MUSIC AS A llFE-sAvE ::
Tale From the Vastly Deep That
Proves Truth OF Song Warbied
by Poet.

Up from the Vastly deep comes a
tale that proves the truth OF what the
poet sang when he warbled to the
effect that music hath charms to
sooth the savage breast.
The story has been delivered in
New York by the crew of the bark
Pallas. which was wrecked on Grand
Cayman island In the Caribbean sea
during the recent tropical hurricane.
When the vessel struck it was in the
night. and in order to cheer up their
comrades during the hours before day
light. two of the crew. who happened
to be musicians. ground out tunes on
a fiddle and accordion That the per-
formers escaped to tell the tale must
be put down as remarkable evidence
Of the fnrtitude and forgiveness on the
part OF the men who were facing
death IN watsry graves.
However. no murder was done. and
when day broke the natives OF the
island wore seen hurrying 10 the res
cue in such boats as they could ca4a-
mand. They explained that they had
heard the music and had some down
to investigate the strange occurrence.
The whole LOT Of shipwreeked men. az
well as some chickens and a pig were
taken ashore. and grand barbecue
with fiddle and concertina accompani-
mcnt. celebrated the rescue
All of which points to the moral
that when one goes down to the sea
In a ship he should carry some pro-

A Mater of Manners.

No comic opera is complete today
unless it contains one song in which
one of the principals or the chorus, or
both, may sing at the audience. I'm
doubtedly every audience enjoys be

college youths. home on vacation,
take great delight in being singled
out for particular attention. But
thece should be limit to this bust
ness. It is hardly fair to turn the
spotlight on some wholly inoffensive
couple In the middle of the house
while the singer lifts her voice in
song to ask the man, Who are you
with tonight?" OF course, the rest of
the audience is vastly interested, es-

DIRT PROOF 1AksTAND.

Automatic Device Patented by E. III.
Allen Being Widely Exploited in
Commercial World-General Use
Assured,
F. H. Allen, the progressive proprietor
of Aliens Foundry and an inventor OF
many successful mechanical appliances OF
various kinds, recently invented and
patented dirt-proof automatic inkstand
which bids fair to achieve wide popularity.
An illustration of the inkstand is pre-
sented herewith, showing its simplicity OF
construction and ease of manipulation
b 18th of which features have been developer
to an unusual degree Of adequacy. MIR. Al
len spent three years perfecting this inven-
ton, and believes he has brought it to
a state Of perfection where it will compare
more than favorably with any other de-
vice Of similar nature now on the
market.
Charles .Oschwald, proprietor Of tbt
Palace Drug Store, and Paul Braud. as
sistant cashier of the Bank of Ascension,
who have had twenty years practical ex-
oerience with office work, were so favor
ably impressed with the merits of the
Allen inkstand that they acquired the sell
ing agency and have inausurated CAM
paien of exploitation in order to bring the
device to the attention Of the commercial
world. They claim that the inkstand vii!
pay for itself by reducing the consump-
tioa Of ink, since the ink will not evaporate
or solidify. but will always remain fluid in
the Allen inksfaud- They strongly recon-
mend it. and back up their assurances OF
its superiority with the positive guarantee
hat if it fails to give satisfaction they
will gladly refund the purchase price.
A large number of the inkstands have
been sold in this city. and so far Messrs
Oschwald g. Braud have not heard of 6
single dissatisfied purchaser or had thei,
attention called to any instance wherein.
the claims made for the excellent device
were not entirely borne out in every re-
speet.

COburnss Minstrels Coming.

THAT popular attraction, Coburns
Greater Minstrels. with their funny COM
edians, splendid dancers. laughter-pro-
voking end men and jokers, will be seen
again this season at the jGondran Theatre
next Friday night, Feb. 10. No guarantee

pany as first-class, reliable ard progress
i've old-time minstrel show. The singers
are the best, the music the latest. the
comedy the cleanest, and the fun the fun
niest presented by any minstrel company
which visits this city.
The old saying that ''ali minstrel shows
are alike does not hold good with Joe
Coburns attraction, for the reason that he
.lways brings a new show every year,
new faces, new novelty and comedy
features, new scenery. costumes, music
md comedians. The performers must be
live ones, their work clean and artistic,
heir music, jokes and acts the latest, or
there is no place for them with this show.
5oburn's Minstrels never disappoint, never
iail to please, and never break a contract
either with the manager or the public.
It is usually good, wholesome, clean at
traction. and will. doubtless play to a
crowded house on the occasion of its ap-
pearance here next Friday night.

CAUSES So Per CENT
DE- DISEASES.
Advice Concerning Stomach Troubles
and How to Remedy Them.

Do not neglect indigestion, which leads
to all sorts of ills and complications An
eminent doctor once said that ninety-fye
per cent of all the ills of the human body
have their origin in disordered stomach.
A physician who made speciality OF
stomach troubles, particularly dyspepsia,
after years of study perfected the formula
from which RexalI Dyspepsia Tablets are
made.
Our experience with Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets leads us to believe them to be the
greatest remedy known for the relief Of
acute indigestion and chronic dyspepsia.
Their ingredients are soothing and hea,-
ing to the inaamed membranes of the
stomach. They are rich in pepsin, one Of
the greatest digestive aids known to med
icine. The relief they afford is almost i'm
mediate. Their use with persistency and
regularity for a short time brings about a
cessation of the pains caused by stomach
disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will insure
healthy appetite, aid digestion and pro-
mote nutrition. AS evidence of our sim
cere faith in Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, we
ask you to try them at our risk. II they
do not give you entire satisfaction, we
will return you the money you paid us for
them. without question or formaiity. They
come in three sizes, prices Is cents, so
cents and ST. Remember, you can obtain
them only at our store The X-Ray Phar-
