gard, where he could also indulge in
a little pathos and a little emotional
stress. He never sought to trade on
his peculiar ability nor allow it to mar
row his range Of usefulness.
Mr.. LeMoyne was born in Boston. of
French extraction, in 1881. He began
his stage career In Portland twenty
one years later. He was playing at
the Howard Athenaeum In Boston
when the civil war broke out, and he
at once enlisted in the 18th Massachu-
sets Volunteers. He rose to the rank
of captain, and fought till a severe
wound at South Mountain forced his
retirement. After his recovery he
again resumed his profession as an
actor, continuing it till his illness four
years ago. 1t is said that he played
at one time or another every male part
in Hamlet except hat of the Dane
himself and Laertes. He was promi-
nent in Saints and Sinners, in Sweet
Lavender, and in many other come
dies. His range is thus seen to have
been wide, his mind agile and able to
keep abreast of the times, and adapta-
bic to the changes in taste. He was
one of those well-rounded players that
are becoming so rare, and his death
marks wildly their decrease.

GENTLER RUSSIA.

Just now the chief associations in
public mind with Russia are those of
death, failure, anarchy and hopeless
misery. 1t is good to have a pleasant
er vision brought before one, giving
glimpses of the gentler side of the
prevails among the Russian country
folk Of giving aims in the Name of
Christ"
Universal sentiment makes it a sin
to turn a petitioner away. A mendi-
cant bows low to the ground before a
house and murmurs, For Christ's
Sake" However meager the store of
that household, something is bestowed
upon the beggar, always with the re-
Spouse, For Christ's Sake"
Nearly every bakers shop has its
bin where stale bread is put, and from
which the needy are invited to take
For the Love Of Christ" There are
many poor Russian families who are
too proud to beg; for their benefit a
sort Of secret charity is practiced. A
tap on the window and the words,
For Christ's Sake" causes the needy
person to open the door of his hut.
No nj is to be seen, but there are
footprints in the snow, and a piece of
bread is on the ledge of the window.
No people treat aliens more kindly
than do the Russian peasants. During
the last Turkish war, when burghers
and street boys were casting mud and
stones at the poor Turkish prisoners,
the mujiks offered bread and coppers.
and even took them to their village
homes as hired laborers. At first the
peasants were greatly perplexed as to
whether it was allowable to share their
meals with infidels, but their pity
conquered prejudice, and it became Il
common sight to see representatives
of the two belligerent nations eating
amicably at the same table.

Idaho Joins.

Fraser, Idaho, Nov. 27.-(Special)
Mrs. Martha j. Lee has given for
publication the following statement
concerning Dodd's Kidney Pills:
II was down with Rheumatism three
times" she says, land each time
Dodd's Kidney Pills helped me. The
last time they cured me, and now I
am able to get around and do all my
work. though 1 am ifty-eight, and I
can walk to Sunday School every Sum-
day Before | took Dodd's kidney Pills
L was so bad 1 could use neither hand
nor foot. / shall keep Dodd's Pills on
hand all the time"
Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid
crystallizing in the muscles. Healthy
kidneys remove all Uric Acid from the
blood. Diseased Kidneys cannot re-
move this acid, which collects In the
blood and poisons every vein and ar
terry. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure Rheu-
matism by curing the Kidneys: by heal
ing and strengthening them, so that
they can rid the blood of all impuri-
ties.

Sympathy.

One afternoon last summer there en-
tered a hospital In the poorer quarter
of Philadelphia a little girl &C about 8
years, bearing in her arms a iox terrier
whose forefoot had been crushed by a
heavy wagon. To the attendant who tells
the story the little girl explained that
she desired to have the doctors Elk the
doggy's foot" The physicians were for
refusing the case at first, but in view Of
the great distress of the y%oungster, they
finally permitted their good nature to get
the better of them. Chloroform, instru-
ments and bandages were produced, and
a neat operation was performed, the
child bravely assisting.
"Now," said one of the doctors, "you
may take the dog home with you"
The little ones eyes widened. "Oh,"
she explained, sit amt mine. I jest
found it, an 1 think you oughter take
care of it."
And off she went. leaving the dog In
their custody.-Harper's Weekly.

PROTECTION FOR VINES.

Many who have climbing vines
around tie house have set varieties
that ought not to have been planted.
The climate may be too cold for GER
tain tender vines, and it will. be i'm
possible to winter them with success.
The best plan is to have vines that
are entirely hardy in your climate.
The h-oneysuckies, the American ivy
and most of the heavily-wooded sorts
are hardy, or 50 nearly SO that they
need only a rsound of earth around
the base to csrry them through Sc
we're winters. The clcmatis family is
readily protected, as the tops usual
" die back. 81 that only care of the
roots Is needea. which is readily Civ
N by the Mound of earth, and over
this some oar half-rotted manuSe
free from straw.
In some sections it is. the custom
to wrap tender vines and shrubs in
straw. There is no decided objection
to this If the top is left open so that
q circulation Of air will pass over the
shrub, and II one is sure no mice will
get in near the bottom to gnaw the
tender shoots. The plan OF laying
over ths parttally-tender vine and cov-
