Comparatively few people are aware
of the fact that the real name of
Gretchen Lyons, the beautiful actress
and singer who is now playing the
role of Puck in Marie Wainwright's
Shakesperian play, "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" is Ollie Heath, and
that she is Cherokee Indian girl,
born and raised at Bru5hy Mountain,
near Muscogee, I. T., and schooled at
the female seminary at Tallequah and
Harrell Institute at Muscogee.
Eight years ago Ollie Heath was a
pupil at the female seminary at Tah-
lequah and one of the prettiest school
girls that ever graced the big chapel
during study hours. She was an or
phan and with little means to pay tut
ton and board she was admitted only
to the primary department of the
school, After leaving the female sem
mary her education was completed at
MuscOgee, she having graduated at
Harrell Institute about three years ago
with the highest honors of her class.
During her school life she displayed
remarkable histrionic talent, and al
ways played the leading roles in the
private theatricals occasionally given.
A little over two years ago she took
advantage of an offer to go on the
stage. Since then but little has been
heard from her by her territory friends
except a few intimates, until recently
Her recent successes have brought her
into prominence in theatrical and mu-
steal circles, and her pictures now
adorn the pages of the metropolitan
magazines and dailies.
The Cherohees are very proud OF
Miss Heath. as they have a right to
be, for she has demonstrated that In
dian girls may attain success before
the footlights and be on an equality
in every way with their white sisters

100000 DRUNKARDS.

The Medical Record, New York, says:
"The total number of drunkards in this
country is modestly estimated by the
quarterly journal of inebriety to be
l,6VO,OOO persons. AS there are about
25,OOo,O00 adults in this country, this
means that one person out of every 10
drinks Intoxicating liquors to excess
that is TO say, drinks TO drunkenness,
and may be therefore classed as more or
less drnnkard. The Journal thinks
this estimate is very modest one, and
rather under the mark than above IL.
Still people want saloons open seven
days in the week."
And yet the saloon business which
makes men and women drunkards is a.
legal business made so by the votes of
four million Christian CD voters.

A Southern man tells the Washing
ton Post that the daisy was never
known in the South until after the
war. Now every part of the South
visited by the Union army is covered
with daisies, Sherman brought them
to us" he said land the march to the
sea can be followed in the summer
time by keeping where the daisy
grows. The seed seems to have been
transported in the hay that was
brought along to feed the horses. This
is the only explanation that has ever
been made of it,

THE SHERMAN TWINS.
They Were Adopted by the wife of the
Secretary of state.

Secretary of state.
AS most of us know. Mr.. and Mrs.
John Sherman were childless. A time
came when. after much consideration
and thought, they decided to adopt a
child and heir. Mrs. Sherman request
ed some of her intimate friends to as
sist her in the search of a desirable in
FAINT, one honestly and gently born,
and without parents to follow on aft
erward and embarrass. A friend in
New York subsequently telegraphed
her to come at once and take her
choice of two beautiful babies. There
was great excitement in the Sherman
home pending Mrs. Sherman's trip to
new York after the baby. On the next
day she telegraphed her husband:
will be at home this afternoon. Send
carriage to the depot" The carriage
went, and the Senator remained at
home, walking the floor, looking at his
watch, watching each carriage as it
came in sight. The train was little
late. He was becoming nervously anx-
ious.
Finally the carriage hove in sight.
he marched out to meet it at the curb,
threw open the door There was Mrs.
Sherman and nurse, each stepping
out with a baby in arms. Such an ex-
preston as came over that stern Sher-
man face was never seen before 1t
could not be described. He was at a
loss for words for minute or two and
finally was able to stammer: wife,
what does this mean" She replied:
Husband, they were so pretty and so
much alike, that l could not make a
choice, so l selected both They were
twin girl babies. For the next few
days it was a show to watch Mr.. Sher-
man as he enjoyed and caressed the
newcomers. One of the twins sicken-
ed and died within a few weeks, and
the other is now his daughter" Mrs.

typewriters, has taken a new form in

more damage than in that which i'm

manuscript to be copied. But it is of

THE WORK OF Rum.

Not long ago there died man whose
sad life and sadder death might be taken
as lesson by every young man. But
then, these Illustrations crowd us on
every hand. 1t is the same sad story.
Rev. j. j. Talbot was at one time a
prominent preacher in Indiana. Over

up his work in the ministry ard drifted
from one thing to another. motiveless
and heartless. While in a drunken de-
bauch he died, leaving a published vol
ume of lectures, the work on which was
completed only few days prior to his
death. The quotation from the last
chapter, which is printed below, reveals
the power of his mind even after strong
drink had destroyed its pristine glory.

mon tore from around me the robes of

voice in all large courts was heard
pleading for Justice, mercy and the
right. But the dust gathered on my
open books, and no footballs crossed the
threshold of drunkard's office. | had

within. The destroyer took away my
children and my wife. Thus | stand a

PERMANENCY

The rapid rise and declension of some
Good Templar Lodges has been phe-
nomenal and deplorable. MANY who
are indifferent or merely pleasure seeking
drift out again, unless the arresting
hand of earnest purpose is laid upon
them in the meanwhile.
But a few earnest workers, who are
in the lodge because they have the tenn
perance cause and the welfare of their
community at heart will guarantee the
permanence and success of anv lodge.
They form the permanent nucleus which
is not affected by the wearing of of a
novelty, and which forms a rallving
center for the forces of temperance
sentiment, thus safeguarding the life of
the lodge by the new accessions which
are constantly attracted to it.
The social life of the Order should not
be neglected. The lodge should be a
counteT-attraction to the saloon. 1t
should be pleasant, hOme-llke and full of
good cheer But permanence can only be
secured by demonstrating that the Order
has a higher mission than simply the
amusement of the young and thoughtless.
When the lodge can point to positive
results along aggressive lines it will be
able to attach earnest workers to itself.
Facts are too strong for skep.icism or
prelddlce. There are so many demands
upon the time and resources of the pub
lie to-day, that any society demanding
recognition is closely questioned as to
the practical results which are expected
to issue, from it. Good Templar Lodges
should be able to give a satisfactory
response. a convinced public will quick.

LEE TO STAY in CUBA.

Presldent believes 1t Best to Make No
Change at Present.
WASHINGTON, Oct. e2.-General Fitz-
hugh Lee, consul general in Cuba, has
announced to his friends that he
expects to return to Cuba about
December and remain until the con.
clusiou Of the Gu ban war. He will be
accompanied by Walter i. barker,
United States consul ut Sagus 10
Grande, who arrived in this country
shortly after General Lee and on the
same mission--to furnish the president
with definite information as to the
situation in Cuba. Mr.. Mckinley has
decided to make no changes Of con-
sular officers on the island until the
rebellion is in one way or another
brought to an end. The interests Of
this country and its citizens in Cuba
will, the president believes, be better
subserved by officers who have had
experience on the island.
