MISS WINANS IN eff I WE'RE
KING"
Entertainment Will Be Given Next
Wednesday Evening Under
Auspices of Tourist Club

What promises to be one of the
most enjoyable entertainments of the
season will take place next Wednes-
day evening at the theatre. The
Tourist club. literary and social or
ganization of ladies, announces
their only public entertainment OF
the year, for which occasion they
have made arrangements with Miss
Mary Winans to give her impersona-
ton of eff I Were King
This is the drama used for so
long by E. H. Sothern as the leading
piece in his repertoire. The plot is
a powerful one that grips the hearers
attention from the start and holds it
increasingly to the end. Yet the in
tensity of the many strong climaxes
is charmingly relieved by an under
current of delightful humor. The
four acts will make strong test of
Miss Winans' powers OF endurance
as we'll as interpretative ability, but
she has already shown her caliber to
the satisfaction of the Wenatchee
public, and there is no question OF
her measuring up fully to the de-
mands of this masterpiece.
Interspersed between the acts,
solos will be rendered by Prof. C. O..
Brownell, the tenor, who has lately
come among us and made so many
friends, and by the ever popular
violinist, Mr.. Louis Crollard.

BRYAN To RECEIVE
. 100000 SALARY
HAS SCHEDULE OF
LECTURES AND SPEECHES
MONTHS THAT WILL BRING
HIM IN GOLDEN HARVEST.
(By Associated Press. }

CHICAGO, Feb. 19-William Jen-
nings Bryan is going to smash into
smithereens all public speaking and
Chautauqua lecturing records during
1909. If his voice holds out he ex-
poets to make 100000, or as much
as President-Elect Taft will receive
under the new bill in congress for
his first year in Office.
Mr.. Bryan began his record-break-
ing talk tour yesterday afternoon
with an address to an audience of g.
900 men at the Third Presbyterian
church, Ashland boulevard and Og-
den avenue.
Starts on Long Trail.
An hour after he had finished he
left Chicago for Des Moines, Iowa,
where he is scheduled to do more
talking. From Des Moines he will
go to another city, where arrange
ments have been made for him to
talk.
And so the silver-tongued orator
Of Nebraska will keep on travelling
and talking at least four or five days
out of every week and sometimes
every day in the week throughout the
spring and summer and until the
SHOWS of another winter have come
During 1909 Mr. Bryan will make
nearly three times as many speeches
as he did in the last presidential
campaign. In the last few weeks
he has signed contracts to make doz-
ems OF speeches in places where he
has never before appeared.
In addition. of course, he will ap-
pear during the summer at Chautau-
quas and other places, where he is
familiar figure.
1t has been estimated that Mr..
Bryan's forthcoming speaking tour
will require him to travel 10000
miles or more, and before next Jan
uary he will have delivered nearly
500 speeches and lectures.
Pay for Speeches.
AS for the compensation, accord
ing TO the terms of the contracts
which Mr. Bryan has signed, his
profits for the year will reach a total
Of 100000.
When he has completed all his
present speaking engagements Mr.
Bryan will have uttered somewhere
in the neighborhood of 100000
words, or enough to fill fifty ten-page
newspapers of seven columns each,
eliminating headlines and all adver-
Using matter.
No other public speaker in years
has done what Mr.. Bryan expects TO
do in the same period of time. On
his remarkable speechmaking trip
Mr.. Bryan will be accompanied part
of the time by his wife.

Mistletoe Farming.

Ceuzy, In Brittany, annually becomes
a center Of attraction for the mistletoe
pickers. and the poplars that line the
hillsides round about the village show an
abundance of the precious evergreen, the
sight Of which would fill the heart of
many a Norman mistletoe gatherer with
envy. Here, however. the trees are
lofty. and by no means SO easy to despoil

apple trees In northern France which
yield most of the harvest destined to find

them to get q firm grip of the trunk or

skilled climbers make their way from
branch to branch with monkey-like
agility and no fear OF meeting with an
accident seems to disturb their euuanim-
ity.
Needless to say, even with the as.
sistance OF these artificial claws practice
and experience are required, and many a
novice who. attracted by the apparent
simplicity Of the feat, has recklessly
rushed into first attempt at griffe-

see with what rapidity q nimble climber

KNOWN BY HIS TIE.
Significance to Londoner Of Head
gear and Neckwear.

From the London Mirror
When, some years ago, one of the
doorkeepers at a London theater retired
from his draughty calling and was PEN
stoned OF by the management, it ap-
peared that this old man. in all the
years OF his service, had never given q
"pass-out' check to any one of the thou
sands of men who must have passed his
doorway.
But he never made a mistake. No one
entitled to return was ever refused. and
no one could pass in at the end OF the
interval who had not passed out at the
beginning of it.
The secret of the old mans success was
a curious one. He depended on his MEM
DRY entirely. but he had trained his MEM
DRY in a very curious way. He did not
remember the men by their faces, their
clothes, their hats. their boots, or by any
popularity of gait or appearance. Mani
testify such a feat would have been I'M
possible. for ordinary ''pitties" are very
much alike in these details.
He took the one detail on which men
do differ. and remembered them by that
he recognized them by their neckties.

AS TO CLIMATE CHANGES.
None Discoverable Within Historic
Times.

From the Paris Cosmos
The explorations in central Asia have
laid bare the ruins Of once fiourishing
cities. NJ. Boutquin, in the French jour-
nal Ciel ct Terre. proves. by historical
evidence and modern scietifc discoveries,
that the abandonment Of these regions by
the human race was brought about by
causes entirely unrelated to such sup
posed meteorological changes as a gen.
eral cooling Of climates or a progressive
desiccation of the globe. In Europe, for
example, sensitive lowering Of the tenn
perature and decrease in the precipitation
of rain and snow would have caused q
we'll marked and continuous recession Of
glaciers, but no such recession Is shown
by the records Of more than 1000 years.

Of the Tyrol. These mines yielded album
dainty until the middle Of the sixteenth
century. after which date their produc-
tiveness rapidly diminished because the
mouths of shafts became covered with
ice. A shaft sunk at this epoch was
covered in 1870 by a glacier sixty-five
feet thick. Resistance to the invasion Of
the ice soon became impossible. In the
eighteenth century the glacier was more
than 900 feet high and in 1875 1t had at

The international conference at the

reminder that only about one-quarter Of
the land area in Our globe is accurately
surveyed. and that outside Europe, the
United States and our overseas possess
sions there are practically no maps exist
ing based on exact trigonometrical sur
-veys. Should today's conference agree
to commence an International map of the
world, the scale chosen will In all proba-
bility be slightly less than sixteen miles

China and South America has already
been mapped on this scale, and any
smaller scale would be of little use. The

whole Of India, with the exception Of q
portion of the. Rajphtana desert. on the
generous scale OF one mile to the inch.
