The Appeal

The New First-Aid THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 28. NO. 1. T HE American Red Cross, that great humanitarian organization for relieving suffering and distress in time of peace as well as in time of war, is constantly broadening the scope of its activities. Its latest, and certainly one of its most important services on behalf of mankind is the placing in commission of a second hospital and school on wheels known as a first aid to the injured car. The object of this ingenious portable Red Cross headquarters is to interest and instruct in first aid work the railroad men and other toilers of the country. By means of this car the Red Cross will be equipped to carry on a much needed form of "displosion" "kick" and can get in close touch, as it could by no other method, with the workingmen of the land who are in a position to render the most valuable service as volunteer Red Cross workers. --- The first old car which has lately gone into commission is the second of these cars to be sent a wandering up and down the steel-track highways of the United States, but the first one, which was introduced less than a year ago, went forth with so modest a heralding that the general public heard little of it or its work. No sooner, however, had car No. 1 entered upon the work of giving induction in first aid to employees ofvard and systems than it became evident that the car be insufficient to meet the demands for this new service. Accordingly a second car was arranged for—an old parter car being purchased by the Red Cross and rebuilt for this specific purpose. Henceforth the Red Cross officials will be enabled to realize their dream to keep one of the cars constantly in service on the railroads west of the Mississippi and the other on the railway systems east of the Mississippi. The Red Cross first aid instruction car is rather small cars judged by present and also by this was designed so and is built rather than a length of a detriment. Indeed, with a car may be used not only on the mountain divisions of railways, with their sharp curves, but also on some trolley lines. Indeed, the car can be MAKING USE OF A FIRST AID CARRIER OR REMEDY taken almost anywhere where there are rails over which it may run. Incidentally it may be mentioned that the railroads of the country are manifesting their appreciation of the valuable and distinterested work which the Red Cross is doing in this sphere by hauling the first aid cars free of charge over their respective lines. The first aid car is divided into two parts of almost equal size. One-half of the space of the car is given over to an assembly and demonstration room—for, as has been explained, the car is a hospital school on wheels—and the other half is taken up by the living quarters for the instructors and crew. These men live on the car at all times, just as doctors and nurses might reside at a hospital with which they were connected. It is in the assembly and demonstration room, however, that the chief functions of the car are carried on. The room is large enough to accommodate a considerable number of people, seated on camp stools, so that it is entirely practicable to use it as a lecture hall in giving first aid instruction when there is no larger hall available in a town visited and when weather conditions do not permit of the first aid demonstrations being conducted in the open air. No wonder its first the count cte. Not on instruction is argued (hygiene) new type of accidence about one injury or the exerce venting to tea to how it does appear. The Red the lesson cars, alth the direct plemenant important surgical in unskill been issue But the first aid car has another function quite aside from its primary purpose of a nomadic school. It may, on occasion, be used as a temporary or emergency hospital and it is likely to prove of great value in this capacity, since it can, upon telegraphic request, be rushed to any camp or town or village where a disaster of any kind has taken place and where there are, mayhap, no regular hospital facilities of any kind. The car carries the necessary apparatus for quickly transforming the lecture room into a hospital ward and there is a stock of stretches, necessary bandages and all the paraphernula necessary to use under such circumstances. This latter equipment is addition, of course, to the appointments and instruction charts, books, etc., which are designed merely for use in the regular instruction work on the car and which later will probably be the equipment used nine-tenths of the time, for summons to lend aid in great disasters will, happily, it is hoped, be of rare occurrence. Few people appreciate the great need for more general instruction in first aid work such as the Red Cross is going to try to give through the instrumentality of its new rolling stock. We have become pretty well around in this country THE APPEAL. THE NEW FIRST-AID CAR OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS INTERIOR OF A FIRST- AID CAR - DURING A DEMONSTRATION RENDERING FIRST-AID TO AN INJURED RAILROAD MAN in recent years over the menace of the "white plague," and yet as a matter of fact, since 1851 the deaths from tuberculosis in the United States have decreased 48 per cent, whereas in the same period the number of deaths from tuberculosis increased more than 47 per cent. Similarly the United States government has felt compelled within the past couple of years to take definite steps to reduce the number of accidents in our coal mines and yet the death rate from accidents on coal mines has increased more. Moreover, under present arrangements the needs of the miner in respect to first aid instruction seem to be met much better than in the case of some other industries. No wonder, then, that the Red Cross is directing its first aid propaganda to the railroad men of the country and to the workers in shops, mills, etc. Not only is the Red Cross giving widespread instruction in first aid to the injured (which it is argued is just as necessary as instruction in hygiene) but it is conducting, by means of this new type of car, a campaign for the prevention of accidents. Statistics seem to indicate that about one-half of the accidents which result in injury or death would have been preventable by the exercise of proper care and reasonable preventive measures and the Red Cross is endeavoring to teach workmen how to dodge mishaps and how to minimize the effect of an accident if it does occur. The Red Cross will not depend entirely upon the lessons and lectures given on the first aid cars, although these the way for effort in the direction of volunteer first aid work. Supplementing these are series of charts and, more important yet, simple books of instruction and surgical materials which can prove serviceable in unskilled hands. A special first aid book has been issued for the use of industrial workers and has been translated into Italian, Slovak, Polish and Lithuanian. In the near future there will be issued other editions of this work specially adapted for use by women, by policemen and firemen, by sailors and by farm hands and ranch workers. Of course it is not the thought that such instruction will enable even the most skilled of the medical personnel to perform the doctor except in the case of trivial injuries with the new knowledge these volunteers will know what to do until the doctor arrives, and often, by stopping a flow of blood or by other means, may be enabled to save life when a regular physician is not promptly on the scene. To cover the full scope of this new work the Red Cross has found it necessary to go even farther and to supplement its work of instruction by providing several different forms of first aid boxes equipped with certain simple remedies and necessities such as are required in putting the first aid instruction into practice in shops and elsewhere. These supplies are sold at prices which are intended merely to cover the cost of preparation without providing any profit, and that they supply a long felt want would seem to be indicated by the fact that the Red Cross has, during the past year, sold considerably more than $5,000 worth of such supplies. And, not content Defective Page with carrying this first aid crusade into the shops and mills and throughout the railroad world, the Red Cross has later enlisted the co-operation of the Boy Scouts of America, and first aid instruction is being given to all of the youngsters in this organization according to plans and methods prepared by the Red Cross. Such are the demands upon it that a first aid car cannot remain for long at any given point. The general plan adopted is to spend about three days at each point selected by the railway officials—that is, the officers of the railroad sys. BANDAGING THE HEAD OF A BANDAGING THE HEAD OF A PELLOW WORKMAN them whose lines are being traversed. As many first aid demonstrations and lectures as possible are given in the time allotted. As a rule it is not practicable thoroughly to instruct men in first aid work in so short a time, but by learn considerable of the anatomy and there is an arousal of interest, which almost invariably results in the organization of a first aid corps which is developed by local physicians and with the aid of the Red Cross instruction books and emergency outfits. Still further to stimulate interest throughout the country the Red Cross has set aside of the fund $5,000 the income of which is to be funnelled into the first aid workers who show the greatest proficiency or who perform exceptionally dangerous or arduous first aid work. The past few years has seen remarkable progress in the proficiency of their nurses, and their fellows who have suffered injuries in the line of their work. injuries peculiar to our own speci- vation, modern antiseptic methods have been acquired and now the important victim of an accident is given all the chances in his fight for life that modern science can devise. There is no longer idle hands and anxious moments awaiting the ar- tificial end of the battle. Skillful hands perform the first aid treatment which gives relief to the sufferer, and in many cases means the saving of his life. All large manufacturing establishments are now equipped with first-aid chests supplied with all the necessary surgical and medical appliances for giving emergency treatment. Regular drills in ambulance work are conducted so that those who duty it is to care for the injured workmen may be kept at the highest state of proficiency. Humanitarian as well as financial reasons make it the part of wisdom for the employers to encourage in every way the first aid crusade among their workmen. One case is related to a worker in an office. One secretary who worked in such a skilful manner as to excite the wonder and admiration of the surgeons who later took charge of the injured man.

Indianapolis News remarks. When Columbus landed on the island of Guanahani, which he called San Salvador, on October 12, 1492, he and his men saw, to their great astonishment, a number of copper colored natives collected on the shore puffing cloups of smoke from their lips and noses. They were smoking what later came to be called tobacco, the leaves of which the natives had formed into cylindrical rolls within the husks of the Indian Corn. While this was evidently the most primitive way of burning the leaf, there were pipes long before Columbus arrived. Large numbers of pipes have been found in colonial Indian mounds in the central west, as well as along the eastern lakes and throughout the south. In 1619, when Cortez invaded Mexico, the natives smoked pipes made from reeds and richly ornamented. Montecuita, it has been recorded, was accustomed to take his pipe after dinner when it was brought to him with much ceremony by a bevy of beautiful maidens and handed to him after he had rinsed his mouth with scented water. The North American Indian usually made his pipes out of a kind of stone known as red pipe stone, of which there were large deposits in the slow country and the great spirit is said to have even indulged to this particular material, which might have been a Sloux monopoly, in these words: "This stone is red. It is your flesh. it belongs to you in all. Out of it make no more tomahawks, war hatchets nor scalpings, use it only to make the pipe of peace and smoke therefrom when you would propitiate me and do my will." CHANGED PLANS. A Chicago banker was dictating a letter to his stenographer. "Tell Mr. So-and-so," he ordered, "that I will meet him in Schenectady." DOOM LATTICE MAST Practically Indestructible, but Vibration Proves Handicap to Range Finders and Diminishes Accuracy in Gunnery. The skeleton masts on the United States battleships, distinctly a feature of American war craft, are sold to be deemed for the scrap heap. There is a great deal of discussion in naval circles over the military department report that the navy departments demand don the skeleton masts with which all battleships are now equipped because they have not come up to expectations, and from the viewpoint of naval experts are a hindrance and a handicap to efficient marksmanship. The vibration of the mast, due to its slender mechanism, is said to be the chief defect. For this reason the range finder, whose duty it is to pick up the object and communicate the information, was found to be able to do so with the property and accuracy that would be demanded in a naval engagement. When the skeleton mast was introduced on American battleships it was agreed generally a great step had been taken in advance of other nations. It was the belief then, and still is, that the mast is indestructible, which gave the ship in time of action a big advantage, if for the mast could not be shot away the fire control system of the vessel at no time would be threatened. The position of the range finder is at the top of the mast. He is the pulse of the ship, and mistakes made CORREA Masts of the South Carolina. by him may mean the destruction of the vessel. Naval experts figured a 12-inch shell would pass through the skeleton mast without destroying it, whereas one shot in the old style hollow steel mast would bring it down and with it the whole fire control system. It was calculated several shots could go through the skeleton masta and it still would stand. But from all indications those who advanced the skeleton mast theory evidently were wrong. The naval officers overlooked the drawback in another direction that would be caused by the vibration of a battleship steaming at full speed. How much depends upon the range finder can be understood only by men who make a study of fighting at long range, as was pointed out by an expert who says the skeleton masts are a failure. It was expected that when the lattice work masts first made their appearance other nations would be quick to adopt them. It was a surprise to advocate of the new type of mast that was not done. The skeleton mast is typically can naval idea, but from all indications the defects now seen by experts here were foreseen by experts in other navies, and the American mast let alone. Those in favor of the skeleton masts point to the excellent gunnery records made in target practice since their adoption as proof of their success, but the counter argument is advanced that if the range finders were placed on more substantial posts the marksmanship of the navy, increasing in excellence as it has done year by year, would be better. Further, for speed and accuracy would be smashed. The unpopularity of the skeleton masts has been growing steadily. It is said the change is not far off, and any day may see orders issued doing away with what a year or two ago was thought to be great stride forward in naval construction. Death Follows Alcohol Rub.

CLINGS TO WALL OF CANYON Government Road In the Yellowstone Park. Is a Triumph of Engineering Skill. United States government engineers have performed feats equal to those of the ancient Roman engineers in road building, a recent example of which may be found in the Yellowstone National park, where the government is spending millions of dollars in highway and other improvements. The illustration shows a road which on concrete pliers hangs to the side of the Golden Gate canyon as it Concrete Yellowstone Road. twists and twins its way in to the park. It is a triumph of engineering skill. The government has entire control of the park. All new roads opened and the repairs and maintenance of old roads and trails are entirely dependent upon congressional appropriations. The roads are now in very fine condition, a great deal of work and expense having recently been put upon them, and steel and concrete bridges have almost entirely replaced wooden ones. Prominent among the improvements is the construction of the fine lava arch entrance at Gardiner, at a cost of $10,000; the new concrete viaduct at Golden Gate, costing $10,000, to replace the old t堡 trestle; and the erection of a very fine concrete and steel bridge of artistic design across the Yellowstone river and ridge, the upper fall of the Yellowstone at the Grand canyon, at the expense of $20,000. Fort Yellowstone, the military post in the park at Mammoth Hot Springs. Here, also, are the headquarters of the United States engineer in charge of the park improvements, and the United States commissioner, Mammoth Hot Springs is thus the capital of the park. In recent years this place has been greatly improved. A rearrangement of roads, new buildings, concrete sidewalks, a new waterworks and an irrigation system and a consequent carpeting of grass on the old white plaza in front of the hotel and officers' quarters, has metamorphosed the locality. Mammoth Hot Springs is the largest and most important place in the park. Here all authority centers; it is the heart from which pulsate the currents of life which permeate the park.

Benchers, Barristers and Students Summoned by Ancient Method—Recalls Days When Clocks and Watches Were Unknown. London—Nowhere do old customs cling more firmly than in the ancient seat of legal learning, the Middle Temple, London, which still jealously guards the traditions it has inherited. To the present-day benchers, barristers and students are summoned to dinner each evening during term time by the blowing of a horn—a custom which has survived on this spot since the romantic days of the crusaders. Every evening at 5130 during the three weeks of the legal terms, a warder, in gold-braided uniform, procures the ox horn from the strong room of the Middle Temple, and proceeding to the famous fountain in Fountain court, summons the members to dinner by blowing a blast on this primitive instrument. The visits each court in turn, according to ancient custom, and many a bencher chooses his window to listen to the sound of the winding horn, which has been heard continuously in these precincts since the time when the Knights Templar established them selves there in 1184. Its use recalls the days when clocks and watches were unknown, and the voice of the watchman, calling out the time, was a familiar sound through the night watches. Sun dials were then the only guides the people possessed as to the flight of time, and of these more than one still survives. Summoning Lawyers to Dinner. with its quaint motto, on the walls of the Temple buildings. It is to the sworn enemies of the Knights Templar, the Saracens, oddly enough, that as we do, indeed, the greater part of our mathematical knowledge as well. When the Templars founded their new monastery between Whiettiers and Essex house in the Strand, the latter was, as its name implies, merely a beach beside the silver Thames, and all around was open country, the site of the present law courts being a large field which was used as a tilting ground by the knights. In later days, when the men of law had taken over the settlement of the Knights Templar students, who were resident in the Templar student office in the kitchen for their daily meals, they hurried breakfast in the buttery at eight o'clock they would take their law books, and wander off along the Strand, where, in summer time, they lay under the trees and bushes studying law. Some would row across the river to the Surrey fields, and wander through the open country. Half an hour before dinner the panyer man, who drew the daily supply of bread every morning from Westminster, used to take a large ox horn and walk along the side, blowing the horn as a signal to the student's to return to the temple for dinner. The panyer man, who was formerly charged with the duty of winding the horn, had also to provide the hall with a fireplace, and ingean his annual wages in 1638 members of the other useful members of the staff were the chief wash pot and the under wash pot, the chief turn broach, the steward's servant and under turn spit; the last named receiving 46 a year. The horn now in use in the Middle Temple possesses no antiquarian interest in itself, dating back only some ten years. It was brought over from the Argentine by one of the members shortly before it was found necessary to discontinue the use of the old one. "Te horn of ye Middle Temple" had become so decrept, through age and constant use, that the weird and fancy sounds it emitted were calculated to bring it into ridicule. It had become a mass of silver bands, which has been added from time to time to keep it together, and close up the cracks its sides. But in spite of these bays the air still escaped so freely that warder who blew it had to place handkerchief over the horn time he used it. So the ancient horn, which sounded the welcome summons her in form for generation placed on the retired list, and only sees the light on grand hall, when it is placed on with the rest of the Middle proud display of silver plate HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

If the Caucasians of this country held to the sentiment, "let the punishment fit the crime," without regard to the color or nationality of the alleged criminal, there might be less crime. But when white men know that out of over 2,000 murders committed by them during 1911 less than 200 were convicted and punished, they feel reasonably secure in killing when they feel like doing so. A crime committed by a black man is, in reality, not a particle more heinous than the same crime would be if committed by a white man; and, as it is a common principle in law that every man is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty before a jury of his peers, that principle should apply to all mankind alike. Hence, when a job of white men take upon themselves the responsibility of taking the of a man whose GREATEST IME, in their eyes, is his wearing black skin, they not only violate before mentioned principle of law, themselves become particeps crimin a murder. We do not condone W. H. PRESIDENT WILLIAM H. TAFT Sets at Rest Reports that He Would Decline Renomination. Says Nothing but Death Will Bar His Candidacy. Vigorous Campaign Planned. "Nothing but death can keep me out of the fight now." President Taft is reported to have made this statement to White House callers today, and to have added that he had no objection to the statement being made public. It undoubtedly was intended to set at rest all reports that Mr. Taft might withdraw from the race for the Republican candidate for President in favor of Col. Theodore Roosevelt. The President is said to be thoroughly aroused to the gravity of the situation in the Republican party and determined to let his attitude be generally understood. He has declared that under no circumstances will he withdraw his name from consideration by the Chicago convention next June and has asserted that his position will respect to the nomination has no changed in any particular since he first entered the White House. Mr. Taft has told friends and party leaders from the first that if he should be called upon to stand for re-elective he would be glad to do so; that he feared under obligations to the party for being made him President and was willing to abide its decision in the course. He adheres to this position according to announcement today, and will not quit the race until the nominating ballots are cast at Chicago. crime in anyone, but we believe in justice and fair play for all. We do not believe in capital punishment for any crime, under any circumstances, and we certainly do not believe that a mob of men can possibly be justified, either by God or by fair-minded men, when they take the law in their own hands and murder a man—mainly because his Creator saw fit to allow him to be born with a black skin. Does anybody think for one instant that King Davis, the Afro-American, aged 28 years, who was taken from the jail at Brooklyn, a suburb of Baltimore, early Christmas morning, and shot to death by a small body of unidentified men, would have been so murdered had he been white? He had shot and killed a white man Saturday night, but had been arrested and placed in jail and was entitled to a fair, impartial trial. The men who took him out and killed him were as guilty as he, but punishment to fit their crime will never be meted out to them. President Taft on Tuesday commuted to expire at once the life sentence of Arthur Adams and Robert Sawyer, two Negro British subjects, convicted at Wilmington, N. C. in 1906, of murder on the high seas. In a confession before his execution Henry Scott, another Negro, convicted of and hanged for the same crime, exonerated Adams and Sawyer. Originally Adams and Sawyer were sentenced to death, but this was commuted by President Roosevelt to life imprisonment. The prisoners were natives of the British West Indies, and the British Ambassador intervened to secure consideration for the pleas for executive clemency. "I do not find," said President Taft in disposing of the case, "Adams and [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie and a badge on his lapel].

Mr. Taft has told friends and party leaders from the first that if he should be called upon to stand for re-election he would be glad to do so; that he felt made him President and was willing to abide its decision. In the convention. He adheres to this rule according to announcement today, and will not quit the race until the nominating ballots are cast at Chicago. Sawyer fre from fault, and I do not think that their conviction, in so far as it has led to the present imprisonment, is an injustice; but I do think that the confession of Scott and the other circumstances are enough to relieve them from active complicity in the murders and to justify their now being freed." If only one-half of what has been published about Mme. Lina Cavalierla's personal charms, to say nothing of her charming voice, is true, there must be something radically wrong with her or with Robert Winthrop Chanler, her husband, from whom she has just secured a divorce, that would cause Chanler to say: "If Cavalierla comes in by the door, I will jump out by the window." He was on the top floor of a sky-scraper hotel when he made the threat. There are some other folks in the world who would try to jump up to the same window if they thought they could thus get near enough to the great opera singer to hand her a red apple. A judge in Oklahoma refused to order an investigation of the recent mob murder in that barbarous state and justified the lynching. What can be expected from such barbarians? The increasing popularity of President Taft is shown in the fact that 8,000 persons greeted him on New Year's day. Last year only 5,000 were on hand. President Daniel Howard, the new chief executive of Liberia, was inaugmented January 1. It was a gala affair, and Monrovia was full of life and color. Defective Page HAPPENINGS IN THE CITIES Find Petrified Daddy of All Lobsters ARE YOU FOND OF LOBSTER MISS HIGHKICK? CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—The progenitor of all the lobsters and the original oyster that existed eons before the first man who was brave enough to swallow one, have been added to the geological collection of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and they are only two of 2,000 specimens of petrified remains of prehistoric creatures gathered by Prof. Hervery Shimer and Mrs. Shimer during a six months' tour of Bohemia, France, England, Ireland, Wales and other countries. The lobster, a fine specimen, existed about 50,000,000 years ago, the geologists calculate. It was found in the mountains near Bohemia, and many miles from the sea. This is not to say that lobsters grew on trees in those remote days; the water, receding in the course of ages, left the lobster stranded and he got petrified. Similar but much more modern phenomena are not unknown here. Harvard and "Tech" students are sometimes left stranded PHILADELPHIA.—Through the recent death of Miss Jane R.

The chair in which Lafayette sat when he visited Germantown in 1824, and when he was given a reception at Wyck, is still to be found in the midst of the silent quaintness of the now untenanted old homestead. The nucleus for the old structure was first built in 1689, by one Dirck Jansen, whose daughter married one Caspar Wistar; through the marriage of Wistar's daughter to Reuben Haines in 1760, and by subsequent inheritance through direct kinship, these came into possession of the long, white, hospitable-seeming old structure, which took its name from an old English residence belonging to the family.

Annie J. Scott, a penniless orphan, was sent to a farm in Lafayette county, Mo., when she was 8 years old, as nursemaid and "help." The success of a neighbor's child incited her to study and save money, so that she might attend the Warrensburg Normal school. She milked cows, sold butter and saved $50. Then she went to Warrensburg and worked her way in three years through the normal school, graduating in 1894. Her first ambition was to become a missionary, but she became ill and was cared for at the German Hospital in Kansas City. There she determined to be a doctor, and in 1898 en --- Aged Newsie Leaves Hoard to Church ST. LOUIS—Lawrence Ring, for years a familiar character in the vicinity of Third and Chestnut streets, where he sold papers, died at the City Hospital of apoplexy. Recently his will was filed for, probate, and after that tales of fortunes deposited in various banks were heard. "Larry" lived the life of a recluse. His home was a single room in the antiquated structure at 6 North Third street. There he came of an evening, cooked his modest supper, smoked his pipe and pored for hours over the news of the world. He was believed to be about 75 years old. He was a veteran of the civil war and a pensioner. He was on the vessel which was blown up at Fort Fisher. Of this it was his greatest pride to tell. Often he declared that Admiral George Dewey, the hero of Manila, had been his captain. But he never told anyone he had a bank account. In his will he leaves to the pastor of the old cathedral on Walnut street $50 for masses for the repose of his soul and the rest to the church fund. He named the Mississippi Valley Trust Company executor. Just what the "rest" will amount to no one knows. However, his deposit at the trust company was but $100. He also had a safety deposit box in his name at that institution which has not after buying many lobsters of a night, but they do not get petrified, of course. Millions of years after this particular lobster passed away the sporty young men of the stone age cracked its descendants with their flint hatchets and treated the stony show girls of that period. Indeed, some geologists claim that the term "lobster" as applied to sporty young men who do that sort of thing has descended from the stone age; they have been doing so ever since. The petrified oyster is much more ancient than any ever found in a church stew. It also lived and breathed and had its troubles and joys 50.000,000 years ago. Prof. Shimer found it atop the Jura mountains in north Switzerland. How it got there only geologists can tell you; perhaps oysters carried abnstocks in those days In the collection are relatives of the nautilus family estimated to be 9,000,000 years old. They were found, too, in north Switzerland. Nowadays the nautilus exists only at the bottom of southern seas, so the family seems to have come down a bit in the course of time. But so have other families. The learned Shimers picked up the internal skeleton of an extinct crab; it is of about the same age as the nautilus' ancestors, 9,000,000 years. IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO TEAR IT DOWN original house was built, was nothing but a winding woodland path, and an Indian trail diverging from it passed where now stands the conservatory on the Walnut lane side of the house. So much did the early settlers respect this Indian right of way that it was temporarily arched over in the enlargement of the building, and so remained until long after Germantown avenue was opened. Apart from its historic significance, this fine old haphazerbick at of progressive building, between the dates of whose earlier and later portions runs the span of more than two centuries, is a favorite object for the artist's brush to capture for portrayal on canvas. Surrounded by a high piket fence, and facing on a primily romantic old garden, this veteran of aud lang syne stands lost in an atmosphere of bygone reveries, waiting the sound of strange voices which shall say whether or not it is to remain or go the way of so many of the long-forgotten mansions of old Germantown. tered the medical college of the University of Kansas, where on graduation she finished third in a class made up almost wholly of men students. It was the winter of the first smallpox epidemic in Kansas City. She was employed by the city and cared for 2,000 smallpox patients. When she left her position with the city in 1962 she had $2,000. With two partners she invested it in an 11-acre tract near Forty-third, street and the State line This tract was platted in city lots and marketed, and in a year she had her $2,000 back and $5,000 more. Then she put the $7,000 in an adjoining tract of 22 acres, with the same partners, and they cleared $55,000. In the succeeding five years she built and sold 200 houses and cleared more than $100,000. She draws her own plans, buys her own material and personally "bosses" each job she undertakes, overseeing every detail of the work. In 1908 this young woman of 33, who a few years before had been an ignorant country girl, without money, friends or relatives, paid the penalty of her success by breaking down in health. She was in a nervous collapse and had to cease working. She lost more than half her fortune before her health was restored. been opened as the key could not be found. Father Eugene Coyle, pastor of the old cathedral, said Ring had been a regular attendant at early mass Sundays as long as he could remember. An Italian grocer at Third and Chestnut streets said Ring was well to do and said the old man had told of a saving of $4,000. His room was modestly furnished and orderly, but there was nothing of value to be seen. Ring had been sick a week, and was taken to the City Hospital a few nights ago, friends having telephoned the dispensary that he was unconscious. It is said by some Ring had no relatives; others declare he visited some of his kin at Rochester, N. Y., three months ago, and had stated the trip cost him $150. Her Preference.

With the opening performance com- meneing Sunday matinee, January. 7, will have the best and most. charming of Gus Edwards’ musical productions, “School Days,” for a week. ‘The comm pany is touring under the direction of Stair and Haviin, and it is declared to be larger and “classier" than ever be- fore. The play of “School Days” has always been interesting, but the tune- ful incidental music and catchy melo- dies have made jit one of the most pop- ular pieces now before the public, Herman Timberg, the young and ver- satile star of this highly interesting musical comedy, again gives a remark- able portrayal of the unique Izzy Levi. He still plays the violin solos and sings, dances and acts in an admirable manner. He is surrounded by a larger and more capable company than ever, 53 players being secured for this en: aggement. The chorus is composed of retreshing maidens and youths who are not old enough to give a blase monotony to their work and yet are old enough to discern the possibilities of the characters, ‘ |The production has been handsome. ly mounted. newly costumed, and is in perfect condition. Miss Maud Camp- bell, in the role of “Nonnie,” has given ‘the part a pleasing and new person ‘ality. Other familiar members of the | cast are: Billy Newton, Grace Child: ers, Alma Hill, Sam Price, Joseph “Marks, Bobbie Wagner. AMERICA’S FOREMOST LADY COMPOSER. Very few lady composers have met with such great success as has Hen- rietta Blanke-Belcher, who for the past ten years has been one of the princi- pal writers for Jerome H. Remick & Co, She first made a reputation as a waltz writer, and some of her waltzes, especially the new “Polaire Waltzes,” are having a world-wide popularity. Gn the program of the coronation ball recently given in London these waltzes held the place of honor, being put on Just before the intermission, and com- ment Was made that it was the only number on the dancing program writ- ten by an American composer. She has lately written some very high- class songs, and the song, Love Dreams, is one of the popular songs of the day. Her latest and probably her best song, My Only One, is, however, destined to outrival it in popularity, since it will appeal to almost all music lovers, and not alone to those who only see merit in the modern classics. The lyric is worthy of the musical set: ting that Miss Belcher gave it, and ‘will appeal to those who seek merit in both the words and music of a song, We append the:refrain: The stars above may shine so bright, my only one! But you will be my guiding light, my only one! Your presence, dear, means more to me ‘Than all the dreams of life to be; Your kiss is blissful ecstacy, ‘My only one! My only one! | DR.

ST. PAUL Among Insects the Bride First Devours a Certain Number of Her Suitors. The marriage customs of insects are dreadful, and, contrary to what happens in every other world, here it is the female of the couple who stands for strength and intelligence, and also for cruelty and tyranny, which appear to be their inevitable consequence. Almost every wedding ends in the violent and immediate death of the husband. Often the bride first eats a certain number of suitors. The type of these fantastic unions could be supplied by the Languedocian scorpions, who, as we know, carry lobster claws and a long tail supplied with a sting, the prick of which is extremely dangerous. They have a prelude to the festival in the shape of a sentimental stroll, claw in claw; then, motionless, with fingers still gripped, they contem- place each other mischievily, interminally; and day and night pass over their ectasy, while they remain face to face perforified with admiration. Next, the faces come together and touch; the mouths — we can give the name of mouth to the innocent office that opens between the doors — are joined in a sort of kiss; after which the union is accomplished, the male is transfixed with a mortal sting and the terrible spouse crunches and gobbles him down with relish. But the Mantis, the cestial insect with the arms always raised in an attitude of supreme invocation, the horrible Mantis regilosa, or praying insect, does better still; she cates her husbands (for the insatiable creature sometimes consumes seven or eight running) while they press her passionately to their heart. Her inconceivable kisses devour, not metaphorically, but in an appallingly real fashion, the ill-fated choice of her soul or her stomach. She begins with the head, goes down to the thorax, and does not stop till she comes to the hind legs, which she deems too tough. She then pushes away the unfortunate remains, while a new lover, who was quietly awaiting the end of the monstrous banquet, heroically comes forward to undergo the same fate.—Maurice Maeterlinck in the Forum. SHOCK OF BIG GUN FIRING Deafness is a Sure Result and Nerves and Senses are Terribly Strained. One of the penalties attendant on firing off big guns is deafness. So sure is this penalty to be exacted that, it is asserted, no man can go through a long series of gunnery practice without having his hearing affected. A stranger on deck who hears a big gun speak for the first time will not soon forget the stunning report. One gun is enough to startle a stranger, but the shattering effect of the whole armament when in action together can hardly be conceived. The strain upon nerves and senses when the rending concussion takes place is terrible. There is not a great difference between the effect of the big guns and that of the smaller pieces, strange as it may seem. If the visitor places himself beside one of the smaller guns, and then listens to the roar of the big one, the sound will not appear much louder than that of the gun by his side. The extra distance to the muzzle of the big piece discounts the sound. The only apparent difference between the two will be that the smaller piece has a sharper, high-pitched tone, and that the big guns speak with a more bellowing roar. If one watches the firing of the gun the crash has not such a startling effect as when it comes unexpectedly. Loud as it is, nature has prepared the watcher to resist the shock which he knows is impending. No More Room. The elevator slipped rapidly by one floor after another, while many inmates of a large office building rang the bell and demanded to be carried to the street. It was the noon hour and every one at the elevator shaft was anxious to get luncheon. The elevator seemed to be only half filled. Actually there were three girls and a man in it who had got on at the fifteenth floor. "Filled up," shouted the operator, as he sped by the angry crowd at the door. Finally he reached a floor where one of the officers of the company had his office, and the man was there and wanted to go down. He shouted to him, "Filled up," and the man said something positive. Then the operator added: "Filled up with hats." Oxford, which Lord Curzon desires to "reform," has traveled very far from the condition of things observed by a German explorer toward the end of the eighteenth century. He had arrived at the city at midnight and was introduced by a Good Samaritan to the Mitre. Here, to his intense astonishment, he saw several gentlemen in academic dress seated round a table, each with a pot of beer in front of him. "My health," says the traveler, "was drunk in strong ale. At last, as morning drew near, one of the company exclaimed rather emphatically, 'I must prayers this morning at All Souls.'"—London Chronicle. Fishing Luck. "Did he have any luck on his fishing trip?" "Enough to keep him in conversation for several weeks." Since Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad, the show girls, were acquitted of shooting E. D. Stokes in the legs, we may look for some other notoriety hunting girls to try the trick. Look out, fellows. HERE IS THE GREAT CHANCE OF YOUR LIFE THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.
