There is probably no country on the
American Continent where the life OF
the farmer carries with it that assur-

combination. Game abounds every

perfect amusement. A noted sports

says: There is one particular spot

water or on fat prairie. At the right
season of the year you can see black
lines and triangles cut sharply out
against the sky all round you. moving
very swiftly, and you begin to wonder
whether you have enough cartridges
to hold out. You can hear the prairie
chicken growing like barn-door fowls,
and little to the northeast Is bit
of marshy ground, cattle-poached and
dappled with cleaning pools, where
the snipe are nearly rs thick as mos

you to a farmhouse, where you can
buy the finest butter and the freshest
eggs for uncivilized prices.
A very short railway journey will
bring you to country full Of deer and
the lordly wapiti, the king Of the deer
tribe the world over, and down on the

moose will stand knee deep in water

down when the flies get bothering.
All day you breathe the wild free air

JAMES A. HERNE IS DEAD
Actor and Playwright Passes Away
at His Home.
ROSE FROM GROCERY CLERK
Story of Ear-y Struggles and Brilliant
Victory of n Man Distinguished In His
Chosen Profession-How He Made IA
Fortune.

New York, June flames A. Herne,
the actor and playwright, died at his
home at 79 Convent avenue, in this
city, at o'clock p. m, of pneumonia.
Although 1t was as dramatist that
Mr.. Herne's repute was the highest,
he had been an actor nearly twenty
years before he thought Of writing his
own plays. He was born at West
Troy, n. Y, in 1910, and of the sixty
one years since he passed forty upon
the stage Hearts of Oak" did not
come from his pen until 1873. His
education was of his own getting and
his training as an actor he received
upon the stage itself. Born in a cot
tage and obliged to begin work for
a living at an early age, he grew up
a healthy, energetic boy He was a
clerk in a grocery store when his
imagination rebelled at the surround
ings of village life His chance, when
1t did come, descended upon him in
his own village. An actor of the day,
Joe Webb, supported by small COM
pany and two ST. Bernard dogs, came
to West Troy to play THE Dog OF
Montargis," piece written about the
story OF Aubry de Montdidier, the
Peddler of Client. The actor who
should have played the part of Ma
caire failed to appear. Herne learned
OF the need of the manager for an
actor and volunteered. He not only
did not break down, but went through
the small role so creditably that he
was engaged to continue in it. That
was his beginning. He rose gradually.
After three seasons managing a New
York theater for James Fisk, Jr., Mr..
Herne went to San Francisco. Herne
wanted a play for himself, but he
could not. get one written. One day
when talking the problem over with
David Belasco the latter told him to
give up trying to find an outside play
wright and to construct the play him
self. He said he would be willing to
advise. The two set to work, Belasco
planning some OF the situations,
Herne polishing, fitting and writing.
The piece was finished, was named
Hearts of Oak" was given a trial
production by the stock company and
failed.
Herne determined that a production
of the piece should IL made IN Chica-
60 He tried to get : leading theater
and failed. The Grand opera house
was not then in existence, bnt on it's
site stood a small theater or music
hall, owned by John A. Hamlin. To
him the proposition for backing" the
play was made, aDd, as a venture, was
by him accepted. In the fa.l of 1879
the production was made. BY Thurs
day of the first week the little house
was turning away would-be auditors.
A fortune was made by Fir. Herne.
Shore Acres" was written in 1891.

A Blacksmith.s strange Experience.

Goodland, Kan, June 3.-N. +. AL
bertson, our leading blacksmith has
been a great sufferer from rheumatism.
He was SO bad that he could not sleep
for the great pain in his arms and
shoulders. He had been afflicted for
years, but lately he was SO mucn worse,
that he thought he would have to give
up his shop altogether.
Then a strange thing happened. A
friend of his recommended new
medicine called Dodd's Kidney Pills,
said to be cure for Rheumatism. He
commenced to use them, and at once
began to recover His pain has all left
him, and he is a well man today, and
entirely free from any symptom OF
Rheumatism.
To say that he Is thankful, is putting
it very mildly. He is delighted.
Dodds Kidney Pills deserve credit
for having cured this very severe and
almost hopeless case.
From recent reports, there does not
seem to be anything that they will not
cure, as very bad cases OF Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes, Dropsy rheumatism
and Heart Trouble, have been cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills, even after having
1een given up by our best doctors

GIRLS SOUL IN A PUPPY.
Sang ular Belief Of California woman
Recently Bereaved.

Mrs. M. Z. Halpruner OF Alameda.
Cal, believes that the soul OF her dead
daughter, Lillian May Halpruner.
dwells in the body Of little spitz dog
she possesses.
IL treat the dog as / would my own
child" says the mother with confident
affection, and she gives reasons for her
faith. A year ago, on her daughters
birthday, she had been told a snow
white SPITE pup was to be given her
by a neighbor. The white puppy ran
away from Mrs. Halprunner. In its
stead darted out and nestled to her
golden haired puppy. At once ! saw
my daughters gestures duplicated by
the dog, and, believer In reincarnatton

come back to be near me. The soul OF

just as Lillian did," declared Mrs. Hal

with just her motions, rolls his head
from side to side, and with a child's
happy sigh goes to sleep. Yes. l know
that my darling's soul dwells in his

Are You Affected.

Polcyholders of the defunct Citi-
zens Mutual Fire Insurance company,
of Jackson, are up in arms. The cause
of the excitement is an assessment by
Receiver f. c. Badgley of former pol
icyholders to the tune of nearly $780,
900, 1t developed that the liabilities
only amounted to Sis, 1000, and the
cause of the excessive assessment is
said to be the likelihood of the assess
ments of many stockholders proving
uncollectible. 1t is claimed that pol
icyholders are not liable beyond the
amount fixed in the premium note
signed by the applicant for insurance,
therefore the exhoritant assessment is
held to be illegal. The assessable pol
icyholders are scattered all over the
southern part of the state.

EAGLE AND BEAR ARE FIRM.

or i'm n ma.

Washington, June 4.-Neither Rus
STA nor the United States will detail
troops 10 garrison the posts to be es-
.ablished by the powers between Taku
and Pekin. Russia's determination to
refrain from maintaining troops upon
the territory of neighboring empire
is another indication OF her purpose to
pursue to the end the policy which she
originally adopted.
This policy is absolutely in line with
that OF the United States, and, in fact,
from what can be learned, it is the in
tention of Russia to act with this gov
eminent in future questions discussed
in Pekin. This attitude has given the
administration much satisfaction. The
points between Taku and Pekin which
will be 2arrisoned by the powers. os-
tenFibly TO maintain safe egress for
the foreign ministers In the capital,
e. have net been finally determined,
though Ii seems to be understood that
troops will be stationed at Yang Tsung
and at one other poiat near TieDtsln.
The size of The garrisons also remains
to be established.
