"Jack Tar" Newspapers.

Several OF the big ships in the
United States navy have their own
newspapers. On board the Kentucky
is printed "The Kentucky Budget" a
semi-monthly. The Louisiana is re.
sposible for "The Pelican which is
issued monthly. The battleship Ohio
has The Buckeye" The West Vir-
ginia boasts of "The Ditty Box. -
"The Badger" is printed monthly Oh
the Wisconsin.
All of the above papers are issued
by the enlisted men of the ships. The
aim of each is identical-to make life
aboard the ship more agreeable, ana
to give the friends in civil life an
outline of naval doings and OF the
brighter side of naval life.
The Americans are a newspaper
reading nation. Barred from his To-
cal papers by the refusal of the gov
eminent to allow free postage on
papers addressed to the navy, Jack"
promptly solaces himself by starting
newspapers of his own on board ship.
The men have a freedom of criticism
in the little monthly papers that
would lead one to think that military
discipline is not all blood and iron.
Many sly digs are rammed home at
unpopular officers. and more frequent
are the bouquets for those occupants
of the ward room who are popular
with the crew.-Washington Post.

The immense success which has
Followed l.. T. Cooper during the past
year with his new preparation has
exceeded anything Of the kind ever
before witnessed in most of the lead
ing cities where the young man has
introduced the medicine. Cooper has
a novel theory. He believes that the
human stomach is directly RESPONSE
BILE for most disease. To quote his
own words from an interview upon
his arrival in an eastern city: The
average man or woman cannot be
sick IL the stomach is working prop
erly. To be sure, there are diseases
of virulent nature, such as cancer,
tuberculosis, diabetes, etc which are
organic, and are not traceable to the
stomach, but even fevers can, in nine
cases out of ten, be traced to some
thing taken into the stomach. All of
this half sick, nervous exhaustion
that is now so common, is caused by
the stomachic conditions, and it is
because my remedy will and does
regulate the stomach that / am
meeting with such success.

"The BOndnan."

Concerning "The Bondman." in
which Wilton Lackaye will appear
at The Kentucky Saturday night and
matinee, the Fort Worth (Texas)
Record says:
NO matter what the vehicle which
Wilton Lackaye might choose to offer,
the offering would be a dramatic
event quite worth while. and that is
full true of 1.-THE Bondmau," in which
he appeared at Greenwall's last night.
"But OF The Bondman' it can only
be said that It Is a big melodrama, a
great melodrama even. but still a
melodTama and saved in its strained,
unnatural and entirely Theatre stu
ations from the condemnation which
falls upon melodrama as a class only
by the name OF Hall Game as the
playwright and Wilton Lackaye in
the title role. For two years The

in England and for a year solid II
held audiences at the historic old
Drury Lane theater OF London. That
is in itself conclusive proof that II Is
a wonderfully wrought melodrama
for because the best and the biggest
of the kind have had Drury Lane for
the scene Of their premiere, Drury
Lane audiences know a melodrama
of worth when they see it.
The dramatization of the novel of
the same name IS pretty closely made
after the original story. The two
male characters around
which The Bondman' is written are
half brothers, their father. a Sicilian,
having first betrayed and deserted the
daughter Of the governor of one of
the dependencies OF Sicily (who has
cast her out Of doors at the birth OF
her illegitimate child) and then set
tied In the Isle of Man, where he
another woman. who bore
him another son. The Sicilian son,
Jason, has reached manhood, when
his mother dies, and, at the point of
death, she prompts him to avenge her
wrongs on his father and his fathers
son In the foreign country. About
he same time the father dies and in
he hour of death he urges his Eng
ish son, Michael, to find and succor
he woman the father has injured
and the child he has left fatherless.
This has all occurred before the
opening Of the first scene of the play,
md when the action of the dramati-
,atlon starts. Michael is just selling
)ut to keep the promise he made his
'ather. and behind him leaves his
promised bride, Greeba, TO whom he
s to return within two years.
He has no more than gone when
Jason, Siciiian half-brother OF MI
'hael, now a deserter from the ship
~ which Michael has sailed, appears.
Jason, little more than a Sicilian

er, finds his way into the house
where Greeba Is alone. Greeba, ter
