R.VINC'S BUCHU WATERS

II you wish to be rich in health, you
should be careful of your KIDNEYS
as a good financier is of his cash
capital. Your KIDNEYS are your
capital. Your health depends princi-
pally on them. II you keep THEM
well you may possess your health in
safety. Now by this is not meant that
good financiering for your health is to
overlook all the other organs and
merely look after your KIDNEYS.
Your other organs may need care, but
your, KIDNEYS most because they do
most. If your are sick, begin with
your KIDNEYS, because just as soon
as they are well, they will help all the
other organs to health. -.
For a great many years 1t has been

be the attraction at the Frazer next

out the country for the past five years

The scenes of this beautiful comedy
drama are laid in the mountains of
Colorado, and the author has treated
a peculiar phase of western life in
a fresh manner and has depicted a
type of western mountaincer in whose
unrelenting nature and peculiarities
the mountains are mirrored.
"a Thoroughbred Tramp" bids fair
to be one of the best comedies that
has been presented at the theater this
season, the company carrying all the
necessary scenery and paraphernalia

NEW YORK LETTER

New York, April 2S.-The city has
number Of old ladies' when 1t loves
to consider its wards. They stand on
the familiar corners and sell apples
and other fruit, and have done 1t for
many years, many of them having
grown old at their posts. They are
known to many thousands of people
who pass them In the morning on
their way to business, and repass
them at nightfall on their way for
home. Some of these old ladies
squatted at the positions they secur-
ed, and stood their ground against
all corners until there came a general
acquiescence in their occupancy of
their places as by right of possession.
One woman has newspaper sta
tion at Nassau and Fulton streets; she
stands in the gutter, with her basket
against lamp post. She mapages to
have her heels unmolested by the
trucks, and is as much the owner of
the spot as though II had been deed
ed to her in fee simple. All the other
sellers of papers recognize her rights,
and never attempt to sell any papers
within the circle surrounding her, and
constituting her territory.
Another old lady squatted some
time ago on the st. Paul building, but
she sells just so many every day, be-
cause scores OF newsboys sell papers
to people before they reach her. An
other has a stand on the st. Paula
churchyard corner. The church
authorizes her to do this and have let
her sell rosy-cheeked apples there for
year after year, and she stands there
| In the hottest sun or the coolest wind.
and exchanges her apples, which are
always the very best, for silver or PEN
nies. The st. Paul people are very
generous, and allow many deserving
old people to use the outside portion
OF their property to make a living.
The government has also been very
kind. and has allowed quarters for
making sales to many an old woman
until her name has become a house

ing business near, and sometimes for
all the city.
But sometimes they have to he
misplaced, as Auntie Jane Noonan
was the other day, when an under
ling, at the order of Secretary Shaw
told her to move on from the en-
trance of the barge office. This is a
very crowded place, and "Auntle
Jane" was in the way. She thinks
the authorities wanted her business

Merit VS. Heredity.

| 1t is announced to be the policy oil
the president to exercise his preroSa
| tive of appointing cadets at large tC
West Point and Annapolis only in the
cases of applicants who are sons of
military or naval officers. Ii is TO be
| hoped that this assertion is untrue. or
| that if il is true, Mr. Roosevelt will
promptly abandon such an idea as both
unjust and un-American.
Presidential appointments, like all
others TO the two great national
schools. should be based on merit and
fitness alone. The son of a general or
an admiral ought to be treated exactly
as any other candidate, says the Phila-
delphia Bulletin.a This country does
not want TO see even the beginning in
small way of u hereditary military
caste: and assuredly the efficiency of
the army and navy will not be promot-
ed by granting commissions to men
solely on the ground that they had
fathers in the service.
This proposition seems so Self-eyi-
dent that it should be hardly necessary
TO state it. Neither Grant. Sherman.
Sheridan nor Hancock-to use only Il
few illustrations where many might be
cited-came of distinguished military
stock. Each worked his way TO the
front by his own ability and courage:
none has left son who has shown
that he possessed the traits that strik-
ingly marked his father.
The military and naval establishment
of the United States ought TO be Off
cered by the best talent that can be OBJ
tained-and the history of this coun-
try shows that Immediate ancestry
plays a small part i'll such matters.
whether the occupation followed is
that of arms or is purely civil One
of the chief causes of the inefficiency
of the British army. as this was glar-
ingly shown in the Boer war. where the
sturdy burghers held out so long
against ten times their numbers, was
conceded 10 be the lack of capacity on
the part of the officers who had been
chosen and promoted because they
were sons of somebodies." No snch
system will ever be regarded with APP
