Life Is Like a Game of Cards.

You know this life is like a
game of cards,
That each man tries to learn;
Each shuffles, cuts and deals
the pack,
And each a trump doth turn.
Some turn a high card to the
top,
While others turn low;
Some hold hand flushed with
trumps,
While others none can show.
When hearts are trumps we
play for love,
And pleasure decks the hour,
p No thought of sorrow checks
our joys,
In pleasant, rosy bower.
When diamonds chance to
crown the pack,
It's then men stake their gold
Large sums are often lost and
won
By gamblers, young and old.
When clubs are trumps look out
for war,
On ocean or on land;
For horrid deeds are often
done
When clubs are in the hand.
The last game of all is when the
spade
Is turned by the hand of time
It's Time that finishes up the
game
In every land and cline.
No matter how much a man
may make
Or how much a man may
save,
You'll fiud the spade turns VI
at last
And digs the gamblers grave

During L. T. Cooper's recent stay in Boston, 1t is estimated that sixty five thousand people talked with him and purchased his medicine. This is an average of over two thousand a day.
 His success was so phenomenal as to cause universal comment both by the public and the press. There must be a reason for this. Here is the reason given in his own words by MT Cooper when interviewed on the sub iect. He said:
 "The immense numbers of people who are calling on me here in Boston is not unusual. I have had the same experience for the past two years wherever l have gone The reason is a simple one. It IS because my medi' cine puts the stomach in good condi' tion. This does not sound unusual, but 1t is in fact the key to health. The stomach Is the very foundation of life. l attribute 90 per cent. oi all sickness directly to the stomach.
 Neither animals nor men can re main well with a poor digestive appa. ratus. Few can be sick with diges- tion in perfect condition. As a matter of fact, most men and women today are half-sick. It is because too much food and too little exercise have grad ually forced the stomach into half. sick condition. My medicine gets the stomach back where it was, and that is all that is necessary"
 Among Boston people who are staunch believers in Mir. Cooper's theory, is Mir. Frank D. Brown, of 57

 For five years I have sought re- l lief for indigestion, stomach trouble and dyspepsia, spending nearly Sll my wages with doctors and obtaining no results. l had dull pains across my back, radiating to the shoulders. I had splitting headaches, which nothing seemed to cure. There was gnawing and rumbling in my stomach and bowels. I was troubled with vertigo and dizziness, and at times almost overcome by drowsiness.
 'T felt tired and worn out all the time, my sleep was not refreshing, and I would get up in the morning feeling as weary as when l went to bed. My appetite was variable-raven- ous at times, then again nauseated at the sight of food. Sometimes my face was pale, at other times flushed. I was constipated and bilious, and had catarrhal affection in nose and throat, which caused me to hawk and spit a great deal, especially in the morning. I heard so much of the Cooper reme- dies that I decided to try them. After taking one bottle, a tapeworm 50 feet long passed from my system. I felt better almost immediately.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

"Now you like 1t and now you don't" is the way one feels about the show at Jacques this week which IS headed by MT and Mrs Mark Murphy in their amusing skit "The Coal Strike" Although the sketch IS prac- tically the same as when last seen here, nevertheless Murphy Is just as funny and gets just as big hand as though 1t was a new playlet full Of wholesome comedy Mark looks like pygmy in comparison to his Wlte and his funny make up is a big laugh in itself. Last evening he had fun at the expense of local men. When asked where he procured the pants which were wide enough to send an engine through, he replied that he had received them from Jimmie Hynes, whom they had been squeez- ing to death." Marzella and Millay, comedy bar acrobats, are good pair and their burlesque on wrestling match is of the star order Their num- Der was thoroughly enjoyed last even- ing. The Colonial quartette sing with good effect and have no horse play and that helps some. The Four teen Black Hussars have a mighty poor act which no one seems to enjoy but themselves As musicians they are anything but pleasing and their attempts at comedy are terrible. One of the. female portion of the troupe has the stage to herself for few mo- ments and,- but it is only waste ot time to talk about it. Why such acts are placed on the circuit is a mystery to the writer. They are about the poorest colored troupe that ever hit the town. Quinn & Mitchell in "The Land Agent" have some breezy dia- logue. The Astrellas and Albert Warner have singing and dancing act which is fairly good. The girls do some meritorious toe dancing while Warner does some eccentric stunts. Max Freeman, an equilibrist
 is the opening number. Max is a good looking chap.
