"Hobo'' Saves Dr.'s Wife
Lake Charles, La, May P, 1913 Hobo Medicine Mfg. Co.
 Singer ! .a

Gentleman: Being a physician having been actively engaged in the practice of medicine for fifty years up to August, 1911, when 1 retired, and knowing a great many patent medicines now on the market are com paratively worthless, and some of them perhaps even to some extent injurious, 1 am, in common with ether physicians, perhaps ;ittle pr2judiced against patent medicines. but some of them are good, and l feel that we should not condemn all of a class because some have no merit. It affords me pleasure to say that consider your Hobo Kidney and Blad- der Remedy one of the best--possib- ly the Eest-kidney, bladder and fe- male remedies now on the market.
 My wife had urinry trouble three years, and I and other physicians treated her, but could give only ;em- turning. Finally she could get no re- lief except when actually under the influence of the drugs; and we con- cluded to try your medicine; how ever in arriving at this conclusion, must frankly say that it was as a drowning man catching at straw for we had but little or no faith in the merits of the medicine but l am glad to say that my wife's condition was considerably improveo after taking the first bottle. She continu- cd taking tho medicine until she had taken ten bottles when she seemed completely cured. It has now been about three months since she dis continued taking the medicine, and she has not had a single recurring symptom and I consider her Cure complete and permanent. You are at liberty to publish this statement if you so desire.
 Very respectfully,
 E. J. LYONS, M. D.
 All druggists.

YOUNG NEGROES
 ROB AGED DARkEY
"Uncle Lias'' Byrd Seeks Buried Treasure, and Finds
 Experiment Costly.

"uncle Iias" Byrd, an aged dlrkoy who has operated T grocer storc at the northwest outskirts ol tine city for years past, is bamoanin& the less of $2l il money and d eaIuahJr gold watch, as a result of the peeH- liarly successful nanipulations of two young groes for whom tho con stables force is new making a search
 Nobody but a negro would have 'fallen fer" the game worked upon "Uacle Lias." nor is t lit ly any but a negro would have thought CT working such 3 game. But thc game went through ill Norlmanl;kc style, "Uncle Lias,' there is a deep strain of humor in 1t.
 The two negroes, who might be designated as No. 1 and No. for lack Of better cognomen, made thcms Ives known to "Uncle I4ias' about d week age, and by constant talking aud persuasion, convinced him they could locate pot of gold which they 0r. lieved 10 be buried on his place. Monday night was decided upon for the test, and Monday night the tcst was made.
 The young negroes went to tha homo of "Uncle Lias," and informed him they would need Bible and some silver and gold in order to make the test. Silver and paper money aggregating $2f was handed them, with Bible. They placed the Bible on a table. opened it and placed the money upon it. Negro No. said the test would not succeed un- less some gold was placed on the Bible. 'Uncle I.ias" unconpled n;s watch, and placed it on the Good Book.
 [ Negro No. 1 then began manipulat- ing the pile, and after prayer and some outlandj.h gibbarish, announced the test had succeeded.
 cts right dar in de yard" ne cX- claimed "Git yo' shovel and spade"
 The negroes went into tAe yard and dug hole. It was some hole, ample in area and in depth. But no pot of geld was found, and finally Negro No 1 returned 10 the house, to see if the pile of silver and gold might not be more explicit in it's d. rectons
 After a while, as Mo- did not re- turn, Negro No. } suggested that "Uncle Lias" go to the house and make dat nigg9r come dig" "UNcle Las" went to the house, to find Negro No, 1 missing, as was also the money and tho watch. He hurried back to the yard, tceIind Negro No, ? also gone. &N.
 Early yesterday "Unclc Lias' came to town and told his trouhles to Con stable Clint Green. and the arm of the law is new reaching out after the Messrs Negro No. i and Negro No. ?.

The four reel film version of Ed ward Pocblc's celebrated comedy drama. "Thc Spitfire,' presents Car lyle Blackwell in the role of Bruce Morson, the young American traveler who suddenly becomes involved in the plot of the story, and who before it's termination well earns the tile of hero.
 Bruce Morson, a young American returning from travels in Egypt, is robbed of some valuable jewels in a Londcn hotel, and chasos the thieves to the yacht, "Spitfire." at Calais, which the crooks have boarucd and taken command of under forged ord CTS from it's owner, Marcus Girard who is in London. The yacht is just about 10 sail out of port, but by a ruse, Morson manages to get aboard and promptly falls in love with Vaida Girards pretty daughter, who is also a "spitfire." Tho crooks tell Valda her father is smuggler, show her the jewels they have stolen, and con- vince her they are guarding them for her father, and that ,Morson is a GUS toms officer, spying upon her in order to trap .Girard. Valda iAdig- nantly turns upcn the helpless MOT son, orders him into seaman's cos tune, and compels him to work his passage to New York. On the home ward voyage, Morson undergoes many ordsals, both humorous and dramatic. and is even finally accused Of the theft of his own property, be- fore the final denouement, which shows the burning of the yacht and the heroic rescue of Valda by Morson who is at last able to right himself, baffle the thieves, and win the wom- an he loves.

"Stop Thief" which plays at t1a A-Muse-U theatre today is said 10 be one of the funniest comedies in film and possessed of more genuine hearty good laughs even than the il- luatrous stage success on which It is founded Certainly the. film version retains all the fun essentials Of the play with many additional touches Of humor not possible to the lprec acts of the farce.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1915-04-21

There are some decidedly interest," ing things in the production of "Stop ThieP' that make for things worth while in iilmland. Principal among these is the fact that George Klein did not cheapen his production with the ordinary run of motion picture actors, but engaged all the members of the original Stop Thief com- pany who made the stage play so famous.
