chlIdIIke Ignorance.

Laura Jean Libbey, discussing in
Brooklyn her successful appearance
on the stage, said:
81 talk in my monologue about love,
marriage and the other interests Of
the heart On these subjects women,
especially young women, are strangely
ignorant.
They really make me think, you
know, CT the lit+le girl who was asked
by her teachers
What can you tell US about Solo
mon?'
Solomon replied the little girl,
was very fond Of animals
And how, my dear said the teach
er, do you make that out?'
Because answered the little girl,
the Bible says he had 500 porcu-
pines"

May Yohe

choir dreamed that her actions, SEN
sational and unwoman1y, would at one
time engage the attention of virtually
the entire world
When she was very, very young
that is young from the point of view
of ordinary, normal mortals-May was
taken to New York-city of her
dreams-to ego on the stage" She
made tremendous hit In New York,
and duplicated.it in London. Society
f1ocked to hear her sing and play
boys parts-a favorite role. She was
pronounced by all to be stunning"
At the hight of her success she met
Lord Francis Hope. He became in
fauated in twinkltng His mother,
the Duchess of Newcastle, had left
him a large fortune, and he stood to
inherit the dukedom should his elder
brother, the Duke of Newcastle, die
without son. Young Lord Francis
spent thousands of dollars In financing
May Yohe in new plays, and showered
more than $4,000 worth of jewels
upon her. Finally he proposed mar
riage, and was accepted. They were
married in 1893. The Hope family
was furious, but Lord Francis de-
clared It was his own affair and that
he would brook no interference.
May Yohe had been Lady Francis
Hope for seven years. Meanwhile
Putnam Bradlee Strong, son of former
Mayor William Strong, Of New York,
returned from the Philippines, where
he served in the gallant Sixty-ninth
New York Regiment. Lady Francis
Hope was In San Francisco, still on
the stage and at the height of her
beauty. Lord Hope had gone back to
England Captain Strong and Lady
Francis met.
The boy captain was smitten with
the charms of the actress. They were
seen together everywhere. Then came
a scandal that shocked two continents.
May Yohe flung everything to the
wind-her title, position on the stage,
her career, her husband. She ran
away with Strong. AS for Strong. his
sacrifice was as great He lost his
social position, the affection Of his
family, and had to give up his COM
mission in the army. In the mean
time, Lord Francis procured divorce,
and Capt. Strong married May Yohe.
Strong afterwards left her and for
some years she dropped out Of public
notice and 1t was only recently that
the news went abroad from San Fran
cisco that May Yohe was singing In
10-cent vaudeville houses. When last
heard from Strong was running a
gambling house in Macoa, China.

of the life of May Yohe, now waiting

GETTING EVEN WITH MAMMA
In This Case, child's Punishment Ger
tainIy Failed to Have saIu-
tary Effect.

A little girl had been so very
naughty that her mother found it
necessary to shut her up in dark
closet-in that family the direst
punishment for the worst offense.
For Is minutes the door had been
locked without a sound coming from
behind It. Not whimper, not a snif1e.
At last the stern but anxious parent
unlocked the closet door and peered
into the darkness. She could see
nothing.
What are you doing in there?" she
cried
And then a little voice piped from
the blackness:

DOCTORS FAILED AGAIN.
The GREAT KIDNEY
REMEDY SAVED HIM

About ten years ago suffered severely
with inflammation of the neck of the blad-
der and was also troubled considerably
nights by numerous desires to urinate.
One night was compelled to get up
from my bed nineteen times. I had sew
eral doctors but their prescriptions
seemed to have but little effect. At last
upon the recommendation of friend
tried DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root and
found immediate relief
l began to get well after the first half
dozen doses, and am now in an ordinary
state of good health I consider Swamp
Root cured me and ! believe it is q fine
