BOOTH AND BARRETT,
How the B,each Between These Two
Great Actors Occurred.

How the Bpeach Between These Two
Great Actors Occurred.
The great breach In the friendship
between Edwin Booth and Lawrence
Barrett occurred when Barrett was
playing ''The Man O. Airlee" in
Booths theater in New York city. The
piece did not draw. and Booth decided
to have 1t discontinued. So (as he aft
erward told of the incident he broach-
ed the subject to Barrett. who imme-
diately grew angry. do you mean to
say that can't play itT' he demanded
hotly. Booth assured him in concil-
iatory way that he gave the first part
fairly. but not the last. In a greater
passion than ever, Barrett repeated.
"Do you mean to say that I can't play
itf" Booth. still trying to not offend
him. said, Il don't think you have quite
worked into the last act" Then Bar
rett's fury burst its bounds. and he ter
minated torrent of invective with the
remark: Your fathers weakness and
your brothers crime placed you where
you are. But I will live to see you in
the gutter and will stand above you"
In spite OF this the two grew TO be
friends again and starred in the combi-
nation that drew the biggest houses of
the time.

BECOMING ATHE|TS
BUDDHIST TELLS OF CHANG.
ING SENTIMENT OF EAST
Says Christian Missionaries Leave
Many Orientals Undecided as to the
True Religion and Consequently
Many of Them Turn Atheist-Well
Known Teacher of Ceylon Speaks
On the Subject.

The hitherto happy followers of
Buddah are becoming atheists. Not
content to let them worship in their
own way, they have been given So
called instruction In the Christian re-
ligion by missionaries not capable of
teaching, says the Denver Post. Not
believing either. they are now floun-
dering in the depths of perplexity,
without religion, creed or ethical law
"The orientals have their philoso-
ply and their religion, and have had
them for thousands or years, while
the western nations were the rankest
barbarians, and 1t would be the prop
er thing for the western missionaries
to keep out of those eastern countries
and let the people worship in their
own way.
when the foreign missionaries
tear down the religion of the country
and show that it is not the proper
form of worshiping God they build
nothing in its place and their teach
ings. instead of helping men in serv-
ing their Creator, make the orientals
athelsas, believing neither in the old
religion of the east nor in the Chris
tian teachings"
This is the message brought from
faraway Ceylon by DR.. Vincent Wi
jetunge of Ceylon. who is registered
at the Brown hotel. while resting
from his travels through the Rocky
Mountain region and spreading
knowledge of his native land among
the Westerners.
"The Buddhists and Brahmins have
taken up the study of the Christian
Scriptures voluntarily, and they them
selves have done more to spread the
knowledge of the teachings of Christ
than all the missionaries that ever
visited India and the east. The Scrip
lures have been translated into the
native languages, and have been
spread broadcast.
I'VE think that the Scriptures are
wonderful and the work of the Brah-
minis has been, in measure. to recon-
cile the teachings of Christ with the
philosophy of Buddha as otherwise
the Orientals might be left without
religion through the tearing down OF
the old and substituting nothing in its
place.
Il wanted to see the Rocky Noun
tains. of which | had heard much,
and that was the principal reason of
my canning to Colorado. think that
the scenery here eclipses any place
in the world, except my own native
Ceylon, which has the most beautiful
natural scenery of any place on the
face of the earth"

A Ray of Light.

The straightest thing in nature or

straightness of an edge or tube by hold

The presidents salute consists Of
twenty-one guns, and why this partlcu
lar number was hit upon has been the
cause of much speculation. One solu-
tion, more clever than probable, is that
when the Revolution took place the ma

self; hence twenty one. Another is that

Some of the tricks of the Hindu wiz.

to an occidental master of magic who
was speaking of his oriental rivals.
This is what he says he saw Hindu

The board was requested to place his

\ SENSIBLE PLAN.
Common Sense Way TO Cure Cattarrh
of the Head Is tn Breathe Hyomei.

Common Sense Way to Cure Cattarrh
of the Head Is tn Breathe Hyomei
The only sensible way to sure ca
tarrh is to breathe a health-giving
air that will kill all cararrh germs
and soothe and heal the irritated
mucuous membrane of the throat and
lungs.
Prior to the discovery of Hyomei
the only way to do this was by a
change OF climate. But now by the
use of Hyomei. one can breathe a
medicated air that destroys all germ
life in the air passages and brings
healing antiseptics to every diseased
part of the nose, throat and lungs.
Immediate relief always follows the
use of Hyomei and, a permanent cure
is gained.
So successful has been the Hyo-
mel treatment for the cure of catarrh
in Pendleton and nelghboring towns
that Tallman G. Co, have been selling
Hyomei for some time under their
personal guarantee TO return the
money If it does not benefit. Tall
man & Co., have sold a great many
Hyomei outfits on this guarantee and
only one customer has asked for a
return This remarkable record shows
more clearly than anything else the
unusual powers Of Hyomei In curing
catarrhal troubles. If you have this
disease, you cannot afford to delay
the use of Hyomei.
The complete Hyomei outfit, con-
sisting of an inhaler. medicine drop
per, and one bottle of Hyomei, costs
only $1,O0, extra bottles SO cents

Lost the Prize,

James Crossley, noted English bib
liomaniac. hied him one memorable day
to bookstall in Shudehill market and,
spying little volume, took 1t up and
glanced carelessly through it. After
awhile he asked its price from an old
woman and was told 1t was two and
sixpence. IN give you sixpence for
it," said Crossley. NAY" replied the
poor old dame; ut cost me shlllngs" )"
Whereupon our book devourer threw it
down in disgust and retired. A gentle
man, overhearing the alteration,
stepped forward and purchased it at
the sum demanded. Crossley returned
soon after and, noticing the book had
gone, anxiously inquired what had be-
come Of it. Sold" answered the wo-
man, "for what you refused to give"
"Tell me who bought 1t, and I'll give
him 10 shillings for it!' said Crossley
eagerly. The moral is self evident

Flowers In Northern Russia.

An English traveller in northern Rus.
sia writes to the Gardeners Chronicle
that nothing surprised him more than
the universal presence of we'll grown
Towering plants in dwelling rooms.
Even in the cells of monasteries and in
the studios of city photographers far
ther north than Archangel he found
such plants as oleanders, crotons pc
largoniums and fuchsias in almost
every room. The double windows, so
necessary to keep out the cold, have a
draft tight space between them filled
with Towering plants, and it does not
seem necessary to open them for air
during the short hot summer. From
September to June the country is
buried in snow and shut in by ice. The
average temperature for January is
only 10 degrees. The July tempera-
ture, however, has an average of GO
degrees f., which is hardly to be won
dered at when it is remembered that
the sun shines twenty-five hours out
of the twenty-four.
