JENNY IIND'S TACT.
She sang God Save the Queen" at
an Embarrassing Moment.

That Queen Victoria is not blind to
the hold that other celebrities may
have upon the feeling of her people was
prominently Illustrated in lsiS, when
Jennie Lind was to sing at Her Majes-
tvs Theater The Queen made her
first public appearance after the MEM
orable Chartist day. For the great ar
tiste, too. this was a first appearance,
for it was the beginning Of a season at
"A place where the year before she had
won unparalleled fame.
It happened that the Queen entered
the royal box at the same moment that
the pTima donna stepped upon the
stage. Instantly a tumult of acclama-
tiOn burst from every corner of the the
alter. Jenny Lind modestly retired to
the back Of the stage. waiting till the
demonstration Of loyalty TO the sover-
eign should subside.
The Queen. refusing to appropriate
Ia herself that which she imagined to
be intended for the artistic, made no ac

ued. Increased. grew overwhelming,
and still there was no acknowledgment
from either the stage or the royal box
AT length, when the situation be-
came embarrassing. Jenny Lind, with
ready tact. ran forward to the foot
lights and sang God Save the Queen"
which was caught up at the end of the
solo by the orchestra, chorus and audi
ence. The Queen then came to the
front of the box and bowed and the
opera began.

FROM GUM GIRL
TO GRAND DAME
A California Maiden Takes the
Jump With Ease and Grace.
She Was Poor, But Her Beauty Led
Her FrIm Poverty to Wealth
and Fame

From a gum girl to grand dame al
most i'm one bound is thrilling fight that
few girls may take In this practical age.
says the San Fancisco Examiner Beau
tiful Marion Nolan, better known to the
world as The California Venus" took
the jump with characteristic ease and
grace. Three years ago she was Marion
Nolan, gum giTl-poor and pretty. Now
she is Sonora Fernandez Cabrera. grand
dame, rich and beautiful
Marion Nolan first courted public at
tention during the midwinter fair in
Golden Gate Park. There she was one
OF the shOrt-frOcked girls i'm blue, who
sold gum and created the lasting gum
girl title for themselves. She was the
prettiest Of the lot, and consequently the
most successful in selling her wares.
Soon her pictures were displayed every
where on iaring posters and huge pho
tographs Her portrait became a trade
mark or the gum company. That was
the first chapter. The second followed
swiftly after.
California had begun 10 delve deeper
than ever before into art for arts sake.
A statue in marble that should glorious
ly typify the magnificent wOmanhOOd OF
the Golden State was proposed. Who
bc lilc lueslIDH, very
prepiexing at first, developed a beauty
contest. Photographs and measure
ments were sought and numerOusly re-
ceived The fairest OF the fair among
California beauties were represented.
Marion NOlan's picture was among the
number. When the contest narrowed
down to a final choice il was found that
the gum girl had won.
A reputed love affair with wealthy
and handsome young Englishman, who
had fallen in love with her picture which
most too trivial 10 mention, interVened
before the third chapter, i'm which the
artist model deserted the atmosphere Of
the studio for the lights and shadows Of
the greenrOom.
So ended the third chapter.
The fourth chapter was begun almost
Immediately. Don Fernandez Cabrera.
"A wealthy Spaniard from the City OF
Mexico. and THE California Venus"
met for the first time. 1t seems TO have
been the usual case of love at first sight
that goes with all up-to-date romauces.
A After a time the don returned To Mexico.
Shortly afterward Marion Nolan. now
famOuSly beautiful suddenly and mys-
teTiOusly disappeared from the city.
Months passed. and then equally sud
denly there was geographically flashed
upon the world from the South that
The California Venus" Marion Nolan.
had been married To wealthy Don Fer
nandeZ Cabrera. Thus ended the fourth

Of the family 10 which electricity has

electric cradle. with its fanciful re-

hearts Of its youngest members.
In many OF the American homes cleo
tricity is employed for lighting, for
electric elevators and sunary minor
domestic purposes. and for such houses
the motor cradle is now provided. This
device is a great improvement on the
old rocker. as ii can be set in motion

oscillation can he secured.
The motion is impaired To the cradle
by means Of smail electric motor, the
connection with the current supply be-

and plug attached either to the cleo
trolier or to a special socket in the
Dashboard. The motion may be accel-
Grated or slackened simply by turning
a switch, causing the motor to run at
different speeds,
At the foot of the cradle is revolv-
ing globe studded with lamps of differ
ent colors. and as soon a. the cradle is
set in motion these are illumined and
their ever-changing colors are con-
stant source of delight to the children.

One Hundred Thousand Grateful Sol
dfers.

These war times have tried mems souls
in many unexpected ways, but like a shaft
of sunshine and good cheer out of the cloud
of privation and endurance has been the
work that The American Tobacco Co.. has
lone among the U. S. Soldiers and Sailors
ever since the war began-for when they
discovered that the camps and hospitals
were not supplied with tobacco they de-
cided to provide them, free of cost, with
enough for every man, and nave already
given outright to our Soldiers and Sailors
over one hundred thousand pounds of BAT
Ak Plug" and Dukes Mixture" Smoking
Tobacco, and have bought and distributed
fifty thousand briar wood pipes, at a total
cost of between fifty and sixty thousand dol
lars.
This work has been done quietly and
thoroughly, by establishing headquarters
in each camp, so that every camp and every
hospital of the United States Army has
been supplied with enough tobacco for
every man and the sailors on thirty
United States Ships in Cuban water, have
shared with the soldiers this most welcome
of all "rations."
Perhaps it will be only fair to remember
when we hear the remark again that
corporations have no SOULS" that there
is one American corporation whose soul
has been tried and has not been found
wanting in practical kindness"

Free to Teachers and scholars.

In 1897 we had thousands of requests
from teachers and scholars for Wonder
land '97. The edition-a large one-was
exhausted long before the end of the year.
Wonderland '9S can now not only be sup
piled to those unable to secure the former,
but also to others. 1t is entirely different,
however, from the first named book. 1t has
a chapter on The Agricultural Northwest,
crammed full Of valuable information; one
on Yellowstone Park, written especially
for teachers; another on Alaska and Klon-
dixie, and one on A Canoe Lake Trip, that
will be of interest to schools. The book has
a high art cover designed by Leyendecker,
and it is profusely illustrated from new
photographs. The Northern Pacific Rail
way will send the book and a revised folder
map of Yellowstone Park, upon receipt of
to Chas. S. Fee, Gen. Pass. Agent, st. Paul,
Mimi. Write address plainly, and state
where you saw the advertisement.
