Mrs. Pats Quick Make Up,S

New York Press: The originality OF
Mrs. Patrick Campbell is shown In the
wonderful celebrity Of her making up
for the stage. She arrives at the thea
ter only a few minutes before curtain
time and enters her dressing room like
a whirlwind. Into a corner she throws
her coat Of broadtaih Her squirrel hat
is thrown unceremoniously on a nail,
In a fash she has stripped her neck OF
the favorite emerald chain, and in two
minutes she has anointed her face and
dabbed the rogue on her cheeks. The
penciling of her yes is almost as brief
in the doing. Without the assistance
of a maid she losses her street bodice
into a corner and fails into an even
ing gown that fastens readily. The
arranging of her hair in hat indefinite
knot is done with three twists of her
deft fingers and q general Embedding
of hairpins. She arranges her jewels
on her corsage as she crosses to the
stage. Between every act she changes
with the rapidity of a magician. 1t is
her nature to work feverishly, and her
friends say she lives In a continual
rush. even while crossing the ocean.

stood John Acton-serious, too, for the

her brother, with a sadness upon him
that nothing could ever lift, for that his
life was scared by this war that a
bereft him of all family ties. Deborah
gave answer to the simple service in a
low, gentle voice; and when we were
done I kissed her for her brave heart
and her leaf self, and-be ii confessed
in general thanks to God that shs

for as long as He should give us life.

THE END.
FIM-FLAM.
A Scheme That Has Puzzled Even the
Up-to-Date Barkeeper.


New orleans Times-Democrat: 1.-THE
thing in the way of him-fam now, and
the real thing" said an old detective, lis
away ahead OF any of the old tricks [
know anything about. 1t has been worked
but once in New Orleans, as far as j
know, and If 1t has ever been worked in
any other place / do not know anything
about 1t. The business Of finding a pock-
etbook, 'springlng the pigeon as 1t is
called; the lock trick-which, by the way,
is one of the smoothest of the whole list
and all the others are cheap and clumsy
In comparison with the clever scheme that
was worked on a downtown barkeeper a
few evenings ago. 1t shows one thing,
and that is that the criminal classes are
quite as active, mentally and otherwise,
as men who are engaged In the decent
caIlings of life. They are probably more
active mentally than the men who are
ground into narrow grooves because of
! ceaseless toiling in an effort to keep the
wolf away. The new fim-flam scheme is
wonderfully simple, and IS worked with
paper money. A 81 and a So bill are needed.
OF course, bills of higher denomination
could be used, but the two men who
worked the trick here used Ele bills of the
first denominations 81 and a IS bill. 1t
is worked in this way: One of the men
will write in thin letters on the Jack of
the S. bill what is supposed to be a list of
| his laundry. For instance, this way: One
shirt, two collars, two pairs of cuffs. He
will go into a saloon when there is a rush
on, in order to further minimize the pos
! sibilities of the barkeeper's detecting the
scribbling on the bill, and will call for a
drink.
The money is put in the drawer, the
man gets his drink and his change n
walks out. Directly his partner walks in,
calls for a glass Of beer and tenders a 81
bill in payment. The barkeeper throws
out 95 cents in change. You've made a
mistake, old man. the purchaser will say;
L gave you a S. BILL A polite wrangle
follows. The fellow is insistent; says he
only had one piece OF money, and that
it was d S. bill, and he remembers to have
| jotted down a list of his laundry on the
back of It. He calls for the boss, tells
him Of the dispute and asks MIN to see
If he has a IS bill with one shirt, two coll
lars, two pairs cuffs written on it in pen
Gil. Sure enough, the ..il is found. and
the man gets his 1896 change. This is
the scheme they worked on the man
downtown, and he had no idea he had
been swindled until he though over 1t for
some time, and then the whole plot
dawned on him. 1t IS a clever scheme, but
one that will not last, as barkeepers are
awfully quick to get on to tricks of this
sort"

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges commit
ted to their care, but they also minister
to their bodily needs.
With so many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna a never failing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear SiE-"The young girl who used
the Peruna vas suffering from aryngi-
lis and loss of voice. The result of
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after
further use of the medicine we hope
to be able to say she Is entirely cured"

The young girl was under the care of
the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good re.
suits as the above letter te~stifies.

COnvfncinp Proof.


Case No. Al ,206.-Capt. Alfred G.
Ohio, says: IL had a weak back ever
since l was a boy, and about six years
ago the cause developed into rather a
bad case Of kidney complaint. 1t was
not a little backache now and then, but
backache which caused actual suffer.
Ing day and night, and the harder I
tried to get rid of 1t the worse 1t be-
came.
when the attacks were In the acute
stage 1t was difficult to sit down, and
when down It was just as hard to re-
gain an erect position, on account of
tina twinges OF pain In the kidnoys. I
can only describe some of the pangs as
similar to that received from a knife
thrust.
"In time, distressing and terribly in
convenient urinary weakness resulted,
causing annoying embarrassment dur
ing the day and loss Of sleep during the
night.
II took everything which came to my
notice from reading, from observation,
and which my friends and acquain.
tances advised. | consulted physicians,
but none Of them were able to relieve
the trouble, let alone stop 1t.
at became s. well known that l had
a pronounced case Of kidney complaint
that l often received circulars from
medical companies offering to cure me,
and one day eighteen letters were
handed to me by the mail carrier.
when Doan's Kidney Pills attract
ed my attention I wanted to try them,
just as l had tried everything else,
and Mrs. Rigler went to Durham &
Wright Co.'s drug store for a box. Re-
lief followed.
81 knew after a dose or two that the
medicine was acting directly on the
kidneys from the altered condition Of
the kidney secretions, and,
ed. l continued the treatment. Finally,
the backache and other complications
stopped.
"Let me sum up my opinion about
Doan's Kidney Pills by saying I would
willingly pay n months a for a
box Of them IL I could not buy them
for less. You can refer anyone to me
about Doan's Kidney Pills and will
convince them that they act just as
