Every family in the city which numbers

"Dere Santa Claws:
"Give me dol with red shos, stow and
dol buggy and sum candy and new broth

When asked why she wanted Santa Claus
TO give her two bottles OF Rainier Beer,

speaking of the play has said:

SACRAMENTO FREE NIGHT SCHOOL,
An institution But Little Known to the
Public.
It's Rapid Development and tho Faoil-
tiles for Education Afforded
by 1t.

There is one branch of our city educa-
tional department of which the general
public enlertains very hazy idea and
as d matter of fact many people hardly
know Of its existence, the object for
which It was instituted, or its value to the
community.
1t is the night school, which is held in
the Perry Seminary building.
Our public Gay schools give TO the
children of the city the opportunity to
attend them in the day time and secure
the advantages OF grammar school and
higA school education, but there are
many who by reason Of being occupied
in the day Time are unable to attend
them, or nave arrived at an age when
they feel ashamed to be classed among
those younger than themselves, who have
enjoyed better advantages. To these the
night school offers an opportunity to OBJ
tain d better education or To make up the
deficiencies that perhaps want OF incIina-

faces that show by their intentness the
| realization by their owners that it is an OPP
poriunity not TO be sighted or neglected.
! No matter upon what they are engaged,
! their minds are fully employed with the
subject and they are oblivious to all that

! 10 and meu 80 years old are ali there with
! q common otject-that OF better fitting
themselves for the struggle of life and the
battle for existence that is each year be-
coming harder TO wage successfully.
Only a few short years ago one teacher
was deemed amply sufficient for the
school, and pretty hard crowd collected
there sometimes. partly for fun and
partly for study. Now there are four
teachers, and more quiet, orderly, at
tentive and studious assembly OF young
men and women it would be hard TO find
in any institution of higher education.
The teachers are patient and painsiaking,
and enjoy the respect and confidence OF
their pupils, who. on the other hand,
strive 10 profit by their instructions.
Ii il not long since only boys and young
men were the only ones TO be found

Wasps and suicide.

A short time ago VI. Henry. French
man, being curious to see the effect OF
benzlne on a wasp, put some of it under
a glass in which wasp was imprisoned.
The wasp Immediately showed signs of
great annoyance and anger darting at
piece of paper which had introduced the
benzine into his cell. By and by he
seems to have given up the unequal CON-
test in despair. for he lay down on his
back, and, bending up his abdomen,
planted his suing thrice into his body,
and then died. NJ. Henry allowed his
scientific interest to overcome his human
ity so lar as TO repeat the experiment
with three wasps, only TO find that the
other two did likewise. He is, therefore,
OF the opinion that wasps, under des-
perate circumstances, commit suicide

RHEUMATIC CURE

To the Editors of Sacramento News
papers:
Having discovered a positive and
speedy cure for rheumatism, L address
you in the hope that you will give pub
licity to my claim. I am well aware that
IN making the bold assertion that have
discovered a positive cure for rheuma-
tism there will arise a strong doubt IN
the minds of the public as to the truth
of this statement, and that large ma
jority of the people will class this new
discovery with the Koch lymph failure
and the Brown-Sequard eliXir-of-life
decisions.
1t is to overcome this prejudice that
invoke the aid of the press. L court the
fullest investigation under your direct
and personal supervision. l would sug-
gest that the fairest and surest way to
test the efficacy of this remedy would
be for me to send 5000 trial bottles TO
the Record Union office, there to be
given out absolutely free" to all per-
sons afflicted with rheumatism; that the
name and address of each person who
accepted the remedy be entered in a
book, and at the end of one week a re-
porter be detailed to interview the par
ties who have taken the medicine and
that the results of each case be pub
lished with special permission in the
Sacramento newspapers. BY this means
there can be no deception or fraud,
and the value Of this remedy will stand
or fall upon the testimony of those who
have tried it.
improbable as this statement may
seem to you or to those who have doc
tored for years with the most skillful
physicians without benefit, yet / affirm
and am prepared to prove by over
100000 people whom we have cured
that this remedy will cure acute or
muscular rheumatism in from one to
five days. 1t never fails to cure sharp,
shooting pains in the arms legs, sides,
back or breast, or soreness in any
part Of the body. 1t is guaranteed to
promptly cure lameness, sciatica, lum-
bago, stiff and swollen joints stiff back
and all pains in the hips and loins. II
seldom fails to give relief after one or
two doses, and almost invariably cures
before one bottle has been used.
We do not claim this remedy will cure
rheumatism where the limbs are twist
ed out of shape, or where the disease is
CNIIpllCdlcQ ny ii IolblOuS QidlACSlS
but by a careful record we find that this
remedy fails to cure in only about 4
per cent. of the cases in which it has
been tried.
One Of the strongest recommends
lions for this remedy is that it is absO-
lutely harmless and that person can
take the whole contents of bottle with
out the slightest i'll effects. Unlike the
medicines used in ordinary practice
for the cure of rheumatism, such as
iOdide of potash and salicylic acid
which irritate the stomach and kidneys
without effecting a cure, this remedy
acts as a strong tonic and is invaluable
in building up weak and debilitated
people.
Believing that there is no cause so
holy and inspiring, no vocation so lofty
and ennobling, nothing so sure of mans
gratitude and Gods blessing as an hon
est effort to relieve suffering humanity,
I beg TO remain yours truly,
