children, has lived over the lodging
house on Ninth street, at the foot Of
Astor street, committed suicide last
night by taking strychnine. City Ply
sician Pilkington was called and ad-
ministered the strongest antidote known

unavailing. The woman died half an
hour after taking the fatal draught.
Coroner Pohl was notified Immediately

papers and letters and personal effects
belonging 10 the unfortunate woman
were given TO the coroner's care by DR..

fingers.

only flower for man to send a wom-
an"
Carrollton laughed. The dinner had
reached the stage where general con
versation glides imperceptibly into
monologues or duets. The soft shaded
lights, the odor of flowers, tempted to
condolences.
"Then you agree with a friend of
mine who declares it is deceitful for
girl to buy violets for herself, thus
creating false impression of owning
young man." he answered lightly.
Miss Ansruthers lips curved into 4
slow smile.

suppose the sending of violets does
mean more than the gift of other flow
ers. When a man begins to associate
a girl with violets, it's usually all up
with him..

quietude creeping into her dark eyes,
glanced quickly around

seemed much more pleasure In jogging
along country roads mounted on clum-
sy farm horses and helping a girl re-
gain her strength. She looked so tiny
and dainty perched upon the big horse
that the eligible bachelor vowed to
himself that he had never seen an
equestrienne in Central park that com
pared with her.
Wouldn't it be just lovely she be-

One View of Joe Jefferson.

Of one phase of Joe Jefferson's char
acter a writer in the Outlook says:
He was interested in the lighter phi
losophies. The work of Prentice Null
ford greatly attracted him at one time.
He had had remarkable communica-
lions, as he believed, from the other
world-enough, at any rate, to convince
him that there was another world and
to make him confident that he should
see again those he loved He was
wonderful optimist, always cheerful,
always looking for the brightness of
life. He once told the Spectator that
in all his thousands of miles of travel
he had never been in railway or
steamship accident or seen one The
last letter which the Spectator received
from Mr.. Jefferson was reminiscent of
their earlier friendship and closed with
these words:
How time goes on, so needless of us ALL
What a short lived creature is man my
self excepted-by the bye, seventy-five
next birthday! In a few years we shall be
sweet little angels, wings and all, and as
the old gambler said on his deathbed,
IF we meet I'll fly you for S." Till then,
sincerely yours ]. JEFFERSON.

neighbor. Carrollton, free to let his
eye wander, fell to watching the eager,
beautiful face of a girl across the
table-a face that sparllled and chang
ed with every varying thought.
"And if she doesn't wear them?" he
unused a bit ruefully.
Miss Anstruther finished her dinner
with the consciousness of having in
all probability answered the greater
part of her companions remarks with
utter irrelevance She could only trust
that Mr.. Morris, a fluent tall1er him
self, might not have noticed. The
girls thoughts were hopelessly tangled.
Carrollton's words about violets had
startled and disturbed her. Did he real
" attach such significance to the little
flower? she had never dreamed of
such a thing and pinned on the odor-
Gus cluster before dinner with enjoy
ment of their beauty, indeed, but with
out any idea Of occult meaning to the
act But now her eyes sought him
doubtfully, little wistfully. Did 9th
er men feel that way about violets
too? She must speak to him again, but
not now
After dinner, however, the house
party scattered. Miss Anstruther felt
herself borne along to the billiard room,
while Carrolton Sat down for a rub
Der of bridge. 1t was not until some
time later that Carrollton, walking
down the hall, absorbed in worrying as
to why Ethel Wheatley had so persist
emily avoided him all the evening,
heard his name being called softly.
Turning, he found Miss Anstruther
facing him within curtained window
embrasure, her cheeks scarlet, her eyes
full of q new shyness. She was breath
ing rapidly.
Forgive me for stopping you" she
said. "But-but l wanted to tell you
something" avoiding his glance as she
spoke. 'It-it isn't announced yet,
but II am going to marry Joe Wright.
IL felt that must tell YOU" she end
ed half beseechingly. Carrollton, con-
Scious of a vague expectancy In her at
titude, hesitated.
"It's awfully good for you to let me
know" he answered. 81 congratulate
you both most heartily. Joe's a bully
chap, and mighty lucky too" he added
little awkwardly. "Of course am
to be an usher" What was 1t the girl
wanted, Carrollton wondered. He mo-
Heed that she had grown quite white.
"You-you and Joe are such friends
that l was sure you knew" she strug-
gled. Why was he making 1t so hard
for her? st was only at dinner that
began to suspect-when you spoke
about the meaning Of violets." Her
voice was unsteady. IL never dream
ed that you cared; l thought you had
sent me them because She stopped,
startled by the change in his face.
Carrollton jumped.

Among the stories which were told
by certain aged physicians Mt n reun-
ion of medical men of the zines When
surgical operations were conducted
without anaesthetics none was more
touching than the following:
A little girl not more than eight years
old was injured in such way that it
was necessary to amputate one of her
legs. She proved to be of wonderful
pluck, and instead of binding her, as
was customary in such cases, she was
given her most cherished doll to hold.
Pressing it in her arms, she submitted
to the amputation without a single cry.
When it was done the physician in
charge. seeking to brighten matters up
with pleasantly, said, And now, my
dear, we will amputate your dolls leg"
