Thursday. December II, The Para
mount Entertainers
In organizing this company one
prime object has been kept plain
Iy in view, namely, the grouping of
three artists of recognized worth in
music and drama capable OF pre-
senting real artistic value. Each
member of the company Is an art
ist, each solo and reading game
and the ensemble numbers are all
that could be desired. In addition
to the musical readings and read
ings one or more dramatic sketch
es will be given on each program
This company carries three per-
sons.
Monday, January s, The Woodland
Male Quartette.
This male quartette is the answer
of a well defined and insistent
want, and In presenting this COM
pany the management feels that
this demand has been met. First,
as singing quartette; this is q
straight singing quartette without
any musical attachments other
than the piano which is used for
accompaniment in solo work. This
company is made up of the best
voices Obtainable for solo and
quartette work, each member has
had abundant experience in public
recital and long ago proven his
ability. Second, as harmonized
quartette, it is possible on an
hours notice in any large city to
select four good singers. The har-
moniZing of voices, however, is q
radically different matter and vote
es Individually good may fail to
register in ensemble work.
The selections of this company
have been carefully made and in
clude gems from the most popular
Opears of all times as well as indi.
vidual selections of lighter ma
ture. The Woodland sketch which
is presented serves as a setting
and introduction for the numbers.
Monday, February 9, Clarissa Har-
In the gifted and charming per-
son of Miss Harold the manage
ment presents one of the greatest
platform finds of many seasons.
Miss Harold is an artist of inherit
ed ability really remarkable. Her
programs are almost startling in
their faithfulness to types depicted.
In the entire range of readings of
fered, it is to be seriously doubted
If an artist could be secured who
will afford greater Instructive
pleasure to the people. Her work
is of that high order of excellence
that makes it a delight to offer
her on a course. Miss Harold is
one of the leaders offered by the
Redpath management this season.
Wednesday, March "a, Laurant, The
Magician.
The great Laurant with his as
sistants comes as the last number
of the course. For more than sew
enteen years this great magician
has been a Chattauqua and Ly-
ceum headliner. For more than
ten years he has been with Red
path--a fact which speaks for it.

devoted to the lyceum platform,

HE SLAPS SPIDER ON WOMAN
Whisky Soaked Imagination Leads
Oregon Man Into Police
Court.

Portland, Ore-It wasn't pink
elephant or a purple snake that John
Dick thought he saw upon the shoul-
der of a woman pedestrian on the
downtown street, but the bibulous
Johns whisky-soaked Imagination in
veigled him into believing that large
crimson spider was crawling stealthily
upon the woman's coat, near her
throat.
John crept slyly upon the woman
and his fist came down with undue
force where he thought the spider
was crawling. In another instant the
woman called for help, and a few
moments later John was aboard a po-
lice patrol on his way to the station.
In the police court John admitted
he had partaken too freely Of bottle
of 'white mule" moonshine. He was
surprised to learn that the blood red
spider was but figment Of his whisky
soaked brain, but he sorrowfully adj
mitted that the liquor had been po-
tent enough to produce almost any
result.
Judge Rossman prescribed SIC
fine and seven days in Jail as fitting
treatment for his ailment.

The Cri de Paris, the weekly gos-
sip magazine, says that Maj. Sir Will
liam Orpen, the painter, who is still
working on pictures Of the peace con-
ference, was haunted by the idea, when
he was young, that the was very ugly.
He used to turn his face aside in
the street to avoid being seen.
Working as an art student, he no
ticed that his fellow-pupils, by dint
of mental concentration upon the beau
tiful models Of antiquity, gradually
came somewhat to resemble them in
their own features. Orpen eagerly
awaited promotion to the same class.
and determined to spend all his time
copying the Venus de Milo. II shall

fortunately" he continues, when l
was promoted to copying antiquity my
master made me spend the whole year
drawing nothing but The Dancing
Faun,' so that I never realized my am

Dainty gifts covered in cretonne are'
certain to find a welcome In any
household, and such a variety OF
things can be made that you will have
no difficulty in filling want of each
one whom you wish to remember on
Christmas day.
The unique pair of book ends in
Fig. / are made of sirup cans. The
secret of making satisfactory book
ends is to properly weight them so
they will not upset, and the book
ends illustrated are weighted by fill
ing the cans with sand.
Cretonne with small patterns is the
most desirable for small articles, and
patterns with dark backgrounds are
preferable for articles such as the
book ends, which are likely to soil
through much handling. Sew a piece
of cretonne around the sides of each
can, then by means of a gathering
string gather the cloth as indicated in
Fig. l. Sew fancy button, or Gre
tonne covered button, to the center Of
the top.

oner and will remain one for long
time if Mrs. Metz has her way.
Pollys downfall occurred on a re-
cent afternoon.
For several weeks Polly has been
in the habit of picking twigs from
the trees, grass and other things from
the lawn and carrying them into the
house. Mrs. Metz would scold Polly,
but it did no good. On the afternoon
alluded to the parrot was in the gar
den. Mrs. Metz was attracted by her
chatter She went to the door and
spoke to Polly, leaving the door open.
Pretty soon Polly flew into the house
with long, squirming object dangling
from her mouth, and entered the par
lor, followed by Mrs. Metz. When
Polly dropped the object Mrs. Metz
fed from the house.
The object was brown snake two
feet long The woman called her hus-
band, who was working in the garden.
Metz secured a club and found the
snake behind a chair. He struck at
1t, missed it and the snake crawled
under the carpet. He tried to drive
it out, but it would not move. Metz
called a neighbor, John Boots, who
came at once. The men removed the
furniture, took up the carpet, rolled
the snake up in it, carried it outdoors
and there killed the snake.
Meanwhile the bird set up screech-
ing and frequently shouted: Hard

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local Applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
Of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inf1amed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inf1amed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the Mucous Surfaces.
