From an Unknown Journal.
During Lillian Lewis' recent short
tour throngh the Sonth she played
in one of the cities in "Credit Lorraine." and the play, star, and company made aa immense hit. The local manager was wild with enthusiasm, and, as the company was to lay
off the next night, induced Miss
Lewis to stay and play the second
night in his city.
"What will you give me to play?"
"The first $250 that comes in."
"Well, do you think it will come
in?" asked the olever actress, who is
also very much fin do siecle in business matters.
"Without a doubt," replied the
local art censor.
"Very good, then, Ixwill stay and
risk it. Two hundred and fifty dollars will coyer my expenses, if I stay."
Bright and early the looal manager hustled out a dodger, telling his
people that Lillian Lewis, adorned
with a $20,000 diamond necklace,
would appear in "As a Looking
Glass," and stated further that only
Lewis and Langtry had ever played
the part of the dear, delightful,
naughty Lena. Night came, and a
$40 house (all men) came with it.
The manager was in desnair, dressed
immaculately in an evening dress, a
huge boutonniere in his lapel. He
rapped on the door of the eooentrio
star's dressing room.
"Oome in."
Perspiringly mopping his face, he
bowed to the smiling actress to kill.
"Good gracious! You look awfully hot. Anything wrong, ehP"
"The house," gasped the manager.
"Ah, turning them away? So glad.
"No, $40."
AHeavens!"
"I've done everything in my power,
see," pulling out of his pooket a
specimen of the dodger. "Got 5,000
of them out early, and put them in
every house, office and store in the
city. I looked after the work myself,"
The lady slowly pulled off her
gloves. "So the play, the beautiful
Langtry, the great Lillian Lewis,
and the $20,000 worth of diamonds
oouid only draw a $40 house." Then
her eyes fell on the dodger. "Good
gracious, man, look at that!"
"Where? What?"
"Why, don't you see,' howled the
tragedienne, "that you've advertised
me as appearing as 'Lena Despard,'
wearing only a $20,000 diamond
necklace and nothing else. Oh 1 Ohl"
You could have played marbles on
the looal manager's coat tail as he
flew round the box office. The
noisy 940 bouse was as quietly dismissed as a congregation after benediction, ana the very mad and hysterical star was driven to her. hotel
in a carriage and put to bed.
How   to   Treat   a   Wife.
(From Pacific Health Journal.)
First, get a wife; second, be patient.
You may bave great trials and perplexities in your business, but do not there-
tore, carry to your home a cloudy or
contracted brow. Your wife may have
trials, which, though of less magnitude,
may be hard for her to bear. A kind
word, a tender look, will do wonders in
chasing trom her brow, all clouds ot
gloom.—To this we would add always
keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy In the house. It is the best
and is sure to be needed sooner or later.
Your wife will tben know that you really care for her and wish to protect her
health.    For sale by J. G. Gillam.

THE WIFE OF CHASKA.
Deserted by Her Worthless Indian
Husband, She Is Now Destitute.
From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
A letter reoently reoeived by Dr.
Cannon of Huron, S. D., from his
mother, Mrs. F. W. Cannon of
Oartliage, Mo., gives an interesting
account of the present, life of Mrs.
Samuel Campbell, once known all
over the oountry as Cora Belle Fellows, the wife of Chaska, the famous
Sioux Indian whom she married
while a teaoher on the reservation
near Pierre, S. D. Miss Fellows
was a former leader in sooiety in
Washington, D. 0., where her family lived, was highly educated and
connected, and her marriage oreated
the sensation of the day. Her family at lirsfc refused to believe the
young lady capable of such folly, and
threatened criminal proceedings
against the correspondent who first
sent out the story of the affair. Her
father even made a trip to Pierre to'
look up evidence. in the case. He
arrived too late to prevent the marriage, however, and prudently dropped the proposed litigation. ■ Chaska
was said by all who knew him to be
a notoriously worthless redskin, but
his marriage to Miss Fellows proved
to be the making of him financially
for a time at least. The couple exhibited for a time at dime museums
all over the country, and accumulated a considerable fortune. On their
last visit to South Dakota they wore
fine clothes, handsome jewelry, and
lived on the best of everything* All
these, together with the money, have
now disappeared, and, deserted by
her Indian husband, who left her
for a sweetheart of his own raoe, the
former belle of Washington society
now lives near Carthage, Mo., quite
destitute, and with four -children dependent upon her for support. In
her letter Mrs. Cannon says.
"A few days sinoe my attention
was called to a widow in destitute
circumstances. I filled a basket
with bread, meat, coffee, sugar, cookies, &c.j father took a small sack of
apples, and we went to see her. She
was, indeed, destitute, not only of
food but of clothing and furniture.
The woman was careworn and sickly looking. I soon discovered that
she was educated and refined, having
evidently seen better days. During
our conversation three ohildren came
running into the room—two boys
and one girl. The oldest, a boy,
was abont 7, and showed very plainly the Indian blood iu his veins. In
the girl and younger boy the Indian
was less marked, but still quite noticeable. Then the mother told me
that she was once a teacher at the
Rosebud and Santee agencies, that
she was formerly a resident of Washington, and had married against
the wishes of her people. I afterward learned that her husband deserted her to marry a squaw. She
has now no knowledge of his whereabouts. She is not strong enough to
work, but tries to do washing or
other labor to support her children.
She is capable of teaohing, but can
get no employment in that line.
The aid sooiety of the Methodist
ohuroh bas done much for her. aud is
now raking money to send her to Nebraska, where she has friends who will
look after her. She is only anxious
tbat the publio should forget her
and her marriage with ■ Chaska, the.
Sioux.

A Famous Physician's Testimony.
"I call perfeot health the loveliest
thing in this world, and alcohol even
in small doses will take the bloom
off, will injure the perfection of
loveliness of health both mental and
moral: I go still further and say,
alcohol is not only no helper of work
and every man that comes to the
front of a profession in London is
marked by this characteristic, that
the more busy he gets the less in
the shape of alcohol he takes, and
his excuse is, "I am very sorry, but
I cannot take it and do my work."
"I am the general physician in the
largest hospital in London; I do not
desire to make it a strong case, I desire to make it a true case, and I
tell yon I am considerably within
the mark when I say that going the
round (of my hospital wards to-day,
seven out of every ten persons the'ie
owed their iH health to alcohol. I
do not say this seventy per cent,
were drunkards, I do not say that
one of them was what you oall a
drunkard, but day by day, just as
the grass grows and you cannot see
it, day by day, this little excess,
often a little one, is doing its work;
it upsets the stomaoh, the stomach
upsets the other organs, and bit by
bit, under tbis fair and genial and
jovial outside, the constitution is being sapped. This is the truth concerning more than three-fourths of
the disorders of what we call fashionable life. There is another side to
this question tbat I call its awful
side, it is that the use of alcohol becomes a part of the man's very nature, and he hands it down to his
ohildren as part and paroel of their
very being. What are we to think
Of those who are born drunkards?
How oan any man think without
dread of this terrible fact, for faot it
is surely as tbat two and two make
four, that this desire is beooming
part of his nature, and that he is
handing it down to generations yet
unborn."—Ex.
How  a  Proud   Hen   Combated   a
Theory.
From the Wabash Times.
He was being interviewed on the
poultry business, when he said;
"I don't want to boast, but I do
think we have got the knowingest
hens in the world in our end of town.
I have a flock of 200, all blaok. It is
a theory of mine that black hens lay
better than those of any other color.
One day I found a hen in my flock
with a few white feathers in her tail.
I oalled the hired man and told him
to catch and kill her. 'You can't rely on the laying capabilities of a hen
with white feathers/1 said.
"The hen gave me a sorrowful
look, but did not say a word. Next
morning the hired man told me he
could not find her. A month or two
later I opened a pile of potatoes I
had stored in the cellar and found a
big, hollow space in the centre of
them. There was a bunoh of black
feathers iu the place with three white'
ones standing up in a defiant sort of
a way. Behind tbe feathers were sixty-six eggs. I recognized at once
that it was tbe work of the missing
hen. The sensitive creature had
stowed herself away und worn herself
out laying eggs to prove that the
theory was a mistaken one."
—For every quarter in a man's pocket there are a dozen uses; and to use
each oiie In such a way as to derive tbe
greatest benefit is a question every one
must solve for himself. We believe,
however,*that no better use could be
made of one ot these quarters tban to
exchange it for a bottle of Chamberlain's

a medicine that every family should be

FLOORED BY THE "DO!
A Chicago Girl Undone
nithologicalEfforts ofa 01
Singer.
From tbe Chicago News.
Last evening, at one of tbe
Presbyterian ohurohes on the soutH
side, a specially attractive service
was held. It had been widely advertised, and every seat was filled.
In one one of the forward pews sat
a young person who eagerly awaited
for the proceedings to commence.
The opening number on the programme was a voluntary beginning.*
"A day in Thy courts is better than
a thousand, I had tatber be a doorkeeper in the house of my Ood than
to dwell in the tents of wickedness.''
But the young person hadn't a programme and she didn't know.
A woman's beautiful voice rang
out olear and strong and the young
person taxed her ears to catch the
words. At first they eluded her ex-
asperatingly, but by patience and
close attention she finally grasped
the situation. The singer considered a day in the courts of the Lord
to a thousand spent elsewhere. So
far so good. But the next sentence
staggered the young person. The
singer trilled forth that she had rather be a "dorkie bird'' in the house of
her God than to occupy an elevated
position in a less righteous place.
The young person pondered. Sinoe
her early infancy she has been fed on
verses and chapters from the Bible,
but somehow she couldn't seem to
remember any reference to a "dorkie
bird," She must be mistaken in the J
word, she thought, and settled herself to listen to the tenor, who was
now warbling the sweet melody.
Surely he wonld sing the words
plainly. But no, the rendition waa
as before—"dorkie bird." The contralto and bass made no change in
ths version, but sang it as the soprano and tenor had done.
The young person's mind was perturbed. She oouid not fix hep
thoughts on the prayer whioh followed, but bowed her head and meditated on the various Biblical combinations. No, she could not recall
the least reference to a "dorkie bird,"
but if tbe ohoir sang about It surely,'
there must be such a thing. She-
wondered if it were anything like an
English sparrow. Evidently-it was
a h amble member of the feathery
tribe, for it was used in an unimportant connection.
During a subsequent vooal number she leaned toward her escort*
"What is a "dorkie bird?" she wig* j
pered softly.
" A what ?" he inquired.
"A dorkie bird."
He turned on her a pair of interested eyes.   "A  what?"  he asked•
again.
"Oh, never mind," she whispered
nervously.
''It's nothing, They are going to
pray."
To the exclusion of all else that
idea of the unusual bird occupied her 1
attention during the remainder of
the service. When she reached home
she rushed to ber room and seized
her Bible. After an arduous search
she found the place and read: "A.
day in Thy oourts is better than a
thousand, I had raiher be a door-
keeper ,,.
"Doorkeeper! Ohl" she said faintly, and sat down on the edge of the
bed,
