BLUE.RlBBON THEATER GOER.
New York Tanner Has an Astonishing
Record for Attendance.

George Hahn, rich tanner, with Of
fees at 33 Spruce street, New YORK
City, has been awarded the blue rib
bon for attedance at the theaters dur
ing the season just ended. Mr.. Hahn
Is the champion theater-goer Of the
year-a committee from the Theatri-
cal Treasurers' Associa ton has so de-
cided, according to the New York Tel
egraph.
All previous records for calls at the
box office have been totally eclipsed by
the smiling, good natured Hahn whose
record Is appalling. 1t shows that he
has played musical pieces as favorltes,
although he has fondness for the
legitimate, and Is not averse to giving
fair share Of his patronage to Shake
speare. During the season he paid for
400 seats and fifty boxes at Weber's
Music Hall alone. The moat careful
research shows that he contributed the
price Of more than 300 tickets TO Lew
Fields theater and until the Casino was
closed by fire, he was piling up big
total at that house.
During the three weeks Of the South
ern- Marlowe engagement AT the Nhlch-
erbocker Hahn purchased eighteen
pairs Of seats and was present hlmSe.r
on six occasions. ''Mrs. LetfiEgwells
Boots Hahn saw fourteen times, Dut
his personal account book shows tnat
he expended S1OS for tickets at 'he
I,yceum Theater during the run or
the piece.
"Fantana" also has proved magnet
to this patron Of musical comedy. lie
lost track Of his attendance AFTER the
first three months Of the run, but be-
lieves he had dropped into the Lyric
at least twenty times within that pc
Rod
Hahn's right to the championship
belt was discovered after somewhat
heated argument at the last regular
meeting Of the Press Agents Associa-
ton regarding the attractive qualities
of the respective attractions represent
ed by those present.
The discussion grew warmer ana
finally it was decided to leave the
award Of the championship to a com
mittee Of theater treasurers. This COM
mittee has completed its Investigations
and declares that Hahn's record seems
so overwhelming that they have de-
cided to vote him the blue ribbon.
In many instances Hahn could not
personally use the tickets purchased by
him and they were given to friends
and employees. He admitted over the
telephone to a member Of the commit
tee that he had been absent from the
theater only twice during the season,
and that on those occasions he was
detained elsewhere by pressing busl-
ness engagements.

To Serve Ice Cream,

A novel way of serving lee cream
at ceremonious luncheon or dinner. IS
in jelly. Use the prepared fruit jelly
which comes in powder, molding it In
teacups or ramequins half filed,
using as many as there will be guests,
with three or four extra for emergen-
cies. When hard turn the jelly out
on the plate it is TO be served from,
and with a dessert spoon dipped in hot
water, remove the center, leaving a
thick transparent shell into which TN =
ice cream is put when it is time for
serving If white cream Is to be
used. have pink jelly. or if colorcd
cream is chosen. have the jelly amber
colored lemon. Candied cherries or
violets on top will add an additiona,
artistic touch to this very attractive
manner of serving Ice or ice cream.

.JAGUAR AND ALLIGATOR.



The most interesting thing about
crocodiles and alligatOrs, declares the
author of The Romance of the Ami
NAL World" is the way they get thelr
food This they do mostly, and by
preference. in the water; but they have
also habit of lying in wait upon the
mud Of river banks until some animal
approaches sufficiently near to be with
! in their reach.
Living sunk in the mud, and of the
color of mud themselves, they may
we'll be mistaken for a log. a Wild
mig. or some other animal fond or
roofing in the mud, sees the long,
shameless object, but Is not disturbed
nv If as he roots happily among the
reed beds He looks up suddenly, to
6nd that the log has moved. One end
of If. the longest, thinnest end, the
fail is gliding away in curve; but
like an arrow loosed, it flies back and
meets the body of the pig with tre-
mendous sidewlse blow, and the poor
pig falls in a heap.
With a sudden, swift rush the alli-
GATOR is upon him, and seizing the body
bv the skin, which it holds puckered
up between its front teeth, 1t shakes
II furiously. as a terrier would a rat,
and then half drags, half pushes 1t
hefore if as it crawls through the mud
to the waters edge.
There is only one wild animal. says
the author. that will purposely attack
On alligator. and that is the jaguar of
South America. The jaguar springs
on the back of the alligator, and with
all his might tears at the roots of
the reptiles tail. This. possibly. Is
with the idea Of paralyZing that mem
har and thus rendering it Incapable
Of those mighty sweeps from side to
side which are more to be feared than
oven the great armed jaws.
The fear Of both these weapons may
deter the jaguar from clawing the
throat of the saurian, for were he %
no shaken off I'm the latter struggles,
no would be more exposed to either
than if he fell farther back.
Instances of the jaguar's success in
destroying the alligator are given ty
various observers.

CAR WHEELS AND CURVES.
Scientific American Answers Questions
Regarding Them.

Regarding Them.
One Of the questions from corre-
spondents that comes to this office
with persistent reiteratlon is that Of
the possibility of one or the other OF
the pair of wheels on railroad axle,
in passing around the curve, slipping
ON the rail over which 1t is rolling,
while the other wheel does not slip
on it's rail, says the Scientific Ameri-
can. Although we have frequently eX-
planned how this condition is possible,
the question is one that evidently
continues to puzzle great many
peOple-in which respect it Is first
cousin to that other much-de-
bated fact, that the portion Of
the periphery of rolling cart
wheel that is near the ground Is NOV
ing more slowly with relation to the
earth than Is the rest Of the periphery.
In the case Of the two wheels on any
axle Of a railroad or trolley car that
Is passing around a curve it is evident
that in a given length, say 100 feet Of
lI1t CuIN t, GU VII Il me ~ 3
centrally between the two rails. the
inner rail will be shorter than the
outer rail, and this for the reason that
it Is struck to a radius that Is about
four and three-quarters feet shorter.
Now, when a pair Of wheels passes
around the curve it follows that, be-
cause Of the difference in length Of
the two rails, either the inner wheel
must slip backward on the inner rail
or the outer wheel slip forward on the
outer rail, for the two wheels, being
fixed on the same axle, move at the
same perlpheral speed over different
lengths Of rail in the same time.
1t is probable that the excessive
wear Of the rails on curves Is due
chiefly to the slipping Of the wheels.
Not long ago some remarkable facts
on rail wear on curves were brought
out in the course Of a paper read be-
fore the New England Street Railway
Club by the roadmaster Of the Boston
elevated road. The road IS exceeding
" crooked, over 40 per cent OF the line
consisting Of curves, many Of which
are very sharp. There are eighteen Of
less than 100-fOot radius and sixteen
others with a radius Of less than $50
feet. On the sharpest curve. which Is
Of only S2-foot radius and where it Is
claimed that the traffic Is heavier than
that on any other steam or heavy cleo
trio railroad. the life Of ordinary steel
rails averages only forty-four days, the
head Of the rail wearing down from
O.GO to OF Of an inch in that time.
The great Inconvenience caused by the
| constantly recurring repairs led the
company to experiment with hardened
steel rails and when some nickel steel
rails were put in on the curves the
wear was reduced TO 053 of an inch
in 2Of days. \ manganese steel rail
is now being used with good results
and the wear Of these is only about 33
per cent as rapid as that OF the nickel
steel rail and about G per cent rs rapid
as that Of the carbon steel rails.

Homer worked bravely, but how
tired he did get! You see, he was very
little, and even laborers much older
get tired Of their work sometimes. But
he kept manfully at it.
At night Homer sat on the gate
post, waiting for his father, and proud
ly led him to the woodshed to see the
neat pile Of kindlings
The work is certainly we'll done,'
said Mr.. Barber. II will pay you
promptly, as soon as you send in your

Bill? What's that?" asked Homer
puzzled.

planned father. ito present a bill, q

We must be busness-like, of course
Homer was a trtle disappointed, fol-
he had expected his wages at once
But still hopeful, he asked his father
to explain a little; and then he was
hard at work again, this time with
pencil and paper.
At the end of fifteen minutes he pre-
sented this bill
Mr.. A. b. Barber, Dear Sir,
You O me II cents for carrying
wood Yours with love, HOMER.
This BILL" said father, "is not ex-
actly like others that | have seen, but
there is something about it that l like,
after all"'
The bill, passed round at the supper
table, seemed to please everybody. In
deed, grandma smiled and smiled until
she had to wipe away tear!
Homer's eyes were sparkling. Father
counted out seventeen cents-one dime
and seven shining new pennies-and
laid them on the table.
Twill you kindly write me out re-
ceipt for this money, Homer" he said.

mer. little tired of ''the laws delay.
"A receipt is written statement
that you have received your money. 1t
will insure me against having to pay
this bill a second time said Mr.. Bar
ber. gravely.
Again Homer toiled over a pencil
and sheet Of paper, until he finished
this receipt:
Dear Father,

HOMER.
Don't you think" asked mother, in
a low voice, that we ought to correct
the spelling?"
NO" said father quickly. HE will
learn to spell soon enough, and | In
tend to keep these papers just as he
wrote them. There is more in them
than the spelling.
And he did keep them. Just few
day ago Homer. now grown-up bIsi-
ness man, with boys and girls Of his
own, came to visit his father and
mother. And father, now white
haired old gentleman, generally called
grandpa" nowadays, opened drawer
in his desk, and took out that very

kept, oh. ever so many years. The
papers were yellow with age. He told

money.-Youth's Companion.

FOURTH AT PARMA
The Day Observed BY Those
Who Remained at Home
In q Pleasing Manner.

The Fourth was passed by the
citizens of Parma very quietly
and very pleasantly. Several
Parmaites took advantage OF
the special trains and spent the
day at Boise and Nampa, but
the great majority stayed at
home and enjoyed the entertain
lnents arranged by the Parma
Gun Club, which consisted OF a
shoot in the forenoon, a ball
game in the afternoon and a ball
at night.
In the Club shoot w. A. Cromer
