 the Famous Author of the Bonnie
 Brier Bush"
 "A nicht wi Ian MacLaren" Clan Mcleod, 31, o. S. C., gave an interest ing entertainment in the hall 400 State street on Thursday evening. There was a large attendance of members and friends. Chief P. P Gillespie occupied the chair and opened the meeting with a few felicitous remarks. Mrs. w. H. Meikle played Scottish selection on the piano with fine expression. MT. John Hume followed, singing "The Bonnie Brier Bush" with so much &C., ceptance that he had to reply with an encore Within a Mile O Edinburgh Toon." The chairman in a word intro- duced the lecturer, MT. James Mus tarde, secretary of the clan, the subject being, Ian Maclaren, his Life and Works" MT. Mustarde treated his subject very impartially and exhaus- lively. He gave vivid description of Maclaren's percentage and early life; sketched with great discrimination the famous authors mental development and his brilliant success as a preacher, and concluded with a pithy analysis of "The Bonnie Brier Bush" and "The Days of Auld Lang Syne," the two books which have made the name of Han Maclaren' a household word all over the world. The lecturer was lis tened to with marked attention throughout and received on closing a hearty round of applause. Mrs. Meikle rendered 'Jessie's Dream" almost per fectly, and as an encore gave the old favorite Jock O Hazeldean." MT, J. c. Morton sang with great spirit the well-known national song Scotland Yet" Mir. John Japp delivered, as il- frustrating the lecture, the pathetic and realistic incident in "The Bonnie Brier Bush entitled Through the Flood" The reading was much appreciated, be- ing read with fine elocutionary effect. Mrs. Meikle sang sweetly the famous old ballad "Auld Robin Gray" Mir, Japp followed with the world-famous story "The Doctors Last Journey" The reader-who is thorough Scot brought out all the finest points in this pathetic picture. His enunciatfon was clear and telling and his doric natural. broad and sympathetic. He proved very capable interpreter of the last scene in the life of Maclaren's great character, Dr. William Mcclure. MT. John Hume closed the program very appropriately by singing ScotIands famous requiem. 'The Land O the Leal." Altogether the clan may he congratulated on the success of one of the most pleasant and instructive meetings of the session. After singing Aud Lang Syne'' the meeting ad- journed.

himself as Tim, is compelled to accept the situation and the burden of Tim's misdeeds,
 O'Keefe's burdens are added to by the arrival of an old flame, Miss Marion Agnes McAleer, who has decided that she has given responsibility a fair chance and now proposes to see some- thing of the world under the guidance of O'Keefe.
 The second act brings all the char acters to Tom Best's Turkish smoking parlors, where Tom appears in his real character. O'Keefe mistakes him for Tim and upbraids him. Marcelle, while knowing that he Is not her husband nevertheless takes advantage of. the fact that he cannot deny it, Isabelle drives Tom nearly distracted by pre- tending to believe that she is In doubt as to whether she married Tim or Tom and by asserting that she does not know whether or not she is a wife or a widow. When Tom, furiously jealous of Dick, demands that the latter cease his attention to Isabelle Dick coolly informs him that he is acting with the consent of Tim Best, who is Isabelle's husband,
 In this act are introduced as part of the play a number of original and very pleasing, catchy musical numbers, while the fun of the act is greatly en- hanced by the action of O'Keefe in making love to Marion, who has dis guised herself in a Turkish costume, and who has learned that champagne cannot be drunk by a novice without oyNf fssocy also figures prominently in this act and adds his share to a funny complicatio which involves Marion.
 The action of third act takes place in the home of Tim Best, a house full of peculiar inventions and mechanical novelties, which serve to create laugh ter by means of an effect absolutely new to the stage. As Tom Best in this act Is compelled to again assume the character of his brother Tim 1t can readily be imagined that the funny complications of the piece keep the audience laughing constantly until the final fall of the curtain.
 Although this synopsis of the plot seems involved and difficult to follow in description, in action it is clear and

who is not fitted by good health for that position and for the responsibili- ties of motherhood. If a woman suffers from weakness and disease of the organs that make wifehood and motherhood pos sible, she should remedy these conditions before assuming the responsibilities of wife. Otherwise, she stands little chance of proving a happy and capable wife, and motherhood will always menace her with the terrors of death.
 A sure and quick cure for all weak uess and disease that units woman for matrimony and maternity is found in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It acts directly and only on the organs involved. It makes them strong and healthy. It cures all weakness and disease. It pre- pares for wifehood and motherhood. Taken during the expectant period it makes baby's coming easy and compara- lively painless. It insures the health of the child. Thousands of women have testified to its merits. Druggists sell it.

MERCHANTS DAY CARNIVAL
VIGOROUS WORK IN PREPARATION
 FOR THE EVENT.

An Efficient Aid for Raising Funds Secured They Have Secured Promise from MT. Bunnen ofa Fine Benefit Entertainment Rich & Harris' All Star Comedy Com pany.
 The merchants interested in the car nlVal on Wednesday, May 5, find, that, owing to the fact that the Consolidated road can do nothing for them in the way of reduction of fares it is necessary to try and raise funds to bring the people here free of charge. The merchants find that they must raise fully $1,5OO more than already subscribed.
 To help them out in this matter, MT. G. B. Bunnell proposes to tender ben- eft for the merchants fund.
 As the storekeepers propose to sell goods at cost in order to attract the suburban people here, and having all ready made generous subscriptions to defray expenses, the attitude of the railroad places them in pred1cament.
 Free fares to good people is the only way to make a success of the day.
 To help raise the money MT. Bunnell tenders the merchants the following benefit:

TronhIe Cansed by an ar.

Editor Clugston of the Spiketown
Blizzard looked out of the front window
of his Office, hurriedly grabbed his hat
and darted cut through the back door,
says the Chicago Journal.
The last issue of The Blizzard had
contained personal item to this effects:
"Our young friend, George Corbin-
son of Thatchersville, was in town
again last Sunday. Rumor has it that
he will soon lead to the altar beauti-
full belle of Spiketown. George is one

Editor Clugston had written it "solid
young men," but he knew it would be
of no use to try to explain the mistake
to the large, athletic young woman
who was approaching the office.
And so when Miss Euphorbia Lick
ladder, the acknowledged belle of
Spiketown, walked in at the front door
a few moments later and inquired in a
deep, tragic voice for the editor, Mr..
Clugston was emerging from back
alley ~ blocks away and making for
the open country.
