was the difficulty of finding a satisfactory

there is no doubt that the consumption of

But Bernhard alone of all who sur
round her is fresh and youthful.
You have heard how this woman
forty years ago went on the stage at
the Theater Franchise in a small part,
and how she made a failure. She was
so thin, so %untaught, yet so earnest
that the audience ridiculed her. For
ten years she struggled, then came sue
cess.
In 1880 she was at the very height
of her first fame, and in that year she
modelled s%tatuary, painted for the
Salon, played to packed houses, sue
cessfully toured America and set all
Paris gossiping with her eccentricities.
One of these was to sleep in her coffin,
which she continually decorated anew
with handsome bits of lace and choice
silk for the becomingness of the final
moment.
Her latest and greatest success is in
the role of Hamlet, the part which was
played by Charlotte Cushman with in
different success, and by Anna Dicken-
son with failure. Other women have
tried Hamlet and failed. Ellen Terry
predicted defeat, though she hoped for
the best. And no one presaged sue
cess. But Bernhardt's Hamlet is the
wonder Of the century in st~ageland.

appropriate ceremonies the great tree,
whose shade covered an acre OF ground.
was consecrated for its new purpose.
Workmen then cut of the tree twenty
feet from the ground. This big stump
was partially hollow, and was allowed
to stand for the church tower. A ia
pering steeple was built on top OF II.
The upper part of the tree trunk and
its huge branches were sawed up into
lumber for the main body Of the
church. When the church stood COIN

feet wide by seventy feet-twelve hun

Saxon churches of England, which were

are still In use.

To those who are accustomed to send
ing away from home for their goods it
is of the greatest Importance to know
the character and reliability of the
establishments selling goods to families
from catalogues. The great emporium
of the John M. Smyth Co., located at
$50 to 1866 West Madison street, Chicago,
has been established for a third of a
century, and has furnished over a half
a million homes in Chicago and vicinity
alone. This firm enjoys the confidence
of the public by it's many years of fair
dealing. 1t issues an immense illus
trated catalogue that should be in
every family, as it describes and gives
the price of every article required for
household use A sample of the extra
ordinary values offered by this firm is
shown in the illustration of the lady's
ulster in another column of this paper.
