SOLVED HER PROBLEM.
 They had been married about six months and had been boarding at home tinufng such an arrangement long, but in order to have an opportunity to select their home, and to furnish it with sufficient deliberation to be sure of making wise selection. They had little capital for their start, but ex- ceIlent prospects, and the young wife meant that every penny of their ex- penditure should be put into things that would be good enough to use a few years hence "when Will was ready to build" the permanent home they were looking forward to owning.
 COTTAGE HOME.
 They secured small cottage which had been moved to make way for a more pretentious structure, and con. graduated themselves that since il was in such shape that it had to be completely done over inside and out they could have the colorings to suit their own taste.

 A bolt of simple drapery muslin was made into straight draw curtains for all the windows, and dark green shades were bought for use when it was de- sired to shut out the light, though these were seldom lowered. For the living-room. and dining room they bought the necessary pieces of furniture in dark stained wood, in simple hand made styles, testing every chair by sitting in it to find whether it was what chair ought to be- thoroughly comfortable-and adding | loose cushions for seats and backs that could be taken outdoors to be beaten, brushed and stunned. The dining | chairs had rush seats in their dark frames, and simple side table took | the place of the sideboard, which they planned to buy later.

MIX THIS AT HOME.

The follow ing simple homemade mixture
is said to readily relieve and overcome any
form of Rheum atIsm by forcing the Kidneys
to filter from the blood and system all the
uric acid and poisonous waste matter, re
lieving at once such symptoms as backache,
weak kidneys and bladder and blood dis
eases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to make,
and is said to be absolutely harmless, to the
stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredients
from any good pharmacy: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound kar-
gon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in
bottle. and take teaspoonful after each
meal and again at beadtime.
This simple mixture is said to give prompt
re lief, and there are very few cases of Rheu-
matism and Kidney troubles it will fail to
cure permanently.
These are all harmless, everyday drugs,
and your druggist should keep them in the
prescription Department.; if not have him
order them from the wholesale drug houses
for you, rather then fail to use this, if you
are afflicted.

Message from Mars a Fine Plav.

"A Message from Mars" as presented
at the Grand Theatre last Friday night
was one of the finest plays ever seen in
henderson. it is a strong play with a
moral, If it is not a great play with a
mission. 1t il a powerful sermon against
the sin OF selfshness and no one can wit
ness it without being made to feel better
and more concerned in the affairs OF his
felIowman. Beside teaching a splendid
lessOn-the principle OF ''OtherdonI
play is one OF exceptional merit from a
dramatic and artistic point of view and
was cleverly presented by a we'll bal
anced and stroug acting company
MIR. Edward j. Hayes. as Horace
Parker" the selfish man, showed himself
a capable actor and did his work admi-
rably. His support was good Mr.. Wal
ter II. ClaxtOn who essayed the role of
the Messenger from Mars" the next
most important character being worthy
OF special mention. He played his part
perfectly and in looks, word and act he
was awe-inspiring and tremendously i'm
pressive.
AS play "A Messenger from Mars" is
one that is greatly enjoyable. There is
nothing in it to offend. A pretty love
story runs Throughout the play and the
audience is kept in state of tense inter
est as one climax follows another. The
electrical effects and special scenery were
very fine the exposition of the power of
dynamics being excellently carried out.
The story Of the play is enticing, and
permeated throughout with immense in
terest. 1t is without strain or striving
after effect. In literary smoothness,
cleancut contrasts and dramatic situa-
lions, few plays recently appearing here
are worthy OF comparison. Though it is
a powerful dissertation on selfishness,
the audience is kept constantly chuck
ling, not with the laughter of buffoonery,
but with the smile that greets a WITH
cism.
Manager Aronson has made his pat
rons debtors to him by giving them
such high-class attractions as "A Mes
senger from Mars'-shows that are
worth while and one does not feel like
he has been held up after parting with
his money to see.

johnson, Smith & Wesson and

effected by means of boring out a

same way he went in the burglar
filed the lock off the side door (being
able to get at it from the inside)
