HERE'S A TRUE
TALE OF 2 MEN
in THIS CITY
This is a tale Of two men.

This is a tale of two men.
One OF them Is Jack Dawson, a
one-armed man in the West End.
The other is II. l.. Houck, a busi-
ness man.
Jack caught his toe In a spike
the city had carelessly allowed to
stick up on Emma street and
having but one arm, down he
went and wrecked his only good
member. He was laid up some
weeks and had to get the neigh
bors to dress him. lie asked the
council for $75 to pay his doctor
bill and for loss of time.
But the petition for financial
assistance neglected to state all
the technicalities the law requires
and Jacks claim was thrown out
for not complying with the legal
red tape.
Browder Brown appeared be-
fore the council Wednesday and
made a plea for Dawson on the
broad grounds of human Justice,
waving legal technicalities.
Nothing doing with the council
for Jack.
Ten minutes later Commission
er Mills brought up the case of
the other man, II. l.. Houck.
Houck, too, was unfortunate. He
happened to be on the street with
his horse and wagon when the
auto apparatus swept down the
18th street bridge. The machine
hit him, killed his horse and
broke his wagon. Houck asked

Worlds Greatest Dancing Master Describes His
Own Dance---The One Step
BY MAURICE.
written especially for the read
ers OF the Times.)

efs Oh the l1mes.D
The Maurice Walk, or One
step, danced to any one-step
time, is SO simple to teach that
Photographic poses are hardly
needed. In the above pictures l
have shown some of the more
striking pastures with which Miss
Walton and vary the dance when
on the stage. They can, however,
be used in the ballroom with per-
feet propriety by good dancers
with enough dramatic sense to
carry it off well.
The dance starts with the ordi-
nary one-step walk. The gentle
man holds the lady in front of him
and she walks backward for eight
bars and then starts forward while
he goes backward.
Then, coming close to the gem
tleman, the lady puts her right
arm over his left shoulder and he
let's his left arm hang loosely at
his side. In this position they
skip down the hall for sixteeh
measures, the gentleman back
wards, the lady forwards. This
skipping step is exactly the one
that all children know and use
often in preference to walking.
On the seventeeth bar the
couple drops into the deep dip
known to those familiar with the
Texas Tommy" The gentleman
gives a little jump backwards and
bends both knees, dropping to the
floor with his left foot and his
right knee. The lady jumps for
ward at the same time and kneels
with her right foot and left knee
on the floor. Then she jumps
backward and he forward so that
their kneeling posture is reversed.
These two jumps are repeated
again, and then, as they rise to
their feet, she puts her right hand
behind her waist, and the gentle
man, taking it in his right hand,
whirls he raround SO that she
flies out and away from him.
Then she gives him her left
hand and he pulls her quickly in
to him. She throws her right
arm around his neck and, resting
it on his shoulder, dances once
completely around him while he
stands still. Finishing in the
posture shown in Figure /, they
dance forward several measures
in the skipping step first used,
and then come to position for the
grapevine.
The next movement. after a.

gentleman jumps backward with
