He will employ counsel, he said today,
and will take steps to answer an impli.

also the author of the charges against
A. R. Cooley, who was given prelimin-

who would avenge his brothers. death,
and had supplied Cooley with funds af.

YVoNNE DE TREvILLE's
PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED

When Yvonne de Treville was little
girl, her good American mother taught
her how to pray in the good mother
like fashion. The child, like other chill
dren, frequently implored the Almighty
to send her things, which may or may
have not been the best for her welfare.
She was mere mite when she took her
first violin lessons and a few years
older, she learned to play the harp. She
sang before she could read, and so was
a thoroughly musical child, and in her
childish fancies, everything she longed
for, was worth praying for. One night,
after repeating her usual supplication,
she prayed that she might olive to
grow up and sing Marguerite in
'Faust;' to play the Rubinstein romance
on the violin, and the berceuse by Has
selmanna on the harp"
1t was not so many years after that
all Of the prayers of the petite de Tre-
vile were answered. She has sung the.
role of the heroine in Gounod s Faust r
hundreds Of times, and as the prima.
donna always travels with her Irish
harp and Italian violin, she has played
over thousand times, some of the ia.
vorite pieces of her childhood days.

FAMOUS WOMAN HER BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
VICTORIA QUEEN OF SWEDEN
By MARY MARSHALL

Gustav's devotion to the clergyman =
dS4ghter was sincere and he would will
ingly have abandoned his throne for her
sake, but his father tactfully and low
ingly persuaded him that 1t was his duty
to look forward to being king. and that
country girl without a drop of royal
blood in her veins could never become
Queen Of Sweden.
Gustav was exceedingly patriotic and
he saw the wisdom of his fathers per
suasion.- so he left the pretty country
girl and turned his thoughts to Princess
Victoria OF Baden, whom he has long
since learned to love devotedly.
The present King Gustav Is a tall, pale.
quiet King, fond of outdoor sports, and
exceedingly loyal to his fatherland.
Queen Victoria seems to have but one
fault and that is the fact that she is an
imaginary invalid. She imagines that she
is i'll and as a matter OF fact specialists
from all OveIIthe world have assured
themselves that she was perfectly well.
She is simply a hydrochondriac. She be-
lieves that she is suffering from con-
sumption in its early stages. with the re-
suit that she never remains in Sweden
during the cold weather. but hurries on
to the famous European watering places,
the Riviera and the Mediterranean, with

How to Lose Your Tan,
FreckIes or Wrinkles

A days motoring, an afternoon on the
tennis ground or golf links, a sunbath on
the beach or exposure on sea trip, often
brings on a deep tan or vivid crimson or,
more perplexing still, a vigorous crop OF
freckles. A very necessary thing then Is
mercolized wax, which removes tan, red
ness or freckles quite easily. 1t literally
peels OF the affected skin-Just little at
a time, so there's no hurt or injury. As
the skin comes on in almost invisible
fiaky particles, no trace of the treatment
is shown. Get an ounce of mercolized wax
at your druggists and use this nightly as
you would cold cream, washing 1t on
mornings. In a week or SO you will have
an entirely new skin, beautifully clear,
transparent and of a most delicate white
ness.
Wrinkles, so apt to form at this season.

bathing the face in a solution Of powder
