NEW YORK, Jan. 16.--This is
the silly song with a sweet tune
if tunes are sweet-that New
York is whistling. Everybody says
it's the most foolish song that ever
became popular.
Anna Held does the song every
night. No, she doesn't sing IL; she
does 1t. Her eyes, her body, her
arms, her legs, her wiggle, her
giggle, they all help more than her
voice. The song couldn't get
along without Anna Held ut all.
But it isn't the sort of a song that
a man would sing ON his way
home at night.
The play is Miss Innocence. :"
Miss Held is supposed to be n girl
who has never before seen a man.
Her eyes rest-if Anna Held's
eyes even can rest-on Lawrence
D'Orsay. After that she thinks
men are all right. Anna wears her
hair loose in the first act. It is
a great sight when D.Orsay kisses
her, to see her lost in hair-hee
own hair behind, D'Orsay's mus
tache before.
D'Orsay buries her face several
times in his window. He takes
the school girl TO a cafe in Paris,
and she drinks tiny bit of cham
payne when he isn't looking. Then
she insists on singing little song
she learned at school. It's the
bear song. When she comes to
the line, "Oh, what am 1 to dor"
her arms hang limp, her knees

AT THE PANTAGES.

A bill of unusual merit is prom
ised for Pantages audiences next
week, with a complete miniature
musical comedy as the feature act.
The act is given by the Lewis &
Lake Comedy company. which
comprises 16 actors. There is a
full chorus, with three complete
changes of costume. The electri-
cal effects are said to be some
thing entirely new, and the finale,
a swinging scene, never fails to
bring down the house.
The Stubblefield Trio, two
women and a man, who have Gre
ated sensations wherever they
have appeared, will give their
aerial and trapeze work exactly
as presented on the continent.
Clara Dagneau and her dancing
boys, Wilson and Murray, are said
to be the real thing in wooden
shoes. The unison clog dance of
the two young men will be new
feature. Phil La Toska, who
talks while he juggles," is a
comedy juggler of the old school.
He has running fire of jokes and
new slang which pleases even
more than his quick hand work.

entering Holden's leg, badly shat

Judge BuIe Departs,

Some time ago it was annOunc-
ed that Judge b. Frank Buie had
retired from the active practice
of law in this city and that he
would take his family to Corpus
Christi where he expects to make
his future home provided the
climate suits himself and his
family. This announcem ent was
received, at that time, with a
great deal of regret by practi-
cally every citizen of the county
as he was one of the best known
citizens that the county has ever
had. He has for years been
active in the practice of law and
in working for the advancement
of the interests of the city and
county. His financial success
had been such that he was en-.
abled to retire from hard work
and he is now seeking a much
needed rest. The people of this
city and county will miss the
Judge and his estimable family
and will rejoice should he decide
to return to his old home here.
He still retains a large landed
Interest in the county and says
that he has left things so that he
can return should he decide to

to be wished.

We have laws to that effect.
This city was incorporated pri-

The question then arises. why
should we go the limit on what
others have shown to be at best
a decided uncertainty?
But it will be said that the
Canyon City S25, 200 proposition
includes waterwOrks. Does it?
Well, yes. 1t provides for one
main running from about the ice
and light plant south to either
Houston or Evelyn street and
thence down and around the pub
lie square, and, fellow citizens,
that's all. This one line, as Mayor
Haney explained to the writer a
few days ago is to be supplied by
standpipe, either kept full by
said light company under con
tract with the city, or by suit
able power plant furnished by the
city itself and is to be used main
ly for FIRE PURPOSES. When
questioned as to how the remote
sewers would be flushed, if atall,
he informed the writer that hose
might be used, or perhaps the
new fire engine pumps. This,
as the writer Sees it, is imprac-
ticable if not absurd,

do not include the writer as of

only result in disastrous failure.
a good sewerage system with
proper regulations strictly en-.

that the proposed city bond issue
