'Aanon" is a general favorite. The company
itseif is the best that is now the road. 1t is
now in its eighth year and success has attended
every production. The secret of this lies In the
fact that Mr.. Carleton surrounds himself with
competent artists and his long and bril-

management of q big company like the one he
carries. The chorus alone numbers forty trained
voices and the full membership which Mr.
Carleton carries from the Atlantic to the Pa

large measure of his success is also due to the
fnct that he leaves nothing undone that Will aid

"Ihe Gondoliers" is quick and sprightly, hold

Several years ago James Payn excited
discussion by declaring that novel

which parents might well train their
sons, but it was not remarked at the

themselves novelists the children, sons
or daughters, seem often to take to fic-
tion naturally. Thomas Hood wrote at
least one novel, and his son, Tom Hood.

Mhat Makss : Man old.

To himself man is as old as he feels;
to others, as old as he looks. There is
nothing strikingly new in this observa-
tion, but it applied well in an amusing
case the other day. Ja a train that was
coming into Boston there were two gen.
tlemen sitting in contiguous seats.
One Of them was gray and bent As
the train approached the station the
white haired man rose, took up his over
coat, hesitated, and glanced nervously
around. Then he said:
"Young man. ] will be much obliged
if you will help me on with my over
coat
The other rose quicxly and gave him
the assistance that was asked for.
"There-owl Pm a little stiff Thank
you," said the old man. "You are kind.
Some time you may be old yourself and
then you will be glad Of young mans
assistance.
Tie other laughed Perhaps, sir, :"
he said, ~you wouldn't object to telling
me how old you are?"
81? Oh, no, said the old man. @Fm

a sigh.

1t was his actual age, but the first man
aatly refused to believe it. and went of
with an air as if he thought the other

The ways of lovely woman when she

together with glimpse into disordered

New York, on recent afternoon.
1t was close upon o'clock when a
young woman, tall, well dressed, ana

THE GREAT AUX.
A BIRD THAT IS PRosAsLY Ex-
TINcT.

Value of single EeR They Were Plenti-
full Few Years Ago-A Live bird
Would lie Worth a Fortune at the
Present Time.
A single egg Of the great aux is said
TO have been sold within a few years
for more than $1,000 Twenty years
ago the same egg, or another like il.
brought about $780, What the price
will be so years hence it would be un-
safe to guess The value Of birds eggs,
like the value of other things, depends
largely upon their variety.
The great aux was a common bird
within the memory of persons now liv-
ing. and in the early part of the last
century was so abundant on tie islets
about Iceland that the inhabitants often
filed their boats with the eggs Little
they thought that a single broken shell
would ever be sold for $500 AS late as
1874 two birds were killed in Iceland.
Since that time none have been re-
ported, probably not single one re-
manning alive
These last two specimens were cap
tured by party of fourteen men in an
excursion to a precipitous rocky islet
now known as Eldey. They landed at
the only landing place, and among the
innumerable rock fowl congregated
there they saw two auks, Of which they
at once went in pursuit
The birds ran before them-the great
aux could not hy, fact which prob
ably accounts for its determination
with their heads erect, and their little
wings extended, moving with short
steps about as fast as the usual gait of a
man. Both were caught and strangled,
and their bodies are now in the museum
of the University Of Copenhagen. At
the same time a single egg was found,
but it was broken.
Thus, SO far as can be known, ended
the life history of the great aux, or
northern penguin. The only relics of it
that are known to exist, according to
Professor Newton. are All or 70 skins
9 skeletons, 3S or Al detached bones of
different birds, and 65 eggs. Massachu-
setts gunners assured Audubon that the
great auk--the "garefowl," as they
called twas oncs common about
Nahant and the islands in Massachusetts,
Bay, and its bones have been taken
from shell heaps at Marblehead,
Ipswich, and Plum Island.
An almost perfect skeleton, now in the
British Museum, was found on Funk
Island, off the coast of Newfoundland,
and Methodist missionary, who was
stationed on the coast of Newfoundland
from 1918 to 1923, informed Mr. Board
man that the "penguins" were seen
there in considerable numbers through
out that time. 1t was common for boys
to keep them tied by the leg as pets.
And yet the discovery of single liv
ing bird would now be telegraphed
round the world as a great scientific

DIVISION SCHEMES UNPOPULAR.

The Senate does not seem very well
disposed toward the various division
schemes that are about to come before
it. Last Monday by a vote of IA to
), it adopted a resolution setting
forth that the needs of the State were
OF paramount Importance, and that no
legislation looking to the division Of
counties would be considered until
business pertaining to the State at
large shall have been adjusted.
This IS believed to settle the various
division schemes, as the class of BUSH
ness given preference would keep the
Legislature busy for six mo, tbs.

WHO Is TO BLAME?

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found letter from Boise. Having
been mailed the 18th it should have
reached here the 18th, at latest. Yet,
here it is the 2lst--FoUR DAYS out
from Boise!
Nor is this the FIRST instance Of the
kind. Every letter sent the TIMES
from Boise this session has BEEN from
three to six days en- route, when it
should be less than ONE DAY. Last
Friday three letters mailed OH differ
ent days came at once.
The TIMES is not alone in com.
planning. Half-a dozen citizens of
HALEY have complained of similar
experiences during the pa.t six weeks.
Now, what is the ma ter? WHY is
mail matter (which is always of un.
usual Importance durrg Legislative
sessions) four and even six days in
transit between Boise and HALEY?
This should be investigated by the
Department, and, as some one must
be accountable for the delay, the
guilty party or parties should be pun
ished by instant dismissal.
