Have you ever noticed that all ami
mails which chew the cud are cloven
footed? Also that most of those which
drink water by suction are herbivorous,
the carnivorous variety tapping it with
the tongue, like the cat. dog. tiger, etc.
Sheep have no teeth in the upper jaw,
and tortoises and turtles are without
altogether.
Unlike most animals, horses have no
eyebrows, and hares are minus eye
lids. Consequently the eyes of the lat
ter cannot be shut, and a thin men,
branous substance covers them when
asleep. The eye of the owl is also very
peculiar, seeing that it is immovably
fixed in it's socket and cannot stir in
any direction. To compensate for this
seeming disadvantage it can turn its
head almost completely round without
moving it's body. If you were to keep
a frogs mouth open many minutes, it
would soon die. as owing to it's peculiar
construction it can only breathe with
the mouth closed.
On the other hand, fishes are COM
PEELED to keep opening and closing their
mouths in order to give their respira-
tory organs full play. 1t is also
strange fact that the deer has addi-
tional breathing places besides the nos
trils, as if nature had foreseen his
great need of free respiration when
forced to flee before the hounds. Snakes
usually have their teeth in the head.
but one variety in Africa. whose prin
cipal food is eggs. is provided with a
substitute for them in it's stomach.

''Folks can't help dyin, Samuel-that

when Gabrieps horn sounded she had
to spread her wings. You'll miss the

Mr.. Gallup held the paper in his left
hand and reached down his right to
scratch his heel through his sock, but
he was dumb. Mrs. Gallup looked at
him through her tears for a time and
then choked down a sob and said:
"Well. if YOU don't miss me | can't

and waited for reply, but he was
reading how to make hammock out
of a -four barrel. and he paid no heed
20 the question.
"And are ali angels purity. Samuel?'
she continued after awhile. 1--WE new

OPENING
Of Ganyard & Woods
New Store.
Reception to Hundreds OF Friends
and Visitors.

One of the prettiest and most suc-
cessful store openings that has been
conducted in this city for some time
was that of Ganyard II Wood, ut their
new quarters, 1T0 and 172 South Main
ST., Friday afternoon and evening.
Large crowds were continuously
coming and going, from the time the
doors were thrown open at noon Fri
day until late at night, and the visi-
tors showed their appreciation of the
enterprise of the firm and the courte-
sizes shown by showering congratula-
tions upon Messrs. Ganyard and
Wood, and complimenting them and
their force of clerks on their excellent
taste shown in decorations and the
neat. attractive arrangement of the
stock. Both floors of the store are
conveniently arranged. and the space
of both aggregates 5000 square feet
The new quarters have ben named
The Daylight Store, from the fact that
large windows are located at the rear
as well as the front of both rooms, so
that there are no dark, glomy corners.
Floors of both roms are covered with
linoleum, and the ceilings and walls
are blue tinted, producing very pret-
ty effect. During the two years that
the firm, Ganyard & Wood has been
in business here their trade has grown
until 1t now demands nearly four
times the space required when the
store was opened. Now the store is
we'll housed, with loomy aisles be-
tween the rows of tables, and the
the first floor is a dressing room. and
mirrors are conveniently located. The
first floor is taken up principally with
clothing and gents furnishings. and a
children's department is at the rear.
| The second floor is used for an over
cont department and for surplus stock.
! Visitors to the store Friday afternoon
and evening observed that all the
stock displayed WAS elegant and up
| to-date and the neatness with which
the clerks had IT arranged on the
shelves attracted considerable atten-
ton and many compliments.
In every way, the opening was a
success. The rooms were decorated
with palms, roses aud carnations. A
good musical program was presented
by Prof. StickleS orchestra, and
orange punch was served to all the
visitors. The punch was served by

The Great Western Minstrels, with
a company containing 100 people,
among whom will be the best of local
talent, will probably be the event of
the week at the local playhouses. The
company has rehearsed carefully, and
the leaders are gentlemen who have
had ample experience before, so that
the show will not SAVIOR of the anna
teur. While the songs to be sung in
the first part are not all exactly new,
they are those which were the hits of
the season. and are popular. That
they will be capably handled is
doubted by none. The performances,
which will be given for the benefit
of the Great Western band, will take
place at the new Colonial theatre, Fri
day and Saturday evenings of next
week, with a matinee, Saturday after
noon.
Several new features have been add
ed to an olio which already contained
much of excellence, and the prospects
are that the show will be among the
very best and funniest ever given by
local talent The first part will be
as follows:
Opening chorus, Soldiers in the
Park" by the entire company of 100

Western band.

During the time that Frank L..

singers, until now, it is said he has
the pick of the talent in most of the
prominent musical Conservatives of
the country when he desires to replen.
ish his singing forces. Mr.. Perley has
already declared that among his great
chorus of trained voices in ''The

coming to the new Colonial theatre
next Wednesday, may be found
wealthy society girls who have been
placed under his management by pa,
rents and guardians rather than send

Much is expected of Meldred Hol-

Bohumir Kryl, the .cornet soloist
who is to appear here with Innes and
his band, is an illustration of what
can be achieved by pluck and indus
try, when welded to genius. A few
years ago Kryl was sculptor in In
dianapolis, working in the stelier of a
well known artist there. One night
after social dinner at which were
present both the young sculptor and
the famous bandmaster, Kryl was
prevailed upon to play few notes on
the instrument he loved beyond
almost anything else on earth. The
bandmaster was electrified "Why
my boy said he, you have for
tune in that cornet of yours. Come
with me; put yourself under my drec
tion and inside Of year you will be
earning more money than United
States Senator"
Kryl eagerly seized the opportunity
and the result has justified the predic
ton of the great bandmaster In addi
tion to Kryl, Mr.. Innes will introduce
Signora Adele Borghi, prima dons
of much fame in Europe; Miss Fran
ces Boyden, the young American so
prano, who recently won such success
in London; Signor Achille Albert, the
celebrated baritone and Signor Ed
gardo Zerni, tenor who has beer
compared favorably with the grea1
Brignoli, who will be heard in scenes
from Faust" Carmen" and Lucia.
