He Was Slow.

Lincoln used to be fond of telling a
story of a lawyer in Il western town
who desired the nomination for county
judge. on the morning preceding the
evening on which the county conven-
ton was TO nee. he applied TO the liv-
cry stable keeper in his village for a
horse and buggy in which to drive to
the county town. Ii miles distant,
where the convention was to be he'd.
"Give me the best and the fastest
horse you have, Sam" said he. $50 that
l viii have time to go around and see
the boys before the convention comes
in"
The liveryman, however, was sup
porting Il rival candidate and gave the
lawyer a horse that outwardly appear
ed perfect, but which broke down en-
tirely before half the journey was COM
pleted, so that when the candidate ar
rived the convention had adjourned
and his riva! had been nominated.
On his return to the stable late the
following afternoon. knowing that it
was useless TO resent the trick played
upon him, he said to the owner: Look
here. Smith, you must be training this
horse for the New York market You
expect TO sell him TO an undertaken for
n hearse horse, don't you? Well, it's
time wasted. l know from his gait
that you have spent days training him
TO pull hearse, but he'll prove a dead
failure. Why, he's so slow he couldn't
get Il corpse to the cemetery in time for
the resurrection"

Cheap substitutes of Foley's Honey

stitutes is molasses. A druggist who
would offer this cheap stuff to his
customers in lieu of Foley's Honey
and Tar can not be trusted. DO not
allow druggists to impose on you,
who for a little extra profit will en-
danger your health by offering you
cheap substitutes for Foley's Honey
and Tar. FOLEY & Co., Chicago.

FOOTLIGHT FLASHES.

The Hope Booth company, booked
for the melodramatic production,
War on Women" at Harper's thea
tire Sunday night, is not coming.
This is no surprise to those who fol-
low the events of the theatrical world,
to whom it was known some days ago
that the company in question had dis
banded. The Harper's theatre man
agement was so informed, with
the suggestion from The ARGUS
Office that it might be we'll to with
hold the advertisements until def
mite information was received. But
the sanguinary response was that the
company would come all right. Yes
terday advices of a different nature
came and another show was Substi'
tuted without explanation as far as
the local theatre is concerned.
Mrs. Fiske's production of Becky
Sharp was the most widely dis.
cussed stage feature of last season.
The appearance at the Burtis tonight
of this actress in this play will afford
theatre patrons an opportunity to
witness an event which for interest
based on the art of Mrs. Fiske and for
magniticence of presentation has sell
dom If ever been surpassed. In heI
wonderful character from Vanity
Fair" she fairly revels and is at her
best, and the play itself and its pro-
duction fit the art of the actress.
Sunday night, Dec. 80. the Murray
Comedy Company will present for the
first time at Harper's theatre Lincoln
j Carter's great comedy-drama en-
titled Just Before Dawn" with spec
ial scenery and effects. The prices
will be 10 20 and 80 cents. Seats at
