The daughter of Rev. Sam. w.
Small, the evangelist who last week
preached a half dozen sermons at the
Monona Lake assembly, is in New
York to make arrangements for her
stage debut in the fall. And if
romantic career, coupled with a pi-
quaint and charming personality can
win success Lola Small Jackson-Ford
should find few obstacles in the road
to fame, says the New York world.
Though only "a, she has been twice
the heroine of a divorce case, though
the second has thus far resulted in
nothing more than legal separation.
Lola Small passed her girlhood in
Atlanta, Ca, where her fathers
vogue as a preacher of the gospel
was equalled in intensity by his
daughters love of the pleasures OF
the world. Gay and fun-loving, the
typical, light-hearted southern girl,

and seconds. Consequently all
the phases proper to the moon must
occur during that interval. If, there
fore, a new moon occurs on the first
Of month, and the month has more
than 20 days and II hours, the same
phase Of the moon may occur again.
The same rule holds good for the full
moon. The following statistics of
new and full moons occurring twice in
a month during the past eighteen
years are interesting:
1880, new moon, December 1 and 80.
1882, full moon, June 1 and 80.
1888, new moon, August and 81 !.
1884, full moon, August and 81.
1886, new moon, July 1 and 80.
1889, new moon, January and 80.
1891, new moon, November 1 and 80.
1893, full moon, January and 81 :.
1894, new moon, July 2 and 81.
1895, full moon, December 2 and 81 .
1897, new moon, May 1 and 81.
1898, full moon, August l and 81.
The harvest moon is the moon

nox, and will be this year the full

OF Major r. G.. Jackson, the biggest
capitalist in the country, was re-
garded fayorably by the friends OF
both.
The Jacksons removed to Knox
Vile, Tenn, where in 1895 Mrs. jack
son sought and obtained a divorce
from her husband on grounds of dis
sipation and desertion, and got the
custody Of their daughter, Isabel, then
five years old.
1t was only a few months later
that Lola Small again ventured upon
the sea of matrimony, this time with
Stewart Ford of Richmond, Va. In
two years Stewart Ford appealed to
the courts with such allegations
against his wife that Sam Small him
self took hand in the counter suit
filed by his daughter. He prepared
the document signed by her lawyer,
and portrayed his son-in-law as "a
drunkard, gambler and a loafer. !"
The suit was withdrawn by agree
ment of both parties and alimony and
dover arranged for Mrs. Ford.
When seen by a reporter Lola Small
gave little hint of the woman who
has seen the shipwreck Of her hap
piness. About feet 6 inches in
height, with 1.-the, graceful figure,
her appearance is girlish in the ex-
irene. A quantity of brown hair and
a pair Of dancing brown eyes lent
color to the impression.
ct is quite true I am going to
adopt the stage as a profession she
said, with just a trace of southern
accent in her speech, 'and that I have
had no experience save as an anna
teur. I have no Illusions about it,
don't imagine it is easy and have no
ambitions to raise the STAGE" with a
shake of her brown head.
Mrs. Lola Small Jackson-For ad-
mitted a prediction for farce-com-
edy liue, though she has as yet closed
with no one.
st have even been interviewed by a
manager as to whether or not I OBJ
ject to tignls," and she made a little
grimace ri certainly do not if they
were requisite to a role"
+ Last year she studied with Robert
Downing for Shakespearian debut,
but later abandoned this idea. Her
little daughter, a pretty five-year-old,
is her companion and will be, the
mother avows, throughout her
career.
Rev. Small Small, en- route west
to lecture in Madison, passed through
New York city and had a long con-
ference with MRS. Jackson" as she
is best known, He is in thorough
sympathy with his daughters plans.
He left Madison for st. Louis to- join
the regiment of which he was re-

AID TO SUBURBANITE MEMORY
Devices Employed by Wives to Re

Talking of memory systems" said
the suburbanite on the accommodation
train, Il can't for the life of me see
hCw a man who is unable to remember
one thing is helped by having to re-
member two. If | tie a string around
my finger l must recall the purpose of

And I've forgotten the word"
Pooh. It's easy enough to remem-
Der things if you give your mind to it."
said another suburbanite. My Mife
told me to be sure to order somehow,
what the mischief was it? Soap? Blue
ing? Well, that's funny. l thought
would be sure to remember!"
He plunged his hands into his over
coat pockets to cover his chagrin, and
pulled out of one rough bit of scant-
ling, with a memorandum in lead pen
ell attached.
Well, L VOW. My wife must have
stuck that thing in there. Oh, yes, l
see. 1t was a load of kindling she
wanted me to order. But one could
hardly be expected to remember thing
like that"
Il wish I could find a reminder of
what l am to get as easy as you did,
but my wife doesn't believe in giving
sample to help out poor memory.
Hello, old fellow, how's that?"
He had pulled little rubber shoe out
of his pocket and was regarding it with
loving eyes.
'Sammy's overshoe, by all that's
queer! And here's something inside.

Wolf Children.

The adoption of human infants by
wild and carnivorous quadrupeds has
obtained more or less credence among
the vulgar from the earliest ages, and,
while such to-day are for the most part
Iooh-poohed as idle tales, the skeptics
have little idea of the evidence that has
been offered in substantiation thereof.
Half a century ago the iconoclast who
would have dared question thai
Romulus and Remus owed their nur-
turing to a she wolf would have been
laughed to scorn by most lovers of the
classics. Twenty-Five years later the ami
NAL was substituted, on the part of tu-
tors. by woman named Lupa-a most
ing,orious conclusion, derived solely
from Imagination. To-day the tendency
to ignore all sentiment causes such
ideas to receive scant courtesy, and,
when sentiment is introduced as evil
dence, is met by the undeniable state
ment that the same miracle is ac-
credited with preserving the lives OF
many gods and heroes of antiquity
Consequently, if a single case of child
being fostered aud' reared by animals
can be substantiated beyond question,
the result will be to rehabilitate as his
tory much literature that. solely on this
account, has been :elegated to the
realm of fiction.-Lippincott

"A Partisan opthalmologist says that
the incandescent electric light is tho

the worst of all is ordinary gas light.
To the average eye not more than
5000 stars are visible; some persons

That birds build their nests by i'm
itation has been called in question by
Mr.. A. G. Butler, of London. who says
that the reason why many of them at
the beginning of the season trifle with
building material for some time before
they produce satisfactory result is
that they are unable at once exactly to
remember what the character of the
nest was in which they first saw the
light of day.
The great vitality of dragon flies is
shown by McLachland, who having
struck at a large AIschna at rest on a
twig, the head was seen to tumble down,
while the rest of the insect flew away in
an undecided manner" for consider
able distance. Upon picking up the
head he noticed that the insect had
been eating a fly at the time. THE
mandibleS continued working as if
nothing had happened, ana the masti-
Gated portions of the fly passed out at

When Mrs. Gill called and heard how
things were going she gave few more
orders and left.
West stayed in till pay night, then he
fell, but he got home with most of his
pay, and the next morning the grocer
got five dollars on account. But the
worst, according to Mrs. West, was to
come-West would drink Sunday after
noon. Then Gill was pressed into the
work.
Mrs. West mad told her husband that
Mr.. and Mrs. Gill were going to call
Sunday.
81 have no clothes fit to be seen in"
said West.
That will make no difference TO
them" declared Mrs. West, and he
stayed till the ellis came
Gill had his orders. Inside of five min
utes he had West talking as if they had
known him years. For hours they ar
gued the matter of slide and rolling
valves and other mysterious things
concerning engines. Gill had read up
before he came.
The afternoon wore away, and it was
dark before the visitors left. Of course,
toward the last Gill mentioned the fact
that West had fine children, and pleas
ant home. West made excuses about
the matter of wardrobe for the family,
and said he had been careless of late.
In confidence he told Gill that the
'missis," as he called his wife, had kind
of let things run down, and he had been
going out quite bit.
TOO nice a family TO neglect, West"
said Gill, fine children"
WELL" said West, "of late the missis
has brushed up bit, and I'm going to-"
Mrs. Gill kept Mrs. Vests courage up,
and the home frightened. West fought
it out well. When he would begin to
grow restless his wife would send word
20 the ellis, and the next evening they
would drop in unexpectedly The men
would talk by the hour, and the women
would sit near and feel hopeful. West
confided to a certain extent in Gill, and
told him how badly he wanted to go out
sometimes, but how he fought it off.
Gill, who was a bit of student of hui
man nature, would say: you have a
wonderful will-power, West. Why, do
you know 1 would be surprised if you
ever drank another drop" This would
strengthen Vests belief in himself,
and bridge him over till the next call
ut only took two months" said Mrs.
GIL to me not long since, land West was
safe. The mortgage is paid off, and they
are happy again; he never drinks a
drop. l think we spent one dollar and
five cents in car fare."-Paul Arm
