through them in excited amazement,
beheld his foe apparently close at

his arrows and looked again. The
enemy was as far away as at first.
Once more he snatched the magic
glasses, once more exchanged them for
his arrows, and once more was baf-

hard indeed. A bright thought sud-

FINE POINT ABOUT THE LAW
Somewhat Curious Problem Has Been
Raised by the Decision OF
Learned Judge.

Suppose you owned a dog and a
neighbor asked the courts to compel
you to keep 1t from barking and yelp-
Ing day and night. interfering with
his business and causing him and his
family loss Of sleep, and suppose the
court handed down a decree requiring
you to restrain your dog from bark
Ing, yelping and bowling. except in
cases OF burglary or fire." how would
you act about obeying the order?
If you fix it SO the dog cannot bark
at all and burglars invade your domi-
cile or Are breaks out and the dog
cannot bark, you may be robbed or
murdered in peril by disobeying the
Injunction that your restraint of the
barking, yelping and bowling shall ex-
tend only to those periods when there
Is no burglary or fire. For the order
expressly limits your right to restrain
any barking, yelping and bowling
aforesaid by those exceptions.
Must you sit up nights and look out
for burglars and fires and be ready to
remove your restraint of the dogs
Vocallzation when either or both ap-
pear?
Yes, you might get rid of the dog,
of course, but there is nothing said
about that. The law does not prohib-
1t you keeping the dog. All 1t Is con-
cerned about is that you shall not al
low the dog to become a nuisance
You have to place 1t under restraint
But you can at least congratulate
yourself that, unlike the trusts, you
do not have to worry about what con-
stitutes reasonable restraint because
there's not word about reasonable
ness in the law. All you have to do
is to restrain the animal from bark
ing, yelping and bowling, except in
cases of burglary or fire. The excep-
ton may, it is true, seem unreason-
able, but the law Is made to be obeyed
somehow and it leaves 1t to you to
find out how.

FIRST THEATER IN AMERICA
IL Was In Philadelphia and lts Walls
Are Only Now Crumblin0 Into
Dust.

There is an echo Of the past called
up by the falling of the walls of an
abandoned distillery on South street.
These walls once inclosed the first
theater that was erected in the United
States. 1T was burned out some years
later, but the walls have remained to
this day.
Ii surprise be noted over the loca-
ton OF tue theater 1t is only neces-
sary to point out that in the middle Of
the eighteenth century the moral and
civic spirit OF the day prevented the
proclamation of the city by any such
institution, so it was erected outside
the boundaries and was in what was
known as Southwark. OF the troub-
lous history of this artistic enterprise
much has been written. 1t is unfortu-
nate that records of the dramas given
are not complete and that we have
few contemporary criticisms from I'M
biased pens upon the artistic worth
of the thespian representations. 1t is
of record that the city authorities
were much shocked, that much of So
ciety with large 81 frowned on the
institution, and that rogues and vaga-
bonds were under the ban for a long
time.
But even in that day there were
those who found pleasure and profit
in attending the theater. A few years
later George Washington was of those
who patronized the enterprise. At
that day the name of Washington
might have stood against the world,
and many young men at least consid-
cred that it would do them no harm to
follow their leader to the theater
If we can believe what evidence is
available, dramatic managers in those
days had some illumination and in
SEPARATION, as we'll as being mere pur-
veyors of entertainment The supply
of plays was meager and not of high
class, according to modern standards.
The theater was i'll appointed and
poorly lighted But the actors and &C.
tresses seemed to have had some
spark of divine afflatus, for they re-
ceived concentrations from foreign
visitors who had seen the best the
world afforded.
The dawn of the American drama
cast feeble light, but we may now
catch few glintings of it as it's first
home in America tumbles into dust

struction or their habits, but the most
curious specimens are probably to be
round IN the woods Of Sumatra; and
these naturalists call. not without rea-
son, spider cheats" This insect, in
order to trap the flies, etc, on which it
leeds, hides on leaf and spins a
web OF neutral color, making an H.
fusion SO perfect that the prey not
only does not fly, but seems attracted
by the peculiar termination of the
web on the edge of the leaf. This is

Quotation on Wildcats.

The sons of ]. H. Brewer at Gran
vile have sold their large live wild
cat, captured one year ago, to r. At
water of Akron, Ohio, for IS. The
cat has been used to kill rats which
infest Mr.. Brewers barn.
The animal, which is apparently
eight or ten years old and weighs If
teen pounds, killed ten rats in less
than FIVE minutes when they were
thrown one by one into its cage. The
boys had some dangerous sport with
the wildcat few days ago when they
attached plough line about it's neck
and pulled it from the cage. Mr.
Brewer stopped the sport before any
of the lads were attacked by the fe-
rociOus animal. 1t was shipped by
express to Akron.

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING
DUCK Raiser Found Pepsln Of consId-
cradle Value, But He Has Dis
continued Its Use.

Refusing to eat any kind of food
onered to them. Charles Koch OF Port
chester, N. Y, concluded that his
mock OF one dozen ducks had a form
OF dyspepsia and decided to doctor
them himself. His method was not
entirely original. for he procured pep
SIN tablets and, ,dissolving them in
water, he contrived to get the fluid
down their threats with the aid of q
metal tube. Releasing them one by
one he sat down in the house to see
what happened
Almost magical effects were noted.
Instead of declining their usual pro-
vender, they ate it with ayidity and
came back for more. Scraps from the
family dinner table also disappeared
IN similar manner Delighted with
the success of his experiment Koch
administered additional doses of fluid
pepsin. Ducks eggs were one result,
But now the entire flock seems to
be always hungry. That has its disa-
greeable features. Seven O'Clock in
the morning is the customary feeding
time for the ducks, but 1t Is different
now. The ducks know where Koch
sleeps, and they assemble under his
bedroom window and quack in chorus
before five o'clock, keeping up the
din until he throws some food to
them. Two hours or so later they re-
sumo their clamor. So it goes all day.
Koch is getting eggs, but he is losing
sleep.
Take it from me-" he says, II have
stopped the pepsin."
