Cunning TO THE THEATRES.
The Columbia - "AIi on Account of
EIiza.r

The admirers of Louis Mann and Clara
Lipman. who have for a time applauded
the entertaining work of these two play
ers as exhibited in The Girl from Paris. -
The Telephone Girl" and THE Girl in
the Barracks" will find 1t difficult task
to imagine them in place dealing entire
ly with the doings of little village in
the interior of New York State and en-
acting the central figures in a group of
characters as rustic in type as those to
be found in THE Old Homestead"
Miss Lipman and Mr. Mann have. how
ever, fulfilled an ambition, cherished for
several years, of displaying their talents
in comedy of a thoroughly legitimate and
wholesome nature. and that the ambition
was not gratified sooner was owing Who'll
ly to the lack of a suitable piece in which
to seek the good will of their admirers.
In 'All on Account of Eliza written ts-
pecially for them by Leo Ditrichstein, they
have found the vehicle for which they
sought. 1t affords them characters in
which they are said to be uproariously
funny, and it enables them to keep tie
risibilties of their audiences at concert
pitch without once resorting to even
trace Of the French suggestiveness which
characterized some of the former produc-
lions in which they were cast. The piece
made an emphatic success in New York.
That success. it is pretty safe to say, will
be duplicated at the Columbia Theatre
next week The advance sale of seats for
"All on Account of Eliza" opens today.

Indian Braves Dramatic Fate.

One Of the most tragic episodes In the
life of ''The First White Baby Born In
the Northwest" after she had grown to
girlhood is told by w. S. Harwood, In
the Ladies Home Journal. Her father
was an army officer and the little FROM
tier post where he was stationed had
been established to prevent bloodshed
between the Chippewas and the Sioux
and to see justice done between them
A quintette of Sioux braves had brutal
ly killed some of the Chippewas with
out cause. The commandment of the post
investigated the affair, demanded the
guilty Sioux, and, as there was no Ques-
ton regarding the crime, turned them
over to the Chippewas. One of the
Sioux, stalwart young fellow, was an
especial favorte Of the little girl. He
was master hand at fashioning curl.
Gus toys, and many were the treasures
which he had given TO the little paleface
whom he loved. So 1t was with heavy
heart that she heard the decision Of the
Chippewa council-the gantlet. Far
across the flower decked parade ground
stood the line of Sioux waiting for their
comrades. Opposite them We're the
Chippewas with their best rifiemen in
readiness. Ii the prisoners succeeded
in reaching their friends they were en-
titled to liberty. One by one the indiana
sprang forth, and one by one they were
left quivering amidst the summer flow
ers. Little Six" the friend Of the
girl who stood watching the strange
scene from the doorway of her fathers
quarters, was the last of the FIVE and
the swiftest runner of them all. There
was an intense hope in her heart that
he might be spared, but though he with
stood one velley she was doomed to see
her favorite spring into the air, just as
he reached the goal, and fall dead at
the feet of his friends.

The amateur photographer who
wishes to make name and reputation
that will be worth something to him
must make a speciality of some one line
and stick to It, Think the thing over
and study the particular subjects that
best suit your temperament and the
surroundings, and In which success can
best be won. George Horace Lorimer,
editor of the Saturday Evening Post,
says the condition of affairs Is such
now that the man who makes study
of and best understands some one sub
ject, even II 1t be no more than buckle

cess than the one with a general
knowledge Of a variety of things. Go
slow and sure. Put away some of the
pictures you think all right and in a
week or two look at them again. De-
fects will appear, not apparent at first,
and points where an improvement
could have been made will suggest
themselves. Get some friend who is
capable of doing so to criticise your
work honestly This does not mean

A Whaling Snfder.

II. A. Peters. one Of the owners of
the Lashaway dairy farm, on the
Spencer road, while on his way to
Spencer, Mass, captured an immense
spider Of unknown species. When Mr.
Peters first saw the spider, which was
making bee line over the public high
way for East Brookfield, he was so
amazed at the sight that he rubbed
both eyes several times before he could
realize that the monster was a reality.
Then, hastily grasping an empty glass
milk jar, Peters jumped from the wag-
a prisoner when he was startled by a
distinctly audible whistle emanating
from the insect Instantly q flock Of
minute facsimiles Of the peculiar spi-
der came rushing from all directions,
clambering up the legs Of the big spi-
der, and hid themselves in the fuzzy
hair on Its back. After securing her
young Mrs. Spider assumed a defensive
attitude. Peters thrust the mouth Of
the jar over the whole family of spiders
and made them prisoners. Hundreds
have since viewed the monster and it's
offspring and all are puzzled. The body
of the large spider is one and a half
inches In length. The body Is black
and is supported by eight powerful legs.
each two inches long. The head Is
supplied with powerful-looking jaws,
from which two feelers half an inch in
length protrude. The beady eyes are
