hundred and twenty-three Is the offl-
«f «i number of the ribboned Carnegie
heroes In the United States and Can
ada.
The applications or indorsements
<ff 8,0*0 persons as heroes have been
refused by the Carnegie Hero Fund
Commission. The applications or In
dorsements of 1,102 are pending.
To heroes and their dependents
have been paid $671,041.90 In the nine
years the hero fund has been opera
tive. The pension list last year
amounted to $58,880.
The most notable cases of heroism
that paid must be registered under
tile name of Smith. Eight heroes,
six of them bearing this name, won
gold medals and $20,000 in cash.
This Is the largest and, financially
speaking, the most profitable Job of
heroism the report of the Hero Fund
Commission mentions:
February 12, 1907, the schooner
Elsie, with the six Smiths—John W
(master), A. W., G. E., H. L., Earl A.
and Louis E. -and two Littlefields—
John M. and Edgar—as crew, put
twelve miles to sea in a thtrty-flve-

For this Master John W. Smith,

Smith, a gold medsi and $2,000 for
tin education of his son, and Louis
U. Smith, nineteen years old, a gold
medal and $1,000.
The report does not go Into detail
about acts of lira very-, but from the
record the most appealing and strik
ing deeds of heroism were performed
b- a woman and a bo- of eleven.
Mrs. Marie V. B. I^ingdon, twenty,
of Taluma, Wash.. January 11, 1907,
saved, unassisted, three persons and
attempted to save a fourth In a snow
storm.
With the thermometer 14 degrees
below zero and the snow six feel deep,
Mrs. Langdon, without snowshoes,
went 600 feet from her home and
found Mrs Jacques and two of her
children only partly clothed, who had
fled from their burning home
Mrs. Langdon relieved the stricken
woman of her baby, Estelle, one year
old. and. followed by the other, car
ried the Infant to her home.
Rescues Young Boy.
Mrs Langdon then returned and
rescued the boy, Henry, two years
old, and carried him back to the
house. She then struggled back
through the deep snow, without
snowshoes, to Gertrude Jacques, four
veers old. whom the mother had been
compelled to abandon after haring
wrapped her In the only skirt she
wore.
Mrs Langdon took the child up, but
after carrying her half way to bet-
house she found the girl was dead.
She was compelled to abandon the
body and barely had strength enough
to reach home herself.
All Mrs, Langdon received was a
silver medal.
Another thrilling rescue was the
deed of a Missouri boy, Iiyndon B.
Phllfer. thirteen, of Rich Hill. I’hlfer
aaw Paul Burns, five years old, in
me middle of a railroad trestle over
a creek. A train was approaching
and the child seemed doomed.
Phifer ran on to the trestle, and.
having no time to carry the child
qff, pushed him into the creek eight
feet below. It was the lesser of the
two evils.
Phifer hung from a tie until the
train passed He received a silver
medal and $2,000.
! The statistics of the report prove
that chavalry, courage and self-sacri
fice are not dead and that no man,
woman or child dies without some
other person, often a complete stran
ger, being willing to lay down his
or her life to save that life.

ABOUT FOU A WIFE
Floretta Whaley and her blue-eyed, fair-headed little boys,
Chester and Paul.
By DOROTHY DIX.
NEW YORK, April 28.—"Mrs
Cooke is going to get a divorce at
last. As soon as possible we are
going to legalize a marriage that has
never been anything but a pure and
holy marriage to our eyes—the union
of two people who love each other
with all their hearts—and now if peo
ple will only let us alone to live our
lives simply, honestly and indus
triously, it Is all we ask. And I ask
this for the sake of my little chllrden
more than for my own."
This Is the brave and pathetic plea
that Floretta Whaley made when I
saw her In the plain, but comfortable
little home that she and her husband
have established upon the upper West
.Side. Her two little boys, as beauti
ful as cherubs, clung to her skirts.
The radiance of the good news that
her long and patient waiting was
nearly over, and that she was soon to
be wife In name as well as reality
wns In her eyes, and as she smiled at
me I thought I had never seen a pret
tier or a more radiant woman.
By all theories of retribution she
should have been a furtive, hunted
creature, with her youth blasted, and
her beauty gone. Instead she Is young
and beautiful, with a look and man
ner as frank as a boy’s. When she
went away some seven years ago she
was an Immature little school girl.
She comes back an intellectual wo
man. a woman who has studied, and
read, and thought, and grown. No
doubt she has been through the fiery
furnace-—a woman must, situated as
she has been—but she has come out
of It refined gold, and If ever the old
slogan of romance—"all for love and
the world well lost”—Justifies Itself,
It has done so In this - ase.
Warns Other Girls.
'But I don’t recommend any other
girl to do as I did." she says, her
blue eyes shining, "and It often trou
bles me to think that my example
may Influence some foolish young girl
to take a stpp that may lead her to
ruin. For every girl doesn't get the
man 1 did. A mean man will take ad
vantage of such an Irregular relation
ship to betray a girl and forsake her,
but to a noble man like Mr. Cooke it
only makes him more loyal to her ana
tenderer to her. I have never regret
ted for one minute the step 1 took,
but 1 would not advise any other girl
to take it. It Is too great a risk, as
4 see now, though 1 didn't appreciate
the danger at the time.
"So much has been written and
published about us that Isn't true,"
she went on, “that I want to tell .for
the first time, the whole story of my
life, and my and .Tere's romance'. To
begin at the beginning, my mothev
died when 1 was a little girl, and my
father when 1 was fifteen, so I was
raised by my grandmother, who stood
in a mother's place to me, and whom
I loved as if she had been a mother.
1 first met Dr. Cooke when I was
sixteen, and although 1 was such a
child, we fell madly In love with each
other. He was a married man. but—
well, young as 1 was, bound as he
was, we knew- that we had found our
mates, and nothing else In the whole
world mattered to us. We wanted to
be married legally. We didn’t want
to shock anybody, or tlout conven
tions. He told his wife and begged
her to divorce him and she refused
to do it. Bo what could wo do?
Saved For the Flight.
"We knew that she would never
change, so we determined to be
happy in spite of the law if wc could
be no other way. We saved up our
money for a whole year before wc
went away, getting ready all the time
to go. Then Jere resigned his pas
torate, and early one morning 1 took
the train for the city and met Jere
at a place we had agreed upon—on
Sixth Avenue, near a little church.
He was waiting for me at the
church,’ though we couldn’t go in It
to be married.
"That night we went over to Jer
sey and spent the night, and the next
da\ we started West, stopping off ,t
day 1n St. Louis and then going direct
to‘Los Angeles, where we fished for
a week by way of a honeymoon.
"Jere Is by trade a painter. He
made his way through college by fol
lowing the business, and so he had no
trouble about getting work. He has
never made less than $3 a day. and ot-
ten from seven to eight, so we have
never been in want, or desperately
poor as the papers have said. We
stayed in I.os Angeles awhile, then
went to San Francisco, and then back
to Los Angeles for the sake of the
climate. . .
'Last winter my grandmother, who
is nearly eighty, was In very poor
health, and wished to see me, so she
sent me the money to come East on.
and we came to New York where we

to see her every week, and take the

Mr. Cooke were never happy together
because they were not congenial As
he says, ‘You may have a perfectly
good monkey and a perfectly good
parrot, but if you put them in the
same cage there's going to be a
monkey and a parrot time of it.’
"And you?” I asked.
"I have been happy. I have never
been sorry for a minute for what I

Mrs. Samuel T. Brown, a spiritual
ist. who died at her home here re

to her funeral. She was 75 years
old.
She specified that there should be
no funeral ceremony of any kind, that
no crepe or emblem of mourning
should be worn by her friends or rel
atives, and that her body should be
cremated and the ashes scattered in
the fields. Selections from the poem
read:
When I am dead let not the narrow
grave
Shroud with its darkness that which
once I was.
Shutting me out from all the life and

That nature brings in changing sea

Let no one robed In customary black

Be sure they mourn, and in their in

SAN DIEGO, CALIF., April 36.—
Charles C. Clusker, the oldest Elk In
the world, 103 years of age and a
bachelor, announces that he Is look
ing for a wife. He is not looking pre
cipitately, for his vow that he will
forswear the Independence of bache
lorhood does not Involve fulfillment
until 1915, when he will have reached
the mellow old age of 105.
Clusker is hale and hearty. He was
a boyhood chum of Abraham Lincoln,
and it is his great pleasure to tell
how they roamed the woods together
nearly a hundred years ago, eating
persimmons and pawpaws, and a lit
tle later hunting the raccoon and the
possum.
Every day this sturdy old gentle
man walks twenty city blocks for ex
ercise, and when he wants a drink he
takes it, and usually it Is not at a
fountain.
Looks to Be About 60.
Clusker was born in Richmond,
Madison County, Kentucky, March 27,
1810, according to authentic records
which he willingly shows to all who
ask for proof of his remarkable age.
It is not his age, alone, that causes
wonderment, but he Is so remarkably
hale he apears to be nearer 60 than
the century mark.
“Uncle Charley,” as he Is called,
does not carry a cane, he has never
used glasses, his hand Is firm and
sure, and he hdars the lowest spoken
words.
Among his most precious memories
he cherishes that of little “Abe” Lin
coln, with whom he went gunning for
squirrels when he and Abe were boys.
Abe was a year older than Uncle
Charley, but could not bring down
the game.
"He never did learn how to shoot,”
Uncle Charley says, "and it was a
constant trial to him that I could
rest my long squtrrel-gun on the
back of a log and bring down any
thing in sight.”
Leads Enjoyable Single Life.
Speaking of the fair sex, from
liis vast opportunity tor experience.
Uncle Charley said: "I have been a
bachelor all my life. I have always
done Just what I pleased and I have
always led a peaceful and enjoyable
existence.
“I believe that 105 years is the
proper time for a man to marry, and
I am contemplating taking a wife In
1915 by way of celebrating the Pan
ama-Pacific Exposition and the open
ing of the Panama Canal.
"What kind of a girl will I marry?
Well, now you’ve got me.” The old
boy chuckled when he got around to
the ancient discussion about the Ideal
woman. He had heard the subject
discussed from every phase for the
last one hundred years.
Fought in Mexican War.
Uncle Charley was a major in the
militia before the Mexican W r ar.
When the war came he went to the
front and participated In a number
of engagements. Soon afterward he
and several companions came to Cal
ifornia, where he lias lived ever since.
Uncle Charley attributes his lon
gevity to his motto: “Never worry,
eat heartily, sleep soundly and be
happy.” He enjoys the distinction of
being the oldest Elk in the world.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND., April 26.—
Not long ago a fire horse was brought
In from the farm, a horse thirty-six
years old, that had not had a harness
on his back for eleven years. This
horse used to pull the fire chiefs
wagon. He had the faculty of get
ting under the shafts quicker than
ever any horse did that stood on four
feet.
The horse was barefooted, his
mane, tail and fetlocks grown out
long and shaggy. The firemen went
to work cleaning him with loving
caresses. The old red wagon of the
chief was brought out. The shafts
were lifted in the air with the har
ness hanging. The horse was stand
ing less than 200 feet away.
At a signal the gong was sounded,
and, like a flash of light, the old vet
eran leaped for the shafts. A fireman
snapped the harness into place. The
old fire chief watched the whole per
formance, intending to spring into the
wagon, provided the horse had not
forgotten his cue.
The horse knew how to do it; but
alas, the venerable chief, now grown
gray, merely stumbled and tumbled
forward, threw his arms around the
old horse's neck, burst into tears and
cried like a baby.

NEW YORK, April 26—The beau,
ttful hazel eyes of Mrs. Ophelia
Sehlflf, which "just would not be,

journment of her separation trial yes„
terday before Sunreme Court Justice
Giegerlch.
After she had ackntgwledged that
her shifting glances might be "an
affliction,” the Court jocularly re
marked that it would take Judicial
notice of the eyes, but would not ac
cept them as exhibits in the case.
“Isn’t tt true that your husband
has constantly found fault because
of your flirting with your eyes?"
she was asked,
“Yes, Indeed, that’s true," she ad
mitted, fixing her glance on His
Honor.
‘"Well, what’s the matter with your
eyes?”
“Really, I can’t say," she replied.
“Have you been using your eyes In
this courtroom?”
“Well, I may have; I really don't
know what they do,” she answered.
Mrs. Schlff is the young wife of
Maximillian Schlff, a Broadway mer
chant. She scorned the chance the
Court and her husband gave her to
go back to the Schlff residence and
preside over it again.
Mrs. Schlff said frankly that shs
wanted a separation from her hus
band, and had long ago told him that
If he understood the English language
he and she would have parted com
pany before they did.
Schlff complained that his sister-in-
law caused most of his trouble by
her operatic aspirations. She intro
duced into the Schlff home an “opera
coach” named Simons. When Schlff
came back from a trip through the
West he heard that Simons had been
seen In restaurants and theaters with
Mrs. Schlff. After some discussion of
the subject Schiff left his wife
“Do you still refuse to go to your
husband?” asked the Court.
“I do.” she said.

CHICAGO, April 28.—Police will not
permit the grizzly bear or the turkey
trot—but wait until they see the
Sappho, and the ace of diamonds.
Those y last two travel under the
euphonious and rather old-fashioned
name of folk dances.
Dancing masters of Chicago, hav
ing failed to standardize the tango,
have hit upon folk dancing us a
counter-irritant. They are planning
a national congress to popularize it.
Those who teach how to cavort In
a ballroom assembled the other day
and decided to fight fire with fire, or,
rather, names with names. Hence
the Sappho, the ace of diamonds, and
one other, the shoemaker's glide. By
eliminating the naughty positions—

grizzly steps—and Injecting a few
nifty swings and pretty points, the
dancing masters believe they will

SENATOR PINES FOR OLD
TIME KITCHEN CHAIRS
WASHINGTON, April 28.—Senator
Sherman, of Illinois, cannot adjust
himself to the luxuries which are sup
posed to be essential for the com
fort of a United States Senator. The
furniture is high-grade mahogany. A
flat-top desk of that wood is in the
Senator's inner sanctum. But ne
could stand the desk.
The large luxurious, upholstered
mahogany desk chair is what h«e
finds uncomfortable, and is now look
ing for one of the kitchen variety,
with wooden seat and straight bark,
the kind he used at Springfield. As
the twenty-flve-cent kind would look
out of place among the mahogany
furnishings, a small mahogany chair,
with a straight back was purchased
especially for the Illinois Senator.
