The announcement in another
column, of the coming of Uncle
Tom’s Cabin show to this city, re
calls the incident of a score of years
ago, when Edwin Booth and Law
rence Barrett the two great trage
dians, were in the zenith of their
world wide fame. The manager of
an opera house in one of the inter-**
ior cities of a western state at that
time, had been bookings high-class
attractions at his opera house all
season, but the people were cold
and unresponsive, and the box of
fice receipts small and unprofitable.
Ruminating one day upon the tend
ency of neople in general to turn
out en masse to a ’’Tom show” he
got out a lot of flaming posters on
which he announced with biting
sarcasm: Engagement Extraordi
nary. Booth and Barrett in Harriet
Beecher Stowe’s Immortal Story of
Slavery Days—Uncle Tom’s Cabin;
Edwin Booth as Uncle Tom, Law
rence Barrett as Little Eva.”
The claim is made that John
Barnes of Rhinelander, should be
opposed as a candidate for judge of
the Supreme Court for the reason
that he has been and still is a Dem
ocrat. The remarkable thing about
this claim is that it is made on be
half of Mr. Bashford, who was |him
•self a Democrat for nearly sixty
years; then became a supporter of
Governor La Follette; and then turn
ed upon La Follette and attached
himself to the Connor-Davidson wing
of the party in 1906; and dow an
nounces himself as a non-partism
• candidate and claims support mainly
on the ground that he is a Republi
can. It has been a rule in Wiscon
repeatedly approved by the peo
ple, tnat politics should cut no figure
in judicial elections. Mr. Bashford
is not to be criticised for changing
political opinions; that is the privi
ege of every American citizen —but
he is justly subject to criticism
when he as a non partisan candidate
bases his claim for support on polit
ical grounds, especially in view of
all the facts.

western hotel on Thursday, April 2,

usual opportunity offered to consult

out of health.
The Noiseless Shooting Iron.
Whether the startling new invention
of young Maxim will change the con
ditions of warfare must remain a sub
ject for guessing until tests are made
by competent judges. For most pur
poses the modern high power army
rifle possesses about all the advantages
which could be claimed for a noiseless
substitute. Smokeless powder makes
a firing line practically invisible if the
soldiers are properly sheltered, and the
range Is so great that bullets strike the
enemy’s column before the report of
the volley is heard. The report when
it comes discloses the direction of the
hostile force, but that can also be
guessed from the flight of the missiles.
But for men of murderous Intent the
noiseless gun will offer temptations.
The report of an assassin’s pistol gives
alarm, and anyway the pistol itself
often turns up as a clew. The noise
less dagger is a telltale, and the user
of it often has trouble in getting away
from the scene*before discovery. But
a rifle which will send a bullet half a
mile and more, giving no report and
free of smoke, will place a fearful
weapon In the hands of the king kill
ers and the person with a private
grudge to settle. The Black Hand
band and all anarchists wjll surely
bless Hiram Percy Maxim if his noise
less gun proves to be the real thing.
Within the past year timber to the
value of $50,000 has been sold from a
forest tract in InSand which was
planted fifty years ago. Four times as
much labor has been employed op, this
tract as would be needed for agricul
tural tillage on the same soil, and the
timber venture has proved more profit
able to the estate than any other crop
could have been.
Any speech that did not happen to
get a chance on Washington’s birthday
will do just aS well for the Fourth of
July.
For Boys from 4 to 18 yrs old, who wear Knee Trousers is this
■ Suspender—called the “KAZOO which holds up their Pants and
Stockings too. For their stockings never wrinkle nor sag, neith
er do their trousers hang on them like a bag. . . . .
“KAZOO” Suspenders are strong and durable and just the thing for romping boys. they are the cheapest ar
ticle ever offered for them. Only 50c and 75c. Satisfaction guaranteed. Parents, you can’t afford to put the
garter on your boys to support the hose, for they impede the circulation of the blood which is liable to produce
Rheumatism and Baralysis. This Suspender has come to your rescue. Try a pair, you will not regret it. Again
this suspender acts as a brace to your youngster’s back and helps to keep him straight, but is perfectly easy on
him. He has perfect freedom with his shoulders. The Snaps and Buckles work the same as on men’s sus
pender, which convenience enables him to dress as quickly as a man. Sizes run 4,6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18.
Tiny adjust to intermediate Sizes. Ask to see the KAZOO SUSPENDERS.

When the shah of Persia goes for an
automobile ride he gets into a humble
horse drawn vehicle at the rear of the
procession and watches his admiring
subjects throw dynamite bombs at the
gayly painted gasoline chariot in which
he is supposed to be sitting. Yet it is
said that the east is effete.
The Russian press is now demanding
the trial by court martial of General
Kuropatkin. Having failed to whip
the Japanese, Russia evidently desires
to demonstrate her ability to spank her
own generals.
According to a fashion note, “Easter
hats will be smaller this year.” In
that case the average woman will have
a still harder time convincing her hus
band that she got her money’s worth.
A critic of Bernard Shaw says he is
either wrong or right. That seems to
be the general opinion of those who
have read his works, but they didn’t
know how to express It.
About the time that both men and
women are satisfied they are getting
their rights predictions of the world’s
end will be taken seriously.
Instead of going out of business at
the age of sixty Mr. Harriman is still
daring his enemies to come in and put
him out.

On the famous Pikes Peak Cog
Railway in Colorado, the steep
grades of the mountain necessitate
the use of cog wheels to control the
train, and vibration often so injures
ordinary watches that an expert
repairman must readjust them.
A conductor on the Pikes Peak road
made a ninety-day test of the South
Bend Watch last Summer.
No adjustment of the watch was made
for the whole period, but at the end oi
the test, examination showed a variation
of less than one-half second per day. Do
you think the watch you carry could
stand a test like this ?
We will be pleased to show you our
line of these watches at any time.
