|SHUBERTS MAY QUIT
THEATER SYNDICATE.
Noted Managers May Open War on Klaw
& Erlanger-Demands Con-
ceSSiOnS

New York, June 19.-For the first time
since there has been talk Of a break be-
tween the Shubert Bros. and the firm Of
Klaw & Erlanger, head of the theatrical
syndicate, information was given out to-
day from an official source which means
that there will be this week either an
open rupture or a patching up of differ
ences.
Lee Shubert said today that within
the week he will go to the Office of the
syndicate to make his bookings, and will
then learn just what the big firm in
tends to do with him.
The general feeling is that the Klaw
& Erlanger firm are in no friendly mind
toward the Shuberts. but the syndicate
has so many fights on it's hands now that
it will concede something in order to
pacify them. On the other hand, it is
conjectured that the big people will not
be ready to be friends, because they will
by SO doing encourage other young man
ayers to similar ''pernicious activity and
independence"

For Hen and Chicks.

While there are several forms Of
coops for the old hen and her chicks,
says the Indianapolis News, the one
built on the well-known lines, a full
span is generally considered the most
desirable, although there are several
ways Of improving this old affair. One
of the main troubles with the old coop
rious defect when one considers how
harmful dampness is to young chicks.
This may be prevented as we'll as pre-
venting the warping Of the boards If
the two strips placed across the top
are Tapped, as shown at Fig G in the
illustration.
Then ventilation may be supplied
by placing a number of small holes
in the peak of the roof at the back
and in front, covering a similar place
with fine wire netting, doubled as
shown in the illustration and at the
point B. This wire will keep out YER
min as we'll. The lower part Of the
coop is so arranged that a small door
may be readily opened when it is nee
essary to let the old hen out, and yet
she cannot get it loose herself; the
Stats are placed far enough apart so
that the chicks can go in and OUT at
will and they should be placed wide
apart so that no change will need to
be made as the chicks grow A little

SAVED CHIlD'S LIFE.
Rem arkab1e Cure of Dropsy by Dodd's

N1uuGy
Sedgwick Ark, June 19.-The case
Of W. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith
er makes the following statement:
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swol-
len to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good and
two or three people said his days were
short, even the doctors, two of the best
in the country, told me he would not
get better. 1 stopped their medicine
and at once sent for Dodd's Kidney
Pills. [ gave him three Pills day,
one morning, noon and night, for eight
days; at the end Of the eighth day the
swelling was all gone, but to give the
medicine justice, I gave him eleven
more Pills. l used thirtyfive Pills in
all and he was entirely cured. I con-
slider your medicine saved my child's
life. When the thirtyfive Pills were
given him, he could run, dance and
sing, whereas before he was an invalid

FOOD IN SERMONS.

Feed the Dominic Right and the Ser

A conscientious, Woodworking and
eminently successful clergyman writes:
Il am glad to bear testimony to the
pleasure and increased measure Of eff
cheney and health that have come to
me from adopting Grape-Nuts food as
one of my articles Of diet.
For several years was much dis
tressed during the early part of each
day by indigestion. My breakfast, usu-
eggs, seemed to turn sour and failed
to digest After dinner the headache
and other symptoms following the
breakfast would wear away, only to
return, however, next morning.
Having heard of Grape-Nuts food, I
finally concluded to give it a fair trial.
I quit the use Of oatmeal and eggs.
and made my breakfasts of Grape
Nuts, cream, toast and Postum. The
result was surprising in improved
health and total absence of the dis
tress that had, for so long a time,
followed the morning meal. My diges-
ton became once more satisfactory.
the headaches ceased, and the old feel
ing Of energy returned. Since that
time, four years ago, [ have always
had Grape-Nuts food on my breakfast

TO RECONSIDER PREMIUMS
Royal Arcanum Executive Council Will
Meet June 2o for Hearing of
Big Protest.

New York, June 19.-The revolt in the
Royal Arcanum over the proposed in
crease in the assessments has quickly
spread until it involves every jurisdiction
in the order.
The demand for a reconsideration by
the supreme council of the whole ques-
ton of the cost of insurance has become
so universal that the executive commit
tee has decided to hold a special session
in Boston June %.
One of the old-line insurance compa-
MES, it is rumored, has laid aside $780,
900 to be devoted to the disruption of the
Royal Arcanum. There is no proof of
the truth of the rumor.
On one point there seems 10 be a gen
eral agreement of opinion among those
who oppose the new rates-namely, that
they will practically eliminate from the
order all the old men now in it, and will
keep all old men from joining.

The PO1Ied Jersey.

Polled Jerseys are simply Jerseys

Keep a Sheep Dog.
Every farmer who has a flock Of if
ty or more sheep ought to keep good
shepherd dog. He is worth a big price
in the first place, and will earn his
cost every year in saving sheep and
lambs and in doing the work of a man
Ihe1r intelligence is almost human and
they will take sole care Of a flock Of
sheep, spending every day and night
With them If allowed to do so. 1t is
better, however, to put the sheep in an
Enclosure at night, and relieve the dog
from the care Of watching them. In
the morning he may be sent out with
| them, and he will herd them on any
field Of land Or keep them within any
bounds indicated.
The fidelity Of the shepherd dog is
| remarkable. In Colorado one night
last winter a herder brought his focks
and hurried to his cabin to cook HIM
self some supper, for he was more than
usually hungry. But he missed the
dog, which usually followed him to the
cabin Of an evening to have her sup
per. The herder thought it rather
strange, but made no search for the
dog that night. But when he went
down to the corrals the next morning
he found the gate open and the faith
full dog standing guard over the focks.
The herder in his haste the night be-
fore had forgotten to close the gate,
| and the dog, more faithful than her
| master, had remained at her post all
night, though suffering from hunger
and thirst
On another occasion this same dog
was left to watch flock Of sheep near
| the herder's cabin while the herder
got his supper. After he had eaten
| his supper he went out to where the
sheep were and told the dog to put
the sheep in the corral This she re-
| fused to do, and, although she had
no supper, she started off over the
| prairie as fast as she could go. The
herder put the sheep in the corral and
went to bed. About midnight he was
awakened by the loud barking Of a dog
down by the corral. He got up,
| dressed himself and went down to the
| corral, and there found the dog with
band Of fifty sheep which had
strayed off the previous day without
| the herder's knowledge; but the poor
dog knew it, and also knew that they
ought to be corraied, and she did it.

1t is said that the freight should have
taken the siding to allow the passenger
to pass, but orders were somehow dis
regarded. The Workmen, not being reg
ular passengers, had boarded the baggage
car and engine. When the crash came
the more fortunate, who were on the en-
CINE, jumped or were thrown from the
train, and were only injured.

wrecked passenger train directed their

Two Relief Trains Sent.
A messenger hurried to the nearest
telegraph station to summon help from
Westminster. There all the physicians
in the town responded to the call and
were hurried to the scene of the wreck.
By this time another relief train was on
the way from Baltimore.

a thousand people met the funeral train.

CHANCE TO DRINK PERSIAN WINE
It Tastes of Hemp and Is Quick in Action
Some Here

A country which manufactures wine
in large amount but consumes very little
is Persia. Recently some Persian wine
has been coming into the American mar
ket, and it is distinguishable by the taste
of hemp.
The Persian wine Of Shiraz is cele-
brated in the poetry of the east. This
wine is powerful and somewhat astrigent
and is not SO agreeable to European taste
as the lighter wines produced in Hama
dan.
Besides hemp, lime and other ingredi-
ents are added to Persian wine to in
crease its pungency and strength; for the
wine that soonest intoXicates is counted
the best, and the lighter and more deli
cate kinds are held in little esteem among
Mohammedans.
The principal vineyards are in the en-
virons of Shiraz and are situated at the
foot of the mountains TO the northwest
of the town, where the soil is rocky and
the exposure extremely favora ble.-New

Knives may be brilliantly polished
IL they are rubbed with powdered
charcoal
Ashes will remove stains on crock
cry. They purify and dry the contents
OF a dustbin and so keep a house
healthful.
After cleaning for the summer get
rid Of heavy hangings and see that
white curtains are spick and span.
To remove grease from a papered
wall dip a piece of flannel in spirits
Of wine, gently rub the soiled part
over once or twice and the grease will
disappear.
The difficulty Of removing old putty
from window sash is easily over

over the putty, which will thus be rem
dered soft, when it may easily be re-
