The Merchant of Venice.

On Friday evening, December Goth,
the senior class of the Morris high
school, aided by juniors, will present
'tThe Merchant of Venice up to date,
at the armory.
This play is a modernized edition of
Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. The
characters, most scenes and the main
threadwork of the plot are the same
as the original, altho many details
are different.
One of the new and also the prin-
cipal feature introduced into the play
is a Thanksgiving football game. On
this game centers the entire plot OF
the play and furnishes Shylock his
mode of revenge. This play will be
pleasing to all lovers of drama be-
cause of it's similarity to the real
Merchant of Venice. and will please
others because of the modern elements
introduced. The cast of characters is
as follows:

Former Comptroller Edward NJ
Grout of New York city tells pretty
little Christmas story.
He said that little girl relative OF
his was visiting her grandmother on
Thanksgiving day. Already the child
had begun to speculate on what Santa
Claus was to bring her at Christmas
time, and, as children especially girls
will do when they are at the home
Of an indulgent friend, she began to
rummage through closets and drawers
In the course Of her investigation
she came upon brand new white muff.
1t was the very thing she had wanted
and she knew that Santa Claus chief
purchasing agent-grandma-h OBJ
tanned it for her.
Taxed with it, grandma admitted the
truth.
But" she 9aid, You must forget ali
about it until Christmas day."
That night as she was being put tD
bed the child astonished her mother by
adding this to her evening prayer:
"Please. God, make me forget all
about the little white muff Santa Clau@

Keeping the Kidneys Well Has Kept
rIany Morris People Well. Il.

Many Morris people find that bad
weather brings on a dull pain in the
back, or rheumatic aching, neuralgia,
nervousness, irritability and weak
ness. If, when you get wet or take
a cold, it ''settles on the Kidneys"
and there is shivery, chilly sensa-
ton in the back, it shows kidney
weakness, which is often the begin
ming of disease. Doan's Kidney Pills
should be used persistently until the
chilly feeling is gone, and the flow
of urine is natural Doan's Kidney
Pills have saved Morris people much
suffering.

minnesota Butter Output.

The butter output of Minnesota has
almost doubled in fifteen years, and
the total expense of manufacture is
less than it was then. The develop
ment of the creamery system has in
creased the capacity of plants and led
to greater economy.
Figures complied by the state dairy
and food commission make an in
teresting comparison between the
creamery output of 1889 and of 1904,
the last year for which there are COM
plete records. The butter output of
creameries in 1889 was 44,OO7, 1888
pounds and the cost of manufacture
to the creameries was $3.50, 1895, Or
21 cents a pound.
In 1904 the total output was 78, 1885,
459 pounds, and the expense was only
1884 1892 "a, Or less than in 1889. 1t
amounted to IL cents pound.
This saving went into the pockets
of the farmers who supplied the
creameries, and they also gained by
the higher price secured for Minnesota
butter in the eastern markets. In
1889 creamery patrons were paid for
milk the sum of IS, 959, 914.55, and the
average price paid for butter fat was
17.5 cents a pound. In 1904 the total
paid to patrons was $12, 1904, 460.55, and
the average paid for butter fat was
1914 cents a pound.

The AImIahtx Dollar

A recent headline Rule of the Dol
lar" has suggested the inquiry, Who
originated the familiar phrase 1.-THE
almighty dollar?" 1t was Washington
Irving in The Creole Village" which
he published in 1887. The phrase be-
came so popular and excited so much
controversy in consequence of doubt
whether the adjective was irreverent
that its author had to explain eighteen
years later that he had intended mo
irreverence, even to the dollar. which
he is well aware is becoming daily
more and more an object of worship"
dollar" is certainly one Of the worlds
great words now, and it is difficult to
realize that 1t only means "valleyer,"
the "thaler' having been named after
the Joachimsthal, in Bohemia. in whose
valley it was first coined in the six.
teenth century.-1.ondon Chronicle.
