A CHILD's STORY.

At the approach of Valentine Day
last year 1 offered prize of SIS to
the little boys of my Sunday school
class for the best short love story.
have one of the stories here, and
am going to read it to you.
Mr.. McWade then read:
"a poor man fell in love with a
lady whose mother was rich toy
dealer.
"The poor man could not marry
the rich lady because he had no
money.
"a william then offered him $50 if
he would become a drunkard.
1.-The poor man wanted the money
to get married with, so he agreed |;
but when he got to the beer saloon
he said:
No, will not become drunk
ard, even for great riches
"On the way home he found a bag
of gold So the young lady married
him. 1t was a splendid wedding and
the next day they had twins.
"Moral: Virtue is it's own re
ward"

Lyceum Theatre.

The mere announcement that new
addition of "The Flirting Princess" a
musical comedy, is booked at the Ly'
ceum for four day engagement start
ing Sunday matinee and including
souvenir matinee Tuesday would not
necessarily create much comment were
it not for the fact that Harry Bulger
heads the list and that his terpsicho-
rean melange is under the manage
ment of Mort H. Singer; and that the
"FIirting Princess" is by far the best
effort of those clever song writers
Hough, Adams and Howard. Local
Manager Moore is justly proud OF this
booking, and, Judging by advance in
quries at this early date, is quite ju-
bilant of splendid patronage.
"The Stampede" one of the real
dramatic successes of the season will
be sean for the first time in Toledo the
latter half of the week starting souve-
mir matinee Thursday. Producer
Delemater has supplied cast of more
than the usual strength at the head
of which Lillian Buckingham, a noted
western actress, who will be seen as
an Indian girl, who for her people
sacrifices her love and happiness.
Like Strongheart, The Squawman or
The Great Divide, it Is great play
pleasing thousand of theatre goers
everywhere as it will undoubtedly do
here during this engagement.

Frederic Hurd, the celebrated mapi-
clan, who was at the Dixie .Theater
this week, is truly an artist in his line
and is deserving Of much praise. The
outfit that he carries is complete and
entire. His furnishings, ETC., are ele-
giant and up-to-date. His feats of leg
erdemain are all new and novel. He Is
ably assisted by his wife, Madam Hurd.
His feature act is his chest mystery.
which he claims has never been unrav-
eled, and which he has shown in Lon
don, England, and in South America,
He uses an ordinary wooden CHI est.
well riveted together with iron bolts.
1t is locked with two catch locks and
the key turned over to one of the two
gentlemen that may be on the stage.
Mr.. Hurd then allows the gentlemen.
after locking the chest, to tie the chest
securely with ropes in any fashion they
see mt. He then places himself in his
shlrtsleeves, upon top of the chest, al
lowing the gentlemen to tie him to the
chest in any manner they choose. The
curtain is hen drawn and in less than
two minutes the curtain is thrown back
and he has disappeared. The ropes are

no public campaign to educate our PEG.
Pile to this vital need is being carried on,
All of our money, all of our energy
seem to be directed against diseases
that can be communicated. Is not q
life lost from Bright's disease as valu,
able as one lost by typhoid fever?
The annual loss from pneumonia ag.
gregates 1856, 900 lives, a large portion
OF which is due to weakened bodily re-
sistance resulting from these degener.
alive affections.
Cancer, a battling disease of the de-
generati"e class to which our people in
their present physical condition are
highly susc ptible. claims Is, 600 lives
annually. and is increasing very fast.
Deaths from external cancer alone have
increased So per cent in trn years.
Pellagra, a deadly plague new to this
country. is rapidly increasing in some
of our Southern states, and it excites
! but slight public concern.
Over $50, 900 Americans are DESTROYED
annually by tuberculosis. We know
how to prevent it, but our taxpayers
object to the expense and leave the
battle almost wholly to charity.
Nearly a million afflicted people are
spreading the poison of tuberculosis to
the well with virtually no official re-
straint or supervision because of the
expense.
Over Is, 900 Americans are still sac
rificed annually to the ~preventable filth
disease typhoid fever. About 800, 900
suffer from it and are more or less i'm
paired by it.
Other germ diseases are wasting
more lives than typhoid and tuberculo-
Sis combined. We are warning against
them, but compared to the lives still
being lost, u efforts are feeble and
only partially effective.
Over 80. 900 Americans are killed an
nually by accidents and various forms
of violence. Our efforts to prevent the
steady increase of this waste have
failed.
The annual economic loss due to pre-
ventable disease and death is consery-
atively estimated at 81, 500, 600, 90. and
our fire loss at about $3.50, 600, 600.
To prevent fire waste our cities spend
through the public service approx
mately $1.65 per capita, and to prevent
life waste. 80 cents per capita.
1t is estimated that 1900, 900 of our
people are constantly suffering from
~preventatle disease, and that during
the next ten years American lives
equaling the population of the Pacific
coast and Rocky Mountain states, g.
600, 900, will be ~needlessly destroyed, IL
the present estimated mortality from
~preventable and p~ostponable disease
continues.

A Picture of Heaven
(Bv George Fitch in the Kansas City
Journal.)

by George Fitch in the Kansas City
Journal,)
Heaven is a state of future bliss and
present hope.
No n knows just where Heaven
is and few of US are very confident of
reaching the real place, owing to the
fact that in order to inhabit Heaven a
man must have practiced up until he
can exist without causing anyone else
any bother or uphappiness.
This requirement has cut down the
emigration to Heaven to a very small
figure annually. 1t only those people
who think of themselves last can enter
Heaven, it is growing more slowly than
Albany, N. Y.
Heaven is spoken of by all competent
authorities as a place of great delight
and an ideal place for perpetual resi-
dence. We can well believe it, owing
to the vast number of people who can't
get into Heaven.
There are nc proud and naughty So
ciety folk in Heaven to make the or
binary citizens with large feet feel like
a superfiuous incumbrance on the planet.
There are no peevish and ill-natured
people in Heaven. A person could clerk
in a store there for II, zoo, 900 years
and not be bullied by a customer.
There are no gossips, lazy people or
chronic borrowers in Heaven. There
are no law breakers or quarrelsome
people and of millionaires, politicians
and lawyers the population only shows
a trace.
All of these lacks make Heaven by
far the earth's most desirable subur-
ban place of residence. If a resident
of Heaven is in trouble, he deals out
numbers to those waiting to help him,
as a barbe. deals out checks on Satur-
day night. If a resident starts a f.
nancial scheme in Heaven he hires the
most competent authority in the place
to tell him whether he will i~nconveni-
ence anyone by it. If a resident OF
Heaven wishes to run for office, he
hires the town crier to ask if anyone
els wants it before he becomes a can.
didate. If a resident of Heaven gets
ill-tempered, he calls a doctor and has
himself q~uarantined until he gets we'll.
Because of all these facts, a great
many people are spending their lives on
this earth trying to fit themselves for
residence in Heaven and by their eff
forts they are making this earth itself
u much more desirable place of resi-
dence.
