ALPH REMELY. is nice
- enough boy, and bright, and all
that, but think of it-for two
weeks he has done nothing but
sit and twiddle his fingers. He is a
member of the Poll stock company, and
to play the title role in The Dummy"
which plays at that house this week,
he's had to wiggle his fingers continu-
Ously for two weeks, stopping only long
enough to act as II he didn't hear any
thing.
He wouldn't have to work so hard IL II
were not for the fact that he Is sensi-
tive. But he hasn't stopped twiddling
his fingers for several reasons. One is
that he is afraid that some OF the peo-
pie out Gallaudet way will come to the
show and criticise his technique, and
he's that nervous!
It's a hard life

ARE URGED ID WORK
 DILIGENTLY

If when you do a kind act you should fatally wait for the gratitude, you might thereby miss the oppor- tunity of doing another, and failing to get what you have foolishly de- sired, lose all the joy of life, or, having got it, lose the other chances of being satisfied. Best keep on trying then; what is done for others you have done twice for yourself, for what is your end and objecc than happiness, which never follows gJeed?
 A piano is never a foolish pos session.
 Every time you spend a dollar put it soE.e place where you can get a vote coupon and then turn it over to your chosen candidate. You won t be ile Cnly one doing this, and how do yov know but that your little help wi. ,uin the trick and put the prize whc.t yon want it?

WHY, YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system Is the alarm system of the human body.
 In perfect health we hardly realize that we have a network of nerves, but when health Is ebbing, when strength is declin- ing, the same nervous system gives the alarm in headaches ; tiredness, dreaTufu1 sleep, irritabi1ity and unless corrected, leads straight to breakdown.
 s- To correct nervousness, Scott's Emu1- sion is exactly what you should take; it's rich nutriment gets into the blood and rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while the whole system responds to it's refresh ing tonic force. It is free from alcSho1.
