STAGE FRIGHT,
Not Even a Veteran Is Wholly Fro* |
From the Disots*. ?
It Is said that there-tire iwlly few
public personages whte are free from
liability to stage frlitlit i"he veteran
Is as likely to be affected as the novice.
Frequently the attack cornea when
least expected, and. no matter how
often the speaker or the artist may
have faced au audience, he can never
feel quite certain that he will not un
dergo the tortures of this form of
nervousness.
It is a curious fact nevertheless that
stage fright sometimes stimulates in
stead of hopelessly confusing the
Hpeaker or performer. There Is a story
to the effec that a friend of Canning
once obsered to him Just as that
great man was about to address the
house of commons on an Important
measure: "Why, your hands are cold
and clammy You 'ire nervous."
"In that case," Canning Is reported
to have replied. "I shali make a good
speech." And the prediction was fully
verilled. sln>e the orator was at his
very best on that occasion.
For obvious reasons musicians are
among the worst sufferers from stage
fright Om artist trembles, another
perspires excessively, a third suffers
from headache, and a fourth Is con
sumed with a terrible thirst Its most
embarrassing manifestation, chiefly
among those performing upon stringed
instruments, lies In the nervous trem
bling of the bow when sustained notes
are attempted
Pianists, too, have their troubles In
this respect, and many artists have
told of cases wherein "their fingers
ran away with them." Singers ex
perience a "catch In the throat" that
Is deadly, to say nothing of a twitch
ing of the lips, fatal to clear enuncia
tion.
It is related that Rubinstein, in the
height of his powers, gave over the
profits of a lucrative engagement for
no other reason than that he suffered
an attack of this- curious malady.?

ANCIENT MONOPOLIES.
A Corner In Corn In the Early Days of
the Egyptians.
The evil of monopolies and rings wrs
known to ancients. Aristotle referring
to them in his 'Tolltlcs," and then, as
now, It was found necessary to bold
them In check by legislation. The mo
nopolist was in Roman law called a j
dardanarlus and punished under the !
X/Sx Julia de Annona. Monopolies of
clothing, flsb and all articles of food
were prohibited by the Emperor Zeno
under pain of confiscation and exile, so
that It Is certain that the rings of the
ancient days were as mischievous as
they are now. At Athens a law lim
ited the amount of com a man might
buy. The earliest recorded Instance we
hare was n corn ring.
There Is an ancient tradition that the
king who made Joseph bis prime min
ister and committed Into bis hauds the
entire administration of Egypt was
Apepi Apepl was one of the shepherd
kings and ruled over the whole of
Egypt as Joseph's pharaob seems to
have done. The prime minister during
seven years of remarkable plenty
bought up every bushel of corn beyond
the absolute needs of the Egyptians
and stored It During the terrible fam
ine that followed he was able to get
his own price and bartered com suc
cesslvely for the Egyptian money, cat
tle and land and, taking one-fifth for
pharaoh. made him supremely wealthy.
It was not merely a provident act, but
a very politic one. his policy being to
centralize power In the monarch's
hands.? London Answers.

A PUMPKIN
EPISODE
' By M. QUAD ,
C'pyrtght, 1913, by Associated Lit- i
erary PreM
If at any tine during tbe year 190S J i
you bad arrived in tlie village of Oraf- 1 1
ton In a certain middle state you would
hare found a restful, peaceful place.
No one rushed about. No one talked \
po tties. No one argued over Jonah |
and the whale. There were no quar
rels among men or dogs. If you hao
asked Deacon Somers what thrilling i
event had happened In Grafton In tbe
last twenty yearn be would have taken
Ave minutes to reflect and then slowly (
answered:
"Waal, I can't think of nawthln'
'cept the Baptist church being struck '
by llgbtniu'!" 1
In that same year a man traveled
aver a >;ood part of Indiana and Illinois i
biij ing pumpkin seeds of fanners. He
offered 15 cents a pound for all they
would send blm in tbe fall to a certain ,
address In Chicago, and If a farmer
wanted some money in advance to pro
tect himself be got it. ?
It was the same man that had bought 1
'.he seeds several hundred miles away '
that appeared In Grafton early In Jan- <
wiry or the next year. He had come
to herald tbe fact that a great medical
discovery bad beep made by accident,
as most great things are. It wis tnat
tbe seeds of a certain pumpKln growc
nowhere else except aiong tne Lybian 1
desert were a sure cure for indigestion,
liver troubles, kidney allnents, nerv
ousness and a dozen other things.
They would positively prevent con
sumption and cancer and all sorts of
fevers.
Mr. Wh!te had a few of the seeds
with blm. They were chocolate color
ed Instead of a yellow white. They
could be bad only In Chicago, and no
order exceeding a peck would be filled.
Just bold a seed In the mouth for five
minutes and then chew It down.
Grafton woke up. Bell county woke
up. Other counties woke up. A full
page ad. In the local papers woke the
editors up. Talk about booms and a
raise of 20 per cent in real estate!
Why, here was a gold mine, and every
body owning an acre of ground was
going to become a millionaire inside of
two years.
Did the conflding public send away
to Chicago for the Lyblac seeds? You
bet they did! They got 'em by the hun
dred, the pint, tho quart and the peck.
Some men made the trip there nnd
back that they might piead In person
for n larger quantity than the circular
allotted. The letters going west aver
aged thirty per day for mouths.
The editors said that Mr. White was
an honest man and the crying need of
the country was more like him.
Mr. White himself didn't say much.
He was too busy signing coutracts to
do much gabbing. What he did say, 1
and with much feeling, was that he 1
hoped the people would not forget him '
after he had departed. 1
They haven't yet and probably never i
will.
The village of Urn' ton had four pret
ty fair doctors. At the beginning of
things they called Mr. White a liar, a
faker and c fraud. His reply was that
when Harvey discovered the circula
tion of the blood men wanted to mob
him for a charlatan. The doctors de
nied the curative properties of his J-yb
lan pumpkin seeds. He replied that
for years 8*3 years the medical fra
ternity had fought shy of quinine.
No. they didn't get anything on Mr.
White to scare him out of town be
tween two days. He was right on the
lob all the time, and the doctors suffer
ed Id prestige Instead of gaining. It
was probably oue of the four that
wrote a letter to Washington that
brought au inspector to Grafton to see
If the postal laws were being broken.
He came and suw and went away. He
said that somebody had to get tlie
money of the Uncle Rubes of the coun
try and he could see no difference be
tween Mr. White and the brokers of
Wall street.
As spring approached and the snow
began to go and the |>e?ple to get ready
for pumpkin seed planting there came
to Grafton oue day a professor from
the State Agricultural college. He had
heard of the seeds and wanted to see
them. They were shown him, and he
promptly Identified them as the seeds
of American pumpkins.
"But they are not a yellow-white,"
was protested.
"That's because they have all been
dyed!"
"But these surely came from a des
ert."
"How do you make that oat?"
"They feel sandy."
"Couldn't sand be sifted over themt"
"Sir," said Mr. White to the profes
sor In a quiet and even voice, "are you
prepared to substantiate your allega
tions In a court of law?"
"Yes, I say they are American pump
kin seeds."
"you must prove them to be such or
IMty me heavy damages."
The professor wilted, and when he
had been notified by several parties
that he had better move on he moved.
On the day that the first seeds w?at
into the ground Mr. White took a trip.
He hasn't returned yet
Mere than 300 acres of land were
prepared and planted, and the yield
was tens of thousands of American
pumpkins. Hundreds of people chew
ed up the Lyblan seeds, but no one
was bettered? straight fake and pure
fraud from beginning to end, and yet
there were oiany who felt about it M
? Deacon Johnson did when be said:
"Well, that saves us the trouble of
Investing our money In mortgages?'

Vou \V1U Make No Mistake if You I
Follow Tbla Advice.
Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have pcin In the back,
urinary disorders, dizziness and ,
nervousness. It's time to act and |
no Mme to experiment. These are
frequently symptoms of kidney ,
trouble, and a remedy wbicb 1* ,

Doan's Kidney Pills are a good .
remedy to use. It hag acted effect
ively in many cases In this vicinity.

E. O. Ueaumcut, 685 O 3t?
Eureka, Cal., says: "For a long '
time I had a bad case of kidney and c
bladder trouble. The kidney secret
ions were too frequent In passage
and I suffered a great deal from ,
backache that was especially severe
at night. I applied plasters to my
back and used other remedies, but
without receiving any noticeable (
benefit. Happening to see an ar- ^
tide i-i the papers about Doan's (
Kidney Pll's, I procured the rem- (
Bdy. 1 began using it and In a j
short time my kidneys were restor- c
i'd to a normal condition. I have 1
used five boxes of Doan's Kidney
Pills and can say that I am cured.
As I did not take any other remedy
at the same time, I give the full
credit for my cure to Doan's Kidney
Pills."
