Fear is depicted in every facial expression as the natives dance about her in gleeful anticipation of their feast on this delicate morsel. The chief, sitting in judgment, determines to appropriate both nurse and vehicle, and in the final scene we see the chief engineering the perambulator, loaded with his own offspring, and the, maid at his side, with numbers of the natives doing homage to their royal mistress.

GOOD WINE. Approximate Length, 247 feet.
Price, $29.64
Very vividly depicts the effects of an over indulgence in this luscious liquid. Through a window we can see a number of men shaking dice, and after each game all have a glass of wine. A newcomer finds his way into the place and joins the game. He appears to be a loser and all have their drinks regularly. After a time all are seen to depart, but the loser forgets to pay, and as he reaches the street he is overtaken by the proprietor, and as the man cannot pay he receives a severe chastisement and passes on down the street, a strong testimonial to the effect of a "good" wine.
This will prove of good entertaining quality and has excellent photographic detail.

Coming down the street are two of nature's less favored sons, and these our friend accosts and soon induces to agree to deliver the roller to his premises. Giving the necessary directions as to the place of delivery, he turns over to them his purchase and departs.
