THE GREAT yAUDEyILLEs COMING.

Denison theatre goers that want.
the best will not miss w. S. Campbell's
Dramatic Vaudevilles that have been
booked for the oath of December at the
opera house. This is one of the best
feature entertainments now ON the
road. as judged from press clippings
and managers, all of whom make the
unanimous request, come again! The
w. S. Campbell Dramatic Vaudevilles
are one of the great attractions of the
season, and will be sure to grow in
favor from the opening to the close.
In addition to the vaudeville specialties
is the three act comedy play Aunt
Jerusha, one of the best before the A
merican foot lights, the leading role
of which is taken by Miss Jennie Wet
more O very clever and talented actress
who facinates her audience not only
with her acting but personal charms,
which has made Aunt Jerusha posi-
tive theatrical triumph, a matchless
production, presented by sparkling
soubrettes and clever comedians, in
which every act is feature and every
feature novelty. 1t is play that
produces not only laughter but tears,
I; the simple pathos of the story touches
the heart, but the grotesque humor of
the story overtakes every tear with a
smile, and every smile is followed by a
hearty laugh so tremendously are the
incidents blended. The characters are
so admirably drawn, SO real. so enter
tanning that you love them. you hate
them. you sympathiZe with them. you
laugh at them. you applaud them.
! The vaudeville features of the enter
tainment have more original ideas,
new songs, artistic dances than all
other vaudevilles that will appear be-
| fore the footlights this season. This
is the universal opinion of all show 60
ers who have had the good fortune to
see them, and why issit that Manager
w. S. Campbell is over run with oppor
tunities for booking by theatrical man
ayers all over the east. west and north.
The big attraction for the season is

villes at the opera house December "a.

A Queer Transaction.

"a casual observer might suppose
that our business was intensely pro-
saic," said Poydras street commits
sion merchant, but such is far from
being the case. All sorts of queer
things happen In 1t. not the least OF
which are occasional consignments we
receive from nowhere In particular.
"For instance, back In 1896 or there
about we got load Of fine onions one
day by boat. No directions accompa-
MED them, but we took it for granted
they would arrive by mail. When the
expected letter failed to put In an ap-
pearance and we instituted inquiries.
we could get no clew to the identity of
the shipper, and all we could do was to
sell the lot and deposit the money In
bank, waiting on a claimant.
Fully three years had elapsed when,
to my surprise, another load OF the
same kind of onions came to hand, ac-
companied by letter from the sender
saying that he had forwarded similar
consignment at such and such a date
and that his business relations with
the house had been so satisfactory he
wished to repeat the transaction. We
sent a check for the lump sum, but
what the dickens he meant by his bust
ness relations being satisfactory wher
he had had only one deal with us. and
didn't get his money on that, l never
found out. suppose he just forgot" "

After q Battle.

In the first aid that Is rendered on
the field after battle nothing Is at
tempted beyond the arrest of hemor-
rhage, the application Of temporary
splints for fractures and antlseptic
dressing. There Is no washing or eX-
ploration of wounds. The clothes are
merely slit up with scissors, not re-
moved, thus insuring protection to the
patients body and saving unnecessary
disturbances. The sergeant in charge
of the collection station has a field
companion. a warsr bottle and a small
reserve of bandages and first dress
ings In his care to replenish the sur
gical hayersacks with which the bear
ers are supplied.
Triangular bandages are chiefly used
ON the battlefield, made from SO inch
square Of linen or calico, cut diagonal
ly into halves. Almost anything that
comes to hand may be used, as impro-
vised splints-sticks, telegraph wire,
bark of trees, straw, rifles, bayonets,
lances and so on. The splint, II neces-
sary, Is padded with straw or leaves
or grass and is fastened with straps
torn from the soldiers equipment OF
with strips Of a shirt, securely bound
with the triangular bandage. Bound
up with the rifle splint, wounded
man Is made so secure that he car
hardly move a muscle. One leg Is
firmly bound to the rifle, and the an
kles are tied together, so that the In
| jured limb is almost as rigid as the
| rifle at its side.-London Standard.

A Cheerful Liar.

II have followed trout streams ever
since was a boy" said a Providence
crank, land have tried to solve for
many years the cause of the apparent
decrease In brook trout. Recently
think discovered the cause Of the ex-
termination. was fishing along a
brook near Oakland Beach, r. l., when
l saw a large snake with half masti-
Gated trout In Its mouth. The action
of the snake interested me, and, stand
ing quiet, studied the snake closely.
ION the end of the snakes tail was a
sharp bony growth shaped like hook.
After few moments my watching
was rewarded by seeing the snake
glide over to some bushes growing
along the bank and catch grasshop-
per In its mouth. The snake then
placed the grasshopper carefully on
the hooklike thing on the end Of Its
tail.
"By this time my curiosity was thor
oughly aroused" continued the fisher
man. THE snake crawled up on log
that extended from the bank Into the
brook and let its tail hang into the wa
ter. In moment up came a trout
and snapped at the grasshopper. 1t
was short work for the snake to trans
fer the fish from Its tail to Its mouth,
and had solved the problem Of the ex-
termination of brook trout."-Cleye-

Mnkeshift wedding Rings.

Curious instances have been cited
where makeshift substitutes for the
conventional wedding ring have been
utilized during the marriage ceremony.
One such instance occurred some time
ago in a nearby town, where the ring
was missing Nothing better being
available as a substitute, a curtain
ring was used, and on still another oc-
casion the ring handle of the church
key was utilized. A couple In this state
used In such an emergency a ring
formed from the outer edge OF a coin
and which had been carried by some
one present as u curiosity.
A gallant best man came to tie res
cue at recent wedding, when the ring
was not forthcoming at the right time.
He drew from his tie the slender stick
pin that had been adjoining 1t, and,
bending the wire into ring shape, hand
ed the improvised wedding ring to the
distracted groom.
A horseshoe nail bent to the shape of
a ring is said to bring great deal OF
luck to the owner, and the lead cramp
ring worn six centuries ago has given
place to various rings now worn to
prevent and cure administrations

AS you walk by the hedgeside a
strange noise suddenly arrests your at
tention. 1t Is the buzz Of an insect,
but loud enough to startle you. 1t
might be mistaken for the Keeling of a
night jar, but 1t is perhaps more like
the Earring hum of tasty driven mo-
tor ear
The reason of the noise Is that the
beetle has with great pains climbed up
a certain height from the ground, and
In order to ascertain whether he has
got far enough. he erects himself on
his stand. lifts his wing cases. shakes
out his wings and begins to agitate
them violently. turning this way and
that to make sure that he has clear
space.
III he then attempts to f1y-it Is one
Of his common blunders-he instantly
strikes against some branch or cluster
Of leaves and Is thrown down. The
tumble does not hurt him In the least,
but so greatly astOnishes him that he
remains motionless good while; then.
recovering his senses. he begins to as
cend again. At length, after good
many accidents and adventures by the
way. he gets on to the topmost twig.
and. after some buzzlng to get up
steam. launches himself heavily ON the
air and goes away in grand style

Looking Out For Alma Mater.

No doubt the casual observer has of.
ten noticed how increasingly requests
flow into the treasures Of certain unl-
versities. but he may not know that
the alumni Of those institutions, partic-
ularly the lawyers, have 1t always on
their minds to secure, or ut least 10
suggest, requests.
One of these men. a prominent cor
poration lawyer Of this city, was speak.
ing of the custom the other day. He
explained that II lawyer. and his client
usually sit down to talk over the gen
eral subject of will. If the client has
more than enough money to meet the
actual needs of Ills family. he common
~ says something of charitable or edu-
cational institutions, generally In a
vague way. which makes IL quite nat.
L nj for his lawyer to suggest as a def
ilitp object his own alma mater The
lawyer referred to had himself secured
several BeqLests. one Of them for the
sum Of 500 900. But" said he. smil-
ing. "a young lawyer In my office has
just cut me out of 100000, which he
put In a will for his own alma mater.
II wa3 n very good stroke on his part,
the more so because our respective uni
versities have been bitter athletic ~
