"The Cat and the Fiddle" at Barre Opera
House Wednesday.

The Hamilton, Ont, Spectator of Sep
TENDER 20 has the following concerning
"The Cat and the Fiddle" which appears
at the Barre opera house tomorrow

"A jolly musical jingle holds sway at
the Grand in The Cat and the Fiddle,
which appeared last night and pleased
the people.
THE Cat and the Fiddle is an ex-
travaganza in three acts and eighteen
scenes, so variety is well supplied, be-
sides q bunch of pretty girls and lively
songs. Along with all this is Harry B.
Watson, as Happy, the tramp, who in
his own peculiar way sends laugh after
laugh along. Miss Frohman, a dainty
little soubrette. filled the role Of Kitty
we'll. Nellie Waters, as Polly pleased
the boys; Polly is some grille and in
several Of her songs she had the aid Of
the chappies in the gods. To see this
play is like dipping into fairy land
and the little people should be taken
TO see the wonderful people shown.
There is the wicked fairy Great Gobs,
the Green Demon, the Owl, Witches,
and best of all beautiful good fairy
who makes the happiest ending possible.
Scenically it is fairly well staged and
the musical numbers are particularly
tuneful. The Cat and the Fiddle gives
a matinee to-day and another perform
ance this evening"

Rainey Arctic Motion Pictures.

Animal life has been q study to man
for many years, and the public schools
all over this vast republic are taking up
this interesting study. 1t is, of course,
good for the children to learn all about
the life and habits of these animals
and become acquainted with them
through the text books and by their
visits to the roo, but Mr.. Paul Rainey,
the millionaire sportsman and natural
ist has made 1t possible for the children
to see this animal life in motion through
his wonderful motion pictures OF the
north pole. They are also able TO see on
the canvass their cousin, the grinniRg
Eskimo in his daily life at home with
his family and with his dogs; fishing
for seal or walrus, bunting the musk
OK or polar bear The antics of the
shaggy dogs and fur-clad babies fur
nished great sport for the young chill
dren. while the older folks revel in the
hunting, fishing and capturing Of the
grizzly bears. the muskox, flying sal
mon and beautiful birds. All those who
come to see these heautifu! pictures will
be RECALLED with wonderful views of the
ice fields, where hundreds Of years ago,
Hendrick Hudson was set adrift by his
rebelious crew. Thus the Rainey arctic
motion pictures are helpful in school
work as well as being instructive to
sportsmen and naturalists, and on next
Thursday night, Nov 2, 81 the opera
house, these wonderful pictures viii be
shown for the school children as well as

HOW GERMS SPREAD SKIN DISEASE

Eczema, psoriasis and other skin trou-
bles are caused by myriads Of germs at
work in the skin. Unless these germs are
promptly destroyed they rapidly multi
ply, gnawing their way deep into the
sensitive tissue. This is what causes
that awful itch, and what seemed a mere
rash may grow worse and develop into a
loathsome and torturing skin disease
with its years Of misery.
Don't take any chances! Destroy the
germs at the beginning of the trouble
with that soothing and cleansing wash,
the D. D. d. Prescription for eczema.
A Csc bottle will prove this to you.

Miah-dah could handle rattlesanle

him that It was true Miah-dah. seeing
a big rattlesnake, would throw a
small stick on the ground in front OF
the snake. to stop It. and would then
fearlessly pick up the rattler. lay it
across his knees, stroke its back,
twine its body round his neck. and
then place the snake in his bosom,
where the reptile could be heard rat

Everywhere, under the floor and IN

and the Cherokees believed that he
had an unfailing cure for poisonous
snake bite. Tradition runs that he
merely moistened the would with his
saliva and spoke to the poison in the
wound and to the snake ITSELF wher-
ever It might be. There are many
living Cherokees willing to testify n
this power Of Miah-dah. There grew
up in imitation of Miah-dah other

to be able to cure snake bites in tbs

well preserved as most men at the
age Of so. which he attributes to his
knowledge of herbs and his having
lived all his life in the open air.
Koo-suh carries no license from a
board of medical examiners for the
practice of medicine, yet he does
thriving business at all seasons. His
reputation as a healer is widespread
among the Usage Indians, and often
he is sent for TO visit sick Usage

country. Koo-suh is a canny man.
and charges the rich Osages a stiff
fee. In winter he may be seen in
the Usage camps wearing a coonskin
cap and a beaver collar.
Claims No Occult Powers.
Koo-suh lays no claim to occult
powers. relying solely upon his
knowledge of the healing power Of
roots. herbs, leaves and blossoms that
he gathers in their native habitat at
the different seasons. He says that
some of the roots contain their great

Miah-dah had power over snakes
both venomous and harmless snakes
