A Bold but Improbable Retort.

Bold but Improbable Retort.
81 passed that woman in the second
door apartment downtown this after
noon with a wonderful new French hat
on. and she had her chin up so high in
the air she couldn't see any one she
knew" said Mrs. Knox. with tinge of
resentment in her voice, as she began
to pave the way to inform her husband
that her own old awning was looking
disgracefully shabby and ready for
the church rummage sale.
'"Tkat's nothing" retorted Mr.. Knox
boldly. when a woman gets a new
Paris hat it generally goes to her
head"

Murray Theater.
Matinee and Night.

Tonight, THE Girl Of My Dreams"
The nice thing about The Girl of
My Dreams" which comes to the Gen.
nett this evening is that there is but
one company.
There is only one Girl OF My
Dreams" and that is Leila Mcintyre.
And John Hyams is the only man who
ever won her.
These two charming actors have
used this medium for three seasons
and draw just as big audiences this
season as they did when the operetta
first appeared. The book is by an In
diana man. Wilbur d. Nesbit. the now
famous humorist of the Chicago Tri-
bune, and the music written by one of
the best known composers of the day.
The Girl of My Dreams" is not on
ly a show" for adults. but for chill
dren. It's delightful little songs and
dances charm children and as many
as are of night theater-going age
should be taken to see the musical
play tonight. 1t Is a clean show" II
is an amusing, entertaining one. And
it is the only company which ever
gave it.
The Murray.
A large matinee audience applauded
the bill at the Murray this afternoon,
the program including some things q
little out of the usual. Mason, Wilbur
and Jordan, in their comedy panto-
mime, did good piece of work. the art
of pantomime being difficult and not
always comprehensive. But this
sketch carried over" and delighted
everyone.
Gus Campbell & Company, in their
Novelty Musical Transformation"
called New Years Melody" present
ed a novel and entertaining sketch
which has human appeal and which
will no doubt prove popular with the
patrons of the vaudeville.

Fearful Football,

Football mad its enemies among the
early Puritans In England. In 1888
one Philip Stubbes produced a work
entitled The Anatomie of Abuses"
wherein there Is a very fierce attack
on football. The game was played
with vigor In the sixteenth century:
"Whosonever scapeth away the best

It or else scapeth very hardlie. and no

to meet one betwixt two. to dashe him
against the harte with the elbowes, to
hit him under the short ribs with their
griped fists. and with their knees to
catch him upon the hippes. and to pick
him on the neck. with a hundred such
numbering devices: and hereof grow
eth envie. malice. rancour. choler. ha-
tired, displeasure. enmitie and what not

Cattle, Locusts and Railways.

In running railways in Brazil there
are two difficulties to contend with
which the European traveller does not
how-cattle and locusts. The cattle
cannot be kept Of the track. Miles
and miles OF it are fenced in, and vet
the cattle manage to force their way
through and then cannot get out The
cowcatcher is efficient. but not suffi-
GENTLY so, as the trains are often de-
rallied by an OK being caught either
between the cowcatcher or cylinder
and the rail or even between the loco
motive and the truss of a bridge, but
such accidents are hardly ever serious.
Locusts are less common, but occa-
sionally travel along In clouds. When
they come to earth they may pile up
to foot deep in the cuttings. and. of
course, the locomotives will skid along
uselessly. This happens but infre-
quently.-Cassier's Magazine.

The Puzzle Master.

To the present writer. who never got
the hang of a single puzzle In all bis
life without help. Sam Lloyd was the
most remarkable person In the world.
for he invented 10000 puzzles In more

ity. He began when he was six by
soaring the cook with ventriloquial
voices In the kitchen chimney and TAX.
ing the rabbits out of the pockets Of
his mothers guests in the parlor. At
ten he was noted chess player and
invented many chess problems. He
studied to be an engineer. along with
side dashes into painting and drawing.
languages and mathematics. But his
propensity to puzzle was too much for
him. While still almost a youth he
invented and drew a puzzle in fifteen
minutes. printed the first edition at
cost Of less than IS and made $4,000.

BRIDGES In korea-

Some idea of the delights Of travel
ing in Korea is given by the following
description by traveller of the
bridges" In that country: A first class
bridge In Korea is simply an assert
ment of planks nailed together. These
are scarce. A second class bridge is a
series Of isolated stones. from one to
another of which the visitor may jump.
A third class bridge. much the com.

When Mike Dugan left the court
room for a two years term in the Ari.
coma penitentiary for horse stealing
the vigilance committee had missed
him or he would have been hanged
he turned to Billy Stokes, who was
responsible for his arrest, and said:
when we meet again. Billy, it will
be from behind couple O. guns. Two
years behind the bars won't improve
my already soured disposition toward
you"
IN be ready for you, Mike, but
I'm afraid you'll have to seek me in
the city where was born and brought
up. 1 advised you long ago to stop
monkeying with other peoples prop
erty and 60 to work. If you had taken
my advice you wouldn't have been
about to do time for horse stealing"
The prisoner was led away, and
Billy Stokes prepared to leave for the
east.
Billy from childhood had been one
Of those boys who need a wider range
than a city affords. While there was
nothing bad about him, he was very
unruly. Finally his father, feeling
that bis son would not make an orna-
ment to civilized society, concluded to
send him out among the cowboys and
desperadoes. Billy found himself
quite in his element and remained in
the wild and woolly west FIVE years.
Then his mother couldn't stand her
darling's absence any longer and beg
ged him to come home. Her pleadings
were REINFORCED by an offer of his
father to take the boy into business
with him If be would settle down, and
this brought Billy round.
A couple Of years passed, during
which the young man had got on fairly
well as humdrum business man. He
lived at home with his father and
mother. the idol of both. Though he
was fond Of them. they might not have
been able to keep him had it not been
for girl. AT any rate, the three held
him chained
One night Billy. whose room was
over the rear entrance TO the house,
heard a singular sound. 1t was like
the turning of an auger In wood. 1t
ceased and was followed by the sound
OF a saw. Both sounds were very
faint, but Billy had tine ears, sharp
ened by his western experience, and
he was satisfied that burglar was at
work at rear door. His AZ caliber
revolver that he had used in the west
was In his bureau drawer, and. taking
1t In one hand and an electric lamp in
the other. after slipping on a dressing
gown. he stepped downstairs and into
vestibule at the rear There he
could hear the saving distinctly. An
arm was put through a hole In the
door. the key in the lock was turned,
the door swung silently open, and the
saw the silhouette of a man

The rolling window awning here
with shown consists of three metal
spring rollers, each containing a sec
tiun OF awning, mounted with u
shaped frame extending outward at
right angles to the face of the window.
The top or main roller is set in brack-
cts over the top Of the window and
contains the main awning or curtain,
which is similar in size and shape to
an ordinary window shade. The side
rollers are placed in brackets in a
vertical position on either side of the
window frame and contain the side
curtains, which are triangular in shape.
To the center of the wooden strip
attached at the end of the top curtain
is a cord for pulling it down until it
comes in contact with the bottom Of
the I shaped frame, and to the side
curtains are attached similar cords,
which pass through pulleys and come
together at the center of the frame,
where they engage with the cord Of
the top curtain in such manner that
the pulling of this cord brings all three
sections into place simultaneously. BY
giving the main cord a slight jerk
the awnings are rolled back in the
same manner as a window shade is
raised.-POpular Mechanics.
