PUTNAM FADELESS DYES
Hall Game on Boyish Ways.

Hall Game was praising the Ameri-
can autumn.
81 visited in October" he said, "the
country house of New York man. 1t
was in New England, on a mountain
side, and the splendid colors of the foil
age-the scarlets and Colds and innu-
merable famelike tints-gave to the
still forests an indescribable magnifi-
cence.
And the leaves fell in a rain of color
through the transparent air. In the
garden, one afternoon, 1 heard a gar
dener say to his little son:
"'I wish you would rake up these
dead leaves in a pile
"'Oh, 1 don't feel like it. whined the
boy. My backs sore, and I've got a
cramp in my wrist, and there's grow
ing pains in my leg
"'After you get 'em raked up went
on the gardener calmly, you can make
a nice big bonfire out of them and
jump over it,
"The boy began to whoop and leap.

the rake? "-Philadelphia Bulletin.

death-bed of her father, Louis c.
engaged in race with death, and
three railroad systems lent every as
Sistance to enable her to reach the
bedside of Mr. Field before the end
came. Shortly before he died Mr..
Field opened his eyes and in a scarce
ly audible whisper called for his IA
vorite little grandson, Marshall Field
III.
DR.. Frank Billings, of Chicago, Mr..
Fields physician, was summoned to
New York, and DR.. Walter B. James,
DR.. Edward G. Janeway and Dr. Aus
tin f. Riggs were in constant attend
ance and everything known to medi-
cal science was employed in keeping
alight the Pickering spark of life. At
times there were alarming symptoms
of heart failure and nitrOglycerin,
strychnine and digitalis were frequent
ly administered. The cOngeSted condi-
ton of the lungs failed to respond to
medical treatment. His pulse and
temperature were always unfavOrable
to recovery, and to the physicians it
became apparent that Mr.. Fields vital
ity would not be equal to resisting the
attack. The cold, which developed
shortly before Mr.. Field left Chicago
and which was aggravated by the long
railroad trip to New York on January
and 8, developed into deep-seated
pneumonia that baf1ed the skill of the
physicians. Among those at the bed
side, besides the physicians and nurses,
were Mrs. Field, Mrs. Marshall Field.
Jr., Stanley Field, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Dibblee, Jr., Norman B. Ream, Will
liam G. Beale and Robert T. Lincoln.

LOVER OF HOME.
Despite Great Wealth, Merchants
Life Is Simple and Quiet.


While a wizard of the commercial
world Marshall Field never dealt in
fats. His transactions always were over
something tangible and real, and this
characteristic reached to the interior of
his home. Field was essentially a man
of family and home.
Marshall Field was married to Miss
Mamie Douglass Scott, daughter of
Robert Scott of IrOnton, Ohio, Jan. ),
1863. Three children resulted from the
union, two of whom are still living. Mrs.
Field died at Nice, France, a few years
ago, where she had gone for her health.
She had been an invalid for several
years.
The first child, Lewis Field, died when
an infant in 1866. Marshall Field, Jr.,
who shot and accidentally killed himself
last November. was born April 81, 1868,
and married Miss AIbertine Huck of
Chicago. The only daughter was Ethel
Newcomb Field, who was born in 1873.
She married Arthur Magic Tree in
1891, was later divorced and is now the
wife of Captain David Beatty of the
British navy. For several years Mr..
Field spent a portion of his winters in
visiting his children md grandchildren
in England and France.
On Sept. ) of last year Mr. Field was
welded to Mrs. Della Spencer Cation,
widow of the late Arthur Cation. Mr..
and Mrs. Field were given a cordial re-
ception on their return to Chicago, but
their happiness was soon clouded by the
death of Marshall Field, Jr., who acct
dentally shot himself with a magazine
revolver at his residence.
In religion, as in everything else, Mar
shall Field always avoided display. A
steady churchgoer what his contribu-
tons to religious institutions were will
never be known, as he was a modest
though generous giver.
Perhaps no man of the wealth possess
ed by Marshall Field spent more happy
and contented hours in his later days.
His home was simple and quiet, with pri-
vate quarters for his friends-old books
and rare pictures-with which he spent
many peaceful evening. In social life
Mr.. Field was retiring and it was sell
dom that he appeared in the gatherings
made up Of what is generally termed $50
ciety." When his business was finished
he was invariably found at his home,
which, though expensive, is unostenta-
tious and in keeping with the plain char
acter of the man. To his children and
family Mr.. Field was always lavishly
generous. Mr.. Fields kindness to his
employees, of whom there were thou
sands, was tempered only by his deter
mination to encourage industry and pro-
ficiency.

PAIN In THE JOINTS
Rheumatic Tortures Cease When Dr.
Williams Pink Pills Make
New Blood.


The first sign of rheumatism is FIRE.
Guently pain and swelling in one OF
the joints. If not combated in the
blood, which is the seat of the disease,
the poison spreads, affecting other joints
and tissues. Sometimes rheumatism at
tacks the heart and is quickly fatal.
The one remedy that has cured
rheumatism so that it stays cured is DIR.
Williams Pink Pills. These pills expel
the poison from the blood and restore
the system, so that the poisonous matter
is passed of as nature intended.
Mrs. I. T. Pitcher, of No. 100 Mon
mouth street, Newark, N. j., suffered
for about three years from rheumatism
before she found this cure. She says: :
cit began with queer feeling in my
fingers. In little time it seemed as
though the finger joints had Jumps on
them and could not get my gloves OH.
"Then it grew worse and spread to
my knees. could not stand up and I
could not sleep nights. My suffering
was more than can describe. l took a
great deal of medicine, but nothing even
gave me relief until l tried DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
81 read an account of a cure in case
that was exactly like mine and my hus-
band got me some of the pills. took
them for three weeks before I really felt
better but they finally cured me. "
Mr.. Pitcher, who is a veteran and q
member of E. D. Morgan Post, No. 307
of New York, substantiates his wife's
statement and says that she now walks
without difficulty, whereas year ago
he was compelled to push her about in a
wheeled chair. Both Mr.. and Mrs
Pitcher are enthusiastic in their praise
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
