THE VILLAGE POSTMASTER

This quaint rural comedy, which
 has always been welcome visitor here, will again be seen at Polls on Monday evening. This play has dis ffnct value independent of its rural and it's realism in the fhatter of threshing machines, live FtOck and bearing apple trees. That Falue lies particularly in story of eehtiment and sharp instinct, logical " and dramatically worked out. While It's dramatis-personae are the common
 property of authors who deal in bu-
 eolic New England plays, they are here presented in 8 posture of affairs that gives them the seeming of new hess and strikes several clear notes bf originality. The tone of it is fine bnd true. It is moral without preach mess, unsophisticated without being green humorous without coarse hess, symmetrical in all it's propor- lions, profulent and expedious i movement, faithful in its exposition Pf character and beautiful (because Etue) in its illustrative settings. Sale pr seats tomorrow at 25, 35, 50 and F6 cents.

A HOPEFUL VIEW.
Russian Editor Says This Country
 Cannot be Other Than Friendly

St Petersburg, Feb 25.-The Novoe vremya this morning publishes long leading article regarding the re- lations existing between the United States and Russia. In considering the unfrdendly manifestations against the latter in the United States, the Novoe Vremya argues, distinction must be made between the people and the government, and it attributes the agi- tation in the press to a campaign en- gineered by the Jews. who, it has been said, even talk of building a bat teship for the mikado. The paper insists, however. that the traditional friendship for Russia occupies a firm position. in the American mind and heart and that the people cannot real ly prefer the Japanese to the Rus sians, who never have harmed them. The Novoe Vremya. on the other hand, contends that without reason the Washington government has been unfriendly to Russia, and compares the most brilliant feat of the state department-the telegraphic ratifica- tion of the Chinese open port treaty to telegraphic marriages, which, it says. sometimes are practiced in America.
 But it is idle, the article goes on, to talk now of sending United States consuls to Manchuria. Unsatisfed with his success. Secretary Hay un- dertook to secure the naturalization, the inviolability of the administration and the entity of China. Diplomat ists, photographers and publicists be- ing in doubt as to what this meant, Secretary Hay kindly announced that he did not care to have his pro- posal defined in detail. The article concludes:
 "The American government has ta- ken a position which i'll accords with the former good relations with Rus sia. and we are convinced that the conduct of the United States gunboat Vicksburg in refusing to protect and receive drowning Russians will not meet with wide sympathy in Amer ica."

HE SENT ALL THE NEWS.
Correspondence Between Man, Who
 Disliked Letter Writing, and Wife

Correspondence Between a Man, Who
 Disliked Letter Writing, and Wife.
 Knowing the aversion of her hus- band to letter writing, the wife of a Chicagoan thus admonished him on his departure on a recent eastern trip:
 Now, John, as neither nor the chill dren can accompany you, you must be eyes and ears for us, and drop us an occasional postal card, telling us any thing of interest you may see and hear. Don't forget, will you?"
 The husband promised and took his departure The next morning but one his wife received postal card contain ing the following message: Dear wife: I reached Pittsburg all right. Yours afr.
 Though disappointed she excused the brevity of the communication on the ground that her husband was doubtless pressed for time. Two days later. however, another card arrived, bearing the startling announcement: Here I am ill New York. Yours ever" Still later came another: : am indeed Ill New York. Yours"
 The wife swallowed her disappolnt- ment and, being good at retaliation, seized her pen and wrote: Dear 71s- band the children and l are in Chica- go. Yours"
 A few days later she wrote again: ''We are still in Chicago"
 In her next communication she grew "a little more enthusiastic. ane wrote:
 Dear Husband: Here we are i'll Chicago. I repeat it, sir. We are in Chicago.
 "P. S.-We are, indeed"
 In due time John reached home, and fearing that perhaps his poor wife was afflicted with some sort of de- mentia. hastened to ask the meaning of her strange messages. For answer she slipped into his hand his own pos. tai ards.-Chicago Tribune.

THE CRAZE FOR QUININE.
Useof the Drug Frequently Has Lad
 Effect Upon the Heart.


 'The use of quinine is growing lic,' Edward D. Driscou, pharamcist, tells me, 'and large number of the people possess veritable craze for it. They dose themselves with quinine on the slightest provocation, and appear to regard 1t as a universal cure all. Not only is 1t demanded for colds and levers, but for stomach troubles and a score of other ills.
 "One customer of mine recently be- came slightly nauseated after eating. and he took quinine in the full belief that it would put period to the sick feeling, while another entertains the ory that quinine is good for the kid neys and takes the drug regularly when he fancies there is anytnlng wrong with his organs. These are just a few of the foolish beliefs that many people entertain regarding quinine. I use for other physical troubles if 1t were necessary. How such beliefs have sprung up I cannot imagine, but I know persons who dose themselves with quinine for everything, from pain in their foot to pneumonia. This is the time of year when the craze for quinine is most noticeable, and I think the people ought to know that while it is good thing for cer- tain ailments, when taken under the direction of a physician, it has some what injurious effects when taken pro- miscuouslys and for any old trouble whatever. If the, heart Is weak heavy dose of quinine will have bad effect on it. producing palpitation in many cases. It will also cause head aches congestion in the nasal passages and quite few other ills.' .'-st Louis Globe-Democrat.
