BREED THEATER.
"Her Dramatic Career Spirited Pic.
 ture of French Stage.

One of the brightest and best pie lures seen at the Breed theater this season was shown last evening to a large audience, it being entitled Her Dramatic Career.
 This picture opens with some re- markable scenes taken during vio- lent snowstorm, and shows Paris struggling under a small sized bliz- gard the entire action taking place upon the streets, and shows autos snow laden scurrying to and fro, and the distances being many times hidden by the density of the storm.
 The dramatic action is supplied by some very versatile characters and is most excellent at all times the set tings being accurate and sumptuous.
 The great picture of the Chicago board of trade, entitled The Game, is very exciting. and the famous scene in the pit is extremely lively and cor rect. there being a splendid touch of romance introduced which serves to cleverly bind together the many strong scenes which are filled with many bus mess incidents.
 Miss Wolcott is singing the pretty illustrated song, Lady Love, which is | accompanied by excellent slides taken in the south, the music being catchy and tempted the audience to sing the pretty chorus with her, she retaining by request the brilliant song in Ital- ian, entitled The Butterfly.

 Claude and Marion Cleveland have a snappy line of talk and new jokes which keeps the audience with them from start to finish. They are the possessors of sweet voices and receive much applause on their many songs

It stood near the front of the mansion of MT. Mc- CulIoch, Ardwell House, Kirkcudbright. J. Nisbet, who sends the news to a contemporary, says it is quite hope less to think of being able to prop it up again and give it a new lease of life. He suggests that whatever seed caa still be collected from 1t should he gathered now and sown next spring, SO that a. new generation may be rais- ed from the old tree round which so many Associations linger.-Westmin- ster Gazette.

CONFUSING PLACE NAMES. How Geography Gets Mixed Among
 the Languages of Europe.

A writer pleads for a sfmplification of the names If cites and countries of Europe by some agreed system that will give uniformity. He argues that if all their railways would agree to call places by their local names the reform would be well begun, and with this beginning the various governments might order that in the schools and in public documents the names of the places be used that are employed by the dwellers therein. But even here almost insurm ountable obstacles might arise. Who but a Dane would be able to call Copenhagen Klobnhaven, an Italian to call Florence F'irenze. or German to call Austria Oesterriech? To the Italian London is Londra and to the Frenchman Londres.
 The French are perhaps the chief of lenders. as they make every name over into their own language as far as they can with the least possible regard to it's native spelling. It was our own Washington whose name sorely tried the French tongue and made 1t nec- essary for appearance sake to add the letter "W" to the language, though the pronunciation remained as French as ever, Quashington. Then came the Russian campaign, which gave them more familiarity with the letter wv" and later came Wellington, whom for a time they spelled Villainton.
 The Germans come next as ortho- graphic and ortheopic offenders. The city of Liege in Belgium they shame lessly call Leutieh; Venice, Venedig, and Milano in Italian becomes Milan in English and Maitland in German. One could hardly expect the Germans to change the name Oesterrich to the English Austria or the French Aut- riche, but really something ought to be brought to bear to lift from the United States the burden they put on us in the awful name, it almost sounds like aA anathema, Die Vereinigten Staatenl
 The beautiful city of Geneva is known in various tongues of travellers as Geneve Genf and Ginevra; Anvers as Antwerp; Aix-la- -Chapelle as Aach- en; Hungary as Hongrie, t.ngarn and JJngheria: Flushing as Llessingue, Vliessingen and Flessinga: Alsace as Flsass; Lorraine as Lothringen; May ence as Mainz, and so on to the end of a long chapter.
 When the French geographeer sets at work on the American map he does some wonderful photographic stunts. He it was who attempted to harness the noble Wabash with the designation of Quabache, and followed this up with names of other streams and places in which the letters "Ou" were made to | take the place of the noble letter w, | and when, after going across our con- | tinent committing one photographic in- | dignity after another, he put the mas | ter stroke of opprobium on the Aleu-
 tian Islands by calling them the

Mark Twain at "A.

Good old Mark Twain "A years of agei Who of us,. willing as we may be to admit that it was years and years ago that we laughed till we cried over the adventures of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, can think of the author and creator of those immortal young sters ever being an .old man" And for the matter of that, he isn't old. His heart is as young and full of music as in the days when the Jump ing Frog of Calaveras convulsed the whole world, or the Pink trip, slip for a three-cent fare turned the country into a nation of gibbering what-you- may-caH-its.
 Is there another man-was there ever another man-who, knowing so much of the sorrow that rends the heartstrings, could keep his heart in tune with the joybells of life and ra- diate happiness and good fellowship upon all his fellowmen?
