"COLONIAL BELLIES"

Coming events are said to cast
their shadows before them; but
rays of sunshine should precede
"The Colonial Bellies, the burles-
que attraction which will be the
bill at the Metropolitan all next
week. It is without doubt one
of the brightest combinations Of
clever people, pretty women, up>
to-date comedy and tuneful music
that has ever been seen on the bur-
lesque stage. Commencing with a
topical farce <'The Baby Farm" fol-
lowed by vaudeville olio and con-
Guiding with an elaborate burles-
que Cohen, the Count, there Is
not one moment from the rise to
the final drop Of the>curtain during
which the audience is not thorough
ly amused and entertained. In the
company are such bright lights Of
the comedy, musical and vaudeville
world as Charles Robinson, the
highest salaried character comedian
in burlesque; Charles Fake, Am
erica's favorite song illustrator;
Lawrence, Edwards & Marie Rich
mond, the eccentric mirth produc-
ers; Cook and Phillips, sidewalk
conversationsists and soft shoe
dancers, and Rose Carlin, the vocal
coincidence. The performance as
a whole is rich in the gaiety Of
farce, the pretty music Of comic
opera, the visions of feminine beauty
peculiar to burslesque and the
scenic and costume effects Of extra
6hganza.
In conjunction with the Colonial
Bellies regular performance there
will be offered an innovation in the
shape of the marvellous Dunedin
Troupe a company Of cyclists from
Australia, who come direct from the
N. Y. Hippodrome, where they have
created the sensation Of the past
season. This troupe is composed Of
three men and two young ladies,
all one family and their death de-
flying feats are beyond imagination.

Gale Versus Storm.

In a battle between a storm and a
gale which would you bet on?
This is not such hard problem as
it looks. The voters Of the second as
sembly district, Queens county, decided
it some years ago, and demonstrated
that a gale will defeat storm three
out of four times.
The GSst clash of the elements oc-
Cured in 1896, when Frederick Storm,
Republican, beat Cyrus Gale, Demo
GRAFT Both rested the following year,
but Gale returned to the fray and
scored straight victories in 1893, 1899
and 1900. Storm, however, partially
evened the account by serving term
in congress. He was defeated for re-
election by Townsend Scudder, whose
last name, by the way, brings up
thoughts Of "scudding before the
Storm" and gave 'hunch bettOrs" an
indication as to how they should place
their money.-New York American.

PHYSICAL Horrors Not Art.

The subject of discussion at the
Impressionists' club was a picture,
"Circe's SWINE by a young German
painter, a grotesque study showing
the enchantress among a herd of bes-
tial things, variously diverging from
the human type-furry cared fauns.
shaggy hipped satyrs, apes with pink
palms, shutting jackals and thick jowl-
ed swine-all with more or less of
agonized human intelligence protest
ing mutely from their hideous Inca
mentS.
''They are all errors, these freakish
eXcesses," declared an old painter of
the second empire. "Triboulet, Quasi
modo, Gwynplaine, have no proper
place in art. Such art belongs to the
Huns and Iroquois, who could only be
stirred by laceration and dismember-
ment The only effects of horror prop
erly within the province of the artist
are psychological. Everything else is
a mere matter of the abattoir. The

sanctified by her purpose, in any nat
ural function or attitude decent and

A PRIVATE DENTIST.
One Luxury This Man VIII Have When
He Gets Rich.

''If ever / get really rich," said the
man with tOothache, Il shall have a
private dentist What do | want OF
private dentist? Well, I'll tell you.
Its bad enough anyway to suffer
from your teeth, but to me this suffer
ing is made doubly distressing by the
circumstances attendant upon my visit
to the dentists office.
ST arrive there to find the dentist
working away upon the teeth of some
patient in his chair, and that always
sort of disturbs me-to find somebody
else being worked over and cared for
while / wait Ia distress. l think l am
entitled to all the care and sympathy
And maybe | find somebody else wait
ing, perhaps a friend of the peSSOn in
the chair, or somebody waiting his
turn, come ahead of time, and that
disturbs me, for like to wait with my
pain in solitude.
But the dentist gets through with
the patient in the chair on time for ne,
and l take my place under his hands.
And l don't doubt that get his con
centrated and complete attention and
skill while he is operating upon me,
but can't get away from the idea that
he Is working as rapidly as he can so
as to be ready for the next patient.
"And then, with all my pain, l can't
forget either that person in the waiting
room waiting his turn after me, and
waiting without a particle of sympa-
thy for me, and, in fact, rather lmpa-
tent of my presence and thinking of
himself alone. This is rather wounding
| to my self esteem.
"In fact, however l regard it, visit
to the dentists Office is always a jar
ring experience My dentist is man
! of the highest professional skill, and,
as | said, | am sure get his best care,
but still all these familiar things that
l have mentioned to you jar me, and
/ would avoid them all if / could. So
when l get real rich l shall certainly
have a private dentist. Washington

Indian BUG Eaters.

A reporter went over into the Indian
Territory and ate locusts with the
full bloods. He says: "The insects are
caught at night just before they are
strong enough to fly away. The In,
dams select a smooth spot of ground
where they have ascertained that the
grubs are plentiful and clean it off
nicely. When it is dark they go to the
place thus prepared with torches and
beat the ground with a maui or jump
up and down on it. with the result
that the young locusts swarm out and
are swept into bags and baskets,
where they are sailed, put in an oven

the writer took a helping of the sus-
picious looking bugs and bit gingerly
a plump one in the middle and then
ate the whole bug and helped himself

Character In the Eyes.

Character reading from the features
is an interesting study IN which most
people indulge. though perhaps uncOn-
sciously. A man is heard frequently
to remark that ne never judges a per-
son by external appearances, but let
person apply to this same man for
position and the first thing he will do
will be to make a mental estimate OF
the character, ability and general con-
dition of the applicant. And he does
this from outward appearances entire

look at his eyes. More signs or char
acter are expressed through the eyes
than any other feature. The eye is the
window to the brain, and through 1t an
expert character reader can often see
many a tale that would be lost to the
average person. A guilty eye has sent
more than one criminal to meet his
fate, and a steady, unflinching one has
helped many a man through a serious
