 Although the struggle for popularity and success on the stage Is so difficult that many actors and actresses never realize their ambition, there Is a great financial reward for those who succeed in accomplishing an artistic triumph.
 The present theatrical season has been remarkably successful one throughout the country and the amounts made by some actors place an independent fortune at their disposal
 Of the many stars who have enjoyed success probably no two performers have met with greater financial re. ward than Richard Mansfield and Da- vld WarGeld. Both of these actors have the advantage of sharing eXten- slvely in the profits Of their shows, and their share this season is placed con servatlveIy at SluOOOO each
 Mir Mansfield has no manager to share hIs profits, and, with the eNceD- ton of one or two plays. he has not been obliged to pay any royalties. which is in itself a great saving.

WAYS TO TRwAET CHARTERS

Rudolph Spreckels believes he has perfected 8 plan to defeat muuio. pal graiers. Jt is the formation of civic auditing agency to keep close watch CD city officials from mayor down. The estimated cost is sIOO,OOO a year. If such a committee should be created, the next Uroblem-snd it would be @ most diafculg one-w0uld be to prevent collusion between the auditing agency and the city administration. II city was always sure that the auditing agency would be non-partsan or Oi opposite views from the "ins, all might be well, but city admiuistra- sious change. An auditing agency crested 10 watch Schmitz, for instance, might not be SO keen to watch the suc- cessor oi Schmtt. h fact, experience hss shown that faults that look large tn political opponents are often miuimlzed when committed by political friends and allies. That this Is so is one of the weaknesses Of human nature.
 The grai,er does not care how many investigations are carried ou, as 8 rule, so long as the investigators are of his crowd. Investigations have been encouraged by gratters confident of 8 whssswash aad dasirous of allaytng suspicion.
 Alter all is said and done, the best method ye, devised of getting rid of the grat.er is to turn him out of office OF to send aim to prison. is is unsafe to a.slus that auditing agencies will be free from the temptations Of graft and will con.iue their watchfuIness under all conditions. For every graft discovered there is a new one to take It's place. The best protection the tax payers have against grais is to acQuatut themselves with public affairs, to keep their eyes open when contracts aye le. and while they are executed; to choose for office men known to be public spirited, and to study political prob lems. n this way the taxpayers themselves become the auditing sgen. ies.-Tacoma Ledger,

Do Your Meals Fit?
Do You Feel Snug and Comfortable Around Your Waist Line After
 Hearty Meal?

Did your last meal taste deliciously good to you, and did you eat all you wanted? Could you have patted your rotundity in glee and felt proud of your appetite and of your good strong stom- ach? Do you feel rosy now because your last meal gave you no inconvenience whatever? If not, you have dyspepsia in some form, and probably never realized it.
 If you have the least trouble in your stomach after eating, no matter how lit- tle or how much you eat, there is trou- ble brewing and you must correct 1t at once.
 Most all stomach troubles come from poor, weak scanty gastric juice, that precious liquid which ought to turn your food into rich, red blood
 If you have nausea, your gastric juice is weak. If you have sour risings or belchings your food is fermenting; your gastric juice is weak. If you have loss of appetite. your gastric juice is weak. If you have a bloaty feeling of aversion to food, your gastric juice is weak.
 You need something in your stomach to supply the gastric juice which is scanty, and to give power to the weak gastric juice. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this very thing.
 Now think-one grain of one of the in- sgreuleHlS OI lHcSt WOHOerIul iltlle ldDlttS digests 5000 grains of food. They are several times more powerful than the gastric juice in a good. strong, powerful stomach. They actually digest your food for you. Besides, they increase the flow of gastric juice, just what you need to get all the good possible out of every thing you eat. You will never have that Hump of lead'' in your stomach nor any other stomach trouble after taking Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets. Then everything vou eat will be digested, it will give you strength, vim, energy and a rosy disposi- tion. You'll feel good all around your waist line after every meal and 1t will make you feel good all over
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will make YOU feel happy after eating good, hearty meal. Take one or two after eating. You'u feel fine-then your meals will fit, m matter what or when you eat.
 We want to send you sample pack age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets free of charge. so you can test them yourself and he convinced. After you have tried the sample you will be so satisfied that you will go to the nearest drug store and get a 50c box.
 Send us your name and address today and we will at once send you by mail q sample package free. Address F. A. Stu srt O., 150 Stuart Bldg, Marshall Mich.

JUDGE THOS. VERT
 IS HOLDING COURT
FINES WITNESSES WHO DELAY THE TRIAL OF CASES BY RE- MANNING AWAY FROM COURT ON TRIVIAL EXCUSES.

Athens, October 10.-(Special.) )--Judge Thomas Vert of the Decatur and Morgan county law and equity court, the youngest judge in Alabama. has been running the court here this week by interchange with Judge Speake and he has made a very fine impression on the people and the lawyers by his ability to handle the mat ters coming before him. He dispatches business very rapidly
 He assessed fines to the extent of S45 dollars today. on delinquent witnesses, who struggled into court one and two days late. He sent for a farmer, who was summoned to appear here Monday, and when the man came into court this morn ing he said that the reason he had not appeared was that he had sick wife The baliff testified that when he reached the home of the witness he found the wife in the lot milking the cows. Ten dollars was the amount of the fine.
 One young man went to Pulaski, Tenn, first Monday horse jockeying. Ten dol lars it cost him. Another boy did not come when sumomned and $l0 it was his fate to pay.
 One witness when asked a question did not answer. No sort of argument or ca joling would make him answer when it was simply plain yes and no, but a $25 fine made him hurry to open his mouth and speak the truth and nothing but tine truth. When paying time came it was amusing to see how hard the witnesses begged to be allowed to go and sin no more, but the young judge told them they had cost the county $500 by having the various cases continued and that they were getting off very light. The fines stood
 This afternoon he called before him three prisoners who had been convicted. One was a young boy F years of age, a good looking lad, who has had a rather turbulent career and has to his credit the knfing of several men, This time he was charged with having assaulted an old Confederate soldier 65 years of age and cutting him very seriously in the back, and that the cutting was followed by shooting at the daughters of the old man. The jury convicted him and Judge Vert gave him five years in the state penitentiary, and told him that his age is all that saved him 20 years. The lad had to be supported to a seat and came near fainting.
 Later the father of the boy was locked up. his bondsmen having surrendered him. as he stands charged with aiding and abetting the son in his assault
 Hody Milhouse. a negro boy, was the next to get the heavy hand of the law He said he was 9 years of age, had served term in prison for stealing He was convicted of robbing his grand father of s75 Judge Vert gave him the limit--10 years-and said to him that he felt he would make a better citizen In the penitentiary than outside.
