LADY COOK WILL
STARTLE WORLD
IN BIOGRAPHY
Tennessee Claflin to Make Amaz.
ing Revelations, Including
Famous Beecher Trial.

RUTHERFORD, July 2.-Defnite an
the forthcoming publication of the life
and personal memoirs of Lady Cook,
she who was Tennessee Clafin, and as
such. with her sister, Victoria Wood
hull, startled America a generation
ago by their remarkable acts.
Lady Cook was married to Sir
Francis Cook, Bart, twenty years ago,
and when he died in London six years
ago she inherited about $40, 900, 600, with
which she has been leading the suf-
fragette movement in England and fire.
quently visiting America to shower
benedictions.
a. c. Silver, a New York newspaper
man living here, was engaged by Lady
Cook a year age to undertake the
compiling of her memoirs and the
writing of her biography. which, it is
understood, contain many chapters re-
vealing incidents which have puzzled
the public for thirty-five years. but
which have remained a secret with her
ladyship. Mr.. Silver spent many
months abroad with Lady Cook on the
work. and is now finishing it and ar
ranging for its publication.
One of the most intensely interesting
matters treated in the work Is that
pertaining to the inside history of the
Henry Ward Beecher trial and scandal.
Tennessee Clafin was the cause of this
and the secret promises to revive hat
excitement which absorbed the whole
country a generation ago. Some of
the parties to this are still living. Lady
Cooks authentic version throws q new
and almost startling light on the mat
ter. She makes remarkable charges.
AS Tennessee Clafin she also reveals
the long hidden secrets of the stock
brokerage office which she and her
sister conducted in Wall street, and
where old Commodore Vanderbilt was
known to be vitality interested. 1t now
t~ranspires that this great fnaucier was
an active partner In the business, and
that through his advice and the daring
of n young sisters they had amassed
more than a million dollars when they
fled from impending arrest.
There are also excitingly interesting
chapters about Jim" Fiske and other
notables of that day with whom the
names of young women were linked in
an underbreath. Lady Cook does not
spare anyone, not even herself, and
tells everything with a daring frank
ness.
In this biography Mr.. Silver under
takes to prove that Lady Cook has
really done more for the cause of
and for her advancement than
any other m who ever lived. and

TURKEY SHIPMENTS HEAVY,
100000 Dressed Fowls VIII BE
Record for Season.

Dallas, Texas, Dec. 3.-"Approxi-
mately $50, 000 dressed turkeys will
have been shipped from various
points in Texas to the north and
east at the close of the present sea-
SON., stated E. NJ. Rice, southwestern
agent of the American Refrigerator
Car Service here yesterday from his
headquarters in Tyler. The record
will be broken, although up to two
or three years ago the dressed poul-
try movement was not to be consid-
cred from this section of the coun-
try.
The 100000 dressed turkeys
means that at least 500 cars will
move, allowing an average of $500
TO the car. In addition to the turkey
movement, it is expected that at
least 20 or so cars of dressed chick
ems and geese will be shipped
One turkey will net the farmer
from s1.25 to 50, and it is appar-
ant that poultry raising in Texas can
be made profitable,
One car of turkeys is valued al
about $4,000, and should 800 cars
be shipped out it will mean that at
least $ 100000 will be distributed
among the farmers of the state from
this one product alone.
The bulk of the turkeys shipped
out of the state come from south and
southeast Texas, with but few COM
ing from the northern part of the
state.
The demand for chickens is about
as good and lasts longer. while a
good market can be worked up for
geese.
The United States Dressed Poul-
try company so far has been hand
ling the bulk of the Texas supply,
and has representative here max
ing purchases and shipments to Chi
cago and other points.

For a Yellow Dogs Sake.

A quarter after nine every morning an import
ant ceremony took place in Roy Gilman's school
room.
At a quarter after nine, every morning, Miss
Fletcher, Roy's teacher, handed note for the prn
cipal TO each pupil who had done especially well
the day before. These notes the children carried
to the principals office, where they found pupils
from other rooms bearing similar notes.
When Principal Thompson had read note he
knew just how the bearer had earned the honor
and he commended him. After he had read all the
notes he shook hands with each boy and girl and
said he hoped to see them again. Then the chill
dren went back to their respective school rooms
And before night everybody had heard who had gone
from each room, and the room sending the great
est number proud of itself
The notes were not bestowed only on those who
had high standing IN their studies; if they had
been. some pupils would have gone to the office ev-
cry day, while others would never have gone there
Those pupils whom Principal Thompson want
ed to see were the girls and boys who had done the
very best they could.
For instance, Dennis Deckerman, who was so
full of life that he couldn't seem to sit still five
minutes, and full of fun that he was laughing
most of the time-when this lively young man was
quiet and orderly for whole day he got one of the
little notes the next morning. Then Principal
Thompson was so pleased that he capped Dennis
on the shoulder and said, Good for you, Decker

A SOUVENIR.

1t was quiet almost deserted street The time
was very early In the spring-one might almost say
late winter-but behind the brightly polished win
dows of a small notion shop plant was blooming,
so sweet so delicate, that stranger roaming about
the city paused to admire it. pale young woman
was seated at an embroidery frame near the door.
The stranger could not resist the impulse of open
ing it and asking the of the flower. But the
could not tell him.
q have had it for ten years, Monsieur" she said
Summer and winter it is green and fourishing
and its perfume is, if anything noticeable at
night than in the daytime"
"Does it grow from seed, MadameW
"No, Monsieur. Several times have planted
the seeds but they do not come to anything
"Where did you get it in the first place"
ct was a-souvenir, Monsieur. The person who
gave it to me has gone away, never to return"
She dropped her eyes upon her work once more
pale rose-color sufusing her cheeks.
The stranger looked around the neat little shop
hoping to see something he might purchase But
there were only articles of childrens attire, with
pins, needles and buttons. pretty little boy, per-
haps years of age, was playing behind the coun-
ter The visitor put his hand in his pocket-he had
sweet tooth-and drew forth small box of bon
bons
This beautiful child belongs to you, Madame,
supposed" he said
NO Monsieur, but he is just the same as my
own He is my nephew. Say Thank you? my little
Paul"
The child lsped Thank you!" and the stranger
bowed and departed.
There was, however, something about the woman
which interested him. Her modest appearance, her
neatness and that of the little boy, attracted him.
He was student of mankind, and he felt persuad-
ed that she had an interesting story-perhaps mel
ancboly and romantic But he left the place an
hour after this short interview and had no time to
learn anything more about her.
Several months later another traveller. very well
dressed arrived at Andelys by the Rouen train. de
went at once to the office of notary, NJ Galols and
remained closeted with him for an hour. At the
end of that time the clerk writing IN outer Of
fee, heard the stranger say as he was leaving:
II rely upon your honor, M. GallOls. 1t is I'M
portant that no one in Andelys should know of this
visit | am about to leave Immediately"
"The Rouen train does not go for two hours:
Monsieur. Stay and take lunch with me- 1t will
be served at once"
Thank you, bat [ cannot stay. Adieu, Mon
sieurl"
He went away, a moment later the clerk saw HIM
walking down the street.
at was quite cold There had been heavy fall
of snow that morning. The streets were white with
it, except where the sweepers had lndustrlously
brushed it away or where cinders had been thrown
The traveller stroled down to the river. There was
a promenade along the bank, deserted this Wlntry
day; the fountain in the little park was dry also:
all looked cherries and desoate. Pauslng before
