Of all the funny men in the world
who have taken the lecture stand,
Senator Bob Taylor of Tennessee has
won a place as one of the funniest.
Nobody will ever accuse him Of do
anything great in the senate of the
United States, but he can keep peo-

chance he will continually break

The village gossips wondered who
he was, what he was, what he came

They were anxious to find out all

who had come to live at a small
Massachusetts village for year or
so. A very successful book, which
has it's famous title from this young

ADJUSTMENTS.


Bob Taylor, the ex-governor ol
Tennessee, and present U. s. Senator
from that state who will lecture in
Barkfoot November Is h, belongs te
one of those families who know some.
thing of "the late unpleasantness on
either side" His father was a soldier
in the Union Army, and his mothers
people were in the Confederate Army
Colonel Taylor was Republican, and
up to the time of his death, he was
an active politician, tho he refused
to run for governor on the prohibi-
tion ticket at one time because his
son Bob was a candidate on the Dem
ocratic ticket and his other son ALT,
was the Republican candidate for
governor. Under these conditions he
declined to be candidate.
The Colonel was an orator, and
besides being a politician, he was a
Methodist preacher. During one cam
paign when he was stumping the
country for the Republican party dur
ing the week, preaching religion on
Sundays, he was pouring forth
stream of oratory to an attentive con-
gregation when smile that was al
most a litter, flashed over the faces
of the people. He was insulted, and
after the service was over he took
somebody aside and demanded an
explanation of why they laughed
when he referred to "the religion of
our Lord Jesus Christ" Another
laugh greeted him with the reply,
why Colonel, you said the Repub-
licanism of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Colonel had very fine plan
tation known as Happy Valley, and
in the drawing room was life size
painting of himself and wife and the
twins, Bob and ALT. Once when a
visitor called and was shown into the
room by colored servant, and as ne
stepped into the room he glanced at
the picture and with an animated ex-
preston he said Good morning Col
onel Taylor. How are you this morn
ing sir"
A Blackfoot lady who is acquaint-
ed with the Taylors, says that Bob
got elected to the United States SEN
ate because of his wonderful ability
to talk and fiddle and joke, and this
alone should be sufficient recommen-
dation to the public to give him
crowded house in Blackfoot on the
18th Inst.

The Royal Slave


"A Royal Slave" is one of the most
elaborate and beautifully melodra-
matte productions on the road. The
scenery is the finest that the studios
can furnish and is painted from phto-
graphs were made in Mexico. The
costumes and stage accessories are
very rich, and the powerful and thrill
ling dramatic situations make the
play series of beautiful stage pic
lures. Though it is a melodrama of
the sensational sort, there is not a
shot fired during the entire play, and
it is possessed of real literary and
dramatic merit of a high order.
This great production represents
more than half years work by an
able corps of scenic artists and skill
led mechanics, and will give our peo-
pie chance to see, not only the beau
tiful scenic equipment, but decidedly
the most original play on the stage
or THIS country.
1t is something to be able to say
that at least we can herald the COM
ing of new play, full of new ideas,
situations and startling effects. Such
is true, however, of the Forthcoming
production of "a Royal Slave" which
is put on in a most artistic manner
complete in every detail. Mr.. Clar-
ence Bennett has always brought us
the finest attractions, and he assures
us this is his best. The play will be
seen at the Armory on November IL.
There have been many successful
plays produced in recent years found
ed upon life in our beautiful west,
and it is announced that local play
goers will be accorded an opportunity
of seeing one of the most successful
of the so called Western Plays during
the coming season entitled "The
Cow-Puncher, produced by w. F.
Mann, who has brought us many
good attractions in the past. This
play will be produced at the Armory
on November 18th.

to exhibit and which will not improve
the morals of the young who look
upon it Through this barroom last
night small boys passed freely, and
larger boys, obviously near the age
of twenty-one, drank the beer which
the busy bartenders served between
the acts. The place was full of men
drinking freely at the bar.
To the left of the stage is huge
sign" Entrance to the Bar. That
is the second bar in the place. 1t was
very thoughtful on the part of the
Davis brothers to establish this bar
room, too, because the aisles are SO
narrow that no one would take the
trouble to pass through them for the
sake of a drink. The law demands
wide, unobstructcd aisles.
If the Davis Theater should catch
fire people would endeavor TO get
through these aisles and then would
be duplicated those scenes of horror
which occurred at the Iroquois The
ater in Chicago during the holidays
of 1908. There are FIVE aisles in the
place. Two skirt each wall and are
wide enough for a thin person to
squeeze himself through without over
turning encroaching chairs. Two
other aisles are wide enough for two
people to pass slowly, and the center
aisle is fairly wide-for the Davis
Theater Davis should read up the
ordinance.
Picture those narrow aisles, the
thickly set rows of seats, twenty
seven in all, seating 1000 people, and
the four exits in the front of the
house and one near the stage An
electric wire might drop, rubbish in
the side alley might burn; the 1imsy
stuff on the stage, where the light
shows are given, the nearby restau-
rant, or the wooden buildings on each
side might catch fire, and there would
be panic. Men, women and children
would crowd the narrow aisles, fight
ing for the exits There would be a
heavy debt of death on the Davis
Theater. conducted by the Super
visor who voted for the ordinance
which provides that all theater build
ings shall be class A., fire-proof struc-
tures. The cloth-covered wooden
walls would feed cruel pyre; the
light roof timbers, saturated with
cheap paint, would be ready fuel
The Ruef politician, the Ruef Board
of Works. the Ruef Police Depart
ment would haye a heavy death list
to answer for.
Perhaps Davis will contend that his
theater is operating under a tenn
porary permit granted by Mayor
Schmitz. Some one should tell
Mayor Schmitz that when fire attacks
crowded theater it does not pause
to ask whether the place is licensed
temporarily or permanently; it burns
or. sufocates or the crowd tramples
to death all those persons who cannot
reach exits because of narrow aisles
and because there are no exits to
reach, owing to violations of the law.

REFUGEE WAIF
Little John Heifner Tells
Pitiful Story to Police
and Gets Square Meal
THREE DAYS ADRIFT

With 1ears streaming down his grtny
little cheeks and one ragged toe ner-
vously digging a hole in the mud of
Lobos Square. Johnny Heifner aged s.
one Of the tiniest Of the refugees. told
a pitiful story to Policeman Nye yes
terday.
Brother Atoms in the hospital and
he's blind. and papa went away with
another lady. and I haven't seen my
mamma for a long time, and I think
she went away of. too he sobbingly
explained.
The policeman took the little waif in
tow and finally landed him in the Emer-
gency Hospital, where he is being well
cared for while the police are searching
for his parents or other relatives
According to the police. the boy s
father left the shanty the family oc-
cupied in Lobos Square about month
ago and has NOT been there since.
Thursday Mrs. Heifner went down
town. ostensibly to make some pur-
chases, and did not return. Since then
little Johnny has been fraternizing
with the dogs and cats in the refugee
camp, getting his food in much the
same manner. There are few families
living In that vicinity now. the major
ity being poor Italians who could not
give the tot much help. He slept
wherever he could find a warm place,
often crying himself TO sleep, but al
ways hoping that his mother would re-
turn.
A brother, Alton. aged s. has been an
inmate of the Children's Hospital since
last September. He is blind and par
slyzed in his lower limbs.
The father, John Heifner Sr., is
structural iron worker.
