A Sleighing Party.
Thursday evening a sleighing
party, the destination of which was
Wagner Springs, started from the
Columbia Hotel at 5:30, In a huge
bobsled drawn by four horses, with
the usual accompaniments of horns
and whistles. It is said the accus
tomed serenity of the Rogue river
valley was much disturbed along the
route.
The party arrived at its destina
tion at 7:30, and it is needless to say
it did justice to the turkey dinner
made ready by Mr. and Mrs. Bart
let. At either end of the table was
a turkey, over which Mr. Briggs and
Mr. Foster presided, displaying their
skill at carving. After dinner the
evening was spent in music and
dancing.
The most thrilling event of the
evening was a panther, evidently at
tracted by the unusual sounds, fol
lowing the sleigh for some distance.
Its deportment we a so gentle that it
was decided to leave it unmolested,
and it at last disappeared in the
trees.
The one regret is that Fred
rick Remington or one of like gen
ius could not have been along to
have put on canvas some of the
beauty of these mountains robed in
white.
Those in the party were: Mr. and
Mrs. Monte Briggs, Mr. and Mrs.
Foster, Mrs. Moulden. the Misses
Winnie Hadley, Vivian Greer, Mamie
Barnes, Eleanor Greer, Myra Homes
and Margaret Tomlin; Messrs. Rout
ledge, Caldwell, Ussher, Eugene
Moody and Lynn Mowat.
In
Lion and Mouse.
a Berlin zoo a mouse was nut
in the cage of a lion to test whether
as the old story asserts, there was a
natural affection between them. The
experience was rather astonishing.
The lion saw the mouse before he
was fairly through the bars and was
after him instantly. Away went the
little fellow, squeaking in fright.
When he had gone a few yards the
lion headed him off, and this was re
peated until the mouse stood still.
The lion then stood over him,
studying his with interest, and pres
ently he brought his paw down on
the mouse, but so gently that it was
not injured in the least. Then the
liou played with the mouse, now let
ting him run a few inches, and then
stopping him again.
Suddenly the mouse changed his
tactics, and. instead of running when
the lion lifted its paw, sprang
straight at the big animal's head.
The lion, terrified, gave a great
leap backward and roared in extreme
fright, while the little mouse made
his escape. Of th'J two. the lion was
the more frightened. New York

The Victor Donald Co. in Good Com
edy and Dramatic Playlets at
Dreamland Tlieati-c.
It has been some time since the
theatre-going people of Ashland have
had an opportunit" of seeing a real
ly meritorious company in legitimate
comedy and drama. Beginning Wed
nesday night, January 15, and con
tinuing four nights, the Victor Don
ald Company will present a change
of bill each night. Wednesday night,
"The Man in Black," a screamingly
funny farce; Thursday, "The Sher
iff," a thrilling western playlet; Fri
day, "My Uncle From New York,"
excepitonally funny; and Saturday,
one of the strongest playlets ever
written, "The Eleventh Hour."
The following is from the Albany
Democrat:
"Victor Donald Company at the Rex.
'"Victor Donald and company more
than made good with the patrons of
the Rex Theatre Christmas day,
when they opened their engagement
with 'The Eleventh Hour.' It was
truly as advertised, 'one of the
strongest playlets ever written.'; The
company was excellent, the stage set
tings and costumes beautiful. What
more need be said?
"Commencing Friday matinee this
company will be seen in a screaming
ly funny comedy entitled 'The Man
in Black, a playlet 50 minutes In
length, taken from the three-act play
of that title. Mr. Donald has starred
in this play for several seasons, and
in the role of Abraham Muffin keeps
the house in one long roar of laugh
ter. Miss Mae Simmons, the talent
ed leading woman of "the company;
Louise Koch, ffertrand Poal and
Master Donald alto contribute their
share of the comedy.
"If you wish to laugh, and laugh
heartily, don't fail to witness a per
formance of 'The Man in Black.'
"The Victor Donald Company is
strictly a guaranteed attraction.
"Extract from the Morning Astor
ian, Astoria, Ore.:
" 'The Victor Donald Company last
night made good in every respect. It
is indeed refreshing in these days of
so many snide traveling shows to
find one that is up to the standard
and really entertains the public. The
Donald company is one that really
entertains and gives you more than
your money's worth of enjoyment.
The company is composed of five
people, all artists in their lines.' "
Popular priees for this engage
ment, 10 and 20 cents, which will
include the usual program of excel
lent new pictures.
Tuesday and Wednesday nights
Dreamland presents a big two-reel
feature, "Happy, the Four-Footed
Hero," an equine wonder. Don't
miss this great picture.

Advertising a drug store is Tike
advertising any other store or busi
ness. A drug store has a certain service
to sell. Most every man, woman and
child has patronized or is patronizing
a drug store. Therefore drug stores
are recognized as being a necessity,
and where there is more than one
drug store in a town it is up to the
people to decide which store they
will trade. .

The. druggist has a big opportun
ity to increase his business through
advertising. But he must tell more
about his business than general
statements.
Every drug store has a personality
through the services it renders.
Tell the people about your pre
scription methods; about the quality
of your drugs; the skill of your dis
penser. Tell people about your other
goods; get right down to cases and
describe the goods in a way that
people will want to see them. When
you are enthusiastic over, a certain
thing and describe It to a friend,
don't you give the little personal de
tails, thereby bringing out the point?
That is what you should do In your
advertising.
Get enthusiastic over your goods
and shoot some of the enthusiasm
into your copy.
Next talk will be on jewelry ad- j AifCd Ells TCPpiePS
