TALKING KILLED HIM BhT THE HUYORISTS HAVE IG- NORED THE INCIDENT One of St. Pant's Grand Old Women Shows How to Grow Old Gracefully —She Still Brings Cheer Wherever Bhe Goes. * Did you read about the man who talked himself to death? Strange, wasn't it, for a man? Ifit been a wom- an nobody would have thought it at all strange. But a man! He, had been wounded In the jaw and his physicians told him that if he kept perfectly quiet he would get well. Well, do you sup- pose that man kept still? Not a bit of it. He went right on talking and the wound had no chance to heal and he died. And not a funny paragraph has been written about him, but if that had been a woman, George Ade, Mr. Dooley and John Kendrick Bangs would have worked overtime to write funny stories about her. But It was a man and there is silence. What a difference there is in the way some persons have of growing old; there is a way to do it gracefully and make every one glad to have those who know how about them; and then there is a cross, crabbed way, which makes others fly. And it all lies with our- selves whether as we grow Older we will be a delight to those about us or the other thing. There is a lonely old lady living in one of the suburbs of this city who is an example to all about her. She is one of the oldest settlers about here now; indeed, she is said to be the only woman now living who was here in 1848. She has gone through seas o£ trouble in her life, but today she is more cheerful and better company than half the young women In town. In speaking of her troubles recently she said that once when she was in the greatest sorrow she said to herself: "The Lord is trying to see how much I can bear, and I'll just show him!" So \u25a0she kept her head up and marched along, never losing her courage and never talking of her troubles. A few years ago she moved out to a suburb to live with a married daughter and, realizing that her old friends were dy- ing off, she decided to make new ones. A very wise thing to do, by the way, and implies no disloyally to old friends. So this brave old lody went about and gathered the women of that suburb to- gether and formed a literary clvb— mind you, she is nearly eighty—and to- day that club has over forty members and has joined the State Federation. The mother of the club is its founder and most active member, and this au- tumn she Is probably going to Mankato to represent her club at the annual convention. Speaking of Mankato, she said she had been down there fifty years before there was a single house. This dear old lady is welcome every- where; she is related to some of St. Paul's oldest and best families and thinks nothing of coming into town for several days or going up to Min- neapolis to visit cousins. And such stories as she can tell! Not long ago the Historical society asked her to write her reminiscences of early days here, and she said that if they would let'her crochet them or knit them she would do it, but she did hate to write. Now, why can't we all grow old that way and keep our courage and good spirits to the end?

WILLIAMS BAT, Wis., Aug. 17.— The thirteenth annual conference of the Your.g Women's Christian asso- ciation opened auspiciously. About 50 girls are enrolled and more are ex- pected by the end of the week. Many of the Eastern and Western as well as the Central states are represented. The grounds are in excellent condition and accommodations good. Miss Ber- tha Conde, student secretary of the American committee, is the leader of the conference for 1903, and Miss Ruth Paxon and Miss Frances Bridges, stu- dent secretaries, are also in charge of important work. Today all the Bible classes, missionary and student con- ferences were opened. Hom-Severson. Special to The Globe. HAYWARD, Wis., Aug. 17.—Rev. L. W.

Cold water, intelligently used, will do almost more than anything else to prevent the catching-cold habit from fastening on one. An ill kept outer skin and a dyspeptic condition of the mucous membranes on the inside are said to be largely responsible for colds. A cold tub or sponge bath each morn- ing, preceded and followed by a brisk dry rub, is usually all that is necessary to keep the cutaneous circulation alive and the skin braced against changes in temperature. This may be too heroic for those not accustomed to it. In that case begin with the water at any com- fortable temperature, making it one de- gree colder each morning. If the body is rubbed with salt or alcohol after dry- ing the reaction is intensified. For those who cannot take the cold sponge bath, the dry rub is a fair substitute. When wet or chilly, "keep moving." It is dangerous and it may mean death to stand still on a street corner. No word is so common in these days as neurasthenia; yet it is hot easy to define, and many of those who use it have only the vaguest idea what it means. The word originated with a New York physician, and the malady indicated thereby has usually been re- garded as a distinctively American one, though it is found in most countries of, the civilized world, and the unfortunate Mrs. Carlyle is now declared by Sir James Crichton Brown to have been "neurotic." Wear ana tear, storm and stress, a badly regulated life, in short, are the causes usually assigned for this derangement of function resulting from the exhaustion of nervous energy, but defects of nutrition also have much to do with it, and the solution of the problem, as in many other cases, may rest ultimately with the cook. "The cult of ihs rain bath" is the po- etical name given to the latest com- plexion cure. Somebody having dis- covered what everybody has always known, that rain water is good for the complexion and that fogs and damp weather tend to prolong the delicate pink and whiteness of the cheeks, the young girls and younger matrons at fashionable watering places are going in for rain baths. That is to say, as soon as a stiff shower sets in, every- body makes off to the bath house, put on her bathing togs and lolls around on the beach. The idea is to get thor- oughly wet before taking the final plunge into the surf. A bottle of lavender water and a< dainty cambric handkerchief - will be found welcome -adjuncts to one's trav- eling kit on a long journey. It will be found most refreshing, not only on the way, but at the end of the journey. A pair of thin slippers will also help in promoting comfort. Some physicians recommend cold, weak tea as the best drink for a long railway journey, |>ut such things must always be left to the custom and temperament of the indi- vidual. "Don't sleep under tto many bed clothes," cautions a physician. "It is 'unhygienic to have too much covering, as it keeps in the impurities of the body. Try to do with little bed cloth- ing, and se if you do not sleep bet- ter." Mrs. Vanderbiit's Benevolence. About everything has been told of Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt except her benevolence, and for this quality she is known principally in Paris. Few wom- en in the French capital are so well beloved by the native people, and as Mrs. Lewis M. Rutherfurd she sub- scribed generously to hospitals and settlements. Now Mrs. Vanderbilt will give a home for friendless girls, with a hospital annex. This is the sort of charity that counts. When Mrs. Van- derbilt lived in Paris as a widow her share of the Harriman estate was suf- ficient to permit the broad relief of destitute families. Mrs. Rutherfurd's housekeeper always kept in touch with missions and settlements, and the gentle American gave away thousands a year. Now that she can call upon some of the Vanderbilt millions it will not be surprising if her benefactions amount to enormous sums. It is whispered that Mrs. Vanderbilt and her stepdaughter-in-law, Mrs. Willie K. Vanderbilt Jr. are not ex- tremely friendly, and the mere fact that the young Vanderbilt held aloof from the marriage speaks eloquently in favor of this rumor. Mrs. Willie K. Jr. has always been fond of her mother-in-law. Mrs. Belmont, and so it will not be wondered at should she ig- nore her husband's stepmother. Mrs. Belmont and the sister of Mrs. Her- man Oelrichs are bosom friends, and it was the former who arranged the ii'.mi-i-iaso l;?tiveen Miss Fair and young Vtinderbilt. Young Mrs. Vanderbilt has espoused the cause of Mrs. Bel- mont more openly, and for this reason she has not been popular with other Vanderbilts. At best it was a difficult position for the young bride. Consuelo.

Of course, you ca-n put it up in hair curlers at night, and then you need not use the tongs. But If there comes a rainy, damp day, they come in very nicely. If the Lord did not give you curly hair, you must do the best you can, but be comforted; straight hair is considered more elegant than curly.

She hath no wish but wish of mine, No joy save to obey, And at my side her form must bide Until my dying day. My Heart's Possessed hath stilled me From all unrest malgin; Yea. eased the hope that thrilled me With too keen pain and fine. Yet, O my Heart, my Heart's Desire, My ungained dream divine.

Rub well into the roots, and if you rinse it thoroughly no odor will be perceptible. Try an entirely different way of arranging your hair. Part it in the middle, curl it on both sides and put it low on your neck for a change. It is fashionable so now. For your complexion it would be better to consult a physician than to write this page. Wash your face thoroughly at night, then rub the yellow spots with, lemon juice, and put on some good cold cream. Use plenty of soap and water. If it does not improve, go to a doctor. As to making friends, if you make it a point to be always agreeable and smiling, and to forget yourself, I think you will have little difficulty. Little courtesies go a long ways. If you are a friend to others you will find you have many friends. As to your nose, I fear you will have to keep that one, but ifit does not suit you exactly, try to forget it, and remember that those who really like you don't care if your nose isn't perfection, and others who might make a point of your nose, wouldn't be worth knowing. Cheer up, my dear girl, you're not made wrong at all. You can write a very nice let- ter, and I hope you will send another for this page. —Marie. This is one of the new fall models.

We lingering turn and look again,. White as the wing of seabird swift. Or new-fallen snow's unsullied drift. So we with those our hearts hold dear Dwell side by side and year by year.

Then to us, watching from the shore, Their sails are white forevermore. —Mary Johnson in the Boston Transcript. "THAT PASSETH UNDERSTANDING."

ITEMS FROM EVERYWHERE Slowly but steadily women .are feel- Ing their way toward the attitude men have so long assumed —that gloves are worth while, regarded only from the utilitarian standpoint, as coverings to keep the hands either warm or clean. There is only one- occasion when a man puts on gloves in deference to etiquette. That is when he dances. During warm weather women are only too glad to accept the masculine arguments against glove wearing, as many a pair of tanned hands reveals. The first step toward the emancipation of women from gloves was taken when the fact was published that small, tight-fitting gloves are really inelegant, induce red noses and make the hands look yellow and wrinkled. The next step was tak- en when women discovered how very convenient and comfortable it was to go without gloves at all. \u25a0 A pretty Idea for a golden wedding invitation was that adopted by Canon and Mrs. Alfred J. Carver, of Dulwich college, England, on the recent celebra- tion of the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding. At the top of the card ap- peared portraits of the aged couple as they are today and at the bottom were reproductions of companion portraits painted at the time of their marriage. As Canon and Mrs. Carver are a hand- some couple, these cards with their pictures made an exceptionally inter- esting souvenir of the celebration. An artificial floor of gravel or rubbie is beginning to take the place of the sweet green turf in lawn tennis courts. It does not look so well, but it is easily kept in order, and no variety of bad weather except frost and snow will put it out of action. The ball bounds truer from gravel than from turf, and when a wet summer converts even the hard rolled cricket ground into a species of swamp there is much to be said for the artificially floored tennis court. A smart frock of chiffon had a skirt trimming that was delightful. Big, flat rosettes of imitation 'Val" had in the center of each a rhinestone button. Then these rosettes were strung along, one after the other, like a rosary, as a heading for a number of chiffon ruf- fles edged with the same lace. A pretty girl, whose ohapeaus are the admiration of her friends, says that when she makes or buys a hat, and It does not set well on her head or have the expected effect, she pulls It all to pieces and makes it up again. "I find," she says, "that, it generally happens that the hat is built wrong. It's a fault in the architecture, and you can't make it better by twisting or pulling. It has to be started afresh, or the architec- tural faults will remain Just the same." Handbags in geranium red . louslne are considered smart. They may be unlined or lined with white or red china silk. Below a two-inch heading a casing is run to hold the broad geranium red taffeta ribbons that are tied together and slipped over the arm. Mice and rats are sure signs of build- Ing defects, and in old houses the walls and floors are often so infested with them that It Is almost impossible to get rid of them. The only thing to be done is to discover the places of entrance and-stop them up with plaster of paris mixed with a stiff paste with water and broken glass, or else with common hard soap. Traps and a good cat are better than poison, as the latter is dangerous Jo pets and* children, and the animals may die in inconvenient places. Rats in drains are in their proper places, but once they come out they should be hunted down ruthlessly, for they are perfect disease carriers. A trap often seems to bring as many rats as it kills, so the best thing is to call in the build- er and have every possible place of en- trance closed up. To make a clam -cocktail that will be appreciated on a warm day take a little Worcestershire sauce or catsup, horse- radish, salt, pepper and the juice of a, lemon, and beat with a little chopped Ice in a bowl that has been chilled. Place six small clams In each glass and potir a little of the dressing over them. The glasses should have been chilled first. The Empire club of London, a sort of international women's organization, is very successful. It is a sort.of general rendezvous or open house, into which "visiting ladles from other parts of the world can drop and be sure of renew- ing old acquaintances with their Eng- lish friends. It is chiefly haunted by visitors from the British colonies and from the United States. Mrs. Herbert Chamberlain is president and among the prominent members are the mar- chioness of Londonderry, the countess of Jersey and Lady Stanley Clarke. ilt is suggested that for the woman who does not possess the luxury of a private bath a bath basket would be a most desirable possession. Such a bas- ket would be exactly like a baby's; in fact, you begin by selecting a large- sized baby basket for the purpose. Silk rubber pockets of various sizes may be sewn to the sides, and will 3erve to hold toothbrush, nailbrush, washcloth and sponge. There may be also pouches for talcum powder and other complexion beautiflers. In the bot- tom of the basket may be set the cold cream, soaps, almond meal, vasseline and kindred articles. The convenience of such a basket is chiefly that it can be so readily carried about, and that It holds the various things all together. Ah American lady is responsible for a remarkable innovation. She took over to England a number of women grooms and now they have become a fad with wealthy English. The espe- cial duty of the feminine groom is to attend her mistress when out on horse- back. It is now pointed out that she is much more desirable in that capacity than a man. She is useful in case of illness or accident, and she can wait on her mistress in many useful ways. Be- sides she serves for company if the latter feels inclined to talk, while the male attendant must, of course, be steadfastly ignored. Women grooms do not care for the horses. If compe- tent, they teach their employer to ride, aiding her to mount and dismount. These positions are usually held by the daughters of riding masters. While the tendency la toward be- ginning married life upon a somewhat lavish scale, the bride who is satisfied to do her own housework or a part of it Is not yet extinct. She usually starts out in her new life with a knowledge of cookery obtained from a course at some first-class cooking school and a training in bedmaking, sweeping and A Skin of Bsauiy la a Joy Foravar. tf|R.

"Some time ago I saw In the Star a little story about a Washington fel- low who had induced his sister, just home from school, to put on the gloves with him, not knowing that she had been boxing and punching the bag at the school and winning prizes for her work in those lines, and how she fool- ed him by nearly knocking his block off," said a well known young Wash- ington athlete, a member of one of the upper Patomac rowing clubs. "Well, I had an experience similar to that last summer, only it doesn't hinge on boxing, but rowing. "I spent part of last summer at a hotel up on Lake George, and one aft- ernoon I met a girl who had just arriv- ed at the hotel with her mother, who came pretty near lookfhg about all right to me. She was tall and sun- browned and had a swing and a dash and go about her that filled my eye. I got a whole lot busy trying to make a hit with her from the jump, and I plodded along so successfully that on the next afternoon I felt strong enough to ask her to take a ride with me in my shell. I was keeping in shape by taking a spin over the lake every evening, and I figured that that wil- lowy and clever girl would look pretty good sitting in the little seat opposite me in my shell. So I asked her. "She seemed a bit hesitant about it, so I said to her: " 'You're not afraid to go into a shell, are you?* my idea being to arouse her sporting blood. " 'N —no,' she replied, somewhat slow, 'but—is It quite safe, do you think, really?" " 'Safe aa going to church,' said I, in my cunnin' off-hand way. 'All you've got to do is to just keep still in your little seat atod—watch me. Of course, you won't be able to move around a whole lot in the shell, but I won't keep you out long enough to make you nervous.' " 'Well, I'll ask mamma,' she replied, and presently she came hack and said that mamma had..glyen her the re- quired permission to accompany .me in the shell. In fact, mamma walked down to the landing with us and watched me place her daughter in the little seat —but I didn't notice that there was a sort of underhand smile on mamma's face when I said to the girl: " 'Now, these shells are pretty turn- turtle-ey If they're not balanced right, and so you must keep your center of gravity, you know.' "Then I shoved off and bent to the work of pulling the prettiest girl around Lake George over the blue water. I had my regular rowing togs on, and I felt a whole lot complaisant with my- self as I talked to the girl and ex- plained to her the kinks of shell-pull- ing while I rowed. She locked at me with large, wondering and absorbed eyes while I told her all about it, and I felt that I was winning out handsomely with the lady of the lake. Worse than giving me the baby stare out of those big gray eyes of hers, She asked me a whole lot of questions about rowing, and she 'Oh'd! 1 and 'Oh, goodness'd!' in a charmingly feminine way when I sot real strong with myself and yanked the shell over the water at a particular- ly warm clip. "I had covered about three miles, dusting secured at hme under the ex- perienced eye of her mother. She probably had taken care of her own room since she was old and strong enough to handle the articles in it and had otherwise eased the burdens of household cares which her mother was carrying. Living in a moderate way, she expected nothing above it when she married, but was content to begin in simple fashion, no matter how sim- ple, so long as debt was avoided. A woman who live 3in Geneseo, N. V., put two fine lace collars out on the lawn in front of her house to dry. When she went to get them, an hour later, they were gone. She was sure nobody stole- them, because she was sitting beside a window at the front of the house at the time, and would have seen anybody entering the. yard. The next day she put another collar out and watched. A robin flew down from an apple tree near by and carried off the collar. An investigation was made and the other collars were found woven into the bird's nest in the crotch of the apple tree. There was also a small lace handkerchief in the nest. The bird that was doing the "fine art" nest building and its mate set up a big outcry and pecked fiercely at the man in the tree when the ne3t was being pulled down. In New Holland, Lancaster county, Pa., there is a primitive settlement, a small' coramuWty in wliich everything goes on as it did many generations ago, when its founders first landed on American .soil. Among these Amlsh people frugality, industry and simplic- ity are the cardinal virtues, and in the busy strifes of the outside world they concern themselves not at all. The flat-crowned hats of the men and ths severely plain gowns and poke bon- nets of the women are also worn by little boys and girls. All these things are regulated* by eklers. even the width of the bonnet strings worn by the women. Equality of labor between the sexes is rigidly observed, the women working in the field If their household duties do not fully occupy them. For the rest they '"learn in silence with all subjection." They have nothing to do with the direction of affairs. Summer, says an Amish wife and mother. Is a time of almost incessant labor, but in the fall of the year recreation, in tha form of quilting bees and corn husk- ings In indulged.in. The most impor- tant annual gathering is that for the making of sauerkraut. The clothes of the Amish women are precisely the same as their ances- tresses wore centuries ago; yet, for all the lack of the gayety and the unre- mitting toll of their lives, they are sajd to be very happy and contented. "Even the birds must laugh at the flower beds and 'designs' with which many of our hotels, and, alas, our 7 PAPA—Oh, what a pain! I believe I have a fever In the heart 658 MAMMA—Nonsense, It Isn't your heart. It's your stomach. Every time you eat. this hot weather, you get a sour stomach fujl of hot gases and acids, and you swell up until your heart hardly has room to beat. U you were not so obstin- ate, you'd take my advice and keep your lnsides cool by taking a CASCARET Candy Cathartic every night before going to bed. They work while you sleep •od keep you regular in the hottest weather. A Twentieth Century Girl when I began to feel like taking a little lean on my oars, and I did. " 'Tired?' the girl asked me—but even then I didn't see the twinkle in her eye. "'Me tired? Why, the idee!' said I, and I was going to pick up the oars again to show her that there was no such a thing as such a Sandow as I becoming tired, when she said to me. " 'Do you know, I think I should like to try to row this boat.' "I told her to try to forget any such idea as that—that we'd probably b« in forty feet of water and trying to get a clutch on an overturned shell in a little less than no time. '"Perhaps not —who knows?' said the girl then, and it was about then that I thought I fancied that there might be something doing in the surprise line in connection with that girl. 'Let me try, anyway, won't you?' "Well, that put it up to me, of course, and I began to explain to her how to change places with me, previously tell- ing her, however, that it was a good thing she knew how to swim, for. I said, I thought I saw an impromptu swim in store for her. I was still tell- ing her how to change places in the shell when she motioned me to cease and before I knew it she had taken my seat and I was sitting in hers, and it was all done so neatly and expertly that I could only look at her with open mouth—she had switched places with me like an old oarsman. I was pretty nearly next by that time. "I was altogether next when the giri rolled her sleeves up to the shoulder, showing her magnificently developed sun-browned arms. Then she smiled in a vague sort of way at me, picked up the splashers—and then I tumbled. "Oh, she had the Courtney champion- ship stroke, that's all. She pulled the shell and herself and me through the water at a clip that I hadn't thought of setting when I had the oars, and then I felt like a toy baloon that has floated into a field of cactus. She overtook a big chap who was pulling a single at a long, even and speedy clip, and she promptly hooked up with him and gave him all the work he needed or wanted for a mile or so. I didn't interrupt her to ask questions—she was too busy en- joying herself—until she had pulled the shell back to the landing. " 'Ask me some more questions about rowing, please,' I said to her, feeling like a rusty tin-tag. 'I like to tell you • all about it, you know. 1 "She cnly smiled and showed her white teeth and made a sort of a face at me, and then she sail: " 'Well, I like to hear new views about things in which I am interested —rowing, for instance —and you don't mind expressing them to me if I like to hear them, do you? By the way, here is a prize that I won during my last year at school for winning over all of the girls in the singles/ and she showed me a beautiful little watch, set with diamonds and emeralds, pinned to her waist. The next afternoon we went rowing again, but she was then in her own shell, which had arrived by ex- press, and in her regular racing togs, and I guess maybe she didn't look a picture in them, either. "I came pretty near finding just how much the rest of the girls that I met at Lake George last summer knew about such things as rowing and the like before I made a yap of myself again."—Washington Star. house lawns, too, are scarred," says Prof. Bailey, of Cornell university. "Now, a flower garden ia another mat- ter, and an achievement in which one may work hand in hand with nature herself. I sympathize with the man who said he liked sunflowers because there was enough of them to enjoy. Why should not we plant pinks and asters and heliotrope in banks of ten and twenty feet breadth, after the ex- ample of mother nature?" Th« pro- fessor goes on to point out the restful beauty of great sweeps of greensward, and urges that vines and climbers be planted about trees, geraniums and other bright blossoms grouped around the corners of the house, in the angles of the porches and about the outbuild- ings. Costly lawns are often ruined because of the lack of judgment in their arrangement, and many easily grown and enjoyable bloomers are cul- tivated in such niggardly fashion that, like the sunflower man, one does not find enough of them to enjoy." Miss Marguerite Hayden, the daugh- ter of the late William R. Hayden, who was a well known theatrical manager, is to follow the family bent and go upon the stage. She will make her debut in the Earl ofPawtucket," in the role of Ella Seaford. Her father died, leaving a comfortable fortune to her and her mother, who has a fine coun- try residence, Hayden Heights, at the Highlands of the Navesink, N. J. Miss Hayden is tall, graceful and pretty and many of her young friends In society will be present to see her first stag* appearance. A NEW MAN. George S.
