In one o. the companies Of . Wis

de-. c: lawrence college who are
studying for the ministry. While the
regiment was at Camp Douglass this
summer some Of the boys OF the COM
pany thought to have . little fun at
the expense OF the two ministers.
When the beer. which some one had
sent to the regiment as treat, was
to be served they asked their captain
II the two ministers might serve II.
He said they might. The boys were
1ubilant and served notice Of their
new duty to the two students
Ono Of them refused to have any
thing to do with 1t, but the other.
Private Keith. took the notice. which
read: The beer must be served on
tho grounds and no man must get
drunk" and said he would obey 1t.
He went to his lieutenant and asked
him II the company might be held at
parade rest while he served the beer.
He was assured that II should be done.
Private Keith then rolled the keg
up in front Of his company. knocked
out the bung and let the beer out on
the ground. When It had all run out
he turned to his lieutenant, gave the
salute and said:
Lieutenant, have served the beer

DROWNED THE MUSIC.
The Audience Was Angry. and Theo
dorc Thomas Was Obstinate.

Theodore Thomas once undertook to
raise ii subscription fund for series
Of concerts In San Francisco. but only
$4,000 had been raised. and the en-
ierprise hung fire. Then he announced
that E,aEla Thursby would sing at
each concert. and the guarantee fund
promptly went up to $4,000.
Thomas had a rule against encores
for soiosts. They We're allowed to ap-
pear and bow in recognition OF ap-
plause. but that was all. The San
Franciscans held that as II was Miss
Thursby's engagement which was re
sponsible for the raising Of the fund
they were entitled to encore her If they
chose Thomas. however. insisted
stubbornlv on his rule.
On the last night n determined effort
was made to encore her. She appeared
again and again. bowling her thanks.
and each time the applause increased
instead of diminishing. At last the
audience began to shout its demands
instead OF merely applaudins, and Miss
Thursby turned to Thomas and said
what shall do:''
Neep Oh DoWiug II you uaNe 10 poW
all night snapped Thomas grimly.
And she went out and bowed again.
This time Thomas directed the orches-
ira TO go ahead with the final nurnher.
The audience, thoroughly ind snant.
shouted down the music. but Thomas
was inIexible. The orchestra went on
playing. utterly unheard. in pande-

RHEUMATISM
PAINFUL & DANGEROUS

Rheumatism is due to a diseased
condition Of the blood cells and cor
puscles, brought about by an excess
OF uric acid in the circulation. 1t is
not only very painful disease but an
extremely dangerous trouble. The
briny, acrid state OF the blood gradu-
ally forms coating over the muscles,
and by depositing a cenent-like sub
stance in the joints frequently tertni-
mates fatally, or leaves its victim a
hopeless cripple 1t is natura. to
"doctor the spot that hurts, and it is
quite right to use lininents, hot appli-
cations, ETC., to get temporary relief
from painful joint or swollen tendon;
but Rheumatism is not skin disease,
and such things, when depended on
alone make one careless. and the dis
ease gets a frmer hold on the blood.
S. S. S. cures the disease because it is
the greatest of all blood purifiers. 1t
