GLAD TO PAY FOR SYMPATHY
Ennuied Rich Woman I(lo Thought
1t Cheap at SIS Per Hour.

Washington Post: when DR.. Pills
went abroad, said the young physician,
"he left me in charge of his practice,
and opposite one address in his book
he made a mark won't say what it
was-but it meant that was to call at
that house every day without fail. I
naturally expected to find the case a
serious one, but owing to another mark
beside the name learned that nothing
in the world was amiss with the patient.
1T was a woman, and she lives in
a handsome house in the best quarter
of the town. She has a husband who
is wrapped up in his business, and two
grown IONS who have their W affairs
to attend to. I found her In bed, her
elderly face topped by a coquettish in
valid's cap. A lace shawl lay about
her shoulders, and a silk quilt was
spread carefully over her.
Every time I went to see her found
her in a different toilet. Even the quilt
was never alike two days in succession.
There was absolutely nothing the mat
ter with her but what | may call heart
ennui. She was rich. but she hadn't

to see me come in.
1T pleased her to be able to talk
about herself to somebody who would
listen. She gained in her own estima-
ton from having her pulse felt every

"Of course she was silly. and selfish,
too. but if her th~ick-headed family had
only thought of fattering her. of max
ing of her. of treating her with any

tional kindness, she'd eve have fan

as it is, she pays IS a visit for the

The self-Sustaining Prodigal.

They had waited a long time for the
return of the prodigal. At last he came.
After appropriate greetings his father
said. rather sadly for so glad an oc-
casion:
MY son, I'm very sorry, but we have
no fatted calf to mark your return.
Neither a | afford to buy one, having
of late fallen upon evil days"
Il feared as much" replied the son,

way up and ordered the best fatted calf
he had. There it comes now" and on
looking out they beheld two strong
butcher men struggling in with the
largest and latest calf they had ever
seen.
This fable, simple though it may be,
shows how even a prodigal may sue
coed by the strict application of modern
business methods. -Lippincotts.

WON A WIFE AND 81, 10000 o

New York World: When James C.
Greenway struggled valiantly against
the victorious Princeton football team
in 1899 he won the greatest victory Of
hrs life.
He won a bride and 81, 200, 900.
The wedding took place at Pittsburg
last week and was worthy of the ro-
nance.
The bride was Miss Harriet Miller
Lauder, a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Lauder of Pittsburg. Mr.. Green
way didn't know that she was to have
a million. Neither did she. That was
Andrew Carnegie's wedding gift to his
niece.
James c. Greenway is a real Green
way and that means much A real
Greenway has a standing in college
athletics like a real Poe. They do things.
His brother, John C. Greenway, es-
tablished a reputation at Yale that is
likely to last as long as college ath-
letics endure. Then he made an even
greater reputation as n of Roose-
velt's rough riders.
James came along and proved him
self a better and all-around athlete
than John.
OF course, being a Greenway, James
went in for football. He made the var
sity team and played right tackle in
1898 and 1899.
This didn't content him. He went in
for rowing as well, and he made the
crew. 1t is extremely difficult for a
man to make both, because they over
lap in a measure, and they do not leave
any too much time for one to keep up
,rith hic Ct,liaC II &c ohcn1ttalr Non
essary for a student to keep up his work
in his classes nowadays.
He also went in for baseball, and end
ed up his athletic achievements by win
ming a place on the track team.
When the Cuban war broke out DIR.
John Greenway straightway applied to
Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt for per-
mission to join the regiment. He was
then in practice in New York and was
beginning to make a name for himself.
Colonel Roosevelt was mighty glad to
have DR.. John, and made him assistant
surgeon, with the rank of lieutenant.
James c. Greenway was then a student
in Yale, and mighty interested in foot
ball, having made the team. but he was
more interested in fighting, so he, too.
applied to Colonel Roosevelt. He was
accepted also, and the brothers went to
the Cuban war together, and both won
distinction.
After the regiment was mustered out.
DR.. John Greenway went back to his
practice in New York and James re-
turned to Yale to finish his education.
He again made the football team, being
given his old place as tackle. And he
played a smashing good game. That
was one of the years when the Blues
suffered defeat at the hands of Prince
ton, the Tigers winning by a score of
II to 10. but Greenway's work stood
out boldly and ever so many people
talked about it.
But the impression made upon the
Yale men and the Princeton men and
all the spectators was as nothing to
the impression which James C. Green
way made upon Miss Harriet Miller
Lauder. She is a Pennington girl who
has travelled much.
She wanted to meet the young giant,
and as soon as he saw her he was very
anxious to know her. The young peo-
pie fell in love at first sight, but they
waited four years before they married.
The wedding took place in Pittsburg
on May 20.

FOUR MONTHS OLD AND TALKED

Claiming (Texas) Courier: Strange,
indeed, are the facts connected with the
short life of the infant child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Will Fechner of Houston. The
child at birth displayed extraordinary
traits. 1t never cried and exhibited an
observation and mental understand
ing and development that was almost
terrifying in a babe. At A months this
prodigy of intellect could talk plainly
and makes its wants fully known. But
its little frame began wasting away.
The physicians who were called in
shook their heads gravely and said to
the parents, you will never raise the
child. The mind is too powerful. The
mental weight is sapping the physical
strength" They proved to be true
prophets. In a few days time the child
was dead. Before its death. the news
of its wonderful p%recocity being noised
about, many people came to see for
themselves the talking baby, and went
away filled with awe and wonder. 1t
was weird, almost uncanny, this thing
of an infant in %swaddling clothes speak
ing plainly, and gazing upon the spec
cerned a depth of intelligence beyond
all ordinary calculation. AS the child's
life was strange, so was its death pecul-
lar. Several days ago a fierce electrical
storm swept over Houston. Just as the
roar of the storm came, at that very
instant the child. with a murmur, calm
ly and painlessly went forth into the
great silence of eternity.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications as they cannt. reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
IL by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this nj restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous

GREAT WHIRLWIND OF WATER
Interesting Facts Regarding a Fa-
nous Waterspout.

st. Nicholas for August: These local
%whirlwinds, of great energy, are usually
formed within thundrstorms. You
know or have read of the funnel-shaped
cloud hat passes along at the rate of
say 20 to 40 miles an hour with deafen-
ing, roaring noise.
This gigantic upward whirlwind
takes up trees by their roots, tears
houses to pieces, and scatters the frag-
ments for miles. Children, and even
grown-up people are taken up into the
air and carried long distances, falling
at last so violently as to cause instant
death, or at least very serious injuries.
In such land of tornadoes the de-
struction is so terrible that it makes
what is known as a path" of devasta-
ton. People within this path can, of
course, know but little of the appear
ance of the cloud overhead or of the APP
pearance between cloud and earth, but
there are many descriptive accounts
from people who have been at a safe
distance. Such observers tell of the
funnel-shaped cloud and the whirling,
twisting, writhing spout Of the fun
nell" that reaches down to the ground,
sweeping or taking up nearly every
thing, forming the path as it passes
along. A tornado at sea is called a wa
terspout. and then it indeed is a funnel,
for it is one tubular column of water
and vapor, that is drawn in from the
surrounding atmosphere or from the
sea. 1t is generally admitted that in at
least the outer part of the spout the
water and vapor are going upward in
violent whirling motion. One observa-
ton has led scientists to think that
there is in the center Of water and va
por the spout moving downward. There
are also differences of opinion as to
whether the water on the outside is
wholly fresh from the falling rain and
surrounding vapor or at least partly
salt from the water of the sea.

was that a mother-in-law was not al

"SWEARING OFF,"
New Year Resolutions Not 4 Prope1
Subject for Ridicule-A Sensible
and Helpful Custom.

The idea that New Years resolutions
are proper subjects for ridicule and
that the act of "swearing off" is in it.
self merely huge joke seems to be en-
tertained by certain persons of ia
cetious spirit. However, it is proper to
inquire whether the would-be humor-
lists and their treasured joke should
not be suppressed for the benefit of
those who have some aim in life worth
striving for. AS a result of years of
questionable humor about New Years
resolutions, the theory has taken lodg-
ment in many minds that anyone who
makes a worthy resolve at the first of
the year is, according to the merry ira
dition, foredoomed to failure. He be-
comes the butt of the first playful yo-
KEEL who happens along, for no other
reason than that he proposes at the
first of the year to pause and take &C.
count of his progress, that he may en-
deavor honestly and manfully to mend
his ways.
Nothing could be more sensible, more
helpful or more in keeping with the
conduct of a wise and self-reliant man
than that occasionally he should make
reckoning of his accounts, to find
out just where he stands and which
way he is tending. For several rea-
sons New Years day affords the best
possible time for this annual balancing
of the books. It is the time when busi-
ness men and men in various profess
sions take general survey of the situ-
alton to see whethe they have profited
or suffered by the policy of the twelve
month. The period is plainly marked
in memory. and at it's close most men
can ascertain better than at any other
time of the year just wherein they have
been wise and where they have made
mistakes. It is the time, too, when
very naturally the person of sense de-
cides that the mistakes shall not be
repeated and sets himself to work with
what strength of resolution there is in
him to quit the follies or avoid the er-
rors which have hindered him in the
past.
It 10 time that the effort to reduce
New Years resolutions to the subject
Of gu6aw should be suppressed The
man who resolves on New Years day
that he is going to do better. making
the beginning Of the year his starting
point, merely shows that he is gifted
with common sense and proper ambi-
ton. All the cheap waggery in the
world can't alter the worthy character
OF his act or wholly deprive it Of tho
benefits which it promises to him.
