PLAZA

''The Man TraiI,'' the great red b1ooded photop1ay dealing with the rough and rugged characters bred in. the logging camps of the great out of-doors, will be shown in six parts at the Plaza the latter half of the week. The story is based upon the savage freedom of the great North Woods, where men bulk big and life runs large. Its plot centers about a log gtng camp where men laugh and drink together or fight hand to hand to the death for life or love with the same quickness and disregard of con- sequences. There is a constant clash of characters and a series of cIimaxes so intense that each seems as though it might be the last. But they are graded so deHcately to the great cul- 1ninating scene that there is not a sem b1ance of an anti-climax. It is play that holds you in grip of vital in terest from the first scene to the last and will unquestionab1y prove the big gest drawing card the Plaza has, had to offer in many weeks. In addition to this extraordinary feature, @ pro- gram of vaudeville attractions gIean- ed from the choicest pages of varie-. ty has been selected.

like the Paraguay people. They are
polite, and you are Hospitality treated
wherever you travel throughout the
country. You find that the clothes OF
the poor are exceedingly scanty. All
the women go bare-footed and all go
bare-headed. The babies go naked, and
you may see boys and girls of twelve
or thirteen who have on no clothes to
speak of. The woman's ordinary cos
tune is a skirt and jacket or a low-cut
chemise which reaches from the neck
to the feet. Most of the women wear
shawls that look like sheets and, in.
deed, some are used for this purpose
at night, so that woman takes part
of her clothes from her bed when
she goes out to walk.
The people have but few wants. The
country is warm. and fruit is plentiful.
The huts you see out in the country
have but little furniture. A hammock
or so or one or two cot beds, made OF
canvas and stretchers, a table and q
couple of chairs form good house,
keeping outfit. The cooking is often
done over an open fire in a shed and
stoves are not common.
The chief meals outside the cities are
breakfast at IL o'clock and dinner at
6 o'clock, with a cup of mate in tho
morning on rising. The food is chiefly
puchero, a soup of boiled beef and
vegetables, including mandioca. po-
tato-like root that is dried and ground
into flour. The soup is eaten first and
the boiled beef and vegetables form the

glass of brandy as soon as you enter a
house, and it is considered strange IL
you do not accept a cigar. Nearly
every village has it's brandy distillery.
and it is estimated that the average
Paraguyan drinks something like two
gallons of that liquor a year.

river and half hour or less takes US
far into the country. Here the scenes
are much like those of the United
States. Near the capital the country is
settled. There are grasslands with
patches of woods scattered here and
there through them. The cultivated
fields are few. The country is mostly
made up of pastures upon which sheep
and cattle are feeding.
Here and there over the land sea pc
you see the low one-storied houses of
the rich farmers and the huts or shacks
of the poor. The larger houses are
painted red or white. Some have long
verandas in front of them with cement
have palm trees about them and now
and then above the palms is seen the
wheel of an American windmill flying
around through the air. The roofs are
of red tiles which shine brightly under
the sun. Sometimes one sees roof of
thatch which has velvety hue.

a city of 10000 more. There are
many villages The little houses run
along the sides of roads, which are I'M
paved and unsidewalked. The soil of
the roads is red and they make strips
of brick dust running through the
green fields. Only the larger towns
have buildings of cement or brick.
The villages are largely of shacks
rooted with thatch or red tiles. Some
of the shacks are built like our log
ca bins, having room at each end and
an open space in the middle with a roof
covering the whole. Often only one
third of the house will be closed in, the
other two-thirds consisting only OF
roofs upheld by posts. The climate
here is like that of southern Florida
and no artificial heat is required
AS we ride through the country we
see many huts that seem to have been
painted bright red AS we come closer
we find that they are made of poles
chinked with mud. Red is the color OF
the best lands of Paraguay, and the
contrast between the red soil and the
velvet gray of the thatch is wonderful
ly beautiful. In some respects the
country houses make me think of those
of Japan.

dictate which is making the extension
to the falls and tine connection with
the Brazilian railways. in which it has
very large interests. The capital of
the Paraguay Central, including stocks
and bonds. is in the neighborhood of
fifteen million dollars. The road is
already shipping timber, tobacco and
fruit to Buenos Aires. and of late it
has begun to put on cattle trains. The
passenger traffic is increasing, and
eventually it will command most of
the travel to and from Paraguay. AS
it is now there are sleeping and din

class cars. They are patroniZed almost
exclusively by the Paraguayans, and as
a rule the passengers are women rather
than men. Nearly all the women
are smoking. and 1 saw girls of from
six to sixteen with big cigars in their
mouths. There are women smoking CT

come to the windows and offer you
punches of cigars at the rate of about

am surprised at the beauty Of Para
quay. Much of the country is like a
great English park, with groves scat
tered here and there through beautiful
meadows. The only difference is the
palm tree, which is to be seen every
where waving it's fan-like leaves in the
air. The most of the lands are held in
large tracts. There are but few fences,
and you ride on and on over plains COW
cred with grass, seeing hills here and
there in the distance. The landscape is
been before it was settled The whole
country seems to be a natural park,
slightly rolling, with vast expanses of
pasture that reach on and on to the
horizon, where they are. lost. in the
woods. There is but little cultivation.
You go for miles without seeing a
patch of grain or plowed field. The
country seems to be almost all pasture
and woods. much of which is the same
now as when owned by the Indians be-
fore South America was discovered.
Almost all the land along the railroad
is owned by some one or other. A great
part of it is in large holdings and not
a little is devoted to stock-raising. 1
saw thousands of cattle and was told
that If the grasses were improved the
land might support three or four times
what it does now. In my interview
with the president, his excellency said
that Paraguay could feed forty or
fifty million head of stock. If the coun-
try back of the railroad is as good as
that lying near it he is probably right.
In some places the grass is as high as
your knees and in some as the cattle
feed. they stand in grass to their bel
lies. Much of the herding is done by
