Threading Needles.

My mothers sight has failed so that
threading a needle is a task almost be-
yond her. After al absence from home,
learned that a young friend had helped
her over this difficulty by threading her
needles for her. She simply took the
spool of thread and paper Of needles, and,
without breaking the thread, threaded the
string beads. When a needleful Of thread
was desired, all that was necessary was
to take the first needle draw off as long
Il thread as desired, fasten the outside
needle to the spool and leave it ready for

It IS IN THE BLOOD
Neither Liniments nor 0intments
Will Reach Rheumatism-How
Mr.. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with inhamed and aching
joints, or painful muscles; people who
shuttle about with the aid of cane or
crutch and cry, Oh at every slight jar,
are constantly asking, "What is the best
thing for rheumatism ?''
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex-
ternal applications is foolish waste of
time. The seat of the disease is in the
blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease on the skin the poison
in the circulation is increasing.
Delays in adopting sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at any moment reach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson's experience with this
obstinate and distressing affection is
that Of hundreds. He says:
"About year ago I was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains in my left
shoulder. The pains were worse in wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. tried a number
Of treatments and ointments, but they
failed to alleviate the palms."
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only surface in
dication. He adds:
CT had heard DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended as cure
for rheumatism, and when I found that
Twas getting no relief from applications,
I made up my mind that [ would try
them. Before the first box was gone I
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent, and that they were not so
severe as before. After the second box
had been used up I was entirely free
from discomfort, and have had no traces
of rheumatism since"
The change in treatment proved by
almost Immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No. 115
Greenwood street, Springfield Mass,
had found the true means for the purifi-
cation and enrichment of his blood
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine and lasting cures in
rheumatism. They do not merely deaden
the ache, but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by all
druggists.

Sienkiewicz' novel, dramatzed by STAN
islaus Stange, will play the part of
Vincius in the production of the play
at the Grand opera house this week.1
Looking back on the original produc-
ton of QUO Vadis," the story of how
it became a success seems almost like
fairy tale, in which the goddess of
success waved her golden wand over a
half dozen men who were either fail
ures or practically unheard of. and
made them wealthy and famous. Every
actor and actress the manager, the
dramatist. and every one else connected
with the first production is now on the
high road of fortune, and there were
few indeed of them who at that time
were even in comfortable circum-
stances.
1t started with Edmund Lyons. Ted
was making the rounds of the manag-
ers ON Broadway with the manuscript
Of play called Nero" but could nol
find an angel TO back him. Stanis-
laus Stange. whose only work at that
time had been a failure called 1.-The
Wooing of Priscilla" heard of this
manuscript, and it suggested to him a
dramatization of "Quo Vadis." But
STANCES name was no password to the
managers then as it is now. But there
was one manager who was in as bad
shape as the playwright-F. c. Whit
ney.
1t is not generally known. but at that
time Whitney was down and out. He
had just closed season of three fail
ures, The Normandy Wedding" Rob
Roy" and 1.-The Greek Slave" and owed

money to actors and every one else he
had ever had dealings with. But he
had faith in "Quo Vadis."
Now, you cannot stage new piece on
faith. 1t needs money much money,
more money, and then some, Here was

and | was personally acquainted with
his daughter. who married DR.. Muir,
who afterward became United States
minister to Stockholm. They had mon
ey, and l brought them and Whitney
and STANCE together. The result was
that they agreed to provide funds for
the production.
1t would seem as though this should
have settled everything but there is
one thing that DR.. Muir's money could
not buy, and that was the confidence
of the profession i'm Whitney's ability to
carry the piece through to a successful
issue. In order to secure actors and
actresses for "Quo Vadls" Whitney had
to promise them double and treble what
they could get elsewhere, and back his
promise by DR.. Muirs guaranty,
Then there was the question of get

ters. None of them wanted to deal
with Whitney-he was regarded as a
hoodoo. But Joseph Haworth had just
