AN OBJECTIONABLE TERM.
His Wife Was Particular as to Ills
Manner of Referring to Her,
Then She Found Out.

was twirling her glasses, ito hear a

has occasion to refer 10 the lady who
lowered herself by accepting his ring
at the altar, he should speak Of her as
Mrs. Smith or Mrs. Jones' as the
case may be. I'd like to hear my nus
band mention me as his wife! think
he would limit himself to just thai
once!"
"And yet" said the little lady with
the rather timid manner, ut seems 10
me that a man might do worse than
sneak OF her as his wife. When your
husband was over at our house the
night before last, Mrs. Frithington, he

'Well, OF course, some women are
so constituted that they prefer to be
regarded as inferior beings, and where
a case Of that kind exists it may DC

take it for granted that he IS her pro-
prietor. But you didn't hear John
Frithington refer to me as his wife,

mo; when he spoke OF you he mere

Some Of John Frithington's friends
seem to think that his wild, hunted
look is of late more in evidence than
usual.

And the wind went moaning bv.

Little bird, why must you die?''
The arrow never a whisper heard,
But a cloud rose in the sky,
And never a muscle the warbler

MODERN
SKYSCRAPERS
Stood the Baltimore Fire Test Even
in $500 Degrees of Heat.
(Fireproof Magazine

Advance sheets of The Fireproof
Magazine give the result of visit
by body of experts, made to deter
mine the effect of the recent fire here
on the modern steel structure. The
report says in part:
cit is found that the reports first
sent out regarding the destruction of
the skyscraper buildings of Baltimore

main standing in every case practical

UNI of expense for repairs upon the

considered the highest type of fire.

Continental stood IN the very center
Of raging furnace of heat and flame,
and D. II. Burnham. the architect of
the building, after walking upstairs
from the first floor to the roof, six
teen stories above, reports that the
steel, floor arches, main partitions,
etc, with slight exceptions, remain
perfectly intact The engineers re-
port that the steel construction is in
tact in every respect, and every part

being the complete destruction of all
the ornamental and marble work,
wooden floor strips. glass and fix
lures. Even the Turing tile over
the openings of the main windows on
the banking floor, where the fire was
fiercest, was found to be in perfect
preservation, while the east iron null
lions in these openings are wildly
distorted by heat.
Some idea of the terrifice test
to which this building was subjected
may be had from observing that the
typewritng machines on the various
floors which were found, were fused
into molten masses. The experts es-
innate from this that the heat must
have been approximately $500 de-
grees Fahrenheit, as that tempera-
ture is required to melt cast iron.
"While the committee of experts
were examining the structure of the
Continental building, the United
Street Railways company's officials
were engaged in lowering over 1000
tons Of silver money, which was
found safely stored on the tenth

Rheumatism is the most stubborn of
all painful diseases.
Athlophoros is a positive remedy
for Rheumatism, because it removes
the cause by eliminating the excess of

of Uric acid in the blood. Athlophoros

BEN HUR
The Inspiration That Caused Gen
eral Lew Wallace to Write It.

Few people know that it was the
famous agnostic, Robert G. Ingersoll,
who caused the writing of the novel
"EBen Hur,'' the stage version of
which has proven an absolute SEN
sation, not only in this country but
in England and Australia. 1t came
about through a chance meeting of
the two famous men on a railroad
journey, when Christianity became
the subject of their talk. General
Wallace had always been man of
strong religious inclination; indeed
his splendid description of the APP
pearance of the Star of Bethlehem TO
the wise men of the desert had been
ance.
The arguments and claims of the
great infidel were too much for the
doughty General. His senses were
charmed with the eloquence and po-
etica1 presentation of the causes of
agnosticism, but he was by no means
convinced of its truth The discus
sion made him deeply reflective and
led him to enter upon a careful and
exhaustive study of the life of the
Nazarene. The result of this re-
search and General Wallace's an
swer to Ingersoll was "Ben-Hur,'
work which has been more widely
read than any other printed volume
save the Sacred Book of Scripture.
The placing of "Ben-Hur' on the
stage in dramatic form was attend
ed by many interesting circumstan-
ces. General Wallace had strenu-
ously opposed any dramatization of
his immortal work, Notwithstanding
that the late Lawrence Barrett and
many other noted thespians made the
request. The author had always be-
lieved in the theatre as an elevating
influence for good, but he was una
BILE to see how the main incidents of
his book could be put into dramatic
form without violating the firmly
grounded principles of all who be-
lieve in the Christian religion.
Finally, Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger
hit upon a plan which would be per-
fectly effective and yet treat the sub
ject with all possible respect. They
conceived the idea of simply sug-
costing the presence of the Saviour
by a shift Of pure white light of re-
markable brilliancy. This suggestion
appealed to the general and led to
the business arrangement which has
been SO substantially satisfactory to
both writer and manager.
Ben-Iur' will be presented at
the Victoria Theatre, Dayton, Ohio,
for a period of six nights, beginning
Thursday, February %, and termin-
ating Wednesday, March 2. with
matinees on Saturday and Wednes-
day.
The sale of seats for the "Ben-
Hur' engagement will open on Mon
day, February %. Special attention
will be given to mail orders in the
order received, when accompanied by
a remittance and a self-addressed
stamped envelope for reply. All re-
quests for seats should be addressed

Theatre, Dayton, Ohio.
The Dayton & Western Traction
Company have made arrangements to
run ears to accommodate persons
wishing to attend from this city.
