A Peculiar CASEY
PHYSICIANS PUZZLED BY THE EX-

The Episcopal Hospital Said She Had

(FroT1 ne Record, Philadelphia, Pu.)
Last July the Episcopal hospital admitted
g woman whose pale and cmaciaisd face and
racking cough proclaimed her the vic

Mrs. Sallie q. Bowen, wife Of VIM. G. Bowen,
residence, 1919 Meighsn ST., Philadelphia
The case was diaFnoeed and she was told
plainly that she was in an advanced stage
of consumption. The examining physician
even showed her the sunken place in her
breast where ecavity in her lung was sup
posed 70 exist. She went home to her family
a broken, disheartened woman with death
staring her in the face. That was the begin
ming Of the story, the end was told by Mrs.
Bowen, who no longer expects 70 die, TO
reporter who visited her home.
The first symptoms Of consumption came
in the form Of terrible sweats, both night
and day. From April until September |
was constantly cold and kept wrapped up
in blankets through the hottest weather.
terrible cough took possession of me, nv
breast was sore 10 the slightest touch, and
my limbs were like cold clay. The hardest
rubbing with the cOarsest towel would not
create the slightest flush, and the least
exertion would so exhaust me that could
barely gasp for water.

diagnosed my case as above stated. Ii

that the first CLINT of sunshine came Mr.
Shclmerdine, a friend. who lives around at

trader would make closer acquaintance

Chimmie Fadden's Creator

Mr. Edward w. Townsend, the creator
of the lnimitable Chimmie Fadden, was
horn in Cleveland, Ohio, but migrating
tU San. Francisco when he left school he
made California his adopted state. He
started to study practical mining at the
great Comstock lode with an elder brother
but the fascination of newspaper life took
hold of him and after two years appren-
ticeship to journalism in several mining
camps he returned to San Francisco.
Here he wrote long and short stories for
the San Francisco Argonaut, the leading
weekly on the Pacific coast. Finally he
gravitated in 1892 to New York where he

his engagement with the Sun he began

the city editor replied: well. imagine

Mr.. Townsend relates how the follow

a Jew DAYS before he wrote the first story
where some ladies were giving dinner
to tenement ouse children which 1 was

me gulp down piece of pie in about two
bites. The young lady in charge, who
seemed to be ON very good terms with the
boys and assumed pretty air of COM
radeship, was standingEby ana saw the
pie disappear. She leaned over and
said, with bit of the boys manner for
good-fellowship: Would you like an
other piece If l can sneak IT.? His eyes
frightened. She brought the pie and
placed it before him with little conf.
dental whisper. as though it we're
special favor. of which he was not to tell.
AS she did so the boy leaned over and
kissed her hand. 1t must have been
the innate gentleman in him. No one
could have taught him. 1t may be he
had seen a courtier do it on some Bowery
stage; but l think it was just his own
