Many a young girl's beauty is wasted by unnecessary pain at
time of menstruation, and many indulgent mothers with
mistaken kindness permit their daughters to grow careless
about physical health.

WOMAN’S LIFE IN DAWSON.
Writes Interestingly of Her Experience In a
Queer Klondike Tent.
Mrs. M. R. Hill has written an inter¬
esting letter to her mother at Nyaek,
N. Y., fnm the Klondike. Mrs. Hill,
after her marriage, went with her
husband to seek gold. She has had
many thrilling experiences and gone
through much hardship. Mrs. Hall is
one of the few women in the gold
region, and aids her husband in pros¬
pecting. Her mother has received sev¬
eral gold nuggets, which Mrs. Hill
found.
Mrs. Hill writes from Dawson, on
December 12. She tells of going from
Dawson to Stampede Gulch, a dis¬
tance of seventeen miles, one Sunday.
It was "just about freezing.” She
cam back on Wednesday and It was
then 20 degrees below zero. It was 25
below when they reached Dawson.
“I walked back in five hours,” she
writes. “I had on a fur cap and it
came down around my neck and ears
and over my forehead to my eyes. I
had a veil, folded four times, tied
around the lower pant of my face. I
wore a short dress, moccasins, leg-
gins and a heavy cape. I did not feeS
the cold, but I was just white witl
frost, and a neighbor had to tear the
things from me. From that time on
the thermometer kept going down un¬
til it got to the bottom, 45 below. This
lasted for a week, and then it grew
warmer, until now it is about at the
freezing point.
"I believe we get a little sun yet,
but where I am we can’t see it It Is
dark at 4 p. m. and light at 9 a. m.
While waiting for spring, so that we
can prospect again, we try to sleep
thirteen hours out of the twenty-four,
and then wonder what we will do the
remainder of the day.
“We have had some snow, but not
as much as usual. It is about eight
indies deep now. The prices of pro¬
visions still advance. There is plenty
of food, but the companies keep the
prices up, and it costs a miner $5 a
day to live.
“I do not intend to leave here until
I have made a fortune, This life
agrees with me and I am actually get¬
ting fat. The trouble with many here
is that they get discouraged too soon
and give it up. I am one of the few
women here who entered to stick to it
until we ‘strike it rich.’
“Our house it a tent fixed up on
boards to make the walls six feet
high. It is 10x17 inside. Outside it is
boarded up to the eaves, and about
seven inches of sawdust packed be¬
tween the boards and tent. Then we
have six inches of dead air space be¬
tween the tent roof, and then another
canvas roof. We have a flat ceiling
of canvas and a board floor. We have
a door and two windows, and manage
to live comfortably.”
Forestalled.
The young woman seemed to feel an
impulse to turn her head, and she
yielded to it.
Imediately behind her in the hurry¬
ing crowd she saw a man whose glit¬
tering eye was fixed with maniacal
glare upon the glossy braid of hair
that hung down her back.
“So, sir,” she said, with a self pos¬
session rare in one so immature, “you
are watching for a chance to cut and
run, are you?”
For a moment longer he gazed at the
shining braid, and then he turned
away.
“ ’Tis false!” he muttered, and then
he vanished in the crowd.—Chicago

STORY OF A SENATOR.
BEVERIDGE HAD TO STRUGGLE
WHEN YOUNG.
A ?roteg;e of the Lnte Senator Mc¬
Donald-Once u Cowboy on the ’West¬
ern ritiiut)—Worked Ills Way Through
College*
Senator-elect Beveridge of Indiana is
a native of Ohio. He was born Oct.
6, 1862, in Highland county. His father
and all of his brothers were in the
union army, and his mother devoted
all her time during the rebellion to
gathering provisions for the union sol¬
diers. At the close of the war Mr.
Beveridge’s fqther lost all of his prop¬
erty and became heavily involved in
debt. The family was forced to give
up the farm in Ohio and moved to Illi¬
nois.
There Mr. Beveridge’s life from the
age of 12 was one of great privation,
hardship and toil. At 12 years of age
he was a plowboy, at 14 he was work¬
ing' as a laborer, at railroad construc¬
tion, and doing the work to which the
strongest men were assigned, such as
driving an old-fashioned scraper.
At 15 he became a logger and team¬
ster, and by reason of his natural com¬
mand of men was placed in charge of a
logging camp. He made his way

SENATOR BEVERIDGE,
through the high school of the town in
which he lived by entering the fall and
winter terms late and quitting early
each year and by working nights and
mornings.
Edward Anderson, a friend of Bev¬
eridge’s, who now lives in North Da¬
kota, loaned him ?50, and on this he
entered De Pauw University. He be¬
came the steward of a college club, and
in this way passed through his first
year, at the end of which he began
by merit to win for himself the series
of prizes in scholarship, philosophy,
science and oratory, which, by the end
of his college course, amounted to
enough to pay two years of his ex¬
penses. He entered college late in
the term each year and quit early, giv¬
ing every moment of his vacation to
unremitting work. As a result of this
the young man’s health gave way, and
at the end of his college course he was
quite ill. To recover his health he
went to the plains of western Kansas
and eastern Colorado, and for some
time lived with the cowboys, who be¬
came, in all the ranches, his fast
friends.
Finally, feeling that his health was
sufficiently restored, he went to In¬
dianapolis and was given the privilege
of studying law in the office of Joseph
E. McDonald.
During the first year of his study of
law young Beveridge had so little
money that he lived on two meals a
day much of the time. At the end of
the first year the firm of McDonald &
Butler offered him their managing
clerkship, with all the duties of the
third partner on his shoulders. He
declined to accept on the ground that
he had not studied law long enough.
Senator McDonald replied that if they
could stand it he should be able to.
Beveridge’s first case before a jury was
in the United States Court, with Gen¬
eral Harrison and his firm on the
other side. The case lasted many days,
during which the day set for Mr. BeV-
eridge’s wedding to Miss Katherine
Langsdale of Greencastle arrived, and
Judge Woods adjourned court.
Beveridge went to Greencastle, was
married, returned that night to In¬
dianapolis, and next morning was
again in court to attend to his case.
His first argument before a tribunal
of justice was in the Supreme Court
of Indiana, upon a question involving
the constitutionality of a statute.
During the time that Mr. Beveridge
remained with the firm of McDonald &
Butler he had exclusive charge of
many of the important cases of that
firm, and was consulted by Senator
McDonald in every case of importance.
After his experience with McDonald
& Butler, Mr. Beveridge began the
practice of law himself. In his pro¬
fession jie has been successful, having
been engaged in cases of the greatest
Importance, such as the one involving
the power of the legislature and gov¬
ernor to appoint the oil and mine in¬
spectors, and the state statistician, In
Governor Hovey’s time, which case at¬
tracted the attention of the bar
throughout the country; the famous
state railway tax case, in which he
made the argument in the Supreme
Court; he wrote the brief filed in the
Supreme Court of the United States in
the Pennsylvania cases, involving the
question of taxing railroad property in
indianato the value of $150,000,000, and
in the life insurance tax case he made
an argument which was widely repro¬
duced throughout the country.

JEKYL ISLAND DEER.
Swim Across St. Simon „ Sound in Search
of Food.
It has always been claimed that the
game on Jekyl Island would not leave
the island, but reports from St. Si¬
mon’s come to the effect that numbers
of the deer are swimming across St.
Simon’s sound and landing on the
beach near Ocean pier, says the Sa¬
vannah (Ga.) News. The result of
this is that numerous hunters are get¬
ting shots and enjoying venison in
such quantities as they have never en¬
joyed that delicacy before. It seems
that the deer on Jekyl have increased
so numerously within the past few
years that thfey are no longer wholly
wild, but at night come up around the
clubhouse and play around the flowers.
Their depredations on the choice beds
of the millionaires’ favorite plants be¬
came so troublesome that a strong
wire fence was built and now incloses
some acres of the ground immediately
around the clubhouse. This kept the
deer away from the flowers, but it did
not do anything toward stopping them
from increasing in numbers. When
the storm came it carried away lots of
the vegetation that the deer had been
feeding on, and there was not enough
left to go around. The deer then com¬
menced to figure on going off to get
something to eat, and It ended in
their seeking St. Simon’s. It is a good
swim across the sound to St. Simon’s
beach, but they made it, and now the
hunters string along the coast and
watch for them to come. Sometimes
men are in boats crossing the sound,
and see the deer coming. A chase en¬
sues over the water, and frequently
the deer turn back toward the Jekyl
shore and seek refuge in the woods of
the island. They seem to know that
no one is allowed to place his feet on
Jekyl without permission from the
club, and in this their instinct tells
them that it is better to swim a long
way back and get safe on Jekyl than
it is to swim even a short way to St.
Simon’s and then run the risk of be¬
ing hunted by men on foot and horse¬
back after they get there. It is a
novel state of affairs, but it is safe to
say that one-half of the .deer could
leave Jekyl and there would still be
enough left for the millionaire sports
who visit that place to have all they
wanted to shoot at.
“DON’T GIVE UP THE SHIP.”
The famous Captain Lawrence, who
shouted “Don’t give up the ship” at a
critical period in our naval history,
is to be honored by having his name
attached to the hull of a new torpedo-
boat destroyer ordered by the govern¬
ment, and the woman who will hail
her as "Lawrence” is a New York girl
selected by the Secretary of the navy.
The young lady to whom this honor
thus appropriately falls is Miss Ruth
Lawrence of 285 Lexington avenue,
who is a descendant of Captain James
Lawrence, commander of the Chesa-
peake in the war of 1812, for whom the
new destroyer is named. Miss Law¬
rence comes of an old American fam¬
ily, dating back to colonial days. Sev¬
eral of her ancestors distinguished
themselves in the colonial wars and
the war of the revolution. She is a
daughter of Abraham T '. Lawrence, for
over twenty-five 'years justice of the
United States Supreme Court. Miss
Lawrence takes an active part in wom¬
an’s affairs in this city, being a prom¬
inent member of the Colonial Dames
of the state of New York, an incorpo¬
rator of the Little Sisters of the Quill.
She is author of a book of “Colonial
Verses” and writes short stories and
poems for various periodicals. At the
outbreak of the war with Spain Miss
Lawrence volunteered as a. nurse, but
lacked the necessary experience. She
has traveled extensively and her so¬
cial standing as a member of the old
Lawrence family is acknowledged.

breath cheered on his crew with the
now famous sentence: "Don’t give up

treasures of the navy, the latest addi¬

POWER OF A JUDGE.
EDITOR 13 PUT IN JAIL FOR
CONTEMPT.
Boston Newspaper Criticises a Court
and Its Author Is Made to Suffer—
One of the Dangerous Signs of the
Times.
For contempt of court, a Boston edi¬
tor is serving thirty days in jail in
Dedham, Mass. It is the first time the
staid New England city has been face
to face with a question involving, as
it does, the freedom of the press, and
there is great interest in the outcome.
The technical offense of Torrey E.
Wardner, who is editor of the Boston
Traveler, Is publishing comments upon
a trial before its adjudication by the
jury, but the story behind the whole
matter would show that Judge Sher¬
man, who sentenced the editor, is
avenging himself for sharp criticism of
his actions on the bench published in
the Traveler. It was claimed by the
Traveler that Judge Sherman had
sharply cross-examined the defendant
in a case in which the newspaper had
interested Itself as against a railroad
corporation, and that the court had
afterward realized the error of his
ways and had apologized when taken
to task by the attorney for the de¬
fense. The Traveler referred to this
as “Judge Sherman’s Bad Break,” and
this seemed to anger his honor to such
an extent that he sent for Editor Tor¬
rey, and when the latter declared he
would stand by everything his paper
had said, Judge Sherman sentenced
him to thirty days in jail for contempt.
The Traveler is a 1-cent afternoon
paper of the type commonly designat¬
ed as “sensational.” It is published on

pink paper and has screaming head¬
lines and many editions every after¬
noon. For some time the paper has
seen fit to criticise the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Com¬
pany on every occasion, and this fight
is really back of the present trouble of
Editor Torrey.
Last August there was a bad acci¬
dent near Sharon station, on the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail¬
road. One section of a passenger train
crashed into the rear of the section pre¬
ceding it. Five persons were killed
and eighty-seven injured. The engineer
of the second section, Daniel W. Get-
chell, was arrested and indicted for
manslaughter, it being charged that
he had “feloniously and willfully
killed Franklin M. Waters of Somer¬
ville.” Waters was one of the passen¬
gers. Getchell was discharged by the
railroad, which maintained that the
red danger signals were properly set
on the block in which the first section
was, and that it was Getchell’s fail¬
ure to properly use the brakes which
caused the accident. Getchell admit¬
ted that the signals were all right, and
declared that he had used all the
brakes, but that they were out of or¬
der and would not hold the train. Here
was the issue, and the Traveler took
up Getchell’s fight.
On Dec. 14 Getchell was put on trial
before Judge Sherman in the Superior
court of Norfolk county, that being the
county in which the accident had
taken place, and the Traveler began
his defense in its news columns. Court
convened in the town of Dedham. In
the introduction to the day’s story
published in the paper of Dec, 14 was
the following:
“A lonely looking figure in that
courtroom was Getchell. The hand of
every man In the pay of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
Company seemed to be raised against
him. He felt that all the complex ma¬
chinery at the command of the power¬
ful corporation, which he had served
faithfully for seventeen years, had
been set in motion to secure his con¬
viction. He felt, too, that in their anx¬
iety to screen their own shortcomings
and divert public attention his late em¬
ployers had made him a scapegoat.”
On the following day there appeared
in the Traveler the editorial which os¬
tensibly was the basis for the editor’s
sentence. The next day the jury found
Getchell guilty and sentenced him to
two years at hard labor, and the ver¬
dict was not commented on by the
Traveler.

VICTIM OF “TELEPATHY.”
Curious Condition * DU not'd by the Cse
of Cocaine.
There came to me late one night a
stranger, In wildest despair, resolved
to commit suicide that night If I could
not help him, says Professor Munster-
berg in the January Atlantic. Ho hart
been a physician, hut had given up his
practice because his brother, on the
other side of the ocean, hated him and
had him under his telepathic influ¬
ence, troubling him from over the sea
with voices which mocked him and
with impulses to foolish actions. He
had not slept nor had he eaten' any¬
thing for several days, and the only
chance for life he saw was that a new
hypnotic Influence might overpower
the mystical hypnotic forces. I soon
found the Source of his trouble. In
treating himself for a wound he had
misused cocaine in an absurd way, and
the hallucinations of voices were the
chief symptoms of his cocainism.
These products of his poisoned brain
had sometimes reference to his brother
in Europe, and thus the telepathic sys¬
tem grew in him and permeated his
' whole life. I hypnotized him, and sug¬
gested to him with success to have
sleep and food and a smaller dose of
cocaine. Then I hypnotized him daily
for six weeks. After ten days he gave
up cocaine entirely, after three weeks
the voices disappeared, and after that
the other symptoms faded away. It
was not, however, until the end that
the telepathic system was exploded.
Even when the voices had gone, he for
a while felt his movements controlled
over the ocean, and after six weeks,
when I had him quite well again, he
laughed over his telepathic absurdities,
but assured me that if these sensations
came again he should he unable, even
in full health, to resist the mystical
interpretation,, so vividly had he felt
the distant influences.
STARVED SIXTY-FIVE DAYS.
A. D. Hendrickson of Janesville,
Wis., has for sixty-five days partaken
of no food, and there is no telling
when he will. Mr. Hendrickson is 81
years old, hut his long fast does not
seem to disturb him in the least. He
says he feels perfectly well and is not
at all hungry.
The case is attracting the attention
of physicians and is said to be with¬
out its like in the records. On Dec. 1
the octogenarian was stricken with
paralysis. For several days he was
unable to eat, hut he soon recovered
the use of his muscles. He then re¬
fused food and has lived on water
ever since. His pulse is normal, he
sleeps well and seems in no need of
nourishment. Of course he could be
forced to take food, but his family is
disinclined to adopt extreme measures
so long as the patient is in no appar¬
ent need of nutriment. Mr. Hendrick¬
son came here from New York in 1855,
and has been prominent as an educa¬
tor in industrial and penal schools
since then. He was sent to England In
