Mr. Riley first knew her when she 'lived In Indianapolis and did much to encourage her In her literary work. In her circle of friends here, which included Miss Mary Dean and Mr. Riley's sifters. Mrs. Henry Eitel and Mrs. F. C. Payne, her peculiarly strong character was known and appreciated, and the removal of the family to Illinois did not Interrupt the friendships thus acquired. Mrs. Catherwood frequently visited here. When she determined to visit New York with the manuscript of "Romance of Dollard" she souRht from Mr. Itiley a letter of Introduction to the editors of the Century Magazine. Mr. Riley gave her a formal letter of introduction, but supplemented it with a private 1 tter commending rier work and whicl doubtless had much to do with her rapid .success in that direction. Her romance was accepted inrtantly and begun serial publication in the Century within a few months, receiving advancement unprecedented in the customs of the Century office. When Mr. Riley learned of Mrs. Catherwood's death" last night he was much moved. lie knew of her illness, but even In the knowledge of this the announcement was received as a shock. He Faid he was wholly unprepared. Her death, to his mind, was a distinct loss to the fraternity of letters. . The appreciation of her werk was late but well merited. She waw conspicuous for her industry, sincerity and conscience. Her conscience, he said, was ere of her particular endowments, and in Jhcr use of historical data wherever there appeared even seemingly Inconsequential vagueness or uncertainty she never rested vmtil she had verified every fact or disclosed every connecting fact, so strict was lief fidelity to her conscience. She even made visits to the scenes she was depicting and made' a mental survey of the ground to insure the accuracy of her descriptions, and some of these visits involved labor and expense of considerable magnitude. Mr. Riley said he had a high appreciation of her fine mental endowments. Her husband was a man of diserimlnatrng Judgment In affairs of letters, although himself net an exponent, and his advice was an aid to her throughput. MR. II. II. HOWLAND'S TRIBUTE. tie Talks ot Ills Association rltU Author of 4Liiarre The member of the firm of Bowen-vMerrIll Company who was most closely associated With" Mrs. Catherwood In publishing her work, "Lazarre," was Mr. Hewitt II. Howland. They became fast friends and Mr. iro'wland was very much shocked by the news ot her death. He said last night: "My feelings over my personal loss are so strong that I cannot give a carefully thought out appreciation of Mrs. Catherwood, but some day I hope to have the honor of writing that which now I feel most deeply. I heard from her daughter last week, telling me of her mother's condition, and I saw from her letter that the child didn't realize - the seriousness of her mother's Illness. And I felt sure that Mrs. Catherwood would never be well. Yet, In spite of this, the news of her death Is a great shock to me. "I have only known Mrs. Catherwood for about three years. I got to know her, however, very well in a very short time. Three summers ago she was spending her vacation at her favorite resort, the Irland of Mackinac. "Lazarre" was to FAIE AND CONTINUED COLD.

appear that fall, and I went to Mackinac to spend a week with Mrs. Catherwood. to talk about the book and learn something of her and her past history. Her husband and daughter were with her. The first days I was there they made me feel as if I were a membt-r of the family, ar.d from that time on my friendship with her has grown atid ripened. And now her death brings with it a feeling of a great personal io.-s. "I believe If I were asked to state what was Mrs. Catherwood's most striking characteristic I should say that it was a radiant Joy of life. I have neve" known any one who so reveled In mere existence as she did. She, loved everything that was good, and nearly everything in her world was good In her sight. "There was nothing nf the sentimentalist about Mrs. Catherwood. She had her emotions well in hand, yet she preserved the enthusiasm of youth. She would go Into raptures over a sunset and clap her hands in childish delight at the discovery of the

"Mrs. Catherwood was a mother by instinct. It was a benediction to go into her home. Her love went out to every one and everything that came under her roof. She was thoughtfulness and gentleness and self-sacrifice personified. Her life had not been an easy one. She had her full share of trials and disappointments; but she met all with a high courage and bore them with unending patience." Mr. Howland gave the following sketch of Mrs. Catherwood's work: "She began to write when a very young girl, and, like many successful authors, her first work was for the daily press. She came to Indianapolis, I think. Immediately after her marriage. This was in the days of George Harding on the old Saturday Herald, and it was to this paper that her first Indiana work was contributed. She climbed the ladder slowly, round by round, her name appearing here and there in newspapers and in the less conspicuous magazines. She moved, I think, from Indianapolis to Hoopeston. 111., where she lived until a few years ago, when she moved to Chicago to be with her daughter, who grad-. uated last year from one of the larger schools there. "Her short stories of Mackinac which appeared in Harper's Magazine, and which were afterward gathered together under the title of 'Mackinac and Lake Stories,' first brought her into general notice. "The first novel that really added to her reputation was 'The Romance of Dollard.' This appeared in a serial in one of the Eastern magazines, and was a beautiful story, beautifully written. This book was a distinct literary success, although it did not bring the author into popular notice, a3 popularity is known- in these days. "Mrs. Catherwood really belonged to the gTeat army of the unappreciated up to the time of the appearance of her last novel, 'Lazarre.' It is interesting to recollect now, that we, as a firm, we're first brought In contact with Mrs. Catherwood by the fact that we had a subject dealing with her favorite theme about Mackinac island and its romantic traditions. "We went to her and suggested this subject, but found her too much possessed with the romantic history of the lost Dauphin to consider anything else. She was at work on 'Lazarre when we first called on her and at that interview she told us what she hoped to do In that story and said If we were Interested she would be glad to submit the manuscript when it was . completed. Within six months the finished work was in our hands, and the very first reading assured its enthusiastic acceptance. "She was first attracted to the subject of 'Lazarre by an article that appeared a great many years ago in the old Putnam's Magazine entitled 'Had We a Dauphin? The author of this article convinced himself, and afterward Mrs. Catherwood, that the Rev, Eleazar Williams was the youngest son of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette; that he did not die in the Tower, -as history has said, but was spirited away and brought to America. The story, and the proof that the author made to substantiate his claims, laid strong hold on her imagination and she stored it away until the proper time came to use it for fictional purposes. "Mrs. Catherwood had written all her life and had always made something from her pen. but probably never more than enough for passing needs! She really had never laid any of her earnings by. But 'Lazarre' was a popular book and had a large sale and a large sale quickly. Her first 'royalty report' showed a considerable lump sum, and so pleased Mrs. Catherwood that she Immediately invested the same in farm lands near Hoopeston." In closing his recollections of Mrs. Catherwood, Mr. Howland spoke of what he considered one of her most remarkable pieces of work. It was a commission she accepted from the Century Company to visit France and make a particular study of the life and associations of Joan of Arc. The papers on the subject appeared in the Century contemporaneously with Mark Twain's series on the same subject in Harper's. On Mr. Howiand's last visit to Chicago, Mrs. Catherwood told him that in the subject of Joan of Arc she had 'dug up a bone,' as she put it, and was at work on a new novel, with the Maid of Orleans as the subject, when she died. She read the first three chapters of the new work to Mr. Howland when he was in Chicago. OTHER DEATHS. Well-Known People Who Hare Died In Various Portions of the Globe. NEW YORK, Dec. 26.

Marlon (Kan.) Record. Nature's gentlemen -till are found in Kansas despite the refinements of luxury that big crops have brought. On the Rock Island Railway recently near Marion two well-dressed, ardent lovers, evidently a newly married couple, amused the other passengers with their cooing. After a while the fair young bride leaned back in her chair and fell asleep. Her companion took advantage of the lull In affectional demonstrations and went into the smoker to enjoy a cigar. While he was gone a long, lean, lank grizzly specimen of humanity came in and sat down in the vacant chair beside the sleeping beauty. Presently the young woman, half asleep, turned and laid her head lovingly on the shoulder of thm

Just Say

And I Will Send You a Way to Get Well.

Just write a postal card and tell me which bock you need. That Is all. Then I will send you an order good at any drug store for six bottles Dr. Shoop's Restorative. You may take it a month at my risk to learn what it can do. If it succeeds, the cost Is $5.50. If it falls, I will pay the druggist myself. And your mere word shall decide it. That is my way of convincing you. Could you come to my office I would show you a vault filled with 65,000 letters from people whom I have cured. You would not need the month's test to convince you then. But you who can't come here you who don't know me are apt to doubt a stranger's claims. So I prove my faith in my treatment by lettingyou take the remedy, then you can decide whether you or I shall pay. I have labored a lifetime to perfect a remedy that would strengthen the inside nerves, and my Restorative does that. It brings back tha only power that makes the vital organs act. When an organ fails in its duty, the nerve power Is weak. There is usually no other cause. The organ is like an engine that needs mora steam; and no skill In the world can remedy the trouble till the organ has power to act. My Restorative brings back that power, and that is the secret of my success. When that is done, the weak organ Is well, unless a cause like cancer makes a cure impossible. In the past 12 years I have furnished my Restorative on trial to over half a million sick ones. Nearly all of the cases were difficult many were desperate. Other treatments had failed In most of them Yet 3? out of each 40 have paid for the treatment gladly, because they were cured. There are 39 chances In 40 that I can cure you, and you shall not lose a penny If I fall. , . Rook No. 1 on Dyspepsia, Simply state which book Is on the Heart. V , .

stranger and put her plump arm around his neck. The green, gawky stranger seemed a trifle surprised at this unexpected familiarity, but made no desperate (effort to escape. He merely looked around at the convulse! passengers and grinned. Then the hilarity awoke the young woman, and, opening her large blue eyes, she saw her mistake. With flushed cheek she stammered an apology. "You needn't 'pologlze to me," Crawled the stranger. "1 don't keer." CAMPING IN WINTER. A Phase of Outdoor Life That Remains for the Enthusiast. Country Life In America. . He who camps during the summer months finds comfort In abundance and drawbacks scarcely noticeable. The bright, cool days of the autumnal months also bring chiefly things to enjoy, and only when the cold rains come down does the dweller in the woods begin to realize the disagreeable features of the life. But of all seasons for camping, perhaps none offers the peculiar fascination of those months when the land is clothed in its unspotted winter dress. Then the air is clean and clear, the woods are even more than usually silent, and the trees and shrubs are transformed into gleaming white statues. On a bright day all things glisten, and the myriads of sparkling crystals seem to dance and laugh in the crisp, cold sunlight which Illumines but does not warm; under a dull sky the cold gray monotony is almost unbroken by shadows. In the woods the treetop bends with its load of snow; tired of the weight, it drops the white mass and a faint mumea crash Is heard. Should the cold be very Intense, the sharp sound of a frost-cracked tree awakes the forest echoes, then again all Is silent, absolutely silent. To give up the warmth and other comforts of a home and take oneself off to the cold Northern woods may not sound alluring to those who have not tried it. The uninitiated is apt to ask derisively where the pleasure comes In. It Is difficult to answer such a question with mere words. To describe the delights and exhlliaration of tramping through the snowbound woods is not easy. Almost ghostly is the scarcely audible swish, swish of the snowshoes as they pass over the firm, dry snow. The keen air is so bracing that you feel equal to almost any task. You wonder where is the awful cold you have heard about; surely the temperature Is scarcely below freezing point, and you remove your heavy woollen jacket. Then your knitted gloves feel overwarm and they, too, must come off. Walt Just a minute and see what the thermometer has to show: Twenty degrees below zero! Why, surely it must be wrong; but no, your fingers have frozen to the metal case beads of perspiration change to ice as they fall from your brow. Perhaps, after all. the mercury is right, for, now you have stopped exercising, the cold Is intense. When the air is so dry one Is apt not to appreciate the cold until feet and hands actually begin to freeze. Men accustoirfed to the cold can sleep on a few boughs laid on the snow, before a large fire, with no blanket over them. But it Is scarcely advisable for any one accustomed to steam-heated rooms to attempt this. A good sleeping bag made of four thicknesses of light-weight, pure wool blanket, with an inner bag of natural wool batting encased in light flannel. Is all that is needed about eighteen pounds of bedding in all. In selecting an axe, which, needless to say, is an important item, choose one that is light, and has a long handle, and be sure that it Is tempered to suit the cold weather. An axe tempered for Southern countries will fly to pieces when used in a very cold climate. EDUCATION OF A BOER CHILD. A Small Hut of Grass Often the Boer Schoolhouse. From the Memoirs of Paul Kruger. The Boer fathers and mothers looked after the education of their children to the very best of their ability. They knew that they lived in a country where anything that was once neglected was difficult to recover, and that to neglect the rising generation meant the ruin of their nationality. Therefore, every Boer taught his children to read and write, and, above all. Instructed them In God's word. At dinner and supper, as the children sat round the table, they had to read part of the sacred Scriptures, and to repeat from memory or write down now this and now that text, and this was done day by day unless unusual circumstances made it Impossible. That is how my father taught me the Bible and instructed me in Its teaching during the evenings. My other course of Instruction was covered altogether by a period of about three months, with frequent Interruptions. My master's name was Tlelman Roos, who tound much difficulty in carrying out his mission. Whenever the trek came to a resting place and we outspanned a small hut was built of grass and reeds, and this became the schoolroom . for the trekkers' children. How They Scatter. Philadelphia Telegraph. "The world Is not so very large, after all," said the business man. as he leaned back in his chair and gazed thoughtfully at the man who had Just "dropped in" for a chat, "but that people get all over it." "Yes. that's true." assented the other fellow, as he took one out of the box and struck a match. "You wouldn't believe the old friends I met In out-of-the-way places last year, while I was away. In my class at school In a little New England town there were. I suppose, twenty-five boys and girls. Some of them are there yet, but there has been a great scattering of the rest. "In Nome I met one of the boys, who has made and lost two fortunes, and is now hustling for a third. At Kobe. Japan. 1 ran into another of the boys, who Is In the employ of the Standard Oil Company, and in Canton I found another little This 'the

In Hongkong I called on a Chinese merchant who was one of the same class, he having been sent in his youth to America to get an English education, and we had a pleasant visit, for he had not lost his Interest in the boys and girls of the New England town, where he learned to skate and play baseball. "But it was In Melbourne that I struck an old schoolmate under conditions that surprised me. An evening at the theater was proposed, the play was a thrilling melodrama of the English school, and upon glancing over the programme I noticed that the name of the star was the same as that of a girl who had gone to school with me. "When she came out on the stage I recognized her at once. Her father had been the deacon of the church, and in her girlhood she was a most demure little miss, one who never saw the Inside of a playhouse. But there she was. one of the most popular of all the actresses appearing on the Australian stage. How did she get there? I don't know; she didn't enlighten me, and I didn't ask. "In Manila I saw two more of the boys, one carrying a gun for Uncle Sam; the other running a big saloon. "After I got back I ran down to Atlantic City and went to the cafe of a biff hotel, and there was another one of my old classmates dispensing liquid refreshments." "Quite a versatile lot," remarked the business man. and then there was a moment of silence, after which the fellow who had Just dropped in stopped talking about his old schoolmates and told hla latest poker story. NO FEAR OP THE COW. Investigation Uphold Koch's Theory of Consumption. Baltimore American. The Tasteur Institute In France, after extended experiments, has announced Its Inability to overthrow the theory of Professor Koch regarding the immunity of human beings from bovine tuberculosis. A French physician ofTered hlm&elf as a martyr to science, and was inoculated at regular Intervals with the germs of cow consumption. The only effect during a period covering a number of months was the appearance of a pimple where the insertion was made, which was pronounced tuberculosis. This assumption does not seem to be Justified because any foreign substance Interjected Into the tissues, especially a poisonous one, would be likely to create Irritation even greater than that described. The professors of the institute admit that there was substantially no result, while the same germs Interjected Into rabbits took effect promptly and killed the rabbits. It is well that Dr. Koch's theory should be thoroughly tested. There are few matters of more importance to humanity than this question of the transfer of cow consumption to the human race. It Involves tne possibility of Incurring disease from many sources. If it can be communicated those' who consume beef, milk or butter and many of the forms through which these articles pass are liable to bovine tuberculosis. It does not appear, however, why Koch's theory should have been so viciously attacked by many members uf the profession, and particularly by those who had no actual information on which to base such attacks. Professor Koch confined his experiments to determining that human consumption could not be communicated to cattle, and inferred from the fact that diseases of the latter cannot usually be communicated to man by means of germs that bovine tuberculosis was noncommunlcable. Those who opposed his theory have, by their experiments, demonstrated Its acccuracy. In endeavoring to overthrow it they have established it. No exception can be taken to this. It was proper that a theory should be tested If there were any men quixotic enough to risk their lives for the purpose. There always appear to be such, not the martyrs who hlppodromed in New York some months ago. but genuine devotees of science, like those who offered themselves at the Pasteur Institute. The world will be almost as thankful to them for what they failed to prove as to Dr. Koch for what he has demonstrated. Men can eat their beef and infants can now drink their milk without fear of cow consumption. Emperor William Lores Music. Leslie's Weekly. Emperor William, of Germany, is a man of opinions, as the world has long since learned. It has learned also that his opinions generally are founded on sound sense, refined taste, and good Judgment. Thid holds true as to the views recently expressed by the Emperor on the nature and Influence of music, the occasion being the inauguration of a new school of graphic arts and music In Berlin. "You know." said the Emperor, "what a great educational Influence I ascribe to music and its cultivation. It Is. above all. to be considered in its Influence on the temperament and on the entire soul-llfe. Music enlightens, elevates, and forms the soul." A Sla-nlflrar.t Fact. Philadelphia Record. One strong evidence of good sense and cool Judgment Is to be found in the fact that the Venezuelan affair, with all the labored efforts to magnify It into a cause of war, has not had the least influence on the money market at home or abroad. Sensible men of finance could not be persuaded by Journalistic hysterics that the Emperor William, of Germany, so much coveted Venezuelan territory, with Its "greaser" Inhabitants, as to excite a general war under pretense of enforcing the payment of debts to his subjects. The sensation was too shallow and fiat for sober consideration, and the business of the world has kept on in Its wonted ways. signature li on erery box of the rtnuine
