NEW LINE OF ART.
YOUNG GIRL WINS FAME BY
SILHOUETTE WORK.
Helen Parker, of Philadelphia Turns
Out Perfect Portraits With Scs-
sors and a Little Black
Paper.

Miss Helen Parker, a young Philadel-
phia girl, is unique in being the only
woman in the world who has achieved
the reputation as a great professional
portrait artist through the medium of
scissors and black paper
When j. NJ Barrie sold the right of
Peter Pan for stage production he
stipulated that it should not be illus
trated and that it's personnel should
not be photographed in any of the
poses or character parts of the play
Finally the manager, anxious to have
Miss Adams and other members of the
cast, including the famous dog, repro
duced in some of the poses which
were delighting New York, bethought
him of silhouettes. Mr.. Barrie con-
sented to silhouettes where he had
been obdurant about other methods of
illustration, and it was put up to the
editor of the popular journal who was
to handle the story to find someone
to execute them
The famous art editor made search
for silhouette artists and returned.
There is only one person in Amer
lea whom can get to do the job" he
reported, "and that is little girl in
Philadelphia. There are plenty of
board walk cutters, but with the ex-
ception of this girl there are no silhou-
cite artists in America"
How the young girl with her mother
as chaperon was transferred from her
modest studio to the gay New York
hotel where she both cut the photo.
graphs and received the admiring
friendship of the company for her skill
which saved them the day, how Miss
Adams lavished boxes upon her and
sent her roses and lilies of the valley,
"with'-as she says with goulish de-
light-"stems a yard and a quarter
long" is only part of the wonderful
transformations which have taken
place in Miss Parker's fortunes since

WEIGHT AND HEALTH
THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED
THE TONIC TREATMENT.
This Woman Took Or. Williams Pink
Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and
Has Been Well Ever Since.

How many wonderland men too
are suffering from general decline in
health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable to checkl How many hus-
bands see their wives wasting away,
steadily losing health and beauty, and
are powerless to help! Consumption
and other germ diseases find in these
debilitated systems easy prey, for the
lowered vitality is unequal to the task OF
fighting off the infection of these diseases
to which most of us are almost daily ex-
posed.
The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results so fatal could
scarcely be better described than in the
statement of Mrs. William Manley, of
90 Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case
is typical one. She says:
''For six months after the birth of my
baby, suffered from sick, dizzy head
aches, which seemed like rush of
blood to my forehead, just back of my
ewes. Some days they twitched so 4
could hardly see and black spots hoated
on this sickness. MY appetite was poor
and was often sick to my stomach.
eff l tried to work my feet soon be-
came swollen, paining me terribly. I
had sinking spells and grew pale and
nervous. Twas so thin that weighed
only 90 pounds.
zone day when at the drug store to
get headache powders decided to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills instead. I
soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me a
hearty appetite and I now weigh over
100 pounds. believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder woman can take,
as they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical and I have never
been seriously i'll since"
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do it's work.
If you are i'll and the treatment you
are Caking does not cure you, write for
proof Of what DR.. Williams Pink Pills
have done in similar cases.
Your druggist sells them or they will
be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of
price, SO cents per box, six boxes for

Two Continents Pay Tribute to Ellen
Beach Yaw, the Great Singer.
In this closing Of the nineteenth CEN
fury there has dawned star in the
vocal armament which eclipses, in bird
like sweetness and phenomenal range,
all the voices of the past, says the New
York World. History will write the
name and fame of Ellen Beach Yaw as
the greatest soprano singer the world
has ever knoWn-greater than Patti
greater than Nilsson-g greater than
Lind The American people will find
much satisfaction in the thought that
Miss Yaw is an American girl: she was
born in New York state and the great
er portion of her early life was spent
in California.
Miss YaW is tall, stately girl, whose
wealth of blonde hair frames a face
that is beautiful and expressive. Her
bearing and manner indicate self-pos-
session and are the embodiment of all
that is graceful and refined. The beau
ty and phenomenal range of her voice
became apparent some years ago, while
under the tuition Of Nine. Bjorksten of
New York, and under whose guidance
Miss Yaw went to Paris and studied
with the famous Della Sedie and Bax.
1t was not until two years ago that her
wonderful voice began to attract pub
lie attention-and in this brief period
she has sung herself into a popularity
that has taken others lifetime to ac-
complish Compared with other voices
of worldwide fame, the scale stands
thus
Miss Yaw sings without the slightest
perceptible effort, from E below the bar
to E in the altissimo--a range OF TWEEN
ty-eight tones Her famous note-the
E above high E is five notes higher than
Patti ever attained-and the highest
note ever voiced from human throat.
Her singing and her methods cannot be
likened to those of Patti or Nilsson
there is distinctiveness and an indi-
viduality that has been created by and
belongs exclusively to Yaw, who Is now
engaging the attention Of the whole
music-loving world.

The earthquake in Jamaica reminds
a correspondent of curious epitaph
which he read on a tombstone there
some years ago. 1t runs thus: Here
lieth the body Of Lewis Gladly, Esq,
who died on the 22d of September,
1877. aged 80. He was born at Mont
oellier, in France, which place he left

,sland where, in the great earthquake,

the wonderful providence of God, by
a second shock, was thrown out into
the sea, where he continued swim

DIDN'T WANT THE FARM.
But Was Willing to Buy Those Big
Hons

Some few days ago two Oklahoma
City real estate men had a German
farmer in tow and carted him into the
country to see farm which had con-
siderable low land and where over
flows are frequent. They passed a.
barn where the high water mark was
about eight feet above ground.
And what is that?" inquired the
farmer.
One of the real estate men, who is
ever ready with an answer, looked up
at the water mark and said:
That's nothing. It's where the
hogs have been brushing up against
the barn"
They drove on in silence, when sud
denly the farmer broke the atmos-
phere by saying:
II do not want the farm, but will
buy all the hogs like that you can pos
sibly scrape up"
