SEVENTY MILES AN HOUR.
When "Smilins George" Robertson
Threw THINGS,

Threw inings.
Automobile maniacs of all sorts, from
the owner Of a runabout to the fiend with
the six-cylinder giant, will find great
pleasure in an article called 1.-THE Speed
King" in Hampton's Magazine. 1t de-
tails all the experiences of the famous
contemporaneous automobile racers, the
drivers and mechanicians, their %peculiari-
ties and the risks they run.
OF George Robertson, the we'll known
driver, the following anecdote is told:
II happened In the famous back
stretch of the Merrimac Valley course.
Robertson held the lead by a slight mar
gin and was pushing his engine to the
limit. Just as the car rushed into an un.
frequented and very rutty section of the
circuit, something happened. To quote
Robertson:
1--WE were making 70 miles an hour
when suddenly l heard a crack. The next
second l fell through to the floor Of the
car. The seat had broken under me.
There 1 lay with my hands on the wheel
and my feet sticking up in the air. I
could not see the road In front Of me, and
did not know where the car was going.
Just before Glenn Ethr.dge, my mechani-
clan, grabbed me by the shoulders and
pulled me UP, the car tilted perceptibly.
1t almost tipped over. / tell you I thought
we were goners!
mo l haven't said anything about 1t.
Why should II"
Smiling George" they call him. and his
sunny countenance certainly bears out
the nickname. Robertson is a big, solid,
good looking youth, who gives the impress
sion that nothing could move him. He
fairly radiates vitality. In everyday life
he is an easy-going, merry, careless chap.
In a race he Is another man. At times
he acts like a maniac. He has been known
to strike the men in the repair pits when
they did not work fast enough to suit
him. On the road he IS absolutely fear
less. TIL other drivers turn out" for
him. On more than one occasion, Robert
son has scraped the paint off a car that
was slow In giving him leeway.
A story is told of Robinson's behavior
during the Briarcliff race. 1t was said
that he had hurled a monkey wrench at
another driver who deliberately tried to
block him. When Robertson was asked
about this he appeared highly incensed.
Honestly, do you think I'd throw my
wrench at anyone? Why, it's absurd!
Suppose I should need that wrench during
the race! II 1 threw anything I threw
spare nuts"

DOCTORS AND TURKISH WOMEN
Medical Men Called Now to Attend
Inmates of Harems,

inmates OF HaremS.
C~onstantinople correspondence Of the
Lancet.
The attitude of the hanums to med
lcal practitioners has changed much Of
REGENTS years. Twenty or 80 years ago
no Turkish woman would ever have
submitted to a physical examination by
a doctor. All he could have persuaded
her to do would be to show him her
tongue through a rent in the yash-
max or let him touch her pulse from
behind a heavy curtain n in presence
or course, OF an argus-eyed eunuch or
old female slave.
Any attempt to apply a stethoscope
to the chest would have been spurned
as an impertinent presumption Of
western "barbarism." No matter
how severe the illness the medical
limits Of Islamatic usage and tradi-
tional custom. even in cases Of i'm
minent danger to life these scanty linn
its were v allowed to be over
stepped, and the belief in the incanta-
tons OF a priest and the house reme-
dies OF old, ignorant and superstitious
women held unlimited sway and was
always greater than the faith in the
efficacy of medical skill and science.
This Is now changing and changing
rapidly. There are, Of co'Y"se, still
many exceptions, where aatiquated
views n conceptions are fanatically
adhered to and practiced, but these
are becoming rarer and rarer with
each advancing year Many Turkish
will now, when i'll, voluntarily
call on a medical practitioner and
never hesitate to submit themselves
to a thorough physical examination.
The general public opinion on these
matters among the Turks Is fast al
tering for the better and only in very
rare cases Is there now any difficulty
at all raised as to letting the hanum
submit to an examination with stetho-

EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH
VILLAGE

I'm Dowlais, South Wales, about ff-
zen years ago, families were strick-
IN wholesale by a disease known as
he itch. Believe me, it is the most
terrible disease of its kind that l
know of, as it itches all through your
body and makes your life an inferno.
Sleep is out of the question and you
leel rs if a million mosquitoes were
attacking you at the same time. I
knew a dozen families that were so
affected.
THE doctors did their best, but
heir remedies were Of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried a drug
Bist who was noted far and wide for
ais remarkable cures. People came
10 him from all parts of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse, as a last resort
they were advised by a friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to
tell you that after a few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Resolvent, the effect was wonder
full and the result was a perfect cure
in all cases.
Il may add that my three brothers,
three sisters, myself and all our fam
pies have been users of the C~uticura
Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas

From the Book-Keeper.
Americans have made Winnipeg, Re-

have cleaned up fortunes in the last
few years because Of the Canadians
themselves. I will give one instance
Of fortune making which clearly
under the head Of unusual business
methods"
In a thickly settled prairie district
not far from Moose Jaw, a few Cana
dams had opened up a coal mine, the
product OF which they sold to the sur
rounding farmers. Settlers would
come in wagons and sleighs and load
their own winter fuel. which cost them
from 81 to 81 a ton, according to the
run. 1t was early winter when I first
made the acquaintance Of this mine
and Its remarkable superintendent"
M my first reception from this in
diVidual was a fierce yell on his part
and the frantic brandishing Of a long
stick, and the words: What the devil
are you doing. Can't you see? Are
you stone blind?"
1 was literally walking through his
BOOKS! Since morning-and this was
at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon-he had
been keeping a record Of outgoing
sleighs and wagons of coal in the
snow! About 20 farmers were drawing
that day. With his stick he had writ
ten the initials of each in a clean spot
In the snow, and with that same stick
had registered the number of tons they
had taken away. 1 had spoiled one-
half of his books and 1t was an hour
before he became at all affable. 1 was
still more ~astonished when I entered
the "superintendent's" little board Of
flee. The walls were black with pencil
marks, figures and names. A fire
would have burned down his book" Of

a ruin the cloudy heaven

AS a ruin the cloudy heaven
Shakes to the winds wild Shocks:
To the echoing bolts of the leven,
AS a wreck the ocean rocks;
And the storm on earth careering
Seems, with its thunderous roll,
The laugh of a monster jeering
At the dreams Of the human soul.
But behind the ephemeral thunder
Smiles the eternal sun,
Whose glory provokes no wonder,
Since only a ommon one.
o Truth, 30 close al our portals,
With silent but constant sign,
When shall we learn, dull mortals,
The common is divine?

The Home of the Cod.

bank in the world besides those off
Newfoundland. II lies off Cape Agul-

be almost a duplicate in size and rich
ness Of the north cod banks. But
this is too far off, so there is little

The Motor Was Working Well.

A Canadian lawyer tells this one:
A bailiff went out to levy on the con-
tents of a house. Tie inventory began
in the attic and ended in the celler.
When the dining room was reached,
the tally of furniture ran thus:
"One dining room table, oak.
lone set chairs CO., oak,
zone ~sideboard, oak,
1.-TWO bottles whisky, full"
Theu the word full was stricken
out and replaced by empty" and the
inventory went on in a hand that
struggled and lurched d%iagonally
across the page until it closed with:
one revolving doormat."

Loves Pathway,

Loves pathway Is a winding trail
Just wide enough for two to tread;
They wander far DER hill and dale,
While Cupid wings his way o'erhead.
IL wayside brambles should annoy,
Their steps have strayed too far apart;
The way is but a heightened Joy
If lovers tread 1t heart to heart.
For those whose souls are pure and fine,
Kind heaven a magic spell doth send;
For by some sorcery divine
Loves circling pathway has no end.

gelatin in one fourth of a cupful of cold
water and dissolve in one cupful Of boil

each of sugar and vinegar, two table
%spoonfuls of lemon-juice and one tea

mixture begins to thicken add one cup
full Of celery cut in very small pieces,
one-half cupful Of finely shredded

Turn into a mold and chill thoroughly.
Remove from mold to cold serving dish
and surround with thin slices Of cold
cooked corned beef overlapping one an
other. Cold boiled tongue is quite as
good as corned beef with this jelly
combination, when the dish seems a
little bit choicer, perhaps. In either
case, don't forget the garnish of cell
