She Couldn’t Understand it.
She was from the country, and
she was homesick. She admitted
this frankly. Many of the city
sights were a source of wonder to
her, but there was something lack
ing. She had been to the theater
and the museums and the parks
and the big department stores,
but still she looked anxiously
about for something she could not
find. *
“I wouldn’t live here for a mil
lion dollars,” she said at last.
“You don’t like it?” suggested
her city cousin inquiringly.
“Oh, it’s awful, simply awful,”
she replied: “wonderful, of course
but I can’t help feeling blue and
dissatisfied. I’m going back ro
the country.”
“You miss the green fields, I
suppose?”
“Oh, no; it’s not that.”
Does the noise bewilder and
frighten you?”
“A little, but I’d get used to
that.”
“Of course, the air is not as
pure—”
“Oh, I don’t mind that, and
the trolley-cars and the crowds
don’t trouble me very much. But
I haven’t seen a front gate to

Wilton Lackaye’s Estimate of a Rival
Uncle Tom.
Wilton Lackaye, the v actor, has
been credited with some v v *y bright
impromptu sayings, generh.'v hav
ing to do with the people and bings
of his calling and for that re. son
not always to be appreciated by ihc
layman. This, however, seems like
one well within the grasp of even
nontheater goers. In the winter of
1900-01 Lackaye was playing Uncle
Tom in a Chicago revival of Die
popular old drama made from Mrs.
Stowe’s book. During the engage
ment there the play was produced
at low prices in another Chicago
theater, and Lackaye, with some of
the fellow members of his company,
went out one afternoon to see their
roles acted by the minor players.
The Uncle Tom of the low price
performance was an immense chap,
weighing at least 300 pounds. When
the performance was over, one of
his companions turned to Lackaye
and asked-:
“Well, Will, what did you think
of the big fellow in burnt cork ?”
“Anatomically great! Uncle-
Tomicallv putrid!” was Lackaye’s
reply.—Philadelphia Times.

the same play. The actress de
scribes it as her “worst moment,”
und it is told as follows:
She was a little late for her third
entrance, and, seeing the child, as
she thought, waiting, as usual, in
the wings for her to take it on and
show it to its reputed father, caught
hold of its hand without a word and
whirled it after her on the stage,
delivering the lines which called the
actor’s attention to the “pledge of
our mutual love.” A perfect roar
of laughter broke from the audi
ence. Mrs. Potter gasped, looked at
the child and nearly fainted. She
had brought on a negress of the
blackest type.
DISLOCATED HER SHOULDER.
Mrs. Johanna Soderhome, of Fergus
Falls, Minn., full and dislocated her
shoulder. She had a surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but
it was quite sore and pained her very
much. Her son mentioned that he had
seen Chamberlain’s Pain Balm adver
tised for sprains and soreness, and she
asked him to hup her a bottle of it,
which he did. It quickly relieved her
and enabled her to sleep which she had
not not done for several days. The son
was so much pleased with the relief it
gave his mother that he has since reco
mended it to many others. For sale by

Lies of History.
Just as, some thirty years back,
SirFiorelli, says the Boston Her
ald, uncovered for us the ruins of
Pompeii, thereby enabling us to
form a very excellent idea of the
appearance of a Roman town of
tlie first century of the Christian
era, so, during three years past,
have the Germans been uncovered
ancient Babylon.
The results have been, though
scientifically interesting, some
what disappointing, for the city
has proved to bo by no means
either so magnificient or so exten
sive as popular imagination has
always pictured it.
Indeed, Dr. Koldwey, who is in
charge of the excavations, asserts
postively that the famous walls
were certainly not more than
eight miles in circumference.
Nor is this all, for not only was
the city comparatively insignifi
cent as regards size, but even its
vaunted splendor and wealtli of
architectural detail could, the
doctor declared, have had no real
existence.
Sun dried mud bricks constitu
ted the only building material
available, and large or imposing
edifices could not possibly have
been constructed by their aid
alone.
In reality the explorers have
convinced themselves, by actual
measurement, that not even in
Nebuchadnezzar’s royal palace
was there a single private apart
ment which would be considered
large enough nowadays for a
lady’s boudoir.
The biggest public room was
the Banqueting hall wherein or
curred the “Meme, meme, tekel
upharsin” incident, and this was
barely firty feet long. The houses
of the common people were mere
hovels. So perishes a cherished
illusion.
It is probably the same with
not a few of the semi-mythical
wonders of olden time. The fa

and which was esteemed one of

Care of the Ears.
Never apply a poultice to the
inside of the canal of the ear.
Never put anything in the ear
for the relief of toothache.
Never use anything but a syr
inge and warm water, for cleans
ing the ears.
Never strike or box a child’s
ears. This has been known to
rupture the drumhead and cause
deafness.
Never scratch the ears with any
thing but the fingers if they itch.
Don’t ufce the head of a pin, hair
pin, pencil tip or anything of that
nature.
Never put milk, fat or any oily
substance in the ear for the relief
of pain, for it soon becomes ran
cid and tends to incite inflama
tion. Simple warm water v ill
answer the purpose better than
anything else.

Something in a Name.
Judge Wolford, who has earned
a reputation forquaintphilosophy,
in Kansas City, asked the name of
one of the girls of his probationary
school. “Mario,” she said. Hump!
“No wonder you stole,” returned
the judge. “You should have
been named May or Jane. A girl
with such a name as Marie hasn’t
a fair show.”
The judge only stated in his
emphatic way a curious fact—
which others have observed—that
names of children do influence
their careers. Parents should he
very careful what names they
give their offspring, especially
their boys. The particular in
stance of “Marie” may appear to
be far-fetched, but it illustrated
one phase of a general rule, which
is that not many names will hear
transplanting. To limit the dis
cussion to boys: Osoar or Adolph
does very well in Sweden or Ger
many, but neither will fuse ac
ceptably with English ideas. Oc
casionally, an Oscar or Adolph in
Amerioa becomes a leading citi l
zen, but they are white crows.
Generally speaking, a boy should
have a one syllable name or one
that can be readily “nicked.”
A Reginal or Clarence hasn’t
near the chances for the presiden

may be exceptions, though it must
be admitted that a boy who wins
under that handicap should be
given special credit.

The Treacherous Mule.
The western Missouri court of
Appeals h s rendered a decision
on the mule that will he of inter
est to the legal profession.
It has declared that the mule
a treacherous animal, and so w*m
known is this fact that if a work
man is injured because of those
traits of disposition in the mule,
the employer cannot plead ignor
ance of the mule’s nature as a de
fence.
The decision was made in the
cast of Pete Borden against the
Fuik Costruction company. Bor
den worked for the company. He
went beneath a heavy machine on
wheels to hook a chain. A span
of inules was hitched to the ma
chine, and while Borden was be
neath it the driver of the mules
was ordered by the superintendent
to go beneath the machine to help
Borden. Thereupon the mules
started and one of the machine's
wheels ran over Borden’s foot and
crushed it. He sued the Falk
company and obtained judgement
that was affirmed by the court of
Appeals, which says:
“The mule is a domestic ani
mal and also is one whose
treacherous and vicious nature is
so generally known that even
courts ipay take notice of it. The
company cannot be heard to
•laim that it did not know of the
treacherous"and unreliable quali
ties of this animal. It seems to
us that'the defendant was guilty
of grossest negilgence in ordering
the teamster to assist Borden.
Any manjof ordinary prudence,
under such {circumstances, would
not only have placed himself in
front ofjthe mules, but he would
with his hands have firmly grap
pled and held the briddle bits of
each of them.”
