COMING ATTRACTIONS.

1t is to be inferred that the majority
Of Washington book readers have follow
ed the wanderings and love story of the
primitive mountain girl, June. in John
Fox, jr.'s delightful story, The Trail
of the Lonesome Pine" which will be
zen at the Columbia Theater the week
of October q. Few stories, even though
they be part fiction and part truth, have
been written with the compelling heart
interest that the author of this thrilling
story of the Virginia hills has sustained
in every page Of his narrative. There
fore, 1t is with some trepidation that
Eugene Walter, brilliant dramatist
though he is, approached the task set
for him by Klaw & Erlanger to bring
out Of the book a stage June, that would
appeal as strongly to theater-goers as
the book June appealed TO readers. That
Mr.. Walter has accomplished his task is
evidenced already by the appreciation of
the producers of the play, as we'll as the
author Mr.. Walter has taken a rough,
uneducated, enormously superstitious and
imaginative mountain girl and made her
a delightful creature. He has brought
out all the possibilities of the June of
the book, catching the significance of
Mr.. Fox's clean-cut Characterization, and
the exquisite poetry and drama of his
dominating love theme.
Hale, who has started a reform move
ment in the Gap, gets his police together
and comes to the Lonesome Pine to
find the murderer. Young Dave shoots
at Hales party, as he comes up the
trail, wounding Hale's chum, Berkley.
Hale goes to June's cabin to find Dave,
who has been concealed by June in a
bedroom. June denies he is in the place,
and Berkeley, who has been called in,
hat iG he pvhn chat
him, and Hale leaves the cabin, be-
lieving that he and June are permanent
ly estranged. The following morning
Berkley, who is not seriously wounded,
leaves the cabin to find Hale, and he
encounters his chum, standing in the
shadow OF the Lonesome Pine. He halls

The British wildcat has been at the

he has never been known to come out
Of his box in the daylight unless he is
driven. When he is driven out he
slares round and splits in fury Of
hatred.
How many people know that the zoo
possesses two little deer, now all but
fully grown, which are only the size
81 rabbits! They spend their days in
the ostrich house, and they are called
Iayan Chevrotains. So long as 1t Is
lint they remain cuddled together un'
der truss Of straw, and they will not
come out. though bowl Of chopped
carrots awaits them.

FUR ANIMALS FEW IN MAINE
Jeoppers Compelled to Work Harder
Than Ever Before and Secure
Fewer Animals-Profits Big.

Bangor, Me.-Trappers who spend
the winter in the Maine woods work
much harder than they did 20 years
go. They get up earlier, travel farther
and take greater pains in attending
their traps, and earn about as much
% they did when fur-bearing animals
were twice as abundant They bring
In lighter loads and take greater pains
In SHINING and preparing the pelts.
They bring out muskrat and skunk
skins that formerly they did not con-
slider worth hauling, because with the
scarcity of minks, offers and fisher
cats prices have doubled.
Profits, however, are very extensive,
often amounting to 100 per cent. or
more on rare furs, though prices for
skunk, raccoon and muskrat are NOM
inal. The pelts Of New England and
Canadian foxes are the finest, thickest
and most desirable found in America.
Ten years ago the Office Of the Maine
Dish and game commissioners reported
that from $4,000 to 10000 foxes were
captured every year, more than half
OF which were poisoned. Fur buyers
here say the figures are too high, that
not for more than rs years have there
been 10000 fox pelts sold in one sea-
con In any Maine district.
In many Of. the old country towns
are associations which keep fox
hounds to run foxes in sportsman
lik3 manner without any desire for
profits or records. ThSsbest known Of
these organisations Is the Brunswick
Fur club, although hounds are run In
IN. Skowhegan, Dexter, Pittsfield and,
until . few days ago, in Bucksport,
Monroe and Frankfort.
Since the price of fine fox pelt
haJbdyanced to IS each many hunters
h&Ve saved the best for wives, daugh-
ters or sweethearts. An average pelt
viii bring Is to 20 per cent. more this
winter than a year ago, while the IN
crease in rates on silvers grays and
blacks are even higher.
Raccoon and muskrat helts are IN
better demand than formerly and the
pelts Of the despised bob cats are now
worth y. Loup cervier skins are 60
ing at S and are hard to get at that
pdce. Mink, otter, fisher cats and
american sable are constantly be.
coming more rare and the prices are
advancing A big black bear in Maine
10 becoming as rare as moose with
Q perfect set of antlers. Records Of
bears weighing 400 pounds or more
are raIss although many cubs and
yearlings are found.
