 He made speech at the Players club on the first founders night after the death of Edwin Booth. He felt that it was a delicate position in which he was placed. He had to speak first of Booth who had recently died. and then he had to turn the mood of the audience and make them laugh about other things He spoke for ten or twelve minutes and stopped. and the audience cried. Go on! Go on,' and he talked for ten or fifteen minutes more. Gen. Horace Porter said to me afterWard When did Jef- ferSon commence to develop this wonderful faculty of speech making?

Eairnins and Other Pina.

Hairpins have been elaborated as a
means of decoration since the earliest
times. Particularly beautiful is the
variety and delicacy of their workman
ship, two of the finest specimens being
the gold pins which were found at
Salamis in Cyprus, and are now in the
British museum. Even more hand
some were the Saxon pins of later
date, with their shank of brass, head
of gold, and establishment of garnets
and pearls. There were, too, the larg-
er sort of pins so conspicuously and
frequently mentioned in the Bible. The
instrument driven by Jael through the
temple of Sisera was probably tent
pin. while Delilah fastened the web
of Samson's hair with pin or batten.
In the middle ages pins were great
fashion-indeed, a great necessity
in France, and we have it on record
that in 1347 10000 pins were removed
from the royal wardrobe for one OF
the French princesses. The conven
fence was probably little later IL
reaching England, but in 1910 we hear
of Queen Catherine (Howard) import
ing pins from France. In 1860 the
trade underwent considerable change,
brass superseding iron, while at the
same time the price was lowered.

An average of less than a cent and

Woman S Beauty is
Based ON Health
To Have Health, Bowel
Movement is Absolutely
NeCeSSdry-HOW Best
to Obtain ii

II woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics every woman would be a
picture of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. 1t lies in health.
In the majority of cases the basis of
health and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do shabitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not
eat carefully, they eat indigestible
foods because the foods are served
daintily and they do not exercise
enough. But whatever the particular
cause may be it is important that the
condition should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
quirements, is Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepsin. which thousands of women en-
dorse highly. Mrs. Jennie Snedeker
1O41 West Monroe ST., Chicago, testi-
fies that she is "cured of grave stom-
ach and bowel troubles by using Syrup
Pepsin and without the aid of doc
tor or any other medicine" All the
family can use Syrup Pepsin, for thou
sands of mothers give it to babies and
children. It is also admirably suited
to the requirements of elderly people,
in fact to all who by reason of age or
tnfirmity cannot stand harsh salts, ca
thartics, pills or purgatives. These
should always be avoided for at best

Dorothy was particularly well-bres
child, and her faults were few; but if
she had one, it was perhaps an excess
of fastidiousness as regards her food.
This trait her fond mamma was ever
at great pains to eradicate, SO that on
one occasion when she observed the
young woman gazing with suspicion
on an egg, she fastened to reassure
her.

perfectly good; and remember that
many a little girl would be thankful
for what you leave"
This remark did not seem to con-
vince the child of the good quality OF
the egg in question, but she neverthe-
less proceeded with it's negotiation
with commendable fortitude.
At last, however, she could hold out
no longer, and her stern parent was re-
luctantly obliged to acknowledge that
she had been hasty, when Dorothy's
piping voice was heard inquiring:
Mother, must I really eat the
beak?"

A BOY INTERPRETER
A Young Massachusetts Swede in Can
ada Twenty Years Ago Wants
to Return.

Twenty years ago, blond-haired
young Swede, boy of about 10 years
of age, accompanied party of his
feIlow-countrymen on the then long
trip to Western Canada as IAN inter-
prefer. The party he accompanied To-
Gated at Wetaskiwin, Alberta, now one
of the most thriving and best settled
districts in Western Canada. For
three years he remained in the dis
trict. Inconsistencies took him back
to his home at Fitchburg, Mass, and
he has remained there for II years.
He has heard frequently from his
friends in the West. He has followed
their movements and watched their
progress. He has heard how the town
he helped to establish has risen from
a shack to a growing, thriving, brisk
business center, with the surrounding
country peopled now by thousands
who are occupying the territory in
which he was one of the first to help
plant the colony of twenty or twenty
i've. In his letter to an official of the
Department of the Interior, he says:
"When / was up in Canada, Calgary
was small town and so was Edmon-
ton, but l understand they have grown
wonderfully since"
The young man when he went last
learned a machine trade, he has pat
ents and inventions but he wants to
go to Canada again. And he likely
will, but when he does he will find a
greater change than he may expect.
Calgary and Edmonton are large
cities, showing marvellous and wonder
full growth. Where but one line of
railway made a somewhat tortuous
and indefinite way across the plains
to its mountain pass, there are three
lines Of railway dividing the trade of
hundreds of thousands of farmers,
carrying freight to the hundreds
of towns and cities crossing and
criss-crossing the prairies in all
directions, reaching out into new
settlements, and preceding districts to
be newly opened for incoming settlers.
He will not be able to secure home
stead unless at considerable distance
from the town, the three dollar an
acre land is selling at from SIS to $35
an acre He will find now what was
but theory then, that this land that
was then SO an acre is worth the $50
or $35 that may be asked for it, and a
good deal more. But ne will find that
he can secure a homestead just as
good as any that were taken in his
day, and today worth $35 an acre, but
at some distance from a line of rail
way, yet with a certainty Of railway
in the near future, and he will find too
that he can still get land at SIS to $1S
an acre that will in year or two be
worth $50 or $35 an acre. Mr.. Nose

Willow Switches Given Away.

The small boy whose father has
time to apply the switch should be-
ware with little more than his usual
caution. The United States govern
ment is giving away willow switches.
The department of agriculture has
an experiment farm at Arlington, Va,
and some parts of it were found to be
too wet for raising ordinary crops.
Therefore the experts set willows out
in the wet places, and there has been
so smart a growth that the govern
ment wants to get rid OF the willow
switches. 1t offers to give them away
under the guise of willow cuttings TO
make baskets or bottom chairs, but
no smart boy will ever be deceived by
that kind of talk He may be safe
only in the assurance of the govern
ment that only one hundred of the
cuttings will be given to one person.
