A celebrated Continental
specialist, to whom time was
literally money, and who was
possessed of a fiery temper,
made it a rule, says The Taller,
that all patients should undress
before entering his consulting
room so as not to waste any of
his valuable time. One day a
ek-looking little man enter

What do you mean by coming
in like that?" said the doctor
in a rage, Go and strip at

But I''-faltered the man.

Alone!

There are moments in our life
When solitude we seek,
When cen to our dearest friends
Our thoughts we dare not speak
When cruel disappointments,
Which we alone must bare,
Which none can for us tighten,
Which none can with us share,
Shatter all our hopes and plans,
And leave us naught but pain,
Showing that all our efforts
Have been but spent in vain:
When alone with our maker
Like Jacob we strive
For the change we desire
In the course of our life;
When earnest supplications
We pour forth in prayer,
And ask Him to Danish
The cross we will not bear;
When we must learn the lesson
To bear both good and i'll,
And teach our lips to utter,
"Oh, Lord, it is thy will"

years ago, is now a grandmother

In marrying her leading. man, James
Carew, just before leaving the United
States to go back to England at the
end of her American touI, Miss Terry
surprised the art world Nut still more
she surprised those whS know inti-
mately her curious life Story and who
were confident that nothing could ever
happen again which woV1d tempt the
co-star Of the late Henry Irving into
| matrimony.
When she was only: aSgirl, little
short of sixteen in fact, She married
man fifty years her senior, George
Frederick Watts, celebNated English
painter z%
Even at that youthful Period of life,
Ellen Terry was lreadyTecognized as

histrionic ability that won her the af-
fection of the venerable sartist. It is

cause she possessed that curious
square jaw that Burne Jones always
gave to his angels.
Miss Terry was f1attered by the IA
vor of the painter, and@accepted him,
though had she been farsighted, she
might have seen that the life he led,
with all its elegance, was something
too stately, too dignifed for. her buoy
ant spirits. =
For, destined to be a failure, the
marriage went wrong from the start
It is related that the household con-
sisted of Watts, his bride and Two
maiden sisters, who felt#that all the
i genius of the world centered in their
famous brother, and Who quickly re-
sented the attitude of youthful light
ness with which his actress bride re-

i Those delightful graces of archness
which as a world famous actress,
Miss Terry was later to use in 'Por-
i tia," "Beatrice,' 'Katharine'' and
"Olivia,' brought no pleasure to the
painter and they outraged his sisters.
Eventually, the young wife turned her
wit to the use of irritating her hus-
band. Finding herself alone in the
home, stranger in the midst of all it's
formality, she soon turned angry, and
it is said that the discovery of an at
tachment which Watts had for years
entertained for a noble lady. further
embittered her.
Finally they parted, and Miss Terry

just before supper-time Mrs. Bar.
ton was called from her duties in the
kitchen, out to the front veranda,
where she found the other old ladies'
in high state. of excitement over the
disappearance Of Mrs. ~..Vande riff
She had come downstairs just after
noon, saying that she intended to
take a little walk. She had not re-
turned, and they were anxious about
her.

Mrs. Barton. But if Mrs. Jones feels
like walking a piece in search of her

to get her back in time for supper

make a report of her research.

luster. But she was never a business
partner in the enterprise. During the
: entire association she was on salary,
and.it was the question of remunera-
tion that eventually separated them,
for time came when Miss Terry

Unlike many actresses who have
broken away from old managers, she
did succeed, and was welcomed wildly

Last year, ON the occasion of the
tiftieth anniversary of the first time
| she appeared on the stage in'London,
with Mr.. and Mrs. Kean, all England
took part in the great demonstration
in her honor, and kings, professional
men, actors, lawmakers and members
of the nobility united in sounding her
praise.
! It was this evidence that her powers
we're not on the wane that made her
risk a fourteen weeks tour of the
United States. It was destined to be

to be her leading man in "Her Own

Here :ou boy! Don't hold that

silk dress. I just can't abide such
clrelessness.
The tall college boy, who was earn
ing his next years tuition by assist
ing the matron Of the fresh air mis-
sion. shifted the pasteboard box to
the other shoulder, and smiled down
at the querulous old lady as he helped
her up the steps.
The five old ladies who occupied
rocking chairs on the broad veranda
seemed suddenly stricken dumb by
this outburst Of the new arrival. The
lntilnation that the suit case con-
tanned silk dress, and that the own
er Of it had the impudence to talk
sassy to Mr.. Chester, who was al
ways so kind and helpful, made it i'm
possible for them to extend the vel
come they had prepared.
Mrs. Birch, the matron, came
busting out, saying: And here you
a:e at last. We are glad to welcome
,t.n 10 Maplewood, Mrs. Vandegriff.
and We hope to make up to you the
loss Ct those three days. Come right
up to the room and let me help you
get ready for supper"
Il should think I'd need help, after
tramping through that wet grass all
the way from the car. I should think
you might keep conveyance" was
the ungracious reply
The five old ladies on the veranda
fairly shivered at such a speech ad-
dressed to the matron, and almost
wished that the late arrival had come
even later.
MapleWood Cottage could only &C.
commodate six old ladies at one time,
as they were sent out for their ten
days outing, and this time one of the
number selected as deserving had
been unable to come with the others,
and the five fortunate ones had been
filed with pity for her.
The morning dawned gloriously,
and the old earth seemed to have
taken on new life after his bath. The
spirits of the guests rose accordingly
as they gathered on the veranda,
some with their knitting, others with
quilt pieces, and all ready to enjoy
the beautiful day. to the utmost.
Mrs. Vandegrif took. possession OF
the one hammock and prepared to
spoil their pleasure.
Even the excellent dinner of roast,
brown gravy and potatoes failed to
put Mrs. Vandegriff in a good humor.

BrookIyn's "Spite Church."

church was further down the street.
On Lenox road, and did not come with
in the prescribed radius, so no objec-
ton could be made to Hesterberg's So
loon on this ground. So, to forestan
Mr. Hesterberg, it was decided tc
build church on a narrow little plot
which would bring the saloon within
200 feet and thus prevent its opeu
ing.
The church was duly built It was
complete in every detail, but was a
joke as to size, being merely minia-
ture. It is about Is feet wide and
about twice as long. When packed to
its capacity it will hold about Sc
souls. But it was a church 1t had
a steeple, Gothic windows, and all the
usual details. Hence when Mr.. Hes
terberg tried to open his saloon the
matter was carried into court, but to
the chagrin of the church members,
the Supreme court, Justice Gaynor
presiding, held that the miniature re-
Iigious structure was church ac-
cording, to the letter of the law, but
not according to its spirit, and that
as regular church services were not
and could not be held therein, it was
a piece of spite, and not a church in
fact at all.
So sthe Hesterberg saloon opened in
triumph and the little church became
known as 'the spite church, and as
such often has been pointed out. The
Park Side church is now Presbyterian,
and sometimes uses the little church
as an annex for Bible and Sunday
school classes, but it is not regularly
needed, and Lenox road as q whole
will be glad to see it go. .z....>..
