Penalty OF Politene...

The "tradesman" has his troubles as
well as his next door nelghbor, the
business man." One day last week a
wholesale fish dealer in Fulton market
was approached by a fashionably
dressed woman. who, after asking the
price, decided to buy a pound Of
smelts. Although it was not custom
airy to cater to retail trade, to be con-
genial he decided to oblige her.
Il would like to have them cleaned,
ii you please" she said.
The fishman cleaned them.
ooh, yes" the woman considerably
remarked after looking them over,
Twill you kindly take all the bones
out?"
"Certaiuly," said the man. But he
said things to himself as he went be-
hind the icebox and extracted the
bones.
After fifteen minutes labor he wrap
.aed the smelts in q neat parcel, which
he handed the
II am SO much obliged to you" she
said. "You see, my cat absolutely re-
fuses to eat fish IL they are bony."
AS the ~fashionably gowned woman
walked out the fishman said some more
things.-New York Press.

Pale, Weak,
AnaemiC Girls.

a NAEMIA or bloodlessness is indi-
~ Gated by paleness of the lips, the
gums and eyelids, and is most frequent
ly found in girls and young women.
Other symptoms are deficient appe-
tite, impaired digestion, irritable tenn
per, sh~ortness of breath, dizziness,
fatnting, headache, easily fatigued, de-
preston and dependency.
The blood is lacking in the life sus-
tanning power which is necessary to the
proper working of the bodily organs,
and can only be restored by the use
of such a blood-forming preparation as
Dr.. A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills.
On account of the way in which DR..
A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills enrich the
blood and build up the system, they arr
beyond doubt the most effective treat
ment for anaemia and similar wasting
disease that was ever compounded. Note
your increase in weight While using 1t.

Linotype IN OPERATION
a Machine OF Seeming Human Capa-
bilities Installed for Work in
The Capital Office.

La the installation OF q %lineotYpe
machine, The Capital has taken
another step in the advancement Of
its facilities to serve the public in
the best possible u y less
rapid machine, which has been in
operation in the Office for several
years, does not meet with the re-
quirements of the business and it is
being su%pplanted with the linotype.
The latter nearly approaches human
capabilities as the result Of its
mechanism and in the hands OLA
competent operator, such as we have
engaged in the person of j. w. Louis,
it will do the work of tive men set
ting type 10y hand.
In the work Of the machine type
is not used, but little brass devices,
known as matrlxes on which is cut
the face OF the letter, and after a
line is assembled from, it is cast a
solid line of type. The machine is
operated on the same plan as a type
writer and with practically the same
amount of speed. After printing
from the slugs, as the solid line is
termed, they can be land away for
future use, or being through with
them they are thrown back into the
melting pot and used over again.
With this machine a new face Of type
is used for every job turned out on
it and this always assures a clean
and neat face to print from In the
course Of few weeks the machine
will be used to set the type on The
Republican and the neat appearance
can then be Judged. AT the present
time there is an immense amount
of composition to he done on the Job
side of the office which has been
waiting the arrival OF the machine.
The business OF The Capital is
growing steadily every day of the
year, and that it has reached a stage |
where more rapid machinery must
be Installed, is a matter of gratitic1-
tion to the Mitchell Printing Co.,
anG it has been brought up to
this stage by the very kind patron
age that has been extended to it by

Beth looked curiously about the hail.
Behind the scenes had always been a
domain of fairyland to her. The
thought that she was to witness a re-
h%earsal, and d dress rehearsal at that
o~verpowered her.
1t was not at all as she had pictured
1t. The long. low ceilinged hall was
very unlike the stage, and the mass of
properties and scenery thrown about in
apparent chaos bewildered her. A
huge bowluer lay a~ainst an Italian
fountain, and flower beds, stacked one
above the other, looked very unlike the
flower beds she knew.
Over In n corner a group of men
were pulling and hauling at a girl
dressed as an Indian. In the center
of the hall half a dozen men were
struggling through some unfamiliar
music, and not far away a heavily
built man vas deliberately Sitting a
new leather Goa into shreds and rub
bling it on the dirty floor to take off its
aspect of ncwness.
olAef girls were gong through dane
Ing steps at the behest of a stocky lit
tie man, who beat time with a thick
pole he carried when he was not using
the stick to threaten some unruly girl.
And over all presided a thin, nervous
looking man, who seemed to have the
faculty Of being in three places at
once.
Tom Seaton detached himself from
The group about a cage in one corner
and came toward her. ut doesn't

at is a little Disappointing" she adj
mitted, "but l find 1t very interesting"
"They are going to dress soon," he
said c~arelcssly, "and then run through
the pantonime. It's a pity that they
cannot get the hall upstairs, Where
they can get the scenery up. There's a
wedding or something going on up
there"

the best cure for the stage fever that l
know Of. 1t was lucky that Hermes
was in a good humor last night when |
asked him If l might bring you over"
lis that Hermes?" she asked, point
Ing to a tall, handsome fellow who
posed in one corner.
That's the man who made the cos
tunes" lie laughed. "Hermes is that
little fellow who Is all over the place.
He and st. Elmo, the ballet master
that little fellow with the stick-are do
Ing about half the work"
Beth glanced with new interest at
the flying figure. She had seen him on
the stage dressed in mystic robes and
with all OF he advantages Of scenic On
vironment. He looked vastly different
as he flew about the place In an old
pair Of trousers and a tatteped flannel
shirt.
Even when the players who had slip
ped out OF the room began to come
back in Gaudy costumes, the illusion
was not restored, for the nervous little
ballet master kept jumping into the
space outlined by chairs to represent
the stage and, roughly throwing some
one aside, took her place to show what
he VIZ nted done.
Not until they came to the trick to
which the pantomime worked up did
Beth regain her interest. The beautiful
white girl was supposed to be thrown
Into a lions zen, but an Indian mai
1en, by virtue of a talisman, took the
pace of the Infatuated beast.
The others crowded about the cage
to see the trick worked, and Tom drag.
ged Beth over, with Il whispered. You
mustn't tell the trick to any one"
She nodded assent with a delightful
feeling of mystery and watched with
Interest the elaborate working of a
trick that seemed simple enough from
the audience.
Half a dozen times the trick was
tried before Hermes Strengthened up
with an "All right. Dress for the next
act" and the crowd Of Enthusiastically
dressed players rushed off to the ante
room.
Tom led Beth back to the tiny plat
form that formed her seat Of vantage.
"Disillusioned?" he said, with a smile.
ENTIRELY So" she shuddered. -"Of
course | knew it was all play, but l
never dreamed 1t was such hard work."

IN THE HIGHER DRAMA
Miss Grace Merritt Charmed and De
lighted All With Her Beauti-
full representation.

For nearly three hours a very
large audience at The Gale Wednes-
day evening was charmed and de-
Lighter with the representation of
Miss Grace Merritt Of Mary Tudor
in when Knighthocd Was In
Flower" and the two and three cur
talns calls after each act attesteo
fully the popularity Miss Merritt and
The balance of the company had with
the audience. 'sWhen Knighthood
Was In Flower" is a page taken out
of the romantic history of English
royalty in the period of 1913 when
the Tudor reign was in its height
and tile incidents that are displayed
on the stage make a most enjoyable
evening OF the drama, particularly
Wien it is i'm the hands OF a
capable company. Mary Tudor, as
known in history, was cha1mingly
given by Miss Merritt, whose pre-
sentation was of a mo1e dignified
character, and at the same time she
cid not forego any Of the viragc
qualities of the willful Mary, but it
appeared less ohstrusive in her hands
Miss Merritt was coy and loyable at
one moment, only to be followed by
an outburst of temper in the next,
and reduced TO tears and laughter
with equal rapldity. Through all
these transitions Miss Merritt glided
without a jar on the sensibilities OF
her clever acting. Once conquered in
her great love for Charles Brandon,
Miss Merrett gave her Mary a new
delight. In every act she rose to the
demands of the occasion and she Was
not guilty at any time of OVERRIDING
and or coming short in the character
she assumed.
William Clifford as Charles Brandon
was sufficiently impassioned in his
role OF The lover of Mary Tudor, al
though at times seeming a tri6e
impetuous, but on the Whole he
made a splendid impression in the
character. The support of the COM
pany was excellent throughout.
The costumes worn by the COM
pany were attractive AMI in SYM
pathy with the time OF the drama,
while the scenic investiture vas in
harmony with the drama. The pre-
was as thoroughly en-
jcyed as when presented here a year
ago, at which time Anna Day az
as Mary, and it was the
general opinion that Miss Merritt
eXcelled in the part.
The next attraction at the Gale
will occur Feb. 10. when 1.-The Hon.
