Little Miss Edith Taliaferro, who,
since the opening of the season has
been the leading woman of Frederic
Thompson's Brewster's Millions, was
suddenly withdrawn from that organ
ization after a performance in Oma-
ha, and rushed to Chicago to take
her sister Mabers place in Polly of
the Circus. Worn out by the neces-
sity of playing every night in the
week as well as two afternoons, the
little star in the circus fell i'll. AS
soon as he heard that his wife was
sick, Frederic Thompson hurried
from New York to- Chicago and after
consulting with the physicians de-
cided to withdraw her from the play
during the remainder of the Chicago
run. While it is true that Edith
will head her own company in Polly
of the Circus early next month, she
has never played in it, and only
memorized the lines because she
thought they might some day make
her useful. This she was prompted
to do because of serious and almost
| fatal carriage accident which her star
sister suffered one night last winter
However, the opportunity to appear
in the role never presented itself and
when the new season opened she
started on a tour with Brewsters

sons, but sometimes amounts are so
staggering upon their face, as in the
present case, as to excite curiosity to
know upon what principle of equity
they are based.
1t frequently happens in the cases

their bodily Affections they are
charged "all that the traffic will

will bear without a protest. Mr..

A few years ago Arson Phelps Stokes
the elder was compelled to undergo
the amputation of leg as the result
of an injury at Lenox. Grateful for
the skill and attention of his surgeon,
he thought to give the generous ex-
preston to this feeling by sending
him check for $4,000. His letter
crossed one from the doctor contain
ing a bill for $4,000.
1t was said that the famous DR..
Lorenz of Vienna received a fee of
100000 for Strengthening out the de-
formities of a little daughter of one
of the Armours. Whether the doctor
made the price in advance or whether
it was fixed by the grateful parent
does not appear, but willingly or 9TH
erwise it made Mr.. Armour benefac-
tor of hundreds of children in various
parts of this country. for the doctor
went about doing good, giving free
clinics and making crooked limbs
straight and strong without fee.
Doubtless doctors and especially sur
geons, more than almost any other
class of professional or business men
are obliged to take chances on pay
ment for their services. They can
hardly refuse to relieve suffering
when called upon, for the reason that
they might not get their pay, and
they admit balancing to some degree
their charity work by distributing it's
compensations among those who have
means. To reasonable extent this
does not call for criticism, but it is
not sufficient to account for the occa-
sional abnormalities in the matter of
charges. To limited amount most
of us have to pay the tailor, the
butcher, the landlord and other pur-
veyors to our wants for the bad debts
of others, but the conditions of trade
prevent charging a thousand dollars
for a forty-dollar suit. If the skilled
healer is outside these limitations he
is none the less bound in common
equity not to take undue advantage of
the fact-Boston Transcript.

A Wa.ch's Evil Influence.

San Francisco Call-Does the
theory that one person influences,
subconsciously, other persons extend
to inanimate objects and subjects,
and will a watch of irregular habits
influence the character of the person
wearing it and contaminate that per-
son? is the psychological idea over
which M. w. Wather, millionaire, is
studying.
Mather owns a silver watch that
he found somewhere and retained, al
though of practically no value; per
haps it cost $40. Mather also has to
employ bookkeeper to keep track
of his income-that is, he has had
several bookeepers, but not at the
same time. Each bookkeeper has
fcome well recommended and possessed
of exemplary habits. When the first
bookkeeper who figures in this story
took the position he had no watch, so
|'Mather loaned him the silver watch
that had been lying in the safe.
The watch had distinctly bad habits
it would not keep track of the time
correctly. Pretty soon Mather began
to hear reports about his bookkeeper
which, while entertaining, were not
edifying. If such a thing were posi-
bl, he was outdoing the watch in IT.
regularity, and consequently was al
lowed to resign, and another man
was given the place.
The newcomer was man of great
promise, and as a mark of his conf
dence Mather allowed him to carry
the watch. One day this bookkeeper
failed to appear on the scene, and an
examination of his accounts gave
key to the reason. The investigation
that followed proved that he had
been sowing large and fruitful crop
of wild cereals. Then came book
keeper No. 8, and in his case it was
the same story GO with No. and No.

Mather yesterday. "but the watch is
where he cannot possibly get it, and

.SUFFRAGETTES ARE
MOVING FORWARD
SEEK TO AMEND THE FRENCH
MARRIAGE LAW BY ELM
MATING "oBEY."
LITTLE OPPOSITION BECAUSE
PHRASE HAS NEVER BEEN
TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

Paris, France, Oct 27.-While the
London suffragettes, as they disap-
pear behind the pris walls, still
stoutly declare that they will resume
the program of violence as soon IS
they have served their sentences,
their French sisters continue quietly
to accomplish fresh stages of their
extensive scheme of a peaceful revo-
luton In woman's position. 1t was
due to a tranquil siege of several
members of the chamber of deputies
by their own wives that bill was
introduced in the cnamDer Saturday
for the purpose of abolishing article
213 of the civil code, which provides
that "the husband must protect the
wife and the wife must obey the hus-
band"
Call 1t Relic Of Barbarfsm.
The promoters of the bill assert
that this article is a relic of bar
barism, constituting an insult to
women and having no meaning in
these days of the equality of the
sexes. 1t Is not the first time a bill
of the same intent has teen intro
duced in the French parliament. A
similar attempt was made unsuccess-
fully in 1848, but this time, it is de-
clared, the chamber no doubt will
have the code SO modified that Two
men can look one another in the face
without being ashamed of their place
in society," At a meeting of the
originators of the bill Paul Hervieu,
the playwright, had the temerity to
suggest that the word love" be added
to the clause married couples owe
each other mutual fidelity, succor
and assistance but Camille Pelletan,
himself a recently married man,
laughed that to scorn, while others
Uttered at what they called ''ridic-
ulous suggestion"
Phrase Is Cause of Hilarity.
Another reason why little opposi-
ton will be offered to the bill is be-
cause the phrase relative to the wife's
obedience is generally the cause Of
Unsurpassed hilarity at civil mar
riages One of the authors of the
bill says that when he was assistant
mayor of Lyons he often observed
sarcastic smiles, witty remarks and
winks passing among the brides at
tendants when the phrase was re-
peated and he inferred that the
pledge was given with a mental reser-
walton and therefore had no meaning.
All the six proposers Of the bill are
married and all are highly placed in
French public life.
