Manager Worley furnished Keokuk
theatre goers one of the real hits of
the season last evening when "The
Chocolate Soldier" appeared at the
Grand. 1t was something different
light opera and clever people made 1t
great, big success. The audience
expressed delight at the beginning and
continued it's appreciation through the
performance. In every particular the
attraction was high-class, the work of
the leading characters being excellent
any many solo and duet numbers be-
ing repeated in response to hearty
bursts of appreciation from the audi
ence. The settings for the various
scenes were strong in arrangement
and design. 1t was great show. Ali

Cathartlcs and pills and Harsh Phys.
les May Cause Distressing
Complaints.

You cannot be over-careful in the
selection OF medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medi-
cine should ever be given. Ordinary
pills, cathartics and purgatives are
too apt to do more harm than good.
They sometimes cause gripping, nau-
sea and distressing after-effects, and
may actually injure the health, thus
establishing a life-lasting annoyance.
!. We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexall Orderlies asa safe
and dependable remedy for consti-
patton and associate bowel disorders.
We have such faith in the writes OF
this remedy that we sell it on our
guarantee of money back in every In
stance where it fails to give entire
satisfaction. and we urge all in need
of such medicine to try 1t at our risk
Rexall Orderlies are eaten Just
like candy, are particularly prompt
and agreeable in action, may be taken
at any time, day or night; do not
cause diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, ex-
cessive looseness, or other undesir-
able effects. They have very mild
but positive action upon the organs
with which they come in contact,
apparently acting as a regulative
tonic upon the relaxed muscular coat

BURLINGTON, Feb. 15.-It is
pointed out here that Burlington is
the center of the greatest drainage
development now under way outside |
LOT Holland, that tight little country |
protected by dikes from the ravages
of the North sea. Between Burlington
and Muscatine there are 10000
acres now incorporated in drainage |
districts. That the great swamp OPP
posite Burlington will be reclaimed
appears almost certain, and then will
be banished the last lot of land that
has SO long retarded the development
of this section.
South OF Burlington are $4,000 more
acres that, it is expected, will be
brought under drainage, including the
| lowlands of Green, Bay, in curve or
the Mississippi river.
This city realizes the value of re-
claiming all the low land along the
Mississippi and is intensely interested

that Theodore Roosevelt told an in

THANK YE.
BY Maude ]. Ball.

Shortly after sunrise, one chilly
morning, I glanced out of the window
and my eyes fell upon the familiar
figure of the old rag man who periodi-
cally visits our alley for cast away
rags.
The tense hard lines of his leather
face expressed painful anXiousness.
His bare and horny hands grasped
his heavy carpet bag beneath which
his aged back bent low
His dirty and ragged coat was bet
ter suited for the bag he carried,
than for the back of a human being.
His eyes were intent upon the
ground, searching out the bits of
scrap and rags carelessly thrown
from the back porch or blown from
the open window. Eagerly he investi-
gated the corners and shadows, and
seized upon every possibility, hugging
close his precious burden of rags.
Remembering a carpet bag full OF
useless scraps of old cloth whcih had
been gathered up during a house
cleaning season, 1 hailed him and Of
fered them to him. "Giye me back
the sack, but you may have all that
is in it," I said.
He looked up, startled. He reached
out a gnarled and grimy hand. TAX.
ing the bag, he emptied it into his
own and handed it back to me-
Thank ye, kindly, miss" he articu
lated, his parchment face breaking
into something akin to a smile.
l turned to my work, but all that
day I remembered him. "All that we
can not use, we give the poor"
thought without much pride or salts
faction i'm the thought.
Either the rag man deserves his lot
or he does not. If he DOES, why
charity or kindness or consideration
or pity? If he does not, why should

OPINION AND KNOWLEDGE
BY GustaVus Pilz.

Four Irishmen were talking politics
l'uring the recent election.
One of them, socialist, expressed
Contempt for the politics of his fel-
low workers, who were respectively
progressive, democratic and republi
can in their faith.
One of them, a progressive, said,

and begorra they should have your
RESPECT"
"Tm not so sure" said the social
ist
"If the four of us were to be talk
ing about where the sun rises, the
democrat would say South, the re-
publican, North, the progressive
West, and the socialist East.

nimum if care is taken to avoid too
heavy a pressure on the pen. The
man in question left evidence of his
productive labor in the form of "bad
checks" with a number of Everett
business men.
In the preliminary conversations,
the bad check artist showed evidence
of being a democrat politician of the
plausible and winning type.
He proceeded to "break up the
trust" of every business man with
whom he talked
