FRENCH ACTRESS
IN GREAT ''STUNT"
NINE. REJANE DANCES THE CAN
CAN AT HYDE DINNER.
EcLlPsEs LITTLE EGYPT"
Sensational Escapade at Sherry's
Causes Stir Throughout New
York-Story Is Denied by
the Woman.

New York.--Mme. Gabrielle ReJane,
the French actress, danced the can-can
on the top of a table at the James II.
HYDE ball at Sherry's recently, II GER
tain reports of the great event can be be-
lieved.
Ever since the night Of Hyde's ball.
with Mime. Rejane as the guest OF honor,
there has been a story to this effect In
the clubs, at the restaurants, and over
FIVE o'clock tea tables. In fact, the story
of the actress escapade comes from SO
many quarters that there no longer is
any doubt of it's truth.
Stories differ as to how the episode
came about. One version has it she in
terpoliated this speciality as a sort OF
extract between the little play of her
friend, nj. Incidents, Entire DeuX
Portes." and a recitation written for the
occasion, which proved SO long it sent
some members Of King Louis gay court
half asleep.
Another version has it that the can
can episode did not take place unit
early in the morning, after everybody
had had at least one supper and a gooG
many of the more staid guests had gone
home.
All the stories agreed upon one point
and that is that Nine. Rejane did clint
on the top of the table and dance a can
can which couldn't be beaten by any pro
fessional dancer at the Moulin Rouge
In fact, she did it with so much abandon
and grace that she successfully effacet
| all recollection of Little Egypt" who
until then, held the record for this sorr
of speciality at Sherry's.
To say that this dance OF ReJane''
created a sensation is putting the fac
mildly, but as it usually happens in i'm
promptu and spontaneous episodes o
this kind, the can-can did not MAKE
nearly as great a stir at the moment a.
it did on the following day, when thu
| spectators had time to think it all ovel
in cold blood.
The can-can generally has been ia
booed at Sherry's for many seasons

Reard sweens the Ground.

Hiawatha, Kan.-Stephen Lamber-
son. of Blackhawk, Col, who is visiting
his brother, Moses Lamberson, has a
beard which reaches to the ground when
combed out. 1t is the product of more
than 50 years growth. Mr.. Lamberson
is 70 years old and is very proud of his
long, silky beard, but rather than attract
too much attention on the streets. he
braids it and keeps it coiled under his
vest. When his brother, Moses Lamber-
son, last saw him tbs beard only
reached to his knees. That was SO years
ago.

WHERE WAR STILL RACED.
Something for the Correspondents to
Do When Nations Were
at Peace.

Even at the early dawn of Utopian civ
i~lization it became evident that the era
of universal peace had arrived, says the
New York Sun. The nations discovered
that the great gun had been invented that
would send a projectile through any
armor, while, ON the other hand, the
armor had been invented that would re-
sist the attack of any gun. The submarine
boat had been tested that would destroy
any battleship, that is, if not caught by
the submarine destroyer, which in its turn
might succumb to the submarine de-
stroyer-destroyer.
Quite naturally this deplorable condi-
ton of worldwide peace frightened the
Amalgamated Conclave of War Core
spondents, whose members found their
occupation gone. Accordingly at a meet
ing the president arose and presented a
resolution for disarmament.
There are no more conflicts. Cruelty
and carnage is q thing of the past. We
might as well go into other professions"
he said.
Just then Richard Chefoo O'Higgins
arose and objected in a speech that proved
war correspondents to be still necessary.
No carnage, no conhicts!" he roared.
"Why, the editors can still send us to
write up woman's suffrage meetings, col
lege hazing and the Brooklyn bridge crush
s. ski"

ever since the famous Seeley dinner, in
fact-and so far as one can judge from
passing remarks those who witnessed
Nine. Rejane's t~erpischorean specially
say it is likely to be put away in lavender
again at Sherry's for some time.
Of all the guests at Hyde's ball who
were interviewed only one, a close per-
sonal friend of the host, was found who
would deny the can-can episode point
plank, and even he finally "hedged" to
this extent:
"Of course, it might have taken place,
but | cannot conceive how came to miss
it, unless it was that the lighting in the
ballroom was SO bad, you know"
Mr.. HYDE emphatically denied the
story that Nine. Rejane Ibid the can
can"
"Can-can, indeed" said Hyde, with
heat. "Can-can," and then Hyde's
feelings overcame him.
The comment of Nine. Rejane was
enthusiastically French.
II dance a can-can at the Hyde ball!
No. indeed" she declared, "but l would
have done so had they asked me. Ihave
no objection to dancing the can-can."
'%No, 1T is not true" Nine. Rejane said
pensfveIy. 81 don't know how it could
have happened.
"At what moment could I have danced
the caY-ean?" she asked, thinking hard.
when I recited the poem by Robert
Defers? Oh, you could not mistake 1t
for a table. Read the poem. Do you
see a chance in it for the can-can?"
"In the poem 1 am a Sylvan in pam
niers and patches. Not one verse in the
entire work gives me a chance to kick.
It was not the fashion then. You may
say what you wish about me. Anything
that you say will not offend me. But you
nay not say that l am not an artist.
az am an artist. / don't do incongru-
Gus things. The can-can would have
been incongruous."
Don't you wish it were true, thought
exclaimed a young woman, in French,
Mime. Rejane, that you could dance the
c~an-can?"
"You peevish, insuferable creature
Laughed Rejane. 81 can dance the can

Then sadness appeared in her eyes.

It IS IN THE BLOOD
Neither Liniments nor 0intments
Will Reach DEMONSTRATION
Mr.. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with infamed and aching
joints. or painful muscles; people who
shuttle about with the aid of a cane or a
crutch and cry, Oh | at every slight jar,
are constantly asking, "What is the best
thingfor rheumatism? ?"
Toeattempt to cure rheumatism by ex-
ternal applications is a foolish waste Of
time. h eseatof the disease is i'll the
blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease OH the skin the poison
in the, circulation is,increasing.
Delaysin adoptinga sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at anyimomentreach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
-snffereEsis to get the best possible blood
remedy sat once.
Mr.. S~tephenson's experience with this
obstinate and distressing safhiction is
that of hundreds. He says:
"Aboutsa year ago 1 was ATTACKED by
severe rheumatic pains i'll my left
shoulder. The pains were worse in wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. tried number
uf treatments and ointraents, hut they
failed to alleviate the pains"
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only a surface in-
dication. He adds:
Il had heard DIR. Williams Pink Pills
fer Pale People recommended as a cure
for rheumatism. and when 1 found that
Twas getting no relief from applications
I made up my mind that 1 would try
taeaa. Before the first box was gone 1
noticed that the pains were becoming
Less frequent, and that they were not SO
seyere as before. After the second box
had been used up I was entirely free
from discomfort, and Eave had no traces
of rheumatism SINCE"
The change in treatment proved by
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No.115
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass,
had found the true means for the purlh.
cation and enrichment of his blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine and lasting cures To
rheumatism. They do not merely deaden
the ache, but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by oil
druggists.
