Lucky The Night Was Red Hot.

The opening of new theatre signi.
fies much for the fortunate attraction
nowadays, as it means complete sell
out of all the seats at a premium,
and the people pack the theatre with
all available standing room, and in a
town of any consequence, it is good for
at least $1,000 for the fortunate attrac-
ton.
But with few exceptions, theatres are
dedicated before they are finished, and
the accompanying photograph shows
the straits which the male members of
'rhe Top o. TIL World" were obliged
to adopt early in August, this year,
when they opened the new $500, OOO
Armory Theatre at Binghampton,
n. Y.
AS usual, the last thing that was at
tended to were the dressing rooms and
when the company arrived and repair
ed to the theatre, they found that por-
ton of the house ''back of the lights"
madly behind hand. A hasty glance
at the dressing rooms showed only six
that were habitable and these were al
lotted to the ladies; but what to do
with the men was beginning to be a
serious problem when Fred Bailey sug-
gested that they get large covered ice
wagon, draw it up to the stage door
and dress there This idea was success
fully carried out, as wires were run
from the theatre to the ice wagon,
which, with curtains at each end, was
pressed into service. Fortunately the
night was red hot and the stunt work
ed to charm, but it was amusing to
see the actors, all ready for the stage,
walk out of the ice wagon to the stage
door and play their parts. An exact
reproduction of the photograph, done
in oil, now adoms the handsome lobby
of the Armory Theatre, Binghampton,
N. Y. At Beverly Theatre, Tuesday,
May 8. Matinee and night.

$3.50 ACRES
ELIMINATED
TARGhEE NATIONAL FOREST RE-
DUCED AND DIVIDED.

Washington, D. c., July 22-The
President has signed proclamation
Eliminating approximately $3.50 acres
in Idaho and $3.50 acres in Wyom-
ing from the Targhee National For
est and dividing the remaining area
into two forests These Examinations
are the reuslt of careful examina-
ton made by the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture last summer, which showed that
the lands now excluded are mainly
nOn-timbered areas of more or less
2alue for grazing or agriculture and
not needed for forest or for water
he'd protection.
The largest elimination is an area
of approximately 10000 acres along
the Oregon Short Line r. R. near
the Idaho Montana line. These lands
are strictly Of a grazing character.
Near Henry's Lake about 5000 acres
are eliminated, and in the vicinity OF
Rea's Park about six sections of agri-
cultural land are excluded. A con
siderable area of purely grazing lands
in the vicinity of the town of Heise
along the South Fork Of the Snake
River is excluded
By the division, the northern sec
ton of the Forest remains as the
Targhee and the southern section be-
comes the Pahsade. The dividing
line follows the Teton river, which
lies almost directly east of st. An
thony, Idaho. The object of the d.
vision was to make two convenient
units, each of which could be admin
istered by separate supervisor.
The Palisade Forest was placed in
charge of separate officer on Jan
uary /, 1870 with headquarters at
St. Anthony, which place is also the
headquarters of the Targhee. The
area of the Targhee Forest thus re-
duced is approximately S51 ,2S0 acres,
and that of the Palisade $3.50
acres.
The unappropriated portions of the
lands eliminated by this proclamation
become part of the public domain
subject to settlement after the publ.
cation of a notice to that effect by
the Secretary of the Interior, prior
to which time all settlement and oc-

QUEER MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE.

| Among the rubber gatherers of the
Amazon, cartridges of standard pat
tern pass as a medium of exchange.
Like the cowrie shells among some of
the South Sea Islanders, gum drops
among the EsquimeauX, and wampum
among the aborigines Of North Amer
lea before they were super-civilized
and got to appreciate bad whiskey
and breakfast foods, these primitive
people lack sufficiency of small cur
rency, so cartridges answer very well
Vice Consul General j, j. Schechta
of Rio de Janerio says in recent
report that among the rubber gather
ers, repeating rifles of standard make
are in great demand. especially those
of 80 and 32 calibre. Compared with
other things, such, for instance as
ordinary household necessities, fire
arms sell very cheaply in Brazil,
which in 1909 imported arms and
ammunition to the value of $3.50, 600.
The consul thinks that the United
States ought to sell more than it does
its share of this trade in 1909 being
$500, 900 This, however, is not due
to prejudice, for the consul says:
THE dealers in most cases favor
the European product, but the pur-
chasers know very little as to the
various makes and do not care in
what country they are manufactured
In some districts, as in the Amazon
rubber country, there is well marked
preference for American Winchesters,
but In other parts of Brazil people
who use guns simply in hunting have
little, if any preference and a we'll
directed effort to place American
arms on the market would probably be
successful"

Reliable statistics show that the
average salary of a clergyman is
less than that of skilled mechanic
and but little above that of an un.
skilled laborer. One obvious remedy
for this is fewer churches and clergy
men. When a community capable of
adequately supporting two or three
churches is called upon to help six
or eight churches and their ministers,
as is frequently the case, it is in
eWtable that some of these churches
should have a feeble support and
their pastors a beggarly pittance.
From every point of view this multi
plicity of churches in small city is
to be deplored.

They are not subject to entry, filing
or selection until thirty days after
