Preparing for the Stage.


Dear Miss Grey: j am
girl of ii years of age. My
parents are wealthy and are
giving me the best advan-
tages in schooling. am
preparing for the stage and
have been taking dramatic
art for some time.
Miss Grey, some of my
friends tell me l cannot be
an actress without being
vulgar and unfit for social
life. Is this true? Does it
depend on what kind of an
I actress you are? have
number of actress friends
and all have told me about
stage life. In my estima-
ton, 1 would love it.
MARGUERITE.
A.-What Kind of an actress
you are, is the whole thing in a
nutshell. You will find high and
low in all stages of life. 1t mat
tiers not what profession you
choose, as long as 1t is honorable
you can be decent.
The stage offers more tempta-
lions than some occupations, but
it is not dishonorablc only as you
make it so. A first-class actress
must be refined, we'll educated
and broad.
"Are We Always Thinking?"
Dear Miss Grey: L want
to ask you few questions
and hope to see an answer
soon. Are we not always
thinking except when we are
asleep and not dreaming
that Is, isn't our brain al
ways working?
Are there more Indians i'm
the United States today than
when Columbus came here,
or are they a dying race?
My father and teacher and I d
have had an argument about
it and 1 would like to prove
it. G. M.
A.-You have asked a question
about which as yet no definite
conclusion has been formed. Some
persons claim our brains are al
ways active, even though we are
asleep.
The population of American
Indians has decreased much since
the landing of Columbus, and
there are few of those who re-
main that are of the pure blood,
as they have intermarried with
other races to great extent. It
is true that the race Is gradu-
ally dying because they cannot
stand civilization.

AS TOLD BY AUNT GERTIE

CHAPTER II.
The next day the boys of the
neighborhood gathered again
under the roof where the stork
family was summing itself!
Again the boys shouted and
jeered. Again the baby storks
were frightened and fearful.
Mother, dear, will the
naughty little boys get us and
burn us?" they cried to their
stork mother.
''No, indeed, children DEAR"
she answered. Instead 1 will
teach you to fly SO that if they
ever do come up here you can
get away from them.
81 will teach you myself.
Then we shall fly over to the
meadow and call upon the frogs.
Would you like to do that?"
Eyes, yes, mother" said the
little storks in chorus. "Let us
begin to learn to fly right away"
81 think that is very good
plan," said mother stork. For
you see, in the autumn ALI the
storks hold a convention and
any child stork who is old
enough and cannot fly is stabbed
to death by the great General
Stork, who oversees the exer-
cises and the drills!
"Let us begin today to drill.
You must all pay strict attention
to me so that you will be sure
to know how to fly when the
General comes"
From that day on the little
storks drilled on the roof, and
the small boys stood on the
ground, nearby, and watched
and jeered.
after the convention, chill
dren," added the mother stork,

"And what will become of the
naughty boys, mother, dear?"
asked the baby storks.
"Will they freeze to pieces?"
''No, my dears, but they will
be almost as badly off, for they
will have to sit by the warm fire,
all huddled up. And while We
are so comfortable down In the
southern countries the water

Helen was a waitress. She never
went out much, but accepted an in
vitation one evening from a young
man who regularly patronized the
restaurant She was an easy VIC
tim.
A millionaire took a fancy to her
and she was transferred from a
downtown station" in Los Angeles
to a residence on Adams St, one of
the best resident streets. The mil
lionaire paid the bills and kept her
there. He called occasionally with
his friends. Finally she rebelled.
The sInvers had disposed of
her to him for 800 and given
her but IA very small percent

Helen made a scene, too. The
rich man beat a hasty retreat. Next
day two private detectives arrested
Helen for vagrancy. She tried to
talk, but was told that IL she did
more serious charges would be
lodged. The police judge told her
to get out OF town.

about a woman that broke away

She lived in constant fear of

never forget or forgive. But they

Youthful Love.
Dear Miss Grey: Is IL
true that every young girl
meets "a woman during her
life that she becomes infatu-
ated with? l know a lady
that l love more than any
one in the world; but she
does not like me. How can
1 forget her?
FOURTEEN YEARS.
Avery often a young girl
falls in love" with an older
woman, for the simple reason
that during extreme youth a girl
is almost invariably a hero or
heroine worshiper. Sometimes
she will worship a dead hero
some character in history; some
times a man much older than
herself, as the little princess evil
IDENTITY did when she proposed re-
Gently to man about four times
as old as herself; and sometimes
1t is silly boy she worships.
This kind of love is very harm
less if not carried too far, and is
often of great benefit if the older
man or woman is really worthy
of the exaggerated worship of the
younger person. Perhaps you are
too profuse in your attention to
the lady, and perhaps she is not
wise enough to realize she has a
golden opportunity to be of help
to you. Don't worry, child. If
she is a good woman to love 1t
will benefit you anyway.

LOSES IN SUIT
FOR ORGANS

BALTIMORE, June 26.-The de-
murrer offered by the family of Ed
ward o. Painter the late Jacksonville
fertilizer man, against the appoint
ment of a receiver for his visoera,
was overruled by Judge Duffy in Cir
cult Court to-day. The receivership
proceedings, however, were continued
until July Is, during which time the
defendants may show cause why a
receiver should not be appointed.
When the case is reopened Judge
Duffy will take testimony tending to
show why a receiver should be named
to take charge of the Painter organs.
In the meantime they will remain
here in the possession of DR.. Charles
Chaser, chemist, to whom they were
sent from Jacksonville for analysis.
In overruling the demurrer Judge
Duffy said that the attorneys for the
Painter family and Coroner Abbott
had not shown if was within the ju-
risdiction Of the court to appoint
receiver for the organs. The court,

morning as having recovered from the
effects of ptomaine poisoning which
they suffered while on picnic.
Mrs. Poole said she had taken the
children to the country Wednesday,

for lunch had disagreed with them.
A hurry call to police headquarters
announced that they had been
strangely poisoned.
The first signs that the children
were suffering became evident at 3
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Wal

years old, were taken violently Ill
simultaneously after they had return
