LONG HOURS FOR NURSES.
Trained Servitors of the Sick Some

Without Sleep.

at always makes me smile to
hear men talk about their long

lates the Philadelphia Record. "If
by any possible chance a man has
not had his clothes off for "a hours
you never hear the end of it, un.
less perhaps the occasion has been
an all-night poker game or some.
thing of the sort which he isn't so
apt to talk about. But ordinarily
he makes a great fuss over his
long hours, particularly if due to
stress of work or some unexpected
duty. Now a trained nurse, even
though one of the generally ac4
cepted weaker SEX thinks moth

going three or four days and
nights without once closing her

typhoid fever case on a Thursday,
and on the following Wednesday
the patient died. In all that time

hours Sunday afternoon and two
hours Monday night. On rare oc-
casions ! have gone even longer
than that without any sleep at all.
OF course, we try to make up for it
afterward, but it's a good bit like

McClure's midsummer fiction num-
Der for August is simply marvel
of modern magazine making. In
past years McClure's has made a
great record with it's fiction num-
bers, out the issue this year sur
passes all others. In both text and
illustration it fixes the standard Of
excellence. The stories without ex-
ception, are gems of their kind and
serve admirably to illustrate how
far the American short story has.
been perfected.
The number opens with a novel;
cite of child life by Frances Hodg-
son Burnett, whose "Little Lord
Fauntleroy" has been generally
voted the most wonderful child sto-.
ry ever written. This is the story
of little girl, and to 1t Mrs. Bur
nett has brought all the charming
fancy of her earlier efforts. 1t is
most beautifully and sympathetic
ally illustrated in colors by Jessie
Wilcox Smith.
In the short stories of this number
the Mcclure Fiction writer's appear
to the best advantage, with col
lection OF rafting stories, rafting
Ily told. "a Tempered Wind" by
o. Henry, is concerned with the hu-
morous experiences of two country
takers on Wall Street; how they
protected the "shorn lambs" and
went back to ian honest living"

Scared to Death.

DR.. Francis w. Mcnamara, Of
Chicago, says: Millions of people
are made wretched every year or,
perhaps, have their lives shortened,
by feeling that they have heart
disease. They have a pain in that
region, and their own diagnosis is
sufficient to convince them of the
malady. AS a matter OF truth,
there is seldom any pain from heart
disease. The trouble is indigestion
only. The stomach, lying just
under the heart, is distended to a
painful degree by gases, and,
crowding toward the heart, makes
the pain seem to be in that organ.
This opinion simply confirms the
claim of DR.. W. B Caldwell, who
originate the formula OF Syrup
Pepsin, the guaranteed cure for
indigestion and constipation. All
druggists sell it, but be sure to ask
tor DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

CONDEMNED TO Eat Jam.

During the voyage of the Graf
Waldersee, which arrived here to.
day, several cabin passengers com.
planned to Capt. Krech that some
one had been robbing them Of
sweetmeats. A watch was set and
a little haired girl was
caught busily engaged in eating
the contents of a jar of Jam that she
had found in the storeroom.
Capt. Krech, who, on his ship,
like all other captains, is Judge,
jury and Court of Appeals, listened
to the charges with a stern look.
Besides learning that the little girI
had taken the jam, he also learned
that her father and mother were
poor and could not provide any
sweetmeats for her. When the case
had been presented Capt. Krect
pronounced her guilty.
This is a very serious case

$4,000 JEWS
Fighting In the Russian Army In
MaHchuria.

ST. Petersburg, July 21 Rabbi
Drabkln, IN an interview had with
him by the Associated Press cor.
respondent asserted that there were
$4,000 Jews lighting 10 the Russian
army in MaDchuria. The Rabbi
calls attention TO the fact that when
Jews fall in battle their burial is
different from that which occurs
when death results in other ways.
The Talmudic law requires that
those who fall in battle shall be
buried IN their blood. Therefore,
the bodies of such are not placed in
shrouds, but are inferred in their
clothes.
Although JEWS soldiers can Off
ciate at such burials, Rabbi Drab

EverybOdy's rIagazine, August,
1904.

That Everybody's Magazine
really has the biggest scoop" Of
the era Thos. W. Lawson's
NStory Of Amalgamated" is Abun-
dainty shown by the 6rst in&all-
mept Of the series proper which Is
10 the August number. The fore
word was portentious with promise
Of startling disclosures. The initial
chapters introduce the secret or.
ganization of Standard Oil and its
actual master, who is person also
unknown to the public. It is a
" 'derful picture Mr. Lawson gives
OF the huge business m achIne which
has its headquarters at % Broad
way, New York, and he paints, tor
the first time in his real-colors,s-the
man he declares to be the greatest
business genius of the period, Henry
H~Rogers. Then, with brutal d.
rectness, he describes how in d.
viding the profits of the Amalga-
mated deal.the biggest financleEs in
Wall Street were tfScked and de-
ceived like the veriest crowd of
tyros. tits said the most seusa-
tional instance of the double cross
in modern finance.
The usual power and yNidness Of
Mr.. Lawson s writing would attract
attenlon to subject matter less i'm
portant than the tremendous ffnah
cial tragedy he has set out to give
to the world. And il is impossible
not to be impressed by the earnest
ness of the man in depicting the
methods of the great monopoly.
His disclosures can hardly fail to
create a sensation which, as the
other installments appear, will be
full OF menace to the fragrant Jug
CLING with money and honor which
apparently goes on in financial
centres. Under the stimulus Of
these extraordinary articles the
July edition of Everybody's, 300,-
900, was sold out few days after
issue, gain of $4,000 over the pre-
ceding month. The issue for Au-
gust. generally the dullest month
in the magazine world, is 100000
copies.
The interest of the August num-
Der of this magazine, however, is
not confined to Mr.. Lawson's arti-
Gle. 1t is most attractive issue,
full of readable articles and light
and entertaining stories. Vance
Thompson presents some captivat-
ing pictures of the leader of Paris
ian society, the Duchess dues;
another brilliant writer, Charles e.
Trevathan, describes the fastinat-
ing life of Saratoga IN the racing
season. Lindsay Denison tells
several amusing political expert
ences in Campaigning by Special
Tram. a fiery personal and inter.
estlng study of Theodore Thomas,
by Charles E. Russell, is particu-
larly worth reading.
There are seven short stories
the longest, by Macmillan Foster,
capital picture of Hungarian chill
dren in the coal regions of Pennsyl-
vania. o. Henry contributes one
his inimitable Central American
comedies. There is a diverting
society comedy by Justus Miles
Forman, and charming love story
by Emily Watson The second in.
stallment of Hall Gaines 1.-The
Prodigal Son" shows that in re-
turning to the field of his early
triumphs the Manx novelist has
