known to the readers of light literature
through her novels molly Bawn" and
Phyllis" pretty tales Of the joys and
trials of lovers told in light, chatty
way, which found favor in two cont
nents. For many years the novels of
1.-The Duchess" have sold in many edi-
tons.
Mrs. Hungerford lived at st. Brendas.
Bandon. County Cork. She married
when very young and was early left a
widow with three small children to
care for. In 1888 she married Henry
Hungerford of Cahirmore. Her first
novel, Phyllis" was written to keep
the wolf from the door. 1t proved to be
popular and was followed by others OF
like kind, which brought good income.
Besides her novels, she has written
many novels on domestic topics.
Mrs. Hungerford was very proud Of
her Irish descent. She was the daughter
of Rev. Canon Hamilton, rector of one
OF the oldest churches In Ireland and
ST. Faughan's cathedral in Ross, Ger
berry, County Cork. Her grandfather
was John Hamilton of Besington Dun
boyne. The success of The Duchess
stories was largely due to the humorous
situations and the bright, crisp dla-
logue. While writing Phyllis" she was
jokingly introduced to a reception as
"her grace the duchess" The nom de
plume was thus suggested and has al
ways been associated with her literary
work.

two companies by managing them with
concern to the interests of the share.
holders. His policy was one of conser-
walton, not to say contraction, Of cap
ltal, instead of infiation-the commoner
policy. The two companies at the close
of 1895 had joint capital of $50 ,0O0,-
600 and assets OF 500, 475,OO0, with a
surplus of $S,475,O0O of earnings out

The recent consolidation Of the two
companies has done much to further
the desirabillty of these stocks abroad.
The British investor understands sub

comforting to the two companies. East

AN ATHLETIC TRAINER.

Max Peutner, Who "a Connected with
the University o. Chicago.
In carrying out the new ideas of
athletic training at the University of
Chicago Trainer Max Beutner will play
an important part. His great success
with the football team last fall made
the students anxious to retain him for
the training of the track and baseball
teams. The contract was speedily
closed, and for the next six months the
fortunes of the candidates will in a
large measure depend on MAX" as the
students are fond of calling him. The
trainer himself says that Chicago will
have a winning team, and he Is not In
the habit of making exaggerated
claims. He has already succeeded In
inspiring an enthusiasm among the stu
dents that has hitherto been an un-
known quantity at the University OF
Chicago.
Beutner's first claim to fame was
made at the Manhattan Athletic Club
of New York in 1887. He was then
under the tutelage OF "Jim" Robinson.
and materially assisted in turning out
some famous athletes Of that year.

New York Press, an Italian walked in
to town leading dancing bear and told
a story which accounted for the In
juries. His name was Antonio Maxia,
and he was on his way from Buffalo to
New York. AS the weather was mild,
he conceived the idea of saving rail.
road fare and picking up few coins
along the way by walking the distance.
Without adventure he reached a point
between Binghamton and Vestal, when
he determined to stay in vacant barn
over night.
Accordingly, ''Beppo" was lodged in
one corner Of box stall and Antonio
curled down on a pile of straw for a
nap. He was awakened by several
rough forms bending over him and a
voice saying: Wen go through him
anyway, and If he hollers kick in the
head will finish him."
Antonio was frightened. He had $40
In a belt AS one of the men seized his
arms, he gave the whistle he used to
call his four-footed cervant. The men
thinking he was signaling comrade,
threw him down and choked him until
he gasped for breath. They did not
see the dark form that emerged from
the box stall and shuffied toward them.
Evidently "Beppo" realized the situa-
ton at once. Among his other accom-
plishments he had at one time given
boxing exhibitions with his keeper. AS
one of the men who was bending over
the Italian looked up and saw the heavy
figure he gave shout. Catching up a
club he struck violently at the bear.
The blow was parted and the club
sent crashing through window. Then
companion drew a revolver. A blow
sent the weapon in one direction and
the man spra wiling on the ground. Then
II was that the wounded man drew a
knife and attempted to attack bruin.
He was seized in bra why arms and left
shr!eking for help as his companions
fed
Fortunately for the man Antonio had
regained his senses and compelled the
animal to loosen his hold. The tramp
on being released staggered to the door
and out into the darkness. Antonio
thinks that only for the prompt aid rem
dered by "Beppo" that night he would
have been robbed and perhaps MUIR
dered. AS it was he had enough of tour
ing in that section. and with his four
footed friend took the train for Port
Jeryis.

Mrs Lincoln was fond OF display,

~ to occupy the proud position Of
mistress Of the White House during
the administration at Washington. The
establishment over which the nations
first Chief Executive presided was In
Market street. Philadelphia, and 1t was
not TIL near the end Of President
Adams first term that the executive
mansion was ready for occupancy. Mrs.
Adams was-a woman OF great energy
and strong will. and to these her hus-
band owed much OF his success In life.
They were tenants Of the White House
only four months. and as the succeed
ing tenant. Jefferson. was a widower
and bohemian at heart, little formal
ity and pOmp attended his receptions.
All his daughters were married, and he
loved to have actors, artists and singers
throng his house. Mrs. Madison. the
next mistress of the White House, was
noted for her beauty. and, like Mrs.
Cleveland. she had a remarkable men,
DRY for faces and names, which added
largely to her popularity. While Mr..
Madison was President the executive
mansion was burned by the British, and
he was obliged to rent house to take
its place. Here pretty Dolly Madison
held her receptions for the thirteen re-
malning months of her husbands ad-
minstration. The house Is said to be
haunted now. and nobody will live in 1t.
Mrs. Monroe was tall and graceful,
with winning manners. The great act
of her life was performed before she
entered the White House as its mis-
tress. When Mr.. Monroe was minister
to France she personally interceded for
a respite OF the government sentence
OF death against Madame Lafayette,
and secured the release Of that lady.
Mrs. John Quincy Adams was an ex-
tremely delicate woman, and could not
undergo the fatigue Of public recep-
ton. She was possessed Of great refine
ment and literary tastes. and wrote
very pretty poetry. She used to serve
cake and wine at her receptions. Mrs.
