TEeb Pains and Ailments
Any taint cf the blood quickly shows itself with old
people, and troubles, which a younger, more vigorous con
stitution holds in check, take possession of those of ad
vanced vears. . A mole, wart or pimple often begins to in
flame and fester, terminating in a sore that refuses to heal. Wandering pains
of a rheumatic character are almost constant, the joints get stiff and the mus
cles sore, while sleeplessness and nervousness make life a burden. The nat-

Best of All Plays.
I do not care for problem plays; give me
' the kind of play
In which the girl is just as pure as are
the flowers in May; -The
play in which in time of need the
hero's right on deck,
And where the scheming villain gets it
always in the neck.
I love to hear the girl refuse the villain's
gold to take,
And say that rags are riyal duds
when worn for virtue's sake;
I love to see her- beaux decline to heed
the rich man's beck,
And swat the villain with a club athwart
bis ngly neck.
O not for me the Gallic farce, the Ibsen
fol-de-rol,
Where man is but a jackanapes and
woman is a doll;
I'll take the sturdy plot in which the
villain tries to wreck .
The hero's life, .and in the end just gets
it in the neck. t

HOMEOF MACBETH UNCHANGED
Cawdor Castle Still Mocks the Tooth
of Devouring Time. ' , . .
Hamlet's jcastle at Elsinore, which
still remains precisely as in his day, is
not the only habitat which still mocks
the tooth of cormorant devouring time.
The castle of Macbeth, thane of Glamis
and of Cawdor Cawdor castle built
In the year 1446, also still stands just
outside of the village still called "Caw
dor," at Inverness, in Scotland, says
Shakspeareana, and' if it does not hap
pen to rain when . the tourist ap
proaches it (and it sometimes does not
rain in Scotland) he will 'exclaim as
Duncan did,- "this castle hath a pleas
ant seat, the air nlmoly and sweetly
recommends itself to our senses."
During its many centuries of life,
Cawdor castle has accumulated many
wings, "outer walls" and new inte
riors, and so the great hall where the
deed of dreadful note was first resolv
ed may not be at present located (and,
for once, tradition has not selected one
of them). But a" chamber where the
deed may have been done there Is in
on of the oldest parts of the old pile.
For several years this chamber has
been tendered by the present thane of
Cawdor on of; the Campbell family
(the present owners of the property) as
a bedroom for a night's lodging to any
artist who will as quid pro quo paint
upon its walls a picture of some Inci
dent of the tragedy according to Shak
speare. V
That not many artists have cared
for such a night's lodging on any terms
we are led to guess from the fact that
only four pictures are on that Cham'
ber's walls. Lady Macbeth ; in her
nightrobe; Macbeth with the fatal dag
ger drawn; the brlndle cat that mewed
thrice, and the owl, the fatal belman!
as well as the three secret black and

vet t ran Milwaukee editor dead. '
' William E. Cramer, aged 88, editor
in chief of the Evening Wisconsin of
Milwaukee, died recently of pneumo

half a century one of the leading fig-j

had been In the editorial harness con

Milwaukee, until his death, although
for . over forty years he was almost
blind. -
Mr. Cramer was the last of the old-
line editors. For fifty-seven years he
directed the policy of the Wisconsin,
going to the office every day. Though
sadly handicapped by blindness and
defective hearing, he kept closely in

Mr. Cramer was a lawyer by pro
fession, but his leaning toward news
paper work led him to become a writer
on the Albany Argus, where he was on
Intimate terms with Martin Van Bu
ren, Horatio Seymour and other Dem
ocratic leaders, State and national. In
1847 he went to Milwaukee on the in
vitation of prominent Democrats and
purchased the Courier, the name of
which was soon after changed to the
Evening Wisconsin. The paper was
Democratic, bdt when the Civil War

HAS TRAVELED 2,421,600 MILES,
Great Distance Covered by a Surgeon
on Trans-Atlantic Liners.
Dr. J. Fourness Brice, surgeon or
one of the great trans-Atlantic liners.
has crossed the ocean probably more
times than any oth
;er man living. He
has lived on ocean
liners for over
fifty years and
though he Is now
'-, 79 years old he
hopes to make
many more trips.
He has crossed the
Atlantic 835 times,
or a total of some
,' 2,421,500 miles.
It is quite prob
DB. J. F. BBICK.
able that he has exceeded this by
many 'thousands of miles, for in his
fifty years on the Atlantic the steam
ers on which he sailed were not eon
fined to any particular route. " The
greater part of the time he sailed be
tween New York and Liverpool, and
the routes between these points vai-y
from 2,900 to 3,000 miles or more. The
dlstanc? between Boston and Liverpool
is not as , great, but there are times
when these steamers take.routes long
er than those Bailing from New York.
So that in the case of a man who has
sailed the Atlantic for more than fifty
years, and crossed it 835 times, a few
thousand miles does not cut so much
of a figure. .
Making the most conservative esti
mate, Dr. Brice has sailed enough
miles to take him around the earth.1
about ninety-seven times. The longest
distance around is at the equator, the
circumference of the earth at this
point being about 24.899 miles. ' As
suming that on each of his trips across
the Atlantic Dr. Brice traveled 2,900
miles, he could have gone around the
earth 9714 times. " ( - .
