CLArtA DOTY BATES.

She lof«d Children. Thou*h Childless soli and Wrote Much For Them. The papers have announced the death of Clara Doty Bates of Chicago, the writer for children, and hundreds of thousands have idly read the paragraph, not realizing how much that death has meant to those who knew her well. She was a Michigan woman of a fine family and married to a Michigan man, Morgan Bates, a newspaper man and a writer of plays. For many years she had lived in Chicago and had written for Wide Awake, St Nicholas, Harper's Young People, The Youth's Companion and other periodicals for children. During the World's fair she had charge of that part of the authors' congress which was devoted to writers for children and also of the library of children's literature. She was not yet 50 years of age and was mentally never more virile than during the last year of her life, although her physical lassitude was such that she oould not set herself to the task of writing.

These facts seem common enough. But the woman herself was most uncommon. Her face had a rugged calmness and homeliness that resembled that of Abraham Lincoln in its general character. Her heart was serenely true, her inclination for the purest things of earth —children, flowers, birds and all the happy little animals of the summer time. She loved to write poems concerning the beetles, the "red hipped humblebees," the crickets. Such gay little songs "sang themselves," as she used to say, and her pleasure in writing them iay in fancying how the children would enjoy them. She never wrote at the children she wrote from them. She could be one of them, and she looked at the world from their point of view when she wrote fear them. In fact, in spite of her very well stored mind and her experience, she was singularly like a child in her simplicity and candor. True, she had the tact of a woman of fine social training, but it was the tact that came from kindness and not from convention. For children she entertained a love which was profound. She turned upon them such a loving scrutiny that she saw in them possibilities and charms which even those who knew them best had failed to discover. Nothing amused her more than the unconsciouswitticism of a little ohild, and she remembered these much better than did the mothers of the children and would repeat them with affectionate zest.

Her whole life was one of exquisite refinement. No one could talk with her without being conscious of a delicate elevation of eentinient. One involuntarily selected the most beautiful subjects with which one was acquainted in talking to her. Her life was full of the happiness that comes to a woman who is perfectly mated, and who gives her husband unfaltering love, receiving, in return, the utmost consideration, appreciation and devotion. But for all of that she was in some ways a sad woman—that is to say, she was sad because her sensibilities were so keen. The war of the world roared in on her and disturbed her peace. The sorrows of others rested on her spirit. Her hunger for a child of her own was never appeased. And having a delight in nature, a love for home—home meaning to her the elms and birds as well as the walls and furnishings—she was destined to live in the dirtiest and most material city on this continent, in apartments, surrounded by nomads of the sort which give the boarding house an excuse for being.

Yet, however hurried the street on which her window looked, however bustling the fashionable apartment house in which she lived, in her rooms there were always quiet, peace and an air of indescribable plaoidity. Ferns bloomed in her windows, pictures of little children hung on her walls, fresh flowers, the gifts of friends, were at hand, and, by her side, as she sewed, was a block of paper, on which the "songs sang themselves."

Though woman of the simplest tastes, she dressed richly, for she had an idea that, being so tall and gaunt, she looked well only in rich fabrics. As she was swarthy she usually chose rich wine tints, and the colors came to be characteristic of her. Nothing could be more charming than when walking among the selfish and nervous crowd of the Chicago streets to come across this strong and serene faco, with the deep ©yes beaming with spirituality and kindliness. Never a street so crowded that she could not see the children and sraik) upon them never a day so dismal that she would not pause before the florist's window never a time so dull that her spirit could no sing.

It is impossible to make those who did not know her understand how itroug and simple, how lofty and sincore, she was. Hans Christian Andereon must have been similar.—Elia W. Peattie in Omaha World-Herald.

Mrs. Elizabeth D. Bacon has been elected to the high school committee of Hartford. She was nominated by the Democrats, and ran ahead of her ticket, many Republicans also voting for her.

Tnere are few more beautiful women or popular singers than Miss Theresa Vaughn, whose refined and exquisite singing in the burlesque, "1492," will long be remembered In every community. Her address is New York City, but she is known, respected and admired from one end of our country to the other, and her strong endorsement of the wonderful ourative powers of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and her earnest advice for the tiredout, the weak, the nervous, the rundown and debilitated, to use the grandest of all medicines, will be followed by everybody who needs a strengthening and invigorating remedy.

She tells all to use it, because she knows it banishes all pain, cures the aohing head and dragging back ache, restores the over-taxed brain, nerves the weary limbs, strengthening the weak and shattered nerves, gives natural, re freshing sleep—in faot, makes all who use it strong and well. The remedy is purely vegetable and perfeotly harm lets and may be given to infants, children or the weak invalids with positive assur ance of beneficial results.

Here is what she says: "The fatigue attendant upon public appearanoes has often caused me to suffer

JOSEPHINE WAS MERCIFUL.

She Tried to Prevent the Execution of the Duo d'Engblen.

Mme. Bonaparte learned with Intense sorrow of the determination taken by her husband. In the main his measures and his convictions had been kept a se cret, but she confided both to Mme. De Remusat, and the first consul himself had told them to Joseph. On the 20th the decreo for the duke's imprisonment and trinl was dictated by the first consul from tiie Tuileries, and in the early afternoon he returned to Malmaison, where at 3 o'clock Josoph found him strolling in tho park, conversing with Talleyrand, who limped along at his side. "I'm afraid of that cripple," was Josephine's greeting to her brother-in-law. "Interrupt this long talk if you can."

Tho mediation of the elder brother was kindly and skillful, and for a time the first consul seemed softened by the memories of his own and his brother's boyhood, among which came and went the figure of the Prinoe of Conde. But other feelings prevailed. The brothers had differed About Lncien's marriage and the question of descent if the consular power should become hereditary. The old coolness finally settled down Mid chilled the last hopes in the tender hearted advocates for clemency. To Josephine's tearful entreaties far mercy her husband replied: "Goaway. You're a child. You don't understand publio duties." By 5 it was known that the duke had arrived at Vincennes, and at once Savary was dispatched to the city for orders from Murat, the military commandant On his arrival at Murat's office, from which Talleyrand was in the very act of departing, he was informed that the court martial was already convened, mid that it would he his duty to guard the prisoner and execute whatever sentence was passed.— "Life of Napoleon," by Profeesor William M. Sloane, in Century.

It would oertainly seem that after such an endorsement by a lady so popular and so widely known, no one who suffers in the least from ill health could hesitate for a moment to take her advice and seek the oure which is sure and positive by using Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.

BICYCLING WITHOUT LEGS.

This Lad Pedals With Stumps and Can Tarn Off a Mile Under Five Minutes.

Ever sinoe wheeling became a craze the human race, big and little, high and low, powerful and weak,has thought it no dishonor to be found in scanty attire, pushing pedals. There seems to be no limit to the fad, and the result has been no end of freaks and freaking. Now, however, the greatest of all freaks makes its appearance. It is a bicycle whose rider has no legs and only one arm.

The rider is Arthur Boadhouse, a boy resident of DeKalb, Ills. He is 18 years old, bright and as active as his physical

imperfections, which came from birth, will allow. Like most cripples, his mind is preoooious. The bicycling craze left him in body more hopeless and helpless than ever. A neighboring bioycle manufacturer agreed to make a wheel which the boy could ride, and he did so. His one hand guides the handlebar and bars of steel lead up from the pedals to the short stumps which he has known as legs. Strange to say, he experienced little trouble in balanoing the machine.

He began riding about six weeks ago, and after three or four hours' instruction and practice he made a half mile on a track in less than three minutes. He can now do a mile in less than five minutes, and expects to reduce this time to four minutes. He has already made a half mile in 2 minutes 10 seoords. He has learned to dismount, and can handle his wheel readily without assistance. He has to be assisted, though, when he mounts, but he expects soon to be able to do this alone.—New York World.

His Aggravating Nickname. Ifiv

The disadvantage of having a niokname applied in early youth was never better illustrated than by the experience of the boy who was known in the White House six or seven years ago as Baby MoKee. He is now a resident of New York city and is a stout youngster of nearly 12, with a great fondness for baseball and other athletio sports. His life would be as pleasant as that of any other boy of that age were it not for the infantile nickname which clings to him like an incubus. On all oooasions his playmatJr use it, and even his elders sometimes hail him with the hated appellation.

But by far the most galling part of the business is that the people all over the country ignore the flight of time and keep sending him gifts only fitted for the nursery. Dolls, rattles, rubber rings and high chairs are among the things that cause positive torture to the grandson of the ex-president, and it is hinted that he handles them any way but gently in his wrath. It is not impossible that the name will cling to him until manhood, and all because newspaper writers chose to saddle him with a nickname. Exchange.

A Generous Little Prinoe.

The Independence Beige tells a pleasant story of the orown prinoe of Germany, who, with his brother, was recently with their tutor at the hotel of the Chutes du Bhin. When the tutor paid the bill, he offered a money present to the chambermaid, who, however, refused the gift, pointing to a notice that tips were forbidden.

The tutor explained the situation to his eldest pupil, who thereupon went out with his brother and bought a very pretty brooch. This he gave to the maid, saying that "as it was not money she oould not refuse it." As tbe young princes were staying at tbe hotel inoog nito the maid did not know that the donor of the brooch will probably be emperor of Germany some day.

Little King Alfonso.

The little King Alfonso XIII of Spain is jealous of his rights. One of his youthful friends said to him recently: "Good 1 I am going to England." "How is that?" asked Alfonsa "My papa has beemjnade embassador in London by Canovas de Castillo," was the answer.

Then said the miniature ruler, mindful of his place, "It is unheard of that I was not consulted about this!"

Why She Was Disappointed.

A little girl who had mastered her catechism confessed herself disappointed, "beoause," she said, "(bough I obey the fifth commandment, and honor my papa and mamma, yet my days are not bit longer in the land, because I am put to bed at 7 o'clock. "—Our Dumb Animate.

[srsciAi. to ova ladt bkassbs.]

It is a very sad fact that the more a woman trusts to the skill of her physician in treating her female complaints, the longer she is apt to suffer.

Lydia E. Pinkham fully realized this fact when she commenced that exhaustive study that has enabled the women of the world to help themselves. She discovered the source of female complaints, and produced the Vegetable Compound, which is their absolute cure.

When such testimony as the following is given, the woman who thinks should act quickly, and no longer permit herself to trust to incompetent doctors. The Vegetable Compound is sold by all druggists. and every woman should have it
