TOM MooRe's FIRST SWEETHEART.
She Was the Heroine of His "SIary. Be
lieved Thee True"

ACAGu AAtG ANnNe
To the present generation the name
Of Mary Duff is known only by tradition
and by Moore's poem, says Edward Box
in The Ladies Home Journal Yet her
career reads like a romance. 1t was in
London that she was born, in 1894. Her
christened name was Mary Ann Dyke.
When she was scarcely 10, she was
known far and wide as one Of the most
beautiful girls Of the noighborhood. Her
poverty led her to adopt the stage as a
profession, and she and her two sis
ters, also of great beauty, became dam
GERS at the Dublin theater, where their
singular grace, comeliness of face and
person attracted immediate attention
and admiration. Whenever the Dyke
sisters appeared, the theater would be
thronged. And Mary seemed to be the
favorite Of the trio
1t was the fashion of the time at Kill
kenny for gentleman amateurs to give
annual public performances for the ben
eft of the poor Of the city, and it was
on one Of these occasions, when the as
sistance Of professional ladies from Dub
lin was invoked, that Thomas Moore,
the Irish poet, was introduced to Mary
Dyke and Immediately found himself
passionately in love with her. It was in
the play, Fortunes FrOlic, =" that Tom
Moore personated Robin Roughhead and
Mary Dyke Nancy.
The Irish poet became Mary Dykes
very shadow, and after awhile he pour
ed forth his great love for her and offer
ed her his hand and heart But, for
some reason, the beautiful Mary did not
reciprocate the wealth of affection thus
offered her, and she rejected him. It
was this which led Moore to return to
his room, and in the midnight hour pen
his celebrated love song, beginning
MARY, believed thee true. "

AntitO1ine IN Boston city Hospital.

The use of antitoxine in the treatment
At diphtheria at the City hospital has re-
ducod the mortality by about One-half.
According to a report received by DIR. Dur
gin Of tho board Of health the treatment Of
the last 119 completed cases which have
occurred there has resulted as follows;
Twenty deaths. 90 recoveries. OF
those deaths 10 entered the hospital with
severe sepsis, which would leave but 8
deaths out Of 50 cases that could reason

The Rats Nest ExnIodel.

Rats are the cause of a great deal
of annoyance to those who live in the
mountains, and many stories could be
told of their deviltry. The latest
comes to us by letter from Red Lodge.
John Andrews, of Dilworth, accom-
panied by cowboy, on their way to
the mines of the Clark's Forks,
stopped at a cabin owned and former
ly used by Shelby Eli billiard, the
journalistic miner In the fireplace
was a mountain rats nest. Fire was
applied to this, and in a moment Il
terrific explosion took place. Both
men were knoked down, and when as
sistance came soon after from man
following them they were unable to
move. Surgical and medical assistance
was immediately procured. and it is
believed that both will recover. 1t
seems that the rats had procured from
some source or other a number of ex-
plosive caps, such as are used by min
ers, and deposited them in the nest as
they are wont to do with everything
bright. -BOzeman (Montana) Chron-
