CAREER OF MRS. CHADWICK
Incidents in Early Life of fhe Famous
Woman


In the history Of "frenz.ed finance"
IN this country, ard in tie entire
world for that matter. no case the
equal OF that Of Mrs Chadwick has
ever been known. Recent disclosures
have startled financiers and business
men everywhere. How this woman,
apparently alone. outwitted shrewG
bankers and hard-headed business men
and borrowed fortunes on mythical Sc
curities and bogus notes seems almost
beyond comprehension, but it seems
only TOO frue.

Of her victims suspected she was any

self to- be. an extremely wealthy
woman. Then as the news Of her sew
eral transactions became public the
history Of her life gradually became
known, and a most strange and inter
esting story It is. It is said she be-

Ontario, as Elizabeth Bigley, in 1857.
Afterwards she was known as Louise

Chadwick was one Of It's customers at

her esteem and regard. This bill was
settled In cash.

HABITS CHAIN.
Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed
and Hard to Break.

An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount OF will power neces-
sary to break lifelong habit would,
If it could be transformed, lift a
weight of many tons
1t sometimes requires a higher de-
gree OF heroism to break the chains Of
a pernicious habit than to lead a for
lorn hope in bloody battle. A lady
writes from an Indiana town:
From my earliest childhood l was
lover Of coffee. Before was out

I was convinced that it was coffee

Buys Store Full of Toys.
Just before Christmas several years
ago. Mrs Chadwick walked into a
Cleveland toy store and pulled out a
written list that, according to the store
officials. was two yards long Nothing
but toys was on the list, and when Mrs
Chadwick had finished buying. her bill
was in the neighborhocd of $500. Dolls
galore were bought, Mrs. Chadwick
saying that she wanted something like
100. the price to range from one to
three dollars each. Personally she
made no selections. leaving that to the
clerks who waited on her, but when
the bill was presented il was paid at
once. The toys were distributed among
the orphan asylums and he different
children's wards in the hospitals and
many a heart was gladdened that
Christmas by the benevolence of the
unknown person, as Mrs. Chadwick ex-
pressly stipulated in buying the goods
that the recipients must not knoY
where they came from.
Such, it is said, is a brief history Of
the mysterious woman whose audacity
has staggered the whole financial
world The suit filed by Mr. Newton
has led to the unfolding of the mystery,
and but for it she might still be con-
tinuing her operations.
