How IA Woman Avoided Arrest.

The town constable of New Glou-
cester, Me-, has shown himself incapable
of overcoming rather amusing obstacle
to the discharge of his official duties.
He had directions to arrest young wo-
man for non-payment of taxes. He met
her on the highway, and after serving
the warrant told her to 'come along"
She sat down in the road and told the
constable if he wanted her to take her;
that she would make no resistance. AS
the woman weighs 1870 pounds and the
officer but 1876, the arrest was declared

captaincy for gallant conduct on the
field. After the close of the war he
went to Chicago and studied medicine
and surgery, graduating from Rush
Medical college in 1867. From 1868 to
1875 he was demonstration of anatomy at
that institution. In 1885 and 1886 he
was president of the Chicago Medical
college, and held the chair of surgery at
Rush college at the time of his death.
AS surgeon DR.. Parkes had few
equals on the American continent. His
nerves were like steel, his judgment &C
curate and prompt, and he was invaria
bly, successful in operations of the most
difficult character. A wealthy woman
of California paid him fee of $25, 900
for performing heroic operation. DR..
Parkes was an enthusiast in his profess
sion. His summer vacations were spent
in European hospitals studying intricate
surgical cases. He was broad minded,
charitable man, whose skill was as freely
at the disposal of those who were unable
to pay commensurate fees as the wealthy
who rewarded him with princely sums.

has successfully undertaken novel
scheme for educating young men and
women along the line of practical affairs.
Mr.. Foster has beautiful home on
Greenwood boulevard, and in the spa
cious grounds to the rear stands large,
one story structure called "The Shelter"
Up to last January The Shelter had been
utilized by Mr.. Fosters guests simply as
a place of refuge in case sudden shower
interfered with a tennis game, or as a
cool retreat whenever the sun beat too
hotly upon the outdoor merrymakers,
but at the beginning of the year Mr..
Foster originated an idea which has
made The Shelter center of literary
activity.
In conjunction with Professor Bolt
wood he organized the Back Lot Studies
society, and invited the bright boys and
girls of the village to become members.
Since the opening night those privileged
to be present at the weekly meetings
have been entertained with talks by peo-
pie prominent in every phase of business
and professional life, and the programme
for the summer includes addresses by
General Nelson A. Miles, ex-senator ID.
M. Sabin, President Rogers, of the
Northwestern university, and number
of gentlemen distinguished in science,
invention, banking, navigation, COM
merce and the law. Mr.. Foster bears
all the expenses of the undertaking, and
the fame of the Back Lot Studies society
has already spread to other points, where
similar organizations are contemplated.
Indeed, it looks as though the Evanston
idea might bear as abundant fruit as the
one evolved at Chautauqua.
