One of the most enthusiastically
eccentric things ever done by Gelett
Burgess (and one of the few true sto.
ries of HIM was to spend three or four
days in constructing Of cardboard,
mica and green velvet little model
of an old New England house, com
plete as to windows, curtains, lawn,
garden, trees and even including a
hammock with a tiny hat and summer
novel and washing stretched out on a
clothesline on the back stoop. This
was for dinner given to several lit
erary friends in New York, and when
the coffee was served he deliberately
set fire to the whole farm. His ex-
PLANTATION was that had it been spared
his guests might have forgotten the
affair, but they would always remem-
Der the destruction of the house. No
one who ever saw the little house go
up in smoke on its little hill of damp
moss will ever forget it.

1.-THE King had arisen in the early
morning, fortified himself with a dozen
little nips from another bottle, and
was giving it out to his subjects that
the shark god was a four fiusher. He
kept up the skating frolic for several
days, the Yankee supplying the ben
zine, and the people began to look each
other in the face as if they suspicioned
that they had not been receiving
straight goods. Then they began to
hint that the shark god was n. 6. Still
the volcanoes didn't blaze, and then
they said openly and above board that
the shark god was fraud. They are
attacked his affairs and RACED them to
the ground, and they toppled over his
statues and pelted them with mud and
stones.
Confidence in the great shark good

~ Sight.

New York, Jan. 17.-News comes
to New, York from Wrentham, Mas
sachusetts, that Mrs. John Albert
Macy, who was Miss Anne Mansfield
Sullivan, for twenty years the COM
panion of Helen Keller, Is going
blind.
Mrs. Macy is inflicted with cata-
ract, and 1t is feared she will entire
ly lose her eyesight, 1t Is to Mrs.
Macy that Helen Keller owes her
education, and the fact that she Is
to-day living example of the fact
that love and patience can overcome
the worst of afflictions. Until Helen
Keller was seven years old she sat
I'm darkness and silence, being deaf,
dumb and blind. Then Miss Sullt-
means of communication with the
girl, and by the touch language,
which she invented, began her edu-
cation. The story of Miss Keller and
her achievements is known to every
one, and 1T is to the woman whose
friends now believe is fast losing
her sight that she owes 1t all. For
twenty years the two have been con-
stant companions,an6 it was through
her interest in Miss Keller when she
entered Radcliffe College that Prof.
Macy, at the time. an instructor in
Harvard, became acquainted with
Miss Sullivan. Prof. Macy and Miss
Sullivan were married I'm May, 1906,
and since then have made theirs
home with Miss Keller at Wrentham.

WOMAN IN QUEER posIrIoN.
Wife of Two at One Time Because Of
French, and English Laws.

E1s English woman married In
England a domiciled Frenchman.
The Frenchman, being under age,
and not having obtained the consent
OF his parents, the marriage was de-
clared void by the courts In France.
The English woman, after a lapse
OF six years, goes through form
OF marriage; with AN Englishman,
who deserts her and institutes a
suit OF nullity on the ground that she
Is, according to British law, ano-
ther mans wife. This contention
was upheld by Mr.. Justice Bargraye
appeal.
In France the woman Is the legal
wife of the Englishman, in England
shesis the legal wife OF the French
man; She Is thus, in the light OF
matrimonial law in England and
France, the wife of two men and the
wife of neither. while her children
are both Legitimate and illegitimate.
