THE MORNING CALL.
Vol. X. No. 118.
SOCIAL SALAD
PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL.
The life of the stage has an ever
present interest tor those who know
little of it, except what they see
through the medium of anopera glass.
Like many another thing of this world,
the distance of this long range vision,
whether taken literally or figuratively,
is responsible for the enchantment of
the beholder. With few exceptions,
those who have a nearer view, looking
over the footlights in the opposite di
rection, find the gold to be tinsel, the
finery tawdry, and the gutter aglare.
In speaking of newspaper life, one of
New York’s editors said not long ago :
“The steps of the newspaper offices are
spattered with the brains of young
men.” Much the same might be said,
with a slight variation, and subtituting
“ women" for "men,” of the stage. It
is a fiery furnace through which few
pass unscathed “A Born Aristocrat,’’
by Matthew White, Jr„ deals with the
story of a girl, Barbara Van Dyke, who
is suddenly reduced from affluence tc
poverty, and who goes upon the stage
to support her mother and younger
•ister, Freda. The description, iu the
opening chapters of the bock, of Bar
bara’s unsuccessful efforts to enlist the
aid of former friends, is only too true
to life, as is her first experience with a
theatrical manager. But in the latter
she was much more fortunate than the
majority of her sisters in real life. To
be accepted at the first place of appli
cation. is not the experience that falls
to rpaoy She begins as a chorus girl,
and the story is that of her upward
climb upon the theatrical 'adder, until
she finally makes success a reality
The sweetness and delicacy of her
home life is maintained throughout,
nod the attachment of the two sisters
for each other, makes not a little of
the charm and interest of the story,
until it ends with Barbara’s retirement
and marriage, and Freda’s succession
to her part in the play of “The Born
Aristocrat,” which gives its name to
the book. Os the probability of the
story, one must judge for himself, re
cording to bis experience and opinion.
It is, at least, well worth reading.

I kiss thee first love, as I would a queen,
Kneeling, just touching with my rev
enet lips.
And then I kiss thy hair when with the
sheen.
Os shredded jet, it falls to cool and
screen.
Thy beating heart, then, as fib® first
sips.
In honey—longing round a roste, then
dips.
Deep into it, as ifthere’d never been.
Or ever was to be, another, so I first
touch, just tuch my lips to thine.
Then with deep kisses, that are strong
to bering,
Thy inmost soul beneath my passion’s
power,
I take possession, make thee mine,
all mine.
My rose thou art! My queen, I am
thy king!

Leafness Cannot be Cured.
By local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition ot tbe
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catanh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co

assist one in avoiding the worthless

ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
posit or strong odor.
When tbeso srmp’nn « nre prcsrn’, lo
time should be lost m removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may run
into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such diseases. Its reputation is world
wide and it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention The Middle
Georgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.. f:r a
sample bottle and book telling all about it,
both sent absolutely free by mail. 1
