VICKSBURG, Miss., Jan. 2%.—The Buelah levee on the east side of the river near Greenville, Miss., broke to- day, and the flood waters are pouring over some of the finest farming land in that section. The water probably will flood a sec- tion of the country 60 miles in length and from five to fifteen miles in width, extending south to a point just north of Vicksburg. No loss of life hag been re- rorted. The crevasse resulted from a settling of the foundation in the new levee. Testimony heard Saturday at the in- Quest into the death of Charles H. Koester, pipeman of Engine Company 19, who was killed at the Condie-Neale Glass Co. fire, 206 North Broadway, Friday morning, showed that Koester was suffocated while answering the call of duty and that the No. 19 company was not equipped with smoke helmets or anything else to guard the men against suffocation. George Hammel of No, 19 testiffed that hLoester slid down a rope in the elevator shaft to the basement and was suffo- cated by the fumes. He was asked if the men were ordered down into the basement or went at the call of duty. Hammel said duty called and they went. “Was it necessary?” he was asked. “Yes,”’ he said; “it was necessary to go down there to fight the fire. The smoke indicated that the fire was there, /jiand the only thing to do was to find it and put it out.” William Fishback and John Waish of tngine Company 26, and Policeman Max H. Thomas were the other witnesses. The verdict was that death was due to accidental asphyxiation. H. D. Condie, president of the glass company, believes the fire was started by persons who entered the building to steal the company’s trade secrets. An investigation disclosed that entrance was gained by climbing a fire escape to the fourth floor and breaking a window. The intruders seem to have descended to the basement by a_ spiral stairway. Condie.says he found that the padlock on the door of an iron vault containing the ,company’s records

The evidence on va yoint was admitted to throw light on Ler intent. It was the duty of the Sat75— however, to consider whether the mation given by Mrs. Hobson to the torney, on whith he based nat pei was true. The juty was instructed that the pre- vids good charactéF of the defendant should be taken into account. Judge Hiram N. Moore made the open- ing argument for the State. Referring to the fact that the defendant was young and prepossessing, he reminded the jurors that they, in answering ques- tions before being selected as jurymen, bad declared that they would not let her youth and attractiveness affect their de- cision. Keeping Money an Afterthought. ° At the time that the check was given into her hands she understood, he was sure, the purpose, and it was not her intention at that time to keep it, but later, as she thought about the $5000 check the idea came to her, why shouldn’t she keep it. Perhaps, Moore said, she wanted to be more fashionably dressed. She came to the final con clusion to cash the check and Keep the money.

BILL FOR 80-F00T VIADUCT AT UNION AVENUE IS PLAN Terminal Agrees to Begin Elimi- nation of Grade as Soon as Passed. A bill directing the Terminal Rail- road Association to build a viaduct § feet wide over its tracks where they intersect Union avenue in northwest St. Louls, and authorizing the payment ‘of consequential damages of $3200 by the city, will be. introduced in the Muni- cipal Assembly within a few weeks, ac- cording to Councilman Lehmberg, chair- man of the Grade Crossings Committee of the Council. The viaduct will cost $117,000 and the eoncrete retaining walls $44,000, miking the entire cost $161,000. Lehmberg told a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday that the Terminal Association has agreed to begin the construction of the viaduct for the elimination of the Union avenue grades as soon as the ordinance ie passed by the Municipal Assembly. The original Union avenue’ grade crossing bill provided for a viaduct 100 feet wide, to be paved with wood blocks. The Terminal objected to this bill. It declared there was no necessity for a Viaduct 100 feet wide, and that as the street is not now paved, it would be unfair to compel the company to pave it with wood blocks, The Grade Crossings Committee final- ly agreed to accept President W. S. Mc- Chesney’s proposition to build an 80-fout viaduct. Lehmberg said he thought the solution of the Union avenue. grade crossing problem would lead to a speedy agreement upon plans for abolishing grade crossings: at Tower Grove ave- nue and Frisco and Missouri Pacific tracks, Delmar avenue and Wabash tracks, and the eight grade crossings on the Rock Island and Wabash lines at points immediately north of Forest Park. The Board of Public Improvements and engineers for the Missouri Pacific and Frisco railroads have practically agreed upon plans for the Tower Grove grade crossings, according to Lehmbersg. The railway tracks are.to be depressed partially, and there will be a slight ele- vation of the streets. THAT TIRED FEELING Suggests Grandmother’s Remedy It’s true, the season is here. with its sudden changes, and the old idea that we need a blood medicine is not without reason. Too much heavy food has caused a torpid liver, sluggish blood, and a weak, tired out feeling. Sulphur, cream of tartar and mo- lasses was grandmother’s remedy, but that has long ago been displaced by Vinol, a combination of the two most world famed tonics; namely, the medicinal, curative elements of the cods’ liver without oil, and iron for the blood. Vinol builds you up, makes you eat more and digest better, makes your blood rich and pure—puts healthy color in your cheeks. P, Barker of Bowen's Mill, Ga., says: “When I was badly run down last spring I took Vino] in an effort to regain my health and strength and it did not disappoint me. It made me feel as well as ever.” We guarantee Vinol to satisfy you and refund your money if it does not. Chester Kent & Co., Chemists.

N. Presley, a clerk was put to death by a physician to relieve his suffering when he was caught in the collapse of a de- partment store building here. which cost at least eight lives. Presley was found pinioned under heavy timbers and debris. Rescuers failed to extricate him and fire com- menced to burn his feet. He cried pite- ously for. someone to shoot him. Then he begged a physician standing near to relieve him of his suffering.

LA CROSSE, Wis., Jan, 25.—Fast mail trains No. 56 on the Chieago, Milwau- kee & St. Paul, carrying the heavy mail from Minneapolis and points west to Chicago and points East, was wrecked near Columbus, 60 miles West of Milwaukee, today. Engineer McBride and Fireman Butz of Portage were seriously injured, and are in the hospital at Columbus. Sev- eral others are hurt. The train was traveling 60 miles an hour when it left the track. Nine coaches went with the engine which struck a stone abutement to a highway bridge, turned over and fell into a shal- low creek, carrying the engineer and fireman with it. A mail, baggage and express car turned over with the engine, but the passenger cars remained upright. There were 150 pasengers. aboard and many were bruised, but not seriously. Original Etchings Placed on Exhibi- tion, Art lovers in St. Louis have received in the past week cards of invitation to the exhibition of original etchings, sent by the Noonan-Kocian Co., Tenth and iocust streets.

HYDE VENIRE COMPLETED KANSAS CITY, Jan. 2%.—A venire of 47 men from which to select a jury for the third trial of Dr. B. Clarke Hyde, for the murder, of Col. Swope, was completed in Judge Porterfield’s court today after 10 days had been spent in the examination of panels. totaling nearly 800 talesmen. United States Senator J. A.

Qa Rowland L. Johnston, former . Prose- cuting Attorney of St. Louis County, Saturday confirmed press dispatches from Muscatine, Io., saying he was mar- ried there Tuesday, to Miss Mildred Kurtenacker. Miss Kurtenacker was for a long time his stenographer and figured prominently in the events which reached a climax when Johnston's first wife got a divorce 12 days ago. Johnston said the ceremony was per- fermed by the Rev. J. B. Rendell, pas- tor of a Presbyterian church at Musca- tine. Rumors that another minister had refused to officiate because of the di- .orce, he declared groundless. No ques- tions about his divorce were asked him by anybody, he said. Comes Home Alone. He came back to St. Louis alone, he said, arriving here Friday. Mrs. Johns- ton is stopping with relatives near Davenport, Io., where she is believed to have been most of the time since she disappeared from St. Louis several months ago. Johnston declares he ex- pects to make his home in St. Louis and contirue his practice here and in St. Louis County. His former wife, Mrs. May C. John- ston. when informed of his marriage, re- fused to discuss it. Had Nervous Breakdown. The present Mrs. Johnston became Johnston’s stenographer a short time after he retired as Prosecuting Attorney of St. Louis County. She was in his confidence in his business affairs. After a nervous breakdown of Johnston last summer, she was arrested at his office in the city, taken to Clayton, lodged in a cell several hours and then dis- charged. Since her release from cus- tody she has been away from St. Louis. Process servers have tried in vain to reach her several times. ~ : Johnston spent a week at Dieke’s in St. Louis County last summer about the time of his nervous breakdown. Miss Kurtenacker visited him there, and when she returned to St. Louis she took his watch and some papers. Mrs. Johnston, then living at the Crags in St. Louis County, and John Johnston, father of the attorney, caused Miss Kurtenacker’s arrest. Johnston was brought to St. Louis and placed in ®, sanitarium, and subsequently declared insane by the Probate Court of St. Louis County, and his former wife, Mrs. May Johnston, was appointed his guardian. During her guardianship a will Jchn- ston had made, bequeathing practically all of his property to Miss Kurtenacker, was found in a safe deposit box. Miss Kurtenacker was indicted at Clayton on embezzlement charges. The charges were later dismissed. Wife Gets a Divorce. Soon after her digappearance Johnston recovered from his nervous breakdown and applied to the Probate Court for the vacation of the guardianship and the restoration of his rights. After a long trial he was adjudged sane, and his property restored to him. Miss Kurtenacker is a tall girl, of wil- lowy figure, with black hair and eyes. FOLLOWS ROBBER TILL SHE FALLS IN SWOON Mrs. Kate Momeno, 30 years old, wife of Frank Momeno, a musician of 3667 Laclede avenue, struggled with a man who attempted to steal her purse Friday night and chased him a block before she fainted and fell unconscious to the pavement. The man broke the chain by which Mrs. Momeno held the purse and escaped with it into an alley. Mrs. Momeno was knocked down in the struggle and rolled down a flight of stone steps leading to the porch at her home. Her back was wrenched and she was bruised about her body. She re- ceived a cut on her right hand when she struck the man in the face. The purse contained $2 in money, a few \isiting cards and a pair of gold spec- tacles valued by Mrs. Momeno at $12.

At an additional cost to the city of $600 a month the workhouse bill of fare will be changed Feb. 1 so that the pris- oners will have three meals every day and meat twice a day. When the new system goes into effect Capt. Primavesi, the superintendent, will discontinue the present system of permitting friends and relatives to pass food to the prisoners. This prohibition will include tobacco and other luxuries, and newspapers and magazines. Capt. Primavesi told a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday that so long as outsid- ers are permitted to take or send food, tobacco or reading matter into the work- house, it is impossible to check the smuggling of cocaine, morphine and other drugs.

Drugs have been found in plugs of tobacco and hidden in the handles of baskets. ““We have decided to treat all prison- ers alike, and to permit no one to re- ceive favors from outsiders,” said Capt. Primavesi. “To make up for this we will improve the quality and increase the quantity of the food served at the work- house tables.” Under the present system the prison- ers have nothing to eat from Saturday noon until 9 a. m. Sunday. When the new system goes into effect they will have three meals on Saturday as on oth- er days. On Sundays also they will have three meals instead of two. Meat Twice a Day. Heretofore the prisoners have had meat only at the noonday meal. They will, after Feb. 1, have it for dinner and supper. On Wednesdays and Saturdays, under the new system, for breakfast there will be oatmeal, syrup, bread and coffee. The dinner bill of fare will be beef stew, tur- nips and carrots, and all the bread the prisoners can eat. For supper they will have bacon, lima beans, bread and cof- fee. This menu will be varied from day to Gay with boiled mutton, boiled beef or stew for dinner, and bacon, pork sausage or corned beef for supper. COUPLE ENGAGED TO WED IN SPRING ELOPES Walter C.

Menges, 4341 Page boulevard, eloped to Alton and were married Friday. There was no opposition to the match on the part of the parents of the bride and groom, who understood that the wedding was to take place some time in the spring; but the young couple grew impatient and decided to hasten matters. The bridegroom, who is employed by the Union Electric Light and Power Co. in the billing department, is a native of Norfolk, Va., having come to St. Louis about two years ago. The bride is the daughter of George A. Menges, soliciting agent of the New York Central Lines in St. Louis. Six Missing in Alaska Storm.

Krische, saloon keeper at 900 Barton street, who was shot and killed Thursday night by men wh oentered his saloon and ordered him to throw up his hands, threw no light on the identity of the men who killed him. William Unger of 2407 Menard street, the only person in the saloon besides Krische, testified that he was standing at the bar when some men, he did not know how many, opened the side door and ordered “hands up” and began shooting. He ran out through the front door and did not see the men. John Kutscha of 1913 South Ninth street, who was passing, saw three men run out of the saloon, but was doubtful whether he could identify them. The verdict was that Krische came to his death at the hands of persons un- known to the jury. —E | THE DAY IN CONGRESS. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2%. SENATE. Not in session. Meets at noon Mon- day. ’ HOUSE.

A GARBAGE DUMP AGAIN IN A WEEK Great Western Chemical Co. Not to Receive Refuse for Re- duction After Jan. 31. PLANS FOR A CITY PLANT j Officilals May Be Forced to Ask Government to Let Them Use the River for Time. Chesley Island will come into its own as a dumping ground for St. Louis garbage within a week. Wal- ter D. Coles, referee in bankruptcy, has issued an order directing the re- celyers for the Great Western Chemi- cal Co.. which has the present garb- age reduction contract, to notify the city in‘writing that it will not receive any more garbage after Jan. 31. _In anticipation of such an order, President Reber of the Board of Pub- lic Improvements, and Mayor Kreis- mann, had made arrangements with the owners of Chesley Island to use that as a temporary dumping ground for the garbage. Until other arrange- ments for the disposal of the garbage can be made, it will be transported to the island in barges and plowed under the ground, so that it will give off no offensive odors to annoy the people living in the vicinity of Kimmswick. Reduction Plant Plans. Mayor Reber are working on plans for a municipal garbage reduction plant, and say they will submit plans to the Municipal Assembly before the expi- ration of the present administration in April... © Barges have been anchor points on the levee for t to receive the garbage. Reber and other city officials have just 1eturned from a visit of inspection to the garbage plants of Chicago, Cincinnati and Indianapolis. It was their conclu- sion, after inspecting the plants of other at several ‘past / week , cities, that the proper course for St. Louis. to pursue was to build its own _ plant, and thus permanently settle the _ garbage question. Used Under Mayor Wells. Chesley Island was used as a garbage dumping ground for several years dur- ing the administration of former Mayor Wells. The island is 20 miles south of the city. A farmer leased the island and he garbage to hogs. Reber thinks it will be impracticable to dump the garbage on the island dur- ing the summer months. If the garbage _ plant is not completed, or some other Satisfactory arrangement made, he @id the city may be forced to apply to the Government for permission to throw the garbege into the river for a few months. He said the Government would not likely give the city permission to tnro-v. the garbage into the river at all sea- sons of the year, but might grant the privilege for a short time, in an emer- , Bency.

The Governur saw a Russian re- jected on account of a wéak heart and listened to the testimony before the Special Inquiry Board regarding an- other Russian charged with being a “white slaver.”” This man also was ordered deported. 6235 MORE NAMES FOR INITIATIVE PETITIONS People’s League Fears Election Commissioners Will Delay Granting Certificate.

SEEING EUROPE O HAVE you seen Europe since all of us left 9 And crossed the immediate sea? They say it has never been greatly be- reft, And is much as we knew it to be. The Kaiser still reigns, there are Rus- sians and Danes, The Briton is there on his isle, And the cities, though larger, remain much the same, Though we've all been away quite a while. You may not believe it—not many folks do; It’s rather unflattering. Still They do say the Danube ts fully as blue, And the Jungfrau remains quite a hill. The change isn’t marked. It is Europe— the same. We haven’t been missed, it appears, And one can go weeks without having the name. Of America fall on his ears. To Europe—to Europe— to cure your conceit; You can do it at almost no pains. What man has accomplished, why man can repeat, And here a fellow explains. He started for Europe with bones; He saw it, was cured, and returned, And at that never fasted, slept out on the stones, Or held back where his pride was con- cerned. seventy “Seeing Europe on Sixty Dollars"’ by Wilbur Finley Fauley. (FitzGerald). JOYFUL HEATHERBY. ND so they were married—Joyful A Heatherby of Woodbury Center, on the Massachusetts coast, and Mark Thorn, Boston artist, who came a- sketching and tarried a-wooing. Not, indeed, until the reader of their story las been tantalized with all a novelist’s ‘ingenuity over delays, sorrows and trou- bles which a flesh-and-blood lover would have circumvented with less loss of time because there is no incentive for a flesh- and-blood lover to have more regard for ‘“‘suspended interest’’ than for the consummation of his own happiness. It is easy enough to see from the first tnat these two will marry in the last chapter, even despite the artist’s prior Cevotion to a young woman who merely satisfies his sense of the artistic, and the rough assertion, by a childhood sweetheart, of an antecedent right to Joyful’s Heathérby’s hand. Joyful Heatherby, as Payne Erskine paints her, ig sweetly unsophisticated and innocent, if Ignorance of the worlés wickedness is innocence, but with more strength of character than commonly grows out of that kind of innocence. As an idealized type of country girl, untaught in the ways of the world, whose innocence, or ignorance, leads her into strange ad- ventures when she fares forth to make ter own way, she amply meets the re- quirements of thé younger set of ro- mance readers and the book will be found right entertaining as well by those who would rather have their heroines a little more human. There is a subsidiary love story, which is likewise interrupted by misunderstanding, but ends as hap- pily as anyone could wish. (Little- Brown.) “CONCERNING SALLY.” HE author of this story, William . John Hopkins, has written other works, some of them dealing, as does this, with dwellers along the sea- coast. Sally is introduced to the reader as, a girl of 10 years old, daughter of a professor in a New England college, who in selfish devotion to his own interests and the imperious demands of a tyran- nous vice, neglects to care and suitably provide for the needs of his family, re- ducing his wife, a rather colorless per- son, to a condition of invalidism that threatened her life. At a fortunate mo- nent for them he thinks it necessary to lisappear, they making no effort to dis- ‘over his whereabouts. The wife is tenderly cared for by

Sally and her younger brother, Charlie, find a wel- come in the home of relatives at Whit- by, a seaport town 4t no great distance from Boston. From this time on Whitby is the scene of the main incidents of the story and of persons figuring in them. Sally grows into a forceful, self-reliant womanhood, while the brother, of dif- ferent natural disposition, and under less favorable conditions, falls a victim to the vice that ruined his father. The interest of the story is well sus- tained, steadily growing, indeed, through its nearly four hundred pages, the per- sons constituting Sally’s -environment being well characterized and developing naturally.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE From Smoke Abaters. fe the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, This organization desires to extend to you its cordial thanks for the assistance rendered by the Post-Dispatch in regard to the smoke or- dinance—which we feel was largely instrumental in helping its passage through the House. Yours very truly, M. AMES CUSHMAN, Cor. Secy., Women's Organization for Smoke Abatement in St. Louis, 484 Lake avenue. A Roast for Roland. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Judge O'Neill Ryan and others do not let your angry passions rise at the preposterous opinions o7 Mr. Roland Usher. German annexation, indeed! Did‘ Prof. Usher ever read Kipling’s “Soldiers Three?” Let Gerrhany lay her hand on Ireland, either bond or free, and it will be soldiers three, England, Ireland and Scotland will stand back to back against any European power. After all, it’s a family fight. It’s English and Irish democracy against English and Irish pluto- cCracy, and if Germany interferes, we all know what happened the cat when she put her paw in the eel pot. We also know what an English admiral said when he stood by at Manila, and we know when the Raleigh, commanded by Capt. Coghfan, steamed into Subig Bay “the Irene she Sailed, ‘she sailed away at break of day.” As for Miss Florence Hayward, traveler and club woman. It is to laugh. Some Britons spend three weeks in New York and write a book about the United States; some Americans spend a month in Ireland and come home to astonish the Irish. She quotes Sir Horace Plunket. I know the Plun- kets, ought to; my great grandmother belonged to the tribe. Harry is a sort of forty-first cousin. The Plunkets have had their fore feet in the polit- ical trough for many a generation and hate to let go the swill. There’s more like them. Dunsany oan write some pretty verses but a prophet, nein. O’Neill Ryan, let Florence and Roland alone and they’ll come home with all their tales behind them. As for German annexation, a professor of history ought to know something about the blood of the British Isles for Gael of Scotland, Irish kerne, Devon, overlord at sea, ‘Northern dalesman, Celt of Wales, Brothers of one blood are we. MARGARET 8S. COGHLAN. Taxpayers’ Rebate. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ‘Unjust’ in yours of Jan. 22 finds exception to rebate granted taxpayers anticipating the pay- ment of taxes. HM he will investigate he will ascertain that said rebates approximate the equal of about.the rate of 5% per cent per annum. S. J. RB. By the Same Right. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. -- I notice that Owen Miller of the Musicians’ Union, In a letter to the editor, asks: “By what right, under the Constitution, do leg- islators presume to say that on one particular day of the week any person shall be deprived of the opportunity of supplying his needs?” By the same right, no doubt, that legislators Say a man shall work no more than a certain number of hours each day, or that several kinds of work for the State shall be performed only by union labor. Is it clear now? H. T. SEAT-FOR-EACH-PASSENGER LEAGUE . 8. F. E. P. Suggestions. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, I would suggest, in reference to your S F. E. P. League, that no candidate be admitted to the league who has the nerve to recall the days of the horse car in St. Louis and how “we bad to unload at intervals to help put the car back on the track, feet in the straw, winter travel, etc.” Also that no candidate be admitted who is simple enough to swallow that bunk advertised by the UWnited Railways about “latest improve- ments,” etc. Further, that a publicity or press agent be employed by the league, who will edu- cate our dear, peaceful citizens in how to get at least a part of what is due them. He might start with Chicago for example and tell how that city gets 55 per cent of the net earnings of their surface roads and how the 55 per cent now equals an accumulation of §7,- 000,000 which the city has on deposit drawing in- terest against the time they dig their subway and how this was brought about by the City Council, a body of gentlemen drawing $3500 a year from the city for their services, besides having the city’s interests at heart. Also how this City Council, of a high order, was brought about through the efforts of the Municipal Voters’ League, a body of business men who have the broader vision and enough nerve to start some- thing. A CITIZEN. ‘‘Y Wanna Sit Down.’’ To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Tell the members of your new and deservedly popular 8. F. EB. P. League to move forward, please, and let me in. I, too, am tired of being “strapped” by the U. R. I wanna sit down. PARKVIEW. A ‘‘Ouss’’ Avenue Complaint. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Please enroll me in the 8S. F. E. P. Club I live on the Cass avenue line, which during the morn- ing and evening rush hours is known to its pa- trons as the “cuss” avenue line on account of the narrow aisles and crowded cars. The “please move forward” of the conductor would be a bit of pleasantry if it were not for the fact that there are sO many women and girls jammed in the aisles, making it almost impossible for a man to move up front without jostling. Try to do some- thing with transit officials and oblige. McESS. Sins Come Home to Boost. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Every’ wrong brings its own punishment, and the sins of the Transit company will come home to roost. The outrageous overcrowding of the cars will be remembered by the referendum when there comes a vote on new franchises or exten- sion of privileges. ad Put me on the roll as a member of your “Seat for Every Passenger Club.” G. McSCANNELL Standing for Fun Don’t Count. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. it’s funny how men will kick when they have to stand 20 to 30 minutes on the street car, but they never think of the hours they stand in front of the drug store or @ saloon, sometimes on only one foot. A CITIZEN. Good and Bad Service. To the Bditor of the Post-Dispatch. The street car system and service in St. Louis is admirable in most respects. It would be al- most ideal if the management would remedy a few of its faults, and'it is surprising that Capt. McCulloch does not bring about a better condi- tion during the rush hours. Those of us who ex- perienced the abuses of the former management during and after the strike period fully appreci- ate the difference. Capt. McCulloch has accom- plished a great deal and really seems so desirous of winning public favor that it is surprising te gee such a conditon as exists mornings and ev- enings.. : | Why not ask the Captain to be the guest of the Post-Dispatch some day and then show him how

BLIND MEN OF USEFULNESS. From Answers. The most famous blind man is un- doubtedly Sir Francis J. Campbell, LL D., F. R. G, S., F. 8S. A, ete. prin- cipal of the Royal Academy of Music for the Blind at Upper Norwood, Lon- don. This grand old man is the only blind person who has ascended Mt. Blanc, ang he is familiar with all the Alpine peaks, Sir Francis, who will shortly celebrate his eightieth birth- day, was 4 years old when he lost his sight. Capt. F. Peirson-Webber, County Adviser and lecturer in poultry cul- ture to Warwickshire and Northants, furnishes a typical instance of how a soldier's doggedness will prevail. Owing to sunstroke he lost his eye- sight whilst serving his colors in India, but atferward turned his at- tention to poultry farming. Today he says: “Give me a piece of land with two square yards per bird, and at the end of one vear you shall have 3000 eggs from :_ hens.” Taking a fowl in his hand, he de- cides its variety according to the number of its toes, shape of its comb and body, and other peculiarities, By tasting any grain or poultry food, he is able to tell the difference between good and bad; whilst eggs are tested for their freshness by means of “-water—i. e. whether the eggs float or sink. -" PRONOUNOCING GOETHALS’ Frem the Rochester Express. I don’t know whether Mr. Goethals, of Panama canal fame, is a Belgian or not. If he is not, he ought to be, because Belgium ia full of Goethalses.- That name is common in my native town and province. No need, thus, of consulting the German language to keep in the right track for the pronunciation of that name. Cut it into two syllables, namely, Goet and hals. Now, make goet sound as hoot In to hoot; suppress the sound of h in hals and say als with the sound of the a as in the word father. Be sure to put fully the accent upon the first syllable and let the whole word go as gootals.

British Musical Bump. From the London Telegraph. Two well-known men about town, sit- one, “Can you tell me if the tune that man is singing is ‘Home, Sweet Home’ or ‘Rule, Britannia?” ’’ The other could not say for certain, so an appeal was made to a waiter to make inquiries, aft- er a bet had been suggested between er returned, with the remark that “no one was singing; the man was awkin’ ’errin’s!"’

Government Sick Benefits. From the New York Press. It will cost England at least £22,500,- 000 a year at the outset to put into ef- fect the workers’ sick benefit insurance act, but the prospect is that this latest product of the philanthropic program of Chancellor Lloyd-George will return that sum twice over in improved working capacity and industrial output.

High Cest ef Dying. From the New York American. And now without preamble somes the secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Embalming and declares that fashion in funerals is one of the causes for the high cost of living. “Just as in weddings and receptions,” he says, “there is also an excessive style put on

Written for the Post-Dispatch by Clark McAdams. .THE GIRLS. ] “Don’t marry till you’re thirty,” Said the matron to the girls; “Don’t cast your young attractions Where they’ll fall like wasted pearls, Don’t marry .till you’re thirty— "Tis the young. love soonest fades.” “We fear it isn’t likely,” Sighed the gentle Boston maids. —Cleveland Plain Dealer. “Dont marry till you're thirty,” Said the matron to the’ girls; But the Denver giris just giggled, As they shook their lustrous curls; “Do not marry till we’re thirty? Why from offers of all grades, We can marry twice by that time,” Cried the much-sought Denver maids. —Denver Republican. ‘Don’t marry till you're thirty,” Said the matron to the girls; ‘*‘Don’t jump out of the cradle After marquises and earls. Go slow like Helen Gould did In choosing from the men.” “But we have no railroads,” said the girls, “To catch somebody then.” Kitty’s Questioning. A new family had moved into the house next door to ‘the Smiths, according to a story told by Postmaster-General Hitchcock, and little Kitty Smith was on the back porch of her own home cultivating the acquaintance of the little girl on the oppo- site porch. ‘What's your name?’’ she asked. “Florence,’’ replied the newcomer. “What's yours ?’’ ‘‘Katherine,’’ was the answer, ‘but they always call me Kitty. The name of the folks that used to live here before you came was Jones.’’ “Our name is Thompson,’’ sald the new girl. ‘“‘We came all the way from Balti mcre.’’ “Our name is Smith.’’ returned Kitty. “Say. you never met the Joneses, did you?’’ “Oh, no,” rejoined the new girl. ‘Not your Joneses.’’ ‘They was just something awful for bor- rowing,’’ volunteered Kitty. ‘They used to send over to our house three or four ) times @ week to borrow coffee, sugar and things, and never paid’ it back. Say, you don’t borrow like that, do you?’’ “Oh, no,”’ was the reassuring response ‘She says they don’t, mamma!”’ called out Kitty, turning around and facing the half-apen door of the Smith home.—Phila- Celphia Tejegraph.

But there was not a ki-yl. At the next step, Ozark, the news agent and C. H. Blarney of Paducah, Ky., the conductor, took a look at the trucks.

HE servants of the Hotel Salis- bury (which is so called be- cause it is situated on Broad- way and conducted on the American plan by a man named Riggs), had agreed upon a date for their . annual ball and volunteer concert, and had announced that it would eclipse ev- ery other annual bal! in the history of the hotel. As the Hotel Salisbury had been only two years in existence, this was not an idle boast, and it had the effect of inducing many people to buy the tickets, which sold at a dollar apiece, and were good for “one gent and lady,’’ and entitled the bearer to a hat-check without extra charge. In the flutter of preparation all ranks were temporarily leveled, and _ social barriers taken down with the mutual consent of those separated by them; the night-clerk so far unbent as to person- ally request the colored hall-boy, Num- ber Bight, to play a banjo solo at the concert, which was to fill in the pauses between the dances, and the chamber- maids timidly consulted with the lady telegraph operator and the lady in charge of the telephone, as to whether or not they intended to wear hats. And so every employe on every floor of the hotel was working individually for the success of the ball, from the engineers in charge of the electric light plant in the cellar, to the night-watch- man on the ninth story, and the eleva- tor boys who belonged to no floor in particular.

West, who played the part opposite to hers in the Gilbert and - Sullivan Opera that was then in the third month of its New York run, were among the honored patrons of the Ho- tel Salisbury. Miss Terrell, in her utter inability to adjust the American coinage to English standards, and also in the kindness of her heart, had given too generous tips to all of the hotel waiters, and some of this money had passed into the gallery window of the Broadway Theater, where the hotel waiters had heard her sing and seen her dance, and | had failed to recognize her young hus- band in the Lord Chancellor’s wig and black silk court dress. So they knew that she was a celebrated personage, and they urged the maitre d’hotel to in- vite her to take a part in their volun- teer concert. Paul, the head waiter, or ‘“Pierrot,’’ as Grahame West called him, because it was. shorter, as he explained, hovered over the two young English people one night at supper, and served them lav- ishly with his own hands. “Miss. Terrell,” said Paul nervously— “I beg pardon, Madam, Mrs. Grahame West, I should say—I would like to make an invitation to you.” Celestine looked at her husband in- quiringly, and bowed her head for Paul to continue. “The employes of ‘the Salisbury give the annual ball and concert on the six- teenth of December, and the committee have inquired and: requested of me, on account of your kindness, to ask you would you be so polite as to sing a little song for us at the night of our ball?” The head waiter drew a long breath and straightened himself with a sense of relief at having done his part, whether the Grahame Wests did theirs or not. As a rule, Miss Terrell did not sing in private, and had only broken this rule twice, when the inducements which led her to do so were $200 for each per- formance, and the fact that her beloved . Princess of Wales.was to be present. So she hesitated for an instant. “Why, you are very good,” she said, doubtfully. ‘Will there he any other people there—anyone not an employe, I RICHARD HARDING DAVIS. Forty-second Street Station along the line of the Sixth Avenue Elevated road, and you can look into its windows from the passing train. It was after 1 o’clock when the invited guests and their friends pushed open the storm doors and were recognized by the anxious committee- men who were taking tickets at the top of the stairs. The committeemen fled in different directions, shouting for Mr. Paul, and Mr. Paul arrived beaming with delight and moisture, and present- ed a huge bouquet to Mrs. West, and welcomed her friends. with hospitable warmth. “I am going to dance,” said Van Bibber, “if Mr. Pierrot will present me to one of the ladies.”’ Paul introduced him to a lady in a white cheese-cloth dress and black walking shoes, with whom no one else would dance, and the musicians struck up “The Band Played On,” and they launched out upon a slippery floor. Van Bibber was conscious that his friends were applauding him in dumb show from the balcony, and when his partner asked who they were, he re- pudiated them altogether, and said he could not imagine, but that he guessed from their bad manners they were pro- fessional entertainers hired for the evening. The music stopped abruptly, and as he saw Mrs. West leaving the balcony, he knew that his turn had come, and as she passed him he applauded her vo- ciferously, and as no one else ap- plauded even slightly, she grew very red. Her friends knew that they formed the audience which she dreaded, and she knew that they were rejoicing in her embarrassment, which the head 2f duwnstairs department, as Mr. Paul de- scribed him, increased to an hysterical point by introducing her as ‘‘Miss Ellen Terry, the great Hinglish actress, who weuld now oblige with a song.” The man had seen the name of the wonderful English actress on the Dill- boards in front of Abbey’s Theater, and he had been told that Miss Terrel/ was English, and confused the two names. As he passed Van Bibber he drew his waistcoat into shape with a proud shrug of his shoulders, and said, anxiously, ‘‘I gave your friend a gooé introduction, anyway, didn’t I?” “You did indeed,’’ Van Bibber an- swered, “‘You couldn’t have surprised her more; and it made a great hit with me, too,” No one in the room listened to the singing. The gentlemen had crossed their legs comfortably and were ex- pressing their regret to their partners Miss Hildegarde Walton, the daugiiter of beauty quacks have brought the business raw t ELECTRIC NEEDLE TREATMENT r= = ee > Astounding Record of Casesin Which Wom- en Have Actually Risked Death in the Mad Desire to Gain New Charm of Face. HE recent death from mercurial poisoning of a young Greek girl who had taken bichloride of mer- cury in small doses to improve her complexion has again started prose- cutions of the trail of quack beauty doc- tors. The death and damage wreaked every year by this class of illegal prac- titioners is beyond computation. It is only in particularly aggravated cases | that the attention of the world is called to it. The average woman, having made a tragic fool of herself, is willing to Keep silent. Occasionally, though, as in the recent instance, the searcher after beauty dies; then the world takes no- tice. There are between 1500 and 2000 self- styled “‘beauty doctors’’ in New York. Their clientele reaches into the hun- dreds of thousands. Yet, according to the records of the medical association, there are not more than a half-dozen physicians in the city who specialize solely in dermatology, nor more than ® who include it in their general practice. The surgical end of beauty work is done by yet another branch of the profes- sion, usually the nose, ear and throat epecialists. There are, perhaps, 15 of them who have made a special study of so-called ‘‘decorative surgery.” This is due to a number of causes, chief of which is the reluctance of the everage physician to become known, 6éven unjustly, as a “beauty specialist.” The result is that the work of making women beautiful has fallen into the hands of the quacks. Sometimes their victims escape unharmed and sometimes vith comparatively negligible’ injuries. Quite often, though, the effects are either lasting and irreparable scars, or, in extreme cases, death. negligible injuries. Quite cases, death. is a most common operation. The for- mula of the preparation used for that] purpose is well known to the medical profession. The skin is painted with a light solution and the peeling process occurs very slowly. The result is not always the complete transformation that people imagine, but, as a rule, the appearance is much improved. Is it painful? Well, about as painful as sun- burn; perhaps a little more so. The outer layer of skin simply peels off; the inner layer takes its place. Properly done, the operation cannot be danger- ous. Improperly done, it may be in- tensely painful and be followed by any- thing from blood poisoning ‘to perma- nent disfigurement. OME years ago, when I was as- sisting in a clinic located not far from one of the biggest quack beauty institutions in the country, we were visited by a constant stream of dis- illusioned patients who had suffered at the hands of the unscrupulous men in charge. A woman who had worked in this establishment told me that her orders were to get $10 out of each pa- tient. It didn’t make much difference how she got it; if the patient had the money, it was her business to sepa- rate him from it. After that, he could go his way. He had bought immunity. Sometimes the victims of this system were suffering from violent skin erup- tions, produced either by harmful facial lotions, or, as we found in many cases, certain scalp ‘remedies,’ which dripping dewn over the delicate skin of the face had started a dangerous ir- ritation. “Much of the practice of the derma- tological specialist consists in undoing the harm which has been done by the quacks. I have seen may cases of ir- reparable facial blemishes from an elec- tric needle in the hands of an unskilled operator. Electric needles, as nearly everyone knows, are used for the re- moval of superfluous hair. They re- quire the most delicate and skillful manipulation. A slip of the instrument at any time may result in permanent disfigurement. The needle may pierce too deep and set up an inflammation which, unless treated immediately, will result in blood poisoning and the prob- able development of an unsightly and ineradicable scar. Yet, all over New York, men and women without an hour of scientific training, are using the elec- tric needles as a regular part of their ‘teauty treatment.’ “Horrible damage has been inflicted by the use of X-rays in this same manner. It was discovered some years ago that X-rays, by killing the roots OT many months ago a woman named Mrs. Laura Williams died suddenly while under the treatment of @ negro ‘‘beauty doctor’ named Mamie e6 Royster. The “doctor” had painted Mrs. Williams’ face with an irritant. The ir- ritant was to have been followed by a mask; the mask, after two or three days, was to have been removed; and Mrs. Williams -was to have dawned anew upon the world with features shorn of wrinkles and the complexion of a baby. She died from pain. The torture of the irritant affected her heart and produced almost instant death. At- tempts to find the negro woman failed. That chapter of the ‘beauty doctor’ tusiness was closed. Parallel cases are many. Last summer Albert T. Patrick’s brother-in-law suc- cumbed to complexion wafers. The wafers contained arsenic in large quan- tities. On April 27, 1912, Mrs. Nina M. Clampit of Chicago, filed suit against two doctors who, she said, had wrought $50,000 worth of damages on her cheeks. They had injected paraffin to fill out some hollows; the paraffin had hard- ened; and Mrs. Clampit had an unsightly lump in either cheek. Cases where the application of an erosive acid for “peel- ing’’ has resulted in permanent disfig- urement are many. The use of X-rays for the removal of hair has often had similar consequences. Altogether, the of removing facial blemishes into such disrepute that the average woman will hesitate a long time before she even thinks of consulting a genuine facial surgeon or dermatologist. The operation, for instance, which, performed by an unskilled negro wom- an, caused the death of Mrs. Laura Williams, is safe and beneficial in ex- perienced hands. It is known as “‘face- peeling,”’ and occupies a chapter in Dr, William 8S. Gottheil’s treatise on dermatology. “Perfectly harmless,"’ said Dr. theil, when the treatment was men- Got- STORURD FOS BE The work of making women beautiful has fallen in- to the hands of the quacks. Sometimes their victims escape unharmed and sometimes with comparatively often, though, the effects are either lasting and irreparable scars, or, in extreme to X-ray treatment at the hands of some ‘beauty doctor,’ have emerged with disfigurements which they will carry to the grave. “There is no more delicate organ than the skin; yet it is a remarkable facc that women who, if they had a sore throat, would call in a skilled special- ist, will confidently entrust this most rensitive and important of organs to the mercies of the incompetent and the faker. Any doctor can t@il you that the destruction of one-seventh of the body’s covering means certain death. The reasons are still in dispute, but the fact is certain. You may live with half a lung or half a liver, but the mement you lose just one-seventh of your skin, your death is as assured as though you had blown your brains out. If all women knew this, perhaps they would be more careful about whom they allow to sit in judgment on their com- plexions. oA BAD complexion may result from any one of a thousand things. Your ‘beauty doctor’ has just three rem- sdies—massage, makeup and face-peel- ing. The first can do little harm and much good; the second can do no good and much harm; the third, as I ex- plained a while ago, can produce, in the hands of an inexperienced and untrained operator, the most frightful conse- quences. And, in this connection, let me riention another dangerous panacea of the ‘beauty doctors’—the injection of paraffin. Now, in the hands of a man who knows how to handle it, paraffin may have temporary results of a harm- less and beneficial nature. I recommend it occasionally myself, and, while I am convinced that its beautifying effects last for no considerable length of time, I am also certain that, in the proper hands, it {s harmless. It is employed for the filling out of saggy cheeks and similar facial defects. It does this. Whether or not the results are perma- nent is still a partly disputed question. My personal experience is that two years is about as long as the average paraffin injection can be relied upon to produce the effect desired. At the end vf that time the tissues begin to absorb it; this, despite the fact that paraffin is one of the least readily absorbed sub- stances known to chemistry. “Injected by an incompetent, paraffin ray harden until it has to be removed by an operation. I recall one case in which a ‘beauty doctor’ injected paraffin in a patient’s cheek and it reappeared in an unsightly lump on the side of her nose. The operation which followed left a scar which will cling to the victim through life. “Of course, ‘beauty doctors’ may be divided into two classes. There are & sreat many who, while they do no par- licular good, are equally careful not to do any harm. I know of one woman, for instance, who has the patronage of many persons in the so-called smart set. Her business must bring her in $25,000 a year. It is a triumph, though, of per- sonality rather than skill. She bullies her clientele so effectually that they are certain she possesses some mysteri- ous power. As a matter of fact, her only distinguishing gift is an ability to put on makeup in a plausible manner. A woman comes in for a massage. She gets it, but she likewise gets some cos- metics. They make her look so much younger that she is certain the massage bas done her incalculable good. That is the secret of madame’s success.”’ T. writes: “A girl says she loves e me and I have heen taking her home right along.

Celestine was conscious of the fact that her husband and Lester were hanging far over the balcony, holding their hands to their eyes as though they were opera-glasses, and exclaiming with admiration and delight; and when she had finished the first verse, they pretended to think that the song was over, and shouted, “Bravo, encore,” ——a? “Do you he said at last, apologetically. know who she is?’ His partner had observed his interest with increasing disapproval, and she had been taught her by @ professor of dancing at some East Side academy, at the rate of 50 cents per hour, and which she no doubt believed was the latest - @ bouquet for madame, also,”’ he added grandly, as one who was not to be denied the etiquette to which he plainly showed he was used. _ “Will we come?’ cried Van Bibber, incredulously, as he and Travers sat watching Grahame make up in his dressing room. “I should say we would come, And you must all take supper with us first, and we will get Letty Chamberlain from the Galety Company and Lester to come, too, and make them each do a turn.” “And we can dance on the floor our- selves, can't we?” asked Grakame West, “as they do at home Christmas _@ve in the servants’ hall, when her ladyship dances in the same set with _ the butler and the men waltz with the here,” said Van Bibber, and applauded frantically, and then ap- parently overcome with confusion at their mistake, sank back entirely from sight. “T think Miss Terrell’s an elegant singer,"”’ Van Bibber’s partner said tv him. “I seen her at the hotel fre- quently.

She acts as though she were shy. don’t she?’’ Van Bibber, who had spent a month on the Thames the summer before with the Grahame Wests, surveyed Celestine with sudden interest, as though he had never seer@her before until that moment, and agreed that she did look shy, one might almost say frightened to death. Mrs. West rushed through the second verse of the song, bowed breathlessly, and ran down the steps of the stage and back to the refuge of the balcony, while the audience applauded with per- functery politeness and called clam- orously to the musicians to “Let her go!” he ge that is the song” commented Bibber, “that gets six encores and M ee calls every night on Broadway!” Grahame West affected te be greatly chagrined at his wife's failure to charm the chambermald’s and porters’ with her and when his turn came comic that you'd die of laughing. step danced in the gilded halls of the Few Hundred.

They varied this when it pleased them with balancings and steps and posturings that were not sufficiently extravagant to bring any comment from the other dancers, but which were so full of grace and feeling for time and rhythm, that Van Bibber, continually reversed his partner so that he might not for an instant lose sight of the girl with the auburn hair. “She ig a very remarkable dancer,” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. . the Kind You Have Always Bought ears, and except the evil: ones in the gallery no one laughed and no one listened, and Lester declared, with tears in his eyes, that he would not go through such an ordeal for the receipts of an actors’ benefit fund.
