Numerous Theater Indictm ent y.

The grand jury at Kansas City, Mo-,
has returned 169 indictments against per-
sons engaged in theatrical'work, charged
with violating the old Sunday closing
law, many of those indicted being non
resident actors, who will have to return
for trial or forfeit bonds. Each manager
was indicted as many times as he had
actors and employees working at his the
alter the preceding Sunday, on the theory
that the employer violates the law as
much by forcing his employees to work as
does the employe by consenting to work

THE OLD RANCH DAYS.

At a point in the Dakotas, on the
trip which John Burroughs. the nat
uralist, made to Yellowstone Park with
the President, they picked up the man
who had formerly been foreman on
Mr.. Roosevelt's ranch and another
cowboy friend of the old days; and
they rode with the President In his
private car for several hours. He
was as happy with them as a school
boy ever was In meeting old chums,"
Mr.. Burroughs declares In his recent
book, Camping and Tramping with
Roosevelt" He beamed with delight
all over.
The life which those men repre-
sented," continues Mr.. Burroughs, "and
Of which he had himself once formed
a part, meant so much to him; 1t had
entered into the very marrow Of his
being, and could see the JOY Of It

DIsCoURTEsY TO THE CHINESE.

considerable delay.
After giving much thought to the
question this solution presented itself
to me: Have separate fire exit for
each floor. This idea has been carried
through in the plans for the new
school. Each floor, first second, and
/ third will have a separate exit. This
will mean that the pupils from each
4 floor can leave simultaneously, So that
/ instead Of those on the third having to
wait for those on the first and second
