Boy Bests a Mean Lawyer.
New York SUM-

(NeW 1OTk SUM-
Gresham p. Lyons, of San Francis
co, discussed in New York the other
day the movement for the protection of
witnesses in law courts that he has
recently inaugurated.
I'VE know" said Mr.. Lyons, "how
witnesses are browbeaten and insulted
by lawyers the country over. Well, l
want to see them protected from such
damnable treatment. If my movement
succeeds, a cross examining lawyer
will no more think of insulting a re-
spectacle witness than of insulting the
judge.
Mr. Lyons smiled.
But I saw one of those contempti-
BILE and insolent lawyers worried the
other day-by boy, too.
1.-The lawyer, after trying In vain to
shake the boys evidence by fair means,
resorted to foul ones-proceeded to en-
rage and shame the lad, hoping to con-
fuse him into contradictory state
ments.
"'Now, son. he said, I want to ask
you about your father
eyes, sir said the boy.
".Haven't certain damaging reports
been circulated about your father late
ly?'
"I dunno what reports you mean
"Isn't there a report current to the
effect that your father beats his wife
and robs hen roosts?
$50 you say the boy muttered sui
lenly,
$50 I say shouted the lawyer, and
now 1 ask you if that report isn't true?
Come, speak up. Don't stand there
like a ninny! Is it not true that your
father beats his wife and steals chick
ens?'
"I dunno said the boy. You'd bet
ter ask him. He's settin over there on
the jury"

Sioux City, Feb. 6.-"Lend Me Sixty
Cents" has become the up to date
Sioux City version of the ancient COM
cdy Lend Me Five Shillings." Instead
of Joe Jefferson, the late actor, pref
ty young woman is taking the leading
role in the new and improved show.
The new and improved show is COM
edy--also tragedy 1t is a comedy
for the young woman who plays the
leading role, and tragedy for the
young men who play the subsidiary
roles.
The latter play only a single engage
ment; then they quit the footllghts IN
connection with the new and improved
melodrama forever. In street parlance
they call themselves "stung" On the
BoWery, one would say that the young
woman had Slipped one over" A pro-
fessor of rhetoric out at Morningside
would say that 1.-The young gentlemen
had been victims of an extremely un-
fortunate occurrence" But all three
would have the right idea, quite.
The little sketch, in brief, consists
Of dropping into a railroad office, store,
bank or something, smillngly, winning
ly upon some youth behind desk or
counter, carry on an animated con-
versation, and suddenly discover that
you haven't got cent with you and
need exactly so cents. If you are pref
ty girl, and your eyes and hair are
of the right shade. the 60 cents are
yours. If you are not, don't play the
leading role in the little farce comedy
tragedy.
Specifically. the play was given
fort might ago before an enthusiastic
audience of one. over at the Illinois
Central ticket office in Fourth street.
The youth who occupied seat in the
er, is still looking for his so cents.
He thought nothing of it until the
girl passed him on the street several
times without so much as handing him
a smile and d good morning. Also,
he has learned that the same girl Dor
roWed numerous and sundry other
sums Of the same amount Of friends
of his. He won't tell the name of the
girl, and therefore the police are not
working overtime 4 to apprehend her.
Also, she is only 10 and very good
looking-so she surely can't be Of the
Mrs. Romandka variety.

THE GRIP EPIDEMIC
Disease is Of Short Duration and
When Free From Complications
Is Rarely Fatal.

Not since the grip epidemic Of 1882
80 has the dreaded influenza been SO
prevalent as now. No age or station
in life is exempt from 1t, nor can its
attack be prevented with certainty. 1t
is, however, more frequent in persons
living in overcrowded and fll-venti-
lated homes and in low, damp sur
roundings.
The best authorities give no salts
factory treatment for the acute stage
but it is Of short duration, usually run
ming it's course, in spite of medical
treatment in two or three days, at most
a week or ten days. Careful diet and
a supporting or tonic treatment, with
laxatives, If required, are the best aids
to nature during the acute stage.
Danger During Commissioners.
For a disease of such limited duration
and one which, without complications,
is rarely fatal, the grip leaves it vic
tins more debilitated and less able to
Withstand other disorders than any
other One of our foremost medical
writer's says: ut Is astonishing, the
number Of people who have been Grip
pied in health for years after an at
people date various ailments or chronic
ill-health from an attack of Influenza.
The real danger from the grip is dur
ing convalescence, when the character
istic symptoms, the fever, the catarrh,
the headache and the depression of
spirits pass away. The grip leaves be-
hind it weakened vital powers, thin
blood, impaired digestion and over-sen-
sitive nerves. condition that makes
the system an easy prey to pneumonia,
bronchitis, rheumatism, nervous pros
tration and even consumption. Too
much stress cannot be laid on the i'm
portance of strengthening the blood
and nerves during convalescence.
The story told by scores Of victims of
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base of the skill that made life unen-
durable and that long defied the power
of medicine; another was left tired,
faint and in every way wretched from
anaemia or scantiness of blood; an
other had horrible headaches, was ner-
vous and couldn't sleep; another was
left with weak lungs. difficulty in
breathing and acute neuralgia. In ev-
cry case relief was sought in vain I'M
til the great blood builder and nerve
tonic, Dr. Williams Pink Pills, was
used. This remedy is justly regarded
as peculiarly adapted to build up stable
health after siege of grip. For quick
ness Of action nothing is known that
will approach it, but it is also with
out equal for thoroughness.

employed for several years as timer
by the Klauer Manufacturing Co., says:
zone day while returning home from
work became suddenly weak. Terrible
pains shot thru my head and body, I
became dizzy and was hardly able to
make my way home. The trouble de-
veloped into severe attack Of grip and
1 was confined to my bed for weeks,
was restless and sleepless, with con-
slant pains in my limbs. My appetite
was gone, 1 fell away in flesh, was tired
out for no apparent reason and be-
came generally miserable.
FINALLY, when things were looking
pretty blue for me, one day I noticed
piece in the paper about a man living in
Kansas who had been cured of a sim
liar complaint by the use Of DR.. Will
liams Pink Pills. So I decided to try
them. 1 felt better before 1 finished one
box and I kept on taking them until
cured. Now enjoy perfect health and,
thanks to DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
can do a good days work again. I am
as hale and hearty as many men much
younger than I, have a splendid appe-
tite and can go to sleep few minutes
after retiring / might also add that
before Z began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills 1 had suffered for about
seventeen years with rheumatism but
have not felt any Of it since. They
are a wonderful medicine and I have
no doubt that they saved my life"
What DR.. Williams Pink Pills Do.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills increase the
number Of red corpuscles in the blood.
This is matter of easy proof by mic
roscopic test. They therefore may be
said to actually make new blood. They
are the most direct cure known for
anaemia and all similar conditions. ,
They cure debility and most forms OF
weakness because they make 1t pos
sible for the nourishment taken in the
body to reach the parts that require 1t.
They cure rheumatism, because rheu-
matism is caused by impure blood. and
when they replace the impure blood
with pure, the disease is eradicated-
not temporarily suppressed, but cured
to stay cured After effects Of grip,
fevers and other wasting diseases are
best treated with these blood-making
pills because after these troubles the
blood is thin, watery and impure, and
the health will not be perfectly re-
stored until the vital fluid is made pure
and rich. The pills are guaranteed to
be free from opiates or any harmful
drug and cannot injure the most deli
cate system.

basket ball for the first time in the

of a gymnasium has been an insuper-

there are already half a dozen teams
working out, with prospects Of a

There will be class series played for

probably team will be put in the
field for the state championship, altho
the lateness Of the season will cause
great difficulty in making out a sched
ule.
The base ball team is under SINH
