AT THE THEATERs

LOS ANGELES THEATER-The en-
tertainment last night was a conglomer-
ate of plays of the "Old Homestead
type, with a plentiful infusion of melo-
drama, served up with a vaudeville
sauce Of indefinite flavor, the whole chris
tened Isl Perkins"
There was but slim attendance and
1t cannot be fairly claimed that the
concoction presented deserved any
larger patronage.
The show is of type familiar to cheap
houses in one-night stands and does not
deserve to have a place on the boards
of the principal theater Of this city.
BURBANK THEATER. Oracle
Plaisted In her Arabian Night" per-
formance and backed by a ballet of

public nightly.
ORPHEUM.-Two shows day of good
vaudeville are being given this week

fcrmance.

The Queen of Greece.

1t is said by lady who recently Wis
tied Greece and had the honor Of meet
ing the royal family that perfect har-
mony exists between them, and the king
and queen are devoted to their children.
The queen is still very beautiful wom-
an and the only lady admiral in the
world. She holds this rank in the Rus
sian army, an honorary appointment
conferred on her by the late car because
her father held the rank of high ad-
miral and for the reason that she is a
very capable yachtswoman. The king
has very remarkable memory, an in
teresting personality, and is brilliant
conversationalist. He goes about the
streets of Athens without any attend
ants and talks with any friend he
chances to meet. Prince George is very
attractive, and his feats of strength,
shown often in the cause of chivalry,
are continuous subject Of conversation
among the people.

QUALITY CREEL, May H.-Yesterday
being beautiful day there was an UNI
usually large crowd at EbeneZer. Rev,

only liked by his own congregation,
but by the entire community.
Sunday afternoon the Christian
Endeavor held a very interesting SER
vice. This society was organized Feb.
%, with sixteen active members and
four associate members; it has now in
creased to membership of thirty
active members and seventeen associate
members. They will hold a business
meeting Saturday afternoon, May %.
There is great deal of sickness in

out some illness.
Mr.. Thos. Foster has just recovered

BIGBYVILLE.

BIGBYvILLE, May 12-As our little
village has not been represented in
your newsy columns for several weeks,
we will not attempt to report all the
happenings, but only those of more
recent date.
The meeting of the Maury County
Sunday-school Convention, Saturday,
May S, was well attended. The pro-
ceedings evinced that the people Of
Maury County were alive to the i'm
portance of Sunday-school work. The
majority of the districts of the county
were represented either by delegates or
letter, but as only about so 60 of the
children were reported as being in the
Sunday-school, it is clearly to be seen
that much work is yet to be done.
Miss Ida Hildreth, of Mt. Pleasant,
came over last week to attend the Con-
vention and visit friends. Her many
admirers here always gladly welcome
her.
Misses Mary and Camille Frierson,
of Mississippi, are on visit to the

morrow for New York City, to be with

home.
Prof. C. S. Calvert made a business

The old man who looks out at the world
with clear and healthy eyes cannot
help feeling great qualification at the
from him no weakness nor tendency to dis
ease. The healthy old man is the man who
has throughout his life kept his digestion
good and his blood pure. Not one in a thou
sand does do 1t. Germs go through the
healthy body without effect. Let them once
find Judgement or let them find a weak
spot, they will develop by the million and
the blood will be full of them. Instead of
giving strength to the tissues, it will force

Medical Discovery is the only medicine that
absolutely and infallibly cures all blood dis
eases, and almost all diseases are blood dis
eases. 1t isn't medicine for some one par
ticular so-called disease. 1t is medicine
for the whole body. 1t forces out all the

II have always read, and always

young author, what literary men had
to say concerning their habits Of work.
In many cases productiveness appears
to depend upon mood-sometimes
