Last winter n delegation of Indians
from far western state, on tour of
inspection through the interior depart
ment, visited the land office, where
they were introduced to the clerk who
had especial charge of their section of
the country, bumptious little individ-
ual with big head. This official pro-
ceeded to overpower the red men with
his Importance. Grasping each one of
them cordially by the hand, he patted
them patronizingly on their backs
and then delivered a long speech, ex-
planning In detail the work of the Of
flee, their interest In 1t, laying particu-
lar stress on the fact that he was the
motive power of 1t all. AS soon as
their entertainer paused for breath the
visiting Indians began to grunt and
talk among themselves.
"What are they sayingY' asked the
egotistlcal clerk, expecting to hear
high praise Of himself. "Iell me what
they are saying"
II cannot tell you," replied the inter-
prefer "It was not for you TO hear"
But the little man insisted, and with
great reluctance the interpreter finally
yielded. "They said," he translated,

At the Grand.

Magician Kellar, who is without
question the greatest necromancer of
modern times, will appear in this city
shortly, with an entertainment, which
promises to eclipse his former efforts
In every detail. He deals this year
in the mysteries of the HIndoo magi-
clans, about whom so much has been
written and Whose exploits he fairly
outriyals. He will offer dozen new
illusions and host of new tricks in
small magic, at the Grand, wcdnes-
day, Jan. 10.
The funny original acrObatic force
frolic by the famous Brothers Roger,
is as lively a pell-mell production as n
Bowery restaurant at the noon rush.
1t is fast and furious in its everchang-
ing situations. 1t gives the perform
ers no breathing spells, and barely
allows the audience time to catch its
breath between the laughing spells.
the play provokes and the audience
shows no signs of weakening during
the performance. AT the Grand, Mon
