“THE MINISTER’S SON.’’
“The Minister’s Son’’ is an
exceptionally clever and remark
able play. Its four acts are
filled with comedy, realism and
sentiment, mixed by a master
hand. There is no flagging of
heart interest throughout, and it
tempts the ear to fall upon the
lip of laughter. As a vehicle
for the display of the peculiar
talent of W. B. Patton it could!
not be excelled. Quaint and |
original in his methods, realistic
and exceedingly magnetic as
Simon Ray the minister’s son, a
character full of comedy and
pathos—he holds the interest of j
the audience from start to finish, j

A STRANGE TURN.
Charleston, Feb. 4. — Judge
Jeptha H. Evans of Booneville,
whose opposition to Gov. Jeff
Davis two years ago was one of
the sensational episodes of the
campaign, delivered an address
at Charleston Tuesday in favor
of Governor Davis. The corres
pondence that passed between
Judge Evans and Governor Davis
on the occasion of their recent
estrangement was about the
most bitter mutual arraignment
one ever finds in the literature
of political philippics. That Judge
Evans should now champion one
whom he then so bitterly de
nounced passes understanding.
GAVE HIM A FRIGHT.
Bat When the Explanation Came
Henry Found Oat Things Were
Not So Bad.
He was a constant visitor. He favor
ably impressed her sisters and mother
by his dignified behavior and sensible
conversation. He would probably have
had the same gratifying effect upon her
father, but as the latter was completely
immersed in business he was at home J
very little of the time. The young man
had a dim recollection of being intro
duced to him once and speaking a word
or so, but since that time had not seen
him at all. However, this didn’t bother
him much, and his love affair came to a
focus rapidly, says London Tit-Bits.
When he asked the young lady to be
come his wife she referred him to her
father.
“I’ll see him to-morrow, dear,” he re
plied.
‘‘No, I don’t think you can,” she an
swered; ‘‘he’s going out of town on a
long business trip to-morrow evening,
and so will not be here when you come.”
"By Jove, then,” responded the young
man, “I’ll drop in on him at the office.”
The next day he turned up at the place
of business of his idol’s father. He
knew he was head of the concern. He
made his way into the office and there
confronted a very busy gentleman in
deed. Asking for a moment of the lat
ter's time, he said:
“I have come to ask you for your
daughter’s hand."
The man addressed stopped, turned
round and looked at him a moment, and
then said:
“I’m sorry to tell you, young man, but
my daughter is to be married to-mor
row."
Without waiting for an explanation
the horror-stricken suitor rushed from
the building. He hailed a cab and drove
madly to the young lady’s home.
“What—what does lT all mean?” he
gasped, as soon as he saw her. “Speak!
What does it mean? I have just seen
your father at his office, and he says that
you are to be married to-morrow.”
“Why, Henry,” she ejaculated, in a
tone of astonishment, “my father?
Why, he left for the north last night’
A little further conversation revealed
the fact that Henry had been speaking
to her father’s partner.

Scrofula arises from poor, thin, watery blood. It can
not exist with pure, rich, red blood coursing through the
veins and arteries. In order to enrich and cleanse the _
blood, the digestive organs must be stimulated and toned ^
up so that they take the best from food, and the liver and
kidneys must be stimulated to carry away blood impurities.
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules cure scrofula by purifying the blood. All
tissues of the body are fed, maintained and cleansed by the blood. The
blood contains, at one time or another, everything which is about to be
come a part of the tissue and everything which has served its purpose,
been discarded and ceased to belong to them, thus it is both the scavenger
and the food-provider of every cell of the body.
It is as important that the worn-out particles and impurities of the blood
be removed as that new and wholesome material be provided, for the presence
07 * °nC P°’sorls the tissues, and the lack of the other starves them.
r or over 40 years Johnston’sTonicCapstiles have been held in high esteem
as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism, eczema,
old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh, scurvy,
boils, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney troubles and
a long list of common ails and ills.
,e have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many
years experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer:
bend us a dollar for a large box of Johnston’s Tonic Capsules, 4»r buy the same
0 e? . whose name appears below, use half of them, and if you are not
satisfied, mail the balance to us and we will return your money. Test them at
Dur risk and be your own judge. Michigan Drug Co.. Detroit. Mich.
