DUNDREAiaY WADE A FIT.
Accidental Stumble at Stage En-
trance Struck Audience as
Being Intentional

In the days of Lester Wallacls
and the two Barretts, when Nib.
los was BroadYay's foremost
theater, the American public was
invited to enter its doors to sec a
new piece called Our American
Cousin" Joseph Jefferson was
TO play the title part, with Laura
keene as leading lady. says the
New York Times, and further
down the programme appeared
the names of Henrietta Chanirau,
a rarely beautiful and popular nc
tress, and K. Ii. Sothern, the last
named being announced to. play
Lord Dundreary.
To-day's theatrical .radit; .
have much TO iellOf that
the most of the story has IL ~
with the splendidly stupid Eng.
lish lord. who mixed his proverbs
and made immortal the name Of
the elder Sothern. bnl before sue
cess had arrived il was all very
different; none Of the cast was SO
disguised with his part as was
that same talented gentleman.
Mrs. Chanfrnu, who used often to
Tell of the incident, said:
Early ia the rei.eafsals Mr.,
S0thern confided to me how great
iy he was d.-.ippointcd with the
Dundreary part. He declared it
gave him no chance, and he was
seriously considering throwing
il up. Better not was my ad-
Vice. Throw yourself into it.
Make something of it. Make PEG
pie laugh"
40 he thought up those absurd
blonde side WHISPERS and the III
tra-long frock coat. and he worked
over his drawl. and things began
TO look up a bit. Then came the
opening night. and at last the cue
for Lord Dundreary. Sothern
stepped out On the stage. and as
he did SO what must he do hut stub
his toe on an uneven board.
1T really hurt. and quite uneon-
sS.iouslyhctook the next few steps
in that skippy. m.ncing way
which advertises the man with the
corn. Well, the house roare,l. The
whole combination of get-up and
gait struck everyone as ludicrouS.
and by the time the drawl and
monocle had got in their work SIr.
Sothcrp's success was comnlctc.
But | really believe the great
er part Of II was due to that en-
trance, whi"h was. of course, re
pent"d every night thereafter
and no one. SO much as imagined
that a careless stage carpenter
was responsible for that"

MATCHMAKING M THIBET.
Sort OF a Marketing System Which

a prominent English woman

discussion in England for years,
says a London report.

Every girl is married and old

as it is called. is low hut, gen
orally situated midway between
two villages where maidcns and
young men Ia every class of life

which they kindle themselves.
If a man is attracted by GER

relatives to partake of the warmth
around his fire. This is taken as
gentle hint that he is thinking OF

The parent very seldom IL ever
visits the "shambangs.r The girls

stories and sing until they tire.

The Cause and Cure of
Rheumatism.
A short treatise on Rheumatism
for the Popular Mind.

To the sufferer from Rheumatism a
definite cure is found. You probably
know Uric acid is the cause OF Rheu-
matism.
Rheumatism is the most stubborn of
all painful diseases.
Athlophoros is a positive remedy
for rheumatism, because it removes
the cause by eliminating the excess of
Uric acid from the system. All Rheu-
matte affections result from an excess
of Uric acid in the blood. Athlophoros
drives it out!

morse Herman Gehrs Foully
Murdered Cyrus Berry.
Defense Is Attempting to Make Out
That Defendant Is of Weak
Mind.

JefersOnville, Ind. May 26.-Her
man Gehrs is on trial in the Clark Cir
cult court for the murder of Cyrus
Berry, fellow convict, Jan. 7, in the
Indiana refOrmatory. The killing was
absolutely without provocation, the
only reason Gehrs assigned being that
he did not like his victim. The de-
Tense is insanity, and as the coroner,
at the inquest held on the body of
Berry, declared Gehrs insane, it is be-
lieved the jury will follow that lead.
Should it do so, the murderer will be
taken from the refOrmatOry and COM
mitted to a hospital for the treatment
of insane people. GehrS is denOmi-
mated by some of the expert witnesses
as a mental mOnStrOSity, but by others
he is classed as a degenerate, with suf-
ficient knowledge of right and wrong
to make him amenable to the law.
ShOuld the latter theory prevail he
will hang. Gehrs was sent from Lake
county, Dec. 10, 1908, to serve from two
to fourteen years for an attempt to
murder.
