At the Bent- ley Theatre The latest Bosworth release is "Hyp a drama written and produc ed by Lois Weber will be shown at the Bentley theatre tomorrow. Through the dramatic incidents of the play is woven a remarkable allegory, depicting the search for Truth by one consecrat ed to the task, and the revelation of the real natures of the characters of the story as Truth shows them in her mag ic mirror. A brief prologue opens the play, showing the rage of the people in olden times as a monk endeavors to pre sent to them his idea of Truth. In modern times the same people, their hypocritical natures unchanged, treat with the same contumely, the leader who tries to show them the truth. For dramatic force and artistry this is one of the most remarkable films ever ex hibited.

Courtenay Foote, Myrtle Sted man, Abele Farrington, Herbert Stand ing are in the cast. Margaret Edwards, the most perfectly formed woman on the stage, plays the striking roll of Truth, a spirit. The prices for this famous picture will be 10 and 15 cents and the silverl ware will be given away in the evening, Zirm ix Family Reunion A reur .1 of the brothers and sister of the jmer family was held Sunday at the hme of C.

So I traveled pretty rapid For a day or two But I found the life was vapid And it's joys were few I tired of club and show house And of Tom and Jack And the house is simply no house Till my wife comes back. The rooms are damp and musty And the foods low grade And everything is dusty And the beds not made So comfortless the house is That repose I lack And I won't know where my things are Till my wife comeB back.

Her going's very recent But it seems a year For life is scarcely decent When she isn't here I'm gloomy and I'm snappy And the skies seem black And I guess I won't be happy Till my wife comes back.

Clyde C. Mason, of Port Arthur, Texas, former residents of this city, telling of the terrible storm along the Texas water front last month. In writing, Mrs. Mason stated the flood and the havoc wrought are almost beyond description. In part she says "on the morning of the 16th about 3:30 o'clock we were awakened by officials of the town who told us to move with the children to some strong building that a terrific storm was coming.

We dressed hurriedly, took a few clothes and after running about a half a mile carne to the magnificent Plaza hotel where we found refuge. People were running in every direction and all were highly excited. The storm died down for awhile and we went back home but in the afternoon another warning came and this time the wind kept blow ing harder until it was unsafe on the streets. Mr. Mason was getting ready to go to work when informed that the heaviest part of the storm was coming so we made ready to go to the hotel again.

We packed two suitcases and caught the six o'clock street car for the Plaza. That was the last street car that was operated for two weeks in Port Arthur and while on our way to the hotel we thought the car would be blown from the track. The wind blew at a rate of (50 to 90 miles an hour for 48 long hours. Windows were blown from their frames and little Ruth received cuts from flying glass. There was no light in the city, all was dark.

Three days later we were taken home in a wagon and the horses almost had to swim, right in the middle of the street too. We had a foot of water in our yard and we live in the highest point in Port Arthur. On the Main street there was from five to six feet of water. There were at least 2000 people out of their homes and much fine furniture was ruined. I saw several costly pianos that looked like big squares of mud.

We could look out of the windows of our hotel, which was completely surrounded by water, and see those giant waves rolling in and roaring, and every one looked as though it would simply gobble up our place of refuge. A few days after the flood they killed an alligator right in Main street that was eight feet in length The Neches river bank was alive with young alligators. I have heard of big storms down here, before we moved here and I liked the place but now we have changed our mind and are homesick for Monongahela. Mrs. Johnson, a friend, who resides in a large residence in another part of the town housed 30 outcasts during those awful days.

Some of these poor people were forced to flee from their homes only to learn later that there was five feet of water in their homes. Fourteen lost their lives here in our little city and we consider ourselves very fortunate. Words will not express the scene and the constant noises that accompanied the storm. It was a continued, never dying hissing of the wind and roaring of the mammoth waves. The city is now trying to take on its usual appearance." in Texas The Eastern Star Corn Roast Corn on the cob, in all its delicious ness, together with the many side issues, were heartily enjoyed by over one hundred and fifty who attended the Eastern Star corn roast held last even ing on the spacious lawn at the home of Mr.
