Unhealthj Kilneys Make Impure Blood.
AM the b\ oa in your body passes through

The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil

If they are sick or out

Pains, aches and rheu

I. used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,

all constitutional diseases have their begin

Four Apples For Rent.
Mr. Clalborn, owner of the cider and

the best right to lament over the fruit

grain. There is no sugar cane to speak
of and no apples at all, says the lola

Business Associate of Great Tragedian
Recalls the Many Persona He Aided
and Vast Number of Christmas
Checks He Sent Out—Disliked Fast
Trains.
Many stories were always current
about the lute Richard Mansfield, the
fatuous actor, during his lifetime, but
many that were never told before
were repeated recently by men who
knew him and who wished to pay
their tribute to bis memory, says the
New York Herald. While all the world
had heard of his quick temper, few
knew of his deeds of charity, and be
possessed many interesting peculiari
ties and eccentricities that were not
generally discussed until after his
death.
Small things would irritate him be
yond all reason, and be bad a way of
discharging members of his company
on very trivial grounds and of paying
no attention usually when he saw
them about afterward. When he waa
dealing In theaters with employees
over whom he had no direct control he
adopted the same arbitrary manner
and usually with the same result
Since the construction of the New
Amsterdam theater he had never ap
peared elsewhere in New York. The
men who worked in the house were In
structed that if Mr. Mansfield told
them they were discharged they should
•ay nothing in reply and that they
were discharged—for the moment—and
should leave and then return to their
posts as soon as be was out of the
way. He discharged various men there,
without authority, of course, Including
the carpenter and the electrician.
When he first appeared in the thea
ter he had a dressing room some dis
tance above the stage, which he had to
reach by an elevator. After two or
three trips above he became very
much annoyed and sent an attendant
to find Mr. Klaw, one of the owners.
When Mr. Klaw arrived Mr. Mansfield,
who seemed very angry, turned upon
him and exclaimed:
“Your theater is very beautiful In
side, but it is like a miserable hotel,
and when I come up here on the ele
vator I feel like pressing the button
and ordering some ice water.”
“Well, then, why don’t you do It?”
replied Mr. Klaw. “You would get
fine carbonated water."
The Actor’s humor changed, and he
made no more complaints. Being bis
own manager, he wished to have a
dressing room from which he could
command the stage, and one was built
especially for him. After he had
moved into it he noticed a mechanic
who was skylarking, having nothing
to do at the moment. He rushed down
and cried:
“You are discharged. Go away and
never enter the theater again. I shall
inform Klaw A- Krlanger tomorrow."
The man. who happened to be an
employee of the Mansfield company
and not of Klaw & Erlanger, obedient
ly put on his hat and coat, went oat
one door, came in another, resumed
work, and that ended the episode.
At the beginning of the run of ‘Ivan
the Terrible” Mr. Mansfield would not
take any curtain calls. The first night
audience kept on applauding for five
minutes, but be refused to appear. At
the end of the play on the second
night Mr. Mansfield concluded to say
a few words. As he was advancing
the asbestos curtain was let down,
and be turned angrily on the stage
carpenter and said:
"I shall not enter this theater again
until you have been discharged. You
must leave h**re now. I shall report
your conduct to Klaw & Erlanger.”
The stage carpenter accepted his dis
charge with good grace and continued
his work as usual. In his own com
pany every employee was discharged
from time to time. One little fellow
who had been discharged probably
ninety times was recognized by Mr.
Mansfield one evening. The actor look
ed around at the others present and
said to his manager, Ben Stevens:
"Dear me! I have discharged them
all, lint it does not seem to have any
effect.”
Mr. Mansfield had his own railroad
car, and whenever he traveled with
his company he had a special train.
He insisted that the sjieed of the train
should never exceed thirty-five miles
an hour, and he contracted with the
railroads on that basis. He had In his
car an instrument for determining the
•peed, and if he found that the train
was exceeding the limit that he had
set be would tug the bell rope as a
signal to stop and would instruct the
conductor to see that the rate was
more moderate. On his last trip from
Denver to Ran Francisco the train was
about eight hours late, bat he persist
ed In maintaining the same speed.
“We will arrive at noon, which will
be just the right time,” he said, and
he was right, as the clocks were just
striking 12 as he reached his destina
tion. j
Even when he was in the shadow of
death he bud a special train. After
landing in Montreal he waa anxious to
get farther south at once and asked
Mr. Stevens to make the arrange
ments. After making inquiries the
manager reported that there were no
trains, as It was Sunday.
“Well, then, buy me one,” said Mr.
Mansfield.
Mr. Stevens “bought” the train, aa di
rected.
“One feature of Mr. Mansfield's ca
reer that waa bidden from the public,’'
•aid Morris Greet, who was for sev
eral years associated with him, “was
his charity and benevolence. He and
the objects of Ills charity were the
only persons who knew of It. I re
call one day in Pittsburg, when the
thermometer waa 15 degrees below'
zero, he picked up a paper and read
an account of a woman with four or
five (hildren who were starving. He
told me to go und see that they were
made comfortable, as it W’ould take
some time for charitable organizations
to act. I went through deep snow to a
miserable hovel, and the woman thank
ed God for the assistance I brought.
I would not tell her who had sent the
money. This was a sample of many
cases. He sent out u vast number
of checks at Christmas time, having
many iieusiouers. more even than Irv
ing had in England. 1 happened to
see once in New Orleans the list he
hud to send, and It was enormous.
“Mr. Mansfield was passionately fond
of children and always made much of
those we carried in the company with
us. There was one little girl with us
Christmas before last. He arranged
a Christmas tree and bought her so
enormous a doll that it could not be
hung on a branch and hud to be con
cealed until it was presented.”

Should President Roosevelt speak lie
fore the assembled ranks of the Grand
Army of the Republic when they meet
at Saratoga for their annual reunion
he will return from the convention
with a token of esteem from the veter
ans which will doubtless reach a ten
der spot In his heart, says the Wash
ington Herald.
Colonel R. E. Whitman, who is an
admirer of the president, is the origi
nator of the idea to present Mr. Roose
velt with a “big stick” similar in shape
to, but fully five times as large as, the
type of souvenir cane which will be
sold to the veterans on the day they
gather at Saratoga.
The stick is straight, tipped with a
solid silver cap and made from two
piles of the historic old Long bridge,
over which in 18d1-65 marched a mil
lion men and which, though finally
torn down Dec. 17, 1906. will live in
song and story so long as the memory
of the great war shall last.
The different kinds of wood used in
the cane are Georgia pine and north
ern oak, so that the cane represents
the two standard woods of the north
and south, linked firmly together as
one “big stick” in tbe possession of the
president, who has done so much to
ward joining the ties of these two sec
tions of this nation. On the end of the
silver cap is inscribed, “The big stick,
Georgia pine and northern oak, timlier
from Long bridge, the old link between
north and south, to the new’ link.
President Roosevelt.”
A sufficient number of souvenir
canes have been manufactured from
the tlnjber of the Long bridge to fur
nish every member of the G. A. R.
with a memento of tjiat historic land
mark of Washington.

Woodchopper Says Hs Is the Famous

Saying he is Ifiondiu, who walked a

He is a woodchopper living alone in a

twenty feet above the street. The man
climbed up and after taking time to
steady himself with the iron pipe walk

Extraordinary Fanaticism of a More

“Hostility, sullen unfriendliness, thin
ly veiled and frequently undisguised,
is the dominant Impression which I re
ceived throughout the Moro province,”
said ex-Seuator Charles A. Towne of
Minnesota in the course of a descrip
tion of his tour of the southern archi
pelago of the Philippines, WTites a
Manila correspondent of the New York
Sun. Together with Senator Joel W.
Stone of Missouri, Senator Towne re
cently spent some three weeks in de
lightful sailing from port to port of
the islands of Pinay, Cebu, Iloilo, Ne
gros. Mindanao and Jolo, and they had
made an arduous and dangerous over
land Journey. While in Mindanao they
were accompanied by soldiers.
The governor general placed at their
disposal his yacht, the Pollilo.
“The Moro is a fierce fellow, and he
has no love for us,” continued Senator
Towne. “Centuries of independent rule
and scores of years of conflict with the
Spaniards, during the course of which
their piracy was somewhat suppressed
and their rule was broken up in so far
as the coast line was concerned, to
gether with an inborn religious dislike
for the infidels, or whites, have left
an indelible mark on this extraordina
ry people who have fallen into our
hands under the government of tbe
Philippines. I understand from ofli
cers who have been in contact with
the Moros that there are some who
profess friendship, but during my trip
I was told on excellent authority of a
prominent datto who bad long sup
pressed his hostile feeling, when sud
denly. without a moment's warning, be
took to the hills with his retainers and
communicated with the commanding
officer of the district, saying that he
had received word from Constantino
ple. from one of the principal dignita
ries of his church, that any cultivation
of friendly relations with the Ameri
cans would be received with high dis
pleasure and that, moreover, the sul
tan would soon send a force to invade
the United States.
“He concluded hls communication by
informing the American officer that
any one who wanted to see him could
come out into the bills and try to get
him. Of course you have all beard of
tbe fanatics called Juramentados, who
rush forth determined to die. charge
into a group of foreigners and kill as
many as possible before receiving the
death stroke, thus earning a high
place in the Moro paradise, and there
have been many examples during tbe
Auerican occupation, but I was told
of a Moro boy only thirteen years of
age who. rushing on an American sol
dier, grabbed him about the legs and
threw him. at the same time slashing
at him with his bolo. The soldier en
deavored to defend himself, and several
of his comrades came to bis assistance
and commenced firing on the fanatic*
who, despite numerous wounds, kept
on slashing at the soldier and cut him
severely. Finally an officer placed his
revolver almost at the boy’s bead and
blew out hls brains. There were four
teen wounds on that child's body, and
yet he sustained bis fiendish attack
until the top of his head was shot off.”
Senator Stone told of a short halt at
the edge of laike Llanao while they
were waiting for the boat to be made
ready. When they arrived the place
was deserted, hut suddenly the 'Moros
begun to appear one by one. apparent
ly springing up out of the brush, until
they realized that a complete cordon
hud been quietly established, with only
the lake as an exit.
“I saw our little guard of soldiers
looking to their weapons and carefully
disposing themselves around us in ad
vantageous positions. The Moros wore
cloths or shawls, which partly covered
them, and I could see no weapons on
them. Nevertheless after I looked into
their faces and saw their expression,
together with the attitude of our own
men, I confess that I moved toward
the lake, though I cannot imagine
what particular advantage I could gain
by plunging Into tbe water. There
was absolutely no chance of swim
ming across the lake, and, while each
one of us might have accounted for
hls man or perhaps hls men in the
event of a conflict, yet the Moros were
so numerous that had they desired
they might have overwhelmed us. 1
was glad when we embarked.”
“And more particularly so,’’ remark-
•d Senator Towne, “when we recall
that just a short distance up the lake
within sight, was a spot which bad
been pointed out to us as the scene of
a fight with tbe constabulary which
had occurred recently, resulting in the
killing and wounding of some forty
Moros, and after all It required no
very great stretch of the imagination
to see in the surly circle which had
quietly formed about ua some sur
vivors of that conflict.
“We got horses at Jolo and rode out
Into the foothills near Mount Dajo,
the scene of the famous fight in tbe
crater, where General "Wood’s forces
wiped out so many Moros, and we
were charmed with Zamboango. Both
Islands are beautiful and rich looking
and apparently full of possibilities, but
the surly people are against us, and I
am afraid they present one of the most
difficult problems with which our gov
ernment has to contend."
Senator Stone nodded approvingly.

two years at Oxford, I learned some
facts about life at the great English
university that surprised me. Eight
een hundred dollars is the least that
will carry a man through the college
year. The $1,500 per year apportioned
to the holders of Rhodes scholarships
has proved inadequate, and as the
property left by the South African mil
lionaire to provide the money for suc

to $2,000.
Extravagance among students as
seen in some American colleges is un
known. The young men are expected
to live alike. Social life is cultivated
and small groups exchange Invitation*)
to breakfasts and dinners. Fellows
and other members of the faculties
are frequent guests, bringing the men
into friendlier relations with their
