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

xon paid the rent for theaters, paid
3 salaries of the company, the rall
id and hotel bills and the advertls

; profits, which they shared with
irace McVlcker, to whom Booth ln
isted his affairs at the start and who

'Booth's agreement with Henry E.

it, Abbey's profits on the season were

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

aes of the country dance, and all
re looking forward to the "time of

plo gathered as arranged, but be
aned the absence of Old Ben, and
hes were being substituted for the
icing when, lo, Ilawklns and his fld-
appeared on the scene,

slipped -his fiddle out of Its green ;
( and as he meditatively rubbed the I
in on the bow said:
Waal, yes; Maria's gone; died this

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. . When
read that be was so seasick that he

aiming a strain of his jovial sea '

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.

ARE THEY
WELL?
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."
