Very Much Impressed.

In the days when the sight of young America abroad was not as common as it is today beautiful Connecticut young woman made the ascent of Mont Blanc in the company of a party of English and Americans, mostly artists. The others had given expression in ave- struck whispers to the impression which the sublime scene made on them, while the young lady stood apart in silence, gazing out over the vast prospect with eyes bright and lips parted.
 Finally they turned to her for some expression of her emotions, and she suddenly exclaimed: "My! Ain't high!"- !"-Everybody's.

"Open all you please" " "Well, here is a letter my wife has written to your wife and asked me to deliver. I think there's some thing unpleasant in it about me. I wish you'd open it and if there is just burn it. 'Humph! Does my wife know your wife is going to write to herr" "Yes.'' "And if my wife doesn't get this letter she'll soon find it out, won't sine?

An outburst of oratory That Enliven.
 cd Ba4I Game.
 q have heard learned discussions full of high sounding phraseology," said Frank Houseman, a retired ball player, "and I mist say that in my time I have encountered many men who could throw the English language around most delightfully."-, but I wish to say that there was once in my life when I realized the possibilities of English, the glories of our native tongue and the flexi- bility of the unwritten dictionary. This occasion was in Florida many years ago. I was wintering down there with lot of other players, among them being Johnny McGraw.
 "We were playing a game one aft ernoon, and I was on third base. McGraw had reached second and thought he saw a chance to get clean home when safe drive went whizzing out in the field. I saw that he could do it; also that the umpire was looking after the ball, and as Mac drew nigh I gave him the hiplock and the double tackle. He whirled round and out and shot far away into the suburbs. Over and over he rolled, bringing up with his ,face in a clump of weeds and his mouth full of sand.
 "McGraw scrambled back to the base before the ball could reach him, and I judged it best to move up the line a bit, out of his reach. and there he stuck, with his foot on the bag, and delivered an oration. And what a speech it was!
 'Sometimes l wake up in the night and think I hear once more the words Johnny used. Eloquence, fire and forcefulness, complaint and denunciation, classified reference to my personal habits and appearance, my destination after death-all these were features of McGraw's oration. I listened spellbound, but I did not move. Not even when he added persuasiveness to his elocu- tion and offered me attractive in- ducements to come within his reach did I change my position.
 q have heard Bourke Cochran. I have heard William Jennings Bry- an. I have heard them all. But never in all my life, before or since, have I heard anything to equal the speech McGraw delivered there upon the coral sands of Florida. ."-New York World.

Ancient Surgery.

The first surgical implements of which we have any record date back to 40o0 B. c. They were splints found in the Nubian desert. In one place a graveyard was found, and here were remains of bodies with fractured limbs that had been set with bark splints. One was a right thigh bone that had been broken and was still held in posi- ton by a workmanlike splint' and bandages. All the knots were true reef knots, and the wrappings show ed Low the strips of palm fiber cloth were set just as a good surgeon would set them nowadays, 80 as to use the full strength of the fabric.

4 GLIMPSE OF ANCIENT ROME.
Customs of the Time When Caesar
 Dined With Cicero.

Dined With Cicero.
 The correspondence of the great men of the ancient Greeks present little that is not philosophical, po- litical or didactic in it's character, and it was not until the age of Ju- Illus Caesar that the Romans began to reflect in their letters something of the incident and spirit of their times. The following letter of Cicero to Atticus gives an interest ing account of "a visit by Julius Caesar very shortly before the trag- ical death of the great soldier:
 "Oh, this visit, so much dreaded! ! And yet one which I am not sorry to have received. for it went off most pleasantly. When he came the evening before, on the 18th, to my neighbor Phillipus, the house was SO crowded with soldiers that there was scarcely a vacant room for Caesar to sup in. There were about 2,0O0 of them, which made me feel little uneasiness for the next day. But Barba Cassius set me at ease. He assigned me a guard, made the rest encamp in the fields, so that my house was kept clear.
 "On the 18th he stayed with Bal bus until 1 o'clock, but admitted no one. He was settling accounts, as I suppose, with Balbus. He then walked by the shore to my house. At 9 he took the bath. The verses on Mamurra were then read to him. [These are supposed to be satire on Mamurra's debauchery and lux ury. in which Caesar also was satir- ized by Catullus.] His countenance was unchanged.
 "He was rubbed and anointed and then disposed himself at table after taking an emetic Ia habit con sidered by the Romans of that time as conducive to health as we'll as to luxurious gormandizing) and ate and drank in a very free and easy manner, for he was entertained hos pitably and elegantly, and our dis course resembled our repast in its relish and seasoning. Besides Cae- sar's table, his attendants were well provided for in three other rooms, nor was there any deficiency in the provision made for his freedmen of lower quality and his slaves, but those of the better sort were ele- gantly entertained. Need I say more? l acted as man to man. Yet he was not the man to whom one would say at parting, T pray you, let me have this visit repeated when you come this way again Once is enough.
 'fNot a word passed between us on business, but much literary talk. To make short of the matter, he was perfectly pleased and easy. He talked of spending one day at Pute- oli, another at Baiae. You have thus the account of the days enter tainment-an entertainment not agreeable, but still not troublesome to me. I shall stay here little longer and then to Tusculum.

Brazii's Rubber.

A large part of the worlds supply
Of crude rubber comes from the re-
public of Brazil, which has hitherto
paid little attention to the manufac-
ture of that commodity. Another day
is coming. Brazil is about to engage
intelligently in the manufacture Of
rubber, an enterprise which, in course
of time, may affect the manufacture Of
that material in the United States and
in Europe, by bringing in a new and
formidable competitor. LIE Bresil
Economique, of Rio de Janeiro, says
that under favorable conditions offered
by the government refineries of
caoutchouc (rubber) will be established
in number of states and factories
for the manufacture of rubber articles
in the cities of Manaes, Belem in Para,
Recife and Bahia. There will be spe-
cial exemptions in the way of duties
upon articles imported for the carry
ing forward of this enterprise.

BIGGEST PAIR OF TUSkS.

In the stables of the royal palace
at Mandalay, in Burma, there may
be seen an elephant with remark
able pair of tusks, which the Bur-
mese declare are the largest in the
world. These gigantic tusks meas
ure as much as 7 feet nine inches
on the outside curve, with a great
circumference of no less than II
inches. To naturalists the most eX-
traordinary point about these tusks,
which are still being carried by their
owner, is that they virtually touch
the ground and almost meet. APP
parently, however, their owner expe-
riences no inconvenience from these
long and cumbrous appendages
whilst taking exercise. AS a zoolog-
ical curiosity the elephant has natu-
rally attracted wide attention, and
it is said that several offers have al
ready been received for the tusks
when the animal should see fit to
depart this Worldwide World

Holds OH A Burglar.
How Am Indiana Woman Was Able To
Stand the Severe Strain.

Mrs. Johanna Foegely, Of South Bond,
Ind, recently passed through most thrill
ling experience, which would be a severe
strain upon any person and especially 80
for woman of 70 years of age. An Indi-
ana paper contains long and interesting
account of it, saying that the burglar would
soon have ransacked the house had it not
been for the GOODNESS and presence of mind
Of Mrs. Foegely, who cleverly diverted his
attention, even while the burglar kept a
revolver at her head, commanding her to
@'keep quiet or will send bullet through
you," until he feared to remain longer.
This is the Mrs. Foegely who was perna-
nently relieved of dangerous Kidney and
Bladder disease in 1900, by the prompt use
of DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy;
and because she possessed this good health
and strength she was able to Withstand the
shock of her recent experience. Here is the
first statement Mrs. Foegely gave, in 1900 :
"For over three years suffered from the most
painful disease in my Kidneys and Bladder. Other
remedies and my doctor failed to do me any good

Nov. 3.
This concert company has won an envi-
able reputation and in the most popular
form of entertainment they have estab-
lished themselves as leading artists in
their line. The members of the quartet
are soloists of more than ordinary ability,
but it is in their perfect ensemble that
the music,loving public seems to find it's
greatest delight. The versatility of the
members is another important feature
not to be overlooked by those who desire
well-baianced program. One of the
ladies accom- anies on the mandolin,
another on the guitar and three on the
piano, thus making possible variations
quite beyond the ordinary quartet.

Unladylike Cow.

"Treat the COW as a lady," is the
advice of a distinguished Wisconsin
dairyman. Elmer Peterson, editor of
the Cimarron Jacksonian, replies:
1--WE own a COW, so this advice is
very interesting. When we go to wa
ter her, she lunges at the bucket and
worries it all over the lot. When we
bring her dainty repast of corn, chop
and bran, it takes expert manipula-
ton to get by and shove the feed into
the manger without being trampied
to death or kicked through the side
of her boudoir. When we milk, in the
summer, she seems to have the idea
that all the flies are on our face and
obligingly tries to switch them OFF,
In the winter, when there are no
flies, she swats US in the eye from
force of habit. Every once in a while
she gracefully sidesteps and stands
on our foot. If the gentleman from
Wisconsin means people should not
be cruel to the cow we are with him;
but we maintain that no true lady
will act like a COW, and as long as
our COW acts like she does, we'll be
blamed if We'll treat her like lady,"

J. C.. Rockwell's Sunny South
Company

J. c. Rockwell's Sammy South com
pany, which is announced to appear in

evening Nov LIST, is the cOlored organ
ization that appeared here about two
years ago aud at that time it gave un-
bounded satisfaction, in fact it was gen.
orally conceded to be one of the most
pleasing performances ever placed on the
local stage. Mr.. Rockwell does not be-
lieve in putting the greater part of his
salary allotment into one or two acts and
allowing the balance of the performance
to suffer through the employment of
cheaper ones, which always disgust the
experienced patron, but he has found
that the expe nditure of money for the
purpose of making each act and detail
complete pays twice over Ia The box Of
flee receipts This explains why the pei
formances given by this company are al
ways -to-the-minute and sends the
audiences home feeling satisfied that
they have had full value for their money.
1t is swiftly moving panorama of music,
merriment aud melody, never loud, never
vulgar. Quite often the speed limit in
fun is exceeded and the audience thrown
into commissions of laughter. The com
edy, which abounds throughout, is said
to be on an unusually diverting character
and free from the horse play usually seen
in performances of this kind.
The organization is accompanied by
solo concert band and superb orchestra.
The band will head the Koontown pa
