IN THE THEATRES
POLI'S

Mr.. Poli is to be congratulated on his opening weeks bill at his popular little home of amusement in Bridge port. This is a great bill. There is not an act in it that cannot be placed in the category of theadliners.' It is a busy show; from rise to fall of curtain there is something doing all the time and the audience demonstra- tes it's liking for it by its hearty ap- plauses and continued curtain calls. Nearly every act has to respond to curtain calls, which is expressly indic- ative of great satisfaction on the part of the audience. All the scts on the bill are doing their best and are get ting there, in all that the term inn plies.
 The opening sketch of the Williams Thompson Go, is very funny, and sets the audience into good hunor right off There are three men, one color ed star and two straight; the black face is very funny, and all in all, it is one of the best sketches seen here. This is a good show in itself.
 For quiet, cleancut comedy, the sketch ''200 Miles from Broadway" as given by Miss Campbell and MT. ates, cannot be excelled. It depicts stranded actress and a race track gambler spending Christmas day in a lonely village. Mir. Yates has a rich baritone voice, and renders some pop ular selections very artistically. It is a great sketch and should be seen.

to perforn tile Junma prayers. For donning new clothes Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday are regarded as bad days. If any one dons a new dress or puts on a new cloth or allows his tailor to cut piece of cloth on these days, he will live miserable life till that dress or cloth gets torn or is thrown away. If shirt Is torn and if the wearer wants to stitch it, it must be taken of, for if it is stitched while on the body the person will soon die. A Moham- medan will never allow barber to come near him on Tuesdays. for Tues days and Saturdays and Sundays are bad days for shaving. If absolutely necessary he will get himself shaved on Saturday or Sunday, but never on Tuesday, as his star is supposed to fall in blood if he does so. If one receives money or some valuable thing, it is taken with the right hand, for if it is taken with the left the person re- ceiving it is said to forget all about it very soon or to mislay it. A de- vout Mohammedan will not start on a Journey on Wednesdaay, for it is be- ieved he will never return home safe ly if he does so. And it is said that even a snake never ventures out of it's hole on this day.

THE MILITARY SQUARE.
A Formation Borrowed by Wallace
 From the EIeminas.

InS FIcn1tH9Ss
 The greatest of all Scottish anniver- saries is that of Bannockburn, fought in the year 1914. Apart from it's bear ing on the independence of Scotland, the battle will always have an excep- tional interest from the military point of view, as Bannockburn may be said to have been the birthplace of the British square. "Proud Edwards s" army mainly consisted of cavalry, while that of the Scots, on the other hand, was almost exclusively composed of foot folk armed with the spear. and these Bruce threw into ''schil- borrowed by Wallace from the Elem ings. who had employed it with sue cess at Courtray to resist the charge Of the English cavaEy.
 Hitherto the mounted mail clad knight had carried everything before him, but Courtray and Bannockburn proved that he was powerless to break resolute spear armed infantry drawn up in ''schiltrom." or hedgehog, forma- tion, and these two battles revolution ized the tactics of the continent and of our own island. Profiting by the lesson which had been taught them at Bannockburn, the English applied the tactics of the Scots with brilliant success at Crecy and still more at Agincourt. As it was the Scots who may be said to have originated the British square at Bannockburn, so it was they again who at Balaklava were the first to discard it with their thin red line," and now, owing to our changed conditions of warfare, it is discarded ltogether.-London Chron- icle.

Who Appears at Jaclsson's Theatre Tomorrow Afternoon and Evening
 in !sThe Little Terror''

In "The Little Terror which comes to Jackson's tomorrow afternoon and evening, Amelia Weed Holbrook has provided Miss Cecil Spooner with the best starring vehicle that that clever actress has had in many seasons. ''The Little Terror wa< originally a short story which appeared in Harper's Weekly under the name of Fitz James Mccarthy and it was in this form that Miss Holbrook first saw the wonderful dramatic possibilities offered by the story.
 The scenes of "The Little Terror are laid in New Mexico. this proves a new locale for a dramatic offering and special attention has been given to a truthful delineation of life as it is in this new country. The characters of the new play have been drawn by a master mind; the plot has been con- ceiyed by a writer that is thoroughly conversant with the subject in hand.
 Special attention has been given to the staging of the play. it has been entirely under the personal supervision of the producer. Charles E. Fslaney.

A Snake Story.

The family were at dinner when there came a tap at door seldom opened. Winning no attention, it was repeated and again a third time, though more softly, and then the door was swung back and. behold, there was a snake, knocking at the portals of hospitality! Down upon its head. in conformity with the decree of tradi- ton and with Ezra's understanding of scripturai direction. crunched a Brit ish boot. It was a mother snake, who, having bravely overcome her fear of man, was seeking sustenance, not for herself perhaps, though she was starv- ing. but more likely for the little ones that were found in the grass by the brook. Thus for once. at any rate. did the craftiness of the devil succumb to the instinct of motherhood.-Georg B. NJ. Harvey in North American Re view.
