Discussing his recovery from serious illness, he said: gardon has been well filled each night ana matinee that Mrs. Thaw has been there and the advance sain nf .not has beon large, but the verdict has not yet been rendored. The managers have not made up their minds whether it is the dancing of Evelyn Nesbit that is her drawing card, or the fact that she is Mrs. Harry Kendall Thaw, cen tral figure in one of tha most sensa tional of tragedies. The Thaw ease is an old ono, that might be regarded as completely threshed out, and it is a problem whe ther it is still enough in the minds of wostornors to carry Mrs. Thaw over the various vaudeville circuits outside New York. There are managers still in business on Broadway who remem ber how Nan Patterson, the Ploradnra Soxtette girl who figured in the Caosar loung murdor, was hissed out of Phil adelphia when she attempted to re turn to the stage. Mrs. Thaw returned to the stairo in London recently doing hor dance with Uiltord at the Hippodrome in a revue called "Hullo Ragtime." She scored a certain measure of success and got hor pictures in all the London theat rical journals. Her season was short and immediately she was booked by tne ilammersteins for a Now York run.

VAIL, PRESIDENT j 1 let) 1 M WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY "Ten years ago another man and I fell from a scaffold. The other man was killed. You all know who he was. I was unconscious for several days, and from that time until recently I slept only a few hours each night and when awake every little thing worried me, and this I could see was driving me mad. I did not want to be in other's company, and I am Bure if I had not gotton relief soon it would have been necessary to send me to the asylum. Here I would like to thank Sam Ames for his persistence and encouraging me to take osteopathic treatment of Dr. Hcisely, of Salem. I was like manv others; I had no use for a rubbing doc- that he could help my case and thouuht T would take a few treatments, and then Sam would bo satisfied. I had tried a great number of doctors and some specialists. Dr. Heislov located the trouble in my neck, and said I was as stiff nocked as an Isarealite. and that it would take some time to limber it up, and then it would bo pos sible to adjust the trouble which caused congestion of the brain. "Hero it took the constant effort of my family and friends for over a month to persuado to continue with the treat ments, I felt I was being duped and was only throwing away monoy, but now I feel as though I was boing made over. I have no more fear of going to the mad houso. I can sleep much bet ter and enjoy the company of my fam ily and friends, and can reallv eniov life again, which I never expected to do."

A young man employed in ono nf tne many places which contribute to the welfare of the public, in ono of the greatest now railroad stations in the United States, was asked by a pat ron of his department whether certain trains went from the upper or lowor level. Ho answered bnnnuoly that he did not know; that she could fiud out by going to the inquiry bureau on the floor above. His department was scnarato from that, he said. The patron turned and found nn official within a few feet of tho young man who indicated tho way. "If I answored all the auostions asked me in a day," the young man said, "I would have no time tn nttiiwl to my own business," lint the num Inn I Ink mi mnrn tim and breath nad energy in boing dis agreeable than ho would have required in obtaining Information about all the trains in the station. There are two levels in that . tion, the upper and the lower. The trains inquired about are an important lino, and almost any youth of ordinary intellect, or less than or dinary, would naturally learn in a fow days' time from which lovol tlinv werA startod, especially if his business was in sight of those trains. Not to possess such inforiiinHnn In his position betokoned a lack of ob servation aud Intorest in occurrences continually taking place around him that bespeaks failuro for the voiino man in anything ho undertakes; and, ir he know and refused the informa tion becauso ho did not like to hn questioned on subjects not pertaining to nis business, then his disposition s ono to attract failure aud not sue cess. It took many words for him to toll tho lady that ho did not know and that, it was not his businoss to know what she wished to know. It would have required just two words to an swer hor question had he known 'upper level" or "lower lover ': and with a smile added, the ladv would have gone her way, thinking what a pleasant youth he was, instead of her thinking what she did about him. In ten years' time this youth will be a man in his full primes Bome- whoro in his thirties and he will be wondering why he has not got on in tne world; and he will say ho has had no "influence," no "null" and that othors have been advanced over him through "favoritism," and he will make an hundred excuses for bis fail ure to arrive, when the real fault will lie entirely with himself. The work this youth was doinir re quired no great concentration. He was not absorbed in some difficult mathematical problom, and ho had a great many momouts when he was do ing nothing at all save waiting for peo ple to sorve. Therefore, ho had no excuse for not using his eyes and ears to Icarn a small yet important fact about the big station; and ho had no oxcuse for not imparting the informa tion askod save a lack of dovelopmont of kindness and courtesy. No mat tor what may bo one's posi tion in life, from the most monial to the most lofty ilaco. kindness and conrtOHy are most valuable assets for human beings to possess. Thoy are lireat factors in success Observation is another factor; and the habit of using odd. unocouDled ma. meuts in learning somothing that will ue or value to one's self or othors la tor that, too, is a habit which leads to the road of success. It is a bettor habit than that of watching the clock for fear of work. ing five minutes over time. And still another habit la of value ou that road the habit of smil- ng and speaking in an agreeable tone of voice in the small daily occurrences of life. Each one of us is subject fo annoy ances by having people ask Questions which it is not our province to answer, but when we fall to give the Informa tion dissirod, we can iriva something better oftimes n the bestownl of a. pleasant look and manner.
