THE GIRL IX THE TAXI. One of tide funniest and most original scenes of "The Girl in the . Taxi," the merry sensation from Paris, Berlin, New York. Chicago and Boston, which comes to the Hammond theatre on next Sunday night, Feb. 4th. occurs at the end of the first act. The scene represents the home of John Stewart on Riverside drive. New York. The hour 1b about 11 o'clock and everyone has said Rood night and retired to their rooms. The lights are turned out by a chic French maid and the moonbeans stream in through the windows opening onto the veranda. All is quiet. Suddenly a door opens and Percy Peters,, Mr. Stewart's nephew from Philadelphia, wher has come to New York for throat treatment and is sup-'

posed to. be a very sick man, appears in full evening attire. He closes his door cautiously, locks it, skips over and listens at the other doors and then with a laugh, leaves the house to keep a midnight appointment with the "Girl in the Taxi" at Cafe Churchill. He has hardly gone when Papa Stewart cautiously emerges" from his room in evening, dress, listens at the other' doors and with the remark, "everybody sleeps but father," sails out of the house to meet a couple of chorus girls. No sooner has he gone, however, than Bertie; his innocent and unsophisticated, son, , creeps from his room, tiptoes to the dors of his father and his cousin Percy, and prepares to leave the house. Berties is hard pushed for money.

expectation aroused at the end of this act as to what will happen In the next has never been excelled in any play yet produced on the American stage. . Manager Kingwill personally guarantees the personnel and quality of this attraction.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON

It ia written of Robert Louis Stevenson, that on seeing a dog mistreated, be at once interposed and when the owner resented his interference and told him, "It's not your dog," he cried out, "It's God's dog, and I'm here to protect it." I have been wondering today if we that is, you and I, and all the other women who cannot bear-' that there shall be unnecessary suffering in the world, even among the dumb brutes cannot do something to protect God's delivery horse - As X sat at my, window this morning, I saw at least half a dozen delivery wagons of various kinds go by at a rattling pacesometimes a fast trot sometimes a pathetic feeble gallop. Two or three stopped within my line of vision and I watched the horses stand panting, and sometimes even trembling and shaking, while the boy went into the house, and saw them lashed into a gallop again as soon as the boy had clambered back into his seat. Two or three of the horses were very old- One was a light carriage horse that should never have been put Into a heavy delivery team at all. Now all delivery horses have a hard enough time with their long routes and cold Istops,even if they are allowed to goat a reasonable pace, but perpetual hurry breaks down a horse even more quickly than it does a man and it was evident that these poor hounded animals were suffering cruelly from the continual strain. Now, surely If you are enough interested in animals to notice them at aU you must have seen simlhir conditions. You admit it, but you don't see any possible way you could help prevent such condition. I am not so sure of that. I Ncan think of one simple way at once. Some of these hoys were driving their horses at such a wicked

speed, because they enjoyed it, or-be-cause they weren't given time enough i to, cover their round at a reasonable pace. But some of them were rushing because they had to nil some huVry order. Madame had forgotten to give her order until just before lunch, and had urged the grocer when she finally-., did telephone him to "send it up as quick as possible, please." And it was to nullify . the effects of her forgetfuiness that some poor ttred horse was forced into a gallop. That's one self-evident way you can take care of God s delivery horses, isn't it -by sending In your order at the proper tim and. if you forget, taking the consequences of your own forgetfulness and not asking some poor animal Jtp. suffer. ' And here's another way. Can't you speak to the boy who delivers your groceries, if you sea him over-driving your horse, ; tell him you don't want jour groceries brought you by iJi-treat-od animals. Tell him you spoke to him first to give him a .fair chance, but if he doesn't do better, you'll speak to his emoloyer - ' A great many times I think the employer would be more indignant than anybody if he knew how his horses were treated, for

pensive things and be can't afford to have them wastefully used. But when you suspect that the fault lies with the employer's short-sightedness and cruelly, can't you have the eourage to speak directly to him and even use the loss of your trade as a club to club a little decency and humanity into him? You think he would say that the horses were his and that you, were Interfering in wTuf ,was none of your business. Perhaps so. But surely you'l know what retort to make to that. KUTH CAMERON.-

The castled era; of Drachenfels Frowna o'er the wide and vilndinir Rhine, 'Whose breaat of water broadly awella Between the basks which bear the vine, And hill all rich with blomomed tree. llelda which promiae corn and wine, And scattered eitiea crownina; these Whose far white walls along them shine. Hare strewed scene, which I should see With double Joy, wert thou with me.. And peasant girls, with deep-Mae eyes. And hands which offer early flowers, Walk smiling o'er this paradise; Above, the frequent feudal towers Thru green leaves lift their waUs of gray, And many a rock which steeply lowers.
