MEAT TO BE LUXURY

His Early Reputation.

When Lloyd George was young
country solicitor in Wales, he was
riding home in his dogcart one day, and
came upon little Welsh girl trudging
along so YEARLY that he offered her
ride She accepted silently, and all the
way along, although the future states
man tried to engage her in converse
ton. he could not get her to say any
thing more than Yes or No"
Some days afterward the little girls
mother happened to meet Mr., Lloyd
George, and said to him smilingly, DO
you remember my little girl riding
with you the other day? Well. when
she got home she said, Mamma, | rode
from school with Mr.. Lloyd-George,
the lawyer, and he kept talking to me,
and l didn't know whatever to do, for

AT THE COLUMBIA,

Festival week which brings an ag-
gregation Of expensive and renowned
acts to the Columbia theatre for seven
days opens on Sunday afternoon.
Manager Blanchard has made an eX-
ira effort to provide such pair of
bills that he is convinced will please
his patrons. The two feature acts of
the first half beginning Sunday will
be Madame DOree's opera company
and Choeberts remarkable Manchur-
ianse Madame Dorees singers, ten in
number, will present the most popu-
lar excerpts from famous operas. On
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday, selections from "Traviata,"
Faust and Carmen" will be sung,
and on Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day, they will render the most popu-
lar scenes from II TrOvatore" and
Lucia De Lammermoor The latter
will bring out the full strength of the
company All are declared to be ar
lists.
Cheeberts Manchurians are China
men with different act. A year ago
they were featured at the Majestic the
atre in Chicago and were brought
back after several weeks. being well
coined by still larger crowds. These
seven oriental marvels perform
strange feats that have never been
seen out of their native country. They
are not exactly acrObats and yet their
act has something of that nature in
it. Hanging by queues while perform
ing lightning gyrations is only one of
their stunts.
Friend and Downing, pair of Euro
pean knockabout comedians, are hail
ed as the wonder funmakers They
are both friends OF famous pugilists
and work much of their fun along the
boxing line
Lawton is comedy 1uggler who has
been popular for number of seasons
before metropolitan audiences. His
chief claim to theatrical fame is. that
he is original in all of his comedy.
Ben Smith is known as 1.-THE Funny
Little Playmate in Burnt Cork" Three
weeks ago he was regarded as one of
the best things on the bill at the Pal
ace theatre, New York.
In addition to all Of this, Manager
Blanchard has doubled his orchestra
to add to the festival aspect of affairs
in general and to make the grand
opera acts go better in particular. In
stead Of five there will be ten men in
the pit with a special Instrumentation

consumption by the armies Of Europe

serious matter when it is considered
that with these inroads upon live stock

For the time being, however, the
problem affects the central powers
