El Reno Bell: This summer has seen a
vast amount Of sickness among the In
dams living along the banks of the Cana
dian, and deaths have been numerous. A
large number of adults have gone to the
happy hunting grounds, and the loss OF
pappooses has been phenomenal. To such
an extent has this been 30 that many OF
the Arapahoes have seriously talked about
going to Colorado to escape what they call
the evil spirit. 1t Is well known that the
Indian Is lover Of incanations. and has
little faith In the white mans medical
treatment, but this summer their faith In
incantations and noisy beating OF tom.
toms has waned, and they have become
bewildered. OF course, no stampede to
Colorado will tae place. The hot spell Will
pass away, the medicine men and the
agency physician will resume their expert
merits reservation farmers will cease doll
ing out calomel and Quinine for toothache,
backache, stomachache and jimjams, ana
the Indian will renew his attack on gov
eminent beef. with an appetite sharpened
by temporary fear.

A FAMOUS LINEN DESIGNER.
Miss BeI Originates Patterns for
Fine Table Nnpery.

Chicago. June 17.-"Yes, the work is
most fascinating" said Miss Glenrose Bell,
in answer to a questioner, as they stood
looking at an exquisite design of or
chids. slightly conventionalized upon a
board some four or five feet square,
ready to be sent TO Ireland, whence
wrought into beautiful damask-it will re-
turn to the United States in time for the
great linen sales of next January.
Miss Bell is one of the very few artists
in America who design exclusively for ia
bic linen; and so charmingly effective and
adaptable is her work that she has been
solicited several times over to furnish de-
signs for famous European houses. she is.
however, under contract to one OF the
largest firms in America, with whom she
has arranged for the sole right to her
clever sketches, and earns a very large
yearly income.
Miss Bell has been passionately devoted
TO drawing from childhood. and has had
the benefit of a course in art at the Art
Institute of Chicago. and later on won her
B. a. at the university. She. however,
never had any specific training in de-
sign. but seems to have been born with
the gift fully developed. Her father who
is at the head of the linen department II a
large establishment, brought home one day
while she was still in the high school,
an unsatisfactory design. and asked if she
could not readapt it, She made the at
tempt, and was so successful that she be-

PORTRAIT CARDS.
\ New Fad, if Not Desirable
One.

\ New Fad, if Not "A Desirable
For the seeker after novelty here is a
new fad. It is to have your own picture
on a pack of playing cards, and to make
them individual.
It is no longer good form to buy an or
binary pack Of cards. Nowadays they must
be made to order.
Each card is decorated with your own
photograph. and then after a quiet little
game the cards may be distributed as SOU
venirs. Or, if excessive modesty prevents
you using your own photograph as means
Of decoration. why your favorite dog or
cat will do just we'll.
These new made order cards show not
only a picture OF an individual, but ones
club flag, fayorite horse, dog, or, in fact.
any subject desired. Some OF the latest
orders show a monkey the back OF
each card. Others parrot, and still 9TH
ers a rooster. Then there are madeto-
order cards decorated with a tiny picture
of ones country house. These cards were
one of the surprises of a clever hostess TO
her guests at a recent house party.
The only trouble with this fad is that
people will insist upon taking souvenirs
from the deck, and a pack of cards that
has been souvenired might Just as well be
thrown in the ash barrel-unless they all
disappear among the guests.

Loubet's career the inner life OF the fami-

ONE woMAN's WORK.
There Is No Guessing the Good She
Docs,

DoeS.
II was on a bitter day in the winter of
1S76-77 that Mrs. Osborne, hurrying to her
home through a by-street on the west side,
saw two girls huddling for shelter in
doorway. Something in the aspect of the
women, something in the expression of
their tear-worn eyes as they looked out
upon the driving rain, stopped her on her
way and she turned back and spoke to
them. Their story was soon told
I'VE are two sisters. Our home is in
Winston, Conn. Our people are poor.
There was not enough food TO feed us all,
and so We came to New York to look for
work and didn't find it. We are penni-
less and homeless and starving
Within an hour the women were housed
in Mrs. Osborne's home. Within a week
they had, by her aid, found employment.
And out of her chance meeting with these
two women arose the thought that there
were other sisters in this city who might
be in need as desperate; that there was the
possibility Of work which might be car
ried to an endless good. Il will make
this work the object Of my life she said,
and never for a single instant in twenty
years has she weakened in her purpose.
Go into any station of a busy police
precinct in New York, says ''Lesiies Week
ly." and on the wall by the side of the
sergeant's desk, is a big placard announc-
ing in a fat black lettering that the Night
Refuge for Friendless Women is to be
found at l44 West Fifteenth Street The
placard is the first object that strikes the
eye Of the homeless creature as she opens
the door Of the station, and she reads these
words: open all night for the reception
OF those who need succOr. No questions
asked, no cards or letters necessary to Sc
cure shelter and food"
ON winter night, said the sergeant,
well sometimes have more than dozen
women come here for shelter. We just
point to that placard, and they read it and
go right out, and We know that they'll find
a bed. There was one woman, ! remember

she caught sight of that pasteboard She
clutched hold of the rail, and, brushing
away the hair where it had fallen over her
eyes, she began to read the address with
