BOOTH FINDS A GENIUS.
Audience Convulsed Over a Reply Inter
polated In “Richard lll.’*
As a delineator of the traditional
Yankee character Mathias Currier
Kimball, more widely known as
Yankee Glunn, long stood without a
rival. Kimball has now practically
retired from the stage, and at a ripe
age has settled down to a prosaic
life in the little village of Kingman,
Me.
Away back in the early forties,
when he was a mere lad, a little in
cident with Junius Brutus Booth,
the elder started him in his career.
Kimball was only 1? years old at
the time and was at work as an ush
er in the Lowell museum. Booth
who was then in the zenith of his
power and fame, was billed there for
three nights. The play was “Rich
ard III.” Kimball had horoughly
studied the play and was considered
a young man of promising dramatic
ability. On the opening night the
actor who took the part of Lord Nor
folk failed to show up. Booth was
in despair. At last some one sug
gested that young Kimball knew
the lines of that part, and he was
cast f : it by Booth.
Os the event the old showman
says: “When I went on the stage, I
was badly rattled. Booth was im
perious and stern, which only com
plicated matters. However, I got,
along all right until we came to the
buttle of Bosworth Field. In my
hurry I bad taken the wrong place
on the stage, when Booth hissed out
in a whisper, ‘Get into your place;’
then wheeling around he pro
nounced these lines in thrilling I
tones, ‘What thinkest thou now, no-'
ble Norfolk?’ ‘That we shall con-(
quer, my lord,’ was my reply, ‘but
on my tent this morning early was
this paper found.’ Booth was mark
ing out the plan of battle on the
sand. When I had finished the lines,
he drew* his sword and with terrific
force struck the paper from my
hands, saying, ‘A weak invention of
the enemy I’
“I was thoroughly frightened at
his fearful expression and dodged
back, nearly falling to the floor.
Booth then repeated the lines:
“ ‘What thinkest thou, Norfolk,
if the pardon was offered?’
“By this time I was completely
rattled and forgot my lines. Booth
stood glaring at me like a tiger. The
audience were holding their breath
for the next turn of affairs. Sudden
ly I realized that something must be
done. My nerve returned, and I
think it must have been the devil
that prompted me to balance myself
on one foot and drawl out with Yan
kee twang:
“ ‘Well, I don't know, Mr. Booth.
It may work!”
“Instantly the whole house was in
an uproar. As shout after shout of
laughter went up the black cloud ou
Booth’s brow relaxed and wheeling
on his heel he left the stage, shak
ing his sides with merriment. After
the play was over he came to me,
and placing his hand on my shoul
der, said in fatherly tones, ‘Young
man, you never played tragedy be
fore, did you?’ Without waiting for
a reply he continued: ‘Take my ad
vice and never attempt it again. You
are a natural comedian. Take a
Yankee character and become iden- j
tified with it and fame and fortune j
will be yours,’and I followed his
advice.”—Lewiston Journal.
Granulated Cork.
It is only a few years since the
manufacturers of cork stoppers and
life preservers threw away their
chips. Now every particle of the
refuse is carefully saved and util
ized, first having been pulverized by
special machinery. In fact, owing
to the constantly increasing number
of uses to which this stuff can be
put, the price of vvnat was once a
waste product is steadily rising.
, One of the ingredients of linoleum
is cork. The latter is also employed
i extensively in filling the hollow
> walls of refrigerators. The manu
l facture of a light, porous bicycle
handle opens still another field of
' usefulness, and it is now proposed
to mix pulverized cork with plaster
of paris in moldings, in order tc
1 render the latter cheaper and light
er. The article is placed on the mar
ket in about half a dozen different
degrees of fineness, ranging from a
flourlike powder up to grains as
large as split peas. The price varies
from 3 to 8 cents a pound and de
pends on the fineness of the product.

A POCKET FULL OF CHINK.
I I yearn to be a poet, and I’m trying mighty
hard
I To be a top notch dreamer and a real sky
scraping bard.
I sneer at wealth and worldly things and call
them empty trash,
And say, “The gods forbid that I should ever
i write for cash!”
I’m doing everything I can to tune my classic
ear
So that the muses' whispers shall be all the
I sounds I hear,
And yet there come those moments when
earth’s sweetest song, I think,
Is the bewitching jingle of a pocket full of
j _ chink.
Os course I find it pleasant just to soar around
and round
The brow of fair Olympus where poetic themes
abound.
But, oh, to budding poets it would prove a
precious boon
If old Olymp would open up a good free lunch
! saloon,
For while I feel that poetry is splendid in its
way,
I find I’m really more in need of three square
meals a day.
I’d trade a thousand muses for my fill of meat
aud drink—
I 1 long to hear the jingle of a pocket full of
chink.
I An inspiration’s mighty fine to stir the poet’s
breast,
But good corned beef is better far for rounding
out the vest.
And while I yearn to let my thoughts in grace
ful couplets troop
Such things are disappointing when a fellow
longs for soup.
I’d like to be the second cook in some real good
hotel,
And my poetic license I will very gladly sell
For two good dollars, round and hard—l long
to hear them clink
1 And listen to the music of a pocket full of
chink.
—Nixon Waterman in L. A. W. Bulletin.
The Du Maurier Girl.
Sam Weller, if you recollect, was
i fond of “pootiness and wirtue. ” I
so agree with him. I adore them
both, especially in women and chil
dren. I only wish that the “wir
tue” was as easy to draw as the
“pootiness.”
But indeed for me—speaking as
an artist and also perhaps a little bit
as a man—“pootiness” is almost a
“wirtue” in itself. I don’t think I
shall ever weary of trying to depict
it, from its dawn in the toddling in
fant to its decline and setting and
long twilight in the beautiful old
woman who has known how to
grow old gradually. I like to sur
round it with chivalrous and stal
wart manhood, and it is a standing
grievance to me that I have to clothe
all this masculine escort in coats
and trousers and chimney pot hats;
worse than all, in the evening dress
of the period—that I cannot sur
round my divinity with a guard of
honor more worthily arrayed.
Thus of all my little piebald pup
pets the one I value the most is my
pretty woman. lam as fond of her
i as Leech was of his, of whom, by
' the way, she is the granddaughter,
j This is not artistic vanity; it is pure
j paternal affection and by no means
prevents me from seeing her faults.
It only prevents me from seeing
them as clearly as you do.
Will my pretty woman ever be all
I wish her to be, all she ought to
be? I fear not.—George Du Maurier

• An exchange says: “When a
1 woman tells her oldest daughter to
rnind the baby and the oldest daugh
ter goes off and leaves the work to a
younger sister, who tells a younger
brother he must do it, who finally
goes off and leaves the baby with the
dog, who is to blame that the baby
isn’t cared for ?”
Several able contemporaries have
tackled this question with the result
that so far the concensus of opinion
puts the blame on the dog.
Hon. Hoke Smith has a namesake
in Bucks county, Pa., who is running
for office. He is going to make his
canvass on wheels, and for this pur
pose he has had a bicycle built with
accommodations for clothing, cam
paign cigars, rattles for the babies
and other instruments for the mold
ing of public opinion. He will visit
twenty six districts before convention
day, and hopes to capture a majority
of the delegates.
It is estimated that the three
States of North Dakota, South Da-

which will bring them not less than
$180,000,000. This would be a per

Human Hair.
It is a carious fact that red-haired
people are far less apt to become
bald than those whose hirsute cover
ing is of another hue. The average
crop on the head of the red-haired
person is said to be only about 30,000
hairs. Ordinary dark hair is far finer,
and over three dark hairs take up
the space of one red one; 105,000
are about the average. But fair
haired people are still better off;
140,000 to 100,000 are quite a com
mon number of hairs on the scalp of
a fair-haired man or woman. A
curious calculation has been made,
to the effect that the hairs on the
head of a fair-haired person, if they
could be plaited together, would sus
tain a weight of something like
eighty tons, equaling that of five
hundred people.—Medical Record.
It is well said that “The United
States is the larder of the world,”
and the nations of Europe have a
very keen appreciation of this fact.
Our food power is sufficient to cause
Great Britain, Russia and Japan,
which are now facing the possibility
of a conflict on the other side, to
maintain friendly relations with us.
If these powers set their armies and
nations in motion, their fighting men
must be fed and the United States
must feed them. They realize that
they must depend upon this country
for their food supply and this fact is
a sufficient guarantee of a desire on
their part to remain friendly with the
United States.
A CRITICAL TIME
DURING THE BATTLE OF SAN
TIAGO.
i
Sick or Well, a Rush Night and Day.
The Packers at the Battle of Manliaffo
de Cuba Were all Heroes. Their He
roic Efforts in Getting Ammunition
and Rations to the Front Saved the
Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack train No. 3,
writing from Santiago, De Cuba, on July
23, says: “We all had diarrhea in more or
less violent form, and when we landed
we had no time to see a doctor, foi it
was a case of rush and rush night and
day to keep the troops supplied with
ammunition and rations, but thanks to
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhea Remedy, we were able to keep at
work and keep our health; in fact, I sin
cerely believe that at one critical time
this medicine was the indirect savior of
our army, for if the packers had been un
able to work there would have been no
way of getting supplies to the front.
There were no roads that a wagon train
could use. My comrade and myself had
the good fortune to lay in a supply of
this medicine for our pack train before
we left Tampa, and I know in four cases
it absolutely saved life.”

manufacturers of this medicine, the

It seems almost a pity that Gen.
Joe Wheeler’s universal popularity
must be somewhat detracted from
shortly. As soon as he gets back
into Congress some persons and pa
pers will begin to throw bricks at
him because of his political opinions.
Why would it not be a good idea to
revive the grade of lieutenant gen
eral in the army and give it to Joe
Wheeler ? That would shut off the
wire pulling of military cliques and
the army would have a military ge
nius at its bead.
What to do with the Philippines
is frequently asked in a helpless sort
of manner. General Patrick A. Col
lins, of Boston, has no difficulty in
answering it. “If the Philippines
are not fit for self-government,” he
says, “we do not want them ; if they
are, let them set up for themselves.”
The Georgia railroad commission

NERVOUS WOMEN.
The Opinion of a Famous Medical
Writer as to the Cause.
In a recent lecture on diseases of
women, Dr. Hartman said : “A ner
vous woman is always a sick woman.
Some drain on her system is the
cause of it. If the mucous mem
branes are healthy, the woman is
usually healthy. Each one of the
numerous and delicate organs of the
human body is lined with mucous
membrane. The slightest catarrhal
congestion of any of these membranes
gives rise to weakening dischargee,
which leads to nervousness, and final
ly prostration. Pe-ru-na is the only
remedy that I have ever found to be
of lasting use in these cases. Thou
sands of women are languishing’ with
the very common ailment known as
female weakness, which in almost
every instance is caused by catarrh
of the pelvic organs. Pe-ru-na will
cure these cases promptly and
permanently.” Mrs. Lucy Lee,
Naples, Texas, writes: “I am en
joying better health than I ever did
in my life. I can’t praise Pe-ru-na
enough ; it is the greatest medicine
there is in the world.”

especially for women, “Health and
Beauty,” will be sent free to any ad

Don’t Snub the Boys.
Don’t snub a boy because he wears
shabby clothes. When Edison, the
inventor, first entered Boston, he
wore a pair of yellow linen breeches
in the dead of winter.
Don’t snub a boy because of the
ignorance of his parents. Shakes
peare, the w’orld’s poet, was the son
of a man who was unable to write
his own name.
Don’t snub a boy because his home
is plain and unpretending. Abra
ham Lincoln’s early home was a log
cabin.
Don’t snub a boy because he choos
es an humble trade. The author of
the “Pilgrim’s Progress” was a
tinker.
Don’t snub a boy because of dull
ness in his lessons. Hogarth, the
celebrated painter and engraver, was
a stupid boy at his books.
Don’t snub a boy because he stut
ters. Demosthenes, the great ora
tor of Greece, overcame a harsh and
stuttering voice.
Don’t snub him for any reason—
not only because he may some day
outstrip you in the race of life, but
because it is neither right nor Chris
tian.

Crippled by
Rheumatism.
Those who have Rheumatism find
themselves growing steadily worse all
the while. One reason of this is that
the remedies prescribed by the doctors
oontain mercury and potash, which ul
timately intensify the disease by caus
ing the joints to swell and stiffen,
producing a severe aching of the bones.
B. 8. 8. has been curing Rheumatism
for twenty years—even the worst cases
which seemed almost incurable.
Qagt. O. B. Hughes, the popular railroad
•onductor, of Columbia, 8. C., had an expert
•noe with Rheumatism which convinced him
th a t there is only one
cure for that painful dis
ease. He says: “I was a Vi
great suflorer from mu»- / ua
cular Rheumatism for Ba
two years. I could get rl
no permanent relief w* wa
from any medicine pre- I« x Q
scribed by my physician. 7
I took about a dozen bo t- |W3K9b f

now I am aS well as I
ever was Inmy life. lam
■Ure that your medicine
ettrod me, and I would
reoommend It to any one z
■offering from any blood disease."
Everybody knows that Rheumatism
is a diseased state of the blood, and
only a blood remedy is the only proper
treatment, but a remedy containing
potash and mercury only aggravate!
the trouble.
S.S.S.w Blood
being Purely Vegetable, goes direct to
the very cause of the disease and a per
manent cipe always results. It is the
only blood remedy guaranteed to con
tain no potash, mercury or other dan
gerous minerals.

An Afflicted Mother
BOTH OF HER BOYS KILLED BY DISASTERS..
One Met Death, with Six Other Children, by a Cyclone while at
School, the Other, a Married Son, was Run Over by a
Railroad Train—The Mother s Health Shattered.
80 much has been said regarding the al
most miraculous cure of Mrs. Ellen A. Oder
kirk, of Paw Paw, 111., from a serious illness,
that a reporter interviewed her and ascertained
the facts. Mrs. Oderkirk was found to be a
very genial lady about fifty years of age, and
a prominent member of the W. R. C. She
has met with many sad misfortunes in her life.
On June 20th, 1890, her younger son, Robbie,
a bright lad nine years of age, and the sun
shine of the home, was one of seven children
who were killed in an awful cyclone while at
school. That was not the only sad experience
of Mrs. Oderkirk’s life, for on November 11,
1893, her only remaining child, Lewis, a mar
ried son, was run over and killed by a Burling
ton train.
Mrs. Oderkirk’s health was shattered and
■he was a constant sufferer for years. Her
principal trouble was neuralgia of the stom
ach and this was very severe.
The story of her complete and wonderful
cure is described in her owu words, as fol
lows :
“About eight years ago I was attacked
with severe pains in the stomach which
would usually waken me from a sound sleep.
These pains were pronounced by local physi
cians to be neuralgia of the stomach. At first
the attacks occurred every two or three weeks,
but they became more severe and I would
often suffer three or four nights in succession,
especially if I overworked or became fatigued
or excited.
“ I was treated by four local physicians
for neuralgia, indigestion and nervousness,
none of which however succeeded iu giving

me any permanent relief. I became dis*
couraged and it seemed that I was doomed to
be a constant sufferer the rest of my life.
“About this time I learned that Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People contained
iu a condensed form, all the elements nec
essary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves.
“I was willing to try anything that offered
relief, and as the pills cost only 50 cents a
box or six boxes for $2.50, and could be had
at any druggist’s, or direct by mail from Dr.
Williams’ Medicine Company, Schenectady,
N. Y., I supplied myself with a quantity of
them. I had not taken them two weeks
when I noticed a marked improvement in
my condition. I continued taking the pills
until I had consumed seven or eight boxes
of them, and I considered myself entirely
cured. I can eat all kinds of food, which is
something I have not been able to do for
years. I am not troubled in the least with
nervousness as I was during the time of my
stomach troubles.
“So far as I know I am well and because
of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People
a complete cure has been made.
“ If any one would like to hear more of
the details of my suffering and reliefl shall
be glad to have them write me.
