the famous curse scene was given with
great dramatic force.

Clarendon as Aaron Rodney. Edith Cro-

BRAVE WOMEN

Maud Daniel, the shrewd manager of
the Wilbur Opera Co, participated I'm an
incident last week that shows her to be
not only a clever business woman: hut 10
be possessed of a great deal of the milk
OF human kindness.
After the performance last Saturday
night, Miss Daniel LETT on the midnight
train with Pauline Hall for the latter's $
delightful summer home, few miles
outside of New York city.
On Sunday evening the ladies were out
driving when they noticed a blaze In the
distance. The ladies' left their carriage
and fastened to the scene Of the fire.
The fire proved to be In an old MILL a
sort OF landmark In that locality, and ii
was burning fast
Miss Hall said that she thought some
horses were stabbed within, so these two
fair members of the theatrical profession
resolved to rescue the animals at any
risk. Not another soul had yet arrived
but the two ladies boldly began to break
down the doors.
They were gowned in nne specimens of
the modiste's art: but this did not deter
them from their humane work In break
ing down the door Miss Hall was Sc
vereiy burned about the arms; but she
and Miss Daniel never ceased their la
bors unti. five horses had been led out.
After which, womanlike, Miss Hall pro-
ceeded to faint.
BY the way, Miss Daniel says that Miss
Hall has a little daughter, four years OF
age. who will some day make even her
mother look to her laurels as q beauty.
This little daughter is described by Miss
Daniel TO be the sweetest baby In the
land" and IL is well known that she is
the pride and JOY of Miss Halls life.

A gentleman who has travelled extern
sively says that the common cabbage
weed or hog cabbage that grows abun-
dainty throughout the United States Is

qualities OF the weed was made known
by fight between frog and small
snake. Every time the snake mnged ut
the frog and succeeded i'm stinging IL.
the wounded reptile would hop to the
nearest cabbage weed and nibble IL. In
many cases OF severe bites by spiders
and snakes the prompt application of a
poultice made of hog cabbage leaf has

younger and more delicate the leaf OF the
weed Is. the more enicacious are its
qualities.
