Thus Ethel Barrymore became a
star on the very stage that her fam
lily had made so prominent and put
an end to the financial woes she had
encountered during her earlier ambl-
ton to become a famous pianiste. The
success of Miss Barrymore in Capt.

debut into stellar honors is theatrical
history, but affluence has not made
Ethel Barrymore any less human anc
lovable than when she was the slip
of a girl almost frightened at the
tremendous sensation she had created
and the popularity that followed.

COMBAT WITH THEIR HEADS
Giraffes Have Distinctly Peculiar
Method of Settling Differences That
Arise Among Themselves.

While the giraffe can hardly be
classed among the fierce duelists Of
the animal world, yet animals of this
species are known to have their COM
bats like their more ferocious fellows.
The long-necked beast has an original
and curious method of fighting 1t has
neither claws nor beak nor sharp teeth
with which to defend or attack, so
when it is out of temper with one of
its kind 1t does not fly in. the face of
Providence by trying to disembowel it's
adversary, as rhinoceros might, or
tear 1t, as tiger would. On the con-
trary, the giraffe, knowing that it has
been provided by nature with a long
and pliable neck, terminating in q very
solid head, uses the upper part of
itself like fail, and, swinging its
neck around and around in a way that
does immense credit to it's organiza-
ton, brings its head down at each
swing with a thump on its antagonist.
The other combatant uses precisely
the same tactics, and the two animals,
planting themselves as firmly as pos
sible by stretching out on all four legs
to. the utmost, stand opposite to each
other hammering away with their
heads until one or the other has had
enough.
The head of the giraffe is furnished
with two stumpy, hornlike processes,
SO that the animals when at this ham,
mer-and-tongs mode of warfare, re-
mind the spectator somewhat of two
ancient warriors humping each other
with the spiked balls they used to
carry for that purpose at the end of
chain.-New York Herald.

WROTE OF LIFE AT HARVARD
Author Now Forgotten Conceded to
Have Been the First to Depict
Undergraduate Days.

Harvard graduates, the world over,
have long believed that the earliest
pictorial record Of undergraduate life
at the oldest college in the United
States was made when f. G.. Atwood
drew his pictures of college life for
the first volume Of the Harvard Lam
pooh. The Lampoon was the fore
runner of humorous journalism to
America; Atwood became a famous
humorist; and his Manners & Gus
toms of We Harvard Studente" was es-
tablished as classic. The discovery
OF a time-stained book in a New Eng
land farmhouse reveals an earlier
craftsman, whose college Scenes"
antedate "Ye Harvard Studente" by
about quarter of a century, but were
soon generally forgotten. Of N. Hay
ward, the artist, no record remains
but the bare fact that he was then in
college. The diseoverer, however, had
q rare afternoon when he found the
volume in a dusty chest, where it had
been packed away with a lot Of con-
temporary textbooks and an old Har-
ward diploma.-Ch Christian Science Mon

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Ritro-Phosphats
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Visor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
Ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people tleshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly holloWs and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
ana beauty, there are evidently thousands
OF men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
FOODS. Physicians claim there is nothing
tnat Will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance: the in
crease in weight frequently being aston
ishing.
Increase in weight also carries with 1t
a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro-phosphate
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness, it
should not, owing to it's tendency to IN
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

Historic Strasbouro,

In establishing the administration
of the restored provinces of Alsace,
Lorraine in the city of Strasbourg, the
people of France have regained a rich
ly historic ground, says the Boston
Transcript. Its cathedral, whose build
ing engaged the services Of famous
architects and decorators for the pc
Rod of four centuries before reaching
the completion in which it stands to-
day, is one Of the marvels of the world.
It's great university has a library of a
million volumes and before the war
It's students numbered more than g
900.
These are the local glories, but a
universal fame has been gained by
the products of it's more intimate
talent. Thus, Alsatian wine has had
worldwide recognition since the mid
die ages; Strasbourg beer was known
before America was discovered, and as
for that delicacy so priced by the fas-
tidious taste of gourmands, the pate
de fois gras, the name of Strasbourg
is the certificate Of extreme excellence.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root il
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
30 many applicants Cor insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the Ame lean people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even inspect
that they have the disease 1t is on sale

Improved oll.Rurner.

A new oil-burner for the kitchen
stove, announced from Cairo, Egypt, is
attachable by a special flange to the
CRATE door, and 1t neither requires
alteration Of the solid fuel stove nor
prevents the use of solid fuel. The
nozzle projects about an inch into the
CRATE, the oil tank being mounted on
suitable rack outside the stove. A
small fire heats the fuel oil to about
$50 degrees Fahrenheit, and as the oil
passes from the nozzle, a jet of com
pressed air or steam converts it into a
spray that burns with a continuous
smokeless and odorlsss flame. In Cal

JACOB scUDpER GALLOWAY

Death, that is gathering in rich prizes from young and old.
neh and poor, low1y and lordly, every day, seldom reaps as
Hpenea and mellow a prize as when Judge Jacob S, Galloway
was called hence.
He was one OF the unusual men Of the times. Long ago
ne mad ceased being an individual, and had become an estab-
hshed institution among his people in Shelby county, Born,
reared and educated near the shores of the North Atlantic, he
was transplanted to the South shortly before the beginning of
the late Civil war, and he at once became indigenous and a part
OF ms adopted section OF the country. He was broadly and at
the same time intensely American, and found much to admire
IN people from every section Of the country,
When war broke out he enlisted as a Confederate soldier
and for four years he met the suffering and privation of those
VINO battled so valiantly for the Lost Cause; and he carried to
his grave scars that told of wounds received during the awful
conflict. Age and infrmihes of life's decline had no pcrceptiblc
eifeet on his splendid intellectual endowment, and to the last he
was the same scholar and student as he was in his youth.
Bright, cheerful and optimistic, he was a fountain Of inspira-
uon 70 those with whom he came in contact, and he was pleased
most when he felt that he was most helpful. His religion was
broader than denominatonaism, and extended to the confines
OF humanity, and its chief sacrament was service to his fellow
man whenever the opportunity presented itself, and in this serv,
ice ne would do whatever came to his hand no matter how
tonsonely operose.
His faith in the common people and their institutions was
beautiful and unwaverlng, The masses might do wrong now
ana then, but, given time, they would right themselves, because
the popular consciousness seeks to do right at all times.
The classics are the most volatile of all cultural accom-
phshnents' and are first to evaporate and leave the mind. They
never escaped Judge Galloway. He was continually refreshing
and r~eplenishing. No form of enjoyment was greater TO him
than to have a congenial spirit sit with him half an hour or so
declining. Greek verbs, transatng a few hexameters or doing

The death OF such a man is a loss to his community and
the world that can be lily afforded. We are all, m~casurabiy,
the poorer for it but the spiritual cordials and tones that radi-
ated from him during his long life will remain to cheer and
strengthen, His influence for good will long remain and be

When he departed he took a mans life with him.

There was considerable misgiving over the propriety of the

there can be no difference of opinion over his achievement, nor
any doubt that he has returned a bigger, broader and stronger

Except Tor President Wilson's presence at the conference
the world could not have correctly understood the ideals Of this
