TWAS IN the camp OF BuIlfrog that
Mitchell the big brick red mining
man OF Nevada, told me his view q
law on the desert:
eli you are prospecting with an I'M
recognizable hog OF a partner who wants
to eat three slices Of bacon and half n
loaf Of bread for breakfast and lets
the canteen gurgle down his throat
while you get along with strip OF
bacon and Just moisten your lips when
vorl take a drink, then you're all right
II YOU Kill him I'd kill him il there
wasn't anything else to do. It's
tough game. and it's your life or his
when you're lost or your grub stake
ana water are giving out
These observations are suggested py
the arrival in camp two days before
of the bones OF q prospector who had
died OF thirst some forty miles from
Bullfrog during the previous summer
He had been a carpenter. earning
wages of 50 a dag in the new camps
during the "boon," but the gold fever
led him away from this safe and
profitable toll He picked up part
1er. they loaded their burros and
trailed or south toward the Death val
ley country to prospect in the Funeral
range.
Three weeks after the desert swat
lowed them up the partner wandered
into freighters' camp, half crazed
with thirst and exhaustion. he was
able to tell the freighters that the car
penter was somewhere out beyond,
lost and without water, too helpless to
move. The partner was too weak and
fevered to go back with the rescue
party OF freighters, 50 they left him
In camp. He directed them as well az
he could, but the search was bOotless,
and Griffin, the carpenter OF Bullfrog,
was added to the long list of desert
victims Several months later party
of prospectOrs tumbIed by chance
across what was left OF him. There
were no traces OF his outfit BE had
thrown away his gun, his canteen and
his hat One shoe was found thirty
feet from his body. and he had torn on
and flung away most OF his clothing.
These were the ghastly evidences OF
the last great fight he had made to
struggle on.

Mitchell. who knows the desert
game" ''they throw away everything
until all their clothes are gone. and
you generally find them without a
stitch on."-Ralph D. Paine in Outing.

Howe Pictures

April %, 1906, was day long
awaited by at least one nation-the
Greek-and eagerly looked forward
to by many others. 1t was the
opening day of the Olympic games
at Athens. The theatre of action
was the vast and imposing Stadium,
built entirely of marble one-third
of mile in circumference, and
with "A miles of marble seats. This
imposing spectacle will be repro
duced by Lyman II. Howe at the
Grand on Saturday, Oct ID. mat
inee and night. The scenes open
by showing members of the royal
family bowling to the right and left
in recognition of the cheering hosts.
All Athens seems in frenzy.
Never before in the history of ath-
letics has there been such a sight.
Seventy thousand people were in
the Stadium, 10000 more were on
the hills overlooking it, and 17O,-
600 lined the route of the great
Marathon race. 1t is estimated
there were fully 100000 Grecian
spectators of it, and it is safe to
predict that over million AmeNi-
can spectators viii see it through

IL. The principal character IS
that of Pamnena, the daughter of
an Indian chief who was adopted

influences of education and refine
ment on a typical child of nature

a HOPELESS SITUATION.
odd Climax That Was Not q Part OF
the Play.


the Play.
Frank Gilmore. the actor, tells the
following story about his aunt, Miss
sarah Thorne, who was leading woman
ut the Theatre Royal, Dublin, many
years ago.
Miss Thorrte was given a part in
The Masked Prince the second piece
of the evening said Mr.. Gilmore
Balancing through her part hastily at
breakfast, she noticed that there was
one scene in which she had so little to
say that it could be learned just be-
fore going on. She decided to skip that
scene and get to the longer passages.
When night came, and my aunt
made her appearance, she did very
well in the first scene. In the second
scene occurred the passages she had
skipped in the morning. she rushed to
the corner in which she left her book,
but il was not there. Finally. the
stage manager. receiving 70 response
to his repeated calls. sought her out
and pushed her on the stage. There
she was. before large audience, with
out the slightest idea Of what she was
supposed to do or say. The scene was
a courtroom. At Il high desk sat the
presiding Judge. letter perfect in his
part, because he had it ready to read
from the papers in front Of him. A
trial was taking place. and Miss
Thorne, to her horror. discovered that
she was to be the principal witness.
on whose answers hung the entire plot
of the play. The Judge adjusted his
spectacIes. looked at his part, and said
in solemn tones. The witness will now
state what she saw the prisoner do on
this particular night
What was she to answer? She
glanced around helplessly She hadn't
the faintest idea what she had seen
the prisoner do on that particular night.
The critical moment had arrived; some
one must speak, but she couldn't. Her
eye alighted on one OF the characters
in the play who looked particularly
reliable. He looked like u person who
could get one out of any sort of diff
aculty. So, pointing at him, she ex-
claimed in impressive tones, Ask that
man!
'',The entire cast seemed disconnected
by this remark. They did not know
precisely what ought to be said, but
instinct told them something was
wrong. The Judge, thinking he might
have made some mistake, turned over
a couple of pages of manuscript and,
having convinced himself on this point.
again addressed the witness. My aunt
glanced at the uncomfortable gentle
man and. no other idea coming to her,
again exclaimed. ASK that man" This
of public attention was
too much for him. and he snealxed or
the stage with n feeble Excuse II e.
of course the situation was hopeless
one, and the curtain had to be runG
down.'-.Success.
