CHAPTER I.
Li
| 1 record ones hlldhood, that p -
riod of life is the most elusive.
I lived at Tarentum, on the .\n»•-
ghany R’.vtr, j u-t outside Pittstburg.
My father w.«.« a lawyer. “Win” N*•«- I
bit wa« resp« < ted from nn» *»nd of th* i
ountry to the other, and had a repu
tation whi< h extended beyond th*
line of local celebrity. A charming,
genial man, I have only the most
tender memories of him. for he di *d
when I was 10. and that is an ax-t
when a child begins to form the most
rus.ate impressions of those she has
marked clown for hero worship.
My childhood was the happiest time
of my life. That is the Impression 1
have now. I know that I was a tom
boy, very keen on prize Aphis (of al’ ■
things in the world), and delighted in
promoting combats in secluded spots ■
between children who were
beautiful to me. but who. in the ey s
of my outraged parents, were the
most impossible playmates.
My mother is one of the sweetest
women I have ever met. Artistic to
her finger tips, her home has ever
been an harmonious and beautiful
thing.
♦ • •
I do not know exactly in what posi
tion my father left her, but my recol
lection is that my mother had to pay
frequent visits to court on account of
my father’s affairs.
At first, as far as 1 remember, we
seemed to be In some prosperity, but
afterward there was a great deal <f
worry. Whatever money my mother
had was gone, and It was necessary '
in ■ j’SfrsW 'jx
for us to rent a few rooms 1n the
house to outsiders. • • •
Mother had nude up her mind that
she would leave Pittsburg and go to
Philadelphia. She wag very artistic.
•nd she hoped to get a position ns a
designer. We were sent to an aunt,
and afterward to a family which mv
mother*had known In Pittsburg.
T was between 13 and 14 at the
time. Just old enough to take an in
telligent Interest In my parent’s af
fairs. I do not remember exactly what
idea I had as to our future when 1
went to Philadelphia. • • •
Tt was there I met Mrs. Dara ?h,
who was an artist. She was attracted
by my faoe, and asked nv If I would
ait as a model for her Here, then,
began the great education, an educa
tion the fruit of which was to serva
me In such good stead tn later years.
Other artists would dron into Jie
studio on Chestnut street, and one
woman who came was very anxious
that T should sit for her.
Evelyn Thaw’s story of her life, of
which the foregoing is the beginning,
will appear in the Magazine Section

markable autobiographv of one of the

Equipment Make Her Lot Far
Happier One.
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 20. on the
‘ primitive farm the convenience and
j welfare of the housewife is the last
to receive consideration. The farmer
builds a big barn and a small shack
f<»r a house. The well, which is the
only source of water for both, is
sunk near the barn The distance the
beasts have to go for water is meas
ured in feet, while the distance th<
wife carries the house supply in a
bucket is measured by rods.
It's the exemplification of the rule
of the savage and the Indian:
‘‘Let the women do the work.”
One of the purposes of the third
annual conference of the Bankers’
t’ommittoe on Agricultural Develop
ment and Education, held here re
cently. was to Change that condition
Later the more progressive farm
ers sank the well near the house, in
stalling a windmill or a gasoline
pump. Pipes were laid from the w’ell
to the tank at the barn. The house
wife didn't have to go so far for the
water, but she still had tn carry it
into the house in a bucket. She
lifted it to the shelf; lifted it from
the bucket by clipper into the dish
pan: lifted it from the dishpan to the
refuse bucket; then liftcwl It again to
empty it at the back door.
The modern idea is to sink the well
and Install the pump or mill so
house will be between them and the
barn. Then direct the pipe to the
barn, which* has a small elevated
tank. In that way the housewife has
only to turn a faucet for the water

supply. The installation of a drain
in the house will relieve her us all the
lifting of water.
And that ail means relief to the
drudgery of the farmer’s wife.
It’s through the farm expert, or the
county agent, as he is called in many
States, that the improving of living
conditions on the farm is expected.
He is to be the farmer s business
agent. He is to spread the gospel of
improved living conditions as well as
better crops.

Two Patients in the Philippine
Islands Recover From Most
Dreaded of Diseases.
ASHIXCrTOX. Sept. 20.—An ap
| parent cure for leprosy has been*
; found by surgeons of the Public I
■ Health Service at the leper colony in i
j the Philippines—in fact, so much ot 1
I a cure that two patients who showed ’
: distinct signs of leprosy when they
|u»Te admitted to the institution have
. been discharged at cured. However.
■ there seems to be uncertainty as to
just which of two treatments effected ;
the cure—a vaccine treatment or •
< hauimugra oil taken by mouth and
hyj>oderrnleally.
The patients who were discharged
were given both treatments, but there
are said now to be in the hospital a
number of other cases which have
shown ’’negative” for the past twen- I
ty-two months, and these received !
only chaulmugra oil treatment.
Surgeon Victor G. Heiser, of the
Public Health Service, chief quaran
tine officer and director of health of
rhe Philippine Islands, in rej>orting on
the two cases which were discharger!
says:
"Two patients who had been con-
I fined to the San Lazaro Leper Hos
* pital on account of leprosy, have been
| pronounced apparently cured and dis
charged from that institution on pro
bation.
"The first case was that of a male
Filipino, aged 27. who was admitted
to the San Lazaro Lepe: Hospital.
Manila, Maj’ 29, 1909. On admission
the case clinically showed thickened
reddish spots on the nose and thick
ening and discoloration of the lobe .
of the right ear. He received vac-
! cine treatment at intervals, beginning ■
iin August, 1909, but at the expiration
of one year no change was noted in
his condition. From September, 1910,
to'November, 1910, crude chaulmugra
oil was given by mouth in increasing ,
doses.
"The rase showed evidences of im
provement. November 10. 1910, chaul
mugra oil, combined with oil of cam
phor and resorcin, was given hypo
dermically. By May 6, 1911, the le
sions above described had disappear
ed and leprosy bacilli were not found
in repeated microscopical examlna- .
tions.
"On June 11. 1913, a most careful
clinical and microscopical examina
tion was made of the patients, which
resulted negatively for leprosy, and .
as *he patient had now been appar- ,
ently cured for a period of over two ‘
years, he was discharged on proba
tion. j
"The other case was that of a ,
Filipino woman, .aged 22. who was ,
admitted to San 1-azaro Leper Hos
pital, Manila. January 7, 1910. Clin- ‘
ically this patient presented a suf
fused countenance, due to generalized
infiltration.
"Upon fidmission this patient was
placed upon a vaccine treatment for
a period of five months, but at the .
♦•n< of tlie first month after her ad
mission crude chaulmugra oil by
mouth was given in addition to the
vaccine.
"After the second month the pa
| tient began to improve rapidly, and
l on May 6. 1911, leprosy bacilli could
not be found on microscopical ex
amination." j

On the same page, however, is the
reflection that "observant travelers

finally rejoices. "Physicians have

: Boston Man Enters First Claim
Ever Known to Courts of the
EojjTON, Sept. 20.—Broken teeth,
. attack? with utensils ranging from
i rolling pins to hot flatirons, poison
! threats and a variety of other com
; plaints were embodied in the suit for
* divorce, with alimony, fiied yesterday
by Edward A. Blnkeney, against his
wife. Mary A. Blakeney, of Ran
dolph.
Mr Blakeney s suit, unique alone
in the fact that for the first time in
the history of Massachusetts courts
a man sought alimony from his wife,
proved the more unusual because of
the specifications which he detailed
to support his charge of cruelty on
the part of Mrs. Blakeney.
To secure his claim for alimony,
Mr. Blakeney also places an attach
ment for $2,000 on the Blakeney
house in Randolph, w’hich he charges
was bought with his money and
merely placed in her name.
Though Mr. and Mrs. Blakeney
were married in March of 1883. her
"acts of cruelty" did not begin until
1900, according to his bill of specifi
cations. Hi? charges indicate that
then they began in earnest.
In Randolph, he alleges, she threw
a carving knife at him with such
force that its handle was broken
when it hit the wall behind him.
Later in the same summer, he says,
she struck him in the face and forced
him to sleep in the barn.
Less than a year later, he claims,
she aimed a hot flatiron at his face,
which struck his shoulder and
scorched his clothing. The next
event was at supper time, when she
chose a saucer, which again missed
hi« face, but cut his ear as it whis
tled by.
AX hen a building on the estate on
which they were living was destroyed
by tire, he says, she accused him of
burning it, and later abused their
son, and insisted that he "lick" him,
so that they had to leave
Early in 1903, he sets forth, she
threw a bottle containing a "very
heavy substance" at him, but on this
occasion also her aim was poor. She
had better luck, bo claim**, with a
beefsteak be brought home, for it hit
him in the neck.

He said William Randolph Hear-t

fact between Mr. Hearst and Hall

will probably produce two books a

a long time before emulating it at
that figure.

England. A play that has to do With

"It will come to pass.” said Mr.
Spurgeon, "that this country will
have to have a Federal commission to

caused a striking decrease in dis
