best and simplest plan IS to secure a
box, any ordinary wooden box, and iii
the bottom with sand, which Is then
covered with moss. Also have pMced

must be changed frequently. All of

Two window washers were Mt work
on the lodges of the sixteenth story
windows of a downtown Office building
about ten feet from each other. As they
hung to their straps and washed and
polished the glass they could look into
the offices, where number of clerks
were bending over 1edgers and books.
For half hour they worked and
watched the clerks, who did not move
from their confined position over their
books. Finally one big window washer
leaned back as far as his strap would
permit and called to his fellow:

a Dakota ranchman- II haye often

be done when you are riding up the

Your true deer hunter will never
shoot a deer running from him, as the
bullet win invariably spoil the hams

he is running full speed from him with
a shrill whistle. The deer almost al
ways will turn to see what that sound
means, only for fraction of second,
perhaps, but that is the hunters oppor-
tunity, and Mr.. Deer generally gets it

The department store scene is one Of
the novel stage settings of The season.
The elevator rushing up and down the
shaft, conveying department store Gus
toners with lightning-like rapidity,
causes more laughter to the square inch
than there are grains OF sugar in full
barrel.
The hotel scene is equally as novel,
although it is the more handsome set
ting.
Not stale witticism or joke was de-
Hvered during the entire evening. The
quick, sharp, snappy, Singcry, eiectrify-
ing movement Of the producing
stunts and the pleasantly noted absence
of the explanation method of Analysing
Jokes and comicnl situations, made the
play the more enjoyable.

At the ZOO the zebra. wild ass, deer
and ostrich went into paroxysms Of
rage Mt the sound of the piccolo, al
though they had manifested various
signs of pleasure over the violin and
flute. The tiger was asleep and re-
fused to be awakened by the fiddler
and futist. But when the man with
the piccolo began to play the animal
sprang furiously to it's feet and rushed
angriIy up and down the cage, flashing
its tail. So extreme was the beasts
anguish that the pIccoIo man speedily
gave place to the hutist The differ
ence in effect was ut once apparent.
The tiger stopped, listened, lay down
and purred like kitten in its enjoy
ment of the grateful sounds, and pres
emily fell asleep in luxurious repose.-
