The stock company would play his
piece admirably, since all be wanted
was a good ensemble; no new decora-
tons would be needed nor any change
at all.
So the piece would be read, and as
the roles were distributed Hugo would
say musingly, "Dieu. how fine Freder-
lex would be in that partv' '"That is
true" Horel would murmur, and few
days after he would announce that
Frederick was engaged. Hugo would
then demonstrate that this destroyed
the equipoise of the cast, and Raucourt,
Laferriere and Mile. Georges would
be engaged. Then Hugo would attack
the stage setting. Old scenes that
the public had tired Of were almost
an insult to these great artists. If
Horel showed reluctance at this, Hugo
would threaten to withdraw his piece.
And so the game would go on till,
little by little, Hugo had obtained ev-
erything he wanted, even to the

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Danger
GUS for Mineral Point People
to Neglect.

The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they get firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined. Backache,
headache, nervousness, lameness, sore
ness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy,
diabetes and Bright's disease follow IN
merciless succession. Don't neglect
your kidneys. Cure the kidneys with
the certain and safe remedy Doan's
Kidney Pills, which has cured people
right here in Mineral Point.

Point, Wis, says: About a year ago
I was having some trouble with my
kidneys. The kidney secretions were
irregular in passage and unnatural.

THE PLANETS.
They All, With Their Satellites, Elk.
hibit Phases Like the Moon.

We are likely to regard the moon as
the only thing in the heavens that ex-
hibits phases such as the quarter, the
half and the full. AS matter of fact.
all planets and their satellites exhibit
separately such phases, and most of
them can be easily seen with a small
power telescope. Thus Mars and We
nus, which are comparatively close to
the earth, show through the telescope
at times beautiful crescent, at others
a half planet fully as brilliant, consid-
ering the distance, as does our satellite.
At times also the planets suffer eclipse,
just as the earth, the moon and the
sun, and these eclipses are foretold
with as great accuracy.
AS to just what causes the phases,
say of the moon, is easy to comprehend
by homely analogy. If one stands in
a corner of a room, places globe of
some description in the next corner and
a light in the third corner the phenom-
enon of the half moon is seen. The
light, representing the sun, shines OF
course on half the globe representing
the moon, but the observer in the cor
ner sees only half Of the surface to-
ward him Illuminated. If now the light
be placed behind the observer and
little above his head a full moon will
be seen, the "sun," however, shining
on the same area of surface as before,
merely allowing this time view from
the earth of the whole amount Of
illumination. All the phases can be
demonstrated in this manner by NOV
ing the moon directly outward from
its corner.
One of the greatest discoveries Of sci
ence is due to observation of the
eclipses Of Jupiter's moons. It was
found that when the earth was in the
part of its orbit nearest to Jupiter
these eclipses occurred sixteen minutes
earlier than when it was in the far
thermost part, whereas by all rules Of
astronomy they should have occurred
at the same minute each time. 1t was
deduced from this that light was not
instantaneous and consequently took
sixteen minutes to traverse the diam
eter of the earth's orbit, distance Of
about 2O0,O00,000 miles, thus giving to
light velocity Of 10000 miles a Sec
ond, which was accurately shown later
bv other experiments.-St. Louis Re

AustraIia's Stony Desert.

The great stony desert Of north Aus
tralia was discovered by Captain Sturt,
an Australian explorer, in 1856. It
is north Of the river Darling and is
about 300 miles long and 100 broad,
consisting of sandy dunes or ridges.
Its want of trees, except along the
creeks, gives the country sterile ap-
pearance These ridges were probably
formed by the joint effect Of winds
and a gradually retiring sea. Accord
ing to Captain Sturt, these waters
were gradually lost by evaporation or
carried to some undiscovered sea. The
only vegetation, growing scantily, is
prickly acacias in full bloom, all Of
stunted growth. Water is scarce ex-
cept in the creeks which are sheltered,
and this is generally brackish. Few
travellers care to traverse this inhos-
pitable desert.

The Blue of Sapphires.

Star sapphires are generally of a
grayish blue tint. and the star is ex-
hibited in it's greatest perfection when
looked at by the ligh: of the sun or
candle. The sapphire is found Of all
tints and shades Of blue, but the color
which approximates to the shade for
merly called "bleu do roi" is the most
valuable. A really fine sapphire should
appear blue by artificial light as well
as by day. This stone is found in
crystals generally of much larger size
than the ruby. The name sapphire is
perhaps the only one which runs
through all languages with very slight
alteration-the Hebrew name sapphir.

firos, the Latin sapphirus. etc.

HELPING HUMANITY.
Father and Son Viewed Conditions
From Opposite Standpoints.

Father and Son Viewed Conditions
From Opposite Standpoints.
Twenty years ago, says the Chicago
Advance, a discouraged young doctor
In a large city was visited once by his
old father, who came up from a rural
district to look after his boy.
"Wel, son." he said, chow are you
getting along?
"I'm not getting along at ALL" was
the disheartened reply. "I'm not do
ing a thing"
The old mans countenance fell, but
he spoke of courage and patience and
perseverance. Later in the day he
went with his son to the free dis
pensary, where the young doctor had
an unsalaried position and where he
spent an hour or more every day. The
father sat by, silent but intensely In
terested spectator, while twenty five
poor unfortunates- received help. The
doctor forgot his visitor while he bent
his skilled energies to the task, but
hardly had the door closed on the last
patient when the old man burst forth:
IT thought you told me that you
were not doing anything! Why, if I
had helped twenty-five people in a
month as much as you have in one
morning / would thank God my life
counted for something"
There isn't any money in it,
though" explained the son, somewhat
ohocbad ssNIopoUr, tho old man ShOuI-
ed, still scornfully. Money! What
is money in comparison with being of
use to your fellow men? Never mind
about money. You go right along at
this work every day. I'll go back to
the farm and gladly earn money
enough to support you as long as 1
hve-yes, and sleep sound every night
with the thought that l have helped
you to help your fellow men,"

Visited Home of His Youth.

From The Outlook, published at
Owingsville, Kentucky:
William Mcneil and son Frank re-
turned home Thursday to Mineral
Point, Wisconsin. Mr.. Mcneil is
son of Hugh Mcneil, and came to this
country from Ulster, Ireland, with his
parents, who lived for some time on
Hugh's brother Alexander McNeilps
farm (now owned by the heirs OF VIM.
C. Allen on Slate creek. The Hugh
MCNEIL house was on the eastern part
of the farm on top of the hill. William
left here with his parents in 1854, he
being II years old at the time, and set
tied in Wisconsin. Land there at the
time sold at 81 per acre, and some OF it
is now worth $1G9 AS age came on
VIM. McNeill had desire to visit the
home of his youth, but he found few
survivors that he had known at the
time. He visited the supposed site of
his old home.

ENLARGEMENT OF
THE OXIDE WORKS
Described by J. III. Lewis in the
Milwaukee Free Press.
MINERAL POINT.

MINERAL
The future industrial greatness of
Iowa county, in which many of the best
zinc producers in this field are and have
been located for many years, is being
worked out at this point by the New
Jersey Zinc company, which is spend
ing heavy sums of money in the en-
largement of the zinc oxide works and
calciners for the treatment of low grade
zinc ores. Personal inspection Of the
proposed additions show a ground plan
exceedingly larger than that covered by
the old works, Already the new plant
is assuming tangible form and the
heavy concrete foundations are about
completed and the grading and eleva-
ton of tracks and the new ore bins are
ready for service. Thousands of tons
of oxide ores imported from western
states have been piled up on the ground
product takes place the supply will be
added to until 81 100000 worth of ore
will be ready for plant burning not
less than 200 tons of ore daily. AS
Highland is furnishing from five to ten
cars of this grade of ore weekly and is
in position to double this turnout easily
it requires no mathematician to figure
out that this point will be the objective
point of big boom, as the works here
will snap up every pound OF locally
produced ore as fast as it is ready for
market. This applies as well to the
outside camps producing low grade
blended ores which will here be treated
for separator ore and rushed on to De-
pue, ILL.,, where the largest zinc smelter
in the world, owned by the New Jersey
Zinc company, is located The general
western manager of the works, William
A. Jones, has a thorough grasp of the
details applying to every branch of the
industry and the physical organization
of the works throughout is the best in
this field. He has brought to his as
sistance corps of able lieutenants who
are all experts in the zinc business and
every movement made here spells sue
cess.

The death of Maj, William A. Will

of regret to hundreds of friends
throughout this section, where he had
so long resided.
Mr.. Wilson was stricken with parai-
ysis on Monday and never recovered
from its effects, the end coming slow
ly during two days.
Than Major Wilson no resident CT
Sumter county was more widely
known. The best portion of his eigh-
ty-two years of useful life were spent
here, and few were there more es
teemed.
He was native of Putnam county,
but for more than half a century he
had resided in Americus and in the
county
Prior to the civil war, in which Ae
served with the Georgia troops, ite
was president of Furlow Masonic
Female College at that time one of the

of pleasant small parties of members
and friends, who have found that it
is one of the most delightful of places
to spend an evening with an informal
card party and luncheon.
The club house is a ready suitably
equipped for these little social af-
fairs, there being ample furnishings
for card parties and convenient ar
rangements for the cooking and serv-
ing of tasteful lunches. The popular
ity of the Country Club for social af-
fairs of this character is steadily on
the increase and it is probable that
around it win center much of the
social life of the city during the sum

On Wednesday night one of the most
delightful of these small parties oc-
cupied the great living hall of the
club house, playing bridge whist. In
the party were Mrs Reed Curry, Of
Charlotte, n c.. Mrs. Henry Lanier,

BEARS SEEN AGAIN IN
MUCKAIEE SWAMP
Chance to Organize Local
Shots for Hunt.

1t isn't case now of Run, mig
ger run, or de paterole catch ye.' It's
case of run, niger, run or the little
black bear'll catch you.
Somewhere out in the Muckalee
swamp a pair of bears and probably
more than one pair, probably with a
progeny of cubs, are lingering, the
last remnants of the army of bears
that probably made the long creek
swamp their home in years remote.
Two or three years ago, it will be
recalled, a black bear weighing about
three hundred pounds was shot out in
the swamp near Americas. A second
bear was sighted at the same time,
but got away
Wednesday a good-sized bear was
sighted on the edge of the swamp
about two miles west of the city.
The negro who sighted the bear
works for Mr.. Fred B. Arthur aud
he hastened to town to tell the story.
Bear tracks have been seen at other
points along the swamp, and it is the
impression that there are probably
several bears ranging through the
swamp.
A grand bear hunt is suggested in
the near future. All the local nim-
rods would doubtless like to take a
hand in beating the swamp throughout
its Sumter county range for the chancs
of bagging a genuine bear.
No farmers have reported new de-
predations on their stock, but proba-
bly, some pigs wandering in the swamp
have disappeared. along with a stray
calf now and then. to feed bruin.
