William T. Stephens, the educator of
the nine Landseer dogs with THE Way of
the Transgressor," which is at the Column
bla Theatre this week. came near losing
one of them in England a couple of years
age, so his worthy press agent assures
us. TIL dogs performed in London for
twelve weeks, and by royal command
gave an entertainment for the children of
the royal family. The children were de-
lighted with the entertainment. and, one
of the little princes admiring the dog
Gear" Mr.. Stephens presented him with
it. Several days elapsed and the eight
other dogs were going through their ac-
cushioned performances In London when
Mr.. Stephens received a message from the
Kings chamberlain to report at the pal
ace. He went there expecting to receive
a decoration or valuable present for the
gift of the dog, but, much to his surprise,
he was told that it would be a favor If
he would take the dog pack again. 1t
seems that from the time he was sepa-
rated from his companions, the dog had
done nothing but howl, and had driven
the occupants of the palace almost frantic.
Mr.. Stephens afterwards received a pres
emit from the King and an autograph let
ter.

The subjects depicted in animated pic
lures at Shepard's Arcade have all been
eommendable for originality. But the high
standard has been surpassed in the repro
duction now being given there of the IA
nous Dieppe race, the event in Europe
that corresponds to the Vanderbilt CUP
races held on Long Island here in America
The Pathe Company, of Paris, who had
the sole right to take this picture, were
most fortunate in their results. Each car
although speeding along mid clouds OF
dust, is clearly seen as 1t shoots across the
picture. The scenery along the course is
shown with distinctness. The services OF
some twenty or thirty cameras were util-
lied to leave no interesting incident of the
race out of the picture.
The course is far from being a simple
ore. 1t passes through villages, with the
roadways fenced in, and over bridges built
for pedestrians, where streets cross, and is
full of many treacherous double curves,
and deep cuts with high embankments At
one of the most perilous of the places a
car shoots around one curve, sleWs around
the other, and in al instant runs upon
the e~mbankment, turning a complete SOM
~ersault, spilling out both driver and ma
chinist. The car is righted, continues in
the race and finishes third.
This picture will be continued as the
chief attraction at the Arcade the re-
mainder Of the week.

The booking of Ben Hur' at the New
ark next week makes timely the observa-
ton that of the million or more persons
who have seen the play, or who have read
General Wallace's book, few nave ever
given thought to the significance of the
name of the hero. In ancient Hebrew
Ben HUI literally translated means THE
Son of Hur.2 General Lew Wallace Sc
looted one of the oldest families of Israel
about which to weave his story. The land
OF Hur antedates written history. The
Hur family played an important part in
the rise of the Kingdom of Israel, and it's
MEMBERS intermarried with the royal
family.
Prominent men in Engiish-speaking
countries do not today receive a title or
addition to their name from the place,
tow or country in which they are resi-
dents. AS an example take President
Roosevelt. HIS summer home at oyster
Bay is one Of the best known spots in the
country today. Had he lived in ancient
times he would have been called ''Theo-
dore of oyster Bay So Canton is in
separately linked with the name of Me
KInley. Following out this llue of thought,
IL the late President had been a ruler in
Israel. an eldest son would have been
"Beu Canton" In Scotland in the DAYS
of the earlier kings he would nave been
called Ma Canton" If by chance he
had been born and ruled in tile days OF
the Minstrel Kings of Ireland. his son
would have been known as "O'Canton."
In Wales the descriptive prefix "Ap''
would have preceded the surname.

use of two names. like John Smith" In

CHRISTMAS FRUIT BASKETS

America is the greatest fruit eating
country in the world. and New York is the
banner fruit eating city OF America This
applies TO all kinds Of fruit. including some
which come all the way from South Africa.
New York has always been accustomed
to good fruit. Always it has had more
or less good fruit to eat. but il did not
always have 40 large a variety of fruits
from which TO choose even in midwinter,
nor a chance TO have fruit delivered in
baskets Of beautiful workmanship and eX-
quisite cOlors such IA are use1 now.
The use Of these fancy baskets is due
largely to the custom of sending presents
Of fruit to persons sailing on transatlantic
steamers. The extent TO which this custom
has grown may he judged from the fact
that single concern packed and delivered
in one day last spring to five outgoing
passenger steamers 2l2 baskets Of the
finest assorted fruits ObtainabIe. II took
three trucks. two delivery wagons and
five special messengers to deliver the
fruit in time. And there are dozens Of
other concerns in the same business.
