Her friends have known for some time
that the talented author OF Little Lord

Mrs Townsend entered DIR. #. Whit

WILL RECOVER.
Needle Removed From Stomach
Of a Warwick Girl.

Miss Leonie Jodoin. a novitiate in a
Catholic convent at Flushing, l.. l., up
to three months ago, has been saved by
medical skill from slow death.
She was attacked by hemorrhages
shortly after entering the convent and
exhibited many of the symptoms Of con-
sumption. "a she was steadily losing
strength it was thought best for her TO
return TO her parents home at Jericho,
in the town OF Warwick, where she ar
rived early in January, in what was be-
lieved to be dying condition.
Several physicians mindstered to her
but without affording relief. until last
week, when one medical attendant no.
tlced that Miss Jodoin complained OF
severe pain in the stomach, Upon exam
ination he detected a hard lump, indi-
eating the presence OF some foreign SUBJ
stanc I'm that organ.
An operation was determined upon, and
a common sewing needle Ia inches long
was extracted from the young woman's
stomach. Miss Jodoin is now considered
out of danger
There is not the slightest doubt in the
mind OF the attending physician that the
tiny bit OF steel was the cause OF the girls
illness. nor that its removal will be fol-
lowed by her recovery.

TO histrionic honors. Mr.. Sothern, how
ever, has won the animal over the candy
bribes, and finds welcome saddle at
every performance.
A peculiar situation presented itself one
evening at the Garden theatre in New
York that had not been noticed before
even at rehearsals.
About 1880 the horse was being led 10
the stage when IL evidently changed its
mind and stuck half way In the stage
door. refusing to bulge either way. The
man in charge did not seem to under
stand the animals eccentricities and AZ
was necessary TO telephone the stable and
find out what would be the best TO do
in the dilemma The answer was, Get
a lady to lead him to the wings"
While he had a prejudice against actors
he was particularly partial TO actresses.
The fact was he had been lady's pet
and Il had not been noticed that on pre-
vious occasions the court beauties and
extra ladies had been making their en-
frances at the moment this admirer of
the fair sex passed the stage portals. One
of the prettiest OF the court ladies was
at once delegated to lead the animal into
the theatre every evening.
Thus the chief lady in waiting TO the
queen Is also master OF the horse.
