A Miohty Mean Man.

Mt. Pleasant Free Press: Mean
man stories: They tell of a farmer
living in the southern part Of this
county-maybe it was across the line
in Lee that he was driving along
the road one day and caught up with
neighbor on foot; he invited the
man On foot to get in and ride. When
they arrived at the end Of their des-
tination he charged the man quar-
ter for carrying him. A minister
stopped at his house one day for din
ner. After dinner the minister asked
for his bill and the mean man in
quired, What is your business?"
"A minister of the gospel" the man
replied, Then" said the mean man,
II shall charge you one dollar for
yourself and the horse People Of
ten have wondered what the bill would
have been If the man had not been a
minister This mean man died some
years ago. Afterwards a neighbor
died and went to hell. When he got
there and was waiting to be assigned
he noticed big iron kettle turned up
side down. What have you here?" the
man asked as he started toward the
kettle. He was reaching for the ket-
tie and was just about to raise it
when the devil headed him off and in
great agitation said. For heavens
sake, man, don't raise that kettle.
(Here he named the mean man who
had been noted for gobbling up
all the land in his neighborhood
through foreclosing mortgages is I'M
der that kettle and II let him out he
will own hell in three months.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Henry. B. Harris will offer at the
Grand this evening, Charles Kleins
latest successful play, The Third De-
gree which enjoys the distinction
OF having a lofty purpose and being
a fit companion to his THE Lion and
the Mouse Unlike the latter, "The
Third Degree does not deal wholly
with capital and love. Rather is it
more interesting because of it's treat
ment of the mysterious police third
degree" But the love story, as fas-
cinating and absorbing as was that of
Shirley Rossmore and Jefferson Ry-
der, in "The Lion and the Mouse" is
in evidence with all the vigor and
spirit Of the Klein style.
Mr.. Klein's happy faculty Of telling
simple story forcibly is admirably
told in "The Third Degree. His story
Is said to trip along as If on silvery
heels, never tagging by the wayside
to tease playgoers.
The presenting cast is an excep-
tionally strong one, being headed by

No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and I'M

icine we know Of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Tegetab BILE Compound
For more than so years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors. Irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration. and it is
uneqnalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
It costs but little to try Lydia E.

ing Rules Which are snubbed
by the Motor Men Of
the Country.

The monumental gall displayed by
the National Association OF Boat and
Engine Builders in an effort to foisl
upon the motor boat racing public a
set OF racing rules and regulations has
probably never been equalled by any
class of men who depend upon sport
loving public for their business.
Through certain motor boat publica
tions, issued in the west and con-
trolled by men interested In the man
ufacture of boats and engines, they
would have the dear motor boat public
believe their association represents
every boating organization in the Unit
ed States. In reality they practically
control no real live motor boat club,
certainly none in the middle west.
Their rules are fantastic conglomer
alton of weights and measures which
could not be wormed into a boat rae
ing public through a correspondence
school. They even go so far as to
differently rate two and four cycle
engines. To obtain a class of boats
eligible to start under these rules it
would be necessary for FIVE or six
prospective racing men to buy boats
and equip them especially for the
classes outlined presumably the pur-
chaser would be forced to buy from
some manufacturer who aided In get
ting up the Chinese puzzle which they
have dignifed with the name of racing
rules.
There is satisfaction in the thought
that not one iota Of attention will
ever be paid to these rules by the
Western OF the Mississippi Valley as.
ISOLATION. The latter association made
that clear at Burlington last summer
and the same sentiment was clearly
expressed at the Western meeting in
Chicago last Saturday. These two as
sociations will race speed boats in
the four classes-20, rs, 80 and 40 foot
with no restrictions save the overall
limitation and the chimerical Nation
al association may draft rules until
they are blue In the face.
