Ctnli U Chadwlck made of th. vaat auma of money ah. borrowed In th. last dosen or mor. years hui caused much comment throughout tb. coun try, and although ah. la known to have been lavish In her expenditure. It I. now and always as been the belief among her frlenda here that ahe has one or two million dollars hldJen some where. All of her victims are by no mean, known. A former county official who ha. known th. woman for year said today: "I candidly believe that the woman has, through her friend, al ocal banker, who I. In on th deal, a million and perhaps two or more planteJ outside of Clever land." A woman, who for many years was i kidr In the most .elect and exclusive society of the city, today toij how Mr. Chadwlck tried to gain admittance to th. "400" circle. "Dr. Chadwlck". first wife waa aris tocratic and refined," she said, "one of the very sweetest women In the world, but his second wife, Cassl L. Chad wlck, was Impossible. She was not only unrefined In deportment, but her taste In dress and all that was execra ble, hideous, In fact, and her one aim was to break Into society. She swore she would succeed In this aim if It cost her every dollar she possessed, but I need not say she failed. "She sought to daxzle people with a display of costly dresses and magnifi cent Jewels and even carried this as tounding but laughable display Into the sacred precincts of our fashionable Methodist church out here, which the doctor and his family ad long attend ed. At the morning service sh. would sweep Into church biasing with Jewels and clad in an Imported gown of great value, with millinery to match, and at the evening service she would sail down the alHle In another magnificent French creation and with new Jewels, Sunday after Sunday this happened with ever changing modes, and on one occasion, It Is said, disturbed the so lemnity of the house of worship by causing a titter to run through It when she entered the church scintillating with precious stones and resnendent In a semi-decollete costume made by Worth of Paris." It was learned today that during the last Illness of Dr. Chadwick's aged and wealthy mother and his slBter the doc tor acted as their physician and Mrs. Chadwlck as their nurse. Botii pa tients died and their deaths caused much talk at the time. MENTAL PROPS. Vtrioti ThUga That Glra Us Oaa deaoe la OuraelTca. We each have the need of our men tal "prop." Oue woman tells me that when sue wishes to give decided orders to her coos: she always puts on her bat and gloves, then, as she Boats Into the kitchen surrounded by a cloud of dignity and courage, she feela equal to the occasion. Good and well fitting clothes are props to us all and bring about a cer tain confidence In ourselves, a sort of mental pat you on the back, which says, "Brace up, old boy; the shell Is perfect; let's hear from the kernel." To the little school miss on the day of the entertaliuneut what a prop Is the bristling blue sash. The doctor depends much upon his gloves. He can be busy with them when vital or difficult questions are asked. They are a sort of moral safety valve. For the bashful boy who Is deprived In the hall of hat and gloves before en tering the room filled with people If some good fairy would only band blm a book to occupy his hands so he need only look after his feet what a prop It would be to him! A clergynmn'a prop lies In well fit ting vestments. As for the writer of this article I can speak with the authority of most Intimate acquaintance she must have her hair arrnnned lu the way she af fects It ami her shoos on to cope with life's emergencies. She fluds the wag gish old world rather a Jolly place and loves to watch frail humanity lean ing gently upon their "mental props," while they are happily quite uncon scious of her scrutiny, Jeannette Young In Critic. the robin; kat He I. aa Adaptive Blra, Doeaat Mix Mortar. The robin Is a very adaptive bird cer tiilQlv. It sdlusts Itself readily to new conditions, but It falls far abort of the Intelligence that la often ascribed to it. '4 dim there are persona who seem to believe that when mud la scare the robin will bring water In Its beak to th. dust of the road and so make the mortar that It needs. This notion la, of course, absurd. Uow could the robin know that water and dust will make mud? This knowledge Is th. result of reflection and experiment and la not within th. reach of an anlmaL More than that, If the robin could find th. water be could certainly find tb mod somewhere, I bar. known them to use a substitute for mud famished by th cows. Another equally absurd claim for the robin come from a correspondent. A robin bad her nest In a tree under his chamber window In such a position that be could see all that happened In the nest II says that when th young robins were nearly grown he saw th mother bird tak them, on by one, by the nap of the neck and bold them out over the rim of th nest to teach them to use their wings! I suppose "our modern school of nature study" would accept this statement without questloa It la such preposterous natural history as this that furnishes the stock In trade of this "school." Some persona deceive themselves In what they think they see, and not a few, I am convinced, are deliberate falsifiers. John Burroughs In Outing. Moaiaea Jea-rca. While there are no black races In digenous outside of the tropics, the leading American, English, French and Italian ethnologists boldly teach that th. white race of the world are lm ply modified negroee and that the An- glo-8aiQu. and other white races are of an African oiigtn, having crossed over Into Europe daring tb neolithic age. Their habits, character of food, avironnwnta, attitude of their homes, climate, occupation, their greater d ta ts nee from the ray of the tropical sun, are some of the ethnological fac tors which are believed to have bleach ed their skins and made them white. Qaalat 6rayard laaerlatfaa. The London News commends to any body engaged In collecting quaint graveyard inscriptions the following one sent by a rambling correspondent who discovered It near Celbrldg.

His name Is not Put. but he Is elvcn that nickname bv all the Dassenaers on the owl car, of which he Is con ductor.

Such was the experience of Mrs. S. H. Newson, Decatur, Ala. "For three years" she writes, "I endured Insuff erable pain from Indigestion, stomach and bowel trouble. Death seemed In evitable when doctors and all remedies failed. At length I was Induced to try Electrlo Bitters and the result was marvelous. I Improved at one. and now rm completely reoovered.
