The New Eight Bells"

Eight Bells" that successful,
nautical. pantomimic comedy, which
the Brothers Bryne are responsible
for. will be at the Burtis tomorrow
evening. The new Eight Bells"
shows great Improvement over its
predecessor in this line. the sensa.
tional features being much stronger
in every way. One can hardly ap-
preciate the scene Of a ship complete
ly turning round. unless the ship in
Eight Bells" is seen, and then the
conviction will come that no more
howlingly funny act was ever de-
vised. 1t is not to the lines of the
play. but to the clever gymnastic
work Of John, James and Andrew
Byrne. who continue the life of the
performance, aided by a we'll bal
anced company, that the success of
the comedy is attributable. From
the rise OF the first to the fall OF the
last curtain. everybody is working
and working hard. 1t is 90 from
beginning to end. and SO humorous
are some of the situations that the
audience shows a disposition to re-
sent the excellence Of the perform
ance, for laughter toward the close
suggests the explosive sounds from
tired lungs and thrOats. In the pro-
duction this season there is a great
improvement. showing a desire on
the part of the Brothers Byrne to
keep the comedy up to its original
attractiveness. and they succeed in
giving very entertaining and
catchy performance. Taken in its
entirety the new Eight Bells" is a
nautical wonder and preserves its
success.

A Remarkable Cure .

Mrs. H. B. Adams, 1909 Wabash

scrofulous faint of the blood from
childhood, which. however, remained
dormant. An ulcer began on the
side Of the nose, having all the ap-
pearances OF q most malignant can.
Ger. The agony of mind I suffered
cannot be described as I contem-
plated the progress Of such . mslig-
nant disease. Finally was induced
to try Foley's Sarsaparilla. It ap-
peared to neutralize the poison in
the blood. The growth of the ulcer
ceased. The diseased tissues in the
bottom and edges of the sore seemed
to loosen and the natural flesh to
take its place. No part of the dis
ease remains" For sale at N. F.

For Footpads.
There is inan in Buena Park who
has always been afraid of being robbed
by footpads. A few weeks ago he decided
that he would prepare himself to defend
his property and person if attacked. Sc
he purchased revolver-not an ordi.
nary revolver, but long barreled one,
the sort the cowboys carry out west.
For several nights he carried the gun,
and the assurance with which he walked
no doubt frightened the footpads, for
they left him unmolested. He was
pleased with the sense of security he felt
from the humping of this weapon
against his leg, and his fears were quiet.

A moment later he felt for his watch,
it was gone. Then he felt for his gun

him courage. He turned and started on
the run in the direction the man had
taken, and before he had gone a block
overlook him. He grabbed him by the
collar with his left hand, and, sticking
the pistol in his face, commanded him
to give up til watch.
"All right, all right; don't shoot -
said the trembling man, as he handed
out watch. and, breaking away, ran
down the street as fast as his legs would
carry him.

there was no response, and putting the
watch in his pocket he started toward
