Hideous Jealousy.

By Arthur Brisbane
Copyright 1885 by Star 20 :

~ITY doctors, they work hard,
and too often their lives are
complicated by jealousy. Some
times their wives are jealous, for the
doctors are obliged to hold the wrists
of mournful lady patients. Some
times even their nurses are jealous.
Doctor William B. Borror, of West
Virginia for instance, WAS found
stabbed to death. The authorities
say his nurse did it, because she
was jealous of him.
IT isn't always as bad as that, but
L often nearly as bad. Jealousy is
the curse of the world, and waste
of energy.
Ladies, why be Jealous? II he's

That's the way it is with Twin. When

An we think our lives is written on

We should never start a-cussin', or

Why do we give our big annual
minstrel show?
There are several reasons One
is that the members of the lodge en-
joy it. 1t gives them a few weeks
pleasant diversion and relaxation,
and affords an avenue for mirth
and enjoyment that gets full swing
in an amateur theatrical perform
ance.
Another reason Is that it assures
an evening of pleasure and enjoy
ment for hundreds of people in this
city who are friends of the mem
bers of the lodge and true Elk
finds his greatest satisfaction in
making others happy. The success
of last years Elks' minstrel show
has made it an assured annual
event. 1t will be looked forward to
by the people here with pleasant
antlcipations, and the members of
the lodge know they are able to
satisfy the desire of the community
for clean, diversified entertainment.

And even more important than all
