THE PARK

The name of Mime. Regina Prager. who heads the Regina Prager All-Star YiddiSh Company which comes direct from one of the leading Yiddish thea tres of New York City and which are to appear at the Park Theatre tonight is well known "even outside the circle of those who understand the Yiddish language. She and her excellent com pany will present in this city the lat est and greatest operettas direct from New York City where each of them have enjoyed long and successful run,
 "The Girl in The TaxP' will entertain local theatre goers at the Park Thea Ire beginning tomorrow night for an engagement of two nights with Sat urday matinee. Laugh and the world laughs with you' was evidently the slogan in the mind Of the author wtGle writing 'SThe Girl in the Taxi' and the truth of the saying is found in the record breaking triumphs achieved Chicago and Bost on, and at tke present time in all the principal cities of the country. "Charley's Aunt" held the palm as the funntest play of the age an appearance.
 The new policy to be inausurated at the Park Theatre next Monday will bring about many expensive and what should be appreciated changes. The front of the house has been painted and new Marquese has been built
 over the sidewalk, new e'ectric signs are to be put in place togef her vii h new suits for the house employees, this and much more is promised for the comfort and convert ence of the pa irons of this theatre.
 It has been found in the past that in houses of this kind that have cha1g- ed their policy announcing the differ ent vaudeville acts to take part in he first weeks bill, that on several occa- sions the fsatu e acts have been bought off by opposition houses and were missing at the operTng performance. To avoid this the management will withhold the names of the several acts until later time. but the public can fee assured that the vaudeville part of the programme will contain some of the best acts ever seen here at any price. The pictures will come from the best producers in the country and will be seen at the Park Theatre for the first time, the. patrons being as- sured that they will never see old tried out films on exhibition here. An or chestra will render suitable music and in saying that this will. positively be the biggest program of amusement ev- nOunced. Is putting 1t mildly.
 This is made possible only by the en- ormous size of the Park Theatre. The performances will be given three times daily on each day but Saturday at ?, and S:45 F. M. On Saturdays there will be four shows starting at 1:30.

A Story That illustrates Their Won
derful Intelligence.
Dogs on the trail often display intel
ligence that seems almost human. On
one occasion remember l was driving
u team Of dogs down the Yukon river
and had one dog in the team called
Tommy, who was a good dog in his
way, but who showed a strong dislike
to being harnessed-to such an extent
that in the morning. when all the other
dogs were hitched to the sleigh, Tommy
would hide himself under a cabin or
bury himself in the snow.
This continued for several mornings,
and beating him seemed to have no eff
feet. One morning, however. the team
had been standing in the cold waiting
for Master Tommy. I finally discov-
cred him hiding under the roots of a
tree, and as soon as / came in sight
dragging the dog, the entire team. NOV.

terrible thrashing to Tommy.

companions, and after that Tommy
was always the first to put his head
in the collar in answer to my whistle

II Mas Chandaahla.

One of the large Kansas City stores
owes it's success in a great measure to
it's policy of exchanging goods if re,
turned in a salable condition. An ex-
ception is made when dress materials
have been cut from the bolt. One day
recently customer purchased ten
yards of a two toned silk. which the
clerk assured her was the most fash
ionable fabric Of the season. When
she reached home with her purchase
she decided. on reflection. that wool
en- material would be more serviceable
Accordingly she returned to the store
the next day and requested the ex-
change. The clerk explained that 1t
was an impossibility, as the goods had
been cut.
"Why. I bought this with the dis
tinct understanding" demonstrated the
woman, that I could return it. Did
you not tell me it was a changeable

OUR EARLY RAILROADS.
Rules That Used to Be In Force Half q
Century AQo.

Rules That Used to Be In Force Half q
Century Ago.
A curious relic Of railroad operation
some fifty years ago in Tennessee and
Georgia is exhibited in the following
extracts from the rules then in force:
Each engineman will keep watch,
which must be regulated by the time Of
his conductor at the commencement OF
each trip and will always have in his
possession the current schedule book.
Should any stock be killed which
may be likely to endanger the safety
of the next train passing. the engine
man will stop his train until track is
cleared.
AS a general rule. when trains meet
between stations the train nearest the
turnout will run back. Any dispute
as to which train has to retire is to be
determined at once by the conductors
without any interference on the part
of the enginemen. This rule is re-
quired to be varied in favor of heaviest
loaded engine or the worst grades. If
they meet near the center, in case of
backing, q man must be placed on the
lookout, so that any danger to the rear
most part of the train may be seen and
the engineman at once receive notice.
The backing must be done cautiously

him or to Scutari. There he was sub
mitted to a long Interrogation as to
the club and the game Of football.
The authorities were convinced that
they had found a great plot and that
the club must be a secret society. A
special messenger was sent for the
ball. and that was duly examined and
found to be an Internal machine. The
rules Of the game were considered to
be another piece of damning evidence.

colors Of the club.
After long deliberation the culprit

the conclusion that the empire bad

dispatched the whole matter to be in

The Ink BAD Souid,

When the squid is alarmed the ink
bag that connects with the siphon
opens its valve and cloud Of black
fluid is elected into the water, where
it becomes quickly diffused, forming
an effectual bar to pursuit. The squids
also have a faculty of changing their
color with great rapidity, and when
laboring under great excitement waves
of color seem to pass over them in
quick succession. Their motions are
extremely rapid, darting along with
the velocity of light, now rushing into
a school of small fry tail first, turning
quickly to seize a victim and press 1t
against the birdlike beak, where, by
making triangular nips, the vertebrae
is generally instantly severed. 1t is
interesting to note that the bite is al
ways in the same place-the neck
