MADE RIDER A HERO
eAlkY MULE GAVE SOLDIER
 FIRST STEP IN CAREER,
Nssterlitzky's Animal Refused to Re. treat and Charged the Enemy, Action Turning Defeat
 Into Victory.

One of the central figures in the riots and battles between Americans and Mexican miners at Cananea was Lieut.. Col. Kasterlitzky of the Mexican army.
 This daring fighter is not a Mexi- can, but, as his name implies, a native of Poland. Coming to the United States at 15 years of age he gained a good knowledge of English and drifted into Mexico.
 There he joined the Mexican regu- lar army, and now, at 45 years of age. Is known as one o1 the most intrepid soldiers the republic has.
 It has been claimed that Raster. litzky was trained in the United States army, but officers of the department Of Colorado say that he never was in the army. His love of personal lib erty and his instincts as a soldier of fortune was developed here
 Col. Kasterlitzky is tall, wiry, strongly built man, trained in all the art of his calling, and one of the best shots in the Mexican army. He is probably the best man in that country to cope with a mob.
 The colonel, who is Pole of noble blood. came to the United States at an early age and enlisted in the reg ular army While stationed at Fl Paso, so the story goes, he struck an officer of the army for faneied in- suit. Knowing the severe punishment which would be visited on him he fled across the Rio Grande into Mexico. He found it impossible to get a com mission in the Mexican army, and, as the privates in that country are re- eruited from the criminal classes, he could hardly enlist
 Knowing all about horses he was finally attached to the army in the capacity of a horseshoer When on a campaign in Sioua his company was attacked by a band of Yaqui Indians. The commanding officer of the MeXi- cans ordered u.asterly retreat. The horseshoer was mounted on mule, which, with true obstinacy. refused to retreat, but broke into a gallop. head ed toward the enemy. KasterlitZky could not check his steed, so he drew pistol and shouted for the Mexican soldiers to follow him. They did so, and the enemy was put to flight. For this act of involuntary yalor Raster litzky was made an officer and has steadily advanced until he is now colonel.
 Once at Magdalena, in the state of Sonora, where the colonel was in com mand of the barracks, he entertained an American friend, The next morn ing, while dressing, the visitor heard some gun shots When he met his host at breakfast he asked the cause of the firing, and the colonel told him he had just had three soldiers shot. He was asked what they were charged with, and replied: Nothing in par ticular. We just shot them to keep up discipline e'-Indianapolis Star.

Edible Menu Card.

In London the latest thing is Dill of eat that you may finish your meal on. The sheet on which it is printed is the sugar paper used on the bottom of macearoons, while the lettering is cake frosting. The London caterer who invented" the edible menu card has been honored by the patronage of the king. The king commanded the caterer to teach his chef to make the edible novelty, and the kings chef produced it for dinner at Windsor castle. There was much laughter as the kings guests discovered that the menu cards" were good to eat They promptly ate them. It is said that the only bad thing about the cards is the bad French, and that is quite di. gestible.

Site for Charlemaune.

Charlemagne, though inferred at Aix-la- -Chapelle, and regarded as an ancestor by the German emperor, is nevertheless claimed as Frenchman by the majority of modern Gauls. Their interest in the great emperor, however, does not extend to the point of providing definite site for his monument, which for 20 years has occupied a temporary wooden pedestal on the banks of the Seine, within the precincts of Notre Dame A movement is now on foot to have an appropriate pedestal set up for the statue, which is covered with waterproof canvas.

THEY CURE RHEUMATISM
4 esrticuiarly Painful Form Of This Disease Yields to pr. Williams
 Pink Pills.

of the many forms which rheumatism fakes, that which is popularly known as sciatic rheumatism probably tortures its r;ctim more than any other. That Dr. williams Pink Pills have cured this stnbborn as well as painful trouble is a fact proven by the following statement, and no sufferer who reads this can af ford to let prejudice stand in the way ot irving these blood-making pills.
 Rheumatism is now generally re. copnized as disease of the blood. Dr. Williams Pink Pills make actually make-pure blood. When the blood is nnre there can be no rheumatism. Mrs. Thomas Bresnehan, of 54 Mill street. Watertown, N. Y, says:
 My trouble began with a severe cold which I took about week before Christmas in 1904. l began to have rheumatic pains in my back and limbs and after time I couldn't straighten m. I suffered the most awful pain for months and much of the time was un. able to leave the house and had to take hold of chair in order to walk and sometimes 1 could net stand up at all
 1.-The disease was pronounced sciatic rheumatism and, although I had good physician and took his medicine faith. fully, I did not get any better. After some six weeks of this terrible pain and suffering I tried Dr. Williams Pink Pills and that is the medicine that cured me After a few boxes the pain was less intense'and l could see decided i'm. provement. 1 continued to take the pills until 1 was entirely cured and I have ngTer had any return of the trouble"

Matinee and Night saturday.

"San Toy" hardly requires a word
said about 1t. Its name and music
are known to every theatre-goer in
the country, and its appearance here
at The Kentucky Saturday will be
welcome news. There is hardly any
doubt but that this attraction will
be one of the most important to APP
pear here this season. The compa-
ny is a large one. which besides the
well known principals, comprise a
chorus of pretty girls who have been
chosen as much for their voices as
their beauty, and who dance and sing
like hours in Turks dream of par
adise. There are twenty-four music
al numbers, which have the ring OF
originality. "San Toy" is amusing,
to the highest degree and its humor
is of the kind that will make people
uncheck their rlsibilities without
fear Of bruising their dignity. The

the Countess Won hatfield is dupli-

al comedy. The countess is justly
featured, so her press notices state,
upon her artistic worth and winning
personality, though her management

no mean asset in a stage career. The

Little Duchess the same magnificent
dressing which distinguished the

The musical comedy is in three
acts and is well supplied with some
twenty musical numbers, the longev-
ity of the attraction being due large
ly to the tuneful score. The follow

The CIanSnan.

The appearance of The Clansman
next Friday evening will undoubtedly
be the dramatic event of the present
season in Paducah, as il has proven
to be in other Southern cities where
the dramatization of Mr.. Thos. Dix
on's remarkable novels of the recon-
struction period has been seen. The
Clansman received its initial produc-
ton in Norfolk. Va. early in the
season and from the start the South
ern tour of the play has been one
continual triumph for the author
playwright, the cast and the manage
ment. The play was dramatized by
Mr.. Dixop from his two famous nov
els, "The Leopard's Spots,' and
"The Clansman" and staged by John
Stapleford under management of the
Southern Amusement company
The play is given in four acts and
five scenes and the lines are said to
be sketched with masterful genius.
The following players appear in the
large and talented cast. Franklin
Richie, VIM. II. Tooker. Chas. Avery.
X. G.. Thomas. Violet Mersereau,
Mabel Browneli and Alberta Lee
Scenically TIE play is massive and
impressive and all essential details
have been carefully observed under
the supervision of Mr.. Dixon.

"The Clansman" and ''The Loop
ards Spots" are daring books, dar-
ing in their basic idea. and daring in
their development. "Uncle Toms Ca
bin" did much towards precipitating
cruel war. THE Clansman" is do
ing as much towards the perfect uni
son of the union. Intensely sectional
in its scenes, "The Clansman" con-
tains not one word to stir up sec
tional controversies. II is the simple
story of a brave. proud people, hui
inflated TO the bitter dregs, rising
victorious over the desolation of
war. the gross stupidity and deviltry
of military despotism and the bar
barlsm of the black terror. 1t is a
tale that sends a thrill of pride
through all American hearts. The
fact that "The Clansman" is one of
the six best selling books of the
country shows that it is being read
east and west and north and south.
The press of the north is as enthu-
siastic as the south and the book
seems equally popular in all sections.
It is an epoch-making novel, preg-
nant with possibilities for the flu
ture, which will be intensified by the
presentation in dramatic form. The
play is even more powerful than the
book and the visual representation
increases its potency.
While the first performance was
given in the south, THE Clansman"
is now playing in New York at the
Liberty theater and from there II
will be sent over the entire country.
