LENA Rivers"

Lena Rivers" is to be presented at
the Cairo opera house tonight. The
book from which the play was dra.
matted mas been read by millions,
and 1t would seem as if every one
who mas done so, wants TO see the
play dramatized
In dramitizing Lena Rivers" Miss
Poynter made every effort to retain
all OF those things which made the
book so entertaining. As rule
many demonstrations have failed to
thoroughly catch the spirit OF the
novels from which they were taken.
This fs not the case, however, with
Lena Rivers as II is the most salts
fly comedy OF its class before the
public. Miss Roselnd Lee will be
seen In the title role of LENA" and
her work has been praised highly. She
has not only charm OF person, but
is an actress of ability. She is sup
ported by capable company, which
was personally selected by Miss
Poynter.

But That Was No Excuse For Publicly
Insulting Him.

But That Was No Excuse For Publicly
Insulting Him.
About the year 1S47 Charles Webb
WAS playing at the old Chatham thea
her. New York, and during the ell.
gagement hs became intimate with
young fish dealer named Shapleigh,
loing business in Washington market.
lrhe fish dealer was genius In more
ways than one. In his younger days
he had belonged to juvenile dramat-
Ec company. and 10 his manhood, since
making Webbs acquaintance. he had
been behind the curtain during re-
hearsal and had really fancied he would
e'deariy love to appear Just once"
Webb became satisfied that Shap-
leigh could act and was willing to
please him. and 1t so happened that
IN opportunity presented itself which
had not been anticipated. The night
of Webb's benefit had been fixed, on
which occasion he was to play the
character Of Hamlet. The actor who
had been set apart for the character
of polonius was unexpectedly called
AWAY, in which emergency Webb
sought his friend at Washington mar
ket and asked him if he would help
him. Shapleigh was only too glad TO
do It, The eyentful night came, and
front box had been reserved for Shap
leich's wife and little daughter and
other relatives and friends. The house
was packed. with every bit of standing
room occupied. The play commenced
and all went well, the beneficiary re-
ceiving round after round of applause
on his first entrance, and 1t was the
same with the kind friend who had
$50 magnanimously volunteered his
valuable services" The first act went
off smoothly. In the second act, scene
l2, Polonius is on the stage with
king and queen. when to them en-
tiers Hamlet. reading from a book.
King and queen are unceremoniously
hustled out Of the way. DO you
know me, my lord?" Polonius asks.
( Excellent we'll You are a fishmon-
ger" Hamlet replies, according to the
text. This aroused the Indignation of
Shapleighs wife, and forgetting all
else but the direct insult offered to
her husband. she exclaimed loud
enough to be heard In every part of
the house: well, it amt very nice Of
you, Mr.. Webb. after Tom has been
so good to you to go showing him up
in public in that fashion, ia have
you know that fshmonger as you
call him. is as good as an actor any
day" For moment a wondering 81
lence fell upon the house. That mo-
ment was caught by Shapleigh, whose
wits had not forsaken him, and, look
ing up toward his wife's box, he said,
with an assuring nod: IT'S all right.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Cairo People Should Learn to Detect
the Approach of Kidney
Diaease

The symptoms of kidney trouble
are so unmistakable that they leaaae
no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys
excrete a 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 oc-
cur and the victim is often weighed
down by 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 Cairo
proof:
Mrs. Henry Etz. 225. Nineteenth
street, Cairo, Ill.,, says: 81 am glad
to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills, as
consider them to be the best kidney
remedy in existence. They have been
