ST. VITUS' DANCE.
CHILD OF TEN CURED BY DR..
WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
Mrs. Ream's Daughter Began to GAN
Flesh at Once and is Now Well
and Happy.

Children are doubtless punished
many times at school for not keeping
still or for dropping things when the
trouble is EtaHy chorea, or st. Vitus'
Dance. as II is popularity called. So
common is this nervous disease in
childhood that in some schools one
fifth of all the pupils have been found
suffering from it in one form or an
other.
Before the presence Of the disease is
betrayed there is usually a disturbance
of the general health. The child shows
listlessness and inattentiOn. Then it
becomes restless and twitching of the
muscles and jerking of the limbs and
body follow.
Often the patient loses flesh and be-
comes pale and bloOdless. A remedy
that cures St. Vitus' Dance, and cures
/: SO thoroughly that no trace Of tn"
disease remains. is DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.
A recent cure is that OF Georgia. the
ten-year-old daughter of Mrs. d. NJ.
Ream OF COnemaugh, Pa. Mrs. Ream
says:
when Georgia started to school last
year she had stomach trouble and
afterward her mouth began to twitch.
She would shake all over and could not
be still After a few months her mind
became affected.
"She was under the care of two
doctors for almost four months When
she had been sick for about seven
months we heard Of case like
Georgia's that had been cured by DR.:
Williams Pink Pills. 1t was in the
latter part of February that she COM
menced to take the pills and they made
the greatest change in her. They not
only cured every trace of the st. Vitus
Dance but helped her in every way
She never was very stout until after
she took the pills. but now she has
gained in weight. She goes to school
every day and is well and happy. Dr.
Williams Pink Pills are worth their
weight i'm gOld.''

II hadn't intended to do this, but. fol-

like, that she wanted an encore, and SO
said to the doctor:
ASK her what she desires.
HE rose to his feet, and was about to
question her, when she exclaimed:
To think OF the likes of me being In
here and he being at large in the world"
THAT was the last time l ever played in

So much unreached that none SUPPOSE;
What haws! what faults! on every

Perchance in this beSlandered age

A Study in Suicide Figures.

The Chicago Record Herald has been
making a study of the gruesome sui
eide statistics of Chicago during the
past year and makes the interesting
comparison between the number of sui
cides in that city and those in New
York during the same year. New York
had $40 suicides TO report in 1865 and
Chicago had 453. When one takes into
account the fact that New York has
almost double the population. that is q
remarkably favorable showing for that
city. Considering this marked differ
ence in proportion, it is all the more
striking to observe the similarities
which appear when the suicides are
further classified. In New York the
women suicides formed 22.2 per cent of
the entire number In Chicago women
were Els per cent of all the suicides.
Shooting was the method used by 80
per cent Of the New York suicides, and
by 35 rer cent of the Chicagoans Gas
was used by % per cent in New
York and by IS per cent i'm Chicago
CarbOlic acid was selected by IA per
cent in New York and by II per cent in
Chicago. In New York 81 per cent of
the suicides We're Americans. and in
Chicago 40 per cent. In New York 80
per cent We're Germans. in Chicago
only 20 per cent. Among other ma
tionalities there were very much wider
variations. The Italians. for example.
furnished only four suicides in Chicago
and fifteen in New York. Bohemians
We're fourteen i'm New York and thirty
one in Chicago. Irish We're thirty-four
in New York and twelve in Chicago.
A study in the variations in suicide by
natiOnalities. taking into account the
numbers of each nationality and the
conditions of life. would be useful in
connection with the problems that
arise out of the manner in which our
immigrants are distributing themselves
i'm various parts of the country.

Cassie in Prison.

Officials ofthe state-prison of Columbus,
~, which now harbors Mrs. Cassie l..
Chadwick. have no doubt at all of her
identity with Madame Da We're. and she
IS recorded in the prison books under the
TWO names. Mrs. Chadwick wears the
calico dress of the prison, and her work
viii be the making of convict shirts. She
first saw the inside of that prison in 1891,
WAS paroled by Gov. Mckinley III 1899,
and released in 1897. Not one of the

Here and Now.

Now is the time and here the place,
The past is but story

the popularity of President Roosevelt
throughout the country. is it supplied
in the brutal and unwarranted attack

Marshal Field and His Millions.

Marshal Field was an old fashioned
American and he made his money in
the old fashioned way of honest trade.
He left a colossal fortune and it is not
charged that there is a taint upon a
single dollar Of it. No frenzied finance,
no get-rich-quick scheme, no betrayal
OF public trust, no robbery Of widows
and orphans. no cornering of the
market. no overcapitalization, no
rebate-giving figured in the wonderful
story Of his many millions. His sue
cess. on the contrary, was built upon
the old requisites economy. energy,
enterprise and honesty His fortune Of
5000. 900, 900 aid not come in a week or a
year or a decade. but was sixty years
or more in the making. Thus Marshal
Field, though one Of the richest of the
many multimillionaires Of this country,
stood unique among them and earned
the noble tributes that are being paid
TO his name as he lies cold in death.
He was the greatest merchant the
respects was the leading citizen of
Chicago. He made that city his debtor
for many benefactions and not the
least OF these was that he made no at
tempt to evade the responsibilities of
wealth when the assessors and tax
collector came around. His charity
| was never of the ostentatious kind but
| was generous and effective. He was
content to demonstrate his Christian
piety in his business dealings rather
| than by scattering libraries broadcast
or by founding universities.
There are many very rich men in the
country and they are dying every day,
but the worlds ultimate estimate of
| them depends upon something else
| than the riches they leave behind. 1t
is after they have finished their earthly
\ that they are subjected TO an unspar-
{ ing inventory. not only of estate but
Of character. The question that then
becomes uppermOst is not the tale of
dollars and cents that they acquired in
4 lifetime of effort. but what that
measure of acquisition stands for in
the great social and human equation
And So it comes about that Marshal
Field the dead merchant prince of the
! West who was born the son of a poor
farmer in New England. left an asset
greater than all his millions. and died
beloved and not hated by the people in
whose midst he won his success. 1t is
OF interest to note that Mr.. Fields
personal counsel who had charge of all
the legal affairs Of his gigantic bust
ness and who was beside him when he
died as one of his closest personal
friends. was a former Kennebec county
boy. William G. Beale who was born
in Winthrop, graduated from Bowdoin
in - in the class with Governor Cobb,
Commander P-ary and Prof Little,
and then went west where he has be-
icomr one Of the leaders of the Chicago
bar.
