After two tremendous weeks in
New York City she made straight for

week" beginning Monday matinee,

Much has been said and written
about Miss Tanguay, but her favorite
criticism written by Nell Brinkley is
as follows:
Eva Tanguay is a FREELY, thing
OF light and laughter and Tilt She is
like the mote Of light one may throw
on a mirror, as children do, that flick
ers and fits, and plays up the walls
and trembles, and oies again.
She hustles your heart away from
you, whether you will or no-in the
way a kiddie might-with shouting
and teasing, and racing, and coaxine
fingers, and feet that throb like jingle
bells at the end Of a slender thread
She comes in froth and flounces like
surf, making your head wag to the
soft humping of her feet, and grin
ming at her with your heart pasted
where she can see, she goes out like
golden and silken hurricane.
But she comes again, sassy in
startling Frenchy black and white
tied under the pointed chin witt
black, and sporting an absurd little
/ parasol like the one that goes will
your dolls wardrobe.
And she comes in shining blue
like some girls eyes-blue like tn
/ sky; short, tight blue.
And she comes in white and silver
Like a coat OF mail, that makes
gentle sound of the shiff-shiff OF tn
failing rain, when she dances.
she is leaping, and laughter, an,
light. and my hearts gone. Oh, Ho
she is big and fine. But you don
think of her that way. When you g
away all you think of is grace, an
ceaseless motion of feet and hand
and head, and hazel eyes"

The Incident That Won Tom Corwin's
First Fight For Congress.
"When ] saw the oil painting Of Tom
Corwin in the treasury" said an Ohio
man. It could not but recall the story
told in Corwin's old home of Lebanon
Of how he won his first election to
congress. He was young man and
already noted as an orator. but he
had a hard district and little encour-
agement for election. He was making
his tour Of the counties and one night
stopped at the double cabin OF a farm
er known to be a very feryent advo.
cate Of political policies of the oppo-
sition. Corwin talked politics care
fully with the old man and his sons
before bedtime. but had little hope OF
winning a single vote in the house
hold. In the morning the old man
took Corwin outside and announced
that every voter in the family would
be for him on election day. This
astonished and delighted Corwin. who
could not help but ask why the sudden
change Of heart
The OLD man told now the opposition
candidate had stopped at his house
one night the week before and how
the host and wife had watched the
candidate go to bed. To their disgust
he actually put on a nightgown like
those worn by a woman. This dis
gusted the rugged old pioneer. Their
Corwin was told how the old farmer
and his wife had watched him go tC
bed. and as he had not bothered about
q nightie they determined he was mo-
taken to friIls. Corwin could see tbs
humor of the incident. and in every
succeeding speech he told that night
shirt story on the other candidate
holding him up to scorn. The result
was q victory for Corwin. and h
owed It all to that story Of q shirt

close, Harvard's hopes of winsing the
1912 championship mount high. But
two rivals, Dartmouth and Yale, stand
in her way. These rivals will not be
easily beaten, and Soldiers Field has
presented a busy scene this week
where the Crimson warriors have pol
ished up the play for Saturday, and
devised and perfected some Of the
formations that have been selected
for the undoing Of Eliet.
Since the Observation-Disclosures

tack have been analysed and de
lenses built up for it. The offense
has also been braced. "a good of
fense,' states Coach Haughton, ''is
the best defense"
Captain Wendell has been doing
only light work this week, but he Ii
expected to take big part in Satur
days game. Parmenter, who is show
ing up as one of the strong men o.
the squad, will also be on hand tt

Suicide Epidemic.

So alarmingly Is self-destruction on the
increase In Scandinavia that an anti

The promoters urge, to begin with, that
the newspapers should refrain from pub

They claim to have proved by IN exam
nation OF cases recorded that the publica-
ton OF particulars Of self-destruction has
almost invariably been followed by other
cases, carried out in the same way.
Scores OF moderns, they declare. have

which the suggestion of suicide has a
dangerous attraction.
After that they propose to agitate for
restrictive regulations to make 1t more
difficult to obtain firearms and poisons.
Such legislative action Is. however, re-
Garded as quite secondary in importance
