Madame Helen Modjeska delighted
two audiences at the Illinois Saturday

The Shakespearean tragedy of Mac
beth was given in the evening the
great actress appearing in the role of
lady Macbeth. of which remarkable
character she gave one of those artis-
tic portrayals for which she is famous
md demonstrating that, notwithstand-
ng in her judgment she has reached
the period of life when she feels she
must retire from the stage, the spark
Of the genius which has made her fa-
nous is still in her keeping. She was
superb in every phase of the charac-
ter. from that of the human, designing
and fiendish for the realization of am
bition. to the woman nature again
asserting itself. Charles ID. Her
nan made a clever Macbeth. while
William o. Hazeltine's Interpretation
Of Macduff was finished and faultless.
The remainder of the supporting COM
Dany was generally fair and the stage
accessories were rich and in keeping
with the period in which the scenes
are laid.
In the afternoon Madame Modjeska
presented Mary Stuart, one of her
strongest plays.

PERIL IN THE HAND.SHAKE.

Not long ago DR.. J. n Hirsch, Of Chicago,
said: 1.-THE most delicate perfume upon the
hands is not a sign of freedom from germs,
and the most refined are not free from dis
ease of lungs OF throat, and the germs are
rapidly spread by touching the hand that
has handled the handkerchief of one afiiict-
cd with a cold, catarrh or consumption.
The breath one inhales from the lungs OF
another may contain germs of disease You
will not only be able to resist the germs of
consumption. but many thousands Of cases
have been known where persons who were
suffering from incipient phthisis, or the
early stages Of consumption were absolutely
cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. II maintains persons nutrition
by enabling him to eat, retain, digest and
assimilate food. II overcomes the gastric
irritablity and symptoms Of indigestion,
and thus the person is saved from those
symptoms of fever night sweats, headache,
etc, which are 80 common.
An Alternative extract like DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, made Of roots
and herbs, without the use Of alcohol, will
assist the stomach in assimilating or taking
up from the food such elements as are
required for the blood. will assist the liver
In throwing of the poisons in the system.

to insult your intelligence by Offering you
a remedy which he claims is Just as good y
because he made il up himself or ten

back to war times, when the people
came out Of the pineries to fight.
About the same time Tennesseeans
were dubbed "Butternuts, on ac-
count of the color of the clothes they
wore. Gun Flints," as applied to
citizens of Rhode Island goes back to
the Dorr rebellion of 1912, when
the arms of this old description were
pulled out from the garrets-where
they had lain used for years.
Texas is the Lone Star" State,
because that.was admitted into the
Union, and is still upon the State
seal. Beefheads," the people are
called, since their chief occupation
is cattle raising. Alabamians are
LIZARDS" people of Florida Ely
Up-the-Creeks;" in Georgia they are
"Buzzards;" in Connecticut, Nut
megs," in Delaware, "Muskrats."
The people in Arkansas are
''Toothpicks," which is a playful al
fusion to the bowie knife that does
such good service in that part of the
country. An old American ballad
says:
Straight way leaped the, gallant
Fingsby
Into armor of Seville,
With strong Arkansas toothpick
Screwed in every joint of steel.
Oregon in the "Webfoot" country
because the excessive rains in winter
render its climate such as only a
webfooted animal can appreciate.
The people are called Hard Case"
the explanation to be found in the
habits of the early settlers.
The stones of the Rock Creek
bridge. at Washington, d. c., are
named after the avenues of the city
The name Pennsylvania" appears
on the keystone of the bridges arch.
Bhis fact is cited by some as the ex-
PLANTATION of why the State named
after the most peaceful of all early
American settlers, is called the
Keystone State" But better ex-
nlanation is found in the circum-
stances attending the singing of the
Declaration of independence. Six
colonies has cast their vote in the af-
Primitive; six as opposed to the
measure. John Morton, represent
ing Pennsylvania, cast the vote that
broke that tie, and by so doing he
gained for his state the honor of be-
ing the Keystone" in the arch of
liberty.

the nose. If some one is at hand to
help, let him roll the lid over the
point of a pencil and remove the
speck on a bit of cotton wound about
the point of an orange stick or the
blunt end of hairpin.
If a child is injured or stunned by
fall or blow take him at once to
the open air. Lay him flat on his
back, the head slightly higher than
the body. Put cold water or ice
about the head and prepare a hot
mustard bath for the feet. If the
child remains in a stupor it may be
necessary to apply warm water to
the body. The same treatment
should be given to an adult, though
the treatment can be more he
roic.
If child chokes, turn him quickly
and not too gently upside down, pat
ting him sharply, but not hard, upon
the back. In case of an adult bend
the body forward, face downward,
and slap smartly upon the back. If
the obstacle will not come up, jerk
the arms above the head and force
patient to hang his weight by his
hands. This treatment may start
the obstacle downward.
To pack the nose with cotton soak
ed with lemon juice will relieve nose
bleeding. If the bleeding is not too
severe wash of lemon juice will
have the desired effect. A small
syringe can be used to force the
lemon juice into the nose.
One of the quickest emetics is
mustard flour and plenty of warm
water. The patient should be made
to drink cup after cup of warm wa
ter until the mustard has produced
action.
The easiest way to relieve a fit of
fainting is to lay the patient fiat up
on his back, loosen the clothing, adj
nit plenty of air, using a fan if con-
venient, and sprinkle the face with
cold water.

the eye when it is affected. If the
particle causing the disturbance is

Kansans have been Jayhawkers sioce
the days of the Civil War, when the
guerrilla bands inaugurated a law
less method of warefare. On the
other hand, as if to atone for this
unpleasant epithet, the state has
been dubbed the Garden of the
West" on account of its great pro-
ductiveness.
Denizens of the land where the
blue grass grows, Kentucky, are
called Corn Crackers" because
rail with this peculiar name is the
game bird of that region. Some
times they are called Red Horses"
but nobody seems to know why.
When La Sale entered the Gulf of
Mexico, in 1852, he found the fort
of st. Louis and named it for Louis

territory he called Louisiana"
The inhabitants of this country orig

Nebraskians are called "Bugeaters,"

that the first business Of this ship, as
of every other ship of war Of our
country, is to fight the ships of the

is most likely, in the English channel,

"Three cheers for Captain John Paul
Jones!" cried one Of the seamen, leap
ing on a gun and waving his hat. They
were given with a mighty rush from
nearly two hundred lusty threats, the
ship being heavily overmanned for fu-
ture emergencies

I should be glad if you would join us

watch; he is familiar with the bay.
Tell him to take in the royal and the

pause, and then, bowling, he left the
deck.

there be truth in the maxim that
ship is never fit for action until she
has been week at sea, the. Ranger
might be considered as ready for any
emergency now. The crew had thor
oughly learned their stations; they and
the officers had become acquainted
with each other; the possibilities Of
the ship in different weather and on
various points Of sailing had been as
certained. The drill at quarters twice
daily and the regular target practice
with great guns and the exercises with
small arms had materially developed
the offensive and defensive possibili-
ties Of the ship.
The already warm friendship between
Seymour and Talbot, now thrown into
close association by the necessary con-
fnement of small ship, had grown
into an intimacy, and they held many
discussions concerning their absent
friends in the long hours of the night
watches. Talbot had learned through
common rumor before they sailed that
Colonel Wilton would probably be sent
to England with Lord Dunmore, whose
retirement under the vigorous policy
pursued by the Virginians under the
leadership Of Patrick Henry, who had
been elected governor, was Inevitable,
and he did not doubt but that Katha-
rine would accompany her father. He
had never told Seymour Of the plans
which had involved the destinies of
katharine and himself, and something
had restrained him from mentioning
either his hopes or his affection for
her, though time and absence had but
intensified his passion until it was the
consuming idea of his soul.
This reserve was matched by SIM
liar retcence on the part Of Seymour,
who had said nothing Of the note he
had received and had not communicate
ed the news Of his own successful suit
to his unsuspecting rival. Seymour
had much clearer apprehension Of
the situation than Talbot and, intrench-
ed in Katharine's confession, could en-
dure it without disquiet, magnanimous-
~ saying nothing which could disturb
his less favored rival.
The situation, however, was clearly
an impossible one, and that there
would be a sudden break in the friend
ship, when Talbot found out the true
state of affairs, he did not doubt. This
was grief to him, for he really liked
the young man and would gladly have
spared his friend any pain if it were
possible. However, since there was
only one Kate in the world, and she was
his, he saw no way out of the difficulty
and could only allow Talbot to drift
along blindly in his FOOLS paradise I'M
til his eyes were opened. Both the
young men were favorites with Cap
tain Jones, and he treated them in
very different manner from that he
usually assumed to his subordinates,
for Jones was a msa to be respected
and feared rather than loved
Late in the afternoon, the ship being
under all plain sail on the port tack,
heading due west, the voice of the
lookout on the main royal yard foated
down to the deck in that hail which is
always thrilling at sea and was dou-
bly, so in this instance:
"Sail, ho!'
Motioning to the officer of the deck,
Jones himself replied in his powerful
voice:
