"When a woman won't she won't, and
there's an end on it," but few girls,
pretty girls, girls with rich parents, we'll
educated and refined, would prefer to
wait on guests in public dining room,
than to marry a rich man, even if he
was old and ugly.
Miss Dora Elliott is a remarkably
pretty brunette, who for several months
has been waiter girl in a well-known
dining room in this city. She has by
her manner shown that she was very
well educated, and evidently not brought
up to such work. Inquiries recently re-
ceived at a detective office here, how
ever, have resulted in bringing her into
considerable prominence, and brought
out a peculiar story OF woman's force of
will.
Dora Elliott lived in San Diego with
her parents in handsome home, and
was petted and well treated, until an
old friend of her fathers, merchant
over 30 years of age, and as ugly as a
mud fat and very rich, fell in love with
her. Her parents were delighted, and
insisted that Dora should marry him at
once. She refused they insisted. She
swore she would never marry him, and
determined to make such thing impos-
sible. She had a friend, a chivalrous,
foolish young man named Rogers; his
first name is said to be George. She
told Rogers ner story, and she asked
him to marry her formally, and so make
it absolutely impossible for her to wed
In )ala Il
love with her anyway, and at once con-
sented. The license was quietly obtained,
and early one morning Dora became
honeymoon, however, for the bride in
sisted on saying goodbye to her hus-
band at once, and managing to get some
of her clothes out of her house, she
took the afternoon train for this city,
sought employment, found that all she
could get TO do was to wait on table, and
has since made her living that way
Her parents were heartbroken over
her disappearance, and when Rogers in
his sorrow at losing his bride before she
was really his wife, went to them and
told what had happened, there was a
fresh storm. However, her parents
wanted her back, and so did Rogers,
and they employed detectives to ascer-
tain her whereabouts. This has only
recently been done, and the father and
mother and husband of day are ex-
pected to arrive any day, to attempt to
induce the wilful beauty to go back with
them. She is of age, however, and does
not appear to be at all unhappy or de-
sirous OF giving up her Independent
way OF living.
Ii she won't, why, tits sure she won't.

DRUGGED BAKING POWDERS.
How the Presence OF Ammonia in q Powde
May BE Detected.

How the Presence Of Ammonia in q Powder
May He Detected.
From the United Service Magazine, Sept 4, 1900.
Ammonia and alum are the most common
adulterants used in the manufacture of baking
powders. The government report shows that
a large percentage Of the baking powders on
the market contain either one or the other or
both these pernicious drugs. Ammonia par
tlcularlv is in very general use. So great has
the demand for it increased with the increased
use OF baking powders that an ammonia trust
has been formed and the price of the drug has
gone up. Such baking powder companies AZ
are not shareholders in the trust company have
suffered material decrease in profits ~ = con-
sequence.
This Wholesale use in an article of daily food
OF one OF the most insidious and injurious poi
cons is simply criminal Slow ammonia poi
soning produces diseases of the stomach and ia
particularly injurious to the complexion. The
presence Of ammonia in baking powder. how
ever. can be very easily detected. Mix one
heaping teaspoOnful OF baking powder with one
teaspoonfui Of water in n tin cup, boil thor
oughly for few moments stir to prevent burn
ing. and il ammonia Is present You can smell IL
in the rising steam. As baking powder, when
first thrown into the water, will effervesce, care
should be taken TO not mistake bubbling for
boiling. When baking powder has not list
of its ingredients printed on its label this test
should always be applied.
Ammonia in a measure takes the place Of he
expensive ingredients of baking powders
Where sales are large the PROFITS which this
adulteration yields are enormous and some Of
the best-known manufacturing FIRMS, whose
standing would seem q guarantee against fraud,
are engaged In IL. Even some Of those con-
Germs which advertise the most extensively and
whose advertisements ring with the ''purity"
Of the article are among the worst offenders.

HIS FUNNIEST PATIENT,

From the New York Press.
"My funniest PATIENT" said the doctor, who
in truth is a well-known and hard-worked
MD. uptown. swell, that question is some
thing OF facer. You newspaper fellows do
ask the queerest questions"
Tell me, doc" urged the scribe, in a
familiar, offhand style, having played marbles
with this now eminent physician in the long
ago, "tell me about the most singular patient
you have or ever had, as the case may be-"
II see, said the doctor thoughtfully, "you
are bound to stick to me like a vampire until
tell you something, SO here goes. certain
named woman who lives on West 57th street

is what you would call beautiful woman, but.
don't believe she has even an apology of a soul.
Whether her husband realizes the latter fac.
do not pretend to say. and if he does he has too
much pride to confess it to the world. Well,
this woman came to me one morning with a
little vial and requested me to inject some OF
its contents in both of her arms ami neck. OF

II looked at her moment and wondered.
though she did not look like one, if she was a
morphine fiend. She seemed to divine nv

'She held the little vial in her own hand to NV
nostrils, which inhaled a potent fragrance in
which rose oil was represented. You see.' she
explained, Il have friend who has lust re-
turned from Paris, where she has seen this

say No, but l secured the necessary instru-
ment and told her l would comply with her re-
quests her own peril. All right she answered,
and in five minutes l had completed my novel

fume and she went away as happy as two

me to inject some more of the potent essence

"Iwear no laurel wreath" she said,
"So listening world hangs on my word,
No ifattcring train by me Is led,
No nation by my deeds are stirred.

Nor DO men battle for my smile;
