In the early days many other super

this evening In Wales, and many are
said to be carried out to this day,
although superstition has died away.
In those days each family built a
large bonfire near their home and as
1t was dying out each member OF the
family would throw white stone
into II, the stones being marked for
further Identification. Then all said
their prayers and went TO bed. and in
the morning they tried to find all the
stones again. II any stones were miss

AT THE oRPHEUM.

Perhaps the greatest trained animal
act on the vaudeville stage il being
featured the first three days ofathis
week at the Orpheum. 1t is Count the
First, the man monkey, and his SEEM
ingly human intelligence Is truly mar
veious. He entertains the audience
by riding bicycle. roller skating. eat
Ing, drinking and smoking and he
actually understood himself and goes
to bed. but these are only small
part of the things that this wonder
full monkey does. A short time ago
Count the First attended a baseball
game in Houston. Tex. where he root
ed for the home team as hard as any
one and even threatened to whip the
umpire when that official seemed to
favor the visitors. The count is VAL
ued at $4,000, and carries life insur-
ance for nearly this amount. That he
won the hearts of the audience last
night was apparent from the applause
that he received. He must be seen
to be appreciated.
Curran & Milton Is another very
good act that the Orpheum has this
week Their act Is entitled Jimmie's
Girl, and is a scream from start TO
finish
Janet Tate, the Scotch prima dom
ma, is a pretty miss who sings clever
Spanish song and number Of others
that are very good. That she made a
hit with the audience was evident from
the number OF encores.

dancing act. Their dancing deserves
