In the role OF Bob Blake, the jovial knight
of the road" who finds the romance OF
his life In the Grand Crossing railroad
station, where he has been marooned on
a cherries Christmas day. Miss Miriam
Nesbitt will appear in the part of the
sympathetic station operator and ticket
agent, who shares her meager Christmas
lunch with the persuasive stranger and
presently finds her heart enmeshed in the
%tendrils of his love. The story of "The
Travelling Salesman" is simple and to the
point. Beth Elliott is about to lose an
apparently worthless piece of land through
a tax sale. A professed lover, Franklin
Royce, enters into a plan with a millionaire
sharper to buy it in, knowing that the
railroad wants it and will pay any price
to acquire It. During a poker game in the
second act, which incidentally is the most
laughable creation that ever emanated from
the brain Of a playwright, Royce becomes
intoxicated and babbles about the scheme
to Blake, who Is already head over heels
in love with the girl. Blake anticipates the
Intended flank movement of the enemy and
plans to block It. This impetuous action on
his part involves him in all sort Of pre-
dicaments and imperlls his position with
his firm. His action is misconstrued by the
girl and, for a while, his affair of the heart
is in danger, although before the final cur
tain falls everything is Strengthened out and
the pair are happily married. Through
out the entire action OF the play mirth
runs riot and the audience is never for a
moment without a hearty laugh. Others in

piece such an emphatic success during It's

One of the latest musical comedies,
namely, The Prince OF Tonight" will be-
gin a three nights engagement at Boyd's,
starting Thursday evening, with a matinee
on Saturday. The cast is headed by Henry
Woodruff, the well known leading man,
and serves to introduce him for the first
time in Omaha as a musical comedy star.
'The Prince Of Tonight" has what few
musical comedies of the present day have,
a thoroughly defined plot, dealing with
the old legend that whoever is at the
blooming Of a century plant his wish will
be granted for twenty-four hours. Mr..
Woodruff, who plays the hero, utters this
wish and is transformed from a poor col
lege boy into the Prince of Lunitania, a

In THE Lion and the Mouse" Charles
Klein, its author, has succeeded in drawing
clean-cut, powerful studies Of two widely
contrasting types. He portrays in Ready
Money Ryder the enormously rich man
whose life is guided solely by business
principles and he draws with firm, sure
touch and mRsterful skill, the woman Of
tenderness and sympathy to whom the
severe, cruel man of business is little better
than a monster. He has conceived prob
able situations in which the conflict Of
these two types is one of force and semi
brutality on one side and li~ghtning-like
keenness and brilliancy on the other. He
makes the wit of The Mouse" stronger
than the might OF "The Lion" The play
is interesting, convincing and persuasive.

The annual National Western Stock

January, has grown in six years to be
one of the big live stock expositions Of
ization of some 500 stockmen and PEG
pie interested in live stock agriculture
all over the west and Is financed by
the Denver Union Stock Yards. The
show was started as an educational in
stitution. to educate the Western
farmers in the most modern lines and
methods of producing live stock. 1t
has already been a tremendous factor
in improving the live stock of the
west and the stock yards and business
interests of Denver have backed 1t by
providing buildings costing over
100000 which are used almost exclu'
sively for this annual show. A mag
nificent amphitheater is the principal
building and is one Of the most con
venient buildings Of the kind ever
constructed, providing seats for 10000
people around large arena in which
the fine stock Is exhibited. There is

expected that during the show week
in January Denver will entertain
about $4,000 visitors. The show will
handle 100000 people during the week.
The premium lists and cost of the
show will be over $4,000. Railroads
will make reduced rates from all parts

horse who thinks he Is entitled to
his own opinion, and his favorite
way of asserting himself is in kick
ing the dashboard to bits. Two Mis-
souri, men have devised a harness
which Is warranted to cure this habit.
Straps cross the horses back and
breast and at their functions are fas-
tened the ends of ropes which engage
the fetlocks of the animals hind legs
in running loops. The other end of
the ropes are fastened to staples in
the horses stall or to some other sta
tionary object in front of which he Is
tied. The result is that when horse
is trussed up in this manner, if he
tries to kick he find he cannot get his
hind feet beyond certain point and
after making number of in effectual
efforts he becomes discouraged. If
he is particularly bad kicker he
can be goaded into making these at
tempts until his spirit is broken in

IMPROVING WESTERN CATTLE,

tor in Distributing Pure Bred
Animals.
With the passing of the live stock
business of the western ranges into
the hands of stock farmers and ranch
men, has come a tremendous change
in the quality of the cattle. The old
long horn, long legged cattle of ten
and fifteen years ago have almost
completely disappeared and their
places have been taken with the
broad backed cattle of the shorthorn,
hereford and polled breeds. 1t is
largely due to the big annual stock
shows of the country that this evolu
ton has been SO rapid and none of the
shows has been of more value to the
west than the National Western Stock
Show, which opens it's sixth annual
exhibition in Denver on January 16.
This show was organized and contin-
ued by an association of some 500
western stockmen and business men
who saw the importance Of educating
the people to the most modern ideas
in live stock and in addition to exhib-
lting the best the country affords in
cattle. the big breed associations holS
