very soon found that they could do her
no good, and simply prescribed antisep-
ties to keep the place clean. Both her
grandmother and aunt, by the way, had
died with cancer, and when apprlsed OF
this fact. the doctors told me that they
would not attempt to save her: that she
was incurable. Although the cancer
had by this time become deep seated,
and her health very low, had one OF
the most noted specialists OF New ork
to treat her. After treating her awhile,
this doctor admitted that the case was
hopeless and further treatment useless.
1t is difficult to imagine how Respondent

It has often been puzzle to students
Of Shakespeare why his name is spelled
in so many different ways. Shakespeare
himself is said to have signed his name
ON different occasions "Shakspeare" and
"Shakespeze, and learned disquisitions
have been written to prove which is the
proper spelling. None perhaps was more
amusing than the weather" reason
given in 1851 by Albert Smith, who
averred that he had found it in the Har-
leian MSS 1t was as follows:

A THEORY.


wbv do the yiolins shudder so
When across them is drawn the bow,
Sob for anguish and wild despair?
Human souls are imprisoned there.
souls are shut in the violins,
They are the souls Of Philistines,
Rut the Philistines, row on row,
Soulless sit and they do not know.
Rut they brandish their eyeglasses,
Stare at each others evening dress,
Scrutinize form or brilliant hue,
Saw. ssIs 1t rouge or Is 1t true?"
"Some one was fat a semitone,
And how stout the sopranos growni
Ism Il the bass dearp And, oh,
Do look at Mrs. So-and-so!"
Still the musicians play serene,
As though Philistines had not been,
But their souls in the violins
Mourn on bitterly for their sins.
Call them wildly and call in pain,
Call them with longing deep and vain,
And with infinite tenderness,
Since they can give them no redress.
Since NOT one of them is aware
Here is he and his soul Is there.
In the music's divinest chord,
Making melody to the Lord.
SO how often In life and art
Soul and body must dwell apart
Great is the masters soul, no doubt
Twenty Philistines go without.
Are we body or are we soulf
Little matter upon the whole.

BOONE AND THE INDIANS.

The Old Kentucky Hunter Was . Prisoner
In Their Hands For Months.
Boone frequently took to the field ON
set expeditions against the savages
Once when he and party of other men
were making salt at lick, they were
surprised and carried off by the Indians.
The old hunter was prisoner with them
for some months, but finally made his
escape and came home through the track
less woods as straight as the wild pigeon
flies. He was ever on the watch to ward
off the Indian inroads and to follow the
war parties and try to rescue the prls-
oners.
Once his own daughter and two other
girls who were with her were carried
off by a band of Indians. Boone collected
some friends and followed them steadily
for two days and a night. Then they
came to where the Indians had killed
buffalo calf and were camped. Firing
from a little distance, they shot two In
dams, and rushing in rescued the girls.
On another occasion, when Boone had
gone to visit salt lick with his brother,
the Indians ambushed them and shot the
latter. Boone himself escaped, but the
Indians followed him for three miles by
the aid Of tracking dog, until Boone
turned, shot the dog and then eluded his
pursuers. In company with Simon Ken
ton and many Of the noted hunters and
wilderness warriors he once and again
took part in perilous expeditions into
the Indian country. Twice bands of In
dams, accompanied by French, Tory
and British partisans from Detroit, bear
/ ing the flag Of Great Britain, attacked
Boonesboro. In each case Boone and his
fellow settlers beat them off with loss
At the fatal battle Of tho Blue Licks,

WELLINGTON WAS WARMED.

IN Which Might Have Materially
Anected the Destiny Of Europe.
The story goes that Wellington used
to ride over daily, with one or two of
his staff, from his headquarters at st.
Jean de Luz, and take his stand on the
top of wooded sand hillock, called
Blanc Pignon, on the left bank Of the
Adour, which commands view of both
banks and the town itself two miles up
stream. This had been noticed by the
French, who had still command Of the
river and the opposite shore, and the
jealous sailor aforesaid, Bourgeois by
name, conceived the plan Of enrapping
the great English captain by lying in
ambush for him, with few men,
among the underground ON the sand
dune, which happened to be on neutral
ground Just outside the line Of French
pickets.
General Thouvenot very honorahly de-
clined to sanction this tricky proceeding,
but, seeing through his glasses from the
clock tower of the cathedral in Bayonne
that it was actually being carried out,
Notwithstanding his disapproval, he sent
mounted orderly, as fast as he could
gallop. down the road on the left bank
of the river (the present site Of the Al
lees Marines) past the French pickets,
to warn Wellington Of his danger. The
message was just in time. When within
a short distance of the ambush, awaiting
him on the narrow little track winding
up the sand dune, he turned his horse
and moved quietly off in another direc.
tion.
So says the story, which, entirely be-
ieved by the French, is placed on record
by Morel, declared in footnote to be
correct, and then (1846) within the
memory Of living witnesses. We can en-
tirely agree with the author in his sue

SPOONlNG PARTIES.

How These Commendable Aids to Matri-
mony Should Be Conducted.
"Spooning" parties are popular in
some quarters They take their name
from a good old English word which
was intended to ridicule the alleged fan
tastic actions Of a young man or a young
woman who is in love. For some reason,
which no one ever could explain, every
body pokes fun at the lover. In fact,
that unhappy character is never heroic
in real life, no matter what great gobs
Of heroism are piled about him on the
stage, and in all the romantic story
books. The girl in love and the boy in
love are said to be "spoony."
When ''spooning" party is given,
the committee in charge Of the event re-
ceives spoon from each person who at
tends, or else presents each guest with q
spoon. These spoons are fancifully
dressed in male and female attire, and
are mated either by the similarity Of
costume or by distinguishing ribbon.
The girls and boys whose spoons are
mates are expected to take care Of each
other during the continuance Of the so
cial gathering.
Of course the distribution of the spoons
is made with the greatest possible care
fitness, the aim being to so place them
as to properly fit the case of the young
people to whom they are presented. The
parties are usually given by the young
people of some neighborhood where the
personal preference Of each spoony is
well known, and they are the source of
no end Of fun. Il is possible also that
they serve as aids to matrimony as well,
and are therefore commendable, since
an avowal ID made more easy to diff
dent swain after he feels that his pas
sion is not q secret, but that his weak
ness for "spoony" maiden is known to
his friends and enemies ON the commit
tee which dispenses the spoons. 1t may
be mentioned that after the spoons have
been distributed among the guests, each
couple retires for consultation regarding
the reasons which caused the award Of
mated spoons in their case. This consul
tation is known by the name Of ''spoon-
: ing."-St. Louis Republic
