Stratton to push and twist and bind the broken bones into place, says a Spokane special to the New York World. All through the painful or deal Nip was quieted by the conversation carried on for his benefit, apparently real is:ipg the kindness of his human attend ants, and never once emitting as much as a whine.
 The injury consisted of break in the bones both below and above the knee, which left Nip helpless and moaning at Main and Bernard ssreeus He did not see the approaching auto, and the driver, after striking him, sped away without a look. Bystanders tried to catch the number on the rear of the machine but ere not quick enough.
 Chester Edwards, detective. called the humane society and in few minutes the injured animal was being hurried to the humane barns, where the leg was to be set.
 As soon as the last splint had been bound in place, Nip scrambled to his three good feet, touched ilis sore and stiff right foreleg to the floor and looked up gratefully, even trying to frisk about.
 Nip is of the cocker spaniel and Eng fish setter percentage, and was born last spring. He is a great pet of his master. Fritz Zimmer. one of the proprietors of the Stevens hotel, who has taken him home.

 Like the very spirit of the land, whose strange mysticism and stranger philoso- phies she would interpret through the lovely medium of her flashing fingers and twinkling toes Miss St. Denis is herself quite beyond the comprehension of the Caucasian mind. She deals in ideas and ideals. in forms and expressions. that have about them the impenetrable gauge of the mystic Orient. But in the deline- ation of beauty. which in it's highest sense has but one standard, she is thoroughly understood.
 Miss St. Denis has gathered about her a bit of the east itself and transplanted 1t to the American stage. Her attendants and very capable supporters are for the most part natives of the lands she depicts in her dancing. The musical mantle that that it disturbs the listeners peace of mind and produces an uneasiness that is only satisfied when the beautiful dancer fits on to the stage and melts into the melody as though she herself were the creator of it.
 Two new Japanese dance-plays and a modern dance entitled "The ScherZo Waltz will form a part of the pro- gramme. Special scenery aids the dancers in portraying all the various scenes of these Oriental dances.

Rachel, who came to America many years before, and has acquired both wealth and position Rachel is adopted by the rich uncle, but the change of fortune doesn't change her sunny, kindly disposition. Re- membering the young man who favored her so frequently on board ship. she looks him up and, of course, the love story works out naturally and they are happy ever afterwards. The scenes go all the way from the steerage of the steamer to the cafe of the Savoy and the elegant in- terior of the home on Riverside Drive The play is thrilling, full of emotional and comedy scenes, and the character drawing is said to be remarkable.
 Miss Bunting has the part of Rachel, and it is said she presents the character excellently. It affords her friends their first opportunity to see Miss Bunting in such a character role, and a the same time to witness her in stirring bit of ac- ton. MT. Whitaker appears as Joe Ru- bens, who befriended Rachel on board ship, and afterwards in New York, and it Is said to be a ves> acceptable part.
 The staging will be in keeping with the high class production that Miss Bunting has been offering in Birmingham. There will be performances every night during the week and matinees Tuesday, Thurs day and Saturday afternoons.

"DAMAGED GOODS" TO
 BE HERE THIS WEEK
Sociological Drama Will Be Presented at Jefferson Wednesday and
 Thursday

Richard Bennetts New York company of co-workers comes to the Jefferson the atre Wednesday and Thursday nights and great sociological drama, Damaged Goods" which has created wider interest than any other play produced on the American stage within the last decade. The New York Times has described it as the play which initiates a new epoch Of civilization.
 Damaged Goods is a powerful pur- posed drama and deals with a subject of the social evil and it's related social dis eases.' subjects hitherto considered ta- booed not only for the stage but for the pulpit and the press but the sincerity and startling franlSness of it's treatment and the earnestness with which MT. Bennett and his co-workers interpret Brieux g play. rob it of all unhealthy sensational ism and cause 1t to be accepted as a pro- found moral lesson.
 Eugene BrieuX, the author, has been called by many the "Ibsen of France" but the comparison is inept, for Ibsen only shows the gloomy side of life, while Brieux is an optimist.
 In the third act of Damaged Goods he holds out hope for the future, not only hope for the persons of his play. but for humanity as whole, so that the audi ence leaves the theatre stirred to action in an effort to stamp out a great social evil.
 So skeptical were theatrical managers concerning the reception which would be accorded the great sociological drama, Dana ged Goods,' that when Richard Bennett arranged for it's production in New York city three owners of theatres refused to allow the play to be presented in their houses when they learned the na- ture of it's subject matter. They over looked the fact that the play was not vi cious. but on the contrary taught moral lesson. William Harris, owner of tha Fulton theatre, finally came to MT. Ben nett's aid and offered the Fulton not only for the public performance but for all rehearsals Seat sale starts Monday.

D., president of the Interantional College of Vitosophy. and one of the worlds most eminent phrenol- ogists, will lecture on the new science of character study. known as ''Vitoso- phy,'' which is attracting world wide at tention.
