A HFrfdaYo Ship,

A true story is told Of a skeptical
Massachusetts, captain who, way back
in the early years Of the republic, de-
termined to exhibit the fallacy Of the
Friday superstition He contracted on
a certain Friday for the building Of a
ship, and it was arranged that the keel
Of this vessel was laid on Friday, that
she was launched on a Friday, named
Friday, commenced loading on a Fri
day and hauled into the stream on the
same day of the week To add to the
possibilities of disaster, a negro cook
named Friday was engaged, and, thus
fully freighted with the sinister name,
the Friday sailed on a Friday, bound to
a port in the West Indies. From that
day to this no tidings of the Ill condi-
toned craft have been received.

The Maids Evasive Answer.

Strange as it may seem, there is a
public man in this city who is blessed
or cursed with a tender conscience
that worries him in small matters as
well as in great. Among the things
that he cannot justify to himself is
the bidding a servant to say that he
is not at home when in reality he is in
side his house. At the same time he
is not able to receive the many visitors
who call upon him, and his only re-
source was to give instructions that
polite excuses should be given. Upon
one occasion such instructions were
given to a maid, an Irish girl gifted
with the readiness and good wit of
her nation.
"Then I'm to be saying, sir, that
you're not at homer the maid in

"I'll do it, sir, never fear" was the

her word.
That afternoon a person of impor-
lance made his appearance and was
duly sent away. The faithful maid
reported the circumstance to her en-
ployer.
what did you do, Mary?" inquired
the latter, with some trepidation.
"Oh, I just put him off, sir, as you

Feast of Fools.

The best authorities agree that the
origin of the ancient custom of cele-
brating a feast of fools is unknown.
Some identify it with the Roman feast
of fools on March 81 But why did the
Romans institute the feast of fools? In
India March 81 is '+the hull festival"
when all manner Of pranks are played
upon the needless. But again, where
did the Hindoos get 1t? The French
call the April fool "un poisson dAvriT

Beautiful Horses as Living Pictures.
Pleasing Sight i'm the Main Circus.

Pleasing Sight in the Main Circus.
One of the most enjoyable features pre-
sented by the Main Circus, which exhib-
it's here afternoon and evening of Wednes-
day, June Is, is the array of magnificent
horses in classical animal poses, display
ing a rarity of equine comeliness seldom
seen. In the beginning of the perform
ance the beautiful Durbar entree is given
in which all the shows riders. skilled in
equestrianism, participate. Invariably
this entree number elicits ordinations
of pleasure from the audience, and this
may also be said of the novel Bamboo
Quartet" of two lady and two gent
equestrians, who produce artistic pic
lures in which the bamboo bough adds
materially to the gracefulness of this
edifying and interesting execution.
No organization in the land satisfies
lovers of equine beauty like the Walter L.
Main amusement. For years this enter
soonest horses of any show. In what
show term manage" acts the Main
Circus particularly excels, the horses
employed in this performance being
selected with the most careful scrutiny
as to style, intelligence and beauty.
Perhaps this fact is better illustrated by
the group of IS horses and IS cute little
ponies directed by their trainer, Miss
Foss, whose every kind command the
intelligent animals obey with alacrity.
And it may be said of this fair eques-
trienne, who sits her saddle with an air
of stately dignity. that the moment she
rides forth on her big, sleek animal one
feels that here is a lady who understands
horse, and the performance. given by
her dumb school of actors more than
bears out this impression.
From the smallest pony to the heavi
est equine with this big show the keen
knowledge of an experienced horseman is
in evidence.
The horse stables will be open for the
inspection of visitors on the afternoon of
the shows arrival.

a boy, as I've often told you. When
was a boy I allus aimed to get in the

"That's what did," said Johnny.
"Well, you must have been too easy
with it. My system used to be to hit
him one hard under the chin, and it
would be all over. That system never
failed"
"But suppose" said Johnny, "that

nothing to eat since morning.
Henderson rose from the snow and
put her bride rein back over the sad
die and led her to the trail which led
back toward his cabin. go home, old
girl" he said, ''but don't tell them
where you left me. This is as good a

The pony started down the trail.
Henderson took a cartridge from his
belt and fitted it into his rifle. 81 won

He placed the butt of the gun against
a jagged rock-the muzzle over his
heart. Then he turned and looked out
over the east to the moon, which was
big and round and beautiful.
While he stood watching soft in
dia rubber like nose was pushed over
his shoulder, and the ugliest pony in
all the San Luis said as plainly as a
horse can say things that she was hun
cry and wanted to go home. Hender-
son dropped the rifle into the snow.
''We'll give them one more chance, old
lady," he said.
Then he climbed YEARLY into the
saddle and rode down toward the val
ley.
When he reached Alamosa he took
the pony to the stable and fed her roy
ally.
Afterward he went to the postof1ce.
There was letter there for him. This
is what it said:
My Dear-I am so sorry-so dreadfully
sorry-about 1t all. Mr.. Macdonald has
written Frances how you would not tell
me about your failures and all that sort
of thing. Why didn't you? Why couldn'
you have told me that you wanted me to
help you fight out? I would, dear-oh, 7
would And why didn't you ask me
whether I cared-cared more than any
you, dear?
Surely to ask me to love you wouldn't
be asking so very much. I am waiting,
dear. VIII you conner KATHERINE.
Henderson came out Of the postoffce
and found in front of the hotel a group
of men. They We're mounted and evil
IDENTIFY ready to ride away. Macdonald
was with them. "We'H go first up the
trail toward Sunnyside," he said.
Henderson walked over to the group.
"Were you looking for me, old man?'
he asked. "If you were you're just in
time to go with me to the station. The
train leaves at midnight"
Then he handed the letter to Mac
donald.
When the little narrow gauge train
pulled out that night Henderson occu-
pied one of the berths of the Denver
sleeper. Three days later he was in
New York. Katherine was waiting for
him.
The next spring Macdonald found
the rifle at the foot of the jagged rock
on the crest Of the mountain.

The Vaudeville at the Grand.

A programme noteworthy for it's variety
is the Offering of the Grand's management
this week. 1t is not often that amusement
seekers will find history, art, music, COM
edy, farce, mimicry and ventriloqusm all
in one theatrical entertainment but such
is the case in the Grand's current vaude-
vile bill which was presented yesterday
afternoon and evening before large aud
fences. There is an absence of acrobatics
in the show, but as the Grand has had so
many acrobatic acts during the last three
or four weeks this feature is not missed
One of the most striking exhibitions ever
seen in vaudeville is the one which heads
the programme-the art studies OF Jean
Marcel, a clever Frenchman who has
brought the posing of living models TO a
high state of perfection. His reproductions.
shown in a big golden frame are those
of world-famous paintings and sculpture
and has relief in ancient and modern art.
and are wonderful in respect of fidelity and
ingenuity of execution. The so-calIed '1iv-
ing pictures" of several seasons ago were
not in the same class with these splendid
pictures planned and exhibited by M
Marcel. In the first place the models
four men and three women, clad in white
fleshings from head 10 foot-are not only in
dividuals having beautiful forms, but they
pose naturally. gracefully and are as mo-
tionless as death. Ten pictures are dis
PLAYED and in each the most careful con-
sideration for every possible detail has
been shown. The musical accomplishments
are noticeably we'll selected and in all tho
exhibition is OF exceptional value
Mr.. and Mrs. Mark Murphy, old favorites
with Grand audiences, head the comedy por-
ton of the programme with q sketch called
why Dugan Swore on" 1t is not n
particularly clever vehicle but the Muir
phys are always amusing and they sue

during the greater part OF the time that
they are on the stage. Two excellent en-
tertainers presenting single specialties -
as they are called, are Madge Maitland and
Lew Sally. Miss Maitland, who is new TO

canoes have not disappeared from the
face Of the earth, despite the violence of
their rather recent rage, and some of the
newer IDEAS in stickpins show small canoes
mounted In mosaic with exceedingly at
tractive effect. The prices of the pins
range from s. upward.
The later arrivals in the way of handy
pms are much TO be preferred for beauty to
the earlier forms. The new pins are rather
smaller than their predecessors and are of
rose gold with center set of amethyst,
topaz or almondire-the latter a rich col
ored stone between the color of the garnet
ana the amethyst.
A pretty and inexpensive new brooch is
medallion of irregular form with a
classic head in relief. The brooches are
made of white metal and are finished in
gray with a touch of faint cOlor-dull green
OF rant pink. There are four designs, rep
resentlng earth, air, fire and water, and
the price of each is but fifty cents.

Chains, brooches and ornaments of coral
are among the most favored things in their
line just now, but the coral is not the
deep red coral of ancient time. The newer
coralS are of exquisite pink shade
and the beads are big and round and
smooth. Brooches in the form of wreaths
of the round pink beads cost $3.50 and 50.
Some beautiful mosaic brooches are
shown in the jewelry cases and though they
are not of the fine workmanship or the
great value of the old fashioned mosaics
they surpass the latter in the beauty of
their designs. Some of the brooches in
which the prevailing color is blue are set
with tiny turquoises which enhance the
effectiveness of design and coloring.

The Rentz-Santley Company opened to a
good house at the Empire yesterday after
noon, and while some features of the per-
Torrance were well received, on the whole
the bill does not rise above the dull, dead
level of mediocrity. The burlesques are in
ane, without rhyme reason, giving the
performers little opportunity to good work
if they could-and most of them couldn't.
The comedy, for the most part, is anything
but funny, and the musical numbers are
decidedly tame.
In the olio one feature stands out as ex-
cellent in every particular-the wire-walk-
ing and pole-balancing turn of two Japs,
the YamamOto brothers. The Japs are
the cleverest people in their line that have
been seen at the Empire this season and
their turn does much to redeem the entire
performance. Their feats on the wire and
in the pole-balancing act are really mar
YelouS.
Charles w. Douglass, who opened the olio
with a monologue speciality, was gener-
ousy applduded, considering the fact that
his jokes were all of an ancient vintage,
while his parodies on popular songs were
but fair. Gruett and Gruett in a black
face act, afforded some genuine fun. but
their act was too long-drawn-out. The
three Connolly sisters sang and danced
acCeptably to the majority of the audience.
