THE ENCORE HABIT.

Now Sims Reeves Turned tho Tables
 on One of His Admirers.
 Sims Reeves, who in his day was ac- cepted as the most celebrated tenor on the concert stage, was so much of a tavorite that whenever he sang he was usually greeted with hearty encore, accompanied with enthusiastic cheers.
 Reeves was very good natured about the matter, but he made 1t rule never to sing more than one selection when he felt that bis voice was not In first class shape He happened to not!ce that an elderly man, who turned out to be dealer in hats along the Strand, London, attended nearly every concert within convenient distance If Sims Reeves happened to be OR the bill and generally led the encore brigade. This halter was a persistent person and of ter applRuded until be had forced Reeves to respond to double and triple encores.
 Determined to teach the little natter lesson. one afternoon just. ss dark was approaching Reeves entered his admirers store and said, "One hat please" naming the particular shape which he desired. The little natter didn't recognize the great tenor and handed out one hat.
 Good" saId Reeves, How much Is this bQty'
 Five ShllliagS," said the store pro prletor.
 "Ecore," said Reeves.
 A second hat was forthcoming, and Reeves ultimately obtained three len. core" hats. When the little natter de- handed f1 sterling for tho purchases Reeves pretended to Dc furious.
 Send these four hats to this Sd. dress" ordered the tenor In terrible tone, but only pay for one hat. Do you understand? The three other hats are encore hats. If you make me sing songs for nothing you must send me hats for nothing"
 The little halter was speechleSs.- Portland Oregoumn.

Tho Same That Was Started sJ thS
 Cornell Widow.
 Sheer nonsense rhymes and jokes without appar ut reason or object are frequently used to all the pages Of the Cornell Widow. If anything more foot, less than the Man of Giegledorr verse has ever been written, the Wld- ow wishes to state that her bump of credullty was imported from Missouri and must be shown:
 There was a man from Giegledorf
 Who, tO save his barbers fees,
 Would wet his hair end let it freeze. And when twas frozen break it on. The Widow claims the credit of orig mating the nonsense rhymes which dealt with the cleYerness and p.ecOclty of the bright little lad vshI cL."lessly slaughtered bis mother, father and im- mediate relatives. These poems, If so they may be called. appeared ia the Widow ln October and November. 1900. The same year they were collected and published In pamphlet form under the uame of "The Johnny Book" Johnny started his career by "an tragedy as follows:
 Johnny hung his little sister.

 These verses terminated the Widows connection with John, but papers all over the country took up hls instruc- tive and editying career and pushed 1t to a finish. Still another verse which started lu the Widow office and trav- eled all over this country and part of others was the bit of "Eb and Flo" doggerel. In this We discover that
 Flo was fond of Ebenezer-

By itself this beautiful bit could hardly claim a place in a volume Of great American poets, but when It travelled far and wide and received an extra verse at each resting place It be- came e pursuing nightmare. = From Humorous College Journalism" in Ro- hemian Magazine.

WORK WEARERS THE KIDNEYS
Doan's Kidney Pills Haro DoOe Great Service for People who Work in AlRakn

Most Alaska people work every day in Soms strained, unnatural position bending constantly over desk riding on jolting wagons or cars doing labor lous housework; lifting, reaching or pulling, or trying the back in hundred and one different ways, All these strains tend to wear, weaken and iDjure the kidneys until they fall behind in tneir work of Altering the poisons from the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new strength in bad backs
 W. E. Wood of 25O cottage St., sa- lem, Ore, says: IA good many years ago got badly kicked by mule right over the kidneys and at another time while digging we'll it caved in on me also injuring my back. Since then l have had more or less annoyance from my kidneys. Change of weather caused my back to ache and when l worked hard 1t became SO lame that could hardly straip hten up after stooping, l procured Doan's Kidney Pills at drug store and since taking them, although I have continued to work hard and be exposed to severe weathe,, not an ache or other symptoms of my former trouble remains. This clearly proves that Doau's Kidney Pills act up to representations made of them. I also know of other people who have derived sres5 benefit from their use. 1 smglad to lot others know the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills for backache and kidney trouble.

was received by the T.-R. from Lead

What. without parole or pardon,
meant practically life sentence for
Norris. was imposed Wednesday after
noon, when the court ordered him COM
mitted to the penitentiary for twenty
five years, after refusing to grant him a
new trial. Morris was convicted OF
the murder Of one John Walsh, a
Leadville saloonkeeper, in 1898. He
had been sought for years, for the Col
orado crime, and was only taken few
months ago, in Michigan, where he
been paroled by Ex-Governor Shaw.
Wanted in Other Places.
Morris was not wanted alone In
Colorado. His parole in Iowa came
after he had committed the celebrated
Pollock diamond robbery, and served a
portion of his term in person. After
the arrest here Of Owen Ball. for q
minor offense committed in Des
Moines, Ball confessed that he and
Shercliffe had held up Northern Pa
cific train in Minneapolis last April;
also that they had worked together in
other cases of recent date. While Nor
ris was in Jail at Leadville, awaiting
trial, Ball was paying considerable at
tention to Mrs. Morris, who wrote him
endearing letters telling him how she
could never live without him. These
were taken from Ball when he was
arrested in this city. Mrs Morris was
formerly Anna May Bergstrom, of Des
Moines, and married Morris in this city
a few years ago.

his most daring escapes was at Gala
tin, Mo- where he had been arrested
for highway robbery. He grabbed the
sheriff's six-shooter when his back was
turned, and held the officer up with his
own gun.
In 1890, after he had been convicted
Of burglary, and had been sentenced to
a year, he escaped from a wagon while
being taken to the pen, but was after
wards captured.
In 1899, at Fairfield where he had
been arrested for robbing the Burling-
ton railroad agent, he escaped by
knocking the jailer's daughter down
when she had come to bring his sup

Morris has done time in many state
prisons, including Iowa, Illinois, and
Utah. He killed a policeman named
Gordon, at Butte, Mont, while operat-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu,
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound OIL
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-,
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, I'M
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
conditions, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inf1amed condition of the mucous sur
