It has boon said theatre goers In America go to the theatre to laugh and forget the enres of business, while In European coun tries going to the thoatro Is as es sential as going to school. Thats why In Europe the principalities have their national Institutions that are supported by tlio government, while In the United States the theatrical or amusement business Is left to the people. The success of an entertain ment In our country depends upon the management giving JJicir theatre pa trons what they want. In the case of Milton Schuster and the Graces of Musical Comedy who play at the Keith Sept. 13, and 14, Just what they arc doing They give you two hours and a quarter of good clean comedy at popular prices, Hence the company nro doing a phenomenal business; un doubtedly the company will repeat last year's success In North Platte.

Tho kid ney Bccrotlons seemed to get more dis ordered as the pain tn my back In creased and tlioy ,vor unnatural and too frciiuont In passage.

Tho origin of tho bulldog for a long tlnio has betsa a matter of controversy, although the origin of the name has been easy to find. It comes from the dog that was used for bull baiting, a sport that was popular some years ngo. Iu attacking the bull the bulldog al ways attacked him In front and usual ly fastened to Ills Hp, tongue or eye nnd would hold on In spite of the strenuous efforts of tbo bull to shake him off. Puppies of six months ol ngo were sometimes tried against n bull to see of what mettle they were made, nltliuugh a dog was not thought ready for his best work until bo was fifteen or eighteen months of age nnd would not reach his prime until font or five lyenrs. Tho bulldog of today Is usually well past bis prime at five years of ago. This undoubtedly bus been brought about by Inbreeding In order to get perfect show specimens, nnd ns a result their constitution!) weakened. Exchnnge. In tho Days Before Coal. People sometimes wonder how thelt forefathers got on In tbo days before coal became the staple heater. They fared 111. Wood was the chief com modity in use, both In Its natural state and as charcoal, tho latter being pre pared In the country nnd suburbs of London and brought Into tho city In carts, tho chief tnnrts for its sale be ing nt Smlthfleld and on Cornhlll. By nn enactment of Richard II. It was de creed that tho price of charcoal should be fixed nt tenpence per quarter from Michaelmas to Easter and elglitpencc per quarter during tho remainder of the year, the regulation of Its sale as well ns that of firewood being committed to the mayor nnd aldermen. Among tho poorer folk fern., reeds nnd stubble served ns food, nnd quite n common method of keeping warm was to sit over pots'" filled with hot water. Lon don Chronicle. Tho Battery an Historic Spot. New York city has nature at both ends, the Bronx park at the north, while nt the southern extremity one finds the Aquarium, which Is so far out of tlu way as to be much neglect ed. And what changes this spot has seen! Originally a rocky point, with a few guns for defense, It became n re sort for fresh air seekers and then was serviceable for public meetings, for which the enormous building- was so well ndapted. Hero Louis Kossuth de Ilvcreil his fervent eloquence to s;nn palhlzlug crowds, and here Barnum held the Jenny Llnd concerts, as ft was the only lnlldlng,qf sulllclentslz" Then It became the entrance for im lgrants, where thousands llrst trod American soil, and. last of nil, It is now the wonderful Aquarium, free to the public.
