AT the White Horse Tavern. .

The sign of the White Horse will be
put up over the door of Larson's theatre
next Monday and the White Horse Tav-
ern will be open to receive guests under
the direction of King & Norcross. The
bill of fare will be of such variety and
quality that the tastes of all will be
pleased from the stalls to the gallery.
The merits OF this excellent hosiery
have been noised abroad through the
land, and though the good things have a
Transatlantic flavor, all who have sat
down to the feast, at various times-and
they number thousands in nearly all OF
the large cities-have commended the
charming hostess and gone away speak
ing the praises OF her quaint and enter
tanning guests.
"At the White Horse Tavern" is the
title of the English version of I'm Weis-
sen Roess'l, a bright and mirthful COM
edy, which ran for over year in Berlin.
1t was played at Wallack's, New York,
for nearly twelve weeks. Incessant
laughter greeted its production from the
start, and New Workers agreed in calling
it the best comedy OF the decade. Then
Chicago, Boston, Washington, Philadel-
phia, Buffalo, Cleveland, st. Louis, etc,
followed suit 1t affords entertainment
for all classes of theatre goers, because
OF its quaint humor and sentiment, and
for the thoroughly natural and whole
some complications which it evolves
from simple, domestic themes. An inn
in the Alps with a bright eyed buxom
widow a. its hostess is the scene of sew
eral romances among tourists who flock
to this secluded Alpine summer retreat
The head waiter OF the inn also takes a
hand in the love making, by casting
longing eyes on his mistress. So does a
rich Berliner, who, however, confines
himself to making suitable match for
his daughter. Then delightful old pro-
fessor, his lisping daughter and her bald
headed lover add to the mirth, which is
heightened by the scenes between the
wealthy Berliner and love-sick lawyer
from the same city. For distinct and
lovable character types, delicate senti-
ment, brisk humor, and pretty scenery
the comedy is said to be in a class all by
itself. Frank NJ Norcross who has a
widespread reputation as a character ac-
tor and comedian will appear as the
head waiter, and Minerva Dorr as the
hostess of the tavern. This strong at
traction will win the usual big house

PHYSICIANS MUCH INTER
ESTED.

Northport, Mich, Dec. 9.-The med
ical men are just now eagerly dis
cussing q most remarkable cure of a
severe case of Kidney Disease in this
county. Mr.. Byron o. Leslie, of
Northport, has for years been a vic
tim of Kidney arrangements with all
the consequent pain and annoyance.
He was gradually growing worse and
as the disease advanced he became
very respondent, often wondering if
he would have to endure this suffer
ing all his lifetime.
But at last he found q remedy that
cured him in Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
was much pleased, but did not say
much about it lest the good effect he
experienced would not last. Now,
however, after months of continued
good health he has concluded that he
is permanently cured, and his an
nouncement of this has caused a pro-
found sensation among the physi-
clans and the people who knew of his
apparently hopeless condition.

QUAIL ON TOAST IN THE ROUGH
B1ackirds in the Crate, But They
Were Destined to Serve
Higher Purpose

Number 131 was conveying an UNI
usual load. About 60 shallow crates,
mere skeleton boxes made of elm la tbs,
were piled one on top of the other and
al securely dashed to the body of the
dray, says the New York Times.
Out between the Stats protruded
heads that c.ucked and cackled and
Kissed and chartered as the heavy ve-
hicle numbered over the holes of East
Seventeenth street, says the New York
Times.
The ducks and geese in the large
crates at the bottom put themselves on
record volub.y as strenuously opposed
to the motion. The hens and chickens
above encored the opposition to fowl.
The meek-looking pigeons at the top
simply gazed around and wobbled
piteous.y as the great pile lurched into
a rift in the roadbed. Theirs was the
dumb pantomime of protest.
The drayman pulled up al the corner
of Third avenue to allay his thirst, and
a small coterie of the curious gathered
about the load. A little girl in a red
shawl started the fun when she spied
a crate of small dark birds up among
the pigeons.
Say, Bill, what's them?" she asked
of a lounger who stood by smoking
pipe.
Dunno" answered he Of the dusky
brier.

archy was convincing. Certainly they

Just how much glass and china q

wEBsTER'S PLEA.
Before the bar of the Famous
Lawyer.

Soon after Daniel Webster came to
the bar, he was retained in a suit be-
tween two neighbors, says the Green
Bag. 1t seemed that they had got to
loggerheads about disputed line, out
of which had grown trespass suits and
all sorts of controversies, and that the
more malicious and artful of the two
had so piled the other with law in one
shape or another that he had nearly
ruined him. The latter at last became
aroused and brought an action against
the other for malicious prosecution,
and retained Mr.. Webster to manage

A PUBLIC NUISANCE.
One OF Those Old Women Who Are
Always PokinE Into other
Peoples Affairs.

The old lady was shrill of voice and
garrulous OF nature, and she drew the
attention of the other passengers in
Sixth avenue elevated train TO the
young woman who was sitting beside
her. The young woman was accom-
pa MED by two small, children. The cd
woman grinned ingra tiatingly several
times at the children, who gave her no
encouragement, relates the New York
Tribune. After awhile she turned to
the young woman and asked in a voice
that attracted the attention of the
other passengers:
What nice little children! How old
are they, dear?"
Some quiet response by the little
woman.
Whats that? 1 don't hear very
well?"
The young woman raised her voice
as she blushed because of the atten-
ton of the other passengers:
"One is three years and the other is
| two"
my! Are they sisters?"
"They are brother and sister"
(Which one is the older, the boy or
the grip"
"The boy"
"Wel, well! How many months are
there between them?"
The young woman seemed much an.
noyed, and answered, shortly:
Fifteen"
Indeed! Are you their sister?'
"No"
By this time everybody in the car
was looking, and some pitied the young
woman, whose face was flushed at the
| personal questions, but were obliged
| to smile at the persistence of the
older one.
Perhaps their cousin or their aunt ?'
she hazarded "No? But you are not
| their mother, are your"
There came a decided nod from the
| little woman as she turned her face
away from her cross-questioner.
"You are? Well, wei! And how
long have you been rarried? You are
only girl yourself. Too young to have
two such big children"
The train drew up at station just
then, and the young woman gathered
her children together as she answered,
with snap Of her big brown eyes:
1--WE been married long enough to
attend to my own business. Have you
been married as long as that?" and
she swept out of the car to wait on the
| platform for another train that would
not contain such an unwelcome ques-
| toner.
WELL" said the old woman, as the
train started again. 81 wonder what
was the matter with that girl, She

clear and convincing, and it was evil

him, closed as follows: s.In a word.

Mythology In Kansas.

Some one in Kanscs proposed that q
statue of Ceres be placed on the dome of the
new statehouse, but now he wishes he
hadn't made the proposition, remarked the
exchange editor, as he laid down a Kansas
paper.
What's the objection" asked the tele-
graph editor.
1T is urged that no one in Kansas knows
the lady, and that she probably was an ac-
tress, anyhow. 1t is the opinion that the
figure of Chief Fewclothes, an Indian, would
DE more appropriate as an ornament TO the
dome of the Kansas statehouse"
We'll, l should think that a statue of
Chief Fewclothes would be a nude depar-
ture, at any rate."-Pittsburg Gazette.
