"LlFE A BURDEN"

DR.. Radway-Dear Sir: For a long time
past i have been suffering In the most dis
tressins manner from long train of symp-
toms which have baffed the skill of all the
medical men down here, and which I feared,
IL not arrested in their progress, would ter
inmate In the total prostration Of my
strength. Loss of appetite and desire of
stimulating and artificial means of susten-
ance at irregular times, want of healthy
sleep and consequent depression on arising
in the morning rendered life quite burden
j. me. until friend induced me to try your
medicine. So I got a bottle of Radways's
Sarsaparillian and box Of Railways Pills
and took them according to directions. I
soon found relief. I got three boxes and
three bottles more and am better in health
than ever before. I remain your humble
servant

1.-THE Little Minister" beautiful, heart

NJ. Barrie it's author, has successfully
transferred to the stage, will be presented
by Charles Frohman's company at O'Bri-

a true little heart, is It's heroine, and the
play presents her as ii she had just stepped
out of the pages of the novel. AN the
quaint and picturesque characteristics of
the Thrums elders and their associates are
preserved In the mimic panorama of Scotch
life, and the Little Minister is the verita-
BILE ordained young gentleman himself, as
interesting and sentimental as Lady Bah
bic" found him. The story will be artisti-
cally presented by the organization which
Mr.. Frohman has assembled in the cast,
and their performance will make clear at
once why the comedy has been such a
phenomenal favorite.
The first scene of 1.-THE Little Minister Is
Caddam Woods, where Lady Babbie," In
a red gown, with roam berries in hen hair,
surprises Gavin Dishart, "the little minis
ter" There has been trouble between the
weavers of the town and the soldiers, and
a signal of warning has been agreed upon
which will appGise the offending commune
ty of the approach of the redcoats. The
signal is the blowing of horn. "Babbie''
gets the little minister ITO blow the horn,
and then follows the conflict with the sol
diers, in which "Babbie" figures on one
side and Gavin on the other After the
fight Babbie, hooded and cloaked, passes
through the line of soldiers, announcing
herself as the little minister's wife, and he
offering no word of denial. Thus she makes
her escape, in spite of a great desire to
that end.
Next we see Lady Babbie and the minis
ter in old Nannie's cottage, whittier Gavin
has gone a mission. There is tea drink
ing and considerable discussion, during
which 1t becomes evident to Babbie and the
others that the minister ia In love with her.
Later on. when Gavin should be at prayer
meeting, he is found following the gypsy
girl around, and they have further dove
scenes, not, however, before the fact be-
comes plain that Gavin's parshioners are
not favorable to Bar5bfe, and that some OF
them are very sore at heart because their
minister pays attention to the girl, and Is
evidently making fool of himself for her.
The third act takes the lovers and all
concerned to Lord Rintouls castle. There
Lady Babbie is revealed In her real charac-
ter as the fine lady. The minister's sur
prise is great, for he has thought Babbie a
gypsy girl The pair declare their love, and
the fathers consent to a marriage is ask
ed. But he has other plans for his daugh-
ter; he wants her to wed somebody else,
An interesting dramatic situation ensues
here, and the curtain falls on Lady Babbie
insisting that Gavin shall acknowledge her
to ibe his wife, he did that night In Cad
dam Woods to the soldiers. The last act
is said to be full of surprises.

Mansfield has made "Cyrano de Bergerac'
the hit of the season. The story is known
almost by heart. It's exquisite literary

OF AN the reasons which account for the
success of the play this last is the best
1t is at least reassuring to see play sue
coed which panders not to the prurient
taste. Ones faith in the ultimate triumph
of the pure and noble is revived when Cy-
rano succeeds. 1t is no small thing that out
of the unhealthy atmosphere of Paris there
has come a drama which sounds the key
note of unselfish devotion, and that such a
story takes a masterful hold upon the
American people.

If it is the purpose Of the United
States government to retain permanent
possession of the Philippine Island;
there can be no doubt that Lieutenant
liobson's suggestion, in regard to es-
tablishing a dry dock and shipyard at
Manila, is an excellent one. With It's
increased commercial Importance there
would be abundant room for Il sh!pyard
at Manila; in fact. it would be :, ncces-
sity. 1t would be practically obligatory
upon the government to maintain Il ma

ion is made for repairing and overhaul

TO depend on John Bull for repairs to
the vessels injured in the East. Under
some circumstances that might be cx-

Who Knows Him?

Marshal Shorno is in receipt OF a
letter from Mrs. n. B. Flatt of Helena
Mont, asking for information as to
the whereabouts OF her I7-year-old
son who left home about month ago.
She received letter from him dated
Sept. IA, with Ritzville postmark,
and supposing he was here, answered
the letter; but it was returned and the
lady is very uneasy about the lad who
is not very strong and has never been
away from home before. His name is
Arthur Gallagher, but he goes by his
step-father's name-Flatt.
In writing to his mother, he said
his address was Goldville, but it is
quite probable that Colville was meant
and that the letter was handed to
some one in the country who mailed
it here. Whatever the case, any in
formation will be gratefully received
by his mother.
