Biliousness, dyspepsia, loss of appetite,
disturbed sleep, nervousness, headache,
giddiness and drowsiness wind and pain
or fullness of the stomach after meals, cold
chills and hushings of heat, shortness of
breath-these are the blank cheques of
physical bankruptcy. Take them to a
physician and he will fill them up with the
name of some more or less serious disease.
Every time that you carry one of them to
him you draw out some of your funds in
the Bank of Health. Keep it up, and there
will soon be no funds in the treasury.
The man who suffers from these dis
orders and neg1ects them will soon be in
the relentless grasp of some fatal disease.
If he is naturally narrow chested and shall
low lunged, it will probably be consump-
ton; if his father or mother died of par
alysis or some nervous trouble, it will
probably be nervous exhaustion or prostra-
ton, or even insanity if there is ta1nt in
the family blood, it will be blood or skin
disease; if he lives in a new or a low,
swa1npy country, it will be malaria; if he
lives life of exposure, it may be rheu-
matism. There is just one safe course for
man to follow who finds himself out of
sorts and suffering from the symptoms
described. 1t is to resort to DR.. Plerce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This medicine
makes the appetite keen, corrects all dis
orders of the digestion, renders assimila-
ton perfect, invigorates the liver, purlfies
and enriches the blood and builds firm,
healthy flesh and nerve tissue. 1t cures
almost all diseases that result from insult
fcient. or improper nourishment of the
brain and nerves. Bronchial, throat, and
even lung affections when not too far ad-
vanced, readily yield to it.

When the curtain went up at the

play of THE Girl I Left Behind Me"
the auditorium was packed with people
and some 200 had been turned away
because unable to- secure seats. 1t was
the largest Monday night audience seen
IN the opera-house for years. The thrill

mounted with special scenery and was
played in fine spirit and with even ex-
cellence. George Osbourne and Miss
Foster in the leading roles and support
ed by an all around capable group of
people. There was no weak timber in
the support In fact, such was the even
merit of the actors, that to single out
any one for special commendation
would be to do injustice to all the 9TH
ers. As for the leaders Mr.. OSbourne is
so Well known as an accomplished art
lst that no approval of his methods now
would add to his we'll earned artistic
reputation Miss Foster made her first
appearance here. She is a strong emo
tlonal actress, reading in clear, firm
tones, with Intelligent comprehension of
the role assumed. She acts with vigor
and spirit and without studied attempts
for effect She created an excellent i'm
preston and received hearty plaudfts
from the audience. The people were
reused to such enthusiasm at the Close
of the third act that the curtain was
four times called up to enable Mr. Os-
bourne, Miss Foster and Mr.. Denithorre
to bow their acknowledgements for the
storms of applause and the cheers
which greeted a thrilling situation in
which they were the central figures.
In. fact as Sacramento audiences are
far from enthusiastic as rule, and as
dramatic people complain that they are
slow to applaud, last nights demonstra-

The story of Ponce.

Ponce is an old story to-day. In its
history is fairy tale which has the
merit of being true. In the years
when time went slower page lounged
through the leiSures of Ferdinand'S
court. He was young, impudent and
abOminably gOOd-lOoking. A princess
smiled and beckoneG. That was enough.
There and then he was sent to another
world, to better one, to the tropics
which Columbus had founded He
landed at BOriqueE. assisted with easy
gallantry in eliminating the natives.
assisted also in gathering the gold
which they left.
Meanwhile BOriquen had been chris
tened Porto Rico Incidently the page
had grown ola. Whether he regretted
his princess is prublematic. That he
missed his good Looks is clear. In an
effort to recover them he took a trip.
The story of FL Dorado had not yet
been told. But anO,her story, equally
if not more seductive, was current
then. 1t was to ,-e effect that some
where near by were the fountains OF
eternal youth. IL search of these
waters he sailed. The land which be
reached was so riclI in flowers that be
called it Florida. But of the waters
not a trace.
And yet. may il not be that the
legend of them typified fame. For it
was that which he did find. His name
was Ponce do Leon, md it was he who
founded Ponce.

When to Bow.

A young lady would be right in bow
ing to n gentleman by whom she had
been taken TO dinner.
She should bow to him on meeting
him again after au introduction by q
mutual friend
She should not bow il she has merely
talked when casually meeting at q
friends house. when no introduction
took place.
In England lady bows first.
Abroad this is reversed. and care
should be taken to follow the custom
which prevails.
Women generally bow to each other
simultaneously. but. as matter of
fact. a married lady should bow first
to an unmarried one; and lady OF
higher rank should take the initiative.
If a lady bowed to a gentleman OF
her acquaintance who was accom-
panied by a friend no acknowledge
ment need he made to the stranger:
though both men would raise their
hats.
