form to his recent order relative to the

SWIMMING POOL REMEDIES.
How the Boy with His Head Full if Water Was Suddenly
 Relieved. E.

"Golly, my heads full of water" said a boy at the public bath as he stood on the side of the pool and pounded his temples with his open hands.
 Put a rock on your ear," yelled a country lad who was treading water in the middle of the pool. "Thatll draw out the water"
 The city youth tried piece of brick that was lying in the corner of dress Ing room, but 1t did no good Recipes tor drawing out the water were hurled from all parts of the room.
 Here, I'll show you how to get it out. said a boy who had been making spectacular dives and was therefore competent to prescribe. Here, now stand on your right leg and put your left foot on your right knee. Now hold your nose in your left hand and your left ear with your right hand Shut your eyes and hop"
 The boy with the water in his ears followed directions and began to hon dangerously near the side of the pool. The boy who was trying to cure the patient suddenly pushed the hopping boy into the pool. He fell sprawling and hit the water with a big splash.
 He came to the surface smiling. Its put" he said, Out it's a bum way to get rid of the water"

Jacques
THE YOUNG WIFE.o

That the great body of theater-goers loves the melOdrama visit to the Jacques any afternoon or evening this week will be sufficient to prove to the sceptical minded. Every performance of "The Young Wife" which the Poli stock company has given has been at tended with remarkable attendance and extraordinary enthusiasm. The play is an excellent type of melodra- matic offering, filled with excitement, comedy and love interest. The sus- pense which is created in the first act is admirably sustained until the, last and the denouement is only sprung just at the curtains fall. Grace Hay ward is making the most of part which does not afford great possibili- ties and her work in the emotional scenes is, splendidly done. Earle Sim mons also has a role that is not over conspicuous in the earlier acts, but the last two give him occasion to dis play his abilities in no mean fashion. Lorraine Dreux plays the part of an ingenue with much charm and the all important persOnages in melodrama, the seravnts, are skilfully portrayed by Louise Le Blanc and Maurice Campbell. Friday afternoon the sou venirs will be photographs of Lucius Fairchild and next week the bill will be Bartley Campbell's greatest play My Partner" Prices are 10. 20 anJ 30 cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents ladies 10.

People That Give

There be rich folk that build libraries, there be those that found : big schools. also there are some that give themselves.
 As a certain observer says, Tt is the new spirit that walks night and day among the teeming tenements of great American cities seeking out the avery heart of poverty and helpless ness"
 Over in England the spirit walks night and day the teeming tenements of London, moves in the wretched, poverty-stricken rural hamlets. We have much of the rich growing rich CT in indifferent brutal luxury, but also the leaven of the rich searching out his miserable brother.
 In America we have been interest ed the last few months in a romance growing out of the meeting of rich ment of the engagement of member of the rich Stokes family to a penni- less Jewish girl, there has been mo- ticeable widespread interest in the personality and motives of the we'll ito-do people that devote their days to work among the poor. There are enough of them, and they are of such prominence, as to have called into existence a special term-"the pover- ty workers"
 None in this country is celebrated, both here and abroad, as Miss Jane Addams. Miss Addams, believe, is not woman of large wealth, but one possessing independent means, able to live comfortably on her income and do nothing if she should so choose. But she has given more money to the poor, for years has devoted to them her gift of unusual ability, her mar vicious energies. And from the little beginning of couple of women go. ing down to live in dirty unpleasant neighborhood, there has widened a work that many thousands are bene- lflted by. We shall not attempt a de- ,scription of the numerous activities of Hull House, but call attention to the fact that it is shrine for pill

seamy side of life, when she came to womanhood felt moved to enter seri. ously into work for those less for. tunate than herself.
 Impressed with the belief that much of the misery in great city is caused by unjust and unwholesome condi- tions," she set herself strenuously to protecting and aiding the working girls of New York and Brooklyn. To- day her big mansion is ever open to these girls. she stands their champion and adviser. The New York World makes this assertion concerning this particular poverty-worker: Miss Dreier is the first young woman in New York of wealth and high posi- tion to identify herself with the trades union cause. The fight she led against the swindlers and soul.de. stroying panders working upon wo. men and girls in the employment agencies was the result of, her, per. sonal contact with the victimsrn-s7b <
 Miss Dreier is an officer in the Woman's Municipal league, which se- cured the passage of the needed em. ployment agency law. And she is president of the Woman's Trade Union league. This may sound rath. CT formidable, but the young lady her. self-does not appear formidable. she is very attractive and simple in her manners, and a convincing enthusi. ast. To quote her own words: TO give ones money is. after all, but . poor way compared with the possibil- ity of being in the work itself, which enlists all ones powers. whether it be of education, of character, or of op. portunity. To feel oneself part of hu. manity. to feel that one is closely identified with the day and time and aspirations of ones people. to work together in the struggle for a finer ethical development. is a joy than which there is none greater"

grims. from far and near, that Chica- go has nothing better to offer wis., itor than day at Hull House, which speaks to him differently than most of Chicago's show-places.
 In appearance Miss Addams Is . quiet, unobtrusive sort of woman, but her big eyes show depth of thought and sympathy, their glance is humorous and questioning as we'll as kindly. Long ago, when student at the little college in Rockford, Illinois, Jane Addams was regarded as . so- cial power. girl that drew people to her by reason of the magnetism of humanitarianism, kindly feeling for others. We call it altruism, today. this greatness of heart: and while some think the distinguished lady too much of a specialist. those that know her best call the term misleading.
 A brave lady is Jane Addams, and one that hits straight from the shoul- der. hits hard. She gets up,in church and lecture hall. and. looking on dreamily into space. in her clear voice utters words as denunciatory of her auditors as ever were hurled by prophet or priest She tells college students that they are selfish. their learning futile. She invites to her house men of opposite faiths, and weighs their creeds. She calmly goes her way through evil report and good report-for some there be. you know, that call her mischievous. one that meddles with matters that must be settled by capital and labor. no inter- mediary. Her problem is not simple. is much more complex than the old alms-giving and alms-receiving. It is . study of causes of misery, an ef- fort to attack the root of evils.
 But Jane Addams is q muchloved woman, Her Catholicity draws about her all the varying clements that are striving to be American over there on South Hslsted street she has e. tzblishei home that fs . generously hospitable center to 90 many dazed foreigners groping to adapt them selves to the mysterious new land On this longest street in the great. sprzvling town. there is no influence co beneHcent and wonderful as that of Hull House

PRIMROSE MINISTRIES.

A rehearsal of the George Primrose minstrels was held at Polls theater last evening and fair audience was present to take part in the opening of the theater for this season. The min strels have scarcely any new features of merit unless 1t is the so-called mu- sical fete which concludes the first part. This was really very funny, made so by the antics of Vic Richards as the leader of the band. There were a few new songs and two or three good singers. Primrose, himself, has not deviated much from his old style, either in his personal contributions to the entertainment or in his company of clog dancers. Some of the jokes were far fetched and in one or two spots the minstrels savored of smut As whole the performance was not a satisfactory one.

Dreier family of Brooklyn are people
 that give generously of both wealth
 and personal effort toward the better. ing of conditions in this bungle of un. equal distribution of wealth. Miss
 Margaret Dreier's father was a rich
 steel merchant, provided his family with great house to live in, moneys to spend on practically unlimited lux. uries. But the family chose to share the comforts and luxuries. When the father died the mother gave as a me morial to him recreation house for women and children The daughter, who had been brought up in an at- mosphere of giving rather than hoard. ing, and whose visits among the poor had early taught her something of the
