TO GET A MAN.
See How Easily The Actresses
Catch Them. Here's How
They Do 1t.

"Ive heard them say that an actress s
way of talking to a man has a lot to dc
with catching him. Just what, dear
lady, is meant by way OF talking'?"
"Oh," she gurgled, that's the east
est question you've asked me, and III
let you into the secret. An actress,
from her stage experience, mas learned
the psychology of audiences. She has
learned what will make them smile,
laugh, frown or cry. She has learned
the difference between-well, the New
York type of audience and the Boston
type of audience, between the Chicago
type of audience and the Los Angeles
sort. Her professional experience has
shown her each of their idiosynctasies.
And just as she has come to learn the
moods of big groups of people and the
way to cater TO them, just so, as if by
second nature, does she know how to
get in touch with the moods and whims
of the individual man. That's why the
man feels that the actress understands
him better than any girl he ever met =
even after he has known her for only a
few rours. "
Don't home girls know those same
tricks, thought" asked the novelist
"Um-um." the actress said, shaking
her head, you'll find. generally, that

can act out to perfection. They are

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
ClOyerpOrt People Should Learn
To Detect The Approach Of
Kidney Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are
so unmistakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex-
crete thick, cloudy, offensive urine,
full of sediment. irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding.
The back aches constantly, headaches
and dizzy spells may occur and the vic
tim is often weighed down by a feeling
of languor and fatigue. Neglect these
warnings and there is danger of dropsy
Bright's Disease, or diabetes. Any one
of these symptoms is warning enough
to begin treating the kidneys at once.
Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Clover
port proof:
John H. Wills, judge of police court,
High ST., Cloverport, KY, says: 81
have no hesitation in pronouncing
Doan's Kidney Pills the best remedy l
know for the purposes for which their
use is intended l take pleasure in
recommending them to other persons
who may be suffering from disordered
kidneys. l will be pleased to answer

As to the work in the county there
are many things that could be said, but
we will only mention few. We think
advancement has been made and es-
pecially as to better organization and
better equipment for teachers We are
not up with cur fnancies. There are
two reasons for this. one was the small
attendance at our Spring convention on
account of the rainy weather, the other
we need not mention here. Brecken-
ridge county's appointment is SIPS. We
have paid $50 and have in hand about
$40. The question is, can we afford
not to pay in full? We think not. We
have no hesitency in saying the money
we contribute to this cause is accomp-
fishing as much good as any similar
amount contributed for any other re-
ligious purpose. We believe there are
twenty-five or more persons in the
county who can pay one dollar that we
may pay in full. Will you do it1 Who
will be the frst2 We will acknowledge
the receipt by publishing the names of
all who contribute, in our county
papers. Please do not treat this matter
lightly.
In conclusion we again urge all
schools to send delegates and any one
who may desire to go from the county
to send us their names.

While the average volume Of pay.
ments through the banks this week has
fallen slightly, that for the month
makes a gratifyi ing exhibit. Credits
have acquired strength and the record
OF trading defaults has made a closer
return TO the normal.
Commercial developments reflect we'll
ing impaired by the improved tone in
money and wider tendency toward new
enterprises. Construction shows an I'M
usual aggregate of planned work in
volving heavy OUTLAWS; railroads make
the necessary financing for extensions
and equipment. and the outlook steadl-
~ grow better for the manufacturing
interests.
Some readjustment OF prices for fin
ished steel is n preliminary to com
mitments for large tonnage, and there
Is further ease in some minor metals,
but lumber. leather, hides and wool
values remain steady.
Wholesale merchandising In staple
lines scores a gratifying advance, some
departments surprising the best pre-
vious totals, with dry goods lines re-
porting new records.
Weather conditions favored an en-
larged consumption Of the necessaries
and an adequate reduction Of stocks
at retail. The buying power generally
indicates a sustained recovery, and
there is gradual reinforcement from
the increasing employment at fac
tories and in building trades.
Early spring is likely to see wide
spreading activity in iron and wood
working. Current buying of supplies
for conversion testify to expanding out
puts Of finished products, while freight
traffic is augmented by forwardings OF
heavy materials and grain.

GREATEST MAIL HOPPER
IS UNCLE SANS SURPRISE
NATIONS BIGGEST POSTAL BUSI-
NESS NOT PROVIDED FOR
AT CHICAGO.
Devices Make Possible the Record of
4,5oo000 Pieces of Mail Han
died Daily.

Chicago, April 29.-(Special Core
spondence of The Republ-
lean. JUNGLE Sam made a poor
guess a few years ago when he
built a postoffice for Chicago, for-th
city is now his biggest mail hopper
and the postoffice long since was out
grown. Daily 500 tons of mail from
every part of the globe pours through
the hopper and the total grows amaz-
ingly.
Mails crossing the continent in
transfer and the mails of all the con-
verging railways make a tremendous
problem in handling. The daily aver
age mail matter handled. excluding
Sunday, is about 100000 pieces of all
kinds. Several times within the last
three years the cancelling machines
passed the 100000 mark on letters
alone.
Incoming pouches and sacks are be-
ing received at the rate of $500 a day,
while nearly double that number is
distributed. Stated in another way,
nearly $500 900 incoming sacks will be
handled in 1909 at the present rate,
and probably 100000 will be distrib-
uted. More than $4,000 tons of news
papers and periodicals will be weigh
ed, handled and distributed this year.
1t must be remembered that Chicago
