The Cow Puncher.

Reminisc ent of the wild and woody
West and equal almost to the famous
Virginian as thrilling drama, is the
play. The play Is modelled after the
western book that had such sale in
the book stores few years ago.
"Chip. Of the flying o." and is one
of the best dramas of the plains seen
for some time at the local theatres.
John A. Preston, as Tom Lawton.
the foreman of the ranch, has an ex.
cellent chance in his part and plays
the rough uncultured. but good hearted
cowboy, to perfection. He has the at.
mosphere of the plains clinging all
over him and must have made a study
of the part from real life. The sctiou
all through the play is lively in the
extreme and there is not dull line in
the whole show. Miss Lillian Dyer,
who was cast for Geraldine Graham,
the sweet and fair, plays with Pres.
ton to perfection.
The comedy work is well done by
Spokane Ike. who is the champion
liar of the ranch. and Tacoma Tim, a
fun loving but good hearted Irishman.
The character OF Carlos Menoza, q
Mexican stage robber and . horse
thief, is we'll drawn and ]. M. Leaver-
ton. who plays the part. makes the
most of his opportunity. The rest Of
the characters are well drawn and
we'll rendered by the actors cast for
them.
While the action of the drama is
something like the Virginian, 1t por.
trays cowboy characters Of little diff.
erent type, who are not the hgments
of the plsyright's imagination but

Writing from Cairo, Consul-Gen-

previous years took place on August

this year; that is, there will be less
water than usual, owing to lighter
rains in Abyssinia and the upper
Nile country. 1t is not expected that
this will make much difference with
the Egyptian crops, however, owing
to the storage of water at Assouan
and by the Esneh, the Delta and
the Zible barrage. The area of land

IMPROBABLE DREAMS.

He does not care for common things,
Like doing simple chores,
But his fancy takes on wings
And with what ease it scars
As he sits by the kitchen stove,
When daylight is near spent,
And tells how things would start TO move
Ii he were President.
The barn needs shingling, since it leaks
With every shower of rain,
For axle grease the wagon sqkeaks.
And tons of hay have lain
Through half dozen showers or SO
The while his dreams are bent
On how the Trusts would have to 60
If he were President.
His fences from neglect are down,
The cows are in his corn
He saw them, with an angry frown,
A week from yestermorn-
And yet to making some repair
No useful aid he's lent;
He's thinking how the rogues would fare
If he were President.

He started out to milk the cow
A half an hour ago..
And met a neighbor with his plow,
So sat right down to show
How evil are the times and what
This vice of grating meant
And what would be and what would not
If he were President.
The pump is out of order quite,
And will but wheeze and squeak,
And so his willing wife at night
Bears water from the creek,
Because he must have time to think
Not how to pay the rent,
But how he'd make the neighbors blink
If lie were President.
And you, my friend, does your barn leak,
Your fences need repair
Does your pump never wheeze and squeak
From lack of little care?
Or do you sometimes shirk your chores,
And is your fancy bent
On healing economic sores

AN ANIMAL ANGLER-THE OF.
TER

Hunters and trappers have so de-
plete1 fur-bearing animals that few
are left who catch and eat fish; and
1t Is fortunate the otter is now COM
paratively scarce in our northeastern
States, for he is a terrible and per-
severing foe to fish. He is SO dainty
that he will frequently kill several
large fish in a day. devouring only
those portions which best please his
palate, leaving the remainder on the
waterside to become the prey of 9TH
er flsh-loving creatures. For the pur-
suit Of his finny prey the otter is
admirably adapted by nature. The
body is 1.-the and serpentine: the feet
are furnished with broad web that
connects the toes which are of infin-
lite service in propelling the animal
through the water; the tail is long,
broad and fiat: and the short, power
full legs are SO loosely jointed that it
can turn them in almost any direc.
ton. The hair of the body is of two
kinds-One a close, fine, soft fur,
which lies next to the skin, protect
Ing it from extreme heat or cold; and
the other composed of long, shining,
coarse hair; which permits the ami
NAL to glide easily through the water;
the teeth are sharp and powerful, pre-
venting the slippery prey from escap-
ing. SO that the quick and wary fish
