Honey Boy Evans MinstreIs

Master Paul Van Dyke Is announced as .yodler, in the list of vocalists ac- companying Honey Boy" Evans to the Jefferson theatre Thursday, matinee and night.
 There is pretty little tale connected with his engagement by George Evans. During the summer of 1910 "Honey Boy Evans spent his vacation abroad and his travels took him to the famed dykes of Holland. In the city of Rotterdam one evening he was attracted by boy who was yodling. only the Holland young sters can. The minstrel mans manage rial ear was attracted and the use of a. es-'' 1rns soon brought tho boy to him. The little fellow was apparently poor, for h,s ciucnes hardly covered him, and the subsequent talk and investigation con firmed this first impression. MT. Evans learned that the boy lived with his par ents, who were honest peasants and had hard time making ends meet. He made an offer for the services of the boy to join his company and sing for American theatregoers as he had been singing that first night in the street of Rotterdam.
 When the boys parents found that their son would have to go to America to avail themselves of the offer they at once shook their heads. "No,'' they could not con- sent to that. IIe was ''too young, bye and bye, perhaps, but not now and so the minstrel lure was denied But Evans has had many letters from the boys fath- CT in the meantime, and now, in his 10th year, Master Paul is in America, and singing each night as the boys of Hol- land do on their native heath.

North American Peace

From the IOpehd JOuiHoi
 That supreme achievement which North America can show the world is an international boundary line between two nations across which in a hundred years neither nation ever once launch ed a menacing army or fired hostile gun. writes Dr. James A. Macdonald in the American Review of Reviews, Think of that achievement! A thou sand miles up the mighty St. Lawrence. a thousand miles along the great lakes, a thousand miles across the open prairie a thousand miles over ssa of mountains-40 miles where nation meets nation and sovereignty meets sovereignty. but never fortress. never q battleship never a gun, never a sentinel on guard! Four thousand miles of civilized and Christianized in- ternationalism--that is North America . greatest achievement.
 And why Americas achievement? Why America's alone? Not because these two nations are spent and wasted forces, degenerate sons of coward sires, weak to defend national right. glow to resent national insult.

NEW CALIFORNIA TRAINS Santa Fe Calls Attentions to Increas'
 in Traffic to Far West

The Santa Fe reports that tourist travel to California this winter is much better than last season. All of its five trans continental trains are running almost to full capacity. The European var seems to have stimulated interest in seeing America, particularly the far west.
 Prospects for Panama exposition busi- ness are so good that the Santa Fe ai- nounces a brand new daily fast train, Chicago to San Francisco and Los An Eeles, to be known as the Missionary. The name is a reminder of the old Span ish missions of California The Mission ary will make it's initial run February :, leaving Chicago 10:30 p. m., Kansas City 10:45 a. m., arriving Los Angeles 7:5O D. m., the third day out, and San Fran cisco a. m., following morning. It will traverse the Belen cut-off, saving many miles in distance, ono mountain range and several hours time. By this route there is d shorter line from Newton. Kan, through the Panhandle of Texas to Albu- querque. than the old main line through La Junta While missing the picturesque scenery of Raton and Glorieta passes the traveller who takes the Missionary will find muc hof scenic and historic interest in Abo Pass noted for it's wild grandeur and prehistoric ruins. Beyond the Rio Grande the route is that of the other Santa Fe trains to the coast.
 On the same date through service will be inagurated from New Orleans to Cal ifornia. via Gulf Coast Lines (Frisco) to Houston, thence Santa Fe all the way over the cutoff. This new train the California Special, will compete for ex- position traffic from the southeast to Pacific coast It will run over the short est line from New Orleans to San Fran cisca .-------- ----- --

Charles is his selection No one would credit his bull -headed young 1ordship with the brains to bring so momentous mission to & success full conclusion--no one, that is, save the truthful Clarissa.
 And so Lord Charles goes to Egypt, and after series of strange and won derful adventures, he gets what he Is after and cables his news to Disraeli who is tending his famous peacocks av his country home and sparring for time with his secret enemies The brilliant premier by coup made up in equal

Liebler company, promises an engage ment of unusual interest.
 MT. Parker has chosen for the theme of his play that period of the life of Disraeli when he concerned himself with an attempt to possess the key to a far continent and make his sovereign. the Queen of England, also Empress of India. The story shows the efforts of Dizzy as he was popularly calle1. to interest the Bank of England in his scheme to acquire the canal. and the efforts of emissaries of foreign coun- tries to prevent this acquisition by Great Britain
 One of these spies. working in the interest of Russia, is Mrs. Travers, posing as a lady of society. Another spy is her husband, Mir Foljambe, whom the apparently unsuspecting premier has taken into his office--the better to watch him. At a fashionable house party, where Disraeli and his wife, Lady Beaconsfield, are guests they meet a young nobleman.
