In a charming editorial entitled
*'The Voices of the Woods" Max Bar
Der invites us to take to the woods
for rest and refreshing shades during
these summer days. In this summer
dream of the beauties of the wood
land Mr. Barber says:
At this season of the year. in par
ticular, the woods are full of great,
mystic soul-songs. A few months ago
we had nature breaking in song ard
we called the new burst of music
Spring. We have come now to the
vital beauty of the summer. with all
its dazzling pageant of life. The
shimmering glare of the sun makes
life uncomfortable in the houses and
cities. Listen to the voices of the
woods. The dainty flowers, the shady
dells the spicy whispers Of the winds.
the musical ripple of the brooks, and
the uuivering notes of the birds, all
invite you to the woods. In all the
glens and woodways there is re-
poseful splendor utterly unknown to
the city.

For pasteur Treatment.

Providence, Il. l., Dec. 13.-That the
appalling epidemic of rabies which has
swept over this section of the state
during the past few months is not
dying out. but is still as dangerous
is shown by the fact that complaints
Of dog bites are being made daily
throughout the city and that applica-
tons for Pasteur treatment at the
Rhode Island hospital are increasing.
An examination of the records at the
office of the superintendent of health
shows that there have been three
deaths from hydrophobia. contracte I
through bites from infected animals;
81 persons have been under treatment
for the cure Of the dread malady, one
Of whom is numbered among the dead
and there have been 1863 cases of per-
sons bitten by animals in this city.
Thirty-seven of the rabies patients
were sent to the Pasteur Institute in
New York City, four received the
treatment in their own homes in this
city and 10 others have been received
for treatment at the special department
of the Rhode Island hospital.

AMUSEM EN!S.
Dot KarrolI.

One probably could count the really
popular low-priced repertoire cOmpa-
mics which visit this city on the fin
gers of one hand. Some are popular
because they have been coming here
for 4 number of years: Othrs are popu-
lar through judciouS and persistent
advertising and still others are popu-
lar because of their merit. 1t would be
unfair perhaps to mention any Of those
in the two first classes. but il seems
only fair to state that Dot Karrol and
Ecr comedy company have Il place in
tie last group. Miss karrol is not the
Mole thing herself. though she is the
leading spirit Of the organization. but
she also has 4 splendid company to
back her up.
The speciality. which has grown to
be 50 important 4 part of the roper
toirc companys attractions. has been
given unusual atatentiOn. The Bedcll
Brothers, in Il physical development
and tumbling turn cannot be beaten.
They are worth the price Of admission
to ore who is interested in physical
culture. Waldo Whipple is q comedian
and dancer of merit. Harry Nickery
has baritone voice that is worth
hearing. BABY Leona is quite an attrac-
ton for those who enjoy child's ef.
forts behind the footlights.
The piece last night was "Only 4
Country Girl" with it's story of stoler
fortune. revenge and then recovery by

TRAVELLER TELLS
OF BIG SNOW
In Las Vegas-George Spence, Who
Has Unique Way Of Making a
Living, Visits Santa Fe.

Something new in town. George
Spence, of Nashville Tennessee, who
is on his way to the City of Mexico
was today on the south side of the
Plaza reproducing newspaper pictures.
The work is done with fluid, two
blotters and a smooth article with
which to rub the fluid in. Most any
common picture from a newspaper
can be taken and reproduced on a
handkerchief or any other white cloth.
Mr.. Spence leaves tonight for Albu.
querque and Ell Paso.
He was in Las Vegas yesterday and
had the following to say concerning
the snow storm in the Meadow City:
81 was in Ration yesterday morning
EN- route to Las Vegas, in company
with a resident of the latter city. This
man told me that there would be snow
in Las Vegas by eleven o'clock; it
came by nine and fell in great sheets
| never saw anything like it; limbs on
tees in the Plaza in Las Vegas, with
diameter of at least eight inches
were snapped off at the trunks of the
trees on account of the weight of the
snow. Telephone pores with an ordi
nary amount of wires were broken off
at the ground, the snow becoming too
heavy. It never happened before in
that city and hard work is being done
to repair wires"
