New Charge Against RolIer-Skating

A stylish-dressed young lady, whose
features were concealed by a thick veil,
entered the downtown Office of a
prominent physician yesterday after
noon and, with some show of nervous
ness, requested an audience with him.
The doctor led the way into his private
Office, and the fair patient removed her
veil, remarking as she did so, II wish
yon would tell me what is the matter
with my face
In the dimly-lighted room the physi-
clan was unable to discover that any
thing was wrong. Stepping to the
window the lady said, pointing to the
roguish dimples that Nature has placed
on cheeks and chin and the little creas-
es about the corners of her eyes: .'Do
you see thatP My face looks as though
l had been working in a coal-mine. ~
Closer inspection showed the physician
that the dimples and creases as well as
the larger pores in the lady's face were
filled with dark, grimy substance. II
have scrubbed and worked at that un-
til am tired, but cannot remove it. ]
am satisfied it is not dirt" she con-
tinued, evidently judging from the
physicians look that he was about to
tell her to take bath.
IL understand, remarked the doc
tor, with smile; ''the roller-rink
again"
What do you mean?' she asked in a
troubled tone.
Nothing but roller-rink dust. That
is all. 1t is nothing serious. Try soap
and water again and use this solution
before retiring at night, and your COM
plexion will be all right again"
CO. l am SO glad" the lady re-
marked, as she adjusted her veil and
departed.
THAT is the latest feature of the roll
er-skating craze" remarked the ply
sician to reporter who had overheard
the cony Crsation with some amusement.
That is the second lady who has been
to see me with similar complaint
within a week"
what is the cause of it?"
why, you see, the dust that rises
from the floor of the rink is very fine
aud penetrating, and when it settles
on the skin, dampened with perspira-
ton, it at once finds it way into the
pores. " Cleveland Leader.

One Meal a Day.

just now when perhaps the cheapen.
ing of living is of more Importance,
temporarily at least, than the most
finished craftsmanship, the example of
a man up in Massachusetts who had
been subsisting and performing the
average work that farmers in the rocky
soil of the Bay State usually perform,
on one meal per diem, may be regarded
as an interesting exhibit. if not exam
pie, of what may be accomplished in
dieto-economics. As he is said TO bear
himself with un-Yankeelike slowness
at table, the probability is that the
weight OF food consumed does not
amount to more than that furnished TO
and carried away in dyspeptic shape
by the average individual at the thirty
minutes-for refreshment railroad sta
tions. Yet it is within the possibility
that a man who has evidently devoted
SO considerable attention to dietary
affairs may have so systematized the
habit and necessity as to have built out
of them science and art, in which case
it is not beyond belief that he has
demonstrated that in eating, or in
many other things, the truth of the
adage ''the more haste the less speed"
holds pre-eminently true. However, as
to the quality it is fair to believe that
it is not SO large by one-half as what
he would have eaten had he continued
thrice-meal-a-day man. His theory
was at the outstart that man consumed
more food than necessary, and really
more than is conducive to health, and
he seems to have proven this.-Pitts-

Manager Fisher received telegram this
morning from the manager OF the Louisville
club, stating that the club would be unable
TO reach here in time to play, owing to two
or ,hrce OF their players being indisposed,
and also on account OF the bad running time
of trains. This was great disappointment to
the home club and also to the base ball public
who had lookel forward to this game with
more than usual interest on account Of Baker
and Cross being with the Louisvilles.
The first championship game OF the season

Webster's Eyes,

Mr.. Allen, in his article on Daniel
Webster in the last Century, writes a
correspondent to The Boston Advertiser,
mentions his "great, soft eyes," as be-
ing peculiarly attractive to children.
This reminds me of an incident which
may perhaps show that those eyes had
sometimes diderent effect. Mr. Web
ster wa' once spending the summer in a
town near Boston, and, as was his Gus
tom, attended church regularly, both
morning and afternoon. On one occa-
sion 1t fell to the lot Of an uniledy yed
youth to try his wings in that pulpit.
He rose, as was natural, with some
trepidation, to begin the service. This
trepidation gradually increased, till to-
ward the close Of the hymn he faltered
perceptibly, and as he sat down by the
minister Of the parish. he whispered:
Doctor, l don't know to whom those
eyes belong which are directly facing
me, but they are quite too much for
me and | can not preach" Mr.. Web
ster was responsible for an extempor-
aneous discourse that morning.

assistant in our public schools for the past
seven years, during which time every person
in this village has become her friend. On
account of The i'll health Of her mother at

Lord HcrtfOrd AND Lord Stcyne.

The letters of Lord Hertford to Mr..
Croker show him to have been shrewd
man of the world. but they do not in
the least justify the accusations against
Mr.. Croker. Lord Hertford when
Lord Yarmouth was member of the
House of Commons. and it was prob
ably there the intimacy with Mr.. Crok-
er commenced. On Lord Yarmouth's
succession to the title in 1921 appears
the management of the estates was con-
fided to Mr.. Croker. There is the fol-
lowing description of Lord Hertford in
panty Far: 1.-The candles lighted up
Lord Steyne's shining bald head, which
was fringed with red hair. He had
thick bushy eyebrows, with little twink
ling bloodshot eyes, surrounded by
thousand wrinkles. His jaw was un-
derhung, and when he laughed two
white buck teeth protruded themselves
and glsteled savagely in the midst of
the grin. He had been dining with
royal personages and wore his Garter
and ribbon. A stout man was his lord
ship, broad-chested and bowlegged, but
proud of the frmness of his foot and
ankle and always caressing his Garter
knee" Thomas Moore was very Sc
we're on the color of Lord Yarmouth's
hair, but this did not occasion much
uneasiness, for one day as Lord Var
mouth won large stake at cards he
| gathered up the money, exclaiming:
| "And Yarmouth's red whiskers grew
redder with joy" Lord Hertford was
renowned for the fetes with which he
entertained the great world, and for the
magnificent shooting which he gave to
his friends at Sudbourne, in Suffolk,
but at the same time he was anxious to
save sixpence. "One day when he was
out of Parliament he came all the way
from Seymour place to the Admiralty
for frank to his servant in the country.
1t was the depth of Autumn. and there
were no peers or members in town, so
that he was obliged to come to me.
and the object of his letter was to give
orders for the reception of party of
friends which cost him at least $500
here he saved sixpence; and if he had
been tired would have got into hack
ney coach and paid half crown fare
in order to get this said frank" There
is characteristic story told of him.
When the Thistlewood conspirators had
been hanged, somebody who had wit
| messed the execution went to Lord
| Hertford to give an account of the
proceedings; among other things he
mentioned that one of the prisoners
had prayed fervently on the scaffold.
Lord Hertford said: "He dd quite
right to hedge-you should never throw
away chance. y Temple Bar.

Murfree and Charles Egbert Craddock,
while the hostess could not lose the
Iatter from her mind, and compromised
with "Miss Craddock.
Miss Murfree was born at Murfrees-
boro, Tenn, and is the daughter Of a
prominent lawyer. who has written
works regarded as authority in the
courts. Murfreesboro is the location
of the novel, "Where the Battle Was
Fought" and the windows of the
house where the family lived up to two
years ago overlook the battle ground.
Two years ago Mr.. Murfreo moved
with his family to st. Louis, where
they now live. For number of years,
from childhood up, Miss Murfree was
unable to use her feet, but her health
is now much better, and she can get
around with slight assistance. 1t
seems little short of marvellous that
under such circumstances the author
should have been able to gain SO inti-
mate knowledge of the life of the

cessible homes and environment Bos-

And the hours crept YEARLY by,
And the raw east wind from the dismal bay
O'ercloudcd the dull gray sky.
But the summer OF hope shone in his face,
For the boy was brave and young,
And the day crept by at a funeral pace,
And the passing words were rung.
An d the old days went and the new days came,
And thewccks went limpng past;
Old time was spawned eternity lame.
But the end must come ut last.
So wrinkled. and blind and white rs snow,
When lifes long race was run,
He reached the place where he started to go
When his half mile journey begun.
o., woe is the man in Boston town
Who climbs on the cars to ride,
For he'll think that the town, when he getteth
down.
Is four hundred thousand miles wde
