Beautiful Women.
IPhiiAdelphia Ru11efin I

Somehow or other, all the famous beautiful
women known in past history and in modern
newspapers have begun or ended with a loss
of reputation. Between Helen and Mr.
Langtry there is long list of Greek, Rog.nan,
Italian, French, German, English and other
women famous as beauties not one Of whom
who deserved particle of the respect due to
a good American girl or raatron who keeps
out of the newspapers. as any woman can do
when she chooses. Lola Montez was a pro-
fessional beauty from Europe who visited
America. Nobody here could discover her
beauty, but it had been worshiped by king
of most ancient lineage. Mrs. Rousby was
an English professional beauty who had
achieved conquests which made her heroine
of the London society journals. But she had
little success in America, where prettier and
better women abound. Her beauty was fatal
to her character, and led her to excess that
killed her at an age when q really beautiful
and good woman ought to be at the stage Of
perfection,

Organisms No. Susceptible to Pain.

Professor J. Rymer Jones is authority for
the statement that crustaceans and certain
other animals are not susceptible to pain
BE says. in paper on this subject: "Pain,
Natures kind harbinger of mischief is only
inflicted for wise and important purposes
either to give warning of the existence of dis
ease. or as a powerful stimulus prompting to
escape from danger. Acute perceptions of
pain could scarcely. therefore. be supposed to
exist in animals deprived of all power of REM
edying the one or of avoiding the other. In
man the power of feeling pain is Individually
placed exclusively in the brain; and if COM
munication be cut off between this organ and
any part of the body, pain is no longer felt,
whatever mutilations may be inflicted. The
perception of pain depends upon the develop
ment of the encephalic masses; and, conse-
quently. that as this part Of tho nervous sys-
tenn becomes more perfect, the power of feeling
painful impressions increases in thes ratio;
or, in other words. that inasmuch as the
strength. activity and intelligence of an ami
NAL, by whichlt can escape from pain, depends
upon the perfection ofits brain, so does the per-
ception of torture depend upon the condition
of the same organ"

my horror the serpent poised its head aloft

A Man Stops Reputation.

Years ago, Illinois was poor, and burdened
with a debt of $7,000,000. A large part of
the Indebtedness had been created in order to
carry out system of internal improvements.
The people, finding it difficult to pay their
taxes talked loudly Of reputation. A con-
vention met at Springfield, the capital of tbs
State, to voice the popular feeling. The re-
pudiating ordinance was prepared. ltwould
have been adopted but for the interference of
one man. The incident is thus described by
the New Orleans Times:
The convention met. and the reputation
ordinance was prepared. 1t was about being
adopted, when Stephen A. Douglas, who was
sick at his hotel, asked to be taken into the
convention. He was carried on a mattress
and, living on his back-for he was too sick to
| sit up-he wrote the following resolution
which he offered as q substitute for the repu-
diation ordinance:
| Resolved, That Illinois will be honest, al
though she never pays cent.
| The resolution took like wildfre. i
touched the honest sentiment of every mem
Der of the convention. 1t was adopted will
| the widest enthusiasm. 1t dealt q death
blow to the Reputation sentiment through
| out the State.
The canal bonds Immediately advanced il
value, and in short time were quoted a
par. kilograms were received from New
| York that Illinois could have all the none,
she wanted.
What was the result? Capital and emf
grafton flowed into the State, and Illinois
to-day one ofthe most prosperous States il
the Union.
She has more miles of railway than any c
the other States. Her broad prairies are on
great grain field, and are dotted with hur
dreds of thousands of peaceful happy homes
Thriving cities and beautiful villages ar
found every where within her borders.
This is what honesty has done for Illinoi

The example of eminent men in the cause
Of humanity can not too frequently be cited
if we would see their great deeds emulated.
The fearful epidemic, yellow fever, prevailed
in Philadelphia in 1913. All who could fed
The horrors of the plague, as described by
Defoe in his narrative of London, were real
lied in this American city. Friends and even
members of the same family abandoned each
other on the approach of danger. The poor
were dragged off to Bush Hill Hospital, where
under panic and malpractice, few ever recov-

arrest and imprison any one sick or we'll,
male or female, coming from Philadelphia or
suspected ofso coming. Massachusetts passed
a similar rigid law In the midst of this ter
rible scourge it was announced that Stephen
Girard, tho wealthiest merchant of Philadel-
phia, had taken charge of Bush Hill Hospital,
whence no one ever returned, and was en-
gagged in shrouding the dying and interring
the dead. He built a new house in the vic
unity of the hospital and rented barn to ac-
commodate the patients who then crowded
Bush Hill for cure. And though Girard had
been declared insane and reported, dead he still
lived and kept well, was soon after found on

A True Tragedy.
Youths Companion1

In an upper room Of dwelling in phila-
delphia, month or two ago, John M,
long known in the West and South as the
great Mississippi gambler, lay dying. He
was the foremost type of class fast becoming
extinct.
In appearance. he was quiet, modest gen.
tleman, unobtrusive. but fastidious in dress
Ms clothes was made for him in London
Tor 20 years), cool stoical as a red Indian, no
matter what the emergency; and his profes-
sion, that of running other men.
The man, it is said, never PLAYED for less
than thousands. He confined his operations
to cards until favorite boat, the Natchez,
ran race with the R. Z. Lee from New Or
leans to st. Louis. He bet all he was worth
on her.
For five days and nights the gambler re-
manned on deck, betraying his excitement in
10 other way. The Natchez was beaten, and
the man was ruined. He went to the bar and
took his first and last glass of liquour.
Ms wife, an innocent country grill
from Ohio, died of broken heart, after a
wretched, shameful life with him. She left
one child, boy, and his boy M sent
away. that he might never know what man.
ner of a man his father was. The lad was
educated in the best school in Europe. But
when the hardened, cold-blooded old man
He found him a practicing physician, told
him his story, and was nursed by him until
his death. But the gambler neither repented
nor altered. Even when the death-rattle was
in his throat, he cried, II lay you five to one
that last until morning"
A similar story was told in the reports OF
the New York police courts lately. A lady,
young, well bred and modest, the wife of an
officer in the army, complained to the police
of drunken, disreputable woman, who hung
about her house, watching it.
The woman was arrested Brought face to
face with the complainant, she cried out in
agony:
why, child, l am your m0therp'
The lady, greatly agitated, stated that il
might be true. Her mother, she said, had
placed her in a private school when she was
an infant, and supported her until her mar
riage, but had always refused to see her.

A Husband and Wife Arrested for kissing.
INT

lOnicago lnter-Ocean.
The New York police are remarkable for
the facility with which they adopt theories,
and this one ofaffection and matrimony be-
ing incompatible meets with their approval.
Consequently when on certain evening a
Central park policeman saw young looking
couple wandering through the arbors Of wis
terra and the willow groves, apparently in
confidential conversation, he kept his eagle
eye upon them. Soon he saw manly arm
steal around slender waist, little later q
feminine head bowed down upon mascu-
line shoulder, and next-cold chills be-
numbed the circulation of the guardian of the
peace-two mouths made "red cherries on a
stalk Rudely and wrathfully did the goblin
in gray descend upon the touching tableau,
and walked the dramatis persona off to the
station house. In vain the woman wept,
and the man swore by all that was holy,
that they 'were husband and wife, and that
there "wasna wrang in kissin'." They were
told to keep that "taffy" to themselves, and
not try and cheat a policeman. Both the
people were we'll dressed and well appearing.
The lady seemed terribly mortified, and, at
last after long arguing, the gentleman sue
ceeded in getting permission to telegraph to
his friends. This the officer said would cost
two dollars, 20 cents for the message, and the
remainder to suppress the matter in the
newspapers. The couple spent the night in
the station. Early in the morning their
friends came to the rescue, and they were
found to be highly respectable people-Mr
and Mrs. Cottier. The judge at once ordered
their release, and offered if they would bring
suit against the man, to testify in their be-
half. When asked why he supposed them
to be unmarried, the policeman gloomily re.
sponded that he had never seen married
couple kiss each other in the park before.

Pretty Much So.
tDesroit Rrea prass

A few days ago Justice of the Peace John
Weber took his little son down to Toledo on
an excursion. The lad interviewed the man
at the Wheel and gathered much information
relative to the business of steamboating.
Presently his father Joined him on the hur-
ricane deck and asked him how he was en-
joying himself, "First rate" was the enthusi-
astic reply. "Tm going to be a steamboat
man, papa. "All right" respoded the
"judge," "but you'll have to study navigation,
astronomy, and divers other sciences in or
der to be a good one" The lad said nothing
at the time, but appeared to be revolving
the difficulties of the case in his mind
Perhaps half an hour later he remarked
with much gravity, Papa, / guess won't
be steamboatman; I'd rather be q justice Of
the peace; you don't have to know anything
for that
