How His Life Was Saved. /.


From the New YORK City Catholic Newsl
No one would think TO look at
Richard B. Brown, a commission
merchant of No. 800 Washington
street, NV York city, that for six
weeks he has suffered in agony in his
bed and that physicians had said it
was impossible for him to regain his
health.
But now he is back in his office,
vigorous and hearty He regards
DR.. David kennedy's Favorite kem-

Browns story is remarkable.

to relieve me. At the advice of friends

failed TO do me any good. All this
time l was growing worse, and at
last l was compelled to take my
bed.
"My mother-in-law had heard OF
DR.. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and
she asked me to give it a trial. | had
been confined to my bed for five
weeks and | admit thatI didn' think
there was much chance of getting out

There seemed to be a change that
surprised me. In a week | was able

virsimia and Its Nickname.

The authorities in the colony Of
Virginia, at the time of the contest In
England between the Stuarts and
Cromwell, appear to have been de-
voted to the Stuarts, and when tho
Cromwellian government threatened
to send q fleet TO reduce the colony to
submission, its officials dispatched .
message TO young Charles, who wa
afterward King Of England. under tho
title Of Charles II, but was then hiding
in France, asking him to come over
and be king Of Virginia. It is said
that Charles was on the point Of start.
ing, when the collapse Of the common
wealth and the Cromwcllian regime
took place, which sent him back to the
English throne. Charles never forgot
this devotion Of Virginia to his for.
tunes, and that colony was subse-
quently classed with England, Scot
land and Ireland a. one of the main
portions Of the empire. In this way
Virginia came TO be known among tho
American colonies rs the Old Domin.
ion.

phrase, simply "out Of sight" and
brought the house down.
One Of the neatest selections was a
trio, entitled Rainfall by the Misses
Blanche Sherman, Nellie West and
Grace Fort.
The comic quartet, "The A~uctioneer,'
rendered by Mesdames Emma Martin,
Rose West, and Messrs. Albright and
Getting. brought forth continuous ap.
plause.
The cornet solo, by Prof. Jenkins was
rendered in his usual happy way. The
Professor is always at his best when fin
gering q cornet.
A selection by the band was a part Of
the program at this iuncture, and was
rendered In the usual excellent manner.
The comic male quartet. 1.-The Girl
Who Sat Down on My Hat" sang by
Jno. Dickerson, d. G. Jenkins, Edgar
Getting and Henry Clark, brought out
the mirthful ~propensities Of the audi.
ence, and we're encored 30 heartily that
they responded with another comic
ditty. 1.-THE Pie Song" The audience
went into e~cstacies and loudly applaud
cd until the singers returned for the
third time.
A soprano solo by Miss Josie Igou
"Ah, ! have sighed TO rest me" was sung
with that grace and ease for which she
is noted. She has a rich and melodious
voice and always pleases. Good night,
but net good bye" by Miss Lille Smith
assisted by a full chorus, was a very
pretty finale for tho occasion. Miss Lii.
lie has one OF those sweet voices that
one listens to and never tires, and this
time was no exception.
Probably no city in the state has as
many fine lady singers az has Red Cloud
and The ChIEr feels a pardonable pride
In chronicling the fact. The last nights
entertainment was no exception. The
beautiful music by the pianist Miss
Mary Miner. together with the sweet
songs Of the ladies and gentlemen seem.
ed to watt all lovers Of good music into
angelic realms. The occasion will long
be remembered.

A Mean Man Takes. Advantage Of Every
Occasion to Indict Them.
He was one Of those punsters who
make p6ns even at funerals. Just like
the man that John Dennis had in mind
when, in 1891, he wrote: "A man who
would make SO vile a pun would not
'scruple to pick 4 pocket" He makes
vile pans, mostly, but he makes q good
one now end then. A man who makes
many puns cannot help but make =
good one once in awhile. The partiqu-
lar pun which is to be given to Tho
public in this paragraph was made In
the office Of a certain official who has .
white beard long and flowing. The
punster and a reporter entered tho Of.
fee together and together spoke
to the official. The reporter mo-
ticed q hair on the officials shoulder
and said: ''Mr. -, there's a long,
white hair on your coat; I'll take 10
off," The punster saw that his chance
had come, and, gathering himself AZ .
bloodthirsty mosquito does when about
to bite an innocent maiden, blurted
out: white h1r it away" Neither
the official nor the reporter spoke for
a moment. They were paralyzed BY
the desperate mans audacity.

SICNE 1885 there has been a decrease
in valuation in Webster county Of $685.
354, and a corresponding increase In ex.
penses. In 1886 the valuation OF all
property was e~2,5l5,376. In 1885, g..
Coz, 1922. In 1885 the levy was IL mills,
this year IL is 10 mills, 80 il will be seen
that the sbrinksge is against the people
90 a whole. A fair valuation would
make the levy much lees. What
seems the queerest. is the fact that, in
the ten years mentioned that the de-
crease has taken place, over 10000 acres
Of raw land have been cultivated and
improved. Something is wrong.
