MADAME SPECTATOR'S OBSERVATIONS By Catherine Allman

Some one was seated at the piano i running over old Irish ballads and; melodies and presently we were ' all humming Moore's song, "O, Believe Me It All Those Endearing Young Charm& "

pretty story about how Moore came to write those verses," volunteered one of the audience, who was a great admirer of the Irish bard. "Tom Moore was the best type of an Irish gentleman, quick of wit, warm of heart and the beau ideal of gallantry. All these qualities made him a great social favorite with both sexes, but although he numbered among his friends such companions as Lord Byron, and although he lived in a world which loved to flirt its scarlet Bins, Tom Moore was a man of exceptionally clean morals for that bedraggled period. He was in love with his wife, Mary, who inspired many of his tenderest lyrics, and his fidelity to her was only one of the mainy traits of this lovable man. "On one occasion business had takes him from his family for several months during which period his had been very 111. She had recovered In

his absence, but Moor hastened back as soon as he could be spared from his mission. But when he arrived Mary

was not there with the greeting he so

ardently expected and hurt by her absence he was silent for a moment, and

than he asked:

"But Mary, where is she? I had

thought she would be the first to wel

corns me." "fiadly a member of the family motioned to an adjoining room, darkened and quiet. Moore groped his way In and there In the shadow found Mary waiting, sobbing. Moore gently took her in his arms and presently led her to the light to gase once more on her beloved features "Alas, in the daylight glare the rea

these words that have been sung so

many times:'

'O, believe me If all those endearing young charms

Like fairy gifts fading away

Thou shouldst still be beloved, as this moment thou art. -

Let thy loveliness fade as it will, And around the dear ruins each wish

Mrs. Smith dwells in the fashionable suburbs of the city, and has undergone all the different phases of the servant question in its most horrid forms. Many were hired, but few remained. Recently a sitter came to visit. The children bad never seen an aunt before and scarcely grasped the Idea of relationship. One day the odest boy led her quietly aside "Say," he demanded suspiciously, "are you another cook, or Just a lady?"

If it were not for woman, gentle woman, the majority of doctors would starve to death. Physicians prosper and specialists fatten on the ills real and imaginary of the weaker sex. Not long ago a specialist who claims to be able to make the fat thin and the thin pretty, had occasion to treat a rich feminine patient for excessive avordupois. He prescribed the usuual thing exercise, Turkish bath and diet. A few weeks later the lady descended on him in tears, having put on extra flesh "But, Madame, did you walk ten miles daily?" "Yes, Indeed, doctor. ; More than more than that." "Did you take the physical culture exercises prescribed every night and morning? "Faithfully." "What about the baths?" "I have done everything you said, doctor, and I have gained ten pounds." "And your diet Have you followed the menu I suggested?" "Yes." "Have you eaten anything else?" "Why nothing but my regular meals, doctor."

ENOCH ARDEN : PROTOTYPE James O'Brien Returns Home After Fifteen Years.

Wlnsted, Conn., Oct. S. James O'Brien has returned to Manchester after an absence of fifteen years and learned that his wife had remarried a man named Smith, she having supposed that O'Brien was dead. Mrs. Smith fainted when she saw her first husband, who, after learning the facts left town. When O'Brien married in Manchester he had a wife living1 in Rockville, it is said. Subsequently he disappeared, leaving the second Mrs. O'Brien with two children, the youngest a week old. Mrs. O'Brien waited fourteen years to hear from her husband and then concluded that he was dead.

Seattle, Oct. 3. For the first time In history the proof of the fact that Siberia and Alaska were once joined along the Aleutian chain will be on exhibit at the big Alaskan-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at Seattle next year. This fact, although surmised for a long time has only been scientifically established

in the past two or three years. It was in 1906 that E. M. Kindle and J. M. Barnett, of the United States geological survey, visited the valley of the Yukon. In the course of their search they discovered several specimens of fossil Invertebrates which do not exist In any other portion of the continent of America, but which do exist in Siberia. This does point conclusively to a former Junction of the two continents. According to the recently issued report of these scientists, it was not known before that these fossils which they discovered, existed on any portion of the continent of America. A number of the best of these relics of former times, which are to be exhibited at the 1909 exposition in Seattle were dug from the mud at the bottom of a river bed by the two scientists with the greatest difficulty and labor.
