IT MADE A DIFFERENCE.
Dramatic Critics Did Not
Agree.

From the Daily Grind, May 8, 1899, re.
lated by the Indianapolis Press: Miss
Violet Florida Waters, in the amateur per-
last night displayed an ability and a marvel.
Gus command OF stage technique that many
q professional might envy. 1t is safe to pre-
dict for this gifted youpng lady that if she
ever choose to adopt the stage as a career
ones in dramatic history"
From the Daily Grind, May IL, 1900:
"The Plugalong repertoire company opened
at the opera house last night in Camille
Seldom has the dear old chestnut been so
badly done-the worst offender being Violet
Florida Waters, who punched holes in the
title role and frazzled its edges in a manner
that plainly showed her to need years and
years of training before she will be fit to be
anything better than a back row ornamen
in an amateur show-let alone scale the
proud heights of the drama at ten-twent.

HE MISSED THE MOTIVE.
vAs Speaker Thought II Was His Own
Genius That Held the
Child.

This is a story which Representative Eddy,
Of Minnesota, tells on himself. Mr.. Eddy
not only enjoys the situation when the laugh
is turned against him, but has a sense of HUI
NOR which leads him to start the laugh some
times himself:
I'm making the campaign in my district
one year." said Mr.. Eddy, ~ took along as
an attraction a veteran of the war of 1872
end of the civil war who was a famous hand
at beating the drum. He was a drummer
from away back and could arouse a whole
township. Drum music is an incendiary
kind of thing, anyhow, and the old captains
drumming was particularly stirring.
, well, one night, after the captains drum
had given the usual overture, | commenced
my speech to the populace which had been
lured to the scene by his drum. l noticed
at the foot of the rostrum, the same being
a big dry goods box, a bright-eyed little
fellow about IL years old, who sat through
the speech, following me with great atten-
ton. 1t pleased me very much. Any fool
can interest an audience of adults, but it
takes a genius to hold a child.
so, after the speaking, ! went down and
spoke to the little fellow, and after shaking
hands with him asked him how he liked my
speech.
ooh, it will do he said; but if 1 was
you l would keep the captain drummin' all
the time Washington Star.

Wire Protection for Wounds.

In the treatment OF surface wounds
DR.. Reid proposes the use Of wire
cage to be placed over the wound to
keep the dressing from coming In
actual contact with the raw surface,
thus affOrding sufficient protection and
preventing irritation OF the wound
from the lint or gauzc touching tho
granulating tissue and acting as for
cign body. II is important In this
method OF treatment that the wound
surface be frequently Clcanscd to pre-
vent crustIng OF the discharges, and
for the same purpose the wire cage Is
covered with wet lint and water proof
tissue, Tho advantages OF this method
arc tho abolishmont OF the irritation
Of n foreign body. the wound Is quick
ly. easily and painlcssly dressed, tho
method Is Ideally asceptic, and the
wound heals with remarkable quick
noss.--Pittsburg Dispatch.

The ST. LOnis RepnbliC.

The following is from the Pike
County Post, and points the situa-
ton as We see it exactly.
The friends of Hon. d. \. Ball
are very justly iudig IA It At the i'm
proper and unfair course of the st.
Louis Republic in its recent deter
mined efforts to boost MIR. Dock
cry in the race for the Democratic
nomination for governor Of Mis-
sour. 1t is held that the Rcpub-
lie. posing as the leading Demo
cratic newpapcr of the State, and
drawing its support from all class
eS of Democrats, has no right to
take sides between candidates for
nomination ON the Democratic
ticket. Its proper course would
be to give all candidates Il fair
show in the primary race and. when
the nominations have been made.
