The longest dance on record is prob- ably that of Willlam Kemp, an actor of some celebrity in the reign of Queen1 Elizabeth. He was a comedian and danced all the way from London to Norwich. He was attended by a taborer, a servant and an overseer, and it was doubtless a good thing for him that there were no omnibuses or police then, for they would probably have imposed more impediments in the way of his progress than did the country people. He started with several presents of groats and crooked sixpences for luck, snd, laden with these, he danced to Stratford with out rest. Subsequently he went in for early rising to avoid market people, and, though suffering from a sprain of the hip which he received, he danced it well again, to the delight of the crowd which accompanied him, some 200 in number. ‘When he reached Norwich he had to dance in and out of the city twice, for his overseer missed him in the crowd and made him do the distance over again to avoid any possibility of error.—London Graphic. Live Mule, Dead Boar. An odd hunting adventure recently befell a British officer in India. He ‘was mounted on a fleet mule and was running down a wild boar, intending to lance it, when the animal ‘turned, bit the mule’s leg and then fled again. The mule screamed savagely, and in a minute she had deposited the officer on the ground. Then, kicking out vigorously five or six times, as if to see that her legs were all right, she started after the unfortunate pig at lightning speed, with fury in her eyes and vengeance in the crook of her ears. The race was not long, and the wild boar soon realized that he had exasperated a relentless enemy. He was soon winded, and the mule, com- ing up with him, caught him by the backbone with her teeth, crunched it and threw him to the ground and then, before he could rise, kicked him so viclously that he was a dead boar in less than no time. Then the mule returned to her master and gave utter- ance to a “heechaw” of triumph. Between Supper and Breakfast. Many persons, says a well known doctor, though not actually sick, keep below par in strength and general tone, and he is of the opinion that fasting during the long interval be- tween supper and breakfast, and espe- clally the complete emptiness of the stomach during sleep, adds greatly to the amount of emaciation, sleepless- ness and general weakness we so often meet. It is logical to believe that the supply of nourishment should be some- what continuous, especially in those ‘who are below par, if we would coun- teract their emaciation and lower de- gree of vitality, and as bodily exer- cise Is suspended during sleep, with wear and tear correspondingly dimin- 1ished, while digestion, assimilation and nutritive activity continue as usual, the food furnished during this period adds more than is destroyed, and in- creased weight and improved general vigor are the results.—London Globe. A Theater Dialogue. The curtain had fallen on the first act at a Broadway theater when a man, correctly attired and apparently of refinement, leaned toward a woman occupying a seat directly in front of him—a woman who had naturally re- moved her hat, but whose hair was arranged in the extreme of fashion, aided by “boughten” puffs. “I beg your pardon, madam,” said the man in an audible whisper, “but if you would remove your hair and sub- stitute your hat I believe I would be able to see something more of the stage.” The woman didn’t scream. didn’t even faint. around and replied: “Jack, if you weren't my brother I'd slap your face.”—New York Globe. She She merely turned Her Little Confidence Game. “We're playing railroad train,” she sald as she pulled her father's paper away, “and I'm the condnctor. Tick- ets, please.” He took a card from his pocket and handed it to her. She looked at it in- tently for a minute and then handed it back. “That was issued yesterday,” she said, “and Isn't good today. You'll have to pay cash or get off the train.” He gave her a dime. He knew he had been “worked,” but what else could he do? Pitched It. A boy was asked what Moses did with the tabernacle in the wilderness when the people murmured. He replied, “He chucked It away.” ‘When asked to explain he read the seventh verse of the thirty-third chap- ter of Exodus, “And Moses took the tabernacle and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp.”—Liver- pool Mercury. Night Rates For a Horse. “Hicks, the hotel man, has a new echeme. He serves Welsh rabbit free to his guests evenings.” “What's his 1dea?” “Well, they have nightmare, and then he charges them for the use of one horse.”—Boston Transcript. Conceit. Conceit Is that attitude of the mind ‘which convinces a man that if he had only lived soon enough he would have been the author of the Bible.—Detroit Free Press. I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know no way of Judging of the future but by the past ~Patrick Henry. S SHOOTS THREE - men In several of the great cities of this and other countries, have been interested and are giving the proposal their personal attention.

'.—Forty extra plain clothes men in addition to the regular police patrol the narrow lane to Chinatown watching the develop- ment of a tong war that has just begun.

The big blue steel revolver, with its ten-inch barrel, the typical tong war gun, made its appesrance at the open- ing of the fight, getting two victims, and while the quarter still swarmed with pclice to prevent further shoot- ing the Chinese lodging house at 13 and 15 Doyers street was fired. More than a hundred -frightened Celestials refused to leave the house while the fire crept through the place, sure that their enemies had started the fire and waited in the street be- low to kill them.

Neglect or pessimism,” we believe, is the greatest enemy the public Las to contend with when applied to the loss or recovery of health. Prac- tically every case of consumption might have been ‘cured if hope had been maintained and proper treat- ment had been resorted to at the first symptoms of the disease. Until the advanced stage is reached con-|| sumption is curable. Catarrh is're- sponsible, we believe, for many cases of consumption. It is about catarrh we want to talk to you to- day, incidentally consumption, since the two are so closely allied. We have a medicine made from a prescription of one of the most suc- cessful catarrh specialists known. We believe it is positively without an equal. We are so satisfied that we are right, that we will supply the medicine free in every instance where it is used according te direc- tions for a reasonable length of time, should it failto give satisfac- tion in every particular. We want everyone to try this medicine at our risk. There are no conditions at- tached to our offer. We put the user under no obligation to us what- ever. The medicine we want you to try is Rexall Mucu-Tone. It isa .| catarrh remedy that goes direct to the seat of trouble. It is carried by the blood to every part of the sys- tem. It purifies and enriches the blood, tones up the mucu cells and brings about a condition of health and strength that tends to prevent the germs of consumption from getting a start. Besides this, Rexall Mucu-Tone is a wonderful appetizer, digestive aid and flesh builder. Its 2ood effects are often felt from the very first dose. It is one of the largest and most satisfactory selling medicines that we have ever had anything to do with. We know so much of the great good that it has done that we per- sonally back it up with our reputa- tion and money, which fact should be ample guarantee to satisfy any- body. Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, 50 cents and $1.00. We urge you to try it. -Remember you can obtain Rexall Remedies in Be- midji only at our store—the Rexall ,Store.
