A dying patient RECEIVERS through the
i~nterposition of an humble German.
Chicago, Nov. 10.
Some weeks ago DR.. G., a very re-
putable and widely-known physician,
living on c. street, was called to
attend a very complicated case of
rheumatism. Upon arriving at the
house he found a man o forty
years of age, lying in a Frustrated and
serious condition, with his whole frame
dangerously affected with the painful
disease. He prescribed for the pa
tient, but the nan continued to grow
worse, and on Sunday evening he was
found to be in a very alarming ondi-
ton. The knees and elbows and larger
joints were greatly inlamed, and could
not b. moved 1t was only with ex-
IRENE difficulty that the patient could
be turned in bed, with the aid of three
or four persons. The weight of the
clothing was so painful that means had
to be adopted to keep it from the pa
tents body.
The doctor saw that his assistance
would be of no avail, and left the
house, the members of the family fol-
lowing him to the door, weeping. AL
most Immediately the grief stricken
ones were addressed by an humble
German. He had heard. of the despair
AAnr A
try his remedy, and accordingly
brought forth a bottle of st. Jacobs
Oil. The poor wife applied this rene
dy. The first application eased the pa
tient very much; after a few hours
they used it again, and, wonder of
wonders, the pain vanished entirely!
Every subsequent application improved
the patient,a nd in two days he was
well and out. When the doctor called
a few days after, he was indeed sur
prised.

AMERICAN GIRL ON STAGE.

Ellen Terry Says She Is Too Inn

The menace to an American actress

distinction. You cannot force the

encourage it, nourish 1t, If you will. but
you cannot successfully force 1t. II
sweetness, just as does dollhouse fruit.
repeat, the growth OF art is slow. and
ii Is still.
1t is not remarkable, however that
an American woman, brought up in Il
world of haste, where events, from
those of the household to those of the
national capital and of the great trade
centers, move with incredible swift
ness, applies the methods of her own
training to her special art.
This temptation is. perhaps, nowhere
else so strong as upon the stage. To
enter any other profession II woman
has, perforce, to go through careful
training, often years of training. To
be an artist, a musician. or a sculptor,
she must have instruction and long
practice before she thinks of submit
ting her work for public approval, but
the woman who wishes to be an actress
feels great inner conviction that she
is born 50, and that sentiment arranges
the matter to her own evident satisfac-
ton. Thenceforth, all she longs for Is
opportunity.
Chance may discover an actress, as 1t
may crown king; but 1t can make
neither. The actress must make her.
self by long, thorough and patient
work, laid upon foundation of strong
natural ability. 1t Is well to avoid plat,
itudes in advising a young woman who
hopes to conquer on the stage. When
she is told to work. she usually feels
that the one advising fails to under
stand her special case and how really
wonderful is her gift Neither man
nor woman lives by platitudes alone,
but l am OF opinion that both could
live better II they listened and needed
Oftener that platitudinous word

How often one has heard all these:
Patience, enthusiasm, capacity for in.
finite detail, unceasing application,
courage, the power to put to ones In.
divldual uses all adverse criticism.
every woman who Is out in the world,
engaged In honest work, has heard
them many times-I had almost said,
until she is weary; but that is just the
point She must not be weary Of think,
ing to herself, every day. of these car.
dinal words and phrases, for they mark
the confines of her kingdom. Against
all these the American spirit of haste
militates.-EllenT Terry, In Success

Charles III adopted "thc ucckclOth,'
or cravat. with ends OF lace. The style
was an expensive one. TO judge from a
royal entry OF cost-"f20 10 shillings
for cravat to be worn on the birthday
Of my dear brother" This outlay
seems to justify an early definition Of
the word "cravat"-namely, "A hand
some, gracious, new-fashioned gour-
get"
Linen as a fabric for neckwear came
into use very tardily, considering its
antiquity and that 1t was ever at hand
for experiment 1t would seem that,
though the rich wore the fabric with
their purple and though saints were re-
puted to wear 1t In heaven, common
mortality did not seize upon 1t for a
practical standard collar until starch
had done Its utmost with lawn and
other half-hearted textures. 1t has the
general world this year under despOtic
rule. Since the rise of the linen collar
men have never rebelled against Its
rules; women sometimes have, but just
now they are acquiescent.-Chicago

OF about forty men and hanged to n

at about 2:30 o'clock this morning
The lynchers, who are supposed
to have come from the scene OF An
derson's alleged crime about three
miles west Of Owensboro, made their
entrance into the city quietly and
going to the jail, demanded admit
lance which was refused.
They Their battered down the
prison door and while some went to
