Joseph Bertrand, tho well-known French
academician and permanent secretary of
the Academy of Sciences, has just cole
brated his golden wedding. The circum-
stances under which he became engaged
to his wife form romance SURPRISING
the most lively efforts of the sensational
novelist. In 1912, soon after the opening
of the Versailles railway, Admiral Du-
mont d'Urville, n distinguished officer,
famous for his discovery of the Venus of
Milo, as we'll as for many more strictly
professional exploits, was travelling from
Paris with his charming young bride
and his private secretary. A heated
axle set the carriage on fire, and, ac-
cording TO the then prevailing custom,
the doors were locked. The secretary es-
capped through the window and did his
best TO rescue the other two. Admiral Du-
mont d'Urville thrust tho fainting lady
out of the narrow aperture into young
Bertrands arms, saying: "Savc her!
Save her, my friend, and marry heri" An
instant later the blazing woodwork fell in
upon the gallant old sailor, and he was
speedily reduced to a cinder. The secre-
tary fulfilled his dying masters iniunc-
tons. and two years later led the widow
10 the altar. Besides Nine. Bertrand he
retains another souvenir of that tragic
day in the shape of n scar across the nose
where the red hot debris of the carriage
left an indehble mark.-St. James Gd.ettc.

CHICAGO, Feb. 10-In a cherries room
in the rear of the second story of 137 Clark
street, without food, money or fire, lay
Emma Schaller, the ossfled woman. I'm
Ill three months ago she had been for
nearly seven years an attraction at dino
museums throughout the country. She
was known as "the skeleton woman"
"the ossifled woman" and "the skeleton
BRIDE" and in the days of her greatest
drawing power as a dime museum freak,
commanded salary of SIS week.
The other evening her mother, Mrs.
Mrs. Lizzie Schaller, applied at the Harri-
son police station for assistance. She
told the police that she and her daughter
had been without food for "a hours, and
had no money. Her daughter, she said,
because of the increased ossification of
her body. had become nearly helplesssand
could no longer earn money in museums.
A collection among the officers at the
police station relieved Mrs. Schaller's
most pressing necessities and she was
sent away with the assurance that her
case would be reported to the cognty
agent. and relief would be afforded her.
Her daughter, she said, was born in St,
Louis 81 years ago.

\ prominent physician says that
moro than half of the ear troubles
from which people suffer during the cold
weather can be traced TO the habit of pick
ing at the ears with the finger nails or
hairpins or some other hard substance,
which Irritates the delicate inside of the
ear. Instead of this injurious packing"
the ears should DO washed out with warm
water and a little good soap. aud thor
oughly dried after the operation. If the
ears are sensitive, n little cotton may be
put IN before going into the open air.
though this Is apt TO make them even
more sensitive. In extremely cold
weather before vcnturing out good way
TO clean the ears is to wrap the corner of
towel around the iinser, and with a lit
tie cold cream carefully wipe out the auri-
Gle. 1t will remove every particle of dust
and will really protect the ear from the
cold. but !, can scarcely be recommended

The benefit to be derived from a good
medicine in early spring is undoubted,
but many people.neglect taking any until
the approach of warmer weather, when
they wilt like tender flower in the hot
sun. Something must be done to purify
the blood, overcome that tired feeling and
give necessary strength. Vacation is
earnestly longed for, but many weeks,
perhaps months, mi 1t elapse before rest
can be INDUCED in. To impart strength,
and to give feeling of health and visor
throughout the system, there is nothing
equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t seems
perfectly adapted to overcome that pros
tration caused by change of season, cli-

Sagebrush state, and inquired about them.

And il is true. Colonel Jordan says
that Stand-and-Look-Ba is one OF
the most famous of Indian farmers. He
has $40 acres under cultivation, owns
frame house, improved farming tools and
has his horses and wagons.
On his breast there hangs a great silver
medal. with the head of Andrew johnson

other. This was presented 10 his father,
Crow Eagle, while on n visit to the presl-

Colonel Jordan, who, when he is at home,
is the post trader, says he sells carloads
of gum to the Indians.

They trooped up into the room where

look over tho city, see the bay and Oak

surprise escaped them. They had never

did not seem to quite understand the big

young men that they must not drink or
