Incidentally Omaha has not only had the
best OF things theatrical so far this sea-
son, but the weeks that remain are to be
filled with even more notable attractions.
Three nights and a matinee by Mrs. Patrick
Campbell. two nights OF Richard Mansfield
three nights OF william Gillette, two nights
OF w. II. Crane, three nights Of Mary Man
nering and three nights OF James O'Neill
are the leading events OF the March and
April bookings at the Boyd, and between
now and then come a steady stream of good
things.

THE Fatal Wedding" a drama Gull Of
thrilling scenes, climaxes and situa-
tions, will be the weeks final offer
ing. opening Friday night. The story tells
of two adventurers, an INSCRIPTIONS man
and woman, who are represented as en-
deavoring to wreck the lives of a happy
married couple. They work divers
schemes. and for a time succeed but are
thwarted in the end.
Next week at the Boyd is an especially
notable one. Kyrle Bellew, the eminent
English actor. will be seen in "a Gentle
man of France" "The Princess Chic" will
be given, with Joseph Miron and the ma
jorlty of the original cast, and the Eng
lish comic opera, San Toy" will be
seen with the original company with but
one OF two exceptions. William Simmons

"Pickings From Puck"

Omaha theaters are sharing in the gen
eral prosperity Of the country. It being an
almost nightly sight to see the IS. r. o."
sign out az the Boyd and the Orpheum., In
fact, II is a very inferior attraction that
does not sell out for each performance.
This is not the only evidence Of prosperity
the theaters afford. In the general appear
ance OF the people who are seen at the
playhouses is found the best evidence OF
material wellbeing Of the community. When
times are hard and money is scarce the
theater suffers hrst Of all. because 1t is
the one thing that the people feel they can
do without. In times of depression folks
curtail their amusements, and the money
that would go to buy seats at the play is
put into houshold necessities or boarded
against time OF more stringent need
That no such conditions exist nowadays is
easy to believe after one has seen an audi
ence such as assembled at the Boyd on
Friday night An observer found as much
interest in looking over the audience and
noting the we'll dressed. handsome women
and carefully groomed men as in watching
the performance on the stage. Omaha is
rapidly taking on the airs and graces of
oldestablished social life. and the men
and women of the city are paying more and
more attention to the little things that go
TO make up what is called, for want OF a
better word, form" After all, It is form
that marks the individual of culture, and
nowhere is there a better opportunity for
its display than at the theater. obser-
walton and experience covering a number
OF western cities leads to the conclusion
that no one needs longer apologize for
Omaha. While we haven't lost the breezi-
ness that comes from the very nature OF
our location, almost the last trace OF the
wild and wooly has vanished, and Omaha
has taken its place among the communi-
ties where social amenities are marked by
strict observance of the proprieties And
even this condition is a good indication Of
prosperity. for It shows that the citizens
not only know what is the right thing to do,

FORESTS Great Power.

An effeminate young man, an intense
admirer of Forrest, enlisted among the
supers so as to be nearer his idol. At
the end Of Forests most effective
speech, then on, the new actor was so
overcome that he tainted. The incl
dent so pleased the 'old man" that he
called him to his dressing room, where,
after q few remarks, he presented him
with dollar as n memento Of the occa-
sion. On rejoining his fellow supers,
five in number, the happy recipient
spoke Of his good fortune, dilating upon
the cause thereof At the next perform
ance Forrest kept his eye on him to
see if he could again so overcome him
as to cause him to faint. When he
reached the scene and climax his as
constituent can be imagined when six
OF the supers fell over in a dead faint.

Nerves and the Breakfast Table.

The longer live the more convinced
I am that breakfast is the real cause of
more domestic friction than can be
accounted for by mere incompatibility
of temper. 1t is not in human nature
to be amiable in the early morning.
The patriarchal system by which four
or five different branches of family
live under one roof could not possibly
continue abroad were the various fam
lilies obliged to submit to the breakfast
test. Your father-in-law, your mother
in-law, your brother-in-law and his
wife, your sister-in-law and her hus-
band contemplated over a dish of
poached eggs in the early morning
would be impossible, but by midday
we have buried our savage instincts,
assumed once more the Christian viz
tues and are prepared to face the world
of relations-in-law with resignation
and perhaps even the semblance of
appreciation.-A Countess on English
Customs.

There is more catarrh In this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced 1t
a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly falling
to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarIh to be constitution
al disease and and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls

J. Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio, IS

Little Faults In Social Life.

A fault in the young is to form some
feyerish admiration for one or two par
ticular friends, often of so called
superior social standing. These are
referred to constantly. They are held
up as patterns, oracles and patrons.
In private circles and public places
their names are loudly mentioned in
the hope and desire of impressing by
ISLANDERS. At bazaarS. in the Hobbies
of theaters, at railway stations, in
railway carriages and, indeed, wher-
ever the company may be described
as mixed this distressing form Of what
is known as brag is very much in evil
dence. The shouting Of nicknames and
Christian names at moments when in
ordinary intercourse one would not be
addressing anybody is also done in or
der to advertise some small degrees of
intimacy with the well known.-Suc-

THE SINGING BULLET.
II You Hear 1t WIKI, You May BE
Sure 1t Won't Hit You.


Don't be afraid Of bullet that
you've heard WHISTLE" said an old SOL
der. IF 1t sings in your ear rest as
sured that it will never harm you. 1t
is a fact, as any old soldier will tell
YOU, that you never hear the bullet
which hits you. 1t is a problem or
'windage,' as the boys in the army call
ed it. In other words, the bullet which
you hear sing has already sped past
YOU and the bullet which hits you has
Missed in the ear of some other fellow
in passing before it got to you. 1t is a
simple proposition, after all. The sing
ing of the bullet is the atmospheric vi
bration which is created and the resist
ance which the air offers to the prog
ress of the bullet This cannot be de-
tected by the ear until the bullet mas
crossed q parallel line with the ear. 1t
may sail over your head or whiz close
to the ground, but if it passes you at
all the ear will catch the sound of its
flight. To the soldier of many battles
the voice of the bullet is music. He
knows that he need have no dread of
the bullet that sings in his ears. 1t is
the bullet that he does not hear that
must be feared, and it is this bullet
which always brings harm to him. No
soldier ever heard the bullet which in
ficted a wound on him."-New Orleans
Times-Democrat.

Rear worshipers of Japan.

The queerest and perhaps the Oldest
people Of the earth are the Amos, the
bear idolaters, who are found in the
Japanese islands Of Kovriles, Sahkall-
no, and chiefly in Yezo or Honnaido.
They number more than $4,000 souls
in all, and they are fast disappearing.
They have the broad nose and the
oblique eyes which characterize the
Chinese and Asiatic races generally,
but there the resemblance ends. The
Amos are a large and powerful people,
straight as an arrow. All the Amos
declare they sprang from the Great
White Dog-the bear-and princess
of the south. The bear is their chief
god.

How to See Under Water.

A lens for seeing under water is
described as producing an effect which
is both astonishing and delightful. 1t
gives distinct vision to objects from
twenty to thirty feet below the sur
face which are usually out Of ordi-
nary eye range. The eyes loss Of eX-
tending vision when under water is
owing to the fact that an entirely diff
ferent focus is required. The specta-
cles which can adjust this focus are
made by putting two watch crystals
back to back or with the concavities
outward. Try it and be surprised.
