Determined TO rise in his chosen pro-
fession as an educator, Ernest kemper, OF
Pierceton, Ind, overtaxed himself men
tally and physically. He was ambitious,
his mind was always on his work. From
early morn until late Mt night he contin-
ualy pored over his books.
Few persons, even with the strongest
constitutions, can keep up under such -
strain.
In addition to his studies, Mr.. Kemper
was teaching school some three miles
from his home. Finally, his excessive study
and the exposure of going TO and from
school in all kinds OF weather undermined
his health.
He was taken to his bed with pneumonia
and his overworked brain almost collapsed.
For several weeks he was seriously III.

Miss Bessie Davis, the only daughter OF
Judge and Mrs. John Davis, and grand
daughter of the late Secretary of State
Frelinghuysen, who was desirous of be-
coming a Red Cross nurse, has most re-
luctantly given up her intention. Miss
Davis is one of the most beautiful girls
In the city and a great social favorite
She is an ardent American, however, and
longed TO do her part in war against
Spain. She determined to serve as a
nurse, made application to the Red Cross
Society and had been accepted. She then
informed her parents that she intended
TO go to the front as a nurse, and 1t re-
quired the united pleadings of her father
and mother, her aunts, Misses Lucy Ere
linghuysen, and Mrs. Winthrop Grey, to
induce her to change her mind. She will
remain at home, though sadly against
her own will. Miss Davis is now in New
York, having gone to attend the wedding
of Mr. Frederick Frelinghuysen and Mrs.
Harry lie Grand Cannon, which was per-
formed in that city last week.

FALL Of Murat.s Limo Tree.

Murats lime tree on the battlefield
Of Leipsic has fallen a victim to a VIC
lent storm. The tree which witnessed
such terrible carnage was already, ac'
cording to popular belief, 200 years old
and more when the three days battle
was fought. Perhaps it drew new
strength from a soil enriched by the
countless dead; perhaps, like proud
Bolingbroke, "blood watered it to make
it grow. In any case it has survived
for more than fourscore years the great
event of its history and now lies pros
trate on the battlefeld-the last fallen
In the battle Of giants The tree has
sometimes been called Napoleon lime,
and the legend has been told that the
leader In the battle Of nations used ii
as a watchtower at critical period of
the fight.
But, according to authentic evidence,
it was not Napoleon, but Murat, who
made it famous. The great captain of
squadrons, who headed the veterans Of
Spain, seems to have climbed into its
branches and established his observatory
here on the morning of Oct. l6, 1913.
and here for some time he remained
till an intrusive cannon ball passed
through the branches and drove the
bird from the nest. 1t is grand old
veteran, grand even in death. Its trunk
is 90 meters high and 4 meters in
diameter. 1t has several times been
struck by lightning and is at last over
thrown by tempest. Near it is the ivy
colored monument to the French who
fell, whose epitaph it may justly share,
