gives the story precisely as he sees it,
and he sees these men and horses in
the flesh. Therefore he puts them on
canvas in the warm, pulsating flesh,
and you can feel them choking in the
dust the cattle raise as they cover the
trail over the plain.
OF the cattle trail painted by Han
sen, and here reproduced, E. Hough
says in His Story of the Cowboy:
'sIt lies like rope thrown idly on the
ground, abandoned by the hand that
used it. It's strands are unbraided and
have fallen apart, lying loose and for
gotten upon the soil. The wind is blow
ing dust across these disconnected
threads, and the grasses are seeking to
cover them, and the waters have in
places washed them quite away. The
frayed ends are disappearing. Soon
the entire cord will have disappeared.
The long trail of the cattle range will
then be but memory"
And so it is, although there are many
places where the trail plainly shows.
deeply cut by the feet of millions of
cattle, just like the old buffalo trails,
but soon all will disappear before ad-
vancing civilization, the plow and the
harrow. The long trail ran for more
than 1000 miles along the eastern edge
of the Rocky Mountains. 1t traversed
the vast land of Texas over the Indian
nations, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska
Wyoming and Montana, and as far
west as Utah and Nevada. as far east
as Missouri, Iowa and even Illinois, and
as far north as the British possess
sions.
And in the march of time these Han
sen pictures, like Remington's and
Maynard Dixon's. will have an addi-
tional value. They will stand, not only

VARIOUS OFFERINGS
AT LOCAL THEATERS
FOR PRESENT WEEK

1t is a question only of what opera
one prefers at the Tivoli this grand
opera season-you cannot go wrong
in the performances. Both the lyric
and dramatic casts have proved them
selves excellent-phenomen at the
price. Signorina Tettrazzini, the lead
ing lyric soprano, is a star that In
year from now one will be paying 81
to hear and not grudging cent OF
it. Signorina Berlendi, the dramatic
soprano, is an excellent actress and
fine singer and, further, eyed and dim
pied most distractingly. Pollacco, as
the two above. is already local idol,
and deservedly so. He is director
of astonishing resource, unlimited
magnetism and inspired musicianship.
Romboli and La Puma, the barytones;
Frosini and Bazelli, tenors. have also
firmly established themselves in local
favor, and there is an admirable or
chestra and an excellent chorus TO the
good. Altogether the season is ex-
traordinary and those that do not rec
'ognize the fact until it is partly gone
will deserve the regret that will be
theirs. 1t is to repeat that. there have
never DeIOre been Sucn singers, Sucn
a leader at the Tivoli.
The weeks repertoire will be as fol-
lows: Monday the theater will be
closed to give further opportunities
of rehearsal; Tuesday, Tettrazzini in
Lucia; Wednesday and Friday, Ber-
lendi in "Manon" (MasseneD, and
Thursday, Tettrazzini in La Travi-
ata." The rest of the week is still in
the hands of Pollacco and the gods
Edna Wallace Hopper in comedy will
be the novelty attraction at the Colum-
bia Theater this week. Miss Hoppers
medium is "A Country Mouse" that
has the record of a two seasons run in
London. 1t is an English comedy, the
country mouse" a country girl whose
adventures in the upper rast set form
the staple of the play. The, supporting
company of the tiny comedienne is said
to be exceptionally capable. The COM
edy will be preceded every evening by
a curtain-raiser entitled Captain jan
uary," dramatized especially for Miss
Hopper by Augustus Barrett from the
book of the name.

years, spent for the most part among

harson Macrae clung to his pipes as he
clung to his Scottish accent When he
had no human companion to converse
with, his pibroch resounded over the
waters Of the Magellan Straits.
AS a youth he left his native heath
for Argentine and reared cattle. After
a few years he found himself in possess

thousand sheep.
These animals he trekked over 1000
miles, with the aid Of a compass and

the way with only five men to assist
him, but at the end Of year of hunger
and thirst and fatigue he found him

country over $4,000 acres inextent.
After leasing this land for ten years
he sought fresh territory and trekked
over into TERRA del Fuego.
He was the first Briton to penetrate
into the country, and the natives re-
sented the intrusion. The tall Aonas
and the stunted Yaghans came in
hordes, attacked his little castle and

carefully carry with them a couple OF
pairs of tiny, delicate shoes, which, in
stead Of the ones they are wearing. they

It Was the Same Bunch.

production of one of his plays for the
benefit Of the local fire company. AS
Mr.. Hart is a native of the n%eighboring
town of Wilkesbarre the boys deter
mined to show their appreciation Of
HON talent and secured the biggest
bouquet In town for him. One of the
firemen was specially detailed to pre-
sent 1t to the young playwright at the
moment of Inspiration. Unfortunately
the guardian OF the floral tribute" fell
asleep n was in that happy condition
when Mr.. Hart was called before the
curtain. The stage manager came to
the rescue, however. and presented the
bouquet amid great applause.
Mr.. Hart had a funny story to tell.
and, laying the bouquet on a little
stand In the wings, stepped down to the
footlights to deliver the yarn to the
best advantage.
1t was at this juncture that the "spe-
cial committee of one on flowers" woke
up. Catching a glimpse of the bouquet
he sprang to his feet. and before any
one could stop him, darted forward and
presented 1T once more to the aston
ished playwright, while the audience
roared With delight.
MI. Hart paused a moment as he re-
garded the fireman and the bouquet
with slightly embarrassed feelings.
Then recovering himself. said with a
smile:
Il am doubly grateful for this re-
ish this bouquet. and the other one as
fragrant mementos of my visit to
Pittston."
"Ah, g,wan!" shouted a small boy in
the gallery. There nin't no other. It'a
