Why l lost !!
 My Job,
Reasons Why Thousands Like Me Can
 not Satisfy Their Employers.

q believe my fate is not unlike that of thousands of other workers who daily lose their places for reasons they do not know, and probably would not believe. When their last pay envelope comes along, it is usually Your ser vices no longer required" If the truth were known, the reason for their un- ceremonious removal would probably be that their usefulness was destroyed because of some mental worry, bodily ailment or general indisposition These l things, as we all know, are the most l fruitful causes of failure in all walks of life. The battle of Waterloo was lost because of a, headache. In this quick age our minds must be clear, rapid. active and free from outside influence or worry, or else We go down to failure with the throng of 'floaters" who go from one place of employment to another, giving no satisfaction to others or to themselves, constantly growing older and less useful, with no ambition, no will power and no hope
 Every man requires from every other man the best that is in him. But no man can use or get the best that is in himself until he is first free from all fretful indispositions and worries.
 That was my trouble. l was full of troubles. That's why lost my job My stomach in the first place was al ways out of order, and I was worry ing about it and my mind grew cloudy, and slow. l made mistakes, and grew grouchy That was the end.
 There are thousands like me, going about with quick lunch faces, dys- peptic manners, and repulsive atmos- pheres. No employer wants such mems services.
 Take my advice. |. healthy stomach Is half the battle. for it keeps your mind clear, and your face rosy have a healthy stomach now and hold a good 1 position, and my employer is satisfied and so am l.

These suggestions came toNme from a good authority, regarding the care of your furs. Never put your furs away damp. When you come in on a stormy day, shake every possible snow flake and rain drop from both huff and boa, and spread them in place to dry Before putting them in the closet brush the fur the wrong way with a good stiff brush. The reward for your diligence will be the renewed fluffiness and softness of your furs. White furs or light ones should be kept in pasteboard boxes between layers oi tissue paper These delicate furs may ! be cleaned with lump magnesia. If the coiiars on the darker furs are soiled, clean with a piece of cotton, wet with gasolene. Don't toss handsome furs in a heap on the top shelf, of dark closet and expect to find them in a wearable condition the next time you want them.

LYDIA THOMPSON GONE. !
Long Time Footlight Favorite Il
Numbered With Dead.

London, Nov. ia longago foot
Hight favorite l departed this life.
Lydia Thompson. perhaps the most
famous burlesque actress Of her time.
died suddenly at her home In West
minister mansions, near Westminster
abbey, London. The news was sent
to New York in a cablegram to her
daughter. Zeffie Tilbury, herself an
actress, who is the wife of L. r.
Woodthorp, stage manager for MAI
Goodwin.
Probably no other woman OF the En-
glish stage, either in the serious or
frivolous phases OF the drama, excited
such a furore In the United States as
did Lydia Thompson when she first
came here In 1868. Her reputation
had preceded her. however, for she
already had made a triumphal tour of
the chief capitals OF Europe. Born
Feb. 10, 1886, she first earned repu-
tation as dancer in fairy spectacles
and burlesque as far back as 1852 at
Her Majesty's theater, London.
The following year she began her
dramatic career in pantomine at the
Haymarket theater and in 1856 she
toured Europe. where she won such
favor that in many cities she was sere
naded and escorted by torchlight pa
rades.
Her success In this country may be
indicated by the fact that when she
was at Cincinnati. even the bootblacks
subscribed their dimes to present a
silver wreath to her. Although the
name in America has been largely
identified with THE Black Crook" the
fact is that extravaganza was pro-
duced in America two years before her
first visit. With her on that visit
came Ada Harland, afterward the wife
Of Professor Brander Matthews; Pau
line Markham, Liza Weber. Alexander
Henderson, the manager who after
ward married Miss Thompson, and
Harry Pickett, actor and musical d.
rector Besides those already namei
there were several Americans In the
cast, among them Grace Lowdeon and
Sol Smith Russell.
The women of the company were
dubbed The British Blondes" be-
cause they all wore blonde wigs, and
that name stuck to them.
After three years spent in America
Miss Thompson went back to England
to procure new costumes On her re
turn here she brought with her Rose
Coghlan and Eliza Wethersby. after
ward the wife of Nat Goodwin.
In all Miss Thompson made four
visits to this country. She estimated
that she earned fully 100000 on her
American tours, but she often said
that she only received about $4,000
being robbed OF the rest by persons
whom she trusted.
