Keith,s Boston Theatre.

The programme to be presented at
Keith's next week will be notable for
the number of acts that have never
before been seen in the house, among
them those of Phyllis Rankin and
Harry Davenport, Willie Panther and
company, the Sharpshooting Vivians,
Work and Over, and Wood and Law
son. The balance of the bill will be
made up of we'll performers, includ l.
ing Genaro and Bailey, Ben WEIGH
and Villa Holt Wakefield, all of
whom have some new material to
offer.
Phyllis Rankin and Harry Daven-
port, whose most notable successes
were scored in "The Belle of New
York;. have a new sketch that is one
of the hits of the season, a vehicle
that fits them both to perfection. The
acrobatic act of Willie Panther and
company is another of the current
seasons sensations, a novelty that is
sure to score heavily. There have
been a number of shooting acts seen
in vaudeville, but it has remained for
the Vivians to cap the climax. Their
work is simply phenomenal. An
athletic comedy act that is bound to
cause a lot of talk will be the contri-
button of Work and Over, while
Wood and Lawson are great dancers

Mad dogs do not attack people
when dog has the rabies" said a
physician. "he has lost control of his
body, and what he does Is mechanical
His jaws snap involuntarily, and If he
encounters any object, whether ami
mate or inanmate. he is likely to bite
1t. But a mad dog does not attack as
does an angry dog. He does not pick
out victim or use any strategy. For
this reason dogs suffering from rabies
are less dangerous than Is supposed
No grown person need fear them, for
all he has to do is to get out OF the
way. The dog will not chase him. OF
course, young chIldren are In danger,

The Sons of the American Revolu-
ton in Maine are looking for boul-
der which will be suitable for monu-
ment to be placed at Valley Forge,
Pa, to perpetuate the last resting
place of the Maine soldiers who fell
In that memorable battle and to this
end they ask the assistance of all
Maine people patriotically inclined In
their search for a suitable stone. A
lar ge symetrical boulder is the one
that is desired 1t must be of granite,
about nine or ten feet in breadth, sew
en- or eight feet in height -four or five
feet above ground when in place. and
five or six feet in depth. One similar
to the Weymouth memorial at Thorn
aston and the Conway memorial at
Camden is desired. 1t is hoped that
one will be found adjacent to the
tracks of the Maine Central, as the
expense of loading will not be as
great. On this boulder, bronze tab
let will be placed with an inscription
in honor of the patriots from Maine
who served at Valley Forge. The I'M
yelling of the memorial will take
place Oct. IT, 1907, with appropriate
services. Gov. Cobb has signified his
intention to be present with his staff,
and of course the Maine Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution
will be represented in large numbers.
The exercises connected with the un-
yelling of the memorial cannot but be
interesting and impressive.
