PLAYS AND
PLAYERS
THE GREAT keller
And His Bonnie Scotch Lassie at the
New Lyric Tonight.
The MANAGEMENT SAWS:

The management says:
The Great Keller bounding wire
marvel, and his Bonnie Scotch lassie,
will begin an engagement at the New
Lyric Theater tonight. This is an act
far above anything that usually comes
over one of the smaller circuits, and
was only secured at considerable ex-
ira expense. The management have
gone out of the way to secure an extra
good attraction for the first three
days of the week, and from what
they know and have learned of this
act they believe it is one of the very
best vaudeville acts ever shown on a
Palestine stage for the price.
The motion pictures for projection
tonight are Biograph subject, "A
Gold Necklace" How Hubby Got a
Raise comedy, and "Onoko's Vow
an Edison dramatic feature film, a
colonial tale by Herbert S. Streeter.
The story of this film is vivid, pa
triotic, wholesome and soul-stirring.

hardly stoop, this being especially so
when l caught a slight cold My kid

Both of our hired men hav often

that they had often seen II done
Since the veracity of both men hap
pens to be absolutely unquestlonable
my father did not hesitate to mention
this fact in his writing. He was once
called down by several naturalists,
one of them being Prof. Bailey So 1t

caught a skunk in a trap set for rats
in front OF my hen house, ] at once
informed father that ] had a skunk
for him and Il was about time for him
to put his theory in practice by taking
his own medicine, etc. We all had
our misgivings, but were also secretly
delighted when he proved, in spite OF
his 70 years, to be game.
BY means OF long pole the poor
skunk was dragged about and roughly
treated 10 make him good and mad.
Then my father liberated him, bare

his waving plume-like tail, and jerked
him quickly into the air There was
nothing doing, Prof. Bailey TO the con
trary Notwithstanding. Whether OF
not the skunk could have discharged
his phosphorus-sulphurous essence
cannot be said; certainly he did not
After exhibiting and being cheered by
the spectators (who all stood out OF
range) my father dropped the skunk
in a barrel.
Having often watched skunks dis
charge their perfumery I am firmly
convinced that no skunk, held in mid
air by the TAIL could shoot. This is
affirmed by a good skunk story that
the hired man tells, be heing an eye
witness:
"One night when we were out coon
huntin' the dogs ran a skunk in the
wall So and so pulled him out by
the tail, holding him up with one
hand, while he threw rocks at him
with the other. Unluckly while feel
ing for stone he lowered Mr.. Skunk
so that he got his front feet on the
wall Quicker'n lightning, before he
thought, he got soaked fair right In
his eye. He just rolled on the ground;
il near blinded him."
The nature fakirs often misuse the
skunk, speaking of him as though his
terrible odor were always present, IL
being one of his external fixtures. IL
truth there is no neater or cleaner
animal than a skunk or one with less
odor. Those who have very often dug
out skunks in the winter time say
that their dens even when occupied
all winter by five or six skunks, IL
odorless, dry and clean.-Forest and

number of people of education who
are possessed with an actual dread of

ice is constantly hot with anxious
persons asking questions as to what
to do in case there is cyaAogen in the
comets tail, or IL the comets tail is
full of heavy meteorites that may fall

country. Perhaps the average fear

effects. When we hit the tail of a
big comet in the sixties no one knew
anything at all had happened. Ordi-
narily speaking, there is no reason
why we should have more trouble
with one comet than another"

From the popular standpoint the
most interesting thing in connection
with the transit of the comet across

Except for a possible auroral glare
and a few meteors, the passage OF

OF what passes for popular astronomy

King Edwards Mortal Remains Lie in
State in Westminster Hall
at London.

London, May 1S.-Dignity, rever-
ence and beauty mingled in the i'm.
pressive ceremony with which King
Edwards mortal remains were taken
from Buckingham palace to Westmins
ter hall, there to lie in state. Women
in the mourning throngs which the
cortege passed wept silently or
sobbed aloud, their sorrow for the
sovereign who has gone, redoubled
for his widowed queen, whose digni-
Ned composure could not mask her
grief. Through Westminster hall last
night 100000 persons passed with abb
solute decorum, paying the last trib-
ute of loyal subjects to their dead
sovereign, although they were not
permitted TO look upon his face.
