BACK ID NAT URE.
HOW THE PETS AMUSED THEM SELVES IN MASTERS ABSENCE.
They Had Good Time; But the Dam age They Did Was Not Easily
 Mended in the z End.

Sometimes the writer receives a f'call" from some big city, and leaves for brief space his home in the New Hamp- shire hills, that he may preach in person ''the gospel of the open" Ah! what a relief 1t is to get back again to the coun- try-away from the nerve-racking vii bration of the elevated railroad, from the roar of the subway, from the clang- ing of trolley bells-away from the odor of smoke, of gas, and of kitchens-aWay from the slush of the streets and the death-bearing dust of the cars; back again to the pure, snow-covered hills and fields, to the sound of the wind in the pine trees, to the crystalline music of the winter birds, where we breathe tho air but once.
 Yesterday afternoon the writer alight- ed at a little New Hampshire railway station, and made his way to the rear platform, where a big, round-faced young man was skillfully curbing pair of big, powerful bay horses. which seemed anxiousenough to run away with the sleigh to which they were harnessed. It was the driver of a local stage which carries the mails, and the passengers, when there are any, to a large town, 20 miles away, and incidentally to some lit tie towns and numerous farmhouses in between. Jumped in, tucked the big. bearskin robe about me, and as the driver gave the horses their heads, the sleigh leaped forward amid a acrashing of sIeigh-bellS. For a mile or more the horses plunged along, seemingly for the very joy of rapid moving, and then as we came to long hill they reluctantly allowed themselves to be pulled in, first to trot, and finally to vigorous walk. Then 1t was that the driver turned his smiling red face to the rear, and re- marked:
 "Glad to see you, sir! Just gettin back?" The writer admitted that he was, and that he had been away for B week
 Heard anything about your bear?" Queried the driver, with chuckle.
 Since went away, you mean? No.'

CLOSED CONFERENCE AS PROTEST.
Note of Warning, Credited to Grand Duke SerRslus, May Lead to . Re- newaI of Terrorism Through
 out Ruagia.

MOSCOW, Dec. %. Grave fears pre- vail here that the resentment aroused by the czar's supplementary note. warn ing the zemstvos against discussing matters deemed outside their very Him. ited powers may result in violence. The city is excited, and any untoWard incident would quickly kindle riot.
 A banquet held on the anDiv of the Troubetzsl1oi revolution was bro ken up at 8 o'clock in the morning by order of the police because those pres ent passed resolution demanding the ballot. The Moscow zemstvo had al- ready adjourned sine die as a protest against the government warning and the return of Grand Duke Sergius, governor general of Moscow, who is held responsible for the note which may signalize renewal of terrorism.
 Among those present at the banquet were popular writers, professors of the university, mining school and the Technological institute, editors and ' Socialist workmen. M. E. Kedrine, the well known lawyer and member of the St. Petersburg municipality, presided The text of a resolution, which was carried by 766 to votes after many fervid speeches, was as follows:
 \ ''In view of the horrors of the war, which is devoid of sense, and in view also of the enormous sacrifices and ruin in which the country is being in- volved, we, representing the liberal pro- fessions and Worlxing classes, protest against the war into which the govern .rnent dragged, the, nation without con slderatfon for the opinions or interests of the Russian people, and we express our profound belief that only the na- tion itself can save Russia from her difficulties through free representatives of the people elected by secret ballot on the principle of equal rights. Our motto is Peace and Freedom {"

aTHE MONEY MAKERs.o

Not only is "The Money Makers" the English racing comedy i'll which Ida Conquest appears at Polls to- night, remarkable as a specimen of sound dramatic construction, for its bright lines and a star as clever and prepossessing as Miss Conquest, but i also for the fact that in the support ing company there are so many with interesting stage relations and histor- ies. Cyril Scott, who plays opposite the star, was a protege of Augustin naIy's and made his reputation in the musical pieces produced by the great est of all American managers. Daisy Atherton is Alice AthertOn's daugh- ter and has inherited large share of her mothers striking personality and rare good nature. Mabel Dixey is an- other with q theatrical family tree. Miss Dixey is a sister of Henry E. Dixey, the well known comedian, and not his daughter, as a great many peo- pie imagine. MT Dixey has only one daughter, Evangeline, named after the famous old burlesaue in which he made his debut as the hind legs of the heifer. Miss Evangeline, or ''Vangie," as she is known among her friends, is not on the stage and probably never will be. All of the minor parts in ''The Money Makers are played by ex-show girls, stunning beauties every one of them. The English stage man .ager, Felix Edwardes, who produced the piece, says he never saw so many pretty girls with real talent for the stage in any one company before. Prices are %, 50, 75 cents, $1 and $1.5O.

 Armeni6n RevoIutionaries Look to
 Us to Help Reform.
 BOSTON, Dec. 29-The Armenian Revolutionary federation committees in the United States of America, which has headquarters in this city, has ad- dressed letter to President Roosevelt presenting congratulations on his Ntr1- umphant election to the exalted office of the presidency of the United States and their sincere appreciation for the sympathetic reception accorded to the delegates to the catholicos of all Ar nnenians."
 The letter continues:
 Permit us, Mr. President, to plead and hope that with all legitimate means in your power you will endeavor to se- cure the much needed reforms, which consist of nothing more than safety of life and honor for the defenseless Ar menfan people who are subjected to a systematic extermination under the Turkish regime. Our people look with strong hopes to the United States as the champion of freedom, to which they owe much for their intellectual develop ment and progress and which has al- ways raised noble and disinterested protest in behalf of peoples suffering under the yoke of tyranny"

newest hats Miss Bull and her sister, being pretty girls, had little difficulty In becoming employed. Indeed, they were causing quite sensation in the town, when-along came the prince.
 He saw, and he was conquered
 A strange fancy seized the prince. He decided that without a course in millinery his education would never be complete.
 Tn vain Hahon, the private secretary Of the prince, made protests.

 AMERICAN GIRL.
TROUBLE FOR HIS GUARDIAN
Has Learned American Ways of Love- Making and Seems to Have Been Successful at the
 Game.

hiladelphia.-Prince Penkeel Eui- wah Tee is the second son of the em- peror Of Korea. His brother, the crown prince, however, is not So strong, so 1t is believed that some day Penkeel will ascend the throne
 It was for the purpose of giving the younger prince an occidental education that his father shipped him to Ameri- ca. That was three years ago. At that time Penkeel was 9 years old Like nearly all Koreans, he is small of stature. although bright and quick to learn.
 Indeed, if anything, Prince Penkeel learns too rapidly, as has been demon strated by his adventures in America. Upon his arrival the prince first made his home at the Korean legation at Washington. After that he started upon a tour of the United States.
 Greatly to the surprise, not to say chagrin, of the Korean minister, Min- hui Cho, scarcely had this tour begun before an action at law to recover a debt of $3o.0O0, alleged to have been incurred by the prince. was begun The plaintiffs were firm of Philadelphia bankers.
 The next heard of Prince Penkeel he had been shipped to the little college town of Delaware, O., and started in a school where poker chips and roulette wheels are supposed to be unknown
 Now both young women and young men attend the college in Delaware. Prince Penkeel had never heard of such thing before Indeed, in Wash ington he had met very few girls at all. He was entranced.
 Credit of the first real dent in the heart of Prince Penkeel, however, must go to Miss Clara Bull, little beauty of Cincinnati.
 Not unlike the young men of Ameri- ca and other occidental lands, it was early In the springtime that Penkeei's romantic fancy lightly turhed to thoughts of love.
 It so happened in April, 1903, that the largest millinery shop in Delaware needed two pretty girls to show of the

yAUDEVILLE.

There can no longer De any doubt about the impression which Fanny Rice and her talking dolls have made at the Jacques this week. This head line act has been applauded to the echo at it's conclusion for the last two days and the immense number of school children who are flocking to the theater in the afternoons have made the rafters ring with their delighted laughter. 1t usually requires several performances to perfect the working features of Miss Rice's act, but they were mastered in such an incredibly short time by the stage manager and his assistants that there is not hitch in the presentation. Miss Rice herself has been warmly received and her mimetfc efforts appreciated at their true value. William H. Sloan and his company have scored no less heavily than the headliner and ''The Plumber has proved to be one of the big hits of the season. He is introducing a new song "I am the Plumber which adds to the already funny business of the sketch. The Brittans, the Aliens, Adair and Dahn, Harry B. Lester

WHAT WOMEN WILL po.o

There will not be a dull moment at Polls Friday afternoon or evening when Harry Jackson's new play, What Women will Do,' is in action. The piece comes well recommended from all the larger cities where it has been this season. The play deals with clever story of every day life, in which love. sensation and adventure play an important part, wonderful stage craft is introduced, and the sen sational storm at sea in which life size boat is turned upside down in full view of the awe-stricken audience, and the leap for life from the high cliff, aqdesperate death struggle, the life saving station and many 1laairs raising effects and scenes, should give scope for the audience to remark and admit that it is without doubt most interesting play. Prices are 25, 8 and 90 cents. Matinee 15 and ,25 cents.

 Surely, there are great possibilities in half-a-dozen wild animals which are loose and have no fear of man. The writer was more than interested to know l. there was any news of the others, and encouraged his companion by an inno- cent question.
 "Of course you've heard about yer fox?" said the driver, by way of answer; 'the little fellow they call 'Sprite'?''
 The writer had heard many things about the little animal in question, but not during the last week, so he grayely shook his head.
 Well" said the driver, The went over the fields to Hersum's house, two miles, and spent the whole day trying to get at HerBum's chickens. They've got a big family down there, and they all turned out to keep him off. Hersum got his gun and was goin' to shoot him, at first, but one of the little ones told him it was yours, SO he turned in to help- keep the critter away from the hens. When it, come dinner time, they had to take turns, some of them going inside, while the others stayed out to watch the fox But he tired them all out, and got one of the hens. after all"
 The writer did not think fit to ask any more questions, but began to figure whether the article which might be writ ten concerning the nisdeeds of his half savage pests would net him enough to pay for the damage they had done. But after all, what mattered it? The sight of these beautiful creatures coming and going to and from the house which they had learned to know as home" was enough to pay ten times over, for all they cost in money and anxiety.

 A policeman turned in an alarm and a fire engine was in pursuit when the horse reached Manhattan avenue, from which to Columbus avenue there is a steep climb. The pursuing engine was useless, but two other engines, their crews taking in the situation, stopped at Columbus avenue and outfanked the horse. They had stream going when he reached them and shot 1t straight at the animal, carrying him off his feet. Then they put out the fire. James Lourie, of No. 2114 First avenue, owns the horse and wagon.
