Coming 10 Majestic

Mollie Williams, who is presenting
at the Majestic theatre Monday
Mollie williams Greatest Show, has
certainly achieved something out of
the ordinary in show producing.
There is a new note of originality
in the entire production, new style
of beauty about the girls, a new
strain of tunefulness about the
music, a heretofore unknown diver
sity about the special features and
a general touch of freshness about
everything. Miss Williams has
shown that she can produce a bur
lesque show in a new way and
eclipse the efforts of those who be-
lieve they can please the burlesque
public by doing all the old things
over in a similar way to what they
have been done before.

ABLE TO FOLLOW ANY TRAIL
Ahnds, East Indian Sect, Are Among
the Most SkiIlfuI Trackers
in the World.

The Ahnds, natives Of Jaum. In
dia, are among the most skilled ami
NAL crackers in the world, according
to R. G. Burton, writing in the Field.
They track bears, panthers and other
jungle creatures by mere shadow
of a footprint and also by marking"
a system of watching.
When marking" animals the ma
tiyes turn out before sunrise and
watch the animals as they stink
back to their lairs Then when the
hunters take a position of vantage
the markers aids surround the ami
NAL on three sides, and drive it out
from cover
The Ahnds often track bears across
solid rock, where the creatures claws,
scratching the surface, leave a mark.
The panther's tread is so soft that
no impress is made, save where the
ground is soft enough to take the pug
of the pussyfoot, and yet they track
these wary animals when they show
near the village.
