Advanced Vaudeville a Big Hit.

Quite large and appreciative audi
ence assembled at the Grand last even
ing, the occasion being the opening for
three nights engagement OF McMa-
han & Jackson's big six act vaudeville
production. Six numbers are included
In bill which were about the best ever
seen in this city. and each number re-
ceived d liberal share of the applause
in appreciation OF their efforts.
The bill opened with Miss Isabella
Very, IN very clever singing act in
which her small mirror wash rought in
to play and the reflection conferred on
a person in the audience to whom she
sang very catchy little song.
Amy Gottloh and hersscompany were
the next on the program in their one
act playlet Government Bonds. 4"
The sketch deals very cleverly with a
couple who invest their money in gov
eminent bonds and each endeavors to
keep the fact secret from the other :;
the woman secreting her document in
cracker jar while the male member
in the sketch places his in the clock.
The woman sends the clock to be re-
paired and the bond with it: an urchin
appears on the scene and begs for
bread and the old man touched by a
pathetic story empties the contents of
the cracker jar into his basket. Each
about the same time discover their
possessions are missing and declare
themselves ruined, but their bonds are
returned to them in due time by the
matchmaker and urchin The sketch
runs rich with mirth throughout and
last full half.
Nancy Lee Rice, rendered several
fine selections on the Italian harp,
and with a smaller instrument strap
ped to her sang, danced and played all
at the same time. Miss Rice possesses
pleasing personality and graceful
manner that is characteristic of the
Kentucky women, and this coupled
with the elegant costumes and rare
musical talent won for her the admir-
alton of the entire audience.
The wonderful work of the Roses
with their rifles aroused considerable in
terest. They are expert shots. One
of the most difficult shots that Mr..
Rose makes is to aim one rifle at a
suspended ball. and then taking his seat
beneath the ball so that it is a couple
of riches above his head, with another
rltiel fires at the trigger of the other.
dlscharging the latter and striking the
ball over his head.
Marie Mae Montroe rendered several
very delightful vocal selections and her
rich contralto voice seemed to appeal
to the audience, for each number
brought forth vociferous applause.
Last. but by no means least on the
program were Thos. Petet and company
In their acrobatic sketch in which the
four members took part and the title
of which is Dreams of Circus DAYS. I"
The sketch teens with that STYLE of
acting that would tend to please audi
ences OF most any taste. The girl
Miss Irene Stevenson, presents her
dramatic reading in manner that be-
speaks for her a bright career in the
profession and each individual member
OF the company bring up their work
well.
This superb bill will have the boards
at the Grand for the remainder of the
week and a special matinee will he
given Saturday afternoon for the Ia
dies and children.

WHITE PLAGUE GERM
NOT ALWAYS DEADLY.
Expert Says Seventy Per Cent. OF
People Have tuberculosis, Only
Fifteen Per Cent. Die.

tuberculosis in it's many phases
was thoroughly discussed at the ninth
annual meeting of the American
Therapeutic Society. Expert physi-
clans told of the proper treatment of
the dreaded disease in its varying
stages. FL
The first paper, upon the treatment
CT tuberculosis, was read by DR.. Law
renee F. Flick, who has charge of the
White Haven sanitarium.
1.-THE restoration of the afflicted in
dividual to his normal capacity and
the stimulation of his intrinsic disease
fighting qualities constitute in a
broad sense the modern treatment OF
tuberculosis" declared DR.. Flick.
"As a rule the tubercle bacillus Is
not very virqlent to human beings.
The tendency to recover is so great
that the majority who suffer i'm
plantation will recover without devel-
oping noticeable symptoms. Seventy
per cent. Of all persons living in civil
lied communities get tmplantation of
tuberculosis. Only fifteen per cent.
of those living in civilized commune
ties die of the disease. Without
mixed infection tuberculosis would
never kill" ~ "
W. Sohler Bryant, Of New York,
declared that from the ear come the
first signs of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Looking Ahead.

A charming young lady went into
one of the s%tationer's shops in a coun-
try town and asked to see some thin
note paper. After selecting what she
desired she hesitated for a moment.
do you make any reduction to
clergymen?" she asked softly.
Certainly, madam" said the sta
toner, with great promptness. "Are
you a clergyman's wife,"
"N-no," said the young lady.
"Ah, a clergyman's daughter,
then" said the shopmanr as he be-
gan to tie up the paper in a neat par
eel.
"N-no," was the lady's kesitatins
reply. Then she leaned across the
counter and spoke in a confidential
whisper: But if nothing happens

Leave Tomorrow With God.

Would it not be better to leave to-
morrow with God? That is what Is
troubling meh; to-morrow's tempta-
lions, to-morrow'st difficulties, TO-
morrow's burdens, to-morrow's du-
ties. 70
Martin. Luther, in his autobiog-
raphy, says: Il have one preacher
that I love better than any other on
earth; it is my tame little robin, who
breaches to me daily. I put crumbs
upon my window sill, especially at
night. He hops onto the window sill
when he wants his supply, and takes
as much as he desires to satisfy his
need. From thence he always hops
to a little tree close by and lifts up
his voice to God and sings his carols
of praise and gratitude, tucks his
little head under his wing and goes
fast to sleep, and leaves tomorrow
to look after itself. He is the best
preacher that I have on earth. H.

THE SENSE OF DISTANCE.
A Pleasure Mr.. Glimmerton Finds
When He Takes His Vacation.

Zone Of the things that 1 go on
my vacation for, one of the chief
things" said Mr.. G%limmerton, lis dis
lance; the refreshing, %reviving, ex-
banding power Of distance. The
change to new scenes, as any change
whatever is always sure to be, Is
helpful; but the broadening, uplift-
ing, clarifying effect, the effect in
which we find the greatest enjoyment
and by which we store up the greatest
renewal of strength for the future,
we get through u sense Of distance.
1--WE are so shut up in the city, our
range of vision is SO limited; live
where we will or &c. where we will
here and our sight stops short at
walls. Then when we go away and
leave the city behind us, as we get
out into the open country, where we
can see past houses, how grateful
does the distance seem!
But 7 get this sense best at a quiet
place where I go in the mountains,
where I can sit and look down a lsng,
broad lake with mountains rolling
away on either hand and beyond.
The change, I know, from the city is
great and delightful; but the thing
that gets me here. and releases me.
is the distance. /
Daily, hourly, I come back to this
view, to- expel what lingering traces
may be left in me of the contraction
Of the city and to expand anew in this
great ~spaciousness through the sense
Of distance. Space has no care nor
confinement, but only freedom. And
what Joy and relief to be where one
cam cast of all chains and be free!
ANY change is good for US; but
the greatest JOY in changeNthat comes
to me IL; through the sense CT dis

OrvilIe Wright's Schoolboy Essay,

II was in High School at Dayton
at the same time as Oryille Wright,
now famed as inventor Of the aero
Plane" remarked Ernest F. Crum-
mel. I'VE were not in the same
class, but I remember one essay that
Wright prepared for n Of the liter
airy programmes. 1t was about air
ships, and Wright read from his pa
per that the time would come when
men would navigate the air.
HE read on so enthusiastically
that the other students all laughed
good-naturedly at him for writing
along such foolish lines. They all
told him a man would be crazy to
try to ride an airship.' But as every
body knows to-day, Wright's youth
full enthusiasm has carried him along
to success and fame in just that very
direction. "-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

FOR THE QUIET HOUR
THE GOD OF PATIENCE

I planted once some precious seed
That grew into a beauteous vine;
But, for nv tender care long days
, No semblance of reward was mine
At length it's opening buds and bloom !
Regaled me with its rich perfume.
Down in a little fertile field
I set q thrifty tree one day.
Year after year I watched it grow, ,
And after wearisome delay o..
It cast its ~fruitage rare and sweet
In wondrous plenty at my feet.
Deem in the garden of my heart,
All through the years from early YOUTH
And love, and righteousness and truth.
His garden still is desolate,.
And vet the Lord doth watch and wait.

turn to good, not to mind pain be-

that nothing-no, not if the earth was

XIV.

The steamer was a miserable little
affair. There was no cabin fit for a
lady on board, and Gertrude was
therefore obliged to remain on deck,
but this was NJ hardship. The only
discomfort was the night air, which
vas chilly, but good M. Filippo had
warned her to keep out a wrap, and
she had accordingly taken her white
macintosh, which, with its hood,
covered her from head to foot, keep
ing the heavy dew as we'll as the
breeze OF, and the heat in. Sitting
there alone, in her patient way, mo-
tionless, hour after hour, with the
long white garment draped in shad-
owy folds about her, and the moon
light falling full upon her steady
eyes and placid face, she looked like
a devotee Of some new order, passing
from a known present to an I'M
known future with confidence If not
with JOY.
The river scenery was all beautiful
by that light; parts Of it were fairy
like, and it is not too much to say
that she enjoyed 1t at the time, and
always afterward the recollection of
it was a pleasure unaccompanied by
any painful association. The shock
of the last disappointment had
brought her one blessed relief-she
had ceased for the time being to ex-
pect, ceased to hatter herself with
false hopes of immediate success.
She did not take it for granted now,
as she would have done at first, that
she should overtake her husband. at
Oman and have no more trouble; on
the contrary, she quieted her mind
as much as she could, so as to rest it,
that she might have the strength to
continue her journey without delay
should it be necessary. She also ar
ranged her plan of action. She found
out from M. Filippo where the coach
stopped-it was at n of the hotels;
and she meant to begin there, and if
she did not find her husband, go from
n to another until she did. Hap
PLY she was spared this trial. Her
husband, so far, had not been difficult
to trace. His course had been err
ratio as a comets, but everywhere he
had made an impression which helped
her to identify him. 1t was not a
very favorable impression, she some
times feared, and it was certainly
very different from the one he had
been accustomed to produce, but still
she thought she should be thankful
that his madness had not taken a
quieter form, which might have en-
abled him to pass everywhere unob-
served, and so made it impossible for
her to find him. 1t was gray morn
ing when she arrived at Oman. She
was stiff with the long hours spent in
the night air on the deck of the
little steamer, and so weary, that al
though she did what she had set her
self to do, she did it mechanically,
and without the slightest anxiety as
to the result. Yet the landing had
made an impression on her which
she could not always recall; a curious
