"Happyland" Gennett. Ada 'Weaves, whose widow in Wang" will long be remembered as one of the best bits of comic opera character of modern times,' has a part
in HWolt Hopper's new comic opera flappyland" a forth-coming local attraction that is said to fit her peculiar talents equally as well as the meddlesome maiden who made poor "Wang miserable throughout his royal career. The Messrs Shubert declare that "Ilappyland' will be produced with a lavisbness of scenic and costume splendor far beyond anything previously attempted in comic opera. "Ilappyland will be at the Gennett tonight.
Repertoire at the Phillips. Tonight the final performance "The World Against Him" will
presented by the Ethel Desmond ptock company at the New Phillips and beginning Thursday afternoon and j nf Inning tht Kiilunn nf flitf w r r thf

The Desmond.; are pleasing audiences of good size and continue to grow, in popularity despite the fact that this is their third werli at the New Phillips, an unprecedented run 'fo repeisoire locally. The specialties thi.s week are very pleasing and are wort'j the price of admission alone, and combined with
the standard pliys, ntake a double offering that is certainly worth the j
money. Friday afternoon, following the performance, the company will give a receptioa to the ladies and children on t hostage, and will serve refreshment?. Saturday there, will be the usual special matinee for children.
ldng3of the country the type of a financier who manipulates the destinies of the nation and made him one of the central figures of his plot, stern in his attitude to all, even to his wife and children and relentless towards his enemies. The other vital element is a young and beautiful daughter of a supreme court judge, who is being driven to the wall with impeachment and disgrace as the result of his right
eous decisions which are adverse to the interests of this money king. To save the honor of her father and his life, the daughter enlists her services against this financial giant and the plot reveals the struggle of two keen brains for the mastery. The play is one of exceptional interest and dramatic force and while it is
serious in aspect it contains a fine
galaxy of wit, humor and pathos. "When Knighthood Was in Flower." It is safe to say that Ernest Shipman has this season taken out the most gorgeous set of scenery for his great production of "When Knighthood Was in Flower" which comes to the Gennett April 27, that has ever left Xew York City. Five sets are required for the piece, end all have been prepared after most excellent descriptions of the country where the

Big Walnut Tree Fell on Cor
nelius Ratliff.
WAS STRUCK BY A LIMB.
Cornelius Ratliff had a miraculous escape from being killed while at work
on his timber land near Thistlethwaite's pond Tuesday morning. Mr.
Ratliff with John A. Stein was cutting
a large walnut tree 2Vi feet in diameter. Mr. Ratliff was sawing the tree
and Mr. Stein was guiding its fall. In
stead of the tree falling in the direction intended, it fell just the opposite and Mr. Ratliff was caught before he could get out of its way. He was struck by a limb and knocked to the
ground.
The trunk of the tree did not hit
Mr. Ratliff, missing his face, however, onlv a -few inches. An elevation in
play is laid during the time about , the eround on which the tree rested in
which it is written. The properties faningt jS an that saved Mr. Ratliff and settings have been made exact from getting the full force of it. His
copies trom originals in l-rench and J COfduroy cap saved him from serious

That star will get a crowd and it is safe to say he won't deserve it any more than did "Bankers and Brokers." A return visit for the show will mean a packed house.
Druggist Takes His Oivn Medicine
The man who sells remedies for most 1 t the human ills, and hears day after day the opinions of people who have used these remedies, naturally comes to know the superior from the inferior, and tvhen the time comes that he has to decide on which remedy he will take, he of course selects the one he has heard the most praise of. His own opinion, coupled with that of his customers', oucbt to so far to convincing- the layman that tbe remedy the druggist selects is the best in the field. J. M. Hawkins, a drnroist ' Mound City. Kans., has sold medicines for a great many years, and when finally he himself began to suffer from stomach trouble he had no hesitancy la deciding which remedy on his shelf be would take. It was Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Now, after having given it a good test. Mr. Hawkins writes us that it justified his high opinion and he is cured. It was the same with Druggist Kennedy, t lexlngton. 111. He was not very robust, often bad constipation and such troubles, so. going on what his customers who had used it told him. he took Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has been a well man ever since. There is no better remedy on the shelf of any flravgist or in all materia medica than Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin for obstinate constipation, dyspepsia, indigestion, flatulency, biliousness, diarrhea. Jaundice and other liver troubles, whether the disease is in an intant, child, woman Or man. It is the best family laxative. It is gentle and Effective, pleasant and sure. The proprietors guarantee it absolutely both as to purity and results to be expected. Usually one or two doses will bring about a complete change for the better, and as it is only 50 cents or $1 a bottle sure relief can be had for a few cents. Buy a ottle so yon can see what it will do for you.
Monotony Leads To Insanity
Too much excitement too much monotony. Both these extremes are fatal to the nervous system. Diseases of the nerves often result from the excessive mental work and worry and the strife and turmoil of city life. But what leads to the paralysis, th locomotor ataxia and the Insanity which cornea frequently to the farmer or his wife living in rural sections, or to persons who work with machinery? It le the monotony. Whatever your circumstances. It is wise to be alert for symptoms which denote exhausted nerves, headache and indigestion. Irritability of temper and weakness of body and mind, and to begin at once the use' of Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills. Science has no more effective- treatment to offer as a means of restoring vigor and vitality to a wasted, nervous system than Dr. A. "W. Chase's Nerve Pills; 50 cents a box, 6 boxes for $2.50; at all dealers, or Dr. A. W. Chase Med. Co., Buffalo. N. Y. The portrait and signature of Dr. A. W. Chase, the famous receipt-book author, are on every box. . . .. . . For sale by Leo H. Fine. Druggist.

She had told me she had heart trouble;but she had confided to no one that she knew it might bring on the end at any moment. She left, a letetr, sealed and addressed to me: Harvey: I shall never have the courage to tell you, yet I feel you ought to kr.ow. I think every one attributes to every one else less shrewdness than he possesses. I know you have not given me the credit of seeing that you did not love me. And you were so kind and considerate and so patient with my moods that no doubt I should have been deceived had I not known what love Is. I think, to have loved and to have been loved develors fa a woman a sort of "sixth sense oensveness to love. And that had been developed in me. and when H never responded to your efforts to deeive me, I knew you did not love me. ' Well, neither did I love you, though I vas able to hide It from you. And It has )ften irritated me that you were so nnibpervant. You know now the cause of nany of my difficult moods, which have
seemed causeless.
1 admired you from the first time we met. I liked you. I have been proud of you, I would not have been the wife of any other man In the world, I would not have had any other father for my children. But I have kept on loving the man I loved before 1 met you. Why? I don't know. I despised him for hi weaknesses. I should never have married him. though mother and Ed both feared I would. I think I loved him because 1 knew he loved me. That is the way it Is with women they seldom love Independently. Men like to love; women like to be loved. And. poor, unworthy creature that he was, still he would have died for me, though God had denied him the strength to live for me. But all that God gave him the power to love he gave me. And so he was different in my eyes from what he was In any one's else In the world. And I loved him. I don't tell you this because I feel regret or remorse. I don't; there never was a wife truer than I, for I put him completely aside. I tell you, because I want you to remember me right after Tm gone, Harvey dear. Tou may remember how I was silly and jealous of you, and think I am mistaken about my own feelings. But jealousy doesn't mean love. . When people really love. I think it's seldom that they're jealous. What makes people jealous usually Is suspecting the other person of having the same sort of secret they have themselves. It hurt my vanity that you didn't love me; and it stung me to think you cared for
some one else, just as I did. I want you to remember me gently. And somehow, I think that, after you've read this, you will, even If you did love some one else. If you ever see this at all. Harvev-and I may tear It up some
day on impulse but If you ever do see it,
I shall be dead, ana we snaii ooin uc free. And I want you to come to me and look at me and' It ended thus abruptly. No doubt
she had intended to ppen the envelope and finish it but, what more was there to say?
I think she must have been content
with the thoughts that were in my
mind as I looked down at her lying in death's inscrutable calm. I had one of my secretaries hunt out the man she had loved a sad, stranded wreck of a man he had become; but since that day he has been sheltered at least from the worst of the buffetings to which his incapacity for life exposed him. There was a time when I despised lncapables; then I pitied them; but latterly I have felt for them the sympathetic sense of brotherhood. Are w not all Incapable? Differing only In degree, and how slightly there, if we look at ourselves without vanity; like practice-sketches put upon the slate by Nature's learned hand and Impartially sponged away.
CHAPTER XXX. A Philosopher Rudely Interrupted. After the funeral I lingered at our Fredonia place. There was the estate to settle; my two daughters had now no one to look after them ; Junior must be started right at learning the business of which he would soon be the head, as his uncle had shown himself far too easy-going for large executive responsibility. So, I stayed on, doing just enough to keep a face of plausibility upon my pretexts for not returning to Washington. The fact was that Carlottas death had deepened my mood of distaste into disgus4. It had set me to brooding over the futility and pettiness of my activities in politics, of all activities of whatever kind. I watched Ed and my
children resuming the routine of their
lives, swiftly adjusting themselves to the loss of one who had been so dear
to tfcnr and apparently so' cecessarv
to their happiness. The cry or man overboard," a few ripples, a few tears; the sailing on, with the surface of the water smooth again and the faces keen and bright. Woodruff wrotev urging; then he sent - telegram afUr telegram. Still I procrastinated; for all the effect his letters and telegrams had upon me, I might as well have left unopened. My final answer was: "Act as you would If J were dead." i Probably, what had given my pessimism its somberest tone was the attitude of the public toward Burbank's high appointments. I had confidently predicted that filling all the high offices with men who had no interest but "the interests," men who were notoriously the agents and servants of the great "campaign contributors." would cause a public outcry that could not be ignored. The opposition press did make perfunctory criticisms; but iowhere was there a sign that the people . were really angered. I got the clew to this mystery from my gardener, who prided himself on being strenuously of the opposition party. "What do you think of the new administration?" said I when I came upon him one morning at the rhododendron beds. "Much better than I allowed," said he. "Burbanks's got good men around him." "You approve of his cabinet?" "Of course, they're all strong party men. I like a good party man. I like a man that has convictions and principles, and stands up for 'em." "Your newspapers say some pretty severe things about these men." "So I read," said he, "but you know how that is, Mr. Sayler. They've got to pound 'em to please the party. But nobody believes much he sees in the
newspapers. Whenever I read an item about things I happen to know, it's all wrong. And I guess they don't get it any nearer right about the things I don't happen to know. Now, all this here talk of there being so many millionaires I don't take no kind of stock in it."
"No?" said I. Of course some's poor, and some's rich that's got to be. But I think it's all newspaper lies about these big fortunes and about all the leading men in politics being corrupt. I know it ain't so about the leading men in my party, and I reckon there ain't no more truth in it about the leading men of your'n. I was saying to my wife last night: 'It's all newspaper lies,' says I, 'just like the story thej irinted about Mrs. Timmins eloping vith Maria Wilmerding's husband, vhen she had only went over to Rab )it Ford folks to visit her married 'aughter. No, they can't fool me hem papers." "That's one way of looking at it,'" ,aid I. "It's horse sense," says he. And I've no doubt that to the aver ige citizen, leading a small, quiet lif nd dealing with affairs in corner grocery retail, the stupendous fact jf accumulations of wealth and whole sale, far-and-wide purchases of the politicians, the vast system of
bribery with bribes adapted to evefy taste and conscience, seem impossibilities, romancings of partizanship and envy and sensationalism. Nor can he understand the way superior men play the great games, the heartlessness of ambition, the cynicism of political and commercial prostitution, and the sense of superiority to the legal and moral codes which comes to men w-ith success.
