Melodrama will hold the boards at
Harper's theatre next Sunday: +.
y. Mcdowell $ New York production
of The Tide of Life" will be here
with all its original effects, stipend
Gus scenery and splendid company.
The production in this city will be
exactly as it was in New York, not
n detail being omitted. The critics
of the metropolis all agree that The
Tide of Life" was one of the most
striking melodramas that has been
seen for years, and the public en-
dorse the opinions of the critics by
packing the house at every perform
ance. The old-fashioned effects" in
meIodrama have been avoided in this
one, and the audience sees something
that has never been thought of be-
fore. At the end of the fourth act,
for instance, a rascal jumps from the
upper window of n big office build
ing, and clutches at n wire in his de-
scent. Instantly there bursts forth,
from his hands. arms and apparently
every other part of his body, blue
flames and electric sparks. He is
holding, in a death-clutch, heavily
charged electric wire, which Will not
release him until the curtain has fall
len. The sensation created by this
scene is simply Understandable. The
name of the actor who takes these
chances every night is William
Strong. Frank Kilday, an old time
melodramatic star, also plays n
leading part.

EASY FOOD.
Ready for Instant Use without Cooking.

Ready for Instant Use without Cooking.
Almost everyone likes Il cereal food
of some kind at breakfast and sup
per, but the ordinary way of cooking
cereals results in pasty mass that
requires strong digestive power to
get along with. and if not properly
digested, the raw mass goes down
into the intestinal tract where gas
is generated and all sorts of troubles
set up.
Everyone knows that good food
properly digested keeps the body
well. while poor food, or even food
of good quality that is poorly Prepar-
ed and not digested, is sure to bring
on some kind of disease.
The easiest food to digest in this
line is Grape-Nuts, made from wheat
and barley, and cooked thoroughly
at the factory. some ten or twelve
hours being consumed in the differ
ent processes of preparation. The
food. therefore, is ready for instant
service and the stare has been
changed to Grape Sugar, so that ii is
pre-digested and ready for almost
immediate assimilation.
Miss X. l.. Phillips, young lady at
1856 Vernon avenue. Chicago, writes
that she suffered for years from in
digestion and dyspepsia from the use
of food that was not suitable to her
powers of digestion.
She says, Il began using Grape
Nuts, and l confess to having had Il
prejudice, at first, and was repeatedly
urged before l finally decided to try
the food, but l have not known what
indigestion is since using it. and have
never been stronger or in better
health. l have increased in weight
from 100 to 124 pounds"
People can be well, practically
withiut cost, if they will adopt scien-
tific food and leave off the indiges-
tible sort.
Grape-Nuts Food is sold at all first
class groceries. 1t is crisp and delic-
ious to the taste. 1t should be served
exactly as il comes from the package,
without cooking, except in cases
where it is made up into puddings
and other desserts.

Bineen on the Rhine

A soldier of the Legion. lay dying in
Algiers,
There was lack of woman's nursing.
there was dearth of womans tears
But comrade stood beside him. while
his life-blood ebbed away,
And bent with plying giances. to hear
what he might say.
The dying soldier faltered, took that
comrades hand,
And he said: II never more shall see
my own, my native land
Take a message and a token to some
distant friends of mine,
For was born at Bingen. at Bingen on
the Rhine
TELL my brothers and companions, when
they meet and crowd around
To hear my mournful story. in the pleas
ant vineyard ground,
That we fought the battle bravely. and
when the day was done,
Full many a corpse lay CHASTITY pale. be-
meath the setting sun.
And mid the dead and dying, were some
grown old in wars,
The death wound on their gallant breasts,
the last of many scars,
But some were young, and suddenly be-
held life's morn decline.
And one had come from Bingen. fair
Bingen on the Rhine.
''Ten my mother that her other sons
shall comfort her old age.
For I was aye a truant bird, that
thought his home a cage:
For my, father was soldier. and even
child,
My heart leaped forth to hear him tell
of struggles fierce and wild.
And when he died, and left US to divide
his scanty hoard.
let them take whate'er they would, but
kept my fathers sword,
And with boyish love, 1 hung 1t where
the bright light used to shine,
On the cottage wall at Bingen. calm
Bingen on the Rhine.
Tell my sister not to weep for me. and
sob with weeping head.
When the troops marching home
again with gay and gallant tread,
But to look upon them proudly with
calm and steadfast eye,
For her brother was a soldier, too, and
not afraid to die.
And If a comrade seeks her love. I ask
her in my name,
To listen to him kindly without regret or
shame,
And to hang the old sword in its place
(my fathers sword and mine)
For the honor of old Bingen, dear Bengen
ON the Rhine"
His voice grew faint and hoarser, his
grasp childish weak,
His eyes put on dying look, he sighed
and ceased to speak.
His comrade bent to lift him, but the
spark of life was fed.
A soldier of the Legion. in foreign land
was dead.
And the soft moon rose up slowly, and
calmly she looked down,
On the red sands of the battle field with
bloody corpses strewn.
Yea, calmly, that dreadful scene, her
pale light seemed to shine.
As it shone distant Bingen, fair Bin
gen the Rhine.
