4 GIRL s TRIAL.
The Story of Miss Kress Finds
Much Sympathy.
Her Escape Recalls to nany Women
Experiences Through Which
They Have Passed.

Many girls can sympathize with Miss
Anna Kress, of No 313 West Milwaukee
street, WATERFOWL, Wis, and many from
their own experience can join with her
in praising the remedy which brought
her relief. In speaking of it. she said
recently:

nervous and very weak and had no
color at all For six months 1 suffered

took them and in few days felt better
and continued their use until / became
well and strong with a healthy color in
my face. l recommend them to every
body afflicted as I was"
In order that no doubt might exist
as to the accuracy of her statement,
Miss Kress took affidavit to it before
Charles A. Skinner, a notary public in
Watertown, June "a, 1901.

A KANSAS STAGE BEAUTY.
Vivian Blackburn, of Anna Held's
Company, q Leavenworth Girl.

Cora Suberkrup, of Leavenworth, is
Kansas girl who has made a success on
the stage but she did it under another
name. She may have read a good deal
from Laura Jean Libby before she took
to the stage, at any rate she chose the
professional name of Vivian Blackburn.
Under such a nom de plume a person
would have to live up to the plans and
specifications of the name. Vivian
Blackburn, formerly Cora Suberkrup has
done all this and done it well. Vivian
suggests vivacity and good looks. Miss
Blackburn seems to have a plenty of
both. With these she laid the corner
stone to the foundation of her success.
Miss Blackburn is known as a stage
beauty. But she is not satisfied. Lately
illustrated papers have contained dou-
BILE page illustrated articles of her
showing her going through the course
of sprouts of a beauty school where the
specialists do everything from manicur-
ing and shampooing to massage and
fencing to develop the beauty of the
subject.
Miss Blackburn's beauty was suffi-
cient to secure her a position in the
company supporting Anna Held. She
was one of the fencing girls, and by the

A BACKYARD GYMNASIUM.
[From the New York Post.]

from the New York POST
The back yards of New York have
been put to many uses. but it is not
often that one sees the little high
fenced enclosure converted into an
open-air gymnasium. There is such an
athletic institution, however. in one Of
the yards in West Ninety street
and the inventor is convinced that
neither the original plan nor his treat
ment of it can be improved upon The
yard is 50x30 feet, is paved with cement
and has a 12-foot-high fence inclosing
it. The original paths, cut through the
cement for the use of the laundress,
haze been filled in SO that the surface is
now perfectly smooth. The owners OBJ
ject in extending the height of the
fence was to give him sufficient wall
space for sQuash-baH court, and, but
for the lack of ceiling, his court con-
forms in all other essential details to
the regulation court.
Those who have played squash-ball
know how fast game it can be made
for the player and how interesting :.
one for the spectators. When the
mushy, squashy thud in the game is
heard of an afternoon on Ninety-seventh
street, all of the windows in the neigh
borhood are thrown open and filed with
keen followers of the sport.
In the center of the court hole has
been drilled deep enough to hold a teth-
er ball pole; the cement is firm enough,
to act as casing, and thus to allow
the pole to be taken out when any
other game is being played Even a
five-minute game of tether ball before
breakfast affords more violent exercise
than the average New York citizen gets
in week.
Along a side wall of this gymnasium
there is diminutive shuttle board, with
folding legs. When this is not in use II
is leaned up against the rear wall OF
the house. out of the way. A number
of easily movable exercisers have also
been placed along the side wall The
inventor declares that he gets at least
an hours work out of his gym" every
day.

BENJAMIN B. ODELL R.,
1.-THE Man Who Downed Pistt."


Nothing in the career Of Benjamin
b. Odell. Jr.. brought him more prom
inently before the people Of his state
than the stand he took against Senator
Thomas c. Plat during the recent Re-
publican convention In Saratoga.
For the first time IN the 10 years that
he has been absolute dictator of his
party in New York, Senator Plat was
compelled to yield to another and
against his will.
He had promised George r. Sheldon
the nomination for Lieutenant governor,
1t has always been the boass Of Senator
Plat and his friends that his promise
once given was sacred. For the first
time a stronger influence than that of
the acknowledged leader compelled him
to break his word,
That Gov. Odell should have taken
that stand IL most remarkable That
le was able to have his will is even
more extraordinary, for II seems u
inark the beginning Of new things.
Senator Plat is tottering under the
weight OF advancing years and i'll
health. The part played by Gov. Odel
~ Saratoga makes him appear to be
the logical successor to Senator Plat
as the leader of his party in New York.
And this would mean that he would
enter into the larger field of national
POLITICS as q factor OF great importance,
Therefore Gov Odell becomes a per-
sonage of general interest We want -
chow what manner Of man he is. OF
al those competent to give facts and
eetimates none can speak with such au-
thority as his father. Benjamin b.
Oiell, ST., has been In public life for
40 years. He Is now n years old a
hale, hearty, vigorous man, with fine
~ shaped head, a long shaven upper
Zip and patrarcha white beard. He
has always been one Of the political adj
visers Of his son, and he was at Sara
toga and, II was reported, strongly
urged the governor TO keep Sheldon off
the ticket
OF his now famous boy this proud
father says:
"Ben is Just the kind Of a man he
promised to be when he was a boy"
said BENJAMIN B. Odell, Sr. "He was
never brilliant and yet he always seem.
ed to do the right thing in the right
place and at the right time. But he
never made any show about It. Maybe
uiat Is why We didn't give him all the
credit he deserved.

young man to be governor Of this state
ard there is no telling where his career
VIII end. He has IL in him to FIJI am
position. If he isn't ready now he will
make himself ready when the time
comes.
