r1gnE--lL QOeSnt seem to nOuTlSn your body. It's thin, and I'd have it exam ined." The friend recommended a.
 doctor who was prominent among those of his profession, and who had 8 repq- tation for diagnosing correctly all cases that came under his cons1dera- ton. 'sYou can count on 1t to be true whatever he says and wouldn't delay in seeing him,'' continued the friend, who by that time had frightened the jolly comedian into the belief that something really serious was the mat ter with him. Accompanying him E
 the office Of the physician he, without any preliminaries regarding the facts of the comedians indisposition, said:
 My friend here wants you to examine
 his blood and tell him what's in it
 After drawing drops of the. brilliant fluid from the patients arm, and mak--
 ing the usual tests, the physician found the sample to tbe in fairly healthful condition. Being something of a wag, and on familiar footing with the com
 edfan's friend, he determined to have
 little fun. so, assuming avery ser1-
 ous air, he proceeded to giving them, in scientific terms. the composition of the comedian's blood. which was the same as that Of any normal blood. The
 technical terms. however. they took to.

 'tNo WEDDING BELLS FOR HER" One of the thrilling scenes in "So Wedding Bells for Her." which is the attraction at Poli's this afternoon and evening, is where the villain tries to
 murder crippled child It is win 1 ter time. Tn great rocky chasn in
 the hills near Wilkesbarre, Pa, the
 snow is falling and the wind is shriek- l ing and bowling in demoniac glee as l it whips the boughs of the trees with
 relentless fury The vast masses of
 rock in the chasm and abutting it's sides look like grim spectres in the l awe-inspiring twilight caused by the
 storm Tn the distance may be seen | the grim lights of mining camp, its
 inhabitants safe inside beyond the 1 fury of the winter gale Snow lies
 deep on the ground, and even the beasts of the field and the birds of the air have repaired to places Of shelter. I To the brink of the chasm comes a
 man accompanied by a little gfrl-a cripple. The child peers over the edge
 and says "ITow grand. It's awfully
 deep, isn't it?'' The man, with a
 smile of fiendish malignity, responds:
 s'Yes, and you, my sweet little Bessie,
 are going to measure that depth" He l seizes her, wrenches away her crutch, and then with strength born of the I evil one he throws her over the precf- pice into the yawning gulf beneath. l The girls sister. alarmed at the ab-
 sence of the loved one from home i'll the storm. comes looking for her. The 1 fiend seiZes her and a second tragedy
 seems imminent when suddenly the l arch villain finds himself looking into l the barrel of a revolver held by man with calm gray eye, and the I girl is saved. Did the poor crippled
 child die? We'll that question is
 best answered by witnessing the play. 1 Prices are 9. 35. 50 and 75 cents.
 VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES
 Following the show which has it's l last performance at the Jacques this 
 evening Manager Po1i offers as suc-
 cessor to this week s European novel l ties genuine American novelty In the 1 person of Eva Nudge in her lightning 1 costume changes. This act is a novel,. l ty i'll that nothing like it has ever be- 1 fore been shown here We have had 1 occasionally some costume changes in some particular act that have caused l some mild wonder at the rapidity with 1 which they were accomplished, but nothing like Miss Mudge's act, depend
 ing entirely for it's effectiveness on the
 rapidity of the work, has ever been seen in Waterbury. Tn Europe this 1 kind of an act has been made famous 1 by the noted Roberts, whose best rec ord has been made iii seven seconds. l Miss Nudge, however, accomplishes
 her quickest change in three seconds,
 making a complete transformation from Red Cross nurse to- q sailor l Her longest change takes r seconds.
