OREGON .CITT .COURIER, r FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2 1903. OOTH'S DRAWING POWERS. km Famoni Traaediaa Vmm a Its Money Maker. V retired theater manager said the aer day: "It Is not generally known at Edwin Booth received 60 per cent ' the gross receipts of his perform :ces while under the management of dtsra. Brooks & Dixon. There never is a star on the stage who could aw the money that Booth could to a aater. There were no spasms about i business. It was as steady as Gl altar. We could bank on it Out of sir half of the receipts Brooks & xon paid the rent for theaters, paid 3 salaries of the company, the rall id and hotel bills and the advertls f throughout the country and made ; profits, which they shared with irace McVlcker, to whom Booth ln isted his affairs at the start and who L 1 .. 1 A 1.1 ,A .1 . , 'ooks & Dixon. 'Booth's agreement with Henry E. ibey was this: After all expenses of ary description were paid Booth got per cent and Abbey 15. Booth lost week In Philadelphia owing to the nn or nis wire, xne company was ' Indemnify the local manager. Our s that week was $4,000. Deducting it, Abbey's profits on the season were ),000. I do not know any star, save oth, who ever commanded BO per it of the gross receipts." New York la 1881 Georg Braodea happened to be with some friends at Bandrlke:i, Bear Christlanla, when they heard that Ibsen was staying at the local hotel. They decided to Invite Mm to dinner, but he declined when he was told that there would be nine persons at the ban quet "I never dine with so large n party," he said. Finally he was per suaded to say "Yes," but In the mean time the number of persons whose rp quest to be present Brandes could not possibly refuse had grown to twenty two. Ibsen was furious when he di; covered this, but Bramdes managed t get him to the dining room, where, how ever, the poet looked so forbidding tlr champagne had to be served lmmn'!! ately after the soup to give courag" W the guests. Ibsen acted like a bear n!' the evening. When one of "the gue t - an actress, remarked that she Hkod 1 roles better than any others he :n swered gruffly: "I do not write uv; roles. I represent characters, -an.i never work for any actor or actress." Where Blood Telia. t was In one of the farming districts "New England. The young folks had aded themselves together for month- " Jollifications during the winter and re about to celebrate the last dance the season as well as a couple of ;agenients which had resulted from r assemblies.

But I reckon 'taln't no. sin ! me to play for you tonight, seein' iwa'n't no blood relation." Phila phla Ledger. The Volcano. The London Globe conUilus a nun:! of amusing answers to a recent e-;'. :. nation for office boys in a govennii" office. Some of the descriptions of volcano are graphic: "A volcano is a hill, and smoke raises from the top." "A Volcano Is a Mountain with sul phur and a collection of Iron and led. Soon aftor a few years they get hoi and bursts the mountain Does a lot of Damage to the country." "A volcano is a mountain which his a large amount of lather and this some times overflows and burns villages down." The most 'flattering answer runs ns follows: "The boundaries of England are united states america and Eu rope." "Latitude and Longitude," s:iid another student, "are terms used to de scribe certain spots on the sea." Yet lie Loti1 the Sea. t la saJd that Bryan Waller Procter, iwn as Barry Cornwall, who wrote . well known poem I'm on the seal I'm on the aeal I am where I would ever bI s the very worst of sailors. .

Hml to Keep on niiildina'. The Canadian Magazine has a stcy apropos of a building reputed to l the highest west of Chicago. .The pr" Jector found some need of outside li : In financing his expenses and every Saturday used to exchange checks vrW.t a friend to pay his building exponas. At last his friend got tired of the" transactions and said: "Major, I've had enough of your checks. You've go that building high enough already Why don't you roof it in?" "I can't ;' ford to put the roof on," said the ii':i Jor. "You see, I have contracted to pay for the material when I get it roofed In." The Bent War to Preserve a Body. There Is no other way In which body can be preserved so long, leaving freezing and niuiimilfleatlon out of tue question, as by burial in a lead colhn. If the receptacle is airtight, lack of oxygen brings putrefaction almost if not quite to a pause, and the face of a defunct person umy be recognizable after a long period of time. The at tempts frequently made to destroy bodies by covering tliem with lime usually have the opposite effect, pre serving them by keeping out the air. London Answers Poor Boy! "Your new brother Is the elevemn child in the family, is he not?" nsUed the caller. "Yes, ma'am." said the little girl. "Have you named him yet?" "I think we're going to name hlr. Jerusalem.

Unless they arc good health Ss iinpossible. Every drop of blood in the body passes through and is filtered by healthy kidneys every three minutes. Sound kidneys strain out the impurities from the blood, diseased kidneys do not, hence you are sick. FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE makes the kidneys well so they will eliminate the poisons from the blood. It removes the cause of the many diseases resulting from disordered kidneys which have allowed" your whole system to become poisoned. Rheumatism, Bad Blood, Gout, Gravel, Dropsy, Inflammation of the Bladder, Diabetes and Bright's Disease, and many others, are all due to disordered Kidneys. A simple test for Kidney disease is to set aside your urine in a bottle or glass for twenty-four hours. If there is a sediment or a cloudy appearance, it indicates that your kidneys are diseased, and unless something is done they become more and more affected until Bright's Disease or Diabetes develops. ' FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE is the only preparation which will positively cure all forms of Kidney and Bladder troubles, and cure you permanently. It is a safe remedy and certain in results. If You are a sufferer, take FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE at once. It will make you well. Had Lumbago and Kidney Trouble Edward Huss, a well known business man of Salisbury,Mo., writes: "I wish to say for the benefit of others, that I was a sufferer from lumbago and kidney trouble, and all the remedies I took gave me no relief. I began to take FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE, and after the use of three bottles I am cured." N Some Pronounced Incurable Mr. G. A. Stillson. a merchant of Tampico, 111., writes: "FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE is meeting with wonderful success. It has cured some cases here that physicians pronounced incurable. I myself am able to testify to its merits. My face today is a living picture of health and FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE has made it such."
