Ths -. Cd Woman.

"W hat caused your sudden blowing m?'' asked veteran in Shade Land of a woman who just arrived. The wom- an gave 8 sigh that blew over a tomb stone as she replied: T am an old fashioned woman, and I did my work in a kitchen with a six hole range, a big sink. threa long tables, two pan tries and a dishpan large enough to wash a turkey in. Two days ago I went to visit my daughter in big city and found her cooking for her family in a chafng dish, doing her dishes in a washbowl and keeping them stored in the lower part of the washstand. When l saw her get the bread out of big bowl on the piano called a jardiniere and reach for the butter out of the window felt cold chiii come over me, and when she made soup by opening a tin can and pouring out a mess to which she add ed water from the wash pitcher l knew no more" Then the old fash toned woman gave such a sniff of dis gust it blew all the shades over into the next county.-Atchison Globe.

A Master Tactician.

"Why," expostulated the lady in the brown dress when the artist who had painted portrait of her little daugh- ter said the price ofssthe picture was $1OO, Nyou charged Mrs. Crawford only $6S for the picture you painted of her Lucy"
 'I am aware of that fact, my dear madam" the suave and polite artist hastened to explain, but you must consider the great difference in the costs of the paints used for the hair of the two children. The scant, drab celored hair of the Crawford child re. quired just a touch of the cheapest kind of pigment. but the wonderfully beautiful and Iixuriant curls of your lovely daughter required a large quan- tity of the best paints on the market"
 Then the lady in thes brown dress smiled. tool! out her purse and begged the artists pardon for having spoken rudely to him.-Chicago News.

JACKsoN's
JACKSON'S VAUDEVILLE.

The return to vaudeville at this theatre was the means of attracting audiences of tremendous proportions at all three performances given yes terday. and the bill which Manager Jackson had arranged was received in q most appreciative manner. It is a bill which Is going to become mighty popular, and deservedly so, with local Amusement seekers, ere the week is finished. There is not a poor act on the bill, not even a "fair' act, and the program is varied enough to suit the most blase vaudevillian. The walsh Bros. opening the show, pre- sent a neat singing and dancing act, in fact one of the best that has, ever been seen in local vaudeville thea Ire. Dancing acts ares always popu- lar with local audiences and judging from the applause which was meted out to this team at yesterdays per- formances, they scored large sized hit McGrath and Yeoman followed in. an original comedy and singing skit entitled ''The Lunatic and the Maid This is immensely funny throughout and invariably has its au- ditors in a convulsive state of laugh ter A number of charming solos and duets are rendered in finished and highly artistic style. Their duets were undoubtedly the most warmly receiv- ed, TOT Tn them tne1r excellent VOlceS harmonize splendidly. That polite en- tertainer, Chas. O'Toole has them all laughing at his numerous character stories and limitations. He is probably at his best in his characterization of the typical Irishman, and he handles that role with a rich brogue, which is not alone highly amusing, but an art istic accomplishment in itself. The Breakaway Barlows. who are head lining the bill closed the show, offer ing what is claimed, and unques- tionably is the most sensational aerial act ever conceived. It is absolutely the limit in daring, and furnishes a thrill a moment. These during per- formers execute any number of start ling feats, closing their act with the most nerve racking of all stunts. While seated upon this ladder-trapeze, it apparently breaks in two, the rungs and connecting parts fall to the stage and it revolves, with each performer clinging to a side, at terrific rate of speed. It Is a great act and fit ting headliner to a great bill. This program will be repeated this even ing and tomorrow matinee and night. The usual admission price is prevail ing.

Trapped.

The man was neither neatly nor well dressed. He was plainly tramp, beg ging, and had just turned away from one passerby when he saw young man walking briskly toward him. "Please, mister,' said the tramp, "can you give me dime to get something to eat?''
 The young man stopped. "What's the natter" he asked.
 Cant get york;" said the other glibly. 'I haven't had a bite to eat since yesterday morning. Pawned all my clothes 'cepting these. Slept under a wharf for week, and I don't know anybody in the whole city-honest, don't"
 The young man looked at the tramps smooth face, over which razor had evidently passed very recently.
 "Who shaved you this morning? he asked, and as the beggar faded away the young man grinned and walked on down the street-Youth's Companion.

The Battle Of Chatons,

There have been so many bloody battles it is perhaps impossible to say with absolute certainty which of them all was the bloodiest. but the balance of the evidence seems to be in favor of the battle of Chalons, France fought A.

GOVERNMENT GUARDING
 AGAINST RESURRECTION
 OVER THE KINGS DEATH

Cairo, May 13.-In the belief that the death of King Edward and the resulting political confusion may be seized upon as an opportune time for starting an insurrection against Eng fish authority, the government has stopped the leave of all British army officers in Egypt. The troops are be- ing constantly practiced in field maneuvers so as to be ready to deal with disorders on a moments notice.
 UneasineSs is felt concerning the loyalty of the native soldiers. The customs officials are cooperating with the military by searching all consign- ments of merchandise for smuggled arms and ammunition. This work is being done so. thoroughly that it may not interfere with the business of inn nOrtatiOn.
