The Pur nit of Fame Ia a Long, Tedi.
Gus Chase.
Fame is thing, frequently, Of slow
achievement. The excellence Of an
actor must be repeatedly declared and
most positively asserted before the
public in general can be brought to
consider him seriously, no matter how
seriously he may take himself; and,
though he may have come to some
thing of a safe place in the esteem of a
few, the wavering majority are so re-
luctantly brought to the door Of the
theater that, like Irving or Jefferson,
the players hair may have grown gray
before the skeptical nobodies deign to
bestow upon him their begrudged ap-
probation.
Cibber, you know, pronounced Gar
rick well enough" and FOote rounded
out things with the malicious remark
that the hound" had something in
him, "but if his excellence" he as ek-
pressed it, was to be examined, he
would not be found in any part equal
to Colley Cibber's Sir John Brute, Lard
Foppington, Sir COurtly Nice or Justice
Shallow" This was when Garrick
was young, and, according to Ponds
portrait, a very handsome fellow, his
years not more than %, and his beauty
such as to have attracted the envy of
the idols Of the town. Foote'S COMPARE
son was made, not out of any Justice to
Cibber, whom he did not like, but SIM
ply through ill-will to Garrick, whose
rising influence he feared.
Roscius, it is said, had squirt in his
eye, and Churchill, with others, found
fault with Garrick's littleness of person.
and laughed at his airs and ridiculed
his pretentions. Quinn was a better
Falstaff than Garrick was Lear, said
this determined detractor, and "old
Johnson far more natural In every
thing he attempted. So, to follow Hor-
aces description, Mrs. Porter sur
passed him in passionate tragedy, Glib
Der and O'Brien were beyond his reach
as coxcombs and men of fashion, Mrs.
Give more perfect in low comedy, and
yet Ranger, he admitted, was the part
that suited Garrick better than any
thing he had ever performed. He was,
II Walpole is to be believed, a poor Lo-
thario, ridiculous Othello, inferior to
Quinn in Sir John Brute and Macbeth
and to Cibber in Bayes, and a woeful
Lord Hastings and Lord Townley. The
town, according to this distinguished
critic, did not like him in "Hotspur,"
and yet he said, 81 don't know IL he did
not succeed In 1t beyond all the rest"
Il saw King Lear the last time he
played it," continues Sir Horace. land

Her Antelope.

Stalking antelope among the Rockies
may have it's humorous as well as its
thrilling side. Says Mrs. Seton Thomp-
son, in "A Woman Tenderfoot:"
We tied our horses on a dizzy height,
and stole, Nimrod with a carbine,
with rifle, along treacherOus shay
bank which ended twenty feet below
in the steep, rocky bluffs that formed
the face of the cliff
A misstep would have sent us flying,
but did not think of that. My only
care was to avoid startling the shy,
deet-footed creatures we pursued. I
hardly dared to breathe. Every muscle
and nerve was strained with long sus-
pense.
Suddenly 1 clutched Nimrod's arm,
and pointed at an OblOng, tan-colored
bulk fifty yards above us on the noun.

GOT RID OF THE TARANTULA.

Expire - Messenger Took the Best Means
of Dis posing Of 1t.
A young man wearing a seersucker
coat and with big beads Of perspiration
on his face came into the smoking car
of an Erie railway train as 1t was get
ting along toward the meadows Of Or
anse County the other day. He was
an express messenger.
1--we bagged something" he exclaim-
ed. Can anyone tell me what kind OF
a pup it is?'
A big man, with long whiskers and
hair and a cowboys hat, who was
smoking strong plug tobacco in clay
pipe, said:
"Lemme see it."
The young man held the dinner buck
ct at arms length and raised the Id.
The big man looked into the bucket.
"A t'rantuly, by cedar" he said. and
took the bucket from the young man.

chap is. And beauty, tOo!
The big fat man got out Of his seat
and passed the dinner pail around
among the passengers. 1t was nearly
half full of something that seemed to
be all hair and claws and eyes. No one
seemed pleased with the sight except
the big man. 1t was tarantula sure
enough.
\ unanimous request was made by
the rest Of the passengers that the hid

deadly thing with undisturbed interest.

asked the express messenger.

dinner bucket and shut him In. What
is he good for?"

is about the only thing that kin tackle
one o these chaps and make a success
of it,"
The bag man handed the dinner buck
ct to its owner, who took it and carried
it away. When the train left the next
station he came in and said that the
train had met the tarantula, and that

Work and Worry

Wreck the Health Of Many n House.
wife-The Story Of One WOman's
Trials and How She Over
came Them.
From the Post, Columbia City, Ind.
The every day drudgery of the house
wife is extremely wearing upon her
sensitive and frail nature.
Many are prematurely broken down
in health. their cherished hopes blasted.
their home-life unhappy. because OF
the constant care and worry Of house
work.
That home is indeed fortunate in
which the wife is in perfect health and
able to do her own work, in fact such
home is rarity.
Mrs. George Heaton, who lives near
Columbia City, Ind, says:
During ths early part of the winter
of 1896 We had great deal of sick
ness in the family, and it being impos-
sible to find suitable girl to do my
homework, had to do considerable
extra. My daughter and two sons
were confined to their beds with the
grip.

was attacked with sciatic rheumatism.
At first did not give much heed to it.

and in the course of two or three
months was unable to do any work.
By this time my daughter had recov-
cred sufficiently to get along very we'll
with the homework.
Zone night my husband was gone
from home over night on business, and.
my daughter being overburdened with
work, concluded to milk the cows.
which did much against her wishes.
My limbs were so badly affected that

my hands and fingers were in such a
condition that it was with great diff

and was confined to my bed for more
than ten weeks.

body panied me, and my condition was
critical one. The ply sican failed to
benefit me, and became discouraged

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
c3mote ancestor. for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant In the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance-or q swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
aently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
II 1t driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
b the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
q the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows |:
A small ptmpie came on my Jaw about an inch
below the ear on the left side OF my face. 1t gave

Calculator with Two Brains.

A man with two brains is surely a
novelty, yet DR.. Charcot, the French
specialist, inclines to the idea that
Mandi, the lightning calculator and hui
man monograph, is so blessed. This
phenomenon made his first appearance
at the Paris hippodrome, and he is
certainly a new attraction to the al
ready big list of 'stars" at that house.
His memory for figures is mainly audi
tive. One Of his feats is the addition
of six lines of six figures, multiplied
ton Of six figures by six figures. the
division Of six figures by five figures
and the extraction of the square and
cube roots of five figures all at once.

Curious Hawaiian Cave.

A curious cave has been discovered
two miles from Hilo, Hawaii. The
cave runs toward the mountain in the
form of tunnel. Down the middle of
the cave is q ditch that looks like the
bed Of an ancient stream. This chan
mel is about three feet deep and four
feet wide, with evenly worn sides,
forming two benches. On one of these
benches was found the skeleton of a
woman, in sitting posture.

Black Diamonds Valuable.

Black diamonds are comparatively
rare and colrespondingly high priced.
They are three OF four times as hard as
the white ones and fire cannot harm
them. however great the heat, but if a
drop of water should touch them while
heated they will explode, and leave
nothing but little heap of sand in
their place.

only to advise the telephone admins
