GOOD, EVENING. There is always sure to be trouble in the family when a woman begins to speak of “my money.” What must annoy Aquinaldo in this game of war is :Otis’ continually re- marking? “It’s your move.” A bicycle with sail attachment is a new idea, but the old dislike of going on a tack continues to prevail. What with innings of the diamOnds and outingsof the clubs one feels that a season of pastime has appeared. Owing to the late election result in Baltimore the Democrats .of the state have commenced to hopefully whistle “Maryland, My Maryland,”again. A man is always provoked with him- self for trying to explain things to his Wife when her expression tells him plainly that she does not believe him. All real friends of the children will cordially indorse the views of Super- intendent Brooks of Philadelphia on the subject of home study for school children in the primary grades. Condensed into a paragraph, Dr. Brooks holds that pupils in the first and second grades in the public schools should not be given any home work, being permitted to spend their hours out of school in rest and play. He favors a small amount of home work in the third grade, not exceeding one; half hour and confined to two subjects. - He would increase the home work with each rise in grade, the limit in the’ eighth or highest grade, being two hours per" day, confined to'threc sub- .- jects in anytoue day. In other words, he would, leave the children in the primary grades to recuperate from the fatigue of the five-hour school session without puzzling their brains or culti- vating irritable nerves over lessons to be studied out of school, and he would ' limit the amount of home study re- quired of the older pupils within such reasonable bounds that no reasonably healthy child could be injured by the extra nervous strain. ,. We are glad that Dr. Brooks is lead- ing the crusade against robbing the children of the opportunity for childish play, without which no child can be either healthy or happy. VPlay is quite as essential a part of a child’s healthy physical and intellectual development as books and lessons, and we firmly be- lieve that if the pupils of our public schools were all given fewer lessons and studies and more time for play they would all be better educated and devel- oped in the end. Dr. Brooks has made a start in the right direction, and we' are inclined to think he can go still further on the same road, with profit to the cause of public education and with added comfort and happiness to the children. -A‘ AMUSEMENTS # The Head of the Family. That extremely popular and versatile actor. and indefatigable producer of new plays, William H. Crane is to be seen at Hoyt’s Theatre on Friday in “The Head of the Family,” the comedy which he gave presentation during his enga ement earlier in the season in New York and in which he is said to have found one of his most pronounced successes. Great as was the favor this comedy met with in Gotham that Which has been accorded it throughout the . country is said to have been still great- er. In all of'the cities in which it has been seen it has been recommended and it is given credit for pointing out several very good lessons to those who may look between its bright and pun- gent lines.

L —It does not require an expert to de-. tect the sufierer from kidney trouble. The hollow checks. the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, 'the sallow parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble. desire'to urinate often, or a burning or scalding sensation in passing it; if after passing it there is an unsatisfied feel- ing as if it must be at once repeated, or if the urine has a brick dust deposit or strong odor. . When these syinptomstare present no time should be lost in removing the cause. ' Delay may lead °to gravel, catarrh of ' the bladder,inflammation, causing stop- page, and‘ sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments. or may run into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world-wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it. However, if.you prefer to first test its wonderful merits, mention THE EVEN- ING GAZETTE and write to Dr. Kilmer 3: Co., Binghamton, N.

No man in England felt a keener in- .terest in the American question than did Richard Cobden. He made no secret of his sympathy with the union. He had been in constant correspondence with Mr. Lincoln, and felt for the many- sided American patriot the deepest af- fection. Both Were engaged in a na- tional and far-reaching struggle, and defeat in America meant another cen- tury of tory domination in Great Brit- ain, writes James M. Scovel in Lippin- -cott’s. ' By a. sea-coal fire, late in a Novem- ber night, Mr. Cobden gave me his opin- ion of Abraham Lincoln. “This cen- tury has produced no man like Lin- coln. Here is a man who has risen from manual labor to the presidency of a great people. To me he seems to be the man God has raised up to give courage and enthusiasm to a people unused to the arts of war, fighting what seems to me to be a doubtful bat- tle in the greatest conflict of modern times. \ “I like Mr. Lincoln’s intense vener- htion for what is true and good. His conscience and his heart are ruled by his reason. “I speak of your struggle as doubt- ful, because Mr. Lincoln will have more to contend against in the hostility of foreign powers than in the shattered. and scattered resources of the confed- Eracy.” v Mr. Cobden predictedthe triumph of“ our arms, but, he died before he had more than a Pisgah view of the prom- ised land. - . Bismarck’s lror Nerve Was the result of his splendid health: indomitable will and tremendous ener' gy are not found where Stomach, Liver— Kidneys and Bowels are out of order, If you want these qualities and the suc. cess they bring, use Dr. King’s New Life Pills. They develop every power of brain and body. Only 250 at John A. Riggs’ drug store, 11 Main street. THE OTHER STORY. Revelation Made by the Discovery of . the Indian Picture of Custer’s ' Massacre. In Ainslee’s Magazine is a very inter- esting account of some recent discov- ered picture writing by an Indian who tookpart in the celebrated Custer mas- sacre. The pictures are noticeable for being the work of a Sioux chief who was a prominent actor in the conflict. The original pictures measured very nearly two feet at each dimension. The ‘first of the two represents the Sioux in their contest with Custer .and his men. The prostrate forms of white men are scattered across the base of the drawing. In the right upper cor-, ner a soldier is seen falling from his ' horse to the ground. Directly under- neath the characteristic fighting pos- ture of the Indian on horseback is de- picted. Notable features in the picture are the bugles which are seen toward the left lower corner. Only a mind of com- prehensive power could recall such petty details in a scene of such excite- ment and carnage. The other illustration pictures the dead Sioux after the battle. The differ- entiation of the figures in their apparel and adornment is not without signifi- cance. It is to be supposed that by this means an intelligent Sioux could fix the identity offithe slain. The weapons are )placed just beyond the grasp of the sev- eral figures. It is not an inadequate ex- pression of "the powerlessness of the dead. A Narrqw Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S. D. : “Was taken with a bad cold which settled on my lungs; cough set in and finally termi- nated in Consumption. Four Doctors gave me up, saying I could live but a short time. I gave myself up to my Savior, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to get Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds.‘ I gave it a trial, took in all eight b0ttles. It has cured me. and thank God, I am saved and am now a well and healthy woman.” Trial bot- tles free at Riggs’ Drug Store, 11 Main street. . Regular size 50c and $1.00.
