ACTRESS IN A wHEELBARRow
New York Girl Pays Bet She Made
on Hearst for Governor.

The audience which poured out Of
the Casino in New York city one night
recently at the close of the perform
ance of The Blue Moon" stopped on
its way home to witness another
show which had not been announced
on the bills.
A wheelbarrow was drawn up on
the sidewalk close to the stage en-
trance of the Casino BY it stood two
of the ushers. Then out tripped Ar
line La Crosse, a plump and pretty
member Of the cast, followed by Helen
Chadwick, one of the chorus girls.
Both were in street costume. With
the assistance of the ushers, Miss La
Crosse climbed into the wheelbarrow
and sat down and tucked her feet IN
der her.
Three cheers for Charles f.
Hughes" cried the actress as Miss
Chadwick caught the handles and be-
gan to wheel her around the block.
The crowd followed, making joyial re-
marks.
You fit it too tight Why don't
you hang your feet out?" cried one OF
the spectators.
In making the turn into Sixth ave-
nue. Miss la Crosse was nearly spilled
out and there was a display OF hosiery.
People came out Of the restaurants
and drinkeries to see the show go by.
BY the time Thirty-eighth street was
reached several hundred persons were
marching ahead, behind and beside the
wheelbarrow.
"Oh, how fat you are!" gasped Miss
Chadwick. as she set down the handles
and stopped to get her breath at Thir-
ty-eighth street and Broadway. The
crowd sang as the wheelbarrow' pro-
ceeded up Broadway. When the stage
entrance to the Casino was reached
Miss La Crosse jumped out Of the
barrow and into a cab and vanished
T"o 10" '~0n her election bet with the
chorus girl.

ANNA HELD AND THE LUNATIC
French Actress Meets an Elderly P1r-
son with SourtIy Manners.

Speaking OF poached eggs and luna
tic asylums and such things, +. ID.
Price, manager Of the Interstate
Amusement company, has q narrowing
little story to relate. 1t was in De-
troit and Anna Held was brooding SO
gloomily over the subject of lost dia-
monds that the solicitous Mr.. Price
was afraid that she might become de-
ranged. A happy thought struck him.
He would take the disconsolate little
chanteuse through one of the local re-
treats where people with plaster loose
in their garrets were sheltered and
safely guarded. 1t would be an object
lesson. 1t was a cheerful, homelike
institution, nesting in the midst Of
lovely grounds radiant with the rich
autumnal coloring Of fading foliage.
The patients were apparently happy
and care free. They were in the harm
less class. The violent wards were
stunned as likely to get upon sensi-
tive artists nerves.
One very charming old gentleman
man recognized Miss Held and begged
an introduction. He was of the old
school, and with the blue spike-tall
coat and brass buttons and ruffied
shirt front. His rudy complexion
and snow-white silken hair made him
look like a distinguished statesman of
the Webster-Clay period. Miss Held
fell in love with him at once. His
dignity and courtliness and grand
manner were superb. And his keen in
tellectual grasp was revealed in his
discussion of the musical literary and
dramatic arts. His tribute to the
French people, delivered with the elo-
quent enthusiasm of one who knew
his Paris like an open book, was cap
tivating. Miss Held could have EN-.
braced him.
Surely" she said, timidly, lit is
some great mistake, some terrible
wrong that has brought you among
these people. You are second Drey
fus-a victim of some wicked conspir.
acy."
The courtly old gentleman sighed
and smiled sadly. There was a con.
spiracy," he said. with quiet resigna.

she said. Surely you will find deliv-
erance."
1T is certain to come" replied the
charming veteran, cheerfully. Good

now proved that there is scarcely a
vertebrate animal without it. Savage
races were long supposed to be free
from cancer. Now, however, that
trustworthy reports are being sent In
to the Imperial Cancer researchers, 1t
is known that savage races, and in
deed all animals, develop cancer quite
as freely as people living under civil
lied conditions. One of the first cases
was that OF a cancer In a wild mouse;
and malignant cancers have been found
in birds, tame as well as wild. From
trout in hatcheries, from carp and
from marine fish living in a state OF
nature cancers have been taken. Even
an oyster has been found with a large
cancerous tumor. DR.. William Nc
Gregor found cancer In Goldfish OF the
Newfoundland banks, and even frogs
have been discovered with Il. Prof.
Welsh OF Sydney recently found gen.
uine cancer in an old lioness, a tigress
and III a kangaroo. All races of man
kind in fact, and all vertebrates are
liable to cancer, whether under civil
lied conditions or not.
Besides the fact that animals and all
men are subject to cancer, 1t is signifl-
cant that the same kind OF cancer is
found in men and animals. 1t is be-
cause of this that so much is hoped

Perience of two young girls who were
being initiated into a secret society

about four miles from Otter Lake. The
degree team" consisting of Clyde
Serrel and Byron Plumb, each about
IA years of age. are missing, and the
sheriff in Caro- has been asked by the
parents OF one OF the boys to locate
them.
The story is told that the girls, aged
0hoat II years. entered the school
house woodshed, which served as 4
lodge room. The boys attached ropes
to their feet and slipped the ends over
beam. The girls hung suspended like
Thanksgiving turkeys.
Their screams brought the teacher,
William Baldridge, and the girls were
released. Baldridge threatened the
boys with arrest for their prank, and
they ran away from home. 1t devel-

DIR. Bashford, while showing me over
the laboratory, said: Recovery from
experimental cancer is common.
Growth stops and tumors disappear.
BY following up Investigations indi-
Gated last year it has been possible to
protect mice from all the consequences
OF inoculating them with cancer. This
has 3ecn done IL four different ways.
Protection may be conferred in so high
a degree that whereas out of 100 ordi-
nary mice 80 develop tumors after
incubation. In the protected mice no
tumors at all developed. Tho protect
ing influence acts by way of the body
fluids. and the body fluids of some

the scientist, Ito arrest the progress of

dircctness of the narrative attracted
the children, and the more wonderful

of the little adventurcrs. The books
were read at first stealthily, and with
fear of the awful consequences of be.

lHndon.-Mice are at a premium In
london just now. There is one place
where upwards of 100000 of The tiny
roG32fs are kept lin stock" And still
the cry Is for more. This is the head
quarters OF the Imperial Cancer Re
search Fund, which Is established in
large building adjoining the Savoy
and Cecil hotels on the Thames EN-
bankment, with which all American
visitors to London are familiar, writes
Maynard Evans, in the New York
Press.
The porter at the entrance of this
building has never been known to turn
a mouse away. Anything in the mouse

matter how many mice you may have
the market is always open. There is a
dino waiting for every possessor of a
mouse who wishes TO dispose OF his
property.
Up TO this time the ordinary mouse
has been considered a mere pest; an
enemy 10 mankind. At last. however,
mice have been advanced To an hon

foe to the human race-canccr

Why" says Mr.. Hackett, the peo-
pie over there have gone crazy over
these two fads. They play bridge
whist in foul weather and go touring
the country in automobiles when it is
fair.
so strongly did the love of tho Eng

The first operation connected with
cancer work is to implant in a healthy
mouse the living cells of cancer. This
is usually done by a hypodermic
needle. The mouse to be treated is

with a swift movement, the expert

the first injection for the cancer to de-

running about, each one of which has
a cancer more or less pronounced.
From time TO time mice with cancer
are treated with certain fluids, taken
from the bodies of other inoculated
mice, and occasionally mice with can
Ger actually recover. At other times
certain mice are injected beforehand
with these fluids, and then, when they
are given the cancer injection, il has
been found that the disease will not
take root.

to achieve success. AS soon as some
body fluid is found which Will have the
