encountered a polar bear coming up
from his cave In the icy cliffs.
The pole near the house has a har-
ness fastened on its top. This Is one
way the Eskimos keep II from the
hungry dogs, who will eat leather II
they get a chance.
The picture shows, too, how the
sturdy little dogs are harnessed to
the sledge. Their harness goes about
the body and across the chest, with
one long trace by which the dog is
fastened to leather loop. which In
turn Is attached to the sledge. The
dogs are driven In a sort OF V shape,
with the leader farther away from
the sled than the others. The driver
guides this leader by his voice and
the others follow.
The people and animals for this
little scene were made by the chill
dren OF modelling clay. The house was
built OF oblong blocks made from the
same material. The sledge was con-
structed OF wood tied together in real
Eskimo fashion, though with string
instead OF leather thongs.
The first step In preparing this
scene was TO smooth the wet sand into
shape. making bluffs in one corner
leading down TO the sea. This ses

LYcEUM.

The tuneful Soul Kiss returned 10
Detroit for the third time to fill a
weeks engagement In the Lyceum
theater, was greeted by large audi
ence, Sunday afternoon. That the
music has lost none Of its charm In
it's travels, and that the comedy Is
still good for the laughs, was demon
strated by its reception.
Thomas s. Van played the role OF
]. Lucifer Mephisto, and he made
very good devil indeed. He rose en-
tirely to the occasion in delivering
the well-known indictment OF New
York in the scene on the roof OF the
Singer building, and scored hits In
his song numbers, especially In his
imitation OF the broken-dovn actor.
Ethel Gilmore took the difficult role
of the dancer originated by Adelaide
Genee and handled II with credit. Her
dancing, which is the principal part
of the performance, Is graceful and
artistic.
Harry A. Henshaw, of Detroit, and
George McGarry, as Maurice, dis
played good vocal talent, and the for
mer made q hit with the comedy songs
which came In his share. Mephisto
says that he would play McGarry's
part for nothing, merely for the OPP
portunity of testing the various can
didates who think they can fulfill the
requirements for the soul kiss.
The chorus, which was very much
In evidence, pleased the audience
nightly, especially with the bell num-
Der which was performed upside down
and the medley OF Harry Lauder
songs. Gertrude Harris was the
leader OF the chorus in the latter
number, and won a large measure OF
the applause. She also had several
other good song numbers to her
credit.
Jack Port as Sol Skevinsky was a
typical musical comedy Hebrew, add
ing nothing that was original, prob
ably because originality did not seem
necessary to make the audience
laugh.
The costuming and scenery are
good, and the staging Is fully done.
Altogether, 1t is good performance.

Dis.anced By the Procession.

Dispatches from Aurora. H..
tell OF the death Of a quaint
character in that city who was
known as a nonprOgressive NOR
chant. Away back in civil war
time he owned a big store and
did q large business. Five years
after the war he was still prosp-
ering, but ten years later his
store had become a curiosity shop
and::his,trade was.merely nominal
and il 80 continued to the end.
In recent years few people en-.
tered the store, though the old
merchant opened promptly at Z
o'clo,.k and was on hand until in
the evening waiting for the GUS
toners who neveS came. He was
an excentrlc individual who did
not advertise and who failed to
keep step with the progress of
the times. Anybody could sell
goods in civil war days but no.
body can sell goods nowadays
by civil war methods. When g.
merchant is behind the times his
wide awake competitor iuevita-
bly, takes away his trade. The
day when a dry goods store can
be conducted on the same gpner-
al plan of a junk shop has pass
ed. 1t ia a certainty that the man
who stands still while Others are
going ahead will not make much
headway in his business. The
merchant who does not adver.
tise and who ignores all forms Of
publicity will soon lie forgotten
BY the buying public.
The world moves and merch
ants and other people must needs
mova with it Otherwise they will
be run over by the procession
and left hopelessly behind as was
the old merchant who could not
bring himself to adopt modern
methods OF merchandising.-C
