Every man to his trade" is an
old adage and is familiar to nearly

saying that n man who makes a spe-

about. and is more proficient in his
particular speciality than any one
else could be. 1t is for this reason
that we all seek a specialist when

"BoWERY kIPLING" A WRECK. Sent To Asylum Following Failure of
 Arnold DaIy,s Play.

Owen Kildare, author and playwright, the "Bowery Kipling," as his friends call him, will be sent to Bloomingdale, men, tai and nervous wreck. He has been often pointed to as living proof of the fiction.
 Standing in their little flat. at 60 West 1o1st street, with her hand resting on his typewriter, where he had done all his recent work. and with trembling lips and eyes dimmed with tears, Mrs. Kildare de- clared that a cruel injustice had been done both to her and to her husband by the report that she had had him arrested for drinking and that he had returned to his old ways on the Bowery
 T did not have him arrested.p she said MT. Kildare Is i'll because of the failure of The Regeneration which was offered early in the present season at Wallack's theatre. It was not played as MT. Kill dare vote 1t. He saw it only once, and was so furious with Arnold Daly for the changes in 1t that he wanted to fight him. It was all we could do to keep him from attacking the actor. He became morose. morbid, and frequently talked of suicide. Finally. he was attacked by the nervous collapse from which he is now suffering"
 Few men have had stranger lives than Owen Kildare. Of it he himself has said:
 If lives may be measured by progress. mine may have some interest for you. When man of 30 cannot read the sim plest sentence. and eight venrs ia.ar ss able to earn his living by his pen, his story may be worth the telling.

 Nobody hain't never come into this room lookin' fir game 'thouten gettin' it, s fur's I kno, an I'm ready to play Jim Waters T Bill Atwood T the devil T anybody else what thinks he c'n beat me. An I've got wad to play with 'thouten callin on anybody
 You're on, said Waters and Atwood at once but Blaisdell shook his head.
 q ain't no fool" he said. "Pll tackle either one O you or both on ye, one at a time, but I ain't settin' in alone ag'in a team-not with my own money I ain't."
 Well" said Atwood, sneeringly, that pears to sound some reasonable, an bein' as youm that timid I'll play you a freezeout f'r what you've got. I'd ruther take the hull on 1t nor to split with Wa ters"
 "There won't be no freezeout played onto these premises said old man Green hut, quietly, "'thouten kitty fir the house. An bein' as you uns is liable fh to make quick finish p'vidin' you play, reckon I'll take 10 per cent afore you begin"

 And he made a rush at Waters, who dodged quickly and was starting for the door, when old man Greenhut, bung- starter in hand. interposed.

 'Td ought to brain you right where you stand, Jim Waters, but I'm plumb sick O clearin' up after sech scenes O. vio- lence as pirates like you stirs up occa- sional. You get out O here right sudden an do your talkin' some CTS else.

 And he drove them both out doors When they had gone he looked out after them for few moments and then turned to his friends.

 Jim Waters thought a been one O the most distinguished citizens O this town, an now's he's nothin' but a gam bler More n that, he'd likely "a got away with a big wad.

 It was not often that any hesttancy was shown in old man GreenhutS place about accepting such a proposition, but the old man shook his head doubtfully when he saw that Waters was in ear nest.
 There's some few things into this here world O uncertainties" he said, what s nigh about as sure as death an taxes, an one O em is t 1 ain't never goin back on no reasonable proposition con- cernin' draw poker I'll back them fo1r players O mine ag'in any legitimate poker playin' there is, but t aint altogether clear to my mind thot this is goin' to be legitimate poker
 T ain't a-sayin' nothin ag'in your pal, Atwood, bein' as I don't know nothin about him, an I ain't one to chuck ob- leky at nobody gratis but bein' as he pears to be in cahoots with you, I has doubts.

 No hard feelins.'' he said. '"Th ain't no law agin man tryin to cap his own game, isthere? An if Grenhut Is blind to his own interests that aint no reason why we shouldn't all have a drink
 And having thus mitigated the hostile feeling he had evoked, he left the place. after they had drunk with him.

When the
 Children Come Home Hungry

Mothers, do you want your children keen, active, bright eyed and full of energy? Do you want their nerves steady and their muscles firm? Then you must supply food that is full of nutriment and easily digested.
 Sweet Sugar Glen Molasses is an ideal food for this purpose. The children grow healthy and fat on it. Sweet Sugar Glen is healthful, deliciuos, satisfying, nourishing, and is muscle builder as we'll. For the grown ups, no more delicious syrup or molasses could be served on your breakfast cakes or waffles.
 The merchant cannot find molasses that is in as great de- mand as Sugar Glen. MT. Mer- chant, it's a good thing to have people "askin' you to sell 'em." That's what your customers are doing daily when they order Sugar Glen. It takes ten times as long, and you work ten times as hard to sell them some other brand of molasses. Then they are not satisfied, for Sweet Sugar Glen. on account of its inherent goodness, its remark able richness in sugar, its in- tense sweetness, combined with a delicious, tantalizing flavor, has become enshrined in the minds of the multitude as the King-the very best in Molasses.
 Buy one can and see how flat and insipid the molasses you  have been using really is.
