Has a Wonderful Memory.

George w. McMillion of Friar's Hill,
w. Va, is about 40 years old and has
the gift of remembrance wonderfully
developed. He can, off-hand, recite the
names, birthdays, hour of death, ma
jorities and the closest details of the
lives of all the Presidents in regular
order; can name all the horses in his
neighborhood; can recite poems of
5000 words without missing a word /;
recount the details OF every visit he
has made in his life; can name all the
people he has met in two weeks, and
every word every one OF them ever
said; can quote chapter after chapter
of the Bible, and has like penchant
for repeating history. He is hardly
human in many respects, sleeping in
the woods, and often going for weeks
without washing his face. One of his
most interesting feats is the repetition
of every word of a marriage ceremony
which he heard when he was 81, and
which united girl who was his sweet
heart to another man. It is said that
this ceremony was the first thing he
ever tried to remember. Since then
he has given no attention to his per-
sonal appearance and cares for moth
ing but reading and remembering
things.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL.
A woman's Advice to Those Less For
tunate Than She.

Woman's Advice to Those Less For
tunate Than She.
The most beautiful Trilby that has
posed before a Chicago audience was
revealed the other afternoon with the
rising of the curtain at the Columbia
theater. Before an audience of ladies
that crowded boxes, auditorium and
galleries, Nine. Sale, perfection OF
female loneliness, poised herself in the
familiar attitude of Du Maurier's hero
inc, her beauty and shapeliness height
ened by the Grecian garment of white
crepe and the wreath of orange BIOS
SONS that crowned the loosened hair
of gold. For moment there was silent
admiration, then enthusiastic, almost
tempestuous applause. In this impress
sive way Nine. Sale prefaced the lee
ture she was to deliver on the science
of beauty. In her talk she argued
that perfection of form and feature
could be acquired even by those ap-
parently most unfavored by nature. A
radical change in woman's habits, how
ever, is necessary, and Nine. Sale did
not hesitate to speak plainly. Clean
Illness, she admitted, is better for the
complexion than all the artificial prep
arations IL the market. Healthful ex-
ercise is of more service in rounding
the body into perfect shape than all
the distortions of tight lacing, Above
all, force of will and peace of mind are
essential to the accomplishment of ac-
quired beauty. Following the words
of advice, Nine. Sale appeared before
the audience in tights, admittedly to
show the perfect outlines OF her fig
ure, and went through the breathing
and muscular exercises that she pre-
scribes. Questions of all kinds were
freely asked by the audience and
frankly answered by the lecturer. In
response to many requests, Nine. Sale
closed her talk as she had begun it,
with an impersonation of Trilby.

'My dear Miss Poole, how cruel you
are! I'm a poverty-stricken devil, you
know. How can 1 afford to marry?"
Marry money, then" Polly said 1t
composedly, and flecked a fly from her
horses ear.
Jack looked straight ahead Of him.
THAT is one way out of the dilemma.
But suppose your heart goes In the
wrong direction? Suppose it insists on
loving where there is no money!"
"My dear Mr.. Dermott" Polly's laugh
gurgled out and rippled on and on;
"only ill-regulated hearts do such
things! AS for yours"
"Stop!" Jack caught her horses bride.
They had come TO little river and the
beast was in water to it's knees for the
ford.
'Be careful here. This is one Of the
swiftest currents hereabouts,' he cried.
Polly dragged her bride away.
"Nonsensei 1 can manage"
But the horse slipped in the tussle
and Jack had his arm about Polly's
waist close and tight.
The romantic situation was not un-
duly prolonged. Miss Georgina Poole
and her cavalier having crossed In
safety, watched from the bank. Polly's
mount scrambled up again, and she was
still firm in her saddle, with no damage
but a duclSing to the bottom of her
habit. Mr.. Dermott had been, apparent

The only thing that keeps him from

Georgina flushed little, looked pen
sive, then sighed.
IF 1 could be quite sure-but he had
a singular look In his eyes, my dear,
when he had his arm around you to-day
in the middle Of that ridiculous stream.

Polly was lying on her back in Miss
Poole's boudoir when the latter burst
in, and, breathless, sank on her knees
beside the lounge.

Polly dropped the novel she was read
ing from her hands.

Absolutely. Just now as we were

me to go and gather arbutus, you know.

FcoLINo A THEArER AuDrEN c
A Box Party Has Fun with Ono of Their
Party at the Play.

Party at the Play.
An audience at n Chicago theater
had an April fool joke played on them
in advance of the day in a way that it
will despise when IL reads this. There
was a party of young men in a box.
They are up-to-date young men and
successful plungers. The play had run
along to the second act in which an
express wagon loaded with wealth
comes on the stage. This scene al
ways fetches the house. AS the APP
plause over this was settling down sew
eral of the box party enthusiastically
grasped the right hand of one OF tho
party because-well, because they were
feeling serene and thought it was
good joke. The audience caught on"
and renewed its applause. Then the
cry for a speech went up, and as 1t was
repeated the box party again grasped
the hand Of the young man and the cry
of Speech, speech" coupled with the
name of the playwright, was repeated,
the audience supposing the young man
in the box to be the playwright. He
got up and bowed, and this only caused
the audience to cry again for speech.
Then the drop curtain was pulled aside
and the man whose business it is to
make apologies to the audience came
out and announced that the author Of
the play was not in the city. In fact,
he was in New York. The audience
looked blank, and seemed content for
awhile, although it divided it's atten-
ton between the stage and the box.
After the play, as the audience was
putting on its wraps in the foyer, the
box party came out and one of the
party mischieviously called the young
man whose hand had ben so vigorous
ly grasped by the name Of the play
wright, and as many of the audience as
heard it said in one way and another,
THAT is the author of the play, and
the man who said he was in New York
lied" And then they looked as If they
had been victimized.

Empress Frederick.

The eldest child of the queen, Victo-
ria Adelaide, Princes Royal of Eng
land, and widow of Frederick the No
BILE, Emperor of Germany, was born
in November, 1910, and is therefore 55
years of age this year. When her hus-
band was youth of "a he assembled the
hills of Balmoral with her, and pluck
ing q pice of white heather, the en-
blem of good luck, he offered her the
throne of Prussia, and, though then
they knew it not, the imperial crown of
Germany. An informal engagement
was entered upon. The marriage fol-
lowed two years later. Empress Fred
erick is an ADLER woman than her
mother or any of her sisters. Bismarck
and bigoted Prussian following could
rot crush this gifted iron-willed little
woman, whose husband worshiped
her and believed her to be his guiding
star in all things.
