man and beast, and they made
laborious detours, wallowing trails
through tangled willows waist
deep in the snow smother, or
clinging precariously to the over
hanging bluffs. AS they reached
the river s source the sky black
ened suddenly, and great clouds
of snow rushed over the bleak
hills, boiling down into the val
ley with a furious draught. They
flung up their fimsy tent, only to
have it fattened by the force of
the gale that cut like well-honed
steel. Frozen spots leaped out
white on their faces, while their
hands stiffened ere they could
fasten the guy strings.
Finally, having lashed the
tent bottom to the protruding
willow tops, by grace of heavy
lifting they strained their flap
ping shelter up sufficiently to
crawl within.
"By Gar! She's blow hup
ver' queeck, " yelled Pierre, as he
set the ten-pound sheet-iron stove,
its pipe swaying drunkenly with
the heaving tent.
"Good ting she hit us in
the brush. " He spoke as calmly
as though danger was distant,
and a moment later the little box
was roaring with its oil-soaked
kindlings.
"Will this stove burn green

"Surel She s good stove.

They rubbed the stiff spots
from their cheeks, then, seizing
the axe, Willard crawled forth
into the storm and dug at the
base of the gnarled bushes. Oc-
casionally a shrub assumed the
proportions of a man. s wrist
but rarely. Gathering an arm
full, he bore them inside, and
twisting the tips into withes, he
fed the fire. The frozen twigs
sizzled and snapped, threatening
to fail utterly, but with much
blowing he. sustained a blaze
sufficient to melt a pot of snow.
Boiling was out of the question,
but the tea leaves became soaked
and the bacon cauterized.
Pierre freed and fed the
dogs. Each gulped its dried sal
mon, and, curling in the lee of
the tent, was quickly drifted
over. Next he cut blocks from
the solid bottom snow and built
a barricade to windward. Then
he accumulated a NOW of willow
tops without the tent fly. All the
time the wind drew down the

This play has not been seen here for
years. 1t is an amusing comedy and has
stood the test since lS41, when 1t made a
big hit in London.
The Yale Dramatic Club is headed by a
Washington boy this year, T. L. Riggs.
the son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Riggs.
Mr.. Riggs is president of the organization
and has taken an active part in making
the coming performance success.
The club has been well trained. The
cast is the result of a strenuous COM
petition In which several score students
had part.
IT is the custom at Yale to take COM
petitions seriously, if joyfully. The con-
test for places OH the dramatic team is
just as hard as that for places on the
foot ball team.
The club will bring its own orchestra
with it. The orchestra is made mp of

orchestra travels with the club where

MRS. HENDERSON'S IDEA
TINE RIPE FOR CHANGE IN
FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
Suggests Citizen Governor With
Ten Councilmen Appointed
From Dwellers in City.

The matter OF providing new form OF
government for the District OF Columbia
was given consideration at the last meet
ing of the Sixteenth Street Association,
at which Mrs Carter, wife of Senator
Carter, presided.
A report on the subject by Mrs. john
3. Henderson, unanimously adopted, re-
cites that TO time will he as proptious
as the present for putting into effect
new form of government here, las we
have an open-minded broad-Sauged
President and two vacancies on the board
Of Commissioners .
It is stated that the commissionership
plan will soon be inadequate, as the pop
ulation of the District will ere long reach
the million mark Under the present
| form, Mrs. Henderson adds, I'm present
| ing our wishes or claims to the Commits
| sioners or Congress, though always
| treated most politely, We still naturally
| feel like intrusive beggars. Do We hap
| pen to own property We feel more hui
INFLATED than ever, as If u subject for
any kind OF suspicion.
"Apd we are of some Importance. How
does the District of Columbia-the state
| of Columbia-compare in population with
| other states of the Union? The census
of 1900 shows that the District of Column
bia had in population near 2s0,0p. 1t
has now over 34o,GW
."The state of Wyoming had 5000.
Nevada 5000, Idaho $4,000. Delaware
$4,000, Utah 276.DD Montana 5000
six states, as we see, with less population,
There are also five states with but a lit
tie more population, as follow: North
Dakota, $4,000: South Dakota. 100000:
Vermont, ZOO; Rhode Island 42s,ooo;
New Hampshire All 600.
4 plan of government suggested for
the Distrist that the President should
appoint as governor an actual resident,
also about seven citizens from different
sections of the District. also three or
more at large as board of councllneh,
to serve without pay or SO little compen-
sation that IL would not be object.
| The election of the counciln1en. it is
explained. would be objectionable to
many congressman, and a bill with that
| proviso would fail of passage.

Yale graduates. Many look forward with
interest to the coming of the dramatic
club.
To number of them it is a new or
ganization. since it has been active only
for the last dozen years. But in that
time the club has become SO closely iden-
titled with the college life that the old
grads are anxious TO see just what it Is
doing.
President Taft. one of the enthusiastic
Yale men. has been invited to attend the
performance. 1t is expected he will be
there. His elder son. Robert Taft. is a
senior at Yale and will be here to see the
play.

To The Forum: The article con-
corning me which appeared in last

respects, Is absolutely false. The
"odes" were limited solely to Nellie
Consella, who has been isulting me for
days by making obscene GESTURES when
ever passed the hotel The ''odes"
were written with the view of putting
a stop to her insulting GESTURES. but
entirely without avail, for the insults
have continued.
The article says: THE same line
OF trouble has been experienced in con-
nection with Mr. Hubbelrs actions in
Island Park" etc. Every word con-
tanned In the article with reference
to myself and Island Park Is irfsinuat-
ing false and therefore slanderous

tions, or else make public retraction,
