The May Roberts company was last
ight greyed with a larger audience
than was seen at either of the prev
ious performance when they present
ed the problem play, "Paid in Pull."
Miss Roberts showed herself to be
a most versatile actress by carrying
out an emotional role with a kind of
magnetism that seemed to draw her
audience to her as she did in her com
edy roles of the other performances.
Mr. Gillard, as the Captain, was an
admirable piece of acting. Geo. Zucco
.is the husband interpreted his part
with an ease and naturalness that
shows him to be an accomplished actoi^
Prances Williamson, as the mother
had the stage presence of one only
who has had years of experience be
fore an audience. Miss St. John is
also deserving of mention, as she. por
trayed the listless society belle equal
ly as well as she did the. soubrette of
the night before. Mr. Williamson co?
veyed the idea to the audience that
cood things are often done up in
small packages. Mr. Carey, althoug
he had a small part, "played It."
The company left for Whitehorse
on this morning's train, and after mak
ing the trip down the river] will return
to Skagway in about six weeks.

BALANCING THE SEXES.
Singular, Isn't It, the Way Nature
Preserves the Equilibrium?
One of the most subtle and interest
ing problems of life, according to the
eminent statistician and student of
heredity, Professor R .1. Kwart, Is the
numerical relationship of sax and Its
Influence upon the body politic. The
woman's rights movement Is In essencc
a mathematical nnd st-tttsticnl problem,
according to him There Is not a gen
ernl advance of woman. as some soclol
oglsts assert. There Is a sudden manl
festation of her power, n period of au
premacy and then a decline of her
status.
The explanation Is <tnt mainly.
True. It has always Ihimi something of
a puzrle why the proportion of each
kind, apparently with little or no an
derlylng reason. Is produced In the
right numbers. The argument that If
such were not the case the particular
species would not survive does not re
Teal to us the methods by wbb-h th's
object has been achieved. That some
mechanism must exist by means of
which within certain limits the number
of males and females bom Is regulated
is proved by the facts of history,
where we have numerous examples of
wars and other social upheavals where
males have largely suffered, and yet
within an apparently short period of
time, as measured by such events, a
balance has again been established.
The sex equilibrium may be com
pared to that of a gyroscope, where the
greater the disturbance of position
the greater Is the force tending to re
establish Its natnral stand while In
motion.? Current Literature.
She Had Noticed.
He was talking to the pessimistic,
hharp tongued damsel.
"Have you noticed," he asked, "that,
as a rule, bachelors are wealthier than
married men 7"
"I have," she replied.
"How do you account for It?" he in
quired.
"The poor man marries and the rich
one doesn't," she answered "A man
is much more disposed to divide noth
ing with a woman than he Is to divide
something, you know."

a difficult matter it to
There wis once a kingdom not as
big aa Monaco, and that ia small ]
enough In all conscience. Little Sonne- ;
shon was but Ave miles in clrmmfer- !
ence. Yet It was a perfect kingdom, j
for King Stiandlgrab vns a real royal j
personage. Are feef high. Ore feet j
around the girth and wore a crown i
that weighed pretty nearly as much j
as himself. lie had a cabinet, masters
of the robos and hounds and courtiers
galore. There were R,?W commoners,
with a number of hordes, mules, cats
and otheT animals The general of tbe
army of forty men /mostly effectirM
was a terrible fellow, with fierce mus
tachlos as pointed ss his sword.
But the army and the general were
both for show, for the kingdom was
under the protect iou of lu neighbor,
tbe emperor of ?ollibag. who had been
paying It a stated sum ever since tbe
principal part of the territory had been !
lopped off many centuries before for !
the benefit of the empire. Besides,
the little Sonneshona were the most
peaceful people in the world. So ten
der hearted were they that once when !
a musqulto flew over there from what
Is now New Jersey they refrained from !
killing It, so that it planted all tbe !
pools with musqultoes.
Nevertheless there was once a mur
der committed in the kingdom by a
man named Hans Gotterman. But
that was an exceptional case, for be
killed his wife, who was a nagger.
Perhaps for this extraordinary incite
ment to murder he might hare gone
scot free bad be not been lary and
generally worthless. So he was con
victed and sentenced to hare hla bead
chopped off.
But here arose a difficulty. There
was ? royal executioner. but, llk? the
general of the army. he was for show.
He wore tights, a mask and all that,
constantly carrying an at on hlfl
shoulder But the ax was wooden and
Its bean"- so tender hearted that when
be had fried chicken for breakfast his
wife was obliged to cut off Its bead.
At a meeting of the cabinet the
matter of Flans Oottermnn was dis
cussed. and It was agreed that the
royal executioner wouldn't do for the
job at all. So It waa decided to send
a request to the emperor of Holllbag
for the loan of his beadsman. Unfor
tunately there had been a revolution
tu the empire, and the royal execu
tioner was so busy cutting off the
heads of rebels that he could not be
spared
At another meeting of the cabinet it
was decided to offer a hundred pieces
of gold to whomsoever would execute
the murderer. The offer was posted
everywhere throughout the kingdom,
and the king and his cabinet waited
for some one to step forward, accept
It and put an end to Ootterman. But
no one was willing to kill a man at
the price, and as no other expedient
was suggested Ootterman still lived.
One day a mosquito bit him and Im
pregnated him with bacteria that
caused a terrible fever. The court
waited expectantly, thinking the man
would die. but be disappointed them
by getting well, and since It co?t con
siderable to keep him the cabinet de
cided to let him out on his promise to
return when an executioner could be
found to behead him. He rather ob- ,
jected to this, but his keeper stopped I
his food and thus forced compliance.
Every few days be would protend he
had heard that an execntloner had ar- j
rived and go back to the Jal), demand- -
Ing food ad Interim. Thus be got to
bo an Insufferable bore. No one could
be found to kill him. he wouldn't die.
One day It was reported to the king
that fifty coal miners had been buried
In a mine. These weir* eltlr.ens the
state could not afford to lose. The
cabinet ordered a hundred men col- .
lected at great expense to dig the mln
ers out. They dug a month, when one
day, hearing a voice, they made their
way with pick and shovel toward the
sound. After several days' hard work
they broke Into a compartment and
there found Ootterman.
He said he had gone Into the mine
for work, but when asked how he had
lived so long without food pointed to
fifty empty dinner pelts. He had gone
Into the place where the entombed men
had placed their dinners. None of th?
laborers was ever got oat alive. Oot
terman alone survived the catastrophe.
The king was much incensed when
he heard the story of Ootterman's res
cue and renewed hie efforts among the
neighboring states for the loan of an
executioner, but without success. Then
came a written offer from the murder
er to cut his own head off for the prom
tsed reward. The cabinet could not ae
rept It. because there was a law of |
the kingdom agnlnst suicide.
One day when the cabinet was In
council a member presented an offer
from a woman who was known to be
a frightful shrew to marry Ootter
man If she were paid as a dowry the
hundred pieces of gold for his execu
tion. The cabinet decided to accept
the offer. As soon as Ootterman heard
that be must marry the shrew all hi?
courage left him. He had got rid of
one nagger and dreaded to be tied up
with another. A law was passed com
pelling him to marry the wt>man, and
she talked him to death within a
month.
