to know' how many
difforont kinds of promises ono happy
smilo may suggest.' It is so like a happy
party to lmvo a porson around who
smiles on gonQrnl principles and prom
ises nothing nt all but gladness for tho
vory joy of living. Cheerfulness sueh
ns this is lifo’8 finest tonic.
Vain Warnlnos.
An eminent uctor-mnlinger tolls n
story concerning n clergyman nnd hid
nctor son. Prior to his going on tho
stage the fntlier wrote to the manager,
snylng, “My son, John, hus threatened
to go on the singe, nnd 1 want you to
stop him.” Hotveyer, shortly ufter-
wnrd, the son did go on the stage,
krnl the manager, meeting him one
nuy, naked bow his fntlier took It.
"I lmvo not seen him," wns tlie reply,
“but he tnkos some Interest in me,
beenuso whenever any nctor Is charged
with a crime ho underlines the report
of It In the newspapers and sends It
to me."
Mrs. Goodart—“I wish to select a
present for my husband and I can’t think
of anything to give him. Ho doesn’t
smoke or drink or go out in tho evening
ot play cards, so it’s really very diffi
cult.”
