REBELLIOUS SUSAN
Is WELL PLAYED

The Case OF Rebellious Susan" had
been picked out by many of the theater-
goers as a bill not to be missed. and they
were not disappointed. The piece was
staged beautifully, the last act with the
wind and rain one Of the prettiest and
most realistic settings yet achieved. The
eostuming was elaborate and thoroughly
up TO date.
Mr. NeIPs performance throughout
was well conceived. II possible a trihe
too repressed IN the strongest scenes.
Miss Chapman was excellent throughout
the impetuous. lovable woman. her scene
with her husband (MavVicars), in the
last act being especially effective.
Mr.. HacVicars, In anything but
SNOWY role. was at his best. With Lady
Susan In the last act, his work was
piece of artistic characterization, show
ing Itself In pantomime as fully as in the
spoken lines.
Miss Dean made a winsome widow, her
fencing with Cato in the last act being
very clever. Miss Andrews. with little
to do. needs no criticism BIoomquest
in an exaggerated, almost impossible
role. was acceptably funny, showing, in
deed. rather clearly that his best lies in
the line OF eccentric comedy. Mr.. Bur
ton was thoroughly en- rapport with his
audience In role somewhat similar to
last night. Scott Seaton furnished a
very nice little piece Of acting.
Miss Brownell, as the new woman, fur
nished strong work. while not dressing
the character as strongly as it has been
elsewhere portrayed.
The play itself is admirable In contin-
uity and language, and one of the prizes
OF the repertoire. Tonight Under Two
Flags" with it's somewhat melodramatic
scenes. has already nearly packed the
house.

HEALTH PILLS
A Boon to People Living
in Tropical Countries.

No white people are natives
OF tropical countries. Many
physicians claim the tropics un-
suitable for the white race.
Why? Because the climate is
enervating. You get run down,
the liver becomes sluggish, the
blood is impoverished, boils and
pimples break out, you are ner-
vous and irritable, and a gen.
eral feeling of being "out OF
Sorts"
Putnam's Health Pills are
made especially for this class
of ailment. They wake up a
sluggish liver; they make rich
red blood; they remove that
Ianguid feeling, and tone up the
whole system. There isn't the
least question of their being the
best tonic pill in the world. If
they don't benefit you, your
money back. Therefore. with
such a guarantee, why delay the
treatment? Get them today
and receive the benefit they Will
afford at once.

COUNT Won BuELows DOCTRINE

The chancellor of Germany, Count Bueow. had this
to say in December 1892
I'VE cannot allow any foreign power whatever to say
US The world is already disposed Of We shall allow
foreign power thrust aside whether in trade
in politics. We also have right to a Greater
Germany"
this policy Germany has voted to complete
frscass battleshps by 1916 We have only II SUCH
counting those just begun.
Won Bueow seems to say to the Monroe doctrine Put
up or shut up"
Nor is Germany alone Italy nine frst-class and
batteships and the third of the triple
alliance Ausraungarys is equal to SPANS before the
war Admiral Canevaro formerly Ialys minister of for
egn affairs and Count Goluchowsk Austrian foreign min
lister, have made equally hostile utteranees against
America since Won Buelow's.
A equallng the amount spend in pensions in
two years added to present naval expenditure would
make navy equal those Of the three strongest
European naval powers combined.
An ounce of prevention is worth pound Of cure If
German army of 100000 should land in North
South America under protection of overwhelming fleet
would cost billions in and hundreds of thousands
of lives expel it. It is well for Americans to think of
these things whatever may be thought general prn-
cDles of expanding navy too rapidly

She taught me to lisp my earliest prayer,
AS knelt beside that old armchair.

When her eve grew dim and her locks

And turned from her Bible to bless her

When I saw her die In that old arm

TIE queen was about 10 marry the
Grand Duke Paul. The day before the
wedding a rival for the dukes love. In
black cloak and yelled, requested a
private interview. Once alone with the
queen she held a perfumed handkerchief
TO her majesty's face, who sank down
| unconscious. Then the woman taking of
her black cloak disclosed q costume al
most exactly similar to that worn by
the queen
Then she placed her black cloak round
| the sleeping figure and drew the curtains
which were on each side Of the sofa for
ward in such a manner that the queen
was concealed from view.
She entered the gallery There was no
one in sight Quick as thought she had
! closed and locked the door. placing the
key in her pocket.
There was a step behind her.
Madam,
1t was the chief lady in waiting.
.sYes2"
Your majesty was TO drive"
"Ah. true"
And then there is the banquet to-
night"
The dav passed smoothly, for Madam
Scarva was always by the side of the
false queen. Sometimes she was plainly
surprised at the sovereign's absent
mindedness. but this she attributed 10
the preoccupation inevitable TO the con-
ditions.
Later the queen found herself alone in
her private houdoir, while the door OF
the serre led out into an old-fashioned
garden. She beckoned TO Madam Scarva.
The TWO young women walked out on
TO the soft turf OF the garden. The
queen paused 10 admire the night.
Tomorrow your majesty will be hap
pier still"
Shall I?'' came the remark.
Your majesty does wrong to doubt"
They walked on in silence for few
minutes. till Nine. Scarva exclaimed sud
denly. Shall we go to the arbor?"
What arbor?"
Your majesty cannot have forgotten"
Queens are allowed to have short
memories 1 have forgotten"
Nine. Scarva looked intently at the
speaker.
You are not the queenr' she exclaimed
eXcitedly And she started TO hasten back
20 the palace But the other was too
quick and seized her by the arm, fore
ing her knees on the grass.
Nine. Scarva struggled to free herself
and then called out, Help, help!'
Mad fool" exclaimed the other and,
quick as thought. she drew a small Ital-
ian dagger and stabbed the lady-in-wait-
ing TO the heart.
The murderess pushed the body over
the marble edge of the lake, and il dis
appeared silently under the leaves OF the
water lilies.
Then she passed softly to her own pri-
vate apartments, stopping on the way TO
address a word to a lady who seemed
to be waiting for orders.
''Ah, apropos, madam, you will attend
me tonight"
yes, your majesty"
Nine. Scarva has been called away"
