den with Rheumatism.

WOOnga, Ont.-That the simple life
is not always simple or filed with un-
alleged joy was brought to the atten-
ton of Woonga villagers when they
we're called upon to 60 to Big Cat lake
and bring Eugene Hardy, a trapper,
who for nearly three weeks had been
slowly starving because bedridden
with an attack of rheumatism. That
the man is alive to-day is considered
remarkable.
Hardy, who, in spite of his name,
is anything but robust, was found
by fellow trapper through the
merest chance, and was then in such
a wasted condition that it was impos.
sible to take him out of the woods
for six days. BY administering coarse
broths made from venison and part.
ridge bones, he finally strengthened
his charge enough to move him over
20 miles of trails on litter. From
that point the trip to civilization was
made by OK and horse teams
Peter Lovejoy, the woodsman who
fortunately came upon Hardy, was
prospecting for new camp when he
discovered traps with dead animals
in them. His experienced eye told
him that the animals had been dead
from one to two weeks and they had
probably been caught some days be-
fore death occurred. The latter fact
was pretty conclusively established
by the wasted condition of the bodies.
Lovejoy Immediately deducted that
the owner of the traps had met with
mishap and he set out to find him.
At the end of two days search he
heard couple of wolves bowling in a
sheltered ravine and little later he
came upon small cabin built against
ledge of rock. There was no indica.
tiOn OF human life about the place.
Snow, untracked save by wolves and
other marauders, covered the ground
but pail turned upside down, showed
that someone had placed it by the
door long after the first snow had
fallen.
When Lovejoy opened the door
which had been securely caught with
a drop latch, Hardy was seen lying on
his bunk apparently dead. He was
white, emaciated and still The cabin
itself was in disorder. Most of the
rough furniture had been used for
fuel and broken tables and chairs
lay strewn near the fireplace Some
potatoe skins and strips of deer hide

had been made to grind them A bear
skin, three blankets and an old coat
covered Hardy while another skin lay
within easy reach.
Lovejoy first determined that his
fellow trapper was alive and then he
set about to care for him. First he
built rousing fire and when this had
begun to warm the cabin he went to
grove of spruce nearby and shot a
couple of partridges. A rabbit was
also knocked over With this supply
of provisions and some coffee and
jerked venison from his own sack he
prepared substantial meal. The prin-
cipal dish was rich but coarse SCUM.
and when cupful had been forced
down Hardy's throat he opened his
eyes and looked about.

then relapsed into a stupor from
which he did not arouse for several
hours. On awakening he was fed
more soup. but it was not until tho
following morning that he could give
an account of himself In the night
wolves appeared, but they made no
effort to enter the cabin.
Hardy's story when finally told was
pitiful in the extreme. He said that
he had begun experiencing twinges of
rheumatism in one arm early in the
fall, but as they did not increase he
paid little attention to them. Three
weeks before he was found he got
soaked in a chilling rain and next
morning was in a high fever. Whe1,
he tried to arise he was attacked by
shooting pains in legs and arms, and
it was with great difficulty that he
could prepare his breakfast. He got
through with the ordeal after intense
suffering and managed to gather lit.
tie wood.
Work was out of the question and
Hardy remained in his bunk for three
days, getting out only to feed himself
and keep the fire burning. All this
time the fever kept up and the sup
ply of wood and provisions dimin
ished. To make matters worse wolves
put in an appearance and howled
about the cabin both day and night

To Race for Coffin as Prize.

Winsted, Gonna race for coffin,
not to see which will occupy it first,
but to determine the ownership, will
be pulled off here Saturday, May 2, at
two p. m.
The contestants are Charles Hyde
and Charles Willard, each of whom
thinks he can cover seven miles in
quicker time than the other. The
men arranged for the contest, and
agreed that the loser shall buy the
winners coffin.
The course selected is once around
Kingland lake, go as you please, but
on foot. Hyde is about foot shorter
than Millard,. and in the event of his
losing, would have to pay more for a
coffin than would Willard in case he
lost. Furthermore, Willard is EN-.
ployed where casket trimmings are
manufactured.

"Glorious Betsy"

Admirers of Mary Mannering, who are
legion, are looking forward to an event
Of unusual interest in the forthcoming
engagement of this delightful actress
in her new and successful American
play. GLORIOUS Betsy" by Rida john
son Young, author of Brown of Haf-
ward" Boys of Company B." etc. She
win be seen at the Salt Lake theatre
next Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Glorious Betsy has for its central
figure that radiaRt belle OF yesterday,
Betsy Patterson. who made for herself
one of the most remarkable careers
ever maintained by an American WO-
man. From the position of a Baltimore
belle, whose wit, pride and rather dar-
ing independence made her the admir-
ing comment of all fashionable society
in America, she sprang suddenly into
international notice by her marriage
with Jerome Bonaparte, the brother of
Napoleon, just at the time when he
was proclaimed emperor of the
French.
In arranging this interesting story for
the stage. its author does not go into
the darker side of Betsy's life, but
deals with those days when her name
was the toast of every gathering of
note from Baltimore to New Orleans.
II takes us back to the old Sweet
Springs of Virginia when that resort
was the gathering place of the best in
wealth and culture of which America
could boast.
1t is at the springs that Betsy first
meets Captain Bonaparte, who, weary
of the endless round of attention which
he has received as the guest of the
American nation, has Travelled to this
out-of- the-way resort incognito and
away from restraint.
Jerome becomes infatuated with
Betsy Patterson and manages to have
himself employed during her stay there
to give her lessons in French. Betsy be-
comes intensely interested in her tuLor
but her pride and ambition fight
against acknowledging that she could
love a man in such an inferior position
She coquettes with him, as she does
with half a dozen others, and leaves
the springs ignorant of Jerome's true
personality, and deeply offended with
him because of his refusal to accom-
pany her party TO Baltimore, where
great preparations are being made for
the reception of Captain Bonaparte. 1t
is here, at an elaborate fete given IN his
honor, that Betsy first discovers that
her tutor and the much talked of
brother of Napoleon are one. Previous
to this discovery her pride, overcome
by the afdent WOOlHS OF HeF supposed
tutor, Betsy has confessed her love for
him.
They are betrothed, and the rest of
the play deals with the efforts Of Ma
poleons agents to prevent the mar
riage; their fruitless voyage to France,
where Napoleon refused to allow Betsy
to land, and the final happy triumph OF
the young lovers.
The Shuberts, who are directing Miss
Mannering's tour, have given tho play
a scenic inyestiture that cannot lie
equaled on any a stage, and u support
ing company Of the very best.

"The Factory Girl"

4 story of love and labor, happiness
and sorrow, intrigue, vilIainy and of
the victory for truth in the end, will
be told al the Grand this week by The
odore Lorch and company in a NAM
9th scenic production of Charles E.
Blaney's great labor play, The Fac
tory Girl"
Few men are better qualified to treat
on the lives of the employees of the
great industrial establishments so COM
mon in the east than Mr.. Blaney He
has made this field of work practically
a life study, and his sympathies first
and last have been with the men, wo-
men and girls who are working their
lives away in the great brick factory
buildings of New England. True, the
majority of them are well paid for their
work, yet their lives are filled with in
cidents and events which, properly
handled, dramatically form themes for
the greatest plays from the human in
terest> standpoint ever written.
So it is with the factory girl Mr.
Blaney has evolved a great sensation
al rapid-fire play that has scored a
splendid success. His story deals with
the love of a rich mans son. hard
working, manly young chap. for one of
the girls employed in his fathers
aluminium factory. The action runs
through love, hate, villainy and COM
edy Particularly strong is the latter
element in the play, and this phase OF
the story is to be handled by Mr.. Torch
himself, in the character of Charles
Wilde, an insurance agent. 1t is an
excellent part, and great things may
be expected of Mr.. Lorch for the COM
ing week. His comedy work is marked
by, "a pleasing individuality and person
atty that makes him irresistible. The
play is to be deliberately staged.
The third act shows the interior Of
the aluminium works and electric plant
belonging to the elder Hartman. The
great trip hammer viii be seen, whiz-
zing dynamos. belts, FORCES and half a
dozen other machines. 1t is in this act
