MANAGER WAS SYMPATHETIC
Theatrical Troupe, Stranded IN west
ern Town, Found Good Samari-
tan Unexpectedly.

The troupe had been playing In haro
luck. Fifty dollars, $50, now and then
500, were the nightly receipts, hardly
enough to pay the railroad Jumps,
let alone pay salaries. There was
lust enough money in the treasury TO
get to Walville on Christmas night.
1t was one of those "East Lynne,
''the child is with its mother In Lon
don" pieces, and when the company
struggled into the town at midday the
local theater manager was at the STA
ton to be sure they had the eight ac-
tors.
The players wandered about the
town during the day. The curtain
went up on $24.75, most of it in the
gallery. Some of the $24.75 went out
at the end of the second act and didn't
come back. When the final curtain
came down weary crowd scattered
to the chill dressing rooms, wonder
ing if the hotel proprietor would stop
them at the station the next morning
This speculation was at its height
when the theater manager of the town
appeared, his arms filled with bundles,
and dumped them into the arms OF the
youngest member of the troupe.
"Say," he clustered, apparently
little ashamed of what he was going
to say, you people are having rotten
luck, amt you. I'm alone up at my
house. Come up and have supper with
me, will you? And say, I've had DIT
of luck this year, and I'll stake you
to the nights receipts. And those
things / gave the kid, they-well, they
once belonged to a kid of NINE"
And he went out.

L. Bowman, Who was indefatigable in
hunting down Oootleggers. He ac-
companied Johnson on most of his
raids in the Southwest, and the con-
spirators resolved to get the pair to-

practise of Johnson's deputies never
to go abroad except in twos and

warning, Bowman, who was a man Of
exceptional courage, courted death

On the fourth occasion the conspir-

A report had been spread that the

dead beneath him. Being an old from
tiersman, he took refuge behind the
body of the animal and replied with
his rifle, hoping to scare the cowardly
ruffians away. Apparently they were

Kidney & Co.
(BY DIR. J. II. wATsoN)

The kidneys and the skin work in
harmony. They're companions, the
skin being the second partner. If we
are anxious to keep well and preserve
the vitality of the kidneys and, also,
free the blood from noxious elements,
we must pay special attention TO a
good action of the skin and to see that
the kidneys are flushed so as to elimi-
nate the poisons from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in bath,
at least once week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys In good condition.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
of pure water with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the drug
store Anuric. double strength, which
will help flush the kidneys and the in
testines. You will find that Anuric is
many times more active than lithia
and that it dissolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.

Booth Harrington said, in New York,
the other day:
"The average man treats spiritual
ism as joke. Ar illustrator found
out recently that 1 was interested in
the subject, so he mushed upon me
with a story about widow who tried
to get in touch with her deceased hus-

"The medium, after a good deal of
futile work, said to the widow:
"'The conditions this evening seem
unfavorable. 1 can't seem to establish
communication with Mr.. Smith,

With the Fingers!
Says C0rns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
will apply on the corn few drops OF
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority
At little cost one can get small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger Of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not infame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think! You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without a bit Of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get a small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.-adv.

Thomas went after him, got him,
and removed from his person two re-
volvers and knife. He then put him
in jail at Guthrie.
While Lewis was still in Jail the
marshal discovered that he closely re-
sembled a certain Jerry Lewis who
was wanted for murder in the Chick
of $500 offered for his apprehension,
and Marshal Thomas, fearing that
the Jail at Guthrie was too weak to
hold Lewis, removed him to Okla
homa City for safeguard. The Jail
there proved really too weak, how
ever, and within a month or so Lewis
made his escape.
He was next heard of in Arkansas,
from which state he made a hasty
departure on account of a charge of
bigamy that was brought against him.
He went to Colorado, assumed another
name, and actually became deputy
United States marshal, in which ca
pacity he killed man. Lewis was
tried, but acquitted. Subsequent to
that he robbed the Wells-Fargo ex-
press company at Cripple Greek, and
was sent to the penitentiary for a
term of eight years. After his ar
rest he confined his operations to

ended by Johnson.
AS may be imagined, Lewis livery
stable at BARLEY 7ille was only meant
as a blind for the blind tiger" that
he contemplated establishing. With
the easy money that would roll in
from the sale of liquor, a man of Lew
is record would ha, dly engage in any
legitimate business. However, so
long as officer Johnson was bouncing
here and there about the territory, ar
resting liquor sellers by the score,
and smashiny their stocks, Lewis
saw that it would be a losing game.
He knew that Johnson's employment
by the Indian department would ter

the impending statehood was given

BILE Pussyfoot out of the way, he cal
culated that his scheme would work
out to a nicely. His hatred for John
son arose in the main from the
knowledge that he was impotent to
sell liquor so long as Johnson was in
the way. Yet, whether he really
meant to kill him or not, he was at
the same time sending threatening let
tiers to Deputy Marshal Thomas, say
ing that he intended to have his life
also. AS matter of fact, the man
he killed had no quarrel with him.
When Johnson learned that he was
to be killed he was greatly interested.
He had never been killed, and he
waited to give Lewis chance of
making good on his threat, for John
son is emphatically fair man. Nor
has Johnson ever taken life. He
has not even hailed any of those who
have assaulted him into court. When
the word reached him, Johnson sad
