 1One can't help headache occa- .sionalIy," said Mrs. Bowser as she sat up to wet the bandage around her head
 ''Oh, they can't, eh? Mrs. Bowser, look at me. When am ever ailing? When do you hear me complain? Never in this world. And why is it? Because, madam, because don't cram my stomach with watermelon, butter milk, gumdrops, custard pie, sweet cake, ginger ale, bananas and all that. feet sopping wet. Because exercise a little common sense in taking care of myself. Here am ready for dinner A healthy person is always ready for his meals. You won't try to get up, I suppose?'
 ''Not just yet. I shall feel better by and by"
 "Well, you have only yourself to blame. You may learn in time, though I doubt it. The Lord made you this way, and it's no use to argue"
 MT. Bowser ate his dinner, smoked his cigar and sang and whist1ed as if the slightest sound didn't go through her aching head like bullet. It never occurred to him to fan her, wet the bandage or ask her if she couldn't sip cup of tea. He went out to the club for three hours, and finding her in bed when he returned he undressed with out an inquiry as to whether she was better or worse. But forty-eight hours later the tables were turned. MT. Bow ser came scuffing along home with his shoulders bumped up and his face the color of four, and it was plain to see that something had happened.
 What is 1t, dear?' asked Mrs. Bow ser as soon as he entered the hall

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
S*.ssss x s..s..sss.sssss,s

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES. The knowledge that Manager Poii had spread himself beyond all prece-
 dent in arranging this weeks bill at
 the Jacques served to bring out large audience to the matinee to-day, and a
 large attendance is looked for again
 this evening. After that business will be at top notch, for the show is sure to be found the best ever presented on
 the local vaudeville stage. There are
 four great big headline acts, as has been told already, and every one is a star. First of all there are Hal Davis
 and Inez Macaulay in Edmund Days
 uproariously funny comedietta, "The
 Unexpected an act that in itself
 would ordinarily be sufficient head liner. Then come Monroe, Mack and
 Lawrence in .sPickings from Puck" a
 sketch that has the old time variety elements. As a third headliner there
 is Albini, the noted European pres-
 tidigitateur and king of card manipu-
 lators, who has been creating a sensa- tion since his arrival in this country.
 And as a fourth headliner we have Ward and Curran in ssThe Terrible Judge" and no vaudeville patron needs to be told what funny act that is. With this quartet of headliners and the accompanying acts to back them,
 this weeks bill seems like one of those
 that one finds in Keith's houses where
 much higher prices are charged. Among the supporting players are the Brown brothers and Lillian Wright,
 Nellie Floreda. and Al Anderson and Billy Briggs. The electrograph has "A Tour of Switzerland and other in

Quite the smartest things in new fall gloves for men are the white and tan driving gloves. These have, in the first place, special cut-an anatomical cut, it is called-to fit the lines of the hand.

The back and wrist are of the white, and the palm of the hand and inside and be- tween the fingers are of the dark. skin. The gloves are called the four-in-hand and cost $2.50.

PoLI's THEATER
A..pfstanguished Citizen.

Judge William c. Toole, who lives at 8o9 North Fourth street,5S St. Joseph, Mo, has several claims to distinction, He is the oldest living citizen of St. Joseph, having moved there in 1888. He is the oldest lawyer in Buchanan county, and, perhaps, in Missouri, having been ad- mitted to practice in 1848. He is the only man living who witnessed the first judicial proceeding in Buchanan county
 and also the oldest living man who has sat as judge in that Jurisdiction, having been elected to the court of common pleas in 1853. He used to be a local preacher and has preached in St. Jo- seph more years than any other man.

He expects to find her state of health just the same day in and day out, year in and year out, and the slightest variation from his pro- gramme puts him out When he came home one evening not long since and found Mrs. Bowser lying on the lounge with a bandage around her head he was sorry for her, of course just a= sorry as the average husband. And. like the average husband, he stood and glared at her for moment and then blurted out:

: THE VOLUNTEER oRGAN1sT."

IAI VoLONIEESh OhGANlSI.
 This pretty pastoral drama will have a single presentation at Polls on We'd nesday evening. The play is an idyll in its way. The story is simple, and is blended with genuine comedy and ex- ceptfonal pathos. The scenes are laid among the hills of northern Vermont, and it's many characters are as true to life as 1t is possible to make them. The chief scene discloses the interior of a church, with the volunteer organ ist seated at his instrument, while the sweet, ringing voice of Master Willie Nelson is heard in the powerful mel ody of 'The Holy City, Master Nell sons voice is 1ikened to that of a sweet-voiced thrush, who at break of morn awakens the thrifty granger from his night of graceful slumber. Seats go on sale tomorrow at 9, 35, 90, 75 cents and $1.

MAKES THEM LIE AND STEAL.

The evil habit of smoking cigar

kids of the present day and which
is on the increase, is beginning to at

subject for discussion. The habit is
growing every day and as it grows the

will drink whiskey regularly will lie
and the man who will lie will steal.
But whiskey is-a mild medicine COM
pared to cigarette smoking. A man
may get drunk one day and the next
he will be all right, with the except
ion of feeling little bad, and will
retain his right senses, but should he
smoke cigarettes in proportion to the
amount of whiskey he drank the
effects are embedded in his system, his
mind wanders, he feels slugged, wants

IT'S UP TO THE GOVERNOR.

The Yazoo Sentinel has the COVER

come down, bear-like, in backing

some other hard propositions which
the Sentinel has up its sleeve. In the

fit to express his views on this matter.

that while he condemns the closing of
the Office as unjustified,' he modi-
f1es his mild condemnation by express
ing the hope that his friend Teddy

light While running with the
hare, the governor may be depended
upon to hold with the hounds, for
with the inevitable defeat for the
senate which awaits him, federal
appointment might be convenient
thing to heal the wounds Of his dis
appointment.
Now, since the governor has given
mild expression of his views on
Roosevelt's act in closing the Indiana
la postoffice, he might also take the
democratic voters of the state into his
confidence and tell them what he
thinks of Roosevelt as an individual.
1t is generally believed, governor, that
you are expecting political favors at
the hands of the republican admins
tration, and for that reason have beer
slow to criticise any of the personal
or official acts of the president. Per-
haps this is the reason why you have
not seen fit to give public expression
to your views touching the act OF
Roosevelt in dining with a merge, or
in inviting a number of them to his
white house reception.
