The boys had gone down to the
river to fetch water. and I, TAX
ing a temporary rest, was scanning
the veldt with my glass. ] could make
out some s%pringbuck, also a few
l~lartebeeste; but what riysted my at
tention was q small bunch of gems
buck in the far distance. We did not
need meat, and there did not appear to
be any bushmen just then about to
warrant any sheer destruction of
game; but gemsbuck, although fairly
plentiful away in the interior of the
desert, are hard enough to get, and to
see them was to want a head. My
horse was in hard condition and had
had some stifish gallops recently, SO
/ saddled him up at once and deter
mined to give chase as soon as the
''boys"-my two Kafirs-retnrned.
Telling them to get on with the skerm,
L set out at q canter, keeping well to
the right to get the advantage of the
wind. The veldt was SO p e that
stalking would have been hopeless,
whereas, by the aid of my horse as a
kind of blind, ! might possibly get a
shot before the gemsbuck' took the
alarm, even though they might see us,
so long as they did not catch my
faint. However, I had to go more di,
rectly towards them than wished, for
fear OF stampeding the h~artebeeste
into them. These latter took the
alarm and ambled leisurely away when

A Clever Christmas Scheme.

About the cleverest Christmas scheme of the year has been devised by a Good Fellow" in Plainfield. He has published an open letter to all other jolly good fellows in that city, sug- gesting that instead of going out for a good time and spending from $10 to $300 they just send a letter to this origi- nal Good Fellow" through one of the local papers, saying how many poor children they will protect against the grief of empty stockings on Christmas or New Year. The Good Fellow" will send. in return, the names and ad- dresses of as many children as the writer promises to provide for.
 No money is asked for, none is sent. The one who replies to this appeal is just given the names, addresses,' sex and age of so many children; he buys little or much for them; he sends his gifts or takes them; he gains neither nor notoriety; he comes in contact with no organization; his identity is not revealed; he can make his own investigation and the whole transaction is just as anonymous as old Santa Claus himself.
 The scheme is clever, safe and at tractive. The Plainf1eld paper has hunted up the Good Fellow" and in- dorsed him without reservation, but without disclosing his identity. Plenty of people would give if they knew ex- actly where and what to give. This plan seems to bring Merry Christmas and full stockings to many child who bod no prospect of either. The Visit ing Nurse association is working along somewhat the same lines in Newark. Newark (N. J.) News.

BREED THEATER.
Unsurpassed Bill of Feature Motion
 Pictures.

Thursday witnessed the initial ex- hibition of feature pictures at the Breed theater, arranged for the bal ance of the week, and proved to be one of the best programmes of the season. there baing an abundance of variety and much of the sensational.
 The great Biograph sensation, en- titled A Corner in Wheat, is an ob- ject lesson to gamblers, beginning with a motion picture reproduction of Mil let's masterpiece, The Sewers, this scene alone being one whose poetical and subtle charm is felt by everyone present and makes a singularly ap- propriate and impressive introduc- ton to the real action of the picture. No subject has even been produced more timely than this powerful story of the wheat gambler coming as it does when agitation is rife agains7 that terrible practice of cornering commodities that are necessities of life.
 The entire programme is an espe- eially fine one. and appeals to oie and all alike. sV
 Master Noonan is constantly delight ing his countless hearers, and last evening rendered The New Born King. an exquisite Christmas song, in a faultless manner, being compelled to respond to numerous encores. This number he sings in his choir boy 's costume, his simple charm of manner and splendid work. winning everyone in the house.
 Christmas day the performance will run from 1.30 to p. m.. and from to 10 D. m.

sINeLINe OUT LA TOILETTE.

The Washington correspondent Of The New York Tribune denies that the administration has shut itself to the insurgent senators, with the single exception of La Toilette:
 There is an apparent effort in some quarters to create the impression that tho insurgent republicans are no longer welcome at the White house, and that their recommendations with regard to patronage are being received with with scant courtesy. This impression is wholly erroneous, and grows out of the attitude of the White house toward Senator La Toilette and those members of the Wisconsin delegation In the house who do the bidding of the junior sena- tor. Senator Deliver, Senator Cum mings, and indeed all others who voted against the tariff bill find no difference in their reception at the White house, and the same is true of the house insurgents, with the excep- tion of the little group of Wisconsin members referred to. So, too, in the case of patronage, the recommenda- tions of all insurgents, with the excep- tion of MT. La Toilette and his hench- men, receive as much consideration from this administration as did the recommendations of the same men as the past"
 This is confirmed as to La Toilette by the correspondent of The Boston Transcript, also republican authority.
 Tt may be said that the republican leaders (Aldrich, Hale, etc.) of the senate have definitely decided to hold no counsel with and pay no attention to anything Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin may do. They do not agree with Speaker Cannon in ruling out of the party Senator Cummins and other republicans who voted against the tar iff bill. but they say that La Toilette voted against them so much as to henceforth will be treated as if he were ons of the minority party"
 Inasmuch as Senator La Toilette Is about to come np for recollection in a neighboring state, the interesting question is raised whther here in Iowa the progressives will be willing to &C., ceut the alignment made at Washing ton. and while chasing themselves as republicans consent to look upon and speak of La Toilette as a democrat.
 The question is one Senators Dolli- yer and Cummins are likely to find embarrassing, for if, as is the forecast, the east joins in the Wisconsin con-. test to defeat the fighting senator, there will be a rallyfng cry to pro- rescue, and nowhere will the call be more fnsistent than on the eloquent orators who represent Iowa, and who in an emergency could do great execu- tion among the Wolverines.
 Up until this time La Toilette, while not always admired as to his meth ods. nor looked upon as the coming leader, has still been counted one of the real powers for a new deal in na- tional affairs. No man has done more to set the woods afire than La Toilette. and in no state has there been a greater revolution than in his state of Wisconsin. Ills spirit has been ad- mlred even when his aim has been nfrdirectsd
 Wiii the progressives consent now to have La Toilette read out of the party on the condition that the other lead ers be permitted to visit the White house on terms of party recognition - Noa 1Gqfnss AnKiatsr and Leader.

THE AUDITORIUM,
High Glass Vaudeville and Motion
 Pictures.

A pleasing addition to the Audito- rum programme was the appearance of Miss Irene Morelle in a duet with her sister Lillian. Lincke's master pieea, The Glow Worm, served to intro duce Miss Irene Morelle to the Nor wfch public, and an instant success was scored. The beautiful harmonizing of the sisters won unstinted applause. An act that should not be missed is Joe Moli, one of the worlds greatest trick cyclists. If there is any position that Joe cannot ride a wheel it has yet to be discovered. A comedy express go- ing at the rate of sixty laughs a min ute is the sketch, A College Hero. ably presented by Kelso, Leighton & Co. The Indian singing cartoonists, Brown X Brown, have stepped into the lime light of public fame with their clever sketching and singing. Coulter & Will son should not be overlooked; these boys put over nifty line of smart talk, clever piano playing and good singing.

 Not near so old as me. l want a special parior ear,
 And private railroad track: A silver mine. an airship line
 From here to Mars and back. A wireless outfit, If you please,

Proposed Vale Dormitory.

There are features in the plan to erect a campus dormitory which shall be honored with the name of Henry P. Wright, dean emeritus, so to speak, which should appeal to every Yale man and to many who hope to be. It is to occupy in part the present site of Alumni hall. Under such circumstances we could toll the doom of old Alumni without a sigh" There are connected with the building many tender mem ories, but not few of them hark back to Professor or Dean Wright. The substitution of his name for that of old Alumni, and memories of him for those which twine around Alumni and it's associated halls, will be an acceptable sacrifice.
 Furthermore, it is expected-and the expectation would seem to be reason able-that such a dormitory will ac- commodate the members of each freshman class, now shut out from the campus because of lack of dormitory facilities. The time when there would be dormitory room sufficient to accom- modate all undergraduates who wished to come into the fold has been hereto fore distinguished only in the visions of loyal Yale men. It seems hard to conceive that it may be so near Yet 1t may be that one more building would catch up with the growth of the col lege- The hope is permissible. A quar- ter million dollar dormitory on that corner which used to be devoted to "subterranean fires" will be in itself a great improvement. Surely the in- spiration of the cause should make the raising of the fund for it easy.
 Only-there should be a care not to refer to it too generally as the Wright memorial" Professor Wright is in himself far from being a memory yet, We hope; he is a living reality. Some day-great may it's distance belt may be a memorial. Meanwhile 1t should only be reminder that the loved dean is with us yet, and enjoying his earned retirement.-New Haven Register.
