AMUSEMENTS.
Alabama. _
The famous play “Alabama" is to be
at Hoyst Theatre to- 1110 ht
The scene, the sentiment, the
roundings of Alabama are all of the
south after the war. The entire action
is out of doors. The play is poetic, , re;
fined simple and full of delicate tender-
ness. There are no blood and thunder
parts, but the story told is interesting.
It is a refined, clean and beautiful play
and one calculatedto please all classes
and to do a great amount of good.

an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too fr equent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of orde1.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort 1n the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the g1 eat kidney remedy
fulfills every w isha' 1n relievin pain in
the back. kidneys, liver, bla der and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold mine and
scalding pain in passing it,- or bad ef-
fects foIlow mg use of liquor, Wine or
beei. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times du11ncr the night to win-
ate.
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wondex ful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty

sample bottle and pamphlet both sent‘
free by mail. Mention THE GAZETTE,

REJUVENATING POSTAL CARDS
A Pioccss b’y Which the Printed Matter
is Removed.
An advertisement has appeared in
some of. the daily papers in which a
cash payment has been offei ed for un-
cancelled printed postal cards. It
seems that many business houses have
occasion to have a large number of
postal cards printed to adv slti‘se some
special line of goods or for the use of
some traveling man. For some reason
or other, the conditions may change,
so that perhaps only half of the 021111;.
are used.‘ Being printed, they cannot
be used'in any other way, and there-
sult is that in nine cases cut of 1621
they are consigned to the waste bas-
ket, as the government does not 1c-
ieem uncancelled postal cards as it
ices stamped envelopes.
A process has been discovered by
which all of the printed matter may
be removed from the card, leaving it
in the same condition as when bought
it the postoflice. A ch11. Ige of one- -ha‘ f
cent per card is made fo1 this work;
1r, in other words, a man sends five
hundred cards to be “made over." The
man who does the work charges $2.50
for his services, and the customer
taves $2.50, as the printed cards were
it no use to him—Boston Transcript.
SHOES FOR ONE-LEGGED MEN.
Not Difficult to Buy Only One—The Other
Sent to the Factory to be Reunited.
The one-legged man buys his shoes
precisely like the two-legged man. At
:he big stores they break a pair to sell
the single shoe that the one-legged
man requires, without the slighteét
~nesitation; and he can get any kind
it" shoe 'he wants. The single slice
1emaining is sent back to the factory
:0 be mated up, and this is done with
perfect accuracy. Every pair of shoes
.5 numbered, and it could easily, if it
were desired, be traced back to the
stock from which it is made. There
s no guesswork about it. The shoe
"equire-d to mate the shoe remaining
may not be made on the identical last
man which the original shoe was
rude, but it is made upon a last of
mathematically the same proportions,
1nd the pair thus restored is as per-
fectly mated as the original pair.
The one-legged man who buys in
:his way a single shoe pays slightly ,
more than half the price of a pair.
Due-legged men are in the very larg-
est shoe stores among the regular cus-
tomers; and they are not so unusual .
is to be remarkable—New York Sun.
WISE MIRTH. '
E'eiious People Have a. Quick Peiception
of True Huinm.
There is a saying of Chamfort which
many serious-minded people, under
".he pressure of care and work, would
10 well to lay to heart, “the most
thoroughly wasted of all days is that
on which one has net laughed.” It
has often been said that only they
who take life with profound Serious-
'IBSS can be really humorous, for they
ilone perceive ‘those fundamental coh-
:1asts which make humor possible.
Mr. Ford has laid the country under
lasting obligation by correcting the
:mpression that Washington nev‘er
laughed. Deeply serious as he was by
nature, and retired and n'bn- communi-
cative as he was in large companies
no man could. appreciate and enjoy '
fun of any good kind more thoroughly
than the great leader when with his
intimates. It is true Emerson hated
to laugh, but lhis radiant Smile was
better than laughter. Carlyle, on the
contrary, was given to earth- shaking
'aughter—a kind of Berserker laugh:
:,er not with undertones of pathos
1unning through it, Lincoln’s love of
stories, both in the hearing and the
telling, was a safety valve for one
whose tremendous burdens fell on a
temperament deeply tinged with sad-
ness—Outlook.
PUT HER LESSON INTO PRACTICE. '
A Man’s Life Save’d by‘a Woman‘s Courage

Was driving along a. street in Utica,
where she was visiting, when George

1red his legs below the‘ knees.‘ .1 There
were several attendants and inmates
gpon the veranda of the Whitesboro
Sanitarium, in front of which the ac-
:ident occurred, but they seemed too
horrified to offer any assistance to the
injured man. Miss Randall sprang
-’rom the carriage and, examining Fra-
'ier ’s wounds, called for help from the
Sanitarium Receiving no attention,
she rushed into the yard, and, cuttting
iown the clothesline, she bound 11p the
imbs, stopping the flow of blood. She
1fterwards assisted at the amputation,

gave a seance in a Georgia town he-
ran by saying: “I have been requested
