DAVID PROCTOR
In "The Message From Mars"

VT thV VtSSSoSC TiStti "oI ..
dream that comes to a gentleman
of wealth and leisure residing In
London. He pretends to be some
thing of scientist and is interest
ed in astronomy. He has read
much upon the subject of the
planet Mars, and while engrossed
in his reading he falls asleep, when
a messenger from Mars comes to
his house and enters upon his task
of reforming the selfish English
man. The messenger enters upon
his heroic task. but it is not until
the beginning of the third act that
the selfish and egotistical Horace
Parker-that being the name of the
characters brought to a full real
ization of his undesirable position
in society, and the manner in
which he is held by his neighbors.
The company is headed by David
Proctor, a new star to this sec
ton of the country. AS is well
known, "A Message From Mars" is
a clean, wholesome play, rejecting
those virtues in life that contribute
toward making good men and
women. Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
says it Is the greatest play that
was ever presented in America.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligenccr.
Eli Smith Is credited with having
saved the lives of twenty-five men
at Sheep Camp in the spring OF
1898 at the time of the great snow
slide on the Dyea trail. 1t will
be recalled that sixty-three men
were killed by the slide. most OF them
s~uffocating before rescuers could reach
them. Smith was on the trail several
miles below the slide. He came VI
three-quarters OF an hour after the
tragedy and found the survivors fran
tically trying to dig the victims out.
Give me tina stick" said Smith to a
man who had a fiat lathlike piece of
wood in his hand.
The stick was turned over to Smith,
who Immediately whitfield the end SO
that he could insert 1t In his mouth and
| grasp it firmly with his teeth. Then he
thrust the stick In the snow and held
the end in his mouth, apparently listen
ing. He repeated the operation at sew.
eral points in the slide. Finally he
shouted:
Come! Dig here, quick"
At a depth Of nine feet the rescuers
took out three men, unconscious, but
alive. Thos three men and
were all right by morning.
In the same Smith pointed
out other places, which resulted in the
locating Of many bodies and the un.
covering in all Of twenty-five men
whose lives were saved.
Where did you learn that trick?"
Smith was asked the other day.
II learned that in Idaho, at Wood
River" said he. The Indians know
that trick. 1 guess a wire would be
better than a stick, but they don't keep
wire in stock out in the wilds, so In
dams always use a stick. You see II
a Teller is alive you can sort of hear
him breathe, or 1 guess it's more like
feeling him breathe. If he is kicking or
moving around you can hear him plain.
You just put the stick down into the
snow two or three feet and you can
heal a Teller breathing, even IL he's
twenty feet further down."
