A Well-placed Woman.
Miss Janet Jennings , the Red Cross
nurse who accompanied the wounded
on the terrible trip of the "Seneca" from
Siboney , has a name which , if not quite
as musical as that of Florence Nightin
gale , may yet be trusted to haunt history
as long. Single-handed , in that pesti
lential ship , she lifted up a hundred men
from death. Those who stood about and
witnessed the tirelessness of her unceas
ing efforts have expressed the hope that
she shall obtain a fitting reward. But
what ? There is the Golden Rose , a dec
oration occasionally distributed among
virtuous queens. It is not good enough.
There are the gold eagles of a popular
subscription. They are beneath her.
There is lucre , there is love. Of the one
she has no need , the other she exhales.
What , then , is the fitting reward which
those who stood about hope she may
obtain ? The consciousness of duty per
formed ? It is hers. Fame ? She has
achieved it. The applause of empty
hands ? Say rather the benedictions of
the devout. This gentlewomen is not a
heroine , she is a saint. Collier's Weekly.
One Minute Cough Cure surprises people
ple by its quick cures and children may
take it in large quantities without the
least danger. It has won for itself the
best reputation of any preparation used

Frown Upon the Scheme.
The city police have not looked upon
the idea with complacency and favor ,
and the musical fad attempted by some
of the bicycle riders has been aban
doned. The musical sounds were pro
duced by stringing rubber bands from
tub to tub of the frame of the bicycle ,
and when considerale momentum was
attained the elastics gave off a not un
pleasant musical sound , but one perhaps
calculated to scare horses.
