His Last Look.

A church in the north Of Scotland
requiring a pastor had beadle who
took an active interest in all that con-
cerned the church. One Of the candi-
dates after the last service for the day
was over stepped into the vestry to
put Off his gown. He thought he would
have look at the church and, meet
ing the worthy beadle putting things to
rights, said:

church"
"Aye, TAX a guid look at it." said
the beadle, "for it's no likely yen ever
sect again" Dundee Advertiser.

Professor Armbruster asserts that
the reason very young children are rel

is that their hearts beat SO much more

that's it. Mr.. William Apjones
convinced me, anyhow. The Man

on.
Now this Strong Horse propo,

as l told you. He'd scuttled around
with the 'Paches, shacked with
Navajos, holed up with Hops.
He'd been admitted to every tribe

white man let out to the Injun, as
he wouldn't to us other whites,
through pride. And the Injun I'M
derstood and was sympathetic.
They hunted and fished and knock
ed around together for some time.
till one hot day, they come to a
pool, and stripped for a swim.
When the Injun saw that Blazing
Sun on Johnson's breast he stepped
back and threw up his hands. 1t
was the Maya's sign of the chief
of chiefs! Doubling yet. for an
Injun is an unbeiieving son-of-a-

stood the gaff.
''The Injun was full of excite

sometime at a Masonic funeral, so
he made a brand out of iron-a
nice round sun, and squirmy rays
coming away from it.
That initiation was something
fierce, believe me. Finally they
staked poor Johnson out-spread-

come for to brand him with that
red-hot blazing sun. Of course,
Jack only meant to scare him. But
Johnson had stood a lot, and when
he saw that, he beefed for fair.

before the other boys could inter

look like such good luck to John

be. When they let him up, he and
Jack had it. Everybody apologized
and tried to square it, Peterson

Johnson was mad clear through.

wrote the things that interested
him from day to day, ard also kept
track Of the calendar. Most cow
punchers wouldn't have known
much about the date. except that it
was past Christmas, and not yet
Fourth of July. He saw by his
book it was the Goth OF June.
Led by the Iniun, they hustled
back to camp, loaded up with grub,
took two OF the best ponies and
beat it fast and furious, toward the
Black Hills. Many a mile they rode
that night. and after two hours rest
in the morning, up and away again.
At daylight they saw the dark loom
of the Pahah-Sarpedon, and at S
O'Clock they were fair within the
Hills-pretty blame good climbing
but an Injun never gives damn
for horsefesh, and Johnson, he was
so worked up over the mystery of
the thing, he wasn't exactly consid-
crate, neither.
AT a certain spot, the Injun and
Johnson got off their horses. and
still pressing on in frantic haste,
they pushed deeper into the hills.
By and by it got wilder and wilder,
, till at last they struck a limestone
country, that looked as if it had
been split up with an AK. In the
turrings and twistings, and holding
on by an eyewinker and one spare
toe, and going On all tours. and
praying quiet but strong i'll the

his bearings. There is no doubt
the Indian twisted him on purpose,
yet he was in such a hurry, he
couldn't go far with it. They just

FLOATS GROUNDED SCHOONER.
Tug Carter Finds Vessel in Danger
of Serious Damage.

As the tug J. O. Carter was on her
way up the river yesterday she found
the two-masted schooner J. A. Holland
of this city hung on the piles of an old
coal wharf at the north end Of Alex
andria. The vessel was lying in such
position that the swells from passing
steamers were likely to cause her to
lift and fall on the sharp piles. and
this would have punched a hole In her
hull.
The Carter fortunately came along
soon after the Holland had gone on the
piles. but some trouble was had in
floating her. The vessel was not in
jured and went to the pier Of one OF
the fertilizer factories to load for a
river point. The Holland at the time
of the accident was endeavoring to
sail to her loading point. These piles
at Alexandria frequently catch vessels
as they are hidden from sight except
on extremely low tides. In the past
five years a dozen or more vessels have
struck them. and all were not as for
tunate as the Holland to escape un-
harmed.
The rivermen say a warning buoy
should be placed in front of the piles
to keep vessels away from them.

Eugene Blair. the widely known and
popular emotional star, is the lode
stone Of attraction at the Cosmos Thea
ter this week. in her new play, The
Reckoning Day." story woven among
characters of the underw orld in which
the chief dramatic incidents leading
to tragic climax grow out of the eff
forts of an erring mother to save her
innocent daughter. and avenge herself
upon the cause OF her own undoing
The plot Of the play is not complicated
rising up to which the highest art OF
the star in emotional lines is brought
into play and the audience breaks forth
into long and vigorous applause. Miss
Blair is we'll supported by small
company. She will continue with the
play to be the chief attraction in the
new bill. which will be introduced at
the Thursday matinee for the last half
of the week.

B. F. Keith's.

Wilton Lackaye's first appearance in
this city in-vaudexiAe- served. to bring
big audiences to Keith's yesterday after
noon and last night. He scored hit. His
character acting in THE Bomb" ranks
as one of his best efforts, and that is
saying a great deal. since he is consid-
cred as a leader along these lines. In
the short play Mr.. Lackaye t-kes the
part of a detective disguised s. an old
Italian. who, through a make-believe
confession, traps a culprit into the
hands of the law. The supporting COM
pany Is all that could be desired

Motoring" presented by an English
company under the guidance of Harry
Tate. with Harry Stephens as the prin-
cipal comedian. 1t is the old story of
a broken-down car told with new
trimmings and effects. Arthur Stone
and Marion Hayes have a side-show
effect in a country town that is orig
inal and extremely funny, the former
causing almost constant laughter.
Ralph Herr comes back with several
new songs that scored the usual big
hit. The Spanish violinist, Manuel
Quiroga, was well received in four diff
opened the performance with clever
gymnastic turn. Aubrey and Richie
followed in songs and dance. and the
dancing turn of George East & Co. was
very elaborate. The Pathe pictures
showed the opening game of the world
series and aroused the liveliest interest.

stage with the same nonchalance with
which she brings down the house" "
Mr.. Van Buren, takes full advantage
of the whimsical role of Macfarland to

succeeds admirably. With the aid of
ball and chain and other properties he
manages to get laugh after laugh. He

therefore, his impersonation of George
Mcfarland is a good one.

tificial and slightly artificial acting is
in keeping with the general atmos-
phere of the play. If Miss Rittenhouse
would be bit less dignified and more
by Mr.. Van Buren,. their work might
make more laughter.
J. Hammond Daily, as Wren. jailer,
vies again with Miss Rittenhouse for
the honors of the play. His presenta-
