"a Thoroughbred Tramp" is the
attraction at the New Grand Nov. 20.
This is a comedy drama by Elmer
Walters, and it hes been a continued
success since its first production. The
piece is redolent with the humorous
adventures Of a gentleman hobo, yet
there are many strong dramatic
situations.
Col. S. j. Houston is showing plans
Of a new two story brick livery stable
which he is expecting to build on a
lot recently purchased by him across
the street in front Of the stable
recently purchased by Zach Wright
and now occupied by W. P. Cole.
The proposed building is to be 40 by
rs feet with corner entrance on 18th
street. Mr.. Wright is expecting
convert the old stable into a mule
aud feed barn. W. P. Cole is to rent
the new stable.
The worlds supply Of sheep Is
rapidly diminishing In ten years
there has been q decrease of nearly
Y 900, 900, or pretty close to one
seventh of all the flocks OF the earth.
It appears that the higher the ciViliza-
tlOn the fewer the sheep. Great
grazing lands from the extreme end OF
South America to the plains of Russia
which one pastured great hocks OF
sheep, are gradually being turned
over 10 agriculture. In Canada the
number Of sheep is steadily falling.
Germany, according to the American
Wool Reporter, has now but 10, 0OO, 900,
where half a century ago 1t had three
times that. In India the locks have
lost a seventh in eleven years, while in
Spqiu, which Is the home of the finest
heeces in the world, they lost a fifth
IN a brief eight years. Nearly one
seventh Of the entire supply of sheep
Is in Russia, but they are of an inferior
breed, and the wool IS not 10 demand

Machinery is helping genius.
es do a lot of work in turning out
fine arts for the worlds consump-
ton. The "mechanical sculptor"
is a case in point. 1t works on the
principle of the American auto
matte turning lathe, reproducing
absolutely the outlines of any
pattern placed in it. The mechan.
ical sculptor turns a block of mar
BILE fresh from the quarry into a
statue in an amazingly short
time. The operator passes a

copied, while a chisel at the other
end of the machine whites off the

EXTREME Of Courtesy.

IN Java the European "resi-
dent" of a government station is
a very important parsonage, to
whom great homage is rendered
by the natives. A story is told Of
one resident who was thrown out
of his dog cart while descending
a hill. He had barely recovered
from the stunning fall when he
caught sight of his secretary
who had been following in his own
carriage-coming bounding down
the steep road like a big india-rub-
Der ball, rolling over and over in
the dust. "Hello, have you been
upset, tOo?" asked the resident,
mo, resident" sputtered the fat
little secretary, scrambling to his
feet again, "but l thought if the
resident leaps, l leap, too"

They Went Prepared.

When a girl goes on a visit she
never can tell what will happen
and is prepared for any emer-
gency. Two AtchisOn girls went
to Leavenworth for the day. This
is what they took with them:
Two dresses apiece, besides the
one they wore, a shirtwaist each,
a pair of shoes each besides the
one they wore, and each girl took
a complete suit of lingerie, besides
the one she wore. They took six
handkerchiefs each; two pairs Of
gloves each, two stamped envel.

IN THE UPPER BROADWAY.
The Only Thoroughfare in New York
Where Business and Sociability
Meet in Friendship.

There is no other street in New
York like Upper Broadway, still
called by the early settlers the
Boulevard. 1t is free from con.
gestion. All the way up from
Seventy-secOnd street to the rise
that leads to Harlem Heights
known to the new generation as
Columbia Heights-there are the
center strips of green, and when
the weather man has done his
duty one may see a vast eXpanse
of blue above.
In the beginning it was the in
tentiOn to make this boulevard
tie real thing. 1t was expected
hat it would be a thoroughfare of
hcmes, a driveway for fashionable
cluipages and a promenade. It
vas to become a cOncourse.
Then something happened. The
hOme-seekers went two blocks to
the west. Shops were set up
here and there in the Boulevard.
Then came cafes, and apartment
hotels crowded in and were built
skywaId.
When the subway people Gecid.
ed that they needed the under part
of the thoroughfare the name of
the street was changed. The
Boulevard" was dropped. Broad.
way was substituted. Custom
called it Upper Broadway.
When the shops and cafes and
apartment hotels began crowding
IN, apartment houses followed.
You will see things if you stand
or walk in Upper Broadway in the
evening that you won't see in any
other part of Manhattan. Under
the apartment houses are stores.
They are attractive to peep into.
They have the cleanliness and
freshness of quiet cities like Utica
and Syracuse and Rochester.
In front of these buildings are
big shade trees. They are remind,
ers of what the Boulevard was
to have been. Here, in the sum
mer evenings, YOU will find chairs
or lawn benches.
The storekeeper has placed
them there for the benefit of his
customers. Some of the latter live
IN the apartments above. Some
live around the corner.
These customers come out in
the evening with their families.
They sit in front of the open doors
of the stores. The men smoke.
The women form groups and chat.
Sometimes the boss of the store.
comes out coatless. He may stand.
in his open door and have a talk.
with his customers across tile
sidewalk.
The stores do not close at six or
seven or eight. They are open as
long as the customers sit about
the entrance. MOI for business
necessarily, but for sociability.
There are no long lines of pedes-
trians, no hurry, no shouting.
That restlessness so conspicuous
all over town eIsewherei is not seen
in Upper Broadway.
Even the clerks of the little
shops sit outside in the evening
on camp chairs. If a customer
comes along there is no rush to
get his money.
But they shouldn't have called
it Upper Broadway" say the PEG
pie. "There is nothing about il
to suggest Broadway"

LoLoS ARE HORNED PEOPLE
Oriental Race Has Many Traditions
and Customs Which They
Consider Sacred.

Adjoining TIE ChlneSe prefeG
ture of CHEN. hang is a deep gull.
ly barred by a river which no Chi.
naman is permitted to pass unit.
lhc finds bail for his good conduct
while ia LolOdom.
The LOlOS are a slim, well-made,
muscular race with oval reddish
brown faces, high cheek bones and
pointed chins from which the
beard has been carefully plucked.
They are far taller than the Chi
nese and indeed than any Euro
pean race. but their marked pecul-
iarity is the horn. Every male
adult gathers his hair in a knot
over his forehead, and then twists
Dit up in a cotton cloth so that it
resembles the horn of a unicorn.
This horn is considered sacred,
and even if a LOlO settles in Chi,
nese territory and grows a pigtail
he still preserves his horn. The
.LolO mans principal garment is 4
wide sleeveless mantle of red or
back felt tied about the neck and
descending almost to the heels.
The trousers are of Chinese cot
ton with felt bandages. No shoes
are worn, but a conical hat of WOW
en- bamboo covered with felt fur
nishes a head covering as well as
an umbrella.
The Chinese divide the Lolos
into two classes, which they call,
respectively, BLACK Bones" and
"White Bones" the first being the
mobiles and the latter their vassals
and retainers. There is also a
third class of captive Chinese and
their descendants, called "Wat-
zu,' practically slaves, who are
tattooed on the forehead with the
mark Of their tribe.
The Lolos never marry exceptin
their own tribes, captive Chinese
women being given to their bonds
men. The marriage of a Black
Bone is a time Of great festivities
and many banquets. The be-
trOthal is celebrated and ratified
by the present of the husband to
the brides family of a pig and
three vessels of wine.
On the wedding morn the bride
is richly dressed with many orna-
ments. She is expected to weep
p~rOfusely whether she feels so in
olined or not. In the midst of her
tears the grOom's relatives and
friends dash in, seize the bride,
the best man carries her out Of
doors on his shoulders, she is
clapped on a horse and hurried off
to her new home, Here she finds
horses, cattle and sheep, provided
by the groom's family, while her
own people send clothes, orna-
ments and corn.
4 Women occupy a high position
among the Lolos, and a woman
chief is not unknown among the
tribes. The birth of a girl is more
highly esteemed than that of a
boy. which is somewhat strange
among oriental people. The wom-
en- take part in battle, but are not
assailed by the male warriors I'M
less they use some form of cutting
weapon. The LOlOs do not use
firearms, but %crOssbOws and "a
foot spears, headed with spikes
I'VE or six inches long. They never
kill anyone who submits and of.
fers to provide a ransom, nor dc
they make captives of old persons.
but young men and women, cattle
and salt they carry off wholesale
and II resistance is offered they
destroy all the growing crops.
