ApRE.HIsTo7!c PROFESSION.

In recent years men have been hha-
ing out great deal about the people
of the Ssone Age Scientists have dls-
covered how to find the graves and
buried houses Of the humans OF that
far.oH time. and now we have pretty
acuyate histories of the daily life OF
these primitive men and women, VINO
lived with the cave bear and the mann
moth.
Among other discoveries that have
been made recently is the curious one
that despite the low stage of civillZa-
tion at that time, the trader had be-
gun to connect all the tribes OF Eu-
rome nv means of his travel in search
Of business.
BY the amber pieces and other rem
rants that are found in the ruins OF
the villages of the Stone Age, it is
clear that these ancient paddlers
crossed the whole of Europe in many
different directions, going from the
North sea clear to the Mediterranean
and carrying articles even from
Egypt and Babylon into the rude
dwellings of the Europeans who were
still dressed in the skins of animals
then.
Modern discoveries have found even

MY Honeysuckle Girl" and Years
Touch Not the Heart" Perhaps the
most soulful of al the selections, how
ever, is Katie, My Southern Rose,
which appealed most pathetically to
the southern audience at last nights
performance.
The special scenery and appropriate
costumes of we olden tyma" furnish
q. most striking setting to the play,
and no doubt added much to the she
cess of the performance The hoop
skirts and the pretty faces did not
match. for the present generation can
not be brought to realization OF such
a com mbination; but they proved
striking means of adding to the sue
cess of the comical side of the play.
Il is indeed a novelty-and the blase
American public is ever looking for
novelties. When the history of this
seasons amusements is written, 1t
would be incomplete without most
liberal mention of last nights play.
And last nights play must be con-
sidered a success.

BEGGARS OF THE WORLD.
Wherever there are men there are

Wherever there are men there are
Degsers. Every nation has its mendt-
cants, and, although some peop'.s hold
them to scorn, there are Others who
venerate them and recognize their
business as legitimate.
Strangely, the greatest nation of
beggars in the world adjoins that
which has, perhaps, the smallest, Or
one of the smallest, percentages OF
Italy and Switzerland
That beggary is a result of indol-
ence is shown by the fact that the peo-
pie CT every warm climate are over
run with mendicants. Eeynt India.
and italy are the worst examples.
Among civilized nations hesgary has
taken on flrm of criminality The
professional beggar begs, not for want
or privation. He has reduced his
Whines for help to fine art which
yields riches in many cases
Werever charity and pity exist there
VII be found bcggary. The people
with whom the fight for existence is
bitter and productive of selfishness
have few who beg. while wealth and
luxury breed horues OF parasites who
suAsist upon the kindness of those
who have to give.
The most picturesque beggar in the
world, perh.ns holds place of power
and big pull" at Loong Wah, in
China Covered from head to foot

AMUSE M ENTS.

LARGEST Crowd Of the Season.

"When Johnny Comes Marching
Home" a. the Elks last night, the
largest crowd of the season greeted
the popular and sparkling opera pre-
sented to them. The house was crowd
ed. and Manager Drake had out the
S. r. O. sign long before the curtain
rose.
The success of every play must be
judged, not by individual likes and
dislikes, but by the reception accorded
it by the public generally. If we take
it must be admitted without equivoca-
ton that When Johnny Comes March
ing Home" as presented at the Elks
last night, was most decided success.
There are those who do not like comic
opera even in it's best presentation.
It mast be admitted that the majority
of Americans do like it, and do not
stint themselves in their patronage of
this class of amusement. There have
been better comic operas than when
Johnny Comes Marching Home" Per-
haps there have been better ones in
Pine Bluff. But it is seldom that one
has ever been accorded more hearty
welcome than this one, and it is rare
indeed that one has ever received
more generous patronage and liberal
applause.
But one fault can be found with
the play as a whole-unless one were
inclined to be hypercritical indeed
and this is not admissible in town
the size of Pine Bluff unless it is on
extraordinary occasions-and that was
the fact that there was too much of
sameness throughout the program.
The large corps of players had been
thoroughly drilled in their parts-that
was evident. They did their parts
well-that was equally evident. 1t
would even appear that not one of
them was not adapted to the comic
opera stage But the play itself is
faulty in the one respect mentioned.
The applause given the play last
night was generous in the extreme
The musical numbers especially came
in for most marked demonstration
on the part of the auditors. "My
Own United States" appealed most ell
oquently to the spirit Of patriotism
especially prevalent in the southland,
and was marred only by the sentiment
expressed when the old negro slave
was presented with a thousand dollars
in Confederate money" which was
mot worth ten cents on the dollar"
This kind of sentiment has never
found favor in the south, and wi not
for many a long year to come.
Other songs of a like patriotism
called forth the applause of the audi
ence, such as Just Marry the Man

A RACE AGAINST DEATH.

explosion, and number Of men were
badly injured. The doctor at Thermo-
polls was asked by telegraph if he
would come and relieve the suffering
of the wounded He instantly respond
ed:
Il am coming as rapidly as can
get there"
The road from Thermopolis to Nee
teetsee is not paved-nOt even with
good intentions. It is a rough trail
around precipitous cliffs and through
6eep winding canyons. The only way
te go is by horseback and the journey
requires two days

But men were suffering-dying per
haps.
Happily, says the Salt Lake Her
aid, which tells the story, the doctor
arrived in time to relieve the dis
tress.
It was a wild ride against death.
And heroism won it.

they may save some.
