He would manifold his items and leave

and those that used them paid 3 cents

lighted when by chance he got n posi-
ton al Il dramatic critic, with a salary
equal to $50 a week. Afterward hc
taught school, but the public was find
ing him out, and he Is now one of the
most popular writer's Of the day. Some
reviewers are of the opinion that his
story, Paul Kelver," places him in a
front rank as a novelist. His plays
have been quite remunerative, and the
royalties from Miss Hobbs" alone
have made him Independent Of routine
work. He is forty-three years of age
and has been a married man for seven

went toward his expenses in making

the secret Of his nntitoxin for diph-
iberia he was able to make money to
apply In the same way. 1t Is also urged
In explanation Of his course that he de-
sires to keep the use of the cure under
his W observation for a time in order
that confidence i'll its value may not be
impaired by premature general use.
Representatives Of the professor in
America say that the new cure will be
ready for the general public by next
August: that 1t will then be cheap, so
that any physician can obtain it. and
that special rates will be made to
philanthropic institutions and to the
poor. A wealthy citizen Of New York
has offered Professor Won Behring $780,
600 if he will the secret of his
cure ut once. He suggests that this be
made a part Of Il fund to be co%ntribut-
ed to the Paris physician. and the only
qualification to the offer is that the
treatment must first be pronounced
successful by Il committee of competent
medical men. There is talk is Paris Of
making up Il popular subscription to re-
imbursc the professor II he will make
his cure public. and 1t Is said If the
remedy Is Il success he will come into
possession Of an income Of 10000
francs from the Prix I.acave reserved
by the French academy for the con-
Queror Of tuberculosis and will also get
10000 francs set apart for the same
purpose by n wealthy Brazilian.
Professor o Rehring was born In
1854 ut llansdorf. Prussia: studied
medicine In Berlin and in 1880 became
pointed II professor ut the University
Of Halle. He was called in 1855 to be-
come director Of the Hygienic institute
ut Marburg. He Is now Il professor Of
the University Of Berlin and a personal
friend Of the kaiser and lives on a
large medical farm near Marburg.
The farm comprises some 400 acres.
and on 1t are about 400 cows and sew.
eral hundred horses and other animals.
1t IS said the enterprise requires for
Its support about 100000 year. His
experiments have already accomplished
a great deal in the direction Of eradt-
eating bovine tuberculosis. which. nc

q hearty knock on the door. The major
has made a study of door knocks in

the inquiring knock from the aggres-
sive knock, the defiant knock from the
knock of the woman seeking subscrip-
tons for charity, the knock of his
shoemaker from that of the man who
can be r0ped into a scheme. He at
once recognized this knock as belong
Ing to a guileless and innocent person,
and he called out Come I'M" without

He had had many suckers come to his

The Young King at Spain and His
search Fol- a Wife.
Young Alfonso Mi. Of Spain is still
looking for Il bride. Ills search for II
queen has been a topic of interest
among royal matchmakers for some
time. and his name has been coupled
with those Of numerous young ladies
whose blood is of deep blue tinge. In
making II match for II king n great
many things have to he taken into con-
siderntiOn that do not enter into the
problem in the case Of a young man Of
private station who seeks Il wife. The
throne Of Spain Is an ancient one. and,
though the monarchy is not so power
full now as 1t was some centuries ago,
the dOns naturally want their ruler to
mate only with a woman of proud line
age and influential family connections.
The Ill success that has attended his
quest thus far might he attributed by
superstitious people to the fact that
he is the thirteenth monarch of his
