QUEER TELEGRAPH POLES.
Made Of Adobe In BoIivia-Growins
Trees Used In Africa.

Trees Used In Africa.
The most original telegraph line in
the world once extended from the cap
itaI of Bolivia, La Paz, to the town of
Oruro In this part of Bolivia there
are no growing trees, and wood is so
difficult to find that even the ordinary
household furniture Of the natives is
invariably made net of wood, but Of
dried mud or adobe.
So when the war broke cut between
Chile and Bolivia and a telegraph line
became urgent it was adobe that was
chosen for the queerest telegraph poles
in existence. These pillars were built
on stone foundations and measured
about five feet square at the base, with
a height of about fifteen feet.
They were placed at intervals of
about 361 feet and thus held the wire
at a height sufficient to clear the only
animals of the country, the llama and
the donkey. Tie total length of the
line was 1876 miles.
Among other curious telegraph lines
is the growing pole line erected in
Uganda by an English engineer, who
could not find any dead wood which
would withstand the white ants and
hit upon the idea of Transporting grow
ing bark cloth trees to the side of the
roads and using them as poles.
In the Dutch East Indies growing
trees are turned to account also, but
there a wire is stretched across the
road between the trees on either SIDE
and the insulator is suspended in its
middle, and the line is thus over the
road and clear from yegetation.-Chi-

kOdOl
For Dyspepsia and INDIGESTION
If you Suffer from Indigestion Dyspepsia, Gas on
the Stomach, Belching, Sour Stomach, heartburn
etc. little Kodol will Relieve you almost Instantly

Kodol supplies the same digestive
juices that are found in a healthy
stomach. Being liquid, IL starts
digestion at once.
Kodol not only digests your food,
but helps you enjoy every mouthful
you eat.
You need a sufficient amount of
good, wholesome food to maintain
strength and health.
But, this food must be digested
thoroughly, otherwise the pains of
indigestion and dyspepsia are the
result.
When your stomach cannot do Its
work properly, take something to
help your stomach. Kodol is the
only thing that will give the stom-
ach complete rest.
Why2 Because Kodol does the
same work as strong stomach, and
does it in a natural way.

Near the window, in accordance with
tradition and prescription, stood the
Chanukah candelabra. The head of
the family, with the SHOWS of MANY
winters upon his head and beard and
worthy of esteem had just lighted the
little green and red candles and was
tMarprmuring the usual song in a monot-
onous, colorless voice, to himself. The
pale little flames undulated lightly. He
gazed at them and was evidently NOV
ed.
When he had completed his song, he
sat down in his arm chair and asked
me to sit opposite him A light Grim
son played in his otherwise pale cheeks
1t was the blush of the aged man who
reminds himself of a youthful trans
gression. But he was not ashamed.
He had the best intentions. But he
had not possessed the insight into his
deeds. This is the reason that he had
obtained just the opposite of what
he had expected. Now he knows that
he should have acted differently, could
have done SO, and he is chagrined that
he did not know it when such knowl-
edge could have been useful That ag-
itates him, makes his blood flow faster
and brings it to his face made pale by
moral suffering, He had begun yester-
day to tell me the story of his sons and

good to tighten ones heart by telling

AT THE LYcEuM.
The Lion and the Mouse.

The history of Charles Klein's
great play, "The Lion and the Mouse"
reads like the romance of some get
rich-quick promoter. The story of its
success is the more startling because
of the fact of its having been refus-
ed by nearly every producing manag-
er of Importance in New York before
it was offered to Henry B. Harris,
who accepted it at the first reading
at the conclusion of the third act.
Without any changes whatever, the
play achieved a sensational success,
for exactly the very reasons that the
wise managers had rejected it and
predicted its failure-because it deals
with conventionalities and with pres
ent day business matters as they now
exist in this country No one but
Mr.. Harris and Mr.. Klein believed in
the ultimate success of the play, and
disaster was predicted for it on every
hand.
1t is nearly impossible to judge the
dramatic possibilities of a play by
the mere reading of the manuscript
But that Mr.. Harris did judge right
ly, no one will now dispute, for the
success of the play has reaped for
tunes for both Mr.. Harris and Mr..
Klein, and the end is still far off. One

it has made when it may be truthful.

Toledo, for return engagement
Musical critics and public everywhere
have pronounced the score of "The
Merry Widow" to be a perfect mine
of melodic gold. Musically "The
Merry Widow" has come to America
as revelation teaching the truth
that true music and fine writing is
still to be found in light opera, just
as 1t used to be when Sullivan pen
ned "Mikado" and "Pinafore" and
when Strauss wrote his immortal
waltzes and comic operas. The story
Is too well known to be in need of
repetition. The chorus of singers
and dancers will be, as heretofore,
one of the principal features in the

These women especially will be in
