A REMARKABLE
TRANSFORMATION
A YOUNG BROOKLYN WOMAN
CHANGED INTO A MAN.
STRANGE FREAK OF NATURE
Peculiar Metamorphosis Occurs at the
Age of Thirty Four and She Will
Start Life Anew in Mas
culine Role.

New York.-Miss May Best, an es-
timable woman of Brooklyn, who has
lived the life of the sex to which she
was born for "a years, has been trans
formed into a man.
Miss Best went into hospital few
weeks ago. Even then the strange
change was creeping over her and mas
culinity was assuming dominance. She
came out of the institution after an op-
Grafton some days ago, a man.
The completion of the metamorphosis
left her woman in experience and
ideas but a man in form and physical
attributes.
The necessity for new environment,
a new start in life, was impressed upon
her by Dr. Claude N Finley, the physi-
clan who had charge of the case, and she
will go to st. Louis, there to don male
attire, assume new name and fit her
self to the life which this amazing
freak of nature has necessitated.
From childhood Miss Best was a
strong robust girl, with an abnormal
fondness for the sports of boys. AS she
grew older she would have liked to play
baseball and done other mannish
things, but was restrained by a sense Of
Gelioacy.
AS a young woman she was tall, broad
shouldered and very handsome, with jet
black hair and blue eyes. She was strong,
had rather large hands and feet for a
woman, and walked with mannish
stride In spite of these things, a slight
harshness of voice and the increasing
growth of hair on her face, she never
had the slightest suspicion of the
change in life she wss undergoing. Her
ideals remained feminine; she chose
girl companions. She painted, sewed and
did all the other things that women do.
She had men friends and girl friends
and was popular with both.
Miss Best devoted herself to several
women's clubs to which she belonged.

NEW NORTH POLE HUNTER
"Musher'' Will Be There the First
When a Gold Stampede
Is Started.

There is a popular belief in the ex-
treme northwest that the north pole
will be discovered by musher, and not
by any scientific polar expedition, says
the Sunset Magazine. This belief is
based on the conviction that gold
stampede will eventually be started
toward north latitude 80 degrees. and
that the mushers will rush in where
arctic explorers have feared to tread.
So completely unknown to fame is this
newcomer in the race for the pole that
to the majority of people the name sug-
gests nothing but cereal breakfast food.
Gilbert Parker, the novelist, who
finds his most congenial theme in
French Candian life, has made his read
ers familiar with ''Marche-t ,en!" the
cry with which drivers of dog teams
urge forward their painting animals.
French Canadian trappers were among
the earliest white men in the far north
west, and American prospectors on the
Yukon soon learned to goad their dogs
en- with the same cry, without. however,
understanding the French, which, in
their mouths. was rapidly corrupted to
''Muchon!" to this day an Alaska dog
drivers equivalent for Gee up!"
Dog drivers generally rush with the
team and therefore from 'Mush-on" has
come the noun musher, used all over
Alaska and the Yukon territory to des-
ignate craftsman. The musher is gen.
orally prospector, stampeder and trails
man all rolled into one, and Alaska trails
are such uncertain quantities that he
has frequently to make his own prece-
dents over newly frozen sea and track
less snow The musher achieves most
of his stampeding to new gold fields DUR
ing the arctic winter, for then the rigid
sea becomes a highway and mighty
rivers need no bridging.

MADE APOLLO COME DOWN
Didn't Belong to the Union and the
Household Help Was "Sym-
pathetic"

The cook had struck. The coach
man had struck. The nurse had struck
The maid had struck. Everybody had
struck, relates the Chicago Record
Herald. With sickening fear, the
great man heard confused murmur
outside. 1t become louder, increasing
to a horrible din like unto that pro-
Guced by the Roman mob. He heard
his name shouted above the awful roar,
and, urged by his wife, he at last
ventured to a window.
People" he cried, why have you
struck? What do you want? have
tried to deal fairly with you. What ls
your grievance?"
The coachman, who was acting as
leader of the crowd, stepped forward,
saying:
I'VE were ordered out by the head
of the Transfers union"
What has the Teamsters' union
to do with me or the way my house
is run?"
'You have statue of Apollo in your
hall"
Eyes. 1t is one of my choicest pos
sessions. 1t is great work of art.
! am very proud of it."
"You must pull it down and have
1t thrown out of your house before we
can return to work. We have our
orders from the president of the
Transfers union"
This is preposterous. What has
my statue of Apollo to do with you
or your duties? And where does the
Transfers union come in?"
''It seems" the coachman replied
"that Apollo and Phoebus were the
same party, and it's reported on good
authority that Phoebus used to be a
non-union driver. We've got our or.
ders. We can't work for man who
sets up statue of Phoebus, the scab,
i'll the hail."
Realizing the force of the argu-
ment, the great man yielded. 1t was
the first time strikers had ever caught
him unprepared to go on with new
set of hands.

TO her church and to her charitable
work, living a life of usefulness and
endearing herself more and more to her
friends.
Miss Best was always aware of the
streak of mannishness in her, but did
not think it was any greater than had
manifested itself in many other women
whom she had seen. She did not think
seriously of the matter until few years
ago, when her beard began to grow 50
fast that it was necessary for her to
shave every day In spite of this growth
she kept her secret from everyone
save those who lived with her.
It was little over two weeks ago
that Miss Best was brought to sudden
realization of her condition. She knew
then for the first time that she was not
a woman but man. She was prostrat-
ed by the blow and consulted her physi-
clan
Dr. Finley was brought into the case.
and he had Miss Best removed to the
hospital, where an operation was per-
formed which confirmed what Miss
Best had suspected.
When the news was broken to Miss
Best she was very i'll for time. She
was told, however. that outside of the
shock she had nothing to fear, that she
could assume the sex of man freely
and without embarrassment, but that it
was obviously impossible for her to con-
tinue to live as a woman.
Miss Best left the hospital in the
clothing in which she entered and went
to her home in Brooklyn. There ar
rangements were quickly made for her
removal to st. Louis, from which point
she will make her plunge into the world
as man. Before Miss Best could leave,
however, the realization of the change
that had come over her prostrated her
again, and she has been i'll in bed ever
since.

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrual
tion is a severe strain on a woman IS
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ
ism.
More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs.
Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
full and irregular menstruation.
1t provides safe and sure way of es-
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con-
vincingly what Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes of $40 N. Davi-
sion Street, Buffalo, N. Y, writes:

days before he was pronounced dead by
the city physician, a young man just out
of college.
When the perfunctory mourners
viewed the corpse after the short serv-
ices all we're agreed that the deceased
looked natural indeed. The plain but
decent caslSet was placed in the hearse
and the rather short funeral train
moved off on its way to the cemetery,
half mile distant.
They had gone but little way, how
ever, when an automobile passed at
great speed and SO frightened the horses
that they threw the driver from his seat.
Then the animal ran up the road in
the direction of the cemetery, distanc-
ing all pursuers and leaving the funeral
train far behind.
Before reaching the cemetery, how
ever, the horses turned into Henlet
road, to the left, and soon made several
other turns so that the persons in pur-
suit did not know which way to go, and
all returned.
Half an hour later the horses, still
drawing the hearse, were seen coming
over the hill north of the town. To the
unbounded amazement of all, as the
equipage approached, it was discovered
that Porter was not dead but had been
in trance. He had recovered and was
driving the hearse back home.
The vehicle had tipped sover two
miles. from town and the shock resusci-
tated Porter, who, instantly compre-
hending the situation, had called to
some men near by to help him right the
hearse. Then, mounting the seat, he
drove back to town

that henceforth she would pass as q

makes the simple coffin, relatives and

having walked perhaps six miles to
