Recent investigation had by this

almost total disregard OF the laws and

To the proper and sale conduct Of the
affairs of this Bureau, SO far as il re-
lates To the payment ~ pensions, and
special efforts air contemplated To cor
rect the existing abuses.
While IL Is believed that many Off

their criminal liability in the premises,
it * equally certain that many others,

Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell Thompson run the
historic Cuyler House at Plymouth, III. a hos

where "Dick" Yates, Lyman Trumbell and
Richard Oglesby bought refreshments for the
inner man in ante-bellum days, and from the

livered one Of his great speeches.
This article has not so much to do, how
ever, with this historic hotel, as it has with
the landlords thirteen-year.old laughing,
bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked daughter Ollie.
As one sees her to-day, the picture of per.

Able physicians were employed but no
permanent benefit resulted.
Mrs. Thompson heard of wonderful cure
which had been effected by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, and was intu-
snced by II to purchase some of the pills for
her daughter.
Before she had taken half box, there was
marked improvement in her condition; when
she had taken two boxes she was completely
restored to health. To-day, there Is not q

Inc case came TO the attention of the editor

cure from Mrs. Thompson's own lips. She

Dangers of the Bicycle

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
While protests are in the air for the abate-
ment of nuisances, cannot something be
done in behalf OF the honest pedestrian!
Against collision with vehicle and street
car we pedestrians are comparatively safe;
but who can account for the vagaries in the
mind of reckless bicyclist?
About month ago young girl and boy
of 10 were run into by cyclist. Although
it was nearly dark he carried no light nor
did he ring bell.
The little boy, Howard Bentley of
1927 South Hill street, was knocked insensi-
BILE, his head hitting the Santa Monica car
rails. The festive rider never halted. AS
the big car was rapidly coming on the boy
would have been crushed to death if it had
not been for the desperate struggle Of the
young girl, who at first was nearly paralyzed
with fear. Two men carried the boy home,
where he lay unconscious for hours. He is
still out of school, with prospect of six
months vacation before him.
This is the closest call that personally
know of, but other collisions have come to
my knowledge without my asking for infor-
nation.
l know places where little girls are jost1et
on the sidewalks and sometimes knocked
over, because in the scramble they can't al
get out of the way.
A lady told me not long ago she saw a
bicycle sweeping down on her and jumped
aside, only to find the rider lodging that
way. She tried the opposite direction ane
found him there also. Thrusting her para
sol into the wheel the rider was forced t.
dismount. Whereupon he showed consid
erable temper. The lady told him as il
seemed question of herself or her paraso

FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
"Women of Shakespeare" by Mrs.
Charles Adams

OAdI1cS <1uumS
Mrs. Charles Kendall Adams, wife of Pro-
fessor Adams, president of the Wisconsin
State university, who is spending the winter
in Los Angeles, yesterday gave a most in
teresting and scholarly address before the
Friday Morning club to large audience of
the members on 'The Women of Shakes
peare." The speakers familiarity with her
subject and long quotations from the differ.
cnt dramas given without book, paper or
notes, to illustrate her points, indicated
that the subject had been given long re-
search and study. Her comments on the
various characters were keenly analytical,
and her conclusions broad and generous,
though in some instances dffereng from
other students.
The speaker took up the various charac-
ters as types of womanhood; Rosalind por-
traying joyousness; Portia and Celia the
value of friendship; Catherine, "the queen
of earthly queens" who, if her character is
simply analyzed was but good woman.
The description of Cleopatra going down
the river to meet Antony, the speaker con-
siders one of the finest things in Shakes
peare, and the whole play teaches that
though sin may be disguised in superb art
there is no escaping it's deformity and it's
consequences. The speaker confessed that
she was unable to determine the queery
SO often put, "Did Shakespeare intend to
be a great moral teacher?" but the fact re-
mains that he was,
In Macbeth" there are traces of haste
which intensifies its power, the writer
catching its dramatic, not its historic, force.
Two great characters dominate the play,
and neither can be successfully acted Mrs.
Siddons, after forty years spent in study
and on the stage, confessed herself unable
to portray Lady Macbeth. The speaker
held her responsible for her husbands first
plunge into ruin, and she is a type of the
over.ambitious woman: woman quick to
think, quick to act. She was what many
have been from the beginning, and will be
to the end. Desdemona was next taken
up, and side lights from new point of
view thrown upon her character by the
speakers keen perception.

DIR. Grigran, of Augusta, was the first
doctor who had her case. He doctored her
through two serious times of the disease, and
finally told us he could not cure her. We
doctored her most all the time, but when she
was ten years old she had an unusually severe
attack, and we called in DIR. Kreider, Of Prai.

tried hard to cure her but finally gave it up.
