big Hearted Jim" is a big, hear
ty play and one of the very best
attractions that will be seen here
this season. 1t is not a sensational
melodrama, but a wholesome, wor-
thy, strong American play with the
genuine appeal of the true melo-
drama. There are dozen good
characters beside the fearless but
tender-hearted Montana sheriff, and
all are in good hands. Four west
ern stage pictures true to life, are
shown and the scenic display is de-
cidedly picturesque in detail, while
humor, trickery, pathos and ro-
nance alternate often and rapidly
throughout the play. Opera house

An old writer says. when men lived
In houses of reed they had constitu-
lions Of oak: when they lived in houses
Of oak they had constitutions Of reeds"
This is picturesque description of the
injury which may come to US from
fine houses too closely confined to keep
out the fresh air and too heavily cur
tanned, preventing the entrance Of sun
shine, which is almost if not quite as
important as air. But it is not at all
necessary to have our fine houses IN
healthy, and it requires only intelli-
gence and thoughtfulness to render a
brick house as good a promoter Of
health as cabin. Fresh air will come
into well ventilated modern houses as
well as through the open cracks Of a
house of reeds and sunlight through a
window in palace as well as hove.

"a
Immediately following Mr.. Races
brief address, which was warmly APP
plauded, Miss Everett and her class
of little people were introduced. and
their little comedies in one act were
worth long walk to witness. If
there is no royal road to learning,
the primrose path Of the up-to-date
primary teacher is mighty good
substitute for it. We shall make no
attempt to describe the juvenile con-
tinuous vaudeville, with the small
performers not acting their parts by
rote, but using their bright wits at
every change of scene, and learning
by doing. We advise parents who
have not visited Miss Everett S room,
to make date and.enjoy a delight
fulsexperience.
And the interested visitor to the
primary rooms should not miss the
singing exercises under the leader
ship of Miss Leabner, who treated
the teachers to a practical demon
stration of her methods Immediately
following the retirement of Miss
Everett, the same class remaining
as pupils. A 1.f Miss Leubner teaches
reading by note from the first, and
is plainly doing good work in all
of the grades of our schools.
Miss Title Will made a forcible
argument in favor of the teacher
getting acquainted with the parents
of her pupils and thereby transform
ing them from prejudiced critics to
co-workers with the teacher in help
ing the child.
Miss Harris gave her fellow teach
ers some practical suggestions in
regard to systematic word study and
teaching methods, and Prof. Douglas
of Clements followed with an en-
thusiastic plea for more interest in
the teaching of music and note
reading in schools. He thought
that teachers who boosted of being
scientific in their methods should
teach music scientifically rather than
by ear alone.
The evening was given to popu
lar meeting at the M. E. church
which all enjoyed. Supt. Beber-
meyer made an admirable master of
ceremonies, III. A. Baldwin welcomed
the teachers with a speech which
showed that he thoroughly appre-
ciated the Importance of the work
they were doing, and concluded
with a couple of capital stories
which left his auditors in happy
mood for the response by Mr.. Race,
which that gentleman made all too
brief, in order to give more time for
the main address Of the evening.
Miss Amy Barnes delighted the
audience with a song, and the high
school orchestra of last year, with
one or two necessary changes, re-
sponded to double encore from the
large number who would have been
content to hear the old band play"
all the evening.
Prof. Cederstrom was at disad-
vantage in being introduced after
nine o'clock, when his audience had
been surfeited with good things.
His address on the relation of geog-
raphy to history was a thoughtful
one, but too exhaustive to be given
even in outline in this report.

sALriNo THE DUCK MARsHEs.
Practice Condemned by Hunters, Who
 Call It 6arnyarc Sport.

A California newspaper chronicles the prowess of large number of mighty nimrods who recently killed the limit number of ducks on various preserve grounds previously baited with food which had made the birds tame and unsuspicious.
 This "barnyard sport" does not ap- peal to Recreation correspondent. who objects to unnecessary slaughter, even if the law does admit the killing Of half hundred ducks.
 The practice of "salting" duck marshes and lakes with corn and othe, grain, and then burning them out" on the opening day is simply phase of the degeneracy of latterday duck shooting
 The birds get so that they will come in for the grain like chickens at the call of housewife. It requires no hunting skill to find the game and 1t is so ridiculously tame from non-mo- lestation and constant feeding at the baited points that the shooting is about as difficult as shooting at poul- try show and killing rooster.

FORM NEW SOCIETY
SAILORS WHO SERVED ON SMALL
 GUNRoATs ORGANIZE.
Seek to Preserve the Fellowship of War Time-To Be Known az An. cient and Honorable Order
 of Sons of Gunboats.

As long as men find themselves thrown together in any particular en- terprise and with one end in aim, where the hardship and the danger are the common lot of all, and the hearts of all are knit together in that close fellowship of sympathy, just so long will we find the incentive springing up for the formation of societies to perpetuate the memories and the fel- lowships. There have been many or ganizations formed by those who were enlisted in the army and navy during the Spanish-American war, but still there are others. The latest society to be formed is the Ancient and Hon. orable Order of Sons of Gunboats," and it is the outgrowth of the desire to preserve the records and the tra- ditions of the Services performed on board the flotilla of small auxiliary gunboats that were captured from Spain during the war
 It was some years after the first establishment of the gunboat service that the officers who had been assign. ed to these little sea warriors first dis cussed the means that might be em- ployed to preserve records and tra- ditions, and well worth preserving these are, telling as they do of the unexploited work that was done and of the many deeds of daring of which the world outside of that little one which engaged in 1t knows noth- ing. History of the formation of the gun. boat flotilla dates back to the time when Dewey invested Manila with his squadron. In complete ignorance oi the situation, not even knowing that hostilities had been declared, the Cal lao, one of the largest of the Spanish gunboats. returning from long south ern cruise, steamed into Manila bay her newest ensign at the stan, her longest pennant at the main truck, a fresh coat of paint without and within every touch that judicious anticipa ton of the Spanish admirals expect ed inspection would suggest.
 Wondering what so many American men.of-war were doing in the harbor and at the absence of those flying the flag of Spain, the captain of the Cal lao brought his little craft we'll under the guns of the ships which had changed the destiny of the islands be fore he understood. When he did, he promptly surrendered, an act of discre

tion. for which he was subsequently, court.martialed.
 Under her new colors the Callao was placed under the command of Lieut.. Benjamin Tappan. This was the nucleus of the fotilla that was subsequently, to be drawn from Span. ish forces, and as ultimately organized the gunboat fleet comprised the fol. lowing: The Quiros. the villalobos. the Samar. the Pampanga, the Para. qua, the Arayat, the Pana. the Albay. the Leyte. the Calamlanes, the Min doro, the Marivales. the Manileto. the Basco. the Gardoqui and the Urdaneta. All of these small craft were procured by Spain about the year 1896 to sup press piracy in the Philippines.
 The organization of the gunboat flotilla introduced new era. The pi- ratical war craft, maneuvering under sail, were powerless to contend against these naval enemies. and were driven up the rivers of Mindanao and back to their native villages for ref uge.
 Each gunboat was at first attached to a larger vessel. termed its parent ship" The parent ship" furnished officers and crew. with the exception of fremen.

Subsequently the gunboats were placed in independent commission. available at a moments notice for detail to any portion of the archipel- ago.
 Men and officers served on them continuously for periods limited only by the strength of their constitutions.
 To keep alive the feeling of fellow ship and the memories of these eun- boat experiences. a meeting of all gum boat officers present was held at Ma niIa bay. and at the meeting the so- ciety was formed. with the purpose of maintaining that feeling of good feI- Iovship and collecting and preserving the records and traditions

ALL COlFFURES HIGH
LoW-DREssEp HEAD NOW THING
 OF THE PAST.
Some of the Modes Are Trying and
 Not Altogether Pretty-Sketches !; of Ornaments That Are Ii Popular.

The low-dressed head is thing of the past. Every fashionable coiffure is high, and there is 8 great vogue in hair ornaments. All sorts of pretty things are requisitioned for the decora- tion of the hair, back-combs playing an important part in the scheme Of adornment, while such trifles as high bows of spangled and pailletted net and lace, butterflies of velvet and se- quins, semi-wreaths of flowers and foliage, knots of roses, wisps of tulle, and plumes of various kinds are more or less worn. According to present fashions the hair is drawn up high from the nape of the neck, fixed mid way with an ornamental comb, and ar. ranged in various fancy ways on the top of the head, the decree being that the dressing shall be forward for the winter season. The hair in front is either thrown well over the forehead or drawn straight up from the brow in a series of puff-curls, the coiffure shelving of sharply at the back, in a way that, it must be admitted, is sometimes very trying, and far from pretty. The really artistic coiffure is so arranged that it forms sort of frame to the face; but the ultra-smart are prone to lose sight of the artistic ele- ment in their mode of coiffure. think ing only of the importance of illustrat. ing the last word in hair-dressing fash ions.

Sketched also is the new hair orna- ment, consisting of drapery of gold tissue with a full.blown pink velvet rose at the right side and punches of gold grapes and vine leaves at the left. The combination of color in the real article Is truly lovely. Another orna- ment in the group is little cap of em- broidered velvet-pale blue worked with pearls and gold thread-with knots of black or blue satin ribbons at each side. This little head-dress is copied in black moire and in fur for matinee wear at theaters. Beneath it will be seen a sweeping paradise plume. this, in black or amber. form ing picturesque accompaniment to an Empire toilette.

How do you hold your head?
 This may seem an insignificant con sideration to many women, but to those who know, it means the boise of the entire body.
 When, the head is held correctly, in straight line with the spine, it draws up the chest, gives graceful. natural poise to the shoulders, hattens the ab. domen and so produces that perfect balance we admire in women of regal bearing and dignity.
 This natural and perfect posture of the body is well exemplified in the arrow-like Indian, so also in the peas. ant women of Southern Europe who have long been famed for their mag. nificent physique and perfect bodily

 They Were Built.
 and metal; the limitations of the an, cient, romantic Tyrol castles and houses were substantially built, de- spite the fact that they were the handi. work of the artist Some of the fin- est panorama paintings of the world were installed in the building known as the castle" wherein the charming views of the Alpine valleys, gorges and villages were given to the public, q few short months ago.
 The quietude of certain obscure hooks gives one the impression that the villagers have been swept away by ruthless invader, and the houses sacked and deserted and left to ruin. Then comes from over a mighty gla. cier the steady "click, click" of the workman's hammer and you arc brought back to the reality again.
 One of the most deplorable ravages done by these wreckers is the destruc, tion of the festival hall in the castle. In this great medieval room. oaken rafters are brought strongly out by a framework of elegant frescoeing and reproductions of famous Tyrolese paintings and sculpture work. We can picture in our minds eye the day when chivalry was yet young and the bloody hordes of mountain robbers swooped down on the landed gentry, carrying death and ruin into their peaceful midst.
 The paintings in this castle, which are valued at about $200,000, were painted by German landscape artist of Berlin. His name is Rummelspach- CT. and he has made life study of Tyrolese scenery, having spent . great part of his time at Innsbruck. These paintings. most of which are being taken down, still retain their value, and will be sold to various new sums mer gardens throughout the country, The paintings required three years to paint, and at least a dozen artists worked on them under the direction of Rummelspacher. When they were shipped from Germany the duty on them was even greater than their value, and a number of native artists who had helped paint them came ovep to look after their safety and help diss play them to the best advantage. 1 The hardy mountaineers who came with the painters remained and arc even sticking to the paintings at the last. They are huge men. with typical Tyrolean countenances. The wreckins company has employed them to 70. move the paintings from the castle. to be kept in storage until buyer is found who is willing to pay the price asked.
 George Snitzer and Frank Schiebe are true types of the Tyrol peasantry. They have climbed the Alps from childhood. and are eager to return ts their native land.
 T hate to see 1t go." said Snitser, gazing at a cement peak which he had often seen in reality. although it means more money for me. It seems . shame that such good imitation of the most wonderful scenery in the world should be torn down like any old warehouse. I was with Rummel. spacher during the entire time when he was painting the scenery. and ] know how he loved 1t. Some of the best pictures were ruined on the pas sage and were never displayed in the ] Alps."

JACKETS OF THE SEASON.
Garment Made Up In Particularly Ef,
 feetive Manner.

Many jackets this year are made up so as to look very like dress waists. but they open down the center in the regular way and underneath is worn the fine lingerie or silk bodice. One model was exceedingly pretty in a tan. or, rather, light brown broadcloth.
 This jacket was made with a wide fitted yoke cut rather in the shape of sailor collar, and this was bordered with a double row of soutache braid. Below the yoke the cloth was~laid in six box plaits. that is. three on each side of the center plait, and these. opening out, allowed the material to blouse slightly over the wide stitched cloth belt.
 Below the belt was a short shaped hip piece. There was small round collar of hand embroidered silk, through which was run black taffeta ribbon. which. tied in a four-in-hand bow. fell half way to the belt. The cuffs at the elbows were embroidered. with taifeta ribbon run through in the same way as on the collar.

poise, which is traced to their habit, centuries old, of carrying objects of one thing and another on their heads.
 In exercises for the symmetrical de- velopment of the neck all the work is done by the head and the raised arm on which the head rests at intervals Assume the position shown in the sketch. Here the arm is so poised that when the head Is in repose the tips of the fingers will lightly rest on the middle of the forehead. These ex. ercises should be taken while you are sitting, only see to 1t that you are sitting well. with the chest thrown out. When the table you are using seems too low place book or two under your elbow. Another movement consists of slowly rolling the head backwards keeping the fingers station ary, so that when 1t Is as far back as 1t will go, the finger tips will be be. low the chin. Then bend the head as far forward with the hand or finger tips on the crown. Repeat five times alternately.
 Rest the finger tips upon the nose or forehead, twist the head around until the fingers touch the side of the head we'll toward the back, repeat un' til you have swung your head around in nearly a semi-circle.
 A most efficient exercise to build up that splendid contour of the neck is to bend 1t as far to the sides, front and back as possible, doing 1t slowly with all muscles relaxed.
 Then swing the head around in g semi-circle as a drowsy child allows hers to fall. Continue this exercise ten times. Stop as soon as the strain becomes unpleasantly apparent. Don, exercise more than ten or 15 minutes taking the movements slowly and with regularity. That is the only way to accomplish real, lasting bene At. ....
