out to witness the historical drama OF
the day. Mr., Harris as Boone was

from Monday night and it was one that
was SO true to nature and the way he
played it that no one can ever forget
it. The entire company was seen to
good advantage and won many new

stage settings were most attractive,
and artistic and all special scenery
was used as on Monday night,
The fight with the wolves Mas one
of the most realistic we have ever
seen on the local stage and when we
think how Mr. Harris has gone into
every detail to give his, patrons the
very best for their MONEY we cannot
wonder at the large audiences he is
nightly playing 30.
The specialties were all new and an
entire change from the previous night,
and b and Doris again made quite
a hif With their clever work in this
line The moving pictures and illus
trated songs also won much applause
and are well rendered
Today matinee will BE- given when
The World Against Him" will be
presented and it is one Of the best
plays Mr.. Harris has, being well suit

ing a most beautiful story. Tonight

Daniel and the Lions.

An old negro preacher in Kentucky
was dilating upon events in the Bible
which had a geological trend. He de-
scribed the deluge and how all the ami
mails. two by two, went into the ark
and were saved. Then he discussed
tn incident of Jonah and the whale.
Balaam's ass and finally the exploit of
Daniel, who entered the den of raven
ing lions and emerged unframed. His
auditors listened with interest. and
some of them seemed to have their
doubts as to the authenticity Of the
tales
Finally one Of the younger negroes
rose up and inquired, "Say, pahson,
wuz dem lions jest like the kind we
has now?"
sCose not, cose not" retorted the
preacher. irritated at having his dis
course interrupted. ''Dey was 3. c..
meaning befo' circuses."
The explanation was sufficient and
satisfactory Buffalo Commercial.

A Bee That Diqs.

3 DR.. John B. Smith gives the name OF
digger bee" to blue green bee hav-
ing a metallic sheen. which may be
seen fitting about sandy places during
the first heats of May. With the aid OF
liquid plaster Of paris poured into the
holes that it makes In the ground he
has followed the bee through a Won
derful course of digging. The work is
done by females. and its primary OBJ
ject is to. provide protected cells in
which the young are bred. The bee
makes tunnel quarter Of an inch in
diameter, which after starting for a
few inches on a slope runs straight
down into the ground. At the depth OF
q foot or more short lateral tunnels are
driven. and at the ends Of these are
formed the breeding cells. Having pro-
vided for her young. the bee ''contin-
ues to dig down and yet farther down
until she is four feet or even more be-
meath the surface, dying from sheer
exhaustion about the time her first
progeny begin to make their way. to
the surface."-London Mail.

Corn, Oats and Wheat as "seeds."

School children in the crowded part
Of New York do not speak of corn and
oats and wheat by those names. but al
ways refer to them as seeds" The
other day in one of the big schools the
teacher was talking to her pupils about
gardening. She ended with request
for each pupil to bring a few seeds the
next day to be planted in the window
boxes. The following morning the chill
dren appeared mostly with either oats.
wheat or corn. While putting few
grains of each in the earth the teacher
referred to them by their familiar
names. One OF the girls In the class
took courage to "set the teacher right
and said: Some one must "a told you
wrong, teacher. That" pointing to the
wheat, is bread seed. an that yellow
stuff amt corn; it's pigeon seed. We
always call them that in the BLOCK
where we New York Sun.

Baked Cheese OmeIets.

Baked cheese omelets are most appe-

ways. A good recipe calls for pint
Of milk, four large eggs. one heaping
tablespoonful Of -four, one of butter
and a teaspoonful of salt. Let the
milk heat on the stove until it reaches
the boiling point. Beat the butter and
-four to cream and gradually mix, it
with the hot milk, taking care that no
Jumps form. Cook the mixture for five
minutes. Let it cool and add the egg
after beating the yolks and the whites
separately. The whites should be beat
en- to as stiff froth as possible. Pour
the omelet into buttered dish. sprin-
kle the top with grated cheese and fold
some of the cheese through the omelet.
The more cheese used the better. Let
the omelet bake for half an hour or
until it is solid, so that it will not

MORE SLEUTHS TO

kotas, will double its force Of secret
service men until snow falls.
George D. Bartlett, secretary of the
Wisconsin Bankers Association, re-
turned from Minneapolis where he at
tended meetingpof the protective or
ganization.
"The number of bank robberies os
late has been unusual, and it was de-
cided that extraordinary efforts are
necessary to curb their work." said
Mr.. Bartlett. Our force of detectives
will be doubled The work of bank
robbers usually let's up after snow
falls, as it is impossible for bandits TO
sleep in the open air, or in desterted
buildings.
1.-THE twin cities are hotbeds for
bank bandits. They jump into Wis

berry, and then rush back, preferably to

said, regularly for three days on flesh

a sweet. sad song. she flew away.
And she never came back Her off

Mended His Manners.

A certain English officer is noted for
his ready wit and quickness in rep
artee. In the very early days of his
career he was ordered to Bombay and
was attached to the staff of the then
commander in chief as A. d. q.
Shortly after his arrival, at func-
tion at the government house, new
military secretary who, in the con-
scious pride Of his new position, had
a hearty contempt for subalterns of all
degrees. with CLASSY stare through
his eyeglass. offered him two fingers to
shake.
The A. d. c., quite unabashed, look
ed at him for moment or two and
then said genially:
Hang it all, major. the governor
gives me three.' u
The whole room was convulsed, and
the military secretary; now a Icolonel,
profited by the hint and mended his
manners. but he never forgave the A
d. C.-London Tit-Bits.

There is story told Of Bjornstjerne
Bjornson that. arriving at a late hour
at the town Of Bergen, which was en-
fete to receive him. he vOuchsafed to
the expectant, people no finer words
Of wisdom than a general recommen-
dation to go to bed.
In vain they appealed, to him for
ssong or sentiment" The great Bis
marck. said he, gave the same advice
under conditions all similar. and what
was good enough for Berlin must SUI,
flee for Bergen.
Three years later, on visiting the
town for the second time. the master
novelist found deserted city. Not a
light burned in the dismal railway
station, no banners waved, no address
cs were read by portly burgomasters
In vain Bjornson asked for cab.
''They have all gone to bed" was
the reply. And so Bergen remembered
