Among the jowelH lost by Mrn. Henry
It. Brady, Jr., In the robbery on Mon
day night nt her home on Olive Htreut
wits a mngnlfluont pin act with n
iat'KO Bolltalrc und nbout thirty Rmallct
diamonds. Another wan n line tur
luol.se, perfect In color nnd shape,
which was found near Alnniac-ordo,
New Mexico, and which was set In
curiously wrought old gold, specially
designed by Tlitany for this stone. In
deed, Mrs. Urady wns so unfortunate
ns to be wearing no jewelry on this
evening, having just come In from the
Country club and not having gone up
stairs before dinner. Everything, with
the exception of one valuable pin, was
stolen. This happened to bo in anoth
er place and was overlooked. Tho
loss amounts to several thousand dol
lars and is peculiarly lamented from
the fact that the jewels Included many
wedding gifts and her engagement
ring.
This is the third largo robbery with
in a year or two in that vicinity. It
will be remembered that the residence
of Mrs. William Matthews, adjoining
that of Mr. C. D. Simpson, on Olive
street, was entered and rich booty
secured in tho same fashion.
A few months ago Mrs. D. I. Tate
was robbed of a valuable casket, whose
priceless contents are the more re
gretted since therein was included
jewelled military medals belonging to
Captain Tate, whose loss Is irreparable.
The robbery was made at the home
of Mrs. Tate's father, lion. J. A.
Scranton. The residence of Colonel II.
M. Boies was also entered within a
year or two, when many jewels were
taken from the dressing table of Miss
Boles. Not one of the stolen articles
from these four beautiful homes has
ever been recovered.
The Endeavor society of the Second
Presbyterian church held a most de
lightful social in the beautiful musical
studios of Professor Chance and Mr.
iDoersam last evening. There was a
large attendance and the entertain
ment was not onlv an artistic nnw.
but was unique in the arrangement of
the programme.
The guests were received by Kny
mond Sanderson and the members ot
his committee, who constitute the so
cial committee of the .socletv. The
programme consisted of the reading of
Dr. Van Dyke's story, "The Other
Vise Man," by the pastor of the
church. Dr. Robinson, who gave a very
impressive reading of this charming
story. He was listened to very atten
tively. (Between the chapters of the
story appropriate musical selections
were given. Miss Anna Salmon and
Ilalph 'Williams sang beautiful solos
and Mr. Doersam, pianist, William Al
len, violinist, and Mr. Stanton, cornet
ist, rendered selections artistically. Re
freshments were served by Hanley and
tho entire affair was enjoyed by every
one present.
One of the most beautiful and de
lightful weddings was celebrated at

H HER POINT OF VIEW
1 WONDER if the dead miss the gen
tle word, the kindly smile we did
not give; probably not. From thn
safe calm distance whence they have
gone perhaps not only the few pleas
ant thoughts voiced grudgingly, but'
also the harMi ones, the misconcep
tions, the unctppi eolation are softened
in their nuw and wider understanding,
and they know that we wore better
beneath t'ho vain haste after triviali
ties than our words or our crude ac
tions told. Perhaps with the barriers
of tense swept away they see under
tho affectations, the little jealousies,
the tnel'less speech, the frown left by
the latest lance of care all that wo
would be if lite were less strenuous,
less caresomc, more tender. Perhaps
they know tlint the day we passed
them by with an unsmiling nod we
were, unhappy because of a new worry,
a fresh wrong, fancied or real. Per
haps they realize that' the hateful little
speech which was once repeated to
them to rankle In their memory was
said with no mallet! and from only tho
iuoxeusable whim of bolus considered
witty or original. Perhaps they know
that In our Insincerest moments wo
had struggling fuWIo. aspirations to be
sincere, to be noble, to be uverythlns
we delude our hearts Into thinking wo
aro when all the tlmn wo are not,
Tho thought Is comforting that all
these misuuderst'audlngH are blurred
out from the clearer vision of those
who have gone away forever, and yet
wo so often feel that if they could just
come back for a little how we could so
swiftly undo tho impressions of the,
years and set ourselves right' In their
sight? And yet could wo'.'
There was tho man who went away
one day and against whom we
hud hold bitterness in the past. Look
ing on his pallid face In tho majesty of
death how very small and trivial
Beemed our grievance. Just- a faint lit
tle cloud which a word might have dis
pelled. There was tho girl who was often
lonely and dlscouruged when ullvo and
wo scarcely took time to even smilo a
"good morning" when we mot, but we
sent lovely spotless roses to be luld on
her coflln.
It Is so easy to hasten pait our
friends with a nlggurdly greeting, If
wo know It was the last time wo should
ever have a chance to speak to them
we would pause a moment In our hur
rying. Pomo times the saddest thought In
our- remembrance of the dead, is not so
much for the pleasant vvord left unsaid
us for tha occasions wo havo missed
when our hearts might have been
gladdened and our lives uplifted by
thoso who have gone. Wo hasten
through lfo und llku the Mexican with
his unvarying "Mamma" we aro nl
ways saying to ourselves "tomorrow
we will havo a beautiful hour with our
friend," but the morrow never conies
and the day does when we must 'per
force snatch un hour to listen to the
burial service when our friend rises no
more to greet or gladden us,
Birthdays are such vnrluute affairs
variable In tho emotions they crcatj
of pleasure or pit tit i varlnble In the
celebrations or the neglect! ' viirlablo
In their welcome.
Ah the little mnld sang
t vvl.li nml 1 wish tli.it Hie sului; would go
(niter,
Xor loli-t iiuminrr Mile o Lite!
And 1 could Ricivv- on like tin- lo--lovo .itnl
niter,

And the sngo wrote: "Wo never
count n man's years until ho has noth
ing elso to count." So between tho
dnys of childhood and old age runs ull
the gamut of hope and desire nnd re
gret for the birthdays that have been
or are to come.
It Is the most delicately sweet com
pliment to havo one's birthdays j;e
n'embered and eolebrated, to thus hi
made to feel "They aro glad I was
barn Into the world, they nre glnd t
am nllve," and thus the delightful for
eign custom of making the blrthdny
of each member of the family mem
orable because of some pretty fete,
Is one that might with pleasure be
adopted In America.
To be sure there is likely to come a
time in the lives of most women nt
least when they would be glad to
have their birthdays pass unnoticed,
and yet for none of us will time stand
still, whether or not wo neknowledgo
the calendar dates.
The charming custom which some
people have of keeping a record of tho
birthdays of their friends is frequently
the source of much surpi ised pleasure.
I remember that this was one of the
many ways of a gracious lady whose
Individuality so touched every point in
her sphere of home and social life that
those little habits of hers reached tho
dignity of accomplishments nnd had In
them the fine courtliness of old time
days, blent with an Individuality dis
tinct and unmistakable.
She remembered birthdays In a fash
ion of her own, perhaps with a few
flowers, 11 characteristic book for a
book-loving friend, a carriage ride for
the old lady unable often to enjoy
such luxury; a dainty bit of china for
the young housewife or perhaps a note,
graceful and beautiful in Its sentiment
for she had that neglected gift ot
writing notes which were like the wel
come visit of roses in the house.
Last Sunday she had a birthday
who knows whether it was the happi
est of her life? Certain it is that she
was happy, surrounded by her do ir
ones and the loving remembrances of
those who were glad to send felicita
tions for the coming years which
promised to be many. Monday she
began the new year of her existence In
another world and left desolate con
sternation in tho home of wr.i-jh she
was the soul and the inspiration. Yes
terday we saw her go out of the state
ly 100ms for the last time and half
stunned in thought could only dimly
rellect on the mystery that death
should thus swiftly blight the. uipeib
vitality, the splendid intellect and this
kindest of hearts. Saucy Bess.

THE OAME OF CHESS.
Its Supposed Origin nnd Some of Its
Famous Votaries,
1'ioni ll.e London I'tprcw.
"There la nothing new tinder the
sun" 'Is a remark which we are con
stantly making; nnd this Is rsiicetnlly
true uf the means whereby man seeks
to amuse himself.
Among tho most nntltiuated of games
Is chess, which the oldest Persian and
Arable authorities state to be of In
dian origin. We find the game specif
ically referred to In Sanskrit literature
two hundred years before the birth of
Christ.
Knthuslasts today might tlosni the
methods then In vogue somewhat prim
itive, the board usually called an
"eight square" to distinguish It from
the board on which purchlsl or back
gammon was played. Jit tho earliest
known attempt at romance In Indian
literature, the "Ilarsaearlta" there Is
a punning passage which reads: "Un
der this monarch only bees
(Iiinrrcl In collecting dews (dues); thu
only feet cut off are those In meter;
only chess boards teach the position of
the four members." That was writ
ten In the first half of the seventh cen
tury. There Is a Persian tradition to the
effect that an Indian sovereign sent a
Persian monnrch the game of chess
between Ml and S79 A. D. By way of
returning the compliment the latter
king sent the former the game of war
or backgammon.
The game was Introduced to the
llowery land as comparatively recently
as the sixth century (A. D.). It was
probably first known In Spain In the
tenth century, for In the eleventh we
already find It a popular amusement.
At the beginning of the twelfth, It
begun to be known In this country, us
well as In Prance and Germany; and
It unfortunately has to be recorded
that at the elosse of the century It
had become a favorite gambling game
all over the continent of Europe.
JIany men who have figured promi
nently In tlte pages of the world's his
tory were passionately fond of the
game. Perhaps tho most noted exam
ple of tilt-- was f-'ouls XIII, who,
though ho hated ((iiiitpj of chance so
much that he would not allow thorn
to Jie played at hi.- court, was never
theless so amazingly keen on ches-s
that he played even while riding in
his carriage.
It is Interesting to record In this
connection that caeli man was pro
vided with ii pin at its foot, which,
being stuck into a padded chess board,
resisted the joltings of the royal ve
sicle. Imagine the Prince of Wales
driving along Piccadilly absorbed In
a game of chess while her majesty's
loyal subjects were eagerly waiting
to bow to his royal highness.
John Frederick, elector of Hanover,
proved that the ruling passion was
strong In death. Ho had been made
prisoner in 1547 by Charles A', and
was playing chess with Ernest of
Brunswick, his fellow captive, when
he got the news that ho was con
demned to die.
He merely made 'i few remarks on
the irregularity of the emperor's pro
ceedings and coolly went on with his
game. On winning it, be expressed
his keen satisfaction; then ho betook
himself to the religious exercises be
fitting one in his unenviable situation.
To such a man the word chess was
like a charm under whose potent spell
he labored.

Captain Blake, of Steamer McAlester.
Captain I.,. L. Wake, of the steamer
MeAIester, is one of the best known
captains on Chesapeake Bay. The
steamer McAlester is the only boat
that is allowed by congress to stop at
Jit. Vernon, the birthplace of George
Washington. For twenty years Cap
tain Blake has been making a dally
trip to Mt. Vernon.
In a lecent letter written from
Washington, X). C' to The Peruna
.Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio, he says:
"I can cheerfully recom
mend your Peruna for
rheumatism, and it is also a
very substantial catarrh
remedy."
Captain L L Blake.
Much that is called rheumatism Is in
reality myalgia. Myalgia is an affec
tion of the larger muscles, especially
tliosa In the small of the back, produc
ing pain, stiffness, cramp, and fre
quently distress en the slightest
movement. When the muscles of
the small of the back are in
volved it is generally called lumbago.
If the large muscles of. the, .arras or
legs are the seat of the affection it is
generally then called muscular rheu
matism. They are ono and all the
same atfection, however.
The month of October brings cool
days and cooler nights. The daily per
spiration of the hot months is gradu
ally and sometimes suddenly discon
tinued. Tills produces an acid condi
tion of the blood which the kidneys
arc not always able to correct. r?y
stlimilating the mucous membranes of
the whole body, the accumulations of
acid in ihe blood can lie drained away.
This' could bo done with Peruna taken
according to the directions on the bot
tle. AMUSEMENTS.

Mrs. I,. W. Monsell, .197 Nostrum!
avenue, Brooklyn, N. V., writes:
"For ten years I have been a suf
ferer from rheumatism, having had lu
that lime inflammatory rheumatism,
being laid up for weeks. I also had
rheumatic fever and lujip fever, drag
ging along miserable and 111. I often
felt some other ohronic disease was
coming on mo, but I did not seem to
reallr.e that it was catnrrh. I had a
great deal of lietulaache, and every lit
tle cold caused me to raise no lend, of
mucus.
"About clglit months ago I read of
Peruna. It seemed so logical to 1119
that T wioto to Dr. Hartman. and be
gan to take Peruna. Before I had fin
ished tho second bottle my terriblo
headaches were nearly cured, and t
had such sweet relief. I had suffered
so much, six mornings out of seven
getting up with a terrible headache.
I can't bogln to mention the other
benefits I have received. In all I took
five bottles, and I feel like a new crea
ture. "Last winter I had the grippe, and
also a terrible cough, but Peruna
made short work of that. For a tonic
it can't be beaten. Catarrh, is the
trouble with so many of us and we
do not realize it."
People who have been long subject
to catarrh are almost sure to have a
return of their bad symptoms at the
approach of cold weather. October Ifi
a good time to fortify the system:
against this liability. This climate i-t
especially productive of catarrh, be
cau; of its extremes of cold and hob
weather. No sooner do we escape
from hot weather than we find our
selves in the midst of wintry weather.
Ore bottle of Peruna now may pre
vent a catarrhal affection Inter on
that would take many bottles to cure.
Captain M. O. Yarnoll. Post Com
mander William Downs Post, No. iS,
G. A. It., writes from 2322 I,incoln
street, N. K.,
Washington, D.
C. as follows
concerning Peru
na as' a catarrh'
cure. He says:
"Your medi
cine, Peruna, I
believe to be the
best medicine for
catarrh on tha
market. I huvi
taken only a
small amount,
and can see very
beneficial results.
I shall continue its use and recommend
it to my friends and comrades for all
catarrhal affections."
