Some High Glass Attractions.

The patrons of the Empire Theatre
have been enjoying some splendid
entertainment during the past week,
which in fact they have been doing
all winter. Mr.. Hovden is alert at
all times to get the best shows pos
sible, and has been succeeding ad-
mirably. During the past week a
double vaudeville bill in addition to
the moving pictures has been de-
lighting crowded houses each even
ing. Stewart & Mercer in a comedy
acrobatic feat and The Norwoods,
black comedians were far above the
ordinary attraction of this character.
The Pathe films, showing actual
pictures of the most notable and
thrilling events of the world, is a
regular feature that is we'll worth
going a good ways to see. They are
instructive and very entertaining.

Building New Garage.

Peter johnson & Son have already
begun work on their big new fire
proof automobile garage on Washing
ton street They have moved the
residence off the lot south of their
present location, recently purchased
by them, and will move the planning
mill from its place facing the street,
and viii build a garage adjoining
their machine shop or the south,
about 70X100 feet, which will give
them large capacity for storage and
housing of autos in addition to their
repair work. The growth of this
business has compelled them to en-
large their garage each year, and
they believe that the present plans
will give them room enough for some
years to come.

local base ball enthusiasts are all
ready planning on organizing, and
with the good base ball material

Frank Montgomery Reum

1t is sad duty indeed to report
the death at eight o'clock Sunday
morning of little Frank Montgomery
Reum, aged one year and five
months, at the home of his grand
mother, Mrs. Fred Reum. Some three
weeks ago Mrs. Reum returned from
spending the winter at Outlook, Can
ada, with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Reum, and the little fellow
was brought home with her for medi-
cal treatment, and visit with his
grandparents. He contracted cold
week ago Sunday, but it was not
thought to be anything of a serious
nature until short time before his
death, when bronchial pneumonia
developed, and he was not strona
enough to withstand the shock. The
family arrived yesterday, and the
funeral will probably be held tomor-
row. The bereaved parents and
grandparents have the heartfelt SYM
pathy of everyone in this sad afflic-
ton.

MANS LANGUAGE TO BRUTEs
Peculiar Click and chirp Used to Start
and Hasten Horses Used In
Many Parts Of World.

The tale Of the farmer in the Ara.
bian Nights who could understand the
language OF animals and fowls in his
barnyard probably had Its origin in
the ancient myth which asserted that
in primitive times men and beasts
were able to converse together.
In truth. as everybody knows. there
are certain sounds. or words. which
horses. dogs and other animals can be
taught to understand: and. on the 9th.
er hand. some Of the sounds uttered
by domestic animals have a meaning
that man can understand. All this is.
of course. a very different thing from
language. and yet It has a certain
scientific interest. evidenced by the
various Investigations that have been
made.
It has been shown. for instance. with
reference to the language used in talk
ing to domestic animals that people
unconsciously attempt to lower their
language by abbreviations. ETC.. to the
comprehension Of brutes. very much
as they do when they talk to young
children. A curious fact Is that the
peculiar click and chirp used to start
and to hasten the movements Of
horses are employed in widely sepa.
rated parts Of the world. but some.
times in a reverse sense. In India.
for example. those sounds are used
to stop instead Of to start horses.
