California q Lady Lawyer.

Mrs. ClaraS. Foltz, San Francisco's
lady lawyer has been engaged in lee
turo tour through several of the large
towns and cities of Illinois and Wis
consin, and has achieved marked sue
cess in this comparatively new field.
Mrs. Foltz came too late for engage
ments in the regular lecture courses;
Notwithstanding this drawback she
filed many appointments acceptably,
and has been recalled once and some
times twice wherever she has spoken.
Mrs. Foltz's experience as jury
lawyer and as political speaker in
California and political campaigns
have furnished her preparation for the
lecture platform, and her rare drama
tic talent renders her a wonderfully
forcible and attractive :orator. Her
ability to ''put yourself in his place.
is so striking as to indicate that she
will find her true vocation only on the
stage.
On the Pacific coast Mrs. Foltz' ef-
forts for the advancement of her sex
have been crowded with notable results.
In California and Oregon she has
opened the doors OF law Colleges for
women. In the former State she has
secured the introduction of an amend
ment in the constitution which pro-
vides that mo citizens on account of
sex shall be disqualified from following
any business profession or vocation.
The history of those who have
achieved renoun in the profession by
their own determination and persever-
nee depict many transformation
scenes, but the rapidity with which
such changes have been wrought in
Mrs. Foltz's career are doubtless I'M
paralleled. While acquiring her pro-
fession Mrs: Foltz labored for her own
support and that of her five little chill
dren, considering no work mental that
administered TO her purpose. She
made dresses, took boarders. did any
work necessary to provide for the sup
port of herself and family.
While the capitol of Oregon was
building Mrs. Foltz boarded the work
men who we're laying the foundation.
In less than ten years when the Legis-
lature was in session, Mrs. Foltz en-
tered the hall one day, and was re-
ceived with the most distinguished
hgnors and invited to seat within the
bar:

Oh, mamma, I've heard such charmine now
From the Bobolink down IN tho lane;
He knows many beautiful stories,
And promised to meet me again.
He told me about this rich Golden-R Rod,
And whence came its golden hue;
And I'm sure the bright little gossip
Wouldn't care II should tell you.
he says when dear little Titania Il
w las proclaimed the faires' Queen,
There was such q splendid banquet
As never before was seen. .
And Titania's gorgeous costly robe,
All pulled with fold on fold,

And he tore her beautiful court train
With the point of his diamond spur.

in the hospitals, tending tie sick, COM
forting the dying, turning from no du-
ty, however repulsive. In gratitude
the army voted and subscribed for a
memorial group in which the Queen is
represented in her ambulance dress
rendering drink of water to wound
ed soldier. After the war, Prince
Charles and Princess Elizabeth were
crowned King and Queen of Rouma-
MIA. With the return of peace Carmen
Sylvia devoted herself again with her
old enthusiasm to her music, poetry
and her painting. For her the King
then built lovely retreat among the
Carpathian Mountains. which is called
Castell Pelesch. 1t is situated on the
hills above the monastery of Sinaia, in
one of the valleys opening on the Pra-
hOva.
All round the Castell are the rocks and
gorges which Carmen Sylvia took as the
scenery for her stories, and in little
Forsthaus or hunters lodge ten min
utes away from the chateau, Queen
Elizabeth wrote her stories for her
Roumarian children, while the Castell
was vet being built. The children of
the neighbors are all very fond of the
Queen and the Queen is devoted to
them. In her wanderings they run to
meet her and kiss her hand in greeting.
Once she missed ono of her little
favorites, and sought for her in her par
ent's cottage. She found the child sick
of diphtheritis, and she nursed the little
one until it died in her arms. The
Queen is fond of wandering and sketch
ing in tho mou tains around her pic
turesque home, and may often be seen
on her walks, sometimes clad in the
picturesque dress of the Roumanian
peasant women. She takes great inter-
est in the life of the people dwelling
arond Chateau Sinaia, and has been
known to join with her husband in the
the bora dance which the peasants
give every Sunday afternoon during
the summer months in the neighbor-
ing towns.
Carmen sylvia" spends nearly all
the summer months at Chateau Sinaia.
Her apartments are beautifully decora-
ted with costly pictures and many OF
the most gorgeous fabrics of Eastern
manufacture. and always with pro-
fusion Of flowers, of which she is very
fond. The music=room has beautiful
stained-glass windows, representing
| scenes taken from the poems of the
Roumania national poet, Alexandra.
Sometimes the Queen resorts to this
| room and placing her white hands on
the organ plays or improvises for hours.
In appearance Carmen Sylvia is des-
cribed as tall and slender, walking
with an easy grace and perfect rhythm
Her dazzling teeth and luminous eyes
are at first view the most striking fea-
lures of her countenance; but when she
has spoken, when slight line burrows
her lips. when shade of thoughtful
melancholy sweeps over her broad, fair
forehead, it is not difficult to see that
the woman the mother. has been cruel
" tried, she has suffered with acute
capability for pain of highly strung
natures, and that the lustrous eyes
have more than once been dimmed
with bitter tears, heroically hidden

A Dog Story.

A friend of mine who lived in the
Sierra Madre Mountains had collie
that was an inveterate tree-climber,
and woe to the squirrel that climbed
up trunk that Jack could scale! OF
course, straight trees were out of the
question; but one that grew at an angle
of forty-fve degrees, and had a rough
bark, was quickly mounted by the COL
lie.
This curious habit was the result of
his passion for squirrel-hunting, and

But Pansy filings herself before him

Suddenly turning Martin lays his
hand over hers and looks deep into her
lovely, fearful eyes.

SOME PLAIN TALK.

The New York Independent makes the
following home thrust:
The readiness OF the people to go and
hear such men as Moody, Jones and
Small suggests the failure of our
churches ordinarily to lind the common
people. II Is an old question. Why does
not the church reach the masses? and the
answers are various. This, we may
safely say, that, II the church does not
reach the masses, II Is from lack of en-
terprise. When old methods fail, instead
OF seeking new methods It goes on using
the old ones. II Is the church's business
to apply Christ's teaching TO the new So
cial problems of The day which common
people are interested In. II there Is a
new inhdellty or social philosophy com
Ing up II is the duty of the pulpit to be In
2aste to grasp what Is true IN II, which IL
