THE PUTNEY COLUMN.
In Memoriam Frances Eager Baker.

Fitted by natural gifts and by the Gull
ture of her mind for a different sphere,
this woman chose to live in a quiet New
ENGLAND town, and to find in her home,
in her neighborhood and in the commu-
nifty the field for the exercise of her rare
gifts of mind and heart. Living for more
than a half century under the same
roof and within the same environment
occupied largely with the trivial round
the common task she wrought through
them as few have done that finest minis
try 1t is given to woman only to exercise
in this world. The humbest tasks that
fell to her hand she dignhed by the
large mind in which she did them. She
made her daily work and the countless
service she rendered to others the express
sion of a spirit so kindly, of a will so
ready for every good deed, of a nature
So generous in its thought of others, that
one could feel that there were large re-
serves of kindness only waiting for new
occasions to bring them out.
Nothing could discourage her good will
to all; nothing could battle her intent
to be somehow helpful to all about her.
Hers was a friendship as constant as her
New England hills. No one who trusted
her good will was ever deceived or dis
appointed in that confidence. The re-
cord of her life is one of rarest unset
lishness.
OF the many traits OF TINS rare woman,
perhaps the most conspicuous were her
serenity of mind, her patience and forti-
tude her splendid self control. She had
her full share of the trials and sorrows
of this life, but she met them with an un-
hinching courage, and bore them abso-
lutely without a complaint or a murmur.
1t was the habit of her life to hide from
others the things that tried and panied
her most She kept the sunshine for
others. The vigil of her dark hours she
would keep alone: she would drink her
cup of bitterness and woe, and shed her
tears where only her God might note
them.
She lived. far past the allotted term of
years, one of the rarest of womanlxind
in her life unknown. in her passing UNI
needed by the great world; but in that
circle where knowledge is truest and
where love and honor count for most
she will keep her place, and those CRATE
ful hearts will not suffer her memory
to fade. ]. E. r.

HALE AND HEARTY
A VERMONT FARMER WHO FEELS
YOUNG AT EIGHTY.


a fine specimen of the hardy Vermont
farmer is Joseph Chase, of Readsboro,
active and strong in body and mind at
the beginning of his eightieth year. A
few years ago an attack of rheumatism
caused the old gentleman much suffer-
ing but DIR. Williams Pink Pills cured
that and he is now enjoying unusual
health for one of four score years. When
recently interviewed, he said
Il was not confined to my bed but I
suffered great deal of pain My back
and shoulders We're lame and my arms
We're so sore that / could not get NV
coat ON without assistance. When I sat
down it was hard to get on my feet
again, and every time L raised my arm
sharp pains shot through my shoulders
Heavy farm work and exposure in all
kinds of weather probably brought Oh
the rheumatism and it was so stubborn
that couldn't seem to get rid of it.
One day | saw DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People mentioned in a
newspaper and got some. | felt better
after taking one box and took four or
five boxes altogether. They cured me
and the cure was permanent. recon-
mend DR.. Williams Pink Pills to every
one who is not well, and know of other
cases where they have given good re-
suits"
Rheumatism is II disease of the blood
and it must be treated through the blood
External applications can give no bene-
fit that will last. DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are unlike other
medicines because they act directly on
the blood and nerves. This makes them
invaluable in such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, ST. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous head
ache, the after-effects of the grip, palpi-
tation of the heart, pale and sallow COM
plexions and all forms of weakness
either in male or female. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are sold by all
dealers, or will be sent on receipt of
price, fifty cents box or six boxes for
two dollars and fifty cents, by address

scenes. It produces admirably the life of Italy in the Middle Ages. Sardou has cleverly introduced number of characters in the Divine comedy and he has followed closely the text of the poet in his presentation of the Inferno.
 All the scenes were painted nParis by the artists of the Grand opera house, who made special trips for this purpose to Pisa and to Florence, and in illustrating the visit of the poet to hell, the paintings of Gustave Dore have been followed as closely as pos sible. All the members of Sir Henry Irving's London company have accom- panied him on his present tour of America, and will appear in their orig inal roles when "Dante'' is given here. Sardou, who devoted many years to the study of the life of the Italian poet, has woven an interesting story around the most exciting incidents in his pictur- esque career. The play has been adapt ed by Laurence Irving, the son of the English tragedian, who will appear in one of the leading roles.
 Sir Henry Irving has always been noted for his elaborate and artistic productions, and the presentation of Dante" is the largest undertaking with which he has been associated during his long career as an actor manager in London,
