A WALRUS ON LAND.
The Awkward and Bulky Creature ls
Almost Helpless.

NHG FNWHWaH0 96iRy SIGdhdIG 10
Almost Helpless.
As might be expected, a walrus is
about as helpless on land as a canal
boat. 1t is with no little difficulty an6
much hitching and floundering that he
drags his huge bulk upon a sandy shore
even with the boosting he gets from
behind by the 0reakert as they roll iE
and dash against him.
His hind flippers are Of little use OF
land, and on sand or pebbles. where
his front fiippers do not hold well, the
labor Of fiOundering forward is so great
that he never stirs beyond the edge OF
the water and usually lies with his
body half awaSh, with the salt spray
dashing over him like torrents of rain.
On solid rock or ice he gets along
much better. and often a herd will
spread several rods back from the wa.
ter'S edge.
The females and younger walruses
have far less development of neck to
incumber them and therefore enjoy
more freedom of motion than the old
males, who actually seem a great bur
den to themselves. These creatures
are strictly social in their habits and
always go in herds. whether travelling,
feeding, fighting or resting ashore. IL
the days before the slaughter of all
living creatures became ruling pas.
sion in the breast of man the Pacific
species inhabited the whole of Bering
sea and strait in herds which often
contained thousands and even tens OF
thousands of individuals.

: At the Gennett next Tuesday night
that exuberantly and artistically mirth
full person, May Irwin, will be seen
in her newest comedy success, a far
cical satire entitled she Knows Bet
ter Now" by Agnes Crimmins grad
uate of Radcliffe College. Miss Irwin
had intended to. use again her last sea-
sons play, with which she was to
make trans-continental tour, but she
and her managers were so we'll pleas
ed with the work submitted by Miss
Crimmins that they decided to produce
the play and go into New York for a
winters engagement, instead of max
ing the tour. And so it happens that
Boston will see the jovial comedienne
in new play. 1t has been several
seasons since May Irwin has appeared
here in comedy. Her seasons of late
have been short, including a few
months in New York, where she is a
favorite with all calsses of theater-
goers, and also few weeks of touring
the principal American scities. She is
reputed to be in the wealthiest &C
tress on the American stage, and can
we'll afford to indulge this luxury of
leisure.

He Resented at First the Comments OF
His Unknown Critic.
An art student was copying one of
Abott S. Thayers paintings at the Met
ropolitan Museum Of Art in New York
one day when a plainly dressed man
who looked as il he might be me-
chanic approached and. posting himself
at the young mans elbow. watched
him as he labored over his subject.
You've got the angle OF the mouth
wrong, and the left eve Is too oblique,'
remarked the man decidedly.
The student blinked angrily. and the
hand that welded the brush trembled
slightly. but he took no notice of the
unsolicited criticism.
There is too much yellow in your
flesh tint" continued the man.
Still no reply from the student. who
ostentatiously slapped on more yellow
in the high light ON the nose.
Did you hear what l said?" Ques-
toned the man.
Yes. did" responded the student
wrathfully, turning and glariug at his
modest looking critic. What do you
know about II. anyway"
Il ought TO know something about
it," was the smiling response. 1T was
who painted the picture."-New York

WORKED THE DIPLOMAT.
The Part a Chinese Minister Played az
Press Agent

When WI Ting Fang was minister
from China at Washington he was the
most curious man in the diplomatic
corps. He would go any place to see
anything. There was u rundown sub
urban resort near the capital in hard
luck. Everybody would go Of evenings
to rival resort on the same trolley
line mile or two beyond it. The re
sort hired publicity agent and told
him to drum up trade. Tie press gen
ius got a private car and invited Mr.
WI and his family and suit to spend
an evening ut the resort. which was
painted in marvellous colors. WI ac-
cepted and took the whole legation
out. and they were entertained at din
ner While the Chinese guests were
dining the publicity man put a leather
lunged barker. with a megaphone, on
the platform. and when the trolley
cars, loaded to the guards with people
for the rival place stopped. the barker
bawled out:
Come i'll and see WI Ting Fang
the Chinese minister. and his suit.
They are in oriental costumes: They
are eating with chopsticks."
The people piled off the cars, and
that night Mr.. WI was the center of
the biggest crowd in the history of the
resort The scheme turned the tide
for the rundown resort. and it has
been prosperous ever since. But Mr..
WI went back to China without ever
discovering the part he had played az
a press agent.-New York World.

At the Murray.

| There is movement to bring tab
loid grand opera into vaudeville by
eliminating many of the dramatic and
| musical superfluities from certain of
the classics and bringing them down to
the level of vaudeville presentation by
singing them in English.
While this has not been perfected
"The Cuban Nightingales,' as they
are styled, who appeared at the Muir
ray yesterday afternoon beat them
to il" for they gave some operate ex-
cerpts in very creditable and effec-
tive manner both unsteady and theat-
rically, the "Nightingales" being two
women, one with powerful soprano
and the other possessing striking
contralto. The latter was especially
good in the dramatic aspect, giving
the ''Toreador Song from Carmen"
with considerable eclat
These people are to be commended
for bringing into the lower-priced
vaudeville houses something of genu-
inc worth.
The bill is introduced by a couple
of musical comedians who do the usu-
al thing in kidding" and play we'll
enough on several instruments. We
seem to have had an epidemic of Ger
man comedians lately, one following
closely upon the heels of the other.
However this one lines up with the
best seen here.
THE Janitor and the Maid" is one
of those conglomerations, peculiar to
vaudeville houses, of farce and dane
ing, which has various resultant the
