Bergere appeared at Proetor's Theatre last
night and by highly creditable acting won
the approving verdict of the audience. The
sketch was not remarkable for novelty.
Not only to la Dame aux Camelias'' may
the author acknowledge Indebtedness, but
to such other familiar plays as David

the purpose, however, of allowing Miss
Bergere to demonstrate anew her charm in
comedy and her ability to mingle pathos
with fun. A Bowery girl with a George

artists mother appears upon the scene to
take back her wandering boy. She shows
the girl that unless she, the girl, renounces
the artist, the doors of opportunity will
be closed to him. So the girl agrees to
give him up, and, to make the parting eff

Robert Western. known az Broncho Bob,
Is an enemy OF Bud Hawley. from whom
he has captured the title of champion
broncho buster. Bud tries by slanderous
talk to hurt Bob, but fails. He there
fore swears to get revenge some other
way. Bob is in love with Ruth Tompkins.
Gold Heels, an Indian maid. whose life
Bob has saved, is also in love with her
b~enefactor, but seeing that Bob cares for
Miss Ruth she decides TO help them.
Hawley and his ~accompllces try by vari-
GUS tricks TO kill Bob, together with Miss
Ruth and Gold Heels, but all their muir
derous attempts are set at naught.
The sensation of sensations in the action
comes in a scene showing a binding snow
storm on a prairie, with Broncho Bob max
ing his appearance tied to the back of a
wild steer and dashing frantically on to
certain death. The villains have reckoned
without little Gold Heels. however, who
comes on horseback to the rescue and,

A Mothers Argument.

'The most to be regretted act OF my
life" says commander of the navy,
"was Il letter | wrote to my mother
when about seventeen years of age.
She always addressed her letters to me
as my dear boy | felt at that time
l was a man, or very near it, and
wrote saying that her constant ad-
dressing me as Il boy made me feel
displeased. l received in reply Il letter
full of reproaches and tears. Among
other things, she said: You might grow
to be as big as Goliath, as strong as
Samson and as wise as Solomon; you
might become ruler of nation OF en-
peror OF many nations, and the world
might revere you and fear you, but to
your devoted mother you would al
ways appear in memory in your inno-
Sant, unpretentiOus, unself conceited
unpampered babyhood. In those days
when washed and dressed and kissed
and worshiped you. you were my idol
Nowadays you are becoming part Of q
gross world by contact with 1t, and
cannot bow down to you and worship
you, but IL there are manhood and
maternal love transmitted to you, YOU
will understand that the highest COM
pliment that mother love can pay you
Is to call you my dear boy."'"

Some Old Time Giants.

Cajanus, Swedish giant who was
nine feet high, was on exhibition in
London in 1742, and several old hand
bills still exist which set forth the
measurements of this freak of nature
Thirty years later we have Charles
Byrne, who was eight feet four inches
in height in his stockinged feet. He,
however, died young, at the age Of
twenty-five, from hard drinking. Cot
ter O'Byrne another Irish giant. fol
lowed few years later. He was
born at Klnsale in 1861 and at the age
of fifteen was eight feet high. This
by the time he was twenty-three had
increased to nine feet four inches, and
then he changed his name to O'Brian
in order to make people think that he
was descended from King Brian Bo-
rolhme and went on exhibition. At
that business he, of course, soon real
lied a very comfortable fortune and re-
tired, dying at Clifton on Sept. s, 1904.
His will especially provided that his
body should be thrown into the sea i'm

Though dentistry became a science
under the hand of Professor Richard
Owen as late as 1880, there are evi
dences that 1t was practiced In a crude
way by the ancients. Herodotus refers
to treatment of the teeth by the Egyp.
tians, and evidences of attempts to
supply artificial teeth have been dis.
covered in ancient skulls and mum
mics. Galen was the first physician
to speak of treatment of troublesome
teeth, and Ambrose Pare, in his work
OH surgery in 1850, makes mention of
the preservation of the teeth. 1t is
only since the middle of the last CEN
fury. however, that dentistry has be-
come branch of surgical science. Be-
fore that time bad teeth were extract
ed, and mere tooth drawing eonstitut-
ed dentistry early in the nineteenth
century. The first dental school in the
United States was erected at Balti-
more in 1889. In 1915 Cincinnati boast
ed Of similar institution, and in 1856
dental school was erected at Phila-
delphia.

No Rhyme For Tipperarv

A poet once jumped to the conclusion
that there was no rhyme to Tipperary
and said so whereupon an indignant
Irishman, who CHANGED also to be bit
OF versifier, pounced upon him and
poked fun at him in lengthy poem,
every other line of which rhymed or
was supposed to rhyme with the place
In question. Thus:
bard there was in sad quandary
To find rhyme for Tipperary.
Long labored he through January,
Yet found no rhyme for Tipperary:
Toiled every day in February,
But toiled in vain for Tipperary;
Searched Hebrew text and commentary
But searched in vain for Tipperary.
And so on through many scores of
stanzas, ending up with:
He paced about his aviary,
Burnt in despair his dictionary,
Blew up sky high his secretary,
And then in wrath and anger sware he
There was no rhyme for Tipperary.

No one can realize the suffering attend

tackled by the fish and reached shore
only to die In fifteen minutes. The
flesh was literally torn from her body.
Mr.. Dart, who was with Mr.. Thomp
son, caught one Of the fish and pulled
1t upon the bank. He held the carib
under his foot while he pointed at the
peculiar teeth with his finger. With
quick movement the carib topped out
from under Mr.. Darts foot and seized
him by the finger, cutting that member
to the bone. The fish frequently have
been known to bite ordinary fishhooks

Glasses and the Eyes,

Every one knows that in using q
field glass it is necessary to adjust it
to proper focus. Suppose that you
put one of the tubes at your focus and
the other tube ut focus that suited
some one else and then you looked
through both tubes. You would have
more or less blurred vision, and if
you kept on looking the chances are
that you would feel giddy and get
headache. Now, the two eyes are sup
posed to have an equal natural focus,
and when by any chance that focus is
unequal headache results. The rem
edy is pair of glasses or single
glass to make the eyes equal in power.
