If New York society people Wlth
 more money than they know what to do with give diamond collars and din- ners to monkeys and dogs, and at these feasts furnish the guests with cigarettes made out of hundred dollar bills, as Frederick Townsend Martin relates in his new edition of 'The Passing of the Idle Rich"; if some of our society functions are notable for exhibitions of indecent dancing both
 bv professfonals and amateurs, this does not indicate that New York so- caety has become sensual and effete; bat merely that those who indulge in these forms of entertainment are lack ing In eulture and everness.

Charles Durham, Lovington, Ill. has succeeded in finding a positive cure for bed wetting. My little boy wet the bed every night clear thro' on the floor. I tried several kinds of kidney medicine and I was in the drug store looking for something diff ferent to help him when I heard of Foley Kidney PiIs. After he had taken them two days we could see a change and when he had taken two thirds of a bottle he was cured. That is about six weeks ago and he has not wet in bed since" L. F. Curtis.

BREED THEATER.
Marshall P. Wilder and John Bunny
Co-Stars in "Chumps."

Overwhelmingly funny, with every
scene more hilarious than it's precedent,
and every character more amusing and
interesting than the other, the great
melton picture comedy triumph
"ChumpsS delighted a multitude at the
Breed yesterday. Last evening stand
ing room was at premium, and the
immense old building was filled to ov-
erfiowing at both performances
Marshall P. Wilder, the delight of the
400 and entertainer to the most exclu-
sive audiences the country over, APP
pears as a co-star with John Bunny
comedy king of the Vitagraph cast
famous also for his rotund figure, ir-
resistibIe smile, and droll mimicry
These two are rival suitors for the
hand of a dancing girl whom they
have seen at the opera, and after TAX
ing her to dinner after the perform
ance was over they are overcome with
her charms, until her father makes his
appearance and drives them from the
house. Th9 girl knows they are two
easy marks, and contrary to her faith
eT's wishes invites them to call again
Each supposing he was the favored
one makes excuse to the other, feign-
ing illness, which will prevent their
meeting as planned,
bunny dITlNeS at the &lTl mouse
first, with a generous box of candy,
and all goes we'll until Wilder is an
nounced. He arrives with a huge box
of roses. and Bunny is secreted in the
pOrtieres. Wilder is fed on Bunnys
candy, unit a third party arrives,
when Willer is hidden under the grand
piano cover. Later the father arrives
and the third party is hidden under
the sofa, and the girl is in a delirium
at this stage, trying to keep her three
suitors concealed
Finally all three agree to face the
music and greet the caustic father sim
ultaneously. He is overwhelmed, and
during the explanation it comes out
that the third party has been secretly
married to the girl, and poor Bunny
and Wilder are nonplussed. Here is one
Of the most hilarious portions of the
picture, for Wilder falls in crying
faint, and is tenderiy carried in the
Hrns Of heartbrol1en Bunny, rs one
would carry a crying infant. The Won
derful pinochle game and the mar
vOlous game OF pool are without de-
scription, and must be seen to be APP
preciated, and while this is only one
Of the big list. The balance shows one
Of the most original and thrilling west
ern pictures of the year. Don't miss
this big attraction and hold on to your
sides.

fHE PEREECr MAN.


In far-off- lands, beyond the seas,
There lived sage-Diogenes-
: once on a time" the story ran,
He started out to find man.
To aid him in the search he planned
he bore lantern In his hand;
for though the sun and skies were
He felt the need OF added light
His task was great, we must allow,
For men were then as scarce as now
And till his quest discovered one,
Besides himself he knew Of none.
But how Diogenes came out
The story leaves US yet In doubt
Or, if he found the man he sought
Or spent his oil and toll for naught.
His effort teaches, nevertheless,
A failing most OF us possess;
Full half our lives we spend to find
A man proporttoneo to our mind
Our standard is the final test;
By this we prove what's worst or best,
And with an artificial light
Determine tWixt the wrong and right.
Thus. in the mart and through the
street,
We pass, as COMMON, whom We meet
And bar them By the cynic's ban
Still searching for the perfect man.

can.
