people pay for their seats, not to see his
back, but rather the smiling faces and
beautiful costumes OF the performers
that is, if they are worth looking at.
Perhaps, after all NJ. f. Robinson knew
what he was about in this case when he
oblterated two-thirds of the stage. The
chorus would not take prizes at beauty
show, not even the "booby prize" There
leader standing as near as possible to
the personelle on the stage, for most of
them stood, knelt prayed and rose with
their eyes literally glued to their direc-
tors stick, with which, "Svengali" like,
he seemed to have hypnotized his people,
making them act with as much ANNA
ton as wooden puppets. The singing is
beyond all criticism, for it would be
almost impossible to find words in the
English language to criticise sounds that
were meant to be musical, and yet fell
so many keys below the mark. Did
Daniel think he had the gift of voice?
He must have lost it screaming at the
lions when he was in close confinement
with them. Was it the original design
to have the quintette each have its
own key and keep to it valiantly all
through what should have been a very
musical number) quite regardless of
harmony? This was one of the cases
where NJ. E. Roblnson's hypnotic wand
seemed to affect the victims variously,
as no two of them seemed to feel the
desire to lift hands or eyes at the same
time. Probably the magic power took
longer to work with some than with
others, while the tenor on the end was
so influenced that his hands were wrung
in agony all through. The egotistical
king was evidently much handicapped
by his makeup, as his voice, which
showed some possibilities, was COM
pletely muffled by an unnatural NOUS
tache and beard. Doubtless, when he
is in his plain skin he would be heard to
much better advantage. His lord of
the court was evidently not used to
royal environment, for he did not seem
quite sure whether he should sing to the
king or one of the chorus girls; and it
did not make much difference to whom
he sang, for his little, two by-four, flute
like voice would not have induced any
body to an overindulgence in drinking.
The extreme grace and beauty of the
lady of the court made it quite imma-
terial whether she sang or not, but l
think she did, for her lips moved. The
queen had evidently "been there"
before, as she was quite at home in her
regal dress, and showed familiarity
with her part that was one of the
few redeeming features Of the evening.
Daniel ran good chance Of having
nightmare when lulled to sleep by the
Jewish maiden, though this solo was
doubtless overshadowed by stage fright.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1902-11-25

However, many of the people present,
influenced by The HERALD's write-up of
the previous day, had come from far and
near to hear the maiden, and she should
have done better. The angel of war
did her best to wake up the sleepy
soldiers. She made noble effort, and
possibly had she rehearsed the scene
oftener she might have been more sue
cessful. 1t is hardly pardonable, though,
when one who processes to be singer
is unable to keep on the tune.
AS for the "wand drillers, the charm
ing and unsophisticated little girls from
the High school, who at once were the
delight and admiration of everyone, es-
pecially the young high school boys,
enough praise for their beauty and
bewitching smile cannot be expressed
by one who is so used and fond of criti-
cising. They were all grace personified,
and "Effie," the little brunette, was,
believe, the darlingest one of them all.
l wish l could say as much for the
scarf drillers."' Some of them are
deserving of unstinted praise, but most
of them were so ungraceful; oh! go
stiff. For instance, the lady who wore
the nose glasses. l believe she was a
married woman, and l heard that she
was also a preachers wife. On the
other hand, there were some models of
grace and perfection. Another lady who
wore blue, l believe she clerks at Otter
Bros dry goods store-well, there was
nothin' to it; just ask anybody. Don't
ask me.
On the whole. it was perhaps as good
as the average amateur performance,
showing, as it did, what astonishing
things can be done under the guise of
music and the drama.

Foot Ball Champions 1902.

The High School team leaves Thursday
morning for match game with Ellens-
burg, and it is expected large crowd of
boys and girls, chaperoned by Mrs.
Stair, will accompany the team and help
cheer them to victory. The excursion
train will leave the depot about9 o'clock
returning that evening, and the trip will
certainly prove ENJOYABLE to anyone who
has spark of college enthusiasm and
thrills at the gigantic efforts of foot
ball eleven, especially when those efforts
are being put forth by their own STAN
dard-bearers. Football is great game
and purely American, although it did
originate in England. It's a game that
the school girl loves to see, that the
strong and athletic school boy with
plenty of pluck loves to play. There is,
of course, a certain degree of danger
connected with its manipulation, but
when you take that away, which is
impossible, the excitement and the
interest for the game will at once
Subslde.
The Yakima High school team has a
good husky team of pigskin defenders,
and Thursday afternoon the opposing
elevens of Ellensburg and Yakima do
battle on the gridiron.
Everybody is invited to come along
and root. Following is the line up:
Royal Shaw, captain and left half back.
Virgil Dudley, center.
Travis Able, quarter back.
Jack Cornwall, left guard.
Farlow Huxtable, right guard.
Herbert Shaw, right tackle.

qualities of your medicines-Peruna

more or less for quarter of a century

FOREST PROTECTION.
New jersey Legislature Has just
Passed q Law Which All Other
States Should Copy.

Through Senator Minch, our coun-
ell has succeeded in getting a law
passed by the New Jersey legisla-
ture, on forest fires. A law that we
urge all good citizens to understand
and sustain.
Friends of forests in other states
NAV do we'll to seek similar legisla-
ton in their respective common
wealths. Animal and plant life and
health are so dependent on forest
conditions, as influencing climate,
that forestry is an interstate ques-
ton. 1t is also such question in
respect to streams for water power,
and for navigation. For prevention
of floods and the regulation of rain
fall. The rainfall section of it alone
is one of many millions year to
any one of the United States. II
rain comes at the right time farm
err may clear say $500 a year more
than if not so coming. Every 10000
such farmers in that state have 49,
100000 annually at stake. Similar
figures apply to climate respecting
sickness. A citizen of a town, as
well as farmer, may lose $500 by
sickness that would be prevented by
wise forest regulation. Forest foil
age is the chief protection from ma
larial enemies in the air; and the
great dispenser of healthful oxygen.
Forests are the main and practical
ly the only regulation of rainfall.
Fire is the greatest of the many
enemies to the forest. The person,
or the corporation, starting such a
fire should suffer severe penalties.
To this end our forest council has
secured the passage of the law re-
ferred to. We believe it to be one
of the best ever enacted for this
purpose. It will repay citizens to
understand this law and sustain it.
The great work for good citizens
under it, is to secure investigation OF
forest fires, and see that each town.
ship committee selects fire marshal
Local civil engineers are often the
best men for marshals.
Citizens of other states not hav.
ing good laws protecting from for
est fires should demand similar &C
ton to that of New Jersey from
their respective legislatures, and then
sustain the same. Forest fires are
usually of far more damage than
they are assessed for.-George May
Powell, President New Jersey Forest
Council.
