An ENJOYABLE Night,

One of the brightest performances
ever witnessed, says Guy Pemberton in
the Evening Sun, is that delightful,
whimsical, natural play, "She Couldn't
Marry Three" 1t is homeHke, the story
most probable and interesting, causing
tears of sympathy or hearty laughter.
Unconsciously you are interested in
Miss Kennedy's portrayal of "Bess. "
You laugh and cry with her as she fits
like beam of light through each act of
the play. She laughs, cries, sings,
dances; she'sa hoyden, a trusting little
fisher maiden, and no matter what she
does she carries you along with her an
unresisting worshipper at her shrine.
What a sturdy, massive, picturesque
figure Mr. Sullivan is in the character of
"Davie," the rough fisherman and
heroic lover; his quiet intensity suggests
the strength of the ocean. And laugh
with reminiscent pleasure as l recall
that delightful, verdant, uproarious,
foolish Bob Backus" as played by Mr.
Kennedy. l surrendered at once, I'm
laughing yet, and advise those who de-
plore the fact that we have SO few good
plays, go see "She Couldn't Marry
Three" and be happy.

There's a patent medicine winch is
not patent neutrality-suspicious. as
that may sound. It's discovery the
golden discovery of medical science It's
the medicine for you-tired, run down,
exhausted, ve-wasted men and
women; for you sufferers from skin or
scalp, liver or lungs-its chance is with
every one, its season always, because it
aims to purify the fountain of life-the
blood-upon which all such diseases de-
pend. The medicine is DIR Pierce's Col
den Medical Discovery. The makers of
it have enough confidence in it to sell it
on trial. That is--you can get it from
your druggist, and if it doesn't do what
it's claimed to do, you can get your
money back, every cent of it,
That's what Its makers call taking the
risk of their words.
Tiny, little, sugar coated granules, are
what DIR Pierces pleasant pellets are. The
best liver pills ever invented; active, yet
mild in operation; cure sick and bilious
headaches. One dose.

Canadian Railroad Guards.

After nightfall, along the three thou
sand miles of the Canadian Pacific rail-
road, no matter how bare the prairie
nor how wild or desolate the mountain
or lake shore. any one standing on the
rear platform can see every few miles a
lantern in the hands of track walker,
who, after the train passes, resumes his
duty along the track. 1t is a rule on
this road that after the passage of each
train the roadway shall be carefully in
spected, and particularly the bridges,
for fear that some spark from the loco
motive may have set fire to them.
Along hundreds of miles between
Ottawa and Winnipeg, over.the prairios
of Assiniboia and Alberta, and through
the mountain ranges far west, the hum

even lives before them.
On one Of the big plantations oppo-
site Shreveport every effort was being
made to withstand the flood. Hands
were collected from every cabin and
recruited from all the adjoining places
to strengthen the water-soaked levees,
which shook on the pressure of mans
foot.
1t was almost dusk, but the men who
had not rested for days worked with
the strength of fresh 'vigor as the voice
of Tom Aiken, the planter, directed
them and cheered them on to the task
which seemed so hopeless as the water
crept steadily and steadily higher. But
for the fact that everyone was busy
with his work, little negro, who sud-
denly dropped his spade and stole away
betwixt the wheels of the big sand
wagon, might have been seen as he
scurried away around the curve in the
enb2nkment.
He ran quickly along for full quar-
ter Of q mile without looking back,
down the narrow, slippery road that
was left between the cotton rows and
the levee. The boy Stacked his pace
when he became convinced that no one
was in pursuit Of him, and as he did so
he heard the loud, CHEEKY voice of Tom
Aiken back at the break: 'An work
together, boysp'
"Huh! All work together" the boy
said. "Yessir, but you bet dis here
Niger done tired er workin' togedder.
| Ise gwine to sleep, is. 1 an shet my
eyes fur two whole days'an' nights, an
gwine round the pint to Ann why's
an go to sleep"
In his eagerness to reach the coveted
goal the little negro quickened his pace
again. 1t was now almost dark, but
his eyes had grown accustomed to the
| gloom. He could see the curving line
of the levee, which seemed to tremble
with promonition of it's own made
quacy; he could see all the waterpools
in the road. His little legs had meas
ured perhaps a mile more when the
ominous roar of the river made him
stop and peer over the levee at the
rushing waters.
AS he scrambled up the slippery bank
clod of loosened earth fell heavily
into the road below, and through the
orifce which it left little stream of
muddy water trickled. The boy caught
his breath quickly when the water ran
over his hand.
"Lordyv he exclaimed. ''Dere's
gwlne to be a break right here. Lordy!
Lordy! what 1 gwine do!''
He stopped to reconsider. There was
still another mile before he could reach

hands and feet he pressed it about him,
patting it to make it firm
Tho difficulty had been solved with
out his volition almost. 1t was only
after it was done that he thought of
the consequences. He calculat el in his
unreasoning way that it was eight
o'clock. How long would he have to
remain there? For aught he knew, till
morning. He began to suffer by and
by from his cramped position, but he
dared not move even the least bit lest
the crevasse would open again
He could not tell how time passed.
Every minute seemed an hour. He
could not hear the shouts of the men
below. There was only now and then
the boot of an owl rising above the
roar of the water, or the swish as a
clod of earth was sucked into the mad
current He wished he had not run
away from his work.
He began to get drowsy; his limbs
were almost numb. He wondered
| what would become of him if he should
go to sleep. If the waters should rise
up over the levee and drown him and
ruin the cotton, would it make any diff
ference then that he had tried to save
it? He was inadequate to the problem,
the like of which has puzzled graver
| heads than his. The hooting of the
owl grew less and less frequent, the
swishing of the waters fainter and
fainter, the pain in his back easier.
He'must have slept some time. Sud
denly he was awakened by the gallop
of horse on the road below. lie was
too weak to move. His voice was al
most gone, but as the horse and rider
approached he cried out with all the
strength he could summon: "Marse
| Tom!''
Mr.. Aiken drew rein quickly and
turned his big lantern in the direction
of the voice.
''Who is it, and where are you?" he
asked, dismounting.

'What the mischief are you doing

said a well-known gambler. Cam
blers are superstitious, but not in this
way that have ever heard of. They
have a mortal fear of pennies and will
often throw them away, thinking that
the copper brings them bad luck. In
the game of faro bank coppers are gen
orally used, and pennies are considered
as omens of evil if carried in the pock-
cts.
at is Just the same with old pocket
knives or anything that may be thought
unlucky. They would sooner fling half
their possessions into the river than
run the chance of losing a game. 1t is
sometimes very amusing to see how
these superstitious notions prevail, but
| suppose they are so we'll established
that they are taken quite seriously.
'Then gamblers make great deal Of
how they take their seats at a table and
whether they are accosted by anyone
while they are playing. If you put
your foot upon gamblers chair while
he is playing he would call you hoo

you, as such a thing is counted un-

INDIAN RUNNERS.
They Arc Employed In Mexico to Carry
Mail Over the Mountains.

They Arc Employed in Mexico to Carry
Mail Over the Mountains.
The Indian runners are familiar fig
ures in Mexico, says the San Francisco
Call. They are employed by the gov
eminent to carry the mails among the
Sierra Nevada mountains, and make
better time than any animal that could
be employed. A runner will carry from
twenty to thirty pounds of mail and
never be delayed by washouts or swol-
len streams He is always on an easy
run that must carry him along six or
seven miles an hour at least. He is
nearly always dressed in white cotton
cloth, which makes him a conspicuous
figure against the somber green and
black tints Of the high mountain levels,
and which late in the evening causes
him to look like a ghost or specter
fitting among the pines and frs and
moss-covered powders strewn along the
trail.
The trails, on the steep places, wind
backward and forward in stretches
from fifty to seventy-five yards in
length, in order to find grade up which
heavily laden pack mule can make
his way. But the athletic carrier does
not run the whole length of these wind
ings in descending hill. He cuts off
the corners at each bend by placing his
hand on the edge of the trail and vault
| ing to the lower level whenever the two
| levels are not more than six or seven
feet apart. All this time he never gives
| up the little dog trot that is carrying
him forward SO rapidly and surely. The
carrier will in half an hour go down a
mountain side that would take the best
mule in a bullion train or the f1eetest
one ridden by the little Mexican caba1-
lero, the best rider in the world, half a
day to accomplish. In ascending, too,
the carrier has methods of taking
shorter cuts up sleeper inclines, so as to
gain time and distance at every instance.

will open as soon as you move"
"Yessir; but hurry, boss" answered
the boy.
AS Aiken turned to remount he heard
the sound of boat wheels around the
curve and the whistle sounded out
hoarsely.
'By George!' exclaimed Aiken,
''there's boat, and three more inches
of water will top the levee here and
then all is LOST
in few moments the boat rou 2ded
the curve and the big lights shone out
across the water.
1.-THE Marsdcn," Aiken said, as he
saw the two smolze-staclzs, with Nor
ton at the wheel; l shall have to fight
for it.
So saying he picked up his gun from
where he had dropped it when ne dis
mounted, and strobe on a few PAGES up
stream to meet the boat.
''Steer for the other sider' he called
out when the boat was in hailing dis
lance.
''I'm running this machine" re-
sponded the coarse voice of Morton,
land guess the river is free
Aiken could see the little tongues of
water as they overlapped the banks
above. If the boat did not turn she
would send the water over the levee
lower down where the boy was, and he
and the whole embanlment would be
sucked in. There was no time to be
lost.
Swinging the lantern above his head
so that Morton might see him, he
flung his rifle to his shoulder and
called back: Come another foot
nearer to this shore and you are a
dead man"
Morton knew what manner of man
he had to deal with. The wheel re-
versed, the boat tackled and grazed the
opposite shore, which was already sub
merged
"All right now, Pete" said Aiken,
gently, patting the boys muddy pate.
s'I'll go on and be back in a few mo-
ments."
When they came by and by and put
sandbags in the hole Pete had been
covering the little follow was too weak
to speak or to stand, and MIR. Aiken
took him up in his arms and himself
carried him to the house.
And now Pete does nothing but ride

THE MOON AND THE SOUL.

In the crescent cradle OF the new
saw the old moon lying,
Her curtains Of transparent blue
The night winds were untying,
And there she lay with nought to do
But find Joy in dying.
Oh, say death, to lie in state
All in silver crescent,
While wlnSome stars upon thee wait
And planets smile so pleasant,
To watch before the golden gate
The past become the present
To lie unmoved by moan or rnirth
While you the goal are winning,
To feel that death is only birth,
That life is but beginning,
And still have sense of this old earth
Without thought of shining
To see the old put on the new,
To feel not pain but pleasure
To lie at ease the long night through,
All day to doze at leisure,
Must be elysium unto you
And bliss beyond all measure.
How different is the fate of man
Who, here on earth sojourning,
Spins round the sun little span,
And then with grief and mourning
Goes out in darkness-bitter ban
From which there's no returning
Yet not star in all the skies
However old and hoary,
Can tell whene'er the mortal dies,
The opening of the story
That shall begin whene'er our eyes
Shall see the King of Glory.

According to DIR. Baudin, of the

blood relationship existing between the
parents. In Berlin there are deaf
mutes among every 10000 Professionals,

number of deaf mutes is larger where
the religion allows consanguineous
marriages. The number also increases
in countries where there are natural
obstacles to marriages between those
not thus related. In France the proper
ton is to 10000 inhabitants, in Corsi-
