Tho six lads constituting the dun covered themselves with glory a" usual, tffirding the audience unlimited mirth by their cVver personations, monologues and plays. Donald Davison, whose clever recita tion and personations have won him a permanent place in the hearts of the public, appeared in a new role, inter preting the character of Miss Mary McGuire in ''Hypnotism, " in a lively manner. Albert Schindler's dialect work has always brought him hearty applaus but his latest work in the impersona tion of Silly Sammy whose lost teeth add a lisp to his perpetual giggle, and who is . a little tongue-tied, simply brought down the house. His work in Dr. Yon Yonson a Swedish Veterinary, was irresistibly comical Fairfield Schindlcr added consider ably to his laurels as an impersonator of women, and aroused the envy of all the girls in the audience by his grace ful tainting. He has the gift of keep ing his audience guessing. Rex Howard as the nervous suitor in ''Dent's Office Boy," aroused gales of laughter, and his troubles in the character of "Mr. Spotts" in the "Hypnotism" wero many and effec tive. This young man's clever char acter work has caused much favorable comment. David Howard's monologues were well delivered and much enjoyed. His playing of "Pat" who was hpynotized into a rooster convulsed his audience. Ted Howard as the '"Jimmy, the Office &3f," proved a very effectual troublemaker, giving a clever bur lesque of a precocious youngster's Sdet poppa ,,sauuuiog,, sih -JipaSw JO much to the merriment of "hypnotism.'

To Make Men More Busy and Some Boys Less So Object of Ordinances At the tonight session of the city council bjesidjes Hhe, introduction of the ordinance by Alderman Ward mak ing it unlawful 'for any man to have too much leisure -time- on "his hands, another ordinance will be introduced to curb the boy who finds it convenient to raise Money by selling merchandise to the junk man. The ordinance will provide that the junk .men shall purchase no merchan dise from boys under the age of 21 years, unless the youth is accompanied by one of his parents while making the sale, or has the consent of one of his parents in writing. The plain fact, as viewed by some of the aldermen, lis that the small boy will occasionally steal not only troin others but from his home and carry his goods to the junk man. While the junk man has been, obliged to keep a record of these sales, yet there was no questions asked as to where the boy got tho goods. A recent case in which a boy stole the dishes from his mother's table, and then sold them for junk, suggested to the aldermen "that a more stringent law was necessary. Hence tho ordinance to bo introduced tonight. High Prices Brings Horse Meat Into Use Portland, Or., April 15.
