tatf: SAUCER TRACK Motorcycle Club May Organ

ize Stock Company. Flans' for the construction of a clrfoalar saucer board racing track are feeing rapidly formed by tbe Richmond (Motorcycle club, which desires to see Hbe track constructed this year if possible. Tbe club will make an attempt to secure option of grounds upon -which to construct the track within a short time. To construct tbe board saucer track It would require from $8,000 to $10,000, tbe secretary of tbe association says. It is the idea of tbe club to form a stock company to build tbe track. To organize a company of $10,0000 capital stock would require a great deal of hard and persistent work, the officers say, but they declare that it can be done. The local club bas been working on this idea for some time. A few months ago it sent a committee to Chicago to Inspect the saucer track In that city. It is the plan to build a quarter-mile track here. A campaign for new members of the club will be launched within tbe near future. At tbe present there are fifty motorcycle riders wbo hold membership in the organization. No definite plans have been made ;for the motorcycle races this year, but it Is assured that races will be held on July Fourth and Labor Day. A Wedding Ring Superstition. Although there was a lifelong friendship to back up their business deals, the Jeweler was not surprised when bis old customer wbo bad married n second time bought the wedding I ring at another shop. "If be should take a third wife be would buy the ring at still another tore." tbe Jeweler Raid. That is one iof tbe superstitions of the trade. A man may bare tbe marrying habit ever so bad and require several wedding rings In bla time, yet be never buys any two of them from the same place. Jeweler do not expect H. They don't want to sell two wedding rings to the same man. Bad luck would surely light on all concerned, and there is enough trouble In tbe world anyhow without deliberately Inviting more of It by defying a good old wedding ring superstitutlon." New York Times. Her Recommendation. A woman prominent as a social work er waa in the city to engage a new girl the other day. She visited an employment agency which makes a specialty of finding places for country housemaids and was mucb pleased with on from tbe conntry. "Why did yon leave your last placer asked tbe woman. MI didn't bave no last place," anawered the girl, "because I ain't had no last place to leave, and I'm atlll working at It. being for myself that I've been working, and I'm sure I'm a good servant, and I can recommend myself to yon, ma'am." Exchange. Meledramatle. dramatist waa condemning two melodramas that bad bad an unmerited success among the less cultivated portion of tbe public. "Tbe first." said the dramatist In bla epigrammatic way. "was all blood and thunder, and the other waa all thud and blonder.' Proof Positive, lira. De Pretty Horrors!

Amusements THEATRICAL CALENDAR. At the Gennett Feb. 17 "Dr. Beans From Boston." Feb. 19. "Louisiana Lou." At The Murray All Week Vaudeville. At Coliseum. Feb. 23 Symphony orchestra eoncert. At Earlham. March 6th Shenk recital, Lindley Hall. "Louisiana Lou. "Such pretty girls in such pretty clothes such clever girls this town has not beheld in many, many years!" wrote James O'Donnell Bennett in the Chicago Record-Herald of Sept. 4, 1911, the day following the Chicago premiere of "Louisian Ixm," the La Salle Opera-House success which will be given here on next Monday night in the Gennett theater. The thirtytwo pretty girls whose singing, dancing, grace, beauty and skill caught Mr. Bennett's fancy in the opening night of the long Chicago run of this great Chicago success will be the girls who will be seen when "Louisiana tau" is given here. The Chicago La Salle maintains a school for singing and dancing girls: that is why the Harry Askin casts are always admired on tour for the skill of the "merrymerry." "Dr. Beana From Boston." That animals are capable of foretelling danger was never better illustrated than in the case of the trained mule "Patrick." owned by S. H. Dudley, the well known negro comedian who is starring in the latest musical comedy success "Dr. Beans from Boston" presented by "The Smart Set" company, which will be the attraction at the Gennett Saturday afternoon and night During the past summer, "Patrick," was placed in board on a farm near Chester, Pa.. Mr. Dudley's home. "Patrick" and Dudley are much attached to each other and the comedian often visited his pet. One Sunday, during the month of July. Dudley came from New York in an automobile with a party of friends. Dudley, who was on his way to Chester to catch a certain train, had to pass the farm. As soon as "Patrick" espied him he began to bray. . . Of course, this was a signal for D.Viley to light and see his pet. He proudly showed the animal to hia friends Jand "Patrick" seemed to be pleased with the unusual attention. Aa Dudley did not have much time, and aa he was afraid of losing his train he took leave of "Patrick" with as much dignity as he could. As

Louisiana Lou

gan to bray in a most mournful and significant manner, in fact it was so loud that Dudley thought something had happened to the mule. When he remained with "Patrick" it was all right but when Dudley made an attempt to depart tbe braying continued until the whole neighborhood was aroused. Finally Dudley tore himself away. During the session with "Patrick" Dudley lost about a half an hour's time and missed his train. He was furious and so were his friends. About two hours afterwards they were glad that they had not taken the train for it met with a serious accident in which 20 persons were killed and a number injured. Dudley thinks that "Patrick," in his dumb way, had an instinct as to what was going to happen and that he thought he would convey it best as he could by braying.

Shah Jehan In 1631 built tbe present city of Delhi, close to the old Delhi, and made it . the royal residence. The Mohammedans still call it Shabjehanabad, the "city of the king of .tbe world." Nadir Shah, the Persian usurper, captured it In 1739, massacred thousands of the inhabitants and boro away plunder to the value of nearly $100,000,000, including the famous peacock throne and the great Kobinoor diamond. Tbe British first came Into control in 1803. when the Mahrattas wetV defeated near Delhi by Lord Lake. When tbe sepoy mutiny broke out in 1857 Shah Mohammed Bahadour, then ninety years old, took command of the city and until the English again triumphed enjoyed the imperial state to which he bad long been a stranger.

A Comedy Scene In Which Grief Play ed a Leading Part "Stage fright Is not one of the emotions which get across the footlights. writes Miss Alice Crawford. "Audiences are for tbe most part as serenely unconscious of it as they are of other individual sentiments In tbe actors baring no relation to tbe incidents of the play. "I shall never forget an Instance of this curious Insensibility of tbe crowd. Once when I waa touring one of tbe most charming and popular girls of tbe company died after only a few days' Illness. She was one of those sweet, tranquil natures and bad endeared herself to us all. Her death In lodgings in the small provincial town bad an element of real tragedy In it. "The news that she was dead reached the theater In tbe evening Just as two of tbe actors and I were about to go on for a scene of broad comedy. We went on tbe stage with tears in our eyes, and I can still see the face ; of one of those comedians with the great tears glistening on tbe paint He was dreadfully affected. Try as he would, be could not control his voice, and the tears kept choking him as he rattled off his lines. - "The andlence were convulsed every time bis voice brokevand It made me cry more than ever to see tbe grief shaking him as be grinned and chaffed through bis tears. Yet tbat comedy scene never went so well before. Tbe audience never guessed." Exchange. STORY OF A MUD HEN. And the Men Whe Tried to Sheet or Drown the Bird. It is a mighty bard thing to down a mud hen." said a Portland official. "Every one knows this homely bird, so clever that It can dodge the flash of a gun. making it very bard to kill if any one ever wanted to kill one. "A friend of mine wbo was a great hunter, but not acquainted with tbe mud ben. was out hunting on tbe Co lumbia sloughs some years ago when he saw what he thought was some kind of duck floating on the water. He aimed bis shotgun and fired, but the bird dived as the gun was discharged, and the shot struck the water where the bird bad been a moment before. Aa the smoke cleared away tbe hunter saw the bird come to the surface, and be gave It the other barrel, with the same result "His obstinacy was now aroused, and he determined to kill tbat bird before he left the place. He shot away every round of ammunition be bad. but the bird dodged every one and still floated In tbe same spot In great disgust my friend aat down on tbe bank and lit bla pipe. At the first puff of smoke the bird dived again, and this gave him hi inspiration. "To make a snort story, be smoked up all bla tobacco In an effort to drown the mud ben. but when ttarkneaa fell and be started for home tbe bird waa still floating in tbe aame old epot"Portland Oregonlan.

CAWALS IN HOLLAND. Simple Seheme That Keep Children From Falling Into Them. Tbe Dutcb peasant Uvea with canals all about him and reaches his cottage by way of a drawbridge. Perhaps It la In the blood of the Dutch child, says a writer In London M. A. P.. not to fan Into a canal. At all events the Dutcb mother never appears to anticipate such a possibility. One can imagine tbe average English or American mother trying to bring up a family in a house surrounded by canals. She would never have a moment's peace until the children were in bed. But then tbe mere sight of a canal to tbe English child suggests the delights of a sudden and un

expected bath. An Englishman Inquired of a Dutchwoman. "Does a Dutch child ever by any chance fall Into a canal?" "Yea," she replied, "cases have been known." "Don't you do anything for it?" continued tbe questioner. "Ob, yes." she answered. "We haul them out again." "But what I mean it" explained the Englishman, "don't you do anything to prevent their falling in to aave them from falling In again?" "Yes." she answered; "we spank them." OLD FRENCH COACHES. The One In Which Henry of Navarre Was Assassinated. As regards tbe history of coaches in France. Henry IV. was assassinated in 1C10. Soon after his death some engravings were published representing him being murdered In his carriage by Ravaillac. It is from these tbat we get a fair idea of tbe coaches. They are simply square boxes, meas uring by scale six feet in length by three and a half feet In width, on four wheels of tbe same diameter, without any spring or straps and seating six persons in all namely, two with their backs to tbe horses, two facing tbem and two more, one on each side of tbe two "boots" at the side. Each vehicle had a roof resting on light columns and curtains to draw or to let down. This agrees well with tbe received accounts of tbe incident according to one version of which Henry rode In an open carriage, and according to anoth er that as soon as tbe fatal blow was delivered by tbe assassin the king's attendant who rode with him in the carriage drew tbe curtains and. biding tbe king from public view, assured the euraged people that be was only wounded. London Notes and Queries. The Mirror Galvanometer. Some interesting tales are told ct Lord Kelvin's discoveries and bow the ideas of tbem came to bis quick mind. For instance, this is said to bave been tbe way in wbicb be found the mirror galvanometer: He was puzzling over the difficulty of perfecting the ordinary telegraphic apparatus used 'on overhead wires, wbicb was not suited for the varying current passing along cables. Tbe lagging of the electric currents bad the effect of making tbem run together into one bottom current with surface ripples wbicb correspond to tbe separate signals of the message. Tbe problem was bow to Invent a means of interpreting clearly and easily all tbe delicate fluctuations. One day Lord Kelvin's eyeglass fell off and swung in front of tbe magnet reflecting its movements, and instantly tbe idea of the mirror suggested Itself. So a monocle bas bad a direct effect on science.
