Park-"Heart of the KIondiIxe."

Next Thursday, Friday and Saturday the
Park is to have Davis 81 Keogh's new play,
Heart of the Klondike." The design of
the play is to present a vivid picture of the
gold mines of the Klondike, and acquaint
the public with the manner of men AMI
women and their lives and deeds In that
distant region. The scenic investment of
the play is said to be of an extraordinary
character, showing the vast reaches of the
Yukon and the Klondike, the snow and Ice
covered mountains A distinct thread of
comedy has been woven into the dramatic
fabric and so there is not only interest and
instruction, but lot of genuine fun in the
Heart of the Klondike." 1t should prove a
popular attraction here as it was reported
to be elsewhere. Carefully chosen and eff
cient is the company that will interpret the
play, including Wilbur Hudson, John c..
Smiley, George Wessles, j. p. Mintern,
Harry Barker, John Price, George Adams,
Z. ]. Holland, Joseph Tiley, Harry c. Yer
non, Lestern LOnergan, jr., Hattie Schell,

THE GREAT BATTLESHIP OREGON &

1 he Nft1LA Ba
The trip of the Oregon around Cape
Horn, a distance of 1900 miles, with
out doing any particular damage to her
machinery, is an achievement in which
we all take pride. 1t is like the man
or woman who reaches the ripe old
age of 100 years. Very few do it, but
a great many could if proper care be
taken of the health. AT the first sign
of disorder in the stomach. liver or
blood, help should at once be secured
by taking Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
The stomach is the starting point of
nearly every disease, and the Bitters
correct the ailments of that important
organ. With the digestive organs in
a healthy state, the length of life is
increased.

The Queens Four Leaved Clover.

An amusing story of Queen Hortense,
daughter of the Empress Josephine and
wife of Louis ~Bonaparte, king of Hol.
land, has lately been told. After her cx-
lilo from Holland the ex-queen %sojourn-
ed for II time in Il modest haoitation
near Constance, in Switzerland.
AS her health was broken down by
her troubles her physicians prescribed Il
visit to the mountains of Appenzcll,
and the ex-qucen, accompanied only by
u reader OF female companion and two
or three servants, went to n rustic
ncighborhood in the hills. There she
and her companion found nothing bet
ter to do than hunt for four leaved clo-
yer and became quite excited in tho
search.
"To lend the matter interest" the
queen wrote in Il letter which has been
brought to light, 1--WE would assume
that each discovery of Il four lcavcd clio
Yer had some prophetic significance.
The mex one, if found so and SO, meant
that we should return to France; an
other meant that | was to receive n let
ter the ncxt day from my son Louis,
and SO II. In this innocent pastime We
found positively the only excitement
That was open to us in the place.
But sou it was noised abroad
among the children of the neighborhood
that we We're continually hunting -four
lclvcd clover, and consequently, these
children argued, we must want it very
much. Then al! the children and some
of the grown people We're IL hunting
four lcavcd clover, and soon great
punches of it were brought to us, fo1
which we had to show ourselves very
grateful.
"In another day our only resource for
amusement was gone, for these kind
but superscrviccablc people had strip
ped the neighborhood for n mile around

No Flowers Allowed Mt n Military Funeral.
FLOWERS can play no part in Il mill

army officer to II reporter. "Whilo l
was down ut Chickamauga recently it
WIS runIorcd that one of the soldiers in
IL camp there had died. Indeed it was

was that Oh the following day a large
quantity of flowers We're sen by sympa-

that they should be placed on the coffin
of the dead soldier. Now. the fact was
that no soldier had died and the officers
had the flowers sent to their quarters.
II there were u death in the camp, the
flowers could not be used, for they are
o military in any sense. The only
thing allowed on the coffin of Il soldier

giants of the forest growing out of it's head, while the other is duck-billed platypus, lone of the most remarkable of known animals The caterpiller is the property of pr. G. M. Hall of the Alameda, and the platypus came con- signed to Captain Horace z. Howard, superintendent of the Oceanic Steam ship Company's wharf.
 "The caterpiller makes it's home prin- cipally in the thermal springs distriet of the north island of New Zealand, ," said Dr. Hall. when talking about the matter. When released from con- finement 1t eats voraciously of every thing that comes in its way. Very frequently it attempts to swallow the seed of one of the forest trees and thus commits suicide. vThe seed sticks in the caterpiller's throat and chokes it to death. Then the seed takes root in the insect and gathering strength the young shoot forces it's way out into the sunlight. Sometimes the roots fail to find their way out of the body into the earth and the shoot dies. Then you have the specimen that I secured when l was over there. In the majority of instances the roots do reach mother earth, however, and from the.seed that germinated in the body of the cater piller we get one of the giants of the forest" pr. Hall is very proud of his specimen and has had a glass case made for it. so that his curious friends cannot handle it.
 Captain Towards platypus kept sci- entists guessing for over a generation. They did not know whether to class it as fish, flesh or fowl, and it was only about fourteen years ago that its status was finally settled. The animals,

 Twelve years ago Mrs. Eddy with drew from the center of the world Of Christian Science, which she had To- cated in Boston, and retired to Concord N. H., to finish a book which she was writing This book, called Science and Health, With a Key to the Scriptures, ' is the text book of the denominations One hundred and forty thousand copies are in circulation already. This DOCK is the pastor of the 300 churches. A few years ago Mrs. Eddy abolished the personal ministers of the Church or Christ, and this book was installed III their place.
 And now I come to the strangest phase of the strange controversy which has lately ragged about Mrs. Eddy-to the belief of her intimates in the faltn that she is immortal-to the bellet or certain opponents that she IS supJect to justification and mental assassina- tion"; that she is already in measure dead
 Among Mrs. Eddy's pupils are many who have failed to adhere to the strict lines of Christian Science. They prac- ticed and taught hypnot1sm ana lnlna cure" instead of healing through 1altn in God. These either voluntarily sepa- rated themselves or fell into disrepute with the governing body of Forty First Pupils in whom all authority for the faith was vested, and they became out casts from Christian Science. Many ot them, it was claimed, had no other pur- pose than that of making money. WhlIe Mrs. Eddy has finally permitted her pupils to receive money for instruction, it was long against her rulings. .,
 Many of these people have made spe- cial claims for themselves, and gath cred followers about them. Most of these, naturally, are not friendly to the Christian Science powers, and espe- cially to the discoverer of the belief. These are they who are claSsed as mental malpractitionerS.
