They are telling a story on Broadway
of certain road manager, who was
called to New York to look after book
ing matters. and was obliged to leave the
affairs of his company in the hands of
a man whose knowledge of theatrical
affairs was extremely limited. He in
structed this person to telegraph each
night the amount of the receipts, being
careful to swell the actual takings by
$500. This arrangement would enable
the manager to know just where he
stood while making good showing to
his friends, for when they asked him
how business was it would enable him TO
flash a telegram showing satisfying re-
ccipts.
The first message received read:
House tonight $1,000. Remember,
this is increased by S400.'
That was bad enough, but when the
manager received the following his
chagrin was complete:
House tonight 400 and $40; audience
got money back
How the story leaked out is a mys-
terry, or, needless TO tell, the manager
did not exhibit the telegrams.--New York

ence and one which Mrs NJ. O. Garrett
of this place has just passed through.
Mrs. Garrett suffered with Ccre-
bro-Spinal affection, and had been

without the slightest Improvement
For the last twelve months two doc
tors were in constant attendance. but
she only grew worse and worse, till
she could not walk, and did not have
any power TO move at all.
She was so low that for the greater
part of the time she was perfectly un-
conscious of what was going on about
her. and her heart-Droken husband and
friends We're hourly expecting her
death.
The doctors had given up an hope
and no one thought she could possibly
live.
In this extremity Mr.. Garrett sent
for box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1t
was a last hope, but happily it did not
fail
Mrs. Garrett used in all six boxes OF
the remedy, and is completely cured

Il am doing my own work now and
