''TANNHAUSER" ON NEG
 FROM METROPOLITAN

His wish is granted, and he returns to Wartburg to seek Elisabeth's forgiveness and to sing again in one of the great song tournaments which the Landgraf holds.
 All of the other minstrels sing of spiritual love, but Tannhauser, still partly under the spell of Venus, sings of an unholier love. The knights of the castle are out ragged and would slay him, but Elisabeth pleads for his life. He is pardoned on the condition that he go to Rome to seek pardon from the Pope.
 The Pope, however, tells him his staff will put forth leaves before he pardons him, and Tannhauser, Respondent, starts to return to seek forgetfulness at the Venus burg. On the way he passes bier containing the body of Elisabeth, who had died of broken heart during his absence. overcome with grief, Tannhauser sinks to his knees and dies beside her. Sud- denly band of pilgrims appear carrying the papaPs staff. It has put forth green leaves.
 Arthur Bodanzky will conduct the opera, which will be sung in German. The cast will be as fol- lows:

LITTLE BENNY
BY LEE PAPE.

last mite I was sippose to be doing
my hcmewerk ony it was hard to do
on account of me still thinking about
the little white dog with spots in the
window at the berd and animal store,
me having wawked passed several
times today and he looked as If he
thawt he reckonized me each time,
and I thawt, I wonder If this would
be a good time to ask pop?
Meening if he would buy him for
me, and I said, Hay pop, do you think
it's true that horses and dogs are the
best trends of man?
I regard the virtues Of both species
as very much overestimated, pop said.
Perhaps there was something to be
said for the horse in former times
when he left his oats on the table to
drag a heavy fire engine to a fire in
wich he had no personel intrist, but
there are no more fire horses and the
modern craze for education has ruined
all the other horses morals. The
other day I read of race horse so
highly trained that he was cawt whis-
pering with his jockey in a plot to
throw the race in retern for ounces
of gin in his next drink of horse lini-
ment. Besides, the horse Is naturelly
a cowerdly animal. Many a time I've
seen a big strong horse pretend to look
strate ahead in an absent minded man
ner and then suddenly strike poor
little trusting fly with his tail, pop said.
But G, pop, that's not dogs, said,
and pop said, I was just coming 10
dogs.
They chase burgulers, don't they? I
said, and pop said, theoretically, but
axually they cant even chase a flea,
excepting to another part Of their
anatomy, unless they have human aid,
and in my opinion an animal takes its
place in the social scale according to
its ability to get rid Of its own para
sites. But why these questions pertain
ing to the animal kingdoms he said.
o, no special reason, said.
And I kept on doing my homework
feeling lucky I hadn't axually asked
him yet.

visable here because it is likely to throw
the no trump declaration into the wrong
hand. This factor must never be over
looked, maneuvering the no trump bid
decides SO many games.
Sometimes a strong responding hand
has a perfectly sound one-over-one re-
sponse, but it is desirable that the
opening lead be made up to his hard.
Should he make his normal suit re-
sponse the probabilities are that his
partner would bid a no trump to sign
off. In this event he would be placing
the contract in the wrong hand. So
instead of making the one-over-one he
responds with two no trumps. Now his
partner can rebid his suit and the re-
Sponder will then show his four-card
suit at and the opener will have the
choice of contracting for game in no
trumps. in the original suit, or In the
belatedly shown suit.
Suppose your partner has opened the
bidding with one heart.
Here is your holding:
Spades-A @ 97 Hearts,
Diamonds-K 10 Clubs-Q 1043
Instead of bidding one spade, bid
two no trumps If your partner bids
three hearts, bid three spades. With
this hand surely you are better of to

Your partner will realize that you
are strong in tenace positions and that
your suit is only four carder. He
knows that you hold two hearts Ca vir-
tual necessity of the response) and he
will thus have perfect picture of Jour
hand. His decision should prove un-
erring.
Occasionally some smart players not
necessarily good ones, though think
that with long solid suit in minor
and nothing in the other suits, two
no trump response is in order. All I
can say is that this is the most inex-
cusable abuse of partnership that I
know of, as probably the only player
round the tables likely to be deceived is
the partner of the responder. Bid your
minors as minors and leave the rest to
your partner. If the hand should be
played in no trumps, you'll get there.

Hawks.

lowing the smaller birds,
their prey, to the South, but they are
amply replaced by others, which de-
scend from regions locked in the long
sleep of snow and ice, to pass the short
days in our climate which, for them,
must seem mild even in February.
The common Winter visitants in this
class of birds are the red-tailed hawks,
and bitterly the farmer hates them.
Sometimes a hawk will venture right
into a suburban poultry yard, when
hunger drives him to It,, and there he
swoops down on hens ana chickens. If
you have ever seen him do it, you will
know what crafty fellow he is.
I remember an air raid of this sort
in North Carolina. There was already
great commotion in the chicken yard
at the hawks approach, but even So his
ing him along the fence, and when he
saw his moment he suddenly seized a
chicken with swift sideways snatching
of his talons. All the time he seemed
bound somewhere else, to be looking In
another direction. A perfect technique
for larceny!
Country folk say that these hawks
carry of squirrels-that must, indeed,
be battle of wits-but, of course, the
hawk has a better view Of the top or
open side of a tree than we on the
the red-tailed hawks line, but as
raider Of the farmyard he is exclusively
Winter bird.
The red-tailed hawk Is the real
chicken snatcher among our hawks, and
it is well to know him. He has large
wing spread and his length from head
to tail Is almost two feet. Seen from
below Gas we usually do see him) he
appears whitish or tawny, with brown
streaks, the tail gray, with band of
black near the end and tipped with
white. From above he Is dull brown,
streaked with grayish or rusty red
markings, the tail chestnut. In Spring
the birds often, near their nesting
grounds, keep up a frightful squealing,
as If somebody were injuring them
much rarer Winter visitant is the
American goshawk; few sharp-shinned
hawks and marsh hawks remain every
Winter; the wallow-tailed kite is ex-
tremely rare; the duck hawk is prob
ably regular Winter bird, but never
common. However, many Winters a
pair mas TAKEN up aDOQe In the tower
OF the Post Office on Pennsylvania ave-
nue., where, I presume, they are a lot
safer from hunters than If they were
to join their brothers on the Potomac
islands
The people who hunt hawks are In a
peculiar class. No hawk is good eating,
so that they are not killed for the ex-
cusable motives of real sportsmanship.
The farmer does not hunt them sys-
tematically; he merely blazes away at
hawks If his rifle is handy and his
poultry threatened. Hawk shooting
seems to be carried on by the some-
what misguided, good citizens who be-
leve this to be their civic duty-the
same, perhaps, who pull I'D ragweed
and poison ivy and eradicate their own
barberry and currant bushes. The re-
suit Is an increase of rats, mice and
rabbits, whose population hawks curtail.

"ARLY> the morning after he had
- so carefully set trap for Reddy
Fox, the farmer whose hens
IL Reddy and Mrs. Reddy had
breakfasted on few days before,
started for his henyard. confident that
If these Foxes had returned he would
find one of them there, fast In that
cruel steel trap. 1t had been cunningly
set. He was an old trapper, skilled In
the setting of traps and wise in the
ways of Foxes. He had taken special
care In the setting of this trap and In
his mind there wasn't a shadow OF doubt
that any Fox who came prowling around
that yard would be caught.
Before he reached the yard he could
see that there was no Fox there. Didn't
come last night after ALL" thought he.
"Well, won't let the hens out today
and I'll leave things just as they are
and perhaps one Of those Foxes will
come back tonight"
A few steps more brought him near
enough to get good view OF the yard,
and he emitted a low whistle of surprise
and chagrin. There, just inside the
slightly open gate. lay the trap in plain
sight, and it was upside down. Yes, sir,
that is just the way it was, upside down
That way it was, Of course, harmless.
1t had been dug up out Of the snow and
neatly turned over.
Now the story of all that had hap
pened had been clearly written in the
soft snow for those who could read it,
and the farmer could, for as said be-
fore, he was an old trapper. TO him
everything was as clear as If he had
seen all that had happened. With grow
ing interest he studied the tracks and
marks In the light soft snow.
There were two Foxes, just as
thought" said he. Here is where they
came along past the yard. There is
where one of them sat down Just to
one side. Here is where the other sat
right in front of the gate and studied
things. He was suspicious. Probably
the very fact that that gate was open
little way made him so. He has had
experiences with traps, that fellow has.
hidden Just inside, but he suspected
there was. So instead of walking in
and stepping in that trap as I expected
him to, he made long leap clear over
1t. Over there Is where he landed
Then he made straight for that little
entrance to the henhouse, but being
suspicious, he was careful how he ap-
preached it. When he discovered that
he couldn't get in where the hens were
he knew that his suspicious were well
founded.
HE didn't come straight back to this
gate, but circled around next to the
fence, until he was in back of this
slightly open gate. His tracks show
that. He noticed the little mound
where the snow had covered the little
log to which fastened the chain of
the trap, and dug down behind it to
find out what 1t was. Then he found
