MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Widow of Confederate President
Lives in a Modest Way in . New
York Family Hotel.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis, the widow OF
the late leader of the southern con-
federacy, is living in little world OF
her own. She has taken up her resi-
dence in New York and for economic
reasons will probably spend the re-
nainder of her days there. She has
an apartment in the old Hotel Gerard,
in West Forty-fourth street, and lives
on the fourteenth floor. Her windows
overlook the surrounding roofs, and
only on few occasions does she ever
leave her rooms. She walks with diff
ficultx and does not have to visit, as
her friends pay court to her as if she
were l. royal parsonage. Mrs. Davis

MODERN SOCIETY WOMEN
IL 1t That Keeps Them Young
and Truly Charminxe

There were seven wonders of an
Gent history. There are seven times
seven in our own times, but the most
wonderful of all is the society wom-
an, ever young, ever beautiful, ever
graceful, charming, fascinating, and
a marvel to all beholders. She does
not grow old, she never dies. She
never loses her tact, her grace, her
beauty. Like Tennyson's book she
may say:
''For men may come and men may go.
But l go on forever
The doctors throw up their hands.
They cannot solve the riddle. The
beauty specialists shake their heads
in silent wonder. The modern So
ciety woman laughs scorn to the raw
ages Of time which lays its fingers
so heavily upon all the rest of us
more common clay. Ponce de Leon

of youth and died in despair because

Austrian Army Suicides.

Statistics of suicide in the Austro-
Hungarian army tell a dark story.
Even among the civilian population of
that empire the percentage of suicide
is high-1.o3 per 10000 inhabitants, as
against O.76 in England, though still
lower than Germany, whose percent
age is 2.1. Austrian army suicides,
however, are equal to those of any
three European armies put together.
England's army of free men does not
weary of it's own existence. The per-
centage is FOG per 10000, while in the
Austrian army it rises to 1858, even
double that of the German army, which
may be described as bad second, with
rate of 6.33.-Indianapolis News.
