PUPILS PRESENT
BEAUTIFUL OPERETTA
ApLN OF THREE ACTS
UNDER DIRECTION OF MISSES ANDER-
SON, NELSON AND IRlON. PLAY
WAS A DECIDED SUCCESS

The Columbus Theatre was
packed to its seating capacity
and there was hardly standing
room on Tuesday evening, when
the operetta TOY Shop" was
presented under the direction of
Miss Sarah Anderson, Miss An
ME Nelson and Miss Grey Irion.
The characters were well chosen
and the entertainment was
pleasing in every detail.
The play which consisted of
three acts, represented a night
in December in a toyman's shop,
and the characters were unique
and very true to life, and the
various specialties introduced
gave additional charm to the
play.
Miss Anderson is gifted in di-
recting and staging affairs of
this kind. and her work in Co.
lumbds has been of the highest
order. Misses Nelson and Irion,
who had charge of the music
have made fine progress as teach
ers in the public schools, as was
evidenced by the success Of their
pupils who took part Tuesday
evening.
The following was the leading
cast of characters who did their
part so admirably.

march down the field.
Several times the college team was
in striking distance of the Puns' goal
but their opponents held them fol
their attempts at field goal failed
The second period started with q
try for goal by oahu from the 20
yard line, but when the Puns got the
ball in this period the tables were
turned and all the time the ball was
kept in college territory, although al
the end of the period the ball was
Oahu's on their twenty-yard line.
In the third period the ball was

The ball was on Oahu's ten-yart
line at the beginning of the last pc
Rod, and on the punt Punahou tried
one gain through the line of the col
lege team and then worked the long
forward pass for touchdown. The
try for goal was unsuccessful.
1t was from this time on that the
Puns went into the game and ripped
through their antagonists time after
time. but were held at critical times
and kept from scoring before the
game ended by the solid front that
the college team put up.
II was a great game to watch. Al.
though the tackling was bad, the
Pun interference was nearly impreg-
nable, and had the college men had
the same help of interference the
score would have been different
These backs were left without inter.

quick and getting far in the lead oil

On the other hand, the Puns had
n beautiful interference that was
hard to break by the college ends
and the men of that team did great
work in holding the Puns at times
the way they did
Rice was the particular star on
the college eleven, and although his
tackling was bad, he saved the day
for his team on several occasions.
As for the Puns, each man on the
teamp did good work. and their team
work showed the effect of careful
coaching.

PUNS CHAMPS
BY WINNING game
Team Work Defeated Oahu
Saturday BY Score of
One Goal.

Brilliant individual playing was
everywhere. but lack of team work
was what lost the championship in
football TO the College of Hawaii on
Saturday afternoon, when Punahou
won the game of the season and
clinched the championship by score
of five to nothing against their adver-
saries.
1t was great game to watch,
three of the four periods going by
without a score, although Oahu at
one time made a field goal which was
not allowed on account of off-side
play.
The winning score was made in
the last period on long forward pass
by Desha to Hitchcock, who went
twenty yards over clear field and
laid the pigsiin carefully behind the
goal line of College of Hawaii.
From the time that Punahou made
the score in the last quarter they
went into the game like demons from
the center of the field when the ball
was put in play again, making first
down three successive times through
the stubborn defense of Oahu, then
on a forward pass retaining the ball,

tITIIE
By MARTHA McCULLOCH.wILLIAMS


Behind the frowning providence Of
n sudden summer rainstorm, Fate
hid for Milicent Ware a smiling face.
She stood in the uncertain shelter OF
a roadside elm. trying vainly to
shield her hat with a ridiculous par
asol. and specializing what chance
had such an object as she knew she
looked of getting the place she sought.
To be exact, the place was that of
nursery governess in the Alstyne fam
ily-the agency had sent her on the
barest long chance. Because she
needed work so desperately, also be-
cause the morning had promised so
fairly. she had put on her modest
best-her white linen suit, null
trimmed hat aud patent leather ties
She had been pardonably proud OF
herself as she stepped from the train
at the nearest station. There was
nobody to meet her. and her purse
forbade even suburban cab fare.
Armed with confused directions and
the rash confidence of youth, she had
set out on foot for Overhill, the AL
styne place-and this was the result!
"Hopelessly drabbled" she said
half aloud, looking herself up and
down as she spoke. And at least
half a mile to go II this rain ever
holds up. Heigho II everybody be
rich why is anybody permitted to
own an auto?"

at war with his fellow workers, al
though he sought every assistance
from them-a man of whimsical hu-
NOR and yet murderously morbid. Not
- all the years of his life I'm New

but he drew solace in his companion

His character as unfolded shows

exaggerated to the utmost, and be-
cause Of his feelings Of superiority he

had helped to stay her was at least
four inches dep. She had shrunk
back but too late-even the tip of her
nose had a brown drop on It. or
course the machine would go past
her. How ever would she get back

"Oh, I'm So so sorry" girls voice
said The door had been flung open.
Within II she saw a fair double OF
herself, a girl, blue-eyed and tall as
straight nose and yellow hair. The
voice. too. seemed her own. as It went
on eagerly:
Get In! You must! l shall take
you home with me-and send you to
the laundry"
There was a bubbling laugh after
the last word. Milicent got in, and
was whisked forward, hardly knowing
whether she were awake or dreaming.
Two hours later she was pinching
herself to determine. This, although
she sat at late luncheon in a fine
country house, clothed in fine alien
garments. eating strange things.
Her double sat opposite her, smiling
soft coaxing smiles. and saying every
little while:

Two days later, still dazed, but full

granddaughter for company. tall, so

: A MAN WHO HAD COURAGE. !
$>>>%<~<~<~~~~~>~>~~~~~<A>

In St. Ives, in Lands End, bird kill
ing used TO flourish almost without
protest. 1t has not wholly ceased yet,
to be sure, but one little incident took
place which seems to have been re-
membered here and there, and to have
brought about a merciful truce In
The Lands End" W. H. Hudson re-
lates the occurrence as he heard of
it. He was talking one day to wom-
an who deplored the way her fellow
countrymen were killing birds of all
kinds. I'm sure" she said, that
if some one living here would go
about among the people and talk to
the men and boys, and not be afraid
of anything. but try to get the police
and magistrates to help him, he could
get ,these things stopped in time. just
as Mr.. Ebblethwaite did about the
gulls."
Who was Mr.. Ebblethwaite, and
what was it he did about the gulls?
l had been, OF and on, long time
in the place, and had talked about
the birds with a score of people, with
out ever hearing this name mentioned
And as to the gulls, they were we'll
enough protected by the sentiment of
the fisherfolk.
But it had not been so always On
inquiry. found twenty persons to tell
me all about Mr.. Ebblethwaite, who
had been very we'll known to every
body in the town, but as he had been
dead some years, nobody had remem-
bered to tell me about him.
1t now came out that the very strict
protection awarded to the gulls at st.
Ives dates back only about fifteen to
eighteen years. The fishermen always
had friendly feeling for the birds, as
is the case of all the fishing places
on the coast, but they did not protect
them from persecution, although the
chief prosecutors were their own chill
dren.
People, natives and visitors, amused
themselves by shooting the gulls along
the cliffs and in the harbor Marrying
the gulls wac che popular amusement
of the boys; they were throwing stones
at them all day long, and caught them
with baited hooks, and set gins baited
with fish on the sands, and no person
forbade them.
Then Mr.. Ebblethwaite appeared on
the scene. He came from town in
the north of England, in broken
health, and here he stayed a number
of years, living alone in small house
down by the waterside. He was very
fond of the gulls and fed them every
day; but his example had no effect
on others, nor had his words when he

BUILT ON A LEFTOVER STRIP


T-vo-story House I'm New York Only
Feet Ia Inches Wide.
A building remarkable because it is
only feet SA inches wide stands at
the northwest corner of Melrose ave-
nue. and East 161st street, the Bronx.
the New York Sun says. 1t is occu-
pied as tailor shop by its owner.
Henry Ubelhor, 1t is twenty-five feet
long and two stories in height. its
upper story contained in French
roof.
When Melrose avenue was planned
Mr.. Ubelhor's father owned a plot or
ground fronting fifty feet along the
northerly side of East 161st street,
across the proposed avenues line.
When the avenue was opened all this
land was taken excepting a narrow
strip along its westerly edge, this strip
having a front of feet 81 inches on
161st street and front for its entire
length along the west side OF the ave-
nue.. 1t might have been supposed
that all that could be done with this
narrow piece OF land would be to sell
1t to the owner of the land which it
adjoined, but about a dozen years ago
the present Mr.. Ubelhor put up the
building that now stands on it.
The entire street end of the build
ing is taken up by a show window,
which is extended around on the ave-
nue. front. The entrance is at the
middle of the avenue front; a storm
door built out from the entrance
serves as a vestibule. On entering
! the door you scarcely realize at frs
how narrow the building is, for i'm
mediately in front of the entrance is
mirror.
The building is of steel frame con
struction, so built in order that the
walls might be made as thin as pos
sible to save interior space; but as
they stand the walls are three inches
| in thickness, making six inches to be
deducted from the interior, so that the
inside width of this building on its
ground floor IS only three feet two and
quartz. inches.
To the right from the entrance is
| found the only room on this floor; it
is about nine feet in length. To the
left from the entrance is a stairway
leading down into the basement, which
is 15x25 feet, the additional space be
ing gained by utilizing the vault space
under the Melrose avenue and 161st
street sidewalks. At the front is a
room for customers, while partitioned
of at the rear is workroom, both
