TOO MANY RED BELLS.
Theatrical Managers Great Idea

Clever ideas are sometimes expen-
sive things to have" said Seth C.
Bennett, who was formerly in the
comic opera business, being the orig
inator of the Bennett and Moulton
Opera company of juvenile "Pinafore"
fame. 1T was a clever idea that once
cost me $4,000 at least. How much
more / don't like to think. This is
how it happened. We had been keep

opera The Bells of Corneville.
Searle. who was then the big theatri-
cal printer in Boston, was getting out
the paper for us.
ITO Searle l said, Give us nothing
but paper with red bells on it, and in
white letters on the bells the name
of the opera 1t was all done on half
sheets, so that on twenty-fOur sheet
stand there would be fOrty-eight red
bells that you could see two blocks
away. He agreed with me that it was
a great idea a stroke of genius.

Comrades in Quarrel.

President Roosevelt keeps rather
close track of the men who served in
his regiment of rough riders. He
sreets them all effusively when they
come to Washington and has helped
many of them out of trouble. Not
long ago Major Llewellyn of the rough
riders. who now lives in New Mexico
was at the white house. The presi-
dent was talking over old times with
him. by the way" the president
said. where is our old friend com

Instead of an abstra cted- old man and

lance of less than 500 miles between
the vessel and the Pole
The advantages of the route and
plan chosen by Peary are a fixed base
100 miles nearer the Pole than on any
other route; more rigid ice pack to
travel over and a route well known to
him for the return or retreat.
The factors working for his success
are suitable ship (Which he says he
has never had before); his long per-
sonal experience and his thorough ac-
cuaintance with and ability to control
and utilize the Eskimos.
In the pamphlet or prospectus is
given diagrammatic scale showing
the average length of Peary's sledge
journeys in other trials and their rela-
tive length as compared with those of
other explorers.
In conclusion the words of President
Roosevelt are quoted:

Now listen to a tiger tale,
The tiger is a beast
Who would consider a wee boy
Or girl or horse a feast
He's just cat grown awful big.
He wears striped skin.
A cat is not tiger skin.
But it's a tigers kin .
There are so many tiger skins
Made up in rugs. L VOW
1 think the jungle must be full
OF skinless tigers now.
The tiger has two feet behind
And also two before.
Most all the rest is tooth and lungs
You ought to hear him roar.
He's n nocturnal marauder
With black bars on his hide
And yellow bars He hunts by night.
And woe. ah. woe betide
Poor lucklesS man, He goes to sleep
Beneath the twinkling stars.
The tiger carries him away;
He wakes behind the bars.

There Is a strong sentiment among
