lures, working without intermission day
and night. When one felt the need Of
sleep he lay on couch, holding in his
hand a ball, beneath which, on the
floor, was a brazen bowl. When his
muscles relaxed sufficiently to release
the ball, it fell into the bowl and the
noise wakened the sleeper who resumed
his work.
But it is one thing to give up sleep
and another thing altogether to be
unable to sleep. Those who suffer
from asthma, bronchitis and other dis
eases of the organs OF respiration are
only too familiar with this enforced
wakefulness They would give almost
anything for nights unbroken rest.
THE SECRET OF SLEEP
for them lies in the cure of the diseases
which Danish slumber. That this cure
is possible is abundantly proven by
those who have used Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery for the cure
Of bronchitis, obstinate and deep-seated
coughs, lung "trouble" and other dis
eases Of the organs of respiration.

made a perfect and permanent cure.

as dangerous as they are offensive.

Edgar SaItus contributes to the Theater
for November, an article entitled "Our
American Dramatists, an Apology" in
which he presents some truths in his usual
forcible style. Mr.. Saltus declares that the
writer's for our stage lack virility, argues
that America has not yet produced
dramatist of the first rank, and that none
of those now before the public gives evil
dence of real creative power. He insists
that it is owing to this dearth Of strong
dramatic fare that a large class of Ameri-
cans keep aloof from the playhouse. He
also accuses our dramatists of pilfering
wholesale, blaming them little for this, see
ing that they merely follow in the footsteps
of Shakespeare and Moliere, but finding
fault because they fail to embellish what
they take. Another illustrated article gives
an interesting account of some of the ia
vorite players of the Pacific coast. The pic
torial features of this issue are fully up to
the standard set by the Theater. All the
latest important productions are featured,
from Miranda of the Balcony" IF i Were
King" THE Little Duchess" THE Auc-
tioneer," Liberty Bellies" etc. The por-
traits are numerous and finely executed
and include Mrs. Fiske, Louis James
Maude Adams, in her new play, Charles
Hawtrey, Cecilia Lotus, David Warfield
and Lulu CHASER, as Dolly Warden.

A Washington dispatch tells of a profess
sional astrologer who lately applied for an
appointment in the secret-serVice bureau,
averring that he could cast horoscopes of
public men which would disclose before
hand when perils were about TO beset them
so that extra precautions could be taken
for President Mckinley the police could
have been warned of danger at Buffalo.
He did not get job, but his applica ton
country paper in New York State on Aug
~. 1t was apparently the work of a local
astrologer. FOrecasting for September. he
noted that the planet Mars came in con-
junction with Hereschel during September
and went on TO say: About the middle of
the month there is likely to be some bad
news TO be recorded daily. About
the fourteenth we are likely to hear of
war and much blOodshed, as this great
destroyer of man and nations Giars) is not
likely to pass this point without making
some bad movements by man. About this
time, also. there is one Of the Christian
nations which will be badly upset" He
went on with remarks about the steel
strike, but, winding up, reverted to astrol-
Ogy with the prediction The sudden
dropping out OF A king or emperor may be
looked for at this time" If the almanac
makers or the astrologers or other author
tiles really figured out from planetary
movements that there was trouble due
about the fourteenth, they made a very
respectable bluff at prophecy. 1t will be
recalled that that was the day OF Presi-
dent McKinleys death.

Virginia Harmed in ".Alice
of Old VinCennes' @@@

will be familiar with the novel The story
of Mr.. Roses play and his arrangement OF
the scenes Is as follows.
The play begins before Gaspard Rous-
sillOn's house at Nincennes. in the present
State OF Indiana. Alice has been adopted
and brought up by the Roussillons. At the
opening of the play the inhabitants of Vim
cennes nave learned that the war OF indie
pedence is going on beyond the mountains
to the east and that France has given
recognition to the American colonies and
their nght for freedom. They decide to
throw their lot with Washington and the
army of freedom, and a general meeting OF
the townspeople is called at the fort.
Alice and her two girl friends know of
this. They also know Of the new flag
which has just been adopted by the colo
MES. Alice has seen the stars and stripes
her two friends have nearly finished a new
flag, which, when the tOwnspeople declare
for IRE edom and the colonies, she unfurls
over the fort. On this journey TO Fort
NenangO Alice has met Beverly. who is in
the Continental army. She. sees him leave
the fort on an expedition of danger to res
cue some people who have been attacked
and taken prisoners by the Indians, ana as
has been wearing. Her abrupt departure
for home and Nincennes prevents her fur
ther meeting with Beverly or ascertaining
the success of his expedition.
The daily life at Nincennes is shown and
the hold that Alice has on everyone. BeV-
erly makes his appearance. Communica-
west and the Virginia government have
been broken, and Beverly has volunteered
TO go TO the Northwest and find Colonel
Clarke. He comes disguised as a peddler.
Alice recognizes him. Father Beret also
recognizes Beverly. having met him at one
of the Ohio missions He takes him to his
house.
The British close in on Vincennes and the
town is taken. Alice saves her flag by a
clever strategy and protects Beverly by
telling Colonel Hamilton. who commands
the British. that he really is what ne ap-
pears TO be-a peddier. In Act the prog
ress Of the love story between Alice ana
Beverly is brought forward. and the fact
that Colonel Hamilton is also attracted TO
Alice. but with an unworthy motive. Col.
Hamilton takes up his headquarters in the
ROussiilOn house. He brings Beverly there,
thinking he is Il peddler. The pack carried
by Beverly has been the property of a
British spy employed by Hamilton, and
dispatches are concealed in it giving the
exact location and strength of the cOnti-
mental forts upon the Ohio Hamilton finds
these dispatches and at once believes that
Beverly Is in the British service One OF
Clarkes men is taken prisoner and brought
in. Through him Beverly and Alice learn
where Clarke is. 1t is BeVerly's purpose
TO elude the vigilance OF the British guards

Alice helps him to escape by a clever ruse
which effectively deceives Colonel Hamil-

Alice takes his place by keeping Colonel

Act " clears up the minor interests of the
play and brings Alice and Beverly to-
gether.
The habitual theater-goer will see from
the material thus spread out that the play
does not differ in its elements from the
many other dramas built on the revolution
airy war, but he cannot forecast that the
characters will not be invested with fresh
and interesting personalities by the actors.
The perSOnages of the play may be pleas
ingly human besides being adventurous.
Miss Harmed has many fascinating quail
ties and her company seems to have been
we'll selected. Mr.. Thompson once said
that he was no realist; that he believed in
idealiZing characters. Much OF his best
work did not deal with persons, but with
still nature. His tales of hunting trips
with the bow and arrow, his woodland
sketches and his widely-Var1ed essays had
given him high place in the estimation of
literary folk long before his 'Alice of Old
Vincennes' found great popularity with
the public. Whether or not the dramatist.
Mr.. Rose has succeeded in preserving the
tomance of the novel remains to be seen.
The prominence into which Mr.. ThOmp-
son is brought again makes sketch OF his
career worth while at this time. He was
born near BrOokVlle in 1874. and was taken
TO Kentucky and thence TO north Georgia
when a child. He was educated by private
tutors on his fathers plantation with
view TO the vocation of a civil engineer. He
came from the South 10 Indiana in 1865;
little later took charge of the construction
Of a railroad married and settled at Craw-
louisville, where he soon opened a law
office, and in partnership with his brother.
VIII II. Thompson, pursued the practice
successfully for some years. He had bust
ness ability as we'll as a taste for literature,
and was for some years prominent in poll
tics. He also lectured frequently. and.
having made a modest competency, he be
gan turning his attention more and more to
authorship, which all his life had been the
real goal of his aspira ton.
His first literary success was his novel
"a Tallahassee Girl, published by HOugh-
ton. Mifflin & Co.. 1881. which is still pop
ular. Since then his books and contribu-
lions to leading magazines have been very
numerous and widely successful. He was
authority in natural science. Greek
poetry and old French From 1SS5-1SS9 he
was state geologist of Indiana. In 1890 he
accepted a call to the staff of the New
York Independent as one of its literary ed
itorS, with q rowing commission to do his
work wherever he chose. He lived at Sher-
wood Place, in Charlottesville, during sum-
mer and on the gulf coast of the South in
winter. He died at Charlottesville in the
early spring of this year.
