again, and the hearts of the will beasts that had been frozen to death were set throbbing once more, and new life returned to them.
 Before the cold came great prep arations had been made for a feast but when the storm began the people feared for awhile to venture from their hogans. But at last the feast was gotten ready and the people as- sembled about a great iron kettle filled with dried-corn and meat. The kettle was suspended over a fire and its contents kept constantly at boil ing heat. Each one was furnished with great wooden spoon that ho might help himself from the kettle. but hasten as he might, the boiling corn and meat became hard frozen before 1t could be carried from the kettle to his mouth.
 When Black Horse ceased to speak his blanketed companions hastily re- moved their pipes from their mouths and solemnly calculated ou! ou! ou! to express their confidence in the truth of the assertions their companion had made. H. R. BRINKERHOFF,

THE GIRL PATSY"

In The Girl Patsy" to-night's at traction at Polls, Jane Mauldin Feigl has written play of the smart set at a fashionable rural retreat near New York. She has taken her characters from life and made them act like real people. The result is a natural, thoroughly sweet and wholesome story of absorbing inter- est. The heroine, girl of winsome personality, poses half unwillingly in woodland dells to young city artist. He comes to profane, but stays to worship. His sylvan love affair reaches other ears and before the play is half done all manner of complications have arisen It suffices to say that the sketches lead to es- tablishing Patsy's true identity and all ends well. Mary Ryan will be seen in the winsome role of Patsy. Prices are 25, 35, 50, 75 and $1. Telephone 116-2.

The Indians made little preparation for their own personal comfort, and when finally fire was kindled for the com manding officer, they hastened to gath CT about 1t, and. pushing the snow aside with their feet, sat down on the cold ground.

 They formed a picturesque group as they sat thus, bare-headed, before tho fire, enveloped in their blankets, their swarthy faces lighting up by the blaze.
 Black Horse, the spokesman of tho party, finally removed his pipe from bis mouth, and ventured to ask the officer through an interpreter if he had ever heard of the cold winter tha. had once visited the Navajo country. long years before the Americans first came. It was cold beyond belief. h' continued, when he had been encour- aged to proceed. The wild animals perished in the mountains and the sheep left their cotes and crowdel into the hogans with the people. In the early spring the sun shone strong

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

It will be a great week for the front rows at the Jacques, for the Red Raven Cadets, who lead the bill. are pretty enough to fill the chairs near Pianist Lewis Madden at every performance. Miss Hilda Carle, who acts as leader. is shapely figure and has a pleasing voice. Smith and Full Ter, who have been seen here many times before. got the applause honors last night with an act that is essen tially the same as that presented for the past four seasons. Miss Fuller sings a number of songs tunefully and simply and her harp selections were we'll chosen and effective. MT Smith still uses tin cans and other unmusical things and gets splendid results from them. The unique end ing of the bill Is "The Onion Trust" which by the way has nothing to do with the story, done by the Mason Kelly company. an eccentric skit in which Mir Kelly gets all the honors by his remarkable characterization of an opium fiend. The impersona- ton is sustained and consistent and the lines uncommonly bright. Rein brothers, dancers. do a pleasing act which would "go" with twice the ef- feet if the brethren were not so pain fully conscious of their beauty. white suits and cleverness. If they are not poseurs of the most pronounced type their manner is a islander. Adamini and Taylor sing well and their offer ing is refined: Edgar Allen and his company present sketch. The Vic tor" and Spauldfng does some excel lent acrobatbc stunts. The electro graph pictures are very funny. and the whole bill is attractive.

READING WITH THOUGHT.
An Experiment That Proves Ws Often Look Without
 Seeing.

Did you ever try to give . careful description of the appearance of some object very familiar to you. such, for instance, as your own front door or gateway, or the pattern upon some favorite article of dress? Try the ex- pertinent, advises St. Nicholas. Un- less you are unusually observant, you will be surprised to see how hay Is your mental picture. This experience proves that we look without seeing, and it is to be feared that many of us read without thinking. AS an ex- ample. some of you may have heard a verse of a not obscure song in which a young man is represented as en- tering an inhabited place upon the back of small horse, as inserting a plume in his headgear. and giving i. the name of "Macaroni." For those to whom the verse is unfamiliar 1t may be said that the young mans name is Yankee Doodle" If you hays read the stanza. is it fair to ask # you know what "Macaroni" means? l. is not a merely nonsensical rhyming word.

WITH THE NAYAJ0ES
WHAT A COLD SPELL MEANS TO
 THESE INDIANS.
Folklore of the Theater-A Bivouac in the Sne v-An Der True
 Tale-Ths Polite Lis teners,

The winter of 1S6s-70, was unusually severe in the mountain region of New Mexico, especially in that part of i. occupied by the Navajo Indians. The reservation of these people, 1t will bs remembered, extends practically from the summit of the Rocky mountains, westward along the Pacific slope to the Colorado river, and consists of high mountain ranges and broad grass covered valleys. It lies at the aver age elevation of 1000 feet above the sea, and during the winter season is sometimes visited by severe storms of snow and hail, and occasionally swept by icy blasts that destroy animal life.
 The folklore of the peoples of the world gives expression often to dan gers that threaten from the elements. and clothe the sprites of winter and summer with powers to injure and destroy.
 Late in January, 1870, a messenger arrived one day at Fort Wingate, a military station on the eastern bor- der of the Navajo reservation, bear ing dispatches from the agent of the Tulerosa Apaches, 100 miles or more to the south, and almost on the Mex ican lines, asking for protection against 2 threatened raid of Cochise's band of renegade Apaches, then "straddling the border near by, that they might the more easily escape the possible pursuit of American or Mexican troops
 The mountains were covered with snow at the time and the trail iead- ing to the south was hiden from view. It happened that several Navajo war riors' familiar with the southern coun- try were then at the fort on trading expedition, and for small consider ation and something to eat on the way, were eventually engaged to pilot the troops to the agency.
 On the first night out from Fort Wingate the troops went into bivouac in little grove of pinon trees, and, clearing away the snow, made mat

THE BLACK CROOK "

The old legend of "The Black Crook" adroitly woven into the lines of comedy and enhanced by num- Der of catchy musical selections, will add another to the list of the suc- cessful productions of Polls Wednes- day evening when presented there. Modern subjects may be well enough to serve as the introduction of elabo- rate costumes of new creations, but the old stories put to music, like "HumptyDumpty," Mother Goose" and "Sinbad," have proven the most fascinating themes for musical com edy, giving in addition to the expect ed jokes and songs novelty which in itself is entertaining. Prices are 25, 35, 50, 75 and $1. Telephone 116-2.

THE OLD CLOTHES MAN"

James Kyrle MacCurdy in his lat est successful play, "The Old Clothes Man." will be seen at Poli's Thurs day afternoon and evening. Every one who has seen the performance of this clever character actor in this play speaks in glowing terms of its many interesting features and novel surprises. The plot is said to con- tain more than the ordinary stage story, consistent to a fault, clean cut and wealth of deep hearted inter est, pathos and rich quality of keen humor that bubbles and bursts all through the play. Prices are 25, 35 and 50 cents; matinee 25 cents. Seat sale Wednesday.

Cuts Flesh Away Himself.

Sedalia. Mo.-Charles Johnson. re- siding west of Green Ridge. took ex- treme methods to escape from the ef- fleets of a rattlesnake bite. Johnson was bitten by a snake while walking along the railroad track. and. hastily taking the coverings from the injured member. cut the flesh from the vicin- ity of the wound with a pocketknife. He then walked to town and had su.- geons dress the self-inficted wound. No ill effects from the poison of the snake were felt.

WAY DOWN EAST"

The remarkable popularity of Way Down East" is proved by the fact that one company playing 1t rarely leaves New England and then only for a short run through the southeastern states. It is estimated that a large majority of the railroad towns in the United States, of over 10000 population, have been visited. The play has made a fortune for Messrs Brady and Grismer and seems destined to have perennial populari- ty. It comes to Polls Friday after noon and evening. Precisely the same big company and scenic inves- titure used during the run of the drama at the Academy of Music, New York city, will be seen here. Prices 25, 35, 50, 75 and q: matinee 25, 35, 50 and 75. Seat sale Thursday.

COFFIN NAILS FOR CHINA.
America Sent 722, ,ooo, 900 Cigar cites to the Celestial Empire
 Last Year.

Nine per cent. more cigarettes were manufactured in 1905 than in 1904 -3, ,500, 100000 in all-but not all of them were smoked here.
 Cigarettes are the only tobacco man. ufacture whose exportation from this country is important, and during the last three years this foreign trade has been growing. In 1904 there were 1.56s, sos, 900 cigarettes exported, and last year, 100000, 900. an indicated increase for the 12 months of 1905 of 232,000.0 900.
 About four-ffths of the total exports of cigarettes go to Asia. China, in- cluding Hongkong, imported 722,0d0.- 900, and the British East Indies, 50S,- 342,000. The next largest importing country is Australia, which last year took 125,000.0o0 cigarettes.
 The manufacture of cigarettes is limited to four cities-New York. Richmond, New Orleans and San Francisco. New York, first among the cigar-making cities, manufactures nearly two-thirds of the cigarettes. or about 2,oo0,o00,O0
 There are 225 cigarette factories here in a total of 4S5 for the whole country. In recent years the number of small factories has been growing rapidly on the East side. where new corners made by hand the variety of cigarettes called Turkish.
 The total number of foreign made cigarettes imported into the United States last year amounted to 5000. 900 only-an insignificant quantity when compared with the large number of American made cigarettes exported into other countries.

Notification in Cumberland Co.

Candidate Cyrus w. Davis is report
ed to have said in Belfast Saturday.:
eff Governor Cobb expects to retain
the confidence of the people, he needs
to join the Democratic party, which be-
lieveS in law, and not remain with the
party of notification" That would do
very well in Belfast, but we warn the
Democratic aspirant for Gubernatorial
honors that he should not repeat that
statement when lie comes into Cumber-
land county. Many of his party fol
lowers have pleasant memory, almost
like a sweet taste still i'll the mouth, of
the days of notification under Sheriff
Pencil i'll this county. Many OF them
voted for Sheriff Pencil two years ago
because he said that he would continue
to nnllify the law as long as they would
elect him to be sheriff. He didn't keep
that promise, but they thought he
would when they voted tor him. They
would open their eyes wide if they were
told here that the Democratic party be-
lieves in law. 1t was all right in Bel

find cold favor among the Democrats
