Some Mistakes In Which the Moen,
SUN and Wind Figure,

The noon proves a terrible pitfau to
most writer's. > Wilkie Collins once per-
formed the marvellous feat of making
it rise in the west. Rider Haggard, in
"King SOlomon's Mines" relies for the
effective rendering Of one Of his most
thrilling scenes upon an eclipse Of the
new moon
Coleridge placed a star between the
horns of the crescent moon, forgetting
that to be visible in such a position the
star would have to be between the
earth and the moon or, say, 23O.O O
miles away only.
Next to the noon perhaps the sun is
responsible for more glazing errors
than any single concrete cause. All
the beginning Of a certain famous nov.
el, the title of which a few years back
was in everybody's mouth, an invalid
characters room was said to have
been lighted by one window looking
directly toward the east. Yet at the
end of the book, when the invalid dies,
the author, wishing to make him de
part this life in a flood of glory, suf-
fuses this eastern Widowed room with
the red glare Of the setting SUM-"
Kingsley, too, made one Of his heroes
row out into the eastern ocean after
the setting sun. But eve this glaring
absurdity has been capped. In anovel

world, according to novelists, we
should not only find the sun setting in
the east, but pennants would stream
against the direction of the prevailing
wind.

aDEAR Mrs. PMKHAM::-s Soon after my marriage two years ago I
found myself in constant pain. The doctor said my womb was turned,
and this caused the pain, with considerable contamination. He prescribed
for me for four months, when my husband became impatient because I
grew worse instead of better, and in speaking to the druggist he advised
him to get Lydia p. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and sanative
Wash. How wish I had taken that at first; it would have saved me
weeks Of suffering; It took three long months to restore me, but it is
has brought Joy to our home and health to- me"-MRs. PAULINE JUD-
SON, AZ Hoyt St, Brooklyn, n. Y. {.
1t would seem by this statement that women would save time
and much sickness if they would get Lydia p Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound at once. 1t might as well be understood first as
last that no medicine in the world is equal to it, and no druggists
substitute will be satisfactory. Get it to-day; don't wait. ~

Severe Storm Sweeps Over the

Easter in snow, Christmas in mud;
Christmas in snow, Easter in mud"
The United States book of proverbs
contains the above. 1t can be juggled
around to suit the tastes of all There
was rain last Christmas. The chances
are quite favorable for a muddy Easter,
although Observer Jennings held out
the hope this morning that today's snow
row. He made no rash promises further
than that.
The snow fell this morning as if it is
as easy for the snow machines to work
in spring as winter. The flakes were
large The air was so full of snow
that it was difficult to see more than
two or three blocks. The flakes were
wet and on the roofs they packed into
a wet mass and on the pavements and
sidewalks they melted as soon as they
fell.
Observer Jennings explains it thus:
There was low barometer which
passed through Texas, Arkansas, Mis-
souri, to southern Illinois and carried
the body of the storm with it causing
heavy rains in the Mississippi valley
heavy with moisture and there is a
colder current of air above us. The
moisture forms into fine needles of ice
in the cloud region and in falling adhere
and make the snowfiakes which melt
quickly after reaching the ground where
the air is warmer.

twenty-four hours. At some points on
the mountains the storm has reached
the proportions of a blizzard. Cattle
on the ranges in the northeastern por-
ton are suffering severely, being in
too weakened condition from exposure

present storm. Conditions in that sec

AdViceS received by the Santa F'e teIe-
graph department from as far west as
La Junta indicate that the snow storm
is general all over Kansas. Apparently
the storm struck Kansas from the west,
and is moving eastward.
Four inches of snow have fallen at
Newton and Dodge City, and the snow
extends also to La Junta and Emporia.
AT Chanute the weather is cloudy, cold
and threatening. The snow is still fall
ing at Dodge City and Newton.
The snow probably does not extend as
far south as Oklahoma. Reports from
east of Topeka have not been received
at this hour.
The snow is general over the eastern
division of the Santa Fe, but is lighter
than in the west.
The Rock Island has reports of six
inches of snow in Colorado, and the
entire western division of the road is
well covered by the white blanket. Be
tween Mcfarland and Herington there
is about two inches of snow. The snow
extends eastward to Horton and st.
Joseph.
The snow does not interfere with
traffic, and has not caused any trouble
with telegraph wires. Telegraph Off
cials state that unless the wind begins
to blow no difficulty is anticipated.

DOLLARS THAT DRAW.
Uncle saun's Cnins Exercise n rEns- netic Influence Over the rco-
 nle of Eaurcpe.

ssWe on the other side of the pond talk great deal about you Ameri- cans being worshipers of the all mighty dollar, but after some ob- servation and thought, I have come to the conclusion that that dollar has as much influence over Us as it has over you,'' said James H. Morley, q London merchant and club men, ac- cording to the New York Herald 'sThe truth is,' continued Mir. Morley, 'sthis dollar worship is Amer jean nature because it is human na- ture, and that the glitter of the coin is just as bright in European eyes as in any eyes. I am here after that in Europe are reaching out for it.
 There is not q bachelor over there who is long in title and short in cash who hasn't his monocle on the fem mine end of your wealthy society, and, as you we'll know, lots of them have gotten American wives with money enough to repair their estates and prop up their dignities.
 'Then the European artists as they call themselves, eyince an ayariciousness for the American dol lar that leaves q Vermont Yankee so far behind that he is lost in tEc race. If an English provincial mountcbank who is able to gather T couple ot ghillings day by his antics can get on the American stage, he is q fla nous juggler and thinks he should be paid $500 week. A London music hall singer with a doubtful octave voice who comes over here expects good notes for her bad ones, and hal. dozen octaves of them every day.
 "When you get among the actors and singers of artistic worth it is worse yet, Where they get 2 pound with us they want 25 American dol- lars over here. Tn Europe they per form to eight shilling stalls, and here it must be five dollars, so that their octuple salaries may be paid. No wonder that they are crazy to come over here, for you Americans are so very easy.
 .sThe fact is that the European de- voices are crowding into the front pews of the American temple of mann mon, erected to the worship of the almighty dollar"

NO SENSE IN SNAKE WORSHIP
That Was the opinion Expressed by
 a Woman Who Had Trav- s.= e1ed Much.

"Of all the religions, superstitions and idolatries in the world the most inexplicable to me is snake worship ping said the much travelled woman, IS she slipped her cup of tea, according to the New York Tribune. ''If there is anything on earth of which I, in conn mon with most of my sex, am more afraid of than snake, I don't know what it is, and the almost universal i'm pulse among men to kill a snake wherever and whenever they see one. Yet history tells us that sna ke worship has existed in one way or another from time immemorial, and it exists to-day in some parts of India, where to kill a serpent is to court all the ills that the snake god can indict upon the offender. Tn the province of Acharakund the na- tives are almost unanimous in their be. lief in the deity of the serpent, not iS all serpents, but in those which have become sacred by reason of some legendary circumstance. If they un- willingly commit some deed which they think will offend the snake god they immediately offer up a goat as 8 sacrifice and set up one or more snake stones, stones with the image of ser pent rudely carved on them, as pro- pitiatory offering. If their cows cease to give milk, if the milk is thin, if a member of the family is i'll, they go through the same performance, and whole communities of farmers fre- quently join in a propitiatory offering when they desire a change of weather. Snake temples and snake priests abound in this district, and no small part of the earnings of the benighted. natives goes toward their mainten- ance. How any one could possibly worship snake can't understand for the life of me-
 And, for once, the other women unanimously agreed with her.

Russ Whytall's we'll known war play, For Fair Virginia will be the attraction at Polls on Monday even> ing and its record warrants expecta- tion of an attractive performance. In deed, the play made quite a favorable impression when presented at Polls three seasons ago, and many have longed for an opportunity to see it again. The action of the play takes place in the south during the late war, which also furnishes the incidents for the story, and there are some very stirring scenes which are worked out with fine dramatic effect, Prices are 25, 35, 50, 75 cents and S1.

Tn Portuguese Africa.

Trayeling in Portuguese Africa is thus described by a recent writer: As soon as one gets into the interior there ir an absence of roads and a great paucity of government mili- fary stations or trading posts. The country is slightly po.iced. The con sequence is that the negro bearer who carries his rubber has long, dangerous, dificnlt journey and is robbed of a portion of his stock from time to time; and when he returns to his village if his chief be informed that there is smallpox on the coast he is likely to be summarily shot by his own people.

GRETNA GREEN.

Waterbury will be treated to a notable performance on Tuesday even ing, when Miss Elizabeth Tyree will appear in Grace Livingston Furness's s new play, .Gretna Green.' This is Miss Tyree's first season as star. al- though she is well remembered here for the splendid impression she made in the leading lady role in "Unleaven- ed Bread" The play was written by Miss Furness with view to provide q love story that would offer a con- genial role to Miss Tyree, could be de- velopcd largely in a comedy way and be irnbued with an atmosphere of romance. The true story of Dolly Erskine and Richard Murray, earl of Bassett. has furnished theme. The historic Ganley of Gretna Green on the Scottish border and Harrowgate, a little watering place in the north of England and the period, the days of 1901, have provided the romantic ad- juncts. MT Harris has secured the services of company that promises excellence of presentation. including Scott Craven, Frances Gaunt, Frank Methieu, Eva Vincent. Georvgie Law renee, Arthur Barry, Maude Monroe. Henry Hare, Philip Smalley, Mrs Fe- Ix Morris, Harry Forbes, Sybil Klein and others. Seats will go on sale Monday at 25, 50, 75 cents $1 and $1.50.
