WV. 4 I Black Pattl Company. The Black Patti Company in "In the Jungles," which comes to the Academy of Music next Wednesday afternoon and night, is one of the largest and oldest negro companies on the road today, being In its fif teenth successful season. The princi pals are conceded to be the pick of the colored performers in the coun try and together with the chorus give a pleasing performance. The book and music of "In the Jungles," is the work of Happy Ju lius" Glenn, principal comedian with the Black Patti Company, and is said to contain abundant material to amuse and entertain. - The Binghampton, N. Y., papers in speaking of the performance given at the Stone ouera house by the Black Patti Company said that "In the Jungles," as presented at that popular playhouse was the equal ot and superior to many musical shows given by entirely white artists. It you enjoy good music, good comedy and an elaborate stage setting, don't miss meeting "In the Jungles" when it comes to the local playhouse." Madame Sherry Returns, If "Madame Sherry" as played ear ly this season is a fair sample of French vaudeville, it is time that more of the same kind was imported, if it. can be put on in the same com plete style. As an entertainment, it is a decided novelty. Not merely in its production, but in Its general scheme, and it is so well done that it is a foregone conclusion that the theatre will be packed to the doors when "Madame Sherry" returns on Monday, matinee and night, February 26th.

' In a party of lawyers in the county court house the other day this story was told, which illustrates the point: A badgering lawyer was examining a doctor in an asault case. The so licitor represented the defense, and the doctor testified that he treated the prosecutor for a black eye. "What doy uo " mean by a "black eye'?" queried the legal gentleman. "I mean 6ald the doctor without' a smile, that the' prosecutor had re ceived a severe contusion over the lower portion of the frontal bone, pro ducing extensive ecyhosis around the eye, together with considerable in flltrateion of the subjacent areolar tis sue.' The medical witness , was relieved fromfurther cross-examination. Hoax "Why; do ' women paint?" Joax "With the idea of making them selves pretty."

And .the medical profession does not escape be ing tainted by such people and such get-rich-quick operatons. These people do not remain long in one place. They couldn't do that and get in their money. For they have found out that they cannot fool people all the time. When the victims realize that they have parted with their money and have received nothing, in. re turn except experience, it is time for the graft ers to move on. Unfortunately for honest physi cians who advertise, these fakirs are liberal users of printers' ink. And many people get the impression that he who advertises should be looked on with suspicion. I knew all about it. I have been looked on with suspicion and I have had to llve down this and SHOW the public that I DO what I SAY I DO. The result has been that I have secured the confidence of those who have consulted me. Every business or-professional man advertises in one way or another. Some use newspapers and magazines and others get on prominent corners, while still others join clubs, churches, societies and cultivate acquaintances. It's all advertising. I prefer to tell my story in the newspapers and carry out my promises. I am no medicine seller. Instead, I sell knowledge and ability to success fully treat chronic diseases of both men and women. This knowledge and ability comes from years of study and specializing. That's why I say I can cure any case which CAN be cured. I am no long-distance, mail-order diag nostician But let me see my patient and before I undertake to: give treat ment I will KNOW that I am treating. I won't guess at it.

Just as- it is allowable with the Bed ouin to steal camels, so the young men mav help one another to steal wives from other tribes. For example, says the Wide World, notice will be given beforehand by a youth to the parents of the girl, that since , she has not been asked for, he wants her and is willing to pay such and such a price. Only the rich can afford to buy themselves pretty wives, for the price is sometimes considerable. Besides camels; goats, sheep and" clothing, a large sum of money must be also paid. It' often happens that the parents of the girl refuse to give her at the price fixed, or declare that they wish to keep' her longer, or that she is too young. ' This may continue until the young man is exasperated and will - not be put off any longer. He then forms a company of his companions, ;all mounted and well armed, while he also mounts on camels and horses ten women of his camp. They go secretly to the camp where the girl is and while the young man companions wait with their rifles loaded and ready out side the tent, the women go into the apartment of the harem and bring the girl out "by force. It is not allowable for strange men to enter the harem quarters, neither would it be proper for the father of the girl to resist or touch strange wo men. The women easily overpower the mother and women servants, and, setting the girl on-a horse or camel gorgeously decked, they set off home ward with their company. ' She is then taken to' the tent of the young man, who makes a feast, and with this the marriage ceremony is complete. From the time that a Bedouin Is 18 years of age until he dies of old age he is more or less looking out for new wives. By law, - Mohammedans are never allowed to have more than four at the same time, but they easily pvarfp this reeulation by divorcine one. which simply means sending her back to her parents. This is. often because she has borne him . no sons. . So . it happens that the old sheiks almost always have young wives. It is considered, effeminate for a man to show affection for his wives, at least openly. One of the young sheiks of the Adwans, Mouthafy, who recently lost his youjfg and only wife, acknowledged to be prettiest girl in the tribe, she tears at her grave.. For this he was much laughed at by his companions, who said: "If a man's wife die he can easily nrocure himself another." But for a deceased father, brother or even a motner, tney.tninK it does not show weakness to mourn. This seeming indifference to women has undoubtedly . grown out of the idea the men entertain that to ex press appreciation of. them would be weak and unmanly. The Bedouins, in private, treat their wives with more consideration than is generally shown among Orientals, especially so if they hav home sons. Bedouin women can go . about alone, and no one dare mo lest them on pain of deathi The Cost of Living. The man of ordinary means, and hon est withal, walked into the general food emporium and addressed the mag nate behind the mahogany counter: .'What" a pork today?" he inquired tentatively. "Eighteen to 20 cents.' 'And mutton'?" "Twenty to 24." 'And beef?' 'Tyenty-two and up." The man hesitated. "How much is -hay?' he inquired meekly. "Twenty-five dollars a ton in the bale. . "All right, let me have four pounds-.' - ' And to this at last does the high cost of living bring' an honest and a hungry community. Mi. H. J. ZehnIo Play in High Point Mr. H. J. Zehm, of Elizabeth College, goes to High Point tomorrow, where he is booked for an organ-recital on the new rgan in the Woman's Memorial Lutheran church, tomorrow night. He expects to return Tuesday morning. The music loving folks of High Point have a treat in store, for Mr. Zehm is a musician of supreme skill. daisies" 'neath it LORD, KEEP MY MEMORY GREEN.
