DOWN THE PIKE.

One of the most handsomely equipped productions of the year is promised in the big musical comedy Down the Pike" which comes to the New Haven Theatre for an engage ment of three nightes and Saturday matinee, commencing on Thursday night, November 23. E. D. Stair, who directs the tour, has provided a scenic and electrical feature without regard to cost, and the costumes are the richest ever seen. The result is that this at- traction has made splendid success and is entitled to "a place in. the front rank. The fact that Johnny and Emma Ray head the cast also gives assurance of full supply of side -split- ting doings, and the musical numbers are described as being tuneful and mo. lodious. The company numbers fifty people,, including a large chorus cons tingent of geauiful show girls.
 The advance sale. of seats opens on Monday.

HEROES OF THE DRIVE" "
Great Perils They Encounter in Break
 ing Log Jams.

Great Perils They Encounter in Break ing Log Jams.
 Among the occupations which are brimful of danger, and In which mer. talks their lives in their hands, is "log 1 driving" It is a work without glory, | yet it is as dangerous as that of the | fireman, and, one is tempted to say, as l that of the seacoast life savers. Ger tainly in the Adirondacks, Maine, Mich igan, Canada andwherever 1t is carried or each year large number of lives are lost, considering the few men em- ployed. It is an employment in which the mans. safety depends on his skill, coolness and quickness in preceiving what to do at the right time
 The chief danger isi the breaking of log jams in mid-stream of a rocky rapid. The logs always pile up against the rocks. that are not covered by the flood and form long pile two or three rods wide, anywhere from one to thirty rods long, and perhaps six or eight logs deep Thus a jam may contain five thousand or ten thousand logs. To break a jam of this kind the "boss' sends or takes out three or four of the best men in the log driving crew. These experts are men known as white wat CT men," because of their ability to ride standing up on a log through wat CT that is splashing and foaming over rocks. They land at the upstream end of the jam, where one of the men re- mains with the boat, while the others go to the lower end of the jam to pick away, with teir peaveys, or levers, the logs close to the rock against which the jam rests. They seek for the "key log,''. which, when pried out, starts the jam moving so that 1t either hangs up" again or breaks to pieces. When the men see that it is really, breaking they run over the heaving and bound ing tangle of logs to the boat at the head of the jam. A slip or a misstep means a fall between the grinding and tossing logs. The logs may become so separated that it is impossible to reach
 the boat. If this hapens the white water man. must make good his name | by making his way to shore without getting wet, or maybe killed. Perhaps the floating timber spreads apart to | Such an extent that ne IS compelled to stick to a single log, and here it is that
 he bestshows his ability as a log driver He balances on the upstream. end of
 the log, steadies himself upon his spike
 shoes and steers clear of the rocks be-
 fore him. The men on shore stop tc
 watch. He may ride to safety and he 1 may not.
 Some years ago, on the West Canada 1 Creek, in the Adirondacks, foreman
 of a log driving crew, who would neve,
 send his men where he did not dare gt
 himself, went out with two volunteer
 to break a jam in exceedingly swif
 and rough water With some difficult!
 they reached the pile of logs, and afte
 a time succeeded In starting them go
 ing. The logs started much faster thai I they expected, and were soon scaterel

MARIE wAINWRTGHT.

Marie Wainwright, the celebrated Shakespearean actress, at the Hype- rion theater next Thursday night, plays the part of the sharp7tongued but kindly hearted Aunt Margaret, in the ''Prodigal Son." a character well remembered by all readers of MT. Hall Caine's novel. Marie Wainwright's name is one that adds notable strength to any cast with which 1t may be con nected, and '"phe Prodiga1 Son" cast is filled with big and famous people. including such conspicuous people as Edward Morgan, the creator of John Storm in 'gThe Christian" and of David Rossi in "The Eternal City," w..

QUALIFIED.

Two friends started out in life, each of them resolved to pursue his own Ideal.
 And one of them went out to see the world, and the other became a hermit. After many years them met again. And the ehmit said: There is only one thing that am very curious about e-women. Have you met any?'
 e1ave I met any!" exclaimed the other, smiling. "Why, women have been my speciality
 Are they vain?"
 .sVery.."
 "Are they selfsh?"
 .sVery."
 Are the inquisitive?"
 Dear me, yes!"
 SIS it true they talk continuously? "Oh, yes.''
 .Are they extravagant?" t'Yes, enough to suit any taste." Have they any good points," ''Wel1, should say they had" 'tWhat are they?"
 'sWell, they can be unselfish' tIndeed!"
 ..And they can hold their tongues when the object warrants it.' HYou don't say"
 '''And they can save, if they love enough"
 How interesting!"
 .'And they are good nurses. In fact they differ widely in their capabilities. They are constant and inconsistent, ackle and true, small and large, char itable and unchariable, good, bad, and indifferent"
 The hermit grasped his companions hand eagerly.
 My friend" he said, "this is all very wonderful to me-you knowledge of woman is evidently extensive. And now tell me how many of them you have lived with"
 And the friend replied:

POli's New Theater.

The seat sale for the opening per- formance at Polls new theater starts this moring at o'clock.
 From present indications a crowded house will greet MT. and Mrs. sidney Drew in their splendid one-act play, 'Fhe Yellow Dragon which has been one Of the most conspicuous successes American vaudeville has known.
 MT. Drew is by right of heritage alone one of the cleverest players in the mimic world, and the triumphs he has won with the little play were only to be expected of a man of his fam fly.
 He is the son of MT. John Drew ST., whose Mrs. Malaprop' in "The Ri- vals' is one of the most dearly treas ured memories of the American stage, the brother of John Drew, who appears at Polls tonight, and the uncle of Ethel John and Lionel Barrymore,
 Before he joined the ranks of the vaudevillians his reputation as a come dian was not less than his brothers and he is to-day reckoned one of the genuine artists in variety. Mrs. Drew is also possessed of az historic pedi" gree, her father, Mckee Rankin, being one of the best known of rapidly dis appearing actor-manager class. "Tht Yellow Dragon" has dramatic intensi- 1 ty of an unusual quality, and offers both the leading players full scope fol l their talent.
