A Mistaken Change.

The letters It. 5. ~" were omitted
from the collars Of officers coats in til,
new army uniform. In their place wal
used the national coat Of arms. This
has not proved satisfactory. and Off

asked that the letters be restored.
In this era of uniforms for religious
and civic societies and for employees
of transportation companies it is Ger.
tainly desirable that the uniform 70:

Balm Of Gnead.

The real balm of Gilead Is the dried
Juice Of a low shrub which grows In
Syria. It is very valuable and scarce,
for the amount of balm yielded by one
shrub never exceeded sixty drops a
day. According to Josephus, the balm
or balsam Of Gilead was one Of the
presents given by the queen Of Sheba
to King Solomon. The ancient Jewish
physicians prescribed it evidently for

Wounds of the Heart.

In wounds of the heart itself the es-
cape Of blood is never in large guam
tity. and the iethal consequences are
due to the fact that the escape Of blood
from within its cavity or cavities into
the surrounding sac Of the perlcardium
mechanically interrupts the alternate
contraction and expansion by which
its pumping action is maintained. Ac,
cordingly the results Of the wound OF
the heart are usually identical with

A .crowd of the faithful out
weatered the driving rain and wind
Saturday afternoon and saw Mary
Emerson In "His Majesty and the
Maid" pretty romance written by
Joseph LaBrant, and now on the
road only about three weeks. Miss
Emerson Lot only delighted her
audience, but she made an impress
sion on the clientele of the Colo
NAL Theatre that assures her the
"pride of place" among the book
Ing for the future. People who at
tended In the afternoon returned
at night: after the play patrons
buzzed about the Office of Manager
Louis Blumenstein and urged him
to book the star and her company
for a return engagement. The date
will probably be set for the early
spring.
1t Is the rare combination that
makes the work of Miss Emerson
so gratifying. Nature endowed her
with a remarkable artistic coun-
tenance as we'll as temperament; a
little figure, supurb womanly grace,
large dark eyes that hold a world
of wonderment at times and voice
with many shades Of tone at her
command. No star that has shined
upon the boards of the Colonial
took such grip upon the interest
and admiration of the pit, as did
Miss Emerson, In a prettily ar
ranged scene, she springs onto the
stage, beaten In foot race by her
brother, but the victor for all that
In the heart of every spectator.
From that moment on, through
four fast, snappy acts, In which the
unities of time, place and action
are admirably sustained, she never
moved figure on the chess board
of the play, as the plotting Minis
ter of War would have said, but
what the music of applause swelled
into an entrance serenade. In that
anti climax of the third act, where
she Is forced to wound her own
lover at sword play, In order to es-
cape from the Golden Lion Inn,
that she may warn the king who
eventually turns out ito be her
own father, of the plot that she has
overheard In the disguise of a sedl'
tious poet, TO assassinate him, so
thoroughly did she convey the con
ficting emotion of woman's love
and woman's patriotism and fdel-
ity, that the audience In the bal
cony crowded to the forward balus'
trade, and many at the evenings
performance, arose from their seats
In the excitement.
Miss Emerson was born In this
State, but started on her theatrical
career on the Pacific slope.
