are in constant convulsions of laughter. In fact it is safe to say that the parity than over the great Pauline. The other six big Keith hits are ea eh so splendid of their kind that it is difficult to say just which would be the second to Pauline. Mattie Rooney and Clayton Kennedy in a breezy sketch called "The Happy Medium" are among the big favorites with their eccentric comedy, pretty dance steps and clever songs; and no less can be said of Estelfe Wordette Co. in "A Honeymoon in the Cats kills." It is an artistic offering and high praise is due Miss Wordette and company.

Ila Grannon, the petite singer and comedienne, was given a great welcome, and with new songs Miss Grannon was again the favorite. This young woman reaches her audiences by a heart to heart talk to them through catchy songs, and displays a strong personality. The Ollivotti Troubadors are musicians who present a high class act. It is one of the best musical acts of its kind in the world on the vaudeville stage.

Boranl and Xevaro present a sensational acrobatic sketch that is quite original and entertaining. Chalk Saunders uses crayons in an interesting manner and the pictures are, as usual, a big hit. The show is a good one. Wherein They Differed. Dr.

Emily Blackwell, one of the pioneers of her sex in medicine, heard a young physician deliver a "fierce diatribe against opening the doors of the profession to women. When he ceased, she asked: "Will you please tell me one reason why they should not practice medicine?" "Certainly, madam. They haven't the muscle, the brawn, the physical strength." "I see, sir. Tonr conception of a elekroom Is a slaughter house. Mine Is not" An Unsavory Charity.

In all the cafes and beer halls of Germany a large canister is placed on a table in the center of each establishment. Every time one of the guests lights a fresh cigar he gets up and deposits in the canister the end of the one he has just been smoking. This receptacle is a sort of alms box with a funnel jhaped lid, secured by means vf a padlock. A charitable association supplies all places of public resort with these boxes for the purpose of collecting odds arid ends of tobacco, cigarettes and cigar The produce of the sale is devoted to the purchase of clothing, which is distributed among poor children at Christmas. The charity Is believed to be the most malodorous and insanitary on record.

IG HORN', more commonly known as mountain sheep, are extremely wary and cautions animals, and are plentiful in but few places. This is rather surprising, for they seem to be fairly prolific (although not as much so as deer and antelope), and comparatively few are killed iby the hunters. In size the big horn comes next to buffalo and elk, averaging larger than the black tail deer, while an old ram will sometimes be almost as heavy as a small cow elk. In his movements he Is not light and graceful like the prong born and other antelopes, his marvellous agility seeming rather to proceed from sturdy strength and wonderful command over iron sinews and muscles. The huge horns are carried proudly erect by the massive npcir.

every motion of the body is made with perfect poise; and there seems to be no ground so difficult that the big horn cannot cross it. There is probably no animal in the world his superior in climbing; and his only equals are the other species of mountain sheep and the ibexes. No matter how sheer the cliff. If there are ever so tiny cracks or breaks in the surface, the big horn will bound up or down it with wonderful ease and seeming absence of effort. The perpendicular bounds it can make are truly startling in strong contrast with its distant relative the prong horn which can leap almost any level Jump, but seems unable to clear the smallest height In descending sheer wall of rock the big horn holds all four feet together and goes down Id long Jumps, bounding off the surface almost like a rubber ball every time he strikes it The way that one will vanish over the roughest and most broken ground is a perpetual surprise to any one that has bunted them: and the ewes are quite as skilful ns the rams, while even the very young lambs seem almost as well able to climb, and certainly follow wherever their elders lead.

To him the barren wastes of the Bad Lands offer a most attractive home: yet to other living creatures they are at all times as grimly desolate and for bidding as any spot on earth can be; at all seasons they seem hostile to very form of life. Occasionally the big horn come down Into the valleys or along the grassy slopes to feed, but this is not often, and In such cases every member of the band is always keeping the sharpest laok out and at the slightest alarm they beat a retreat to their broken fastnesses. At night time or In the early morning they come down to drink at the small pools or springs, but move off the instant they have satisfied their thirst As a rule, they spend their time among the rocks and rough ground, and it is in these places that they must be hunted. In color they harmonize curiously with the grayish or yellowish brown of the ground on which they are found, and It is often very difficult to make them out when lying motionless ou a ledge of rock Up the slippery ice covcrcd butUt tre clambered. Time and again they will be mistaken for boulders, and.

on the other hand, I have more than once stalked up to masses of sandstone that I have mistaken for sheep. When lying down the big horn can thus scan everything below it; and bth while feeding and resting it Invariably teeps the sharpest possible look ut for all danger from beneath, and this trait makes it needful for the hunter to always keep on the highest ground end try to come oa it from above. As far as lay In us, on our first day's hunt we paid proper heed to all the rul of hunting craft; but without success. Up the slippery, Ice covered buttes we clambered, clinging to the rocks, and slowly working our way across the faces of the cliffs, or cautiously creeping along the narrow Jedges, peering over every crest long and carefully, and from the peaks scanning the ground all about with the field glasses. But we saw no sheep, and but little sign of them.

Finally we struck the head of a long, winding valley with a smooth bottom, after cantering down it four or 53 HUNTING THE Mountain Sheep BY THEODORE ROOSEVELT five miles, came to the river, just after the cold, pale red sun had sunk behind the line of hills ahead of us. Our horses were sharp shod, and crossed the ice without difficulty; and in a grove of leafless cotton woods, on the opposite side, we found the hut tor which we had been making, the cow boy already inside with the fire started. Throughout the night the temperature sank lower and lower, i and it was impossible to keep the I crazy old hut anywhere near freezing point; the wind whistled through the chinks and crannies of the logs, and. after a short and by no means elab orate supper, we were glad to cower down with our great fur coats still on, under the pile of buffalo robes and bear skins. My sleepiug bag came in i very handily, and kept me as warm as possible, in spite of the bitter frost.

We were up and had taken breakfast as I expected, we found him lying on next morning by the time the firt his side a couple of hundred yards be streak of dawn had dimmed the bril yond the ridge, his eyes already glazed liancy of the stars, and immediately in death.

This day, though the little forward; no animal less tough weather had grown even colder, we did than a mountain ram could have gone not feel It, for we walked all the while any distance at all with such a wound, with a quick pace, and the climbing He had most obligingly run rouDd to was very hard work.

Accordingly I brought was no easy eask to move up and up old Manitou, who can carry any along them. clutchingthe gun in ono thing and has no fear, and the big hand, and grasping each little projec horn was soon strapped across his tion with the other. back. It was a fine ram, with perfect When on the way back to camp, where ly shnped but not very large horns, the buttes rose highest and steepest.

The other ram, two years old, with we came upon fresh tracks, but as it small horns, had bounded over the was then late in the afternoon, did not ridge before I could get a shot at him; try to follow them that day. When i we followed his trail for half a mile, near the hut I killed a sharptail for but as he showed no Fisns of halting supper, making rather a neat shot, the bird being eighty yards off. The night v.as even colder than the preceding one, and all signs told us that we would soon have a change for th worse In the weather, which made me doubly anxious to get a sheep before the storm struck us. We determined that next morning we would take the horses and a quick push for the chain of high buttes where we had seen the fresh tracks, and hunt them through with thorough care. We started in the cold gray of the morning and pricked rapidly off over the frozen plain, columns of white steam rising from the nostrils of the galloping horses.

When we reached the foot of the hills where we intended to hunt, and had tethered the horses, the sun had already risen, but it was evident that the clear weather of a fortnight rast was over. The air was thick and hazy, and away off in the northwest a towering mass of grayish white clouds looked like a weather breeder; every thing boded a storm at no distant date. The country over which we now hunted was wilder and more mountainous than any we had yet struck. High, sharp peaks and ridges broke off abruptly into narrow gorges and deep ravines; they were bare of all but the scantiest vegetation, save on some of the sheltered sides where grew groves of dark pines, now laden down with feathery snow. The climb ing was as hard as ever.

At first we went straight up the side of the tallest peak, and then along the knife like ridge which joined it with the next. The ice made the footing very slippery as we stepped along the ledges or ri0u8 tflsk and the veIT bitter weather crawled round the jutting shoulders, during which we had been out had not and we had to look carefully for our I lessened the difficulty of the work, footholds: while in the cold, thin air i though in tlje cold it was much less ex every ouick burst we made tin a steen nausting than it would have been to hill caused us to pant for breath. We had gone but a little way before we saw fresh signs of the animals we were after, but it was some time before we came upon the quarry itself. We left the high ground and descending into a narrow chasm walked along its bottom, which was but a couple of feet wide, while the sides rose up from it at an acute angle. After following this for a few hundred yards, we turned a sharp corner, and shortly afterward our eyes ere caught by some grains of fresh earth lying on the snow in front of our feet.

On the sides, some feet above our heads, were marks in the snow which a moment's glance showed us had been made by a couple of mountain sheep that had come down one side of the gorge and had leaped across to the other, their sharp toes going through the thin snow and displacing the earth that had fallen to the bottom. The tracks had e.idently been made just before we rounded the corner, and as we had been advancing noiselesly on the snow with the wind in our favor, we knew that the animals could have no suspicion of our presence. They had gone up the cliff on our right, but as that on our left was much lower, and for same distance parallel Uie other, we concluded that by run 'aing along its tp we would be most certain to get a good shot Clambering instantly up the steep side, digging my hands and feet into the loose snow, and grasping at every little rock or frozen projection, I reached the top; and then ran forward along the ridge a few paces, crouching behind the masses of queerly shaped sandstone; and saw, about ninety yards off across the ravine, a couple of mountain rams Theonewlth the largest horns was broadside toward me. his sturdy, mass ive form outlined clearly against tut sky, as he stood on the crest of the ridge. I dropped on my knee, raising the rifle as I did so; for a second did not quite make me out turning bh head half round to look.

I held the Sight fairly on the point Just behind his houlder and pulled the trigger. At the report he Btagge'red and pitched forward, but recovered himself and crossed over the ridge out of sight We jumped and slid down into the ra nliunrA ak jeu1 I posite side as fast as our lungs ana slippery ke would let us; then taking I the trail of the wounded ram we trot i ted along. We had not far to go; for. and we were anxious to get home we then gave up the pursuit. It was still early in the day, and we made up our minds to push back for the home ranch, as we did not wish to be caught out in a long storm.

The lowering sky was already overcast by a mass of leaden gray clouds; and it was evident that we had no time to lose. In a little over an hour we were back at the log camp, where the ram was shifted from Manitou's back to the buckboard. A very few minutes sufficed to pack up our bedding and provisions, and we started home. Mer rifield and I rode on ahead, not spar lAg the horses; but before we got home the storm had burst, and a furious blizzard blew In our teeth as we galloped along the last mile of the river bottom, before coming to the home ranch house; and as we warmed our stiffened limbs before the log fire. I congratulated myself upon the successful outcome of what I knew would be the last hunting trip I should take during that season.

The death of this ram was accom plished without calling for any very good shooting on our part. He was standing still, less than a hundred yards off, when the shot was fired: and we came across him so close merely by accident. Still, we fairly deserved our luck, for we had hunted with the most patient and painstaking care from dawn till nightfall for the better part of three days, spending most of the time in climbing at a smart rate of BPeea UP Bneer Cllns ana ovel rouBu and slippery ground. Still hunting the big horn is always n. toilsome and labo have hunted across the same ground in summer.

No other kind of hunting does as much to bring out the good qualities, both mornl and physical, of the sportsmen who follow it. If a mau keeps at it, it is bound to make him both hardy and resolute: to strengthen his muscles and fill out his lungs. Mountain mutton is in the fall the most delicious eating furnished by any game animal. Nothing else compares with it for Juiciness, tenderness, and flavor; but at all other times of the ear it is tough, stringy, and worthless.
