and his bride was born on January

they had six more great-grandchil-
dren than they were aware of.

FAIR EXCHANGE
A New Back for an Old One-How
Madison Resident Made a Bad
Back Strong.

The back aches at times with a dull
indescribable feeling, making you
weary and restless; piercing pains
shoot across the region of the kid
neys, and again the loins are so lame
that to stoop is agony. No use TO
rub or apply a plaster to the back If
the kidneys are weak. You cannot
reach the cause. Follow the example
of this Madison citizen.
Mrs. C. Donovan, Madison, S. d..
says: while I have had no kidney
trouble myself, l know Doan's Kid
ney Pills to be a good kidney remedy.
They have been used by one of my
family with very good results. The
one who took them had been suffer
ing very much with pains in the back
and head and complained OF dizzy
spells. Since Doan's Kidney Pills
were used. / have heard no further
complaint.

DR.. SOUTHWICK
RECITAL OF SHAkESPEARE's
JULIUS CESAR AT NORMAL
AUDITORIUM LAST
EVENING.

The recital by Henry Lawrence
Southwick, president of the Emerson
College of Oratory of Boston. Mass. f.
was a highly successful one-socially
and artistically. Although President
Southwick is so widely and favorably
known as a lecturer and reader his
handling of his theme last night was
an artistic triumph that surprised
many and delighted all. Mr.. South
wick's sound scholarship penetrating
and comprehensive intelligence and
unfailing artistic instinct were At
their best last night. In turn the
characters of the tribunes. Flavius
and Marullus, of the crafty. impef-
uous Cassius, of sour" Casca. OF
imperial Caesar, of Portia and Of
noble Brutus flashed before the audi
ence bodied forth by the artistic
suggestiveness of this great reader.
In vividness of portrayal Mr.. South
wick's work is unsurpassed. Perhaps
the next characteristic OF the recital
which impressed the majority OF
those present was the readers ability
10 create atmosphere at will. How
skillful was his handling OF the scene
between troubled Brutus and the
lovely Portia of the famous quarrel
between Cassius and Brutus. and OF
| the subtle complexities at the Forum
which includes the world renowned
orations of Brutus and Young An
thony. The moral sweep and grand
eur of the play. the fatality of il all
held every listener spellbound to the
close. To achieve as Mr.. Southwick
has achieved is only worthy of the
| master. There could be nothing more
truly artistics accomplished in the
realm of platform reading.
The Strivers' Debating society. un-
der whose patronage President
Southwick was presented to the peo-
| pie of Madison, are TO be congrat-
ulated for the splendid privilege they
| afforded all lovers of the best in lit
| erature and art.
The recital was exceptionally well
attended. A number of prominent
| citizens acted as patrons of the af-
fair. The list of patrons included
DR.. and Mrs. j. w. Heston, Supt. and
Mrs. s. It. May, Mr.. and Mrs. John

Much of the dissatisfaction with

this il they can induce the legislature

pared providing for one assessor with
