A GREAT SUFFERER FROM
RHEUMATISM.
Cured by st. Jacobs OIL.

Mr. e. G. Moore, OF 7, Phillips
Street, Kingsland:
IL was a great sufferer from Rheu;~
matism for many years, during which,
time tried many remedies, from
which | received but very little relief
Being advised TO use st. Jacobs OIL
did SO. and am happy to say that
after a few applications | felt great
relief, and continuing it's use | can
now say | am perfectly well. st.
Jacobs Oil is, in my opinion. thing
which should be in every household
What blessing. and what hours OF
suffering, pain and misery would
have been saved had Mr. Moore
adopted the wiser course and used
st. Jacobs Oil at first. instead OF
wasting time and money on worthless
embrocations and nostrums with
which, unfortunately, the market is
flooded. The public should not lose
sight of the fact that St Jacobs oil
has conquered pain for more than fifty
years, and il isn't going to stop doing
the same thing now or at any future
time.-Fifty years record OF pain
conquering is record to inspire con-
fdence

VALUE OF LOOKING PLEASANT.
II You are IIl-Tempered, Try Not to y
Show IT,

"As a man thinketh in his heart,
so is he" And, conversely, as a man
appears to be, so will he think in his
heart. In other words, II one is hap
py and cheerful and kind, he will
smile. he will speak, cheeringly, he
will do acts OF kindness. On the other
hand and this is just as important,
TO smile and to speak quietly and in a
kindly tone, even If one feels unhappy
or angry or discouraged at the mo-
ment, SO reacts on the mans inner
being that he begins to feel what he
has simulated. This is a good thought
and il points to a plain duty. We
should never allow ourselves to ex-
press outwardly by word or by look
any unkind or unhappy thought or
feeling. To do SO is only to tend and
foster that feeling, to make it grow
and get final hold on the character.
But by affecting the helpful virtues
we will dwarf and finally pluck out
altogether, the evil in our nature, and
we become in character the good
things we have caused to appear in
our countenances and in our Voices

TROUBLES OF KELCEY
Had to Learn to Smoke Before He Could

Had to Learn to Smoke Before He Could
Play Sherlock HoImes-Mus-
tache Sacrificed.
It was William Gillette himself who first
suggested to Herbert Kelley and Effie
Shannon that they exploit his famous
play, sherlock Holmes" Complications
arose so that until the very cOnsumma ton
Of the agreement, it seemed as if the
project would never be carried out. Sher-
lock Holmes is an inveterate smoker. This
fact escaped the attention of Mr.. Kelley.
At the final rehearsals, however, when the
property man handed him a cigar he real
lied the absolute necessity for smoking
Mr.. Kelley had never in his life smoked
so much as cigarette, and in fact posi-
lively abhorred tobacco in any form. That
he had proceeded too far to recede was
palpable but how to overcome the obstacle
was a poser. That he had to smoke. and
s-n oke persistently and Vociferousy dur
ing the action of the play and that the
practice must be kept up the entire sea-
son was fact that had to be confronted.
Pity him, you Of bilious tendency and try
to picture to yourselves the torture that
poor Herbert Kelley had to undergo.
That he conquered is but a tribute to his
indomitable persistency. 1t was done by
degrees and even now the cigars and the
pipe mixture used by Mr.. Kelley are OF
such mildness and fragrancy that the
nauseat ting tendency is fully eliminated
and Sherlock Holmes as portrayed by him
is entirely in keeping with the traditions
Of the part
The cigar episode was not the last OF
the stars troubles, however. as he dis
covered just before the first performance
when his stage manager gently reminded
him that he would have to sacrifice his
silken mustache, the delight and admira
ton Of so many matinee girls. That is
where the mildmannered Kelley re-
belled. He would sacrifice his tour rather
than his mustache. There was wailing
and weeping and gnashing of teeth, until
family reasons conquered. and now the
admirers Of the statuesque Kelley view
him with mild wonderment shorn of his
flowing silken mustache. His success as
the! great dramatic detective has. how
ever. proved a soothing balm to his re-
grets.
