Good In Either Event.

Gen. Dabney H. Maury tells in his
"Recollections Of a Virginian" OF an
old lady In Fredericksburg who was
reduced to taking in boarders in order
to make both ends meet. On one oc-
casion OF peculiar stress, the larder
was so empty that the good lady took
to her bed and summoned her servant.
Nancy" she said, there's nothing
In the house for my boarders to eat
except mush. But give them that II
they are Christians, they will accept 1t
In resignation and thankfulness. And
II they are not Christians, Il is a deal
too good for them"

A True Story.

"On my travels in Venezuela" said
anew York man, II stayed in hotel
with a young man in whose family
there was the faint Of leprosy, though
he apparently did not have IL. One
night sitting at dinner he became
angry at a waiter and brought his
hand down on the table with full force.
He instantly realized that he did not
feel the blow. and sat looking at his
hand, his face whitening with horror.
Give me your knife, Bob. he said to
his chum. He grabbed the pocket
knife In a frenzy and stabbed the side
OF his hand with vicious cuts from
finger tip to wrist. You may not know
that leprosy appears In the side Of the
hand, numbness being sign. The
man did not feel the cuts He arose
from the table, knocking over his
chair, rushed out into the courtyard
OF the hotel. and we heard the quick
tang OF a revolver shot, telling us how
he had conquered the lepers curse by
ending his life"

Out In Burma and the far east.
where sandalwood is worth its weight
In silver, the pestiferous ant is valu-
able assistant to the loggers of that
precious timber. The hard and fra.
grant heartwood alone has value, but
as the tree grows this valuable heart
is overlaid by soft and worthless lay

When tree is felled and cut into
lengths the loggers let the timber lie.
At once the ants begin work upon the
soft wood which is sappy and sweet
enough to attract them, In few

OF the largest butts, the ants deliver
the heartwood free OF ell the worthless

no break in the good programs that

On the bill are these acts: The Three
Sisters Macarte, Dixon Brothers, Rock
way and Conway, Thomas ]. KeOgh

Lockwood and Bryson, the kinodrome
and orchestra.
The headline act. the Three Sisters
Macarte, are trio of English beau
ties who have recently left their ma
tive land to win fresh laurels in Amer
lea. The critics have pronounced their
act a unique, artistic, clever, acrobatic
turn, and if they live up TO their prom
Use they should furnish a verita BILE SEN
satiOn. They have an aerial act which
is said to be the acme of perfection,
finish and grace.
Dixon Brothers are a pair of Eu-
ropean comedians whose act is filled
with musical novelties and comedy
work.
Then there are Rockway and Conway,
singers and comedians. Their act is
said to be original and out of the or
binary. They have new songs which
they render well, and a number of new
stories and gags which they serve in
an entertaining manner.
Thomas J. Keogh and Ruth Francis
present a One-act play, entitled The
Ward Heller" This playlet is said to
be mixture of comedy and melo-
drama, and the way Keogh uses TWEEN

unmiXed joy. In fact, it has proven a
revelation TO most people. Miss Fran

PROMISE OF PRESS AGENTS.
Lew Dockstader.

The Salt Lake theatre will have a
carnival of fun next Friday and Sat
urday, with matinee Saturday, when
Lew DOckstader and his able fun
makers win present a great program
of minstrelsy. The first part is given
i'm a gorgeous setting. appropriately
named THE Temple of Gems" The
quality as well as quantity of the vo-
cal numbers has never been equalled
by any minstrel company. There is
not a poor voice in the entire COM
pany, and the solo numbers, quar-
tettes and chorus work are performed
with rare sweetness and skill. All the
comedians have funny numbers, Dock
stader's contribution being an exceed
ingly clever song, with ringing cho-
rus entitled, when the Hammer on
the Anvil Rings" But the special fea-
tuTe of the program is Dockstader's
appearance in the skit called "A Dull
Day I'm the White House." in which he
presents his funny makeup as the
president, who has formally permitted
him TO run the government for a day.
DOckstader takes advantage of his OPP
portunity to discuss topics of current
moment. incidentally, he is likely TO
get on TO the political situation in our
own town by phone, and rap local po-
htical affairs with a keenness of OBJ
servation that is sure to make the au-
dience sit up and take notice. The
other comedians Of the company, Neil
O'Brien, Vic Richards, Pete Detzel
and Eddie MaZzier. have opportunities
10 display their mirth-provOking quail
ties in two skits called Quick Lunch
and Joining the Elks." The company
of singers and dancers is the largest,
as well as the best ever seen here, and
both appear to find advantage in an
attractive spectacle called The Land
of Nicotine" and a dress drill of West
Point cadets entitled "ReveiIle at West
Point"

tails of their deliberations, but state
thatit was unanimously decided by a
majority of the male members of the
Quiniault and allied tribes that al
effort be made to secure the removal
of Superintendent Van Voorhees,.
II necessary, the Indians state, an
emissary will be sent to Washington,
ID. c.. to lay before the officials of the
department of the interior and Secre-
tary ]. r. Garfield the complaints
which they have to make against the
agent in charge OF their reserve.
The detailed charges and grievances
which the Indians have against Su-

general term of incompetency. In

coma is investigating the matter and
will report to Washington, D. c., the
results OF his investigation.
