TOE OMAHA RtTNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 29. 1900. tfMSENSE LADY TELLS ALL Carolyn Weill Jinglei ai Fait M She Can Talk. ' HOW IIER WORK IS ACHIEVED wh Who" and Two Other Bnoki, a Pen anal mm Aapleat Desk Are . Her Stork la Trode. NEW TORK. Nov. 77. - "There' my Who Who.' " said Carolyn Welti. Jingler maxima, "and there's my "Thesaurus of English Word and Phrases,' and there'! my Vocanu:ary of English, Rhyme.' He hold my mock In trade! All the essentials for ceaseless verse production." and she smilingly waved her hand at the valuable trio. "Of couise." milled beck the vUltor, "there' no need for such a mere trifle a. talent and brains." "He; pardon, I'm deaf,' laid the rhymster he purn more aerioui Bound ing appellatlone but her- eyei twinkled. It 1 noticeable that her vaunted deafness make Kit f evident only at convenient time. "yes," she continued rapidly, "herein all ate ccntalned. And If you chooee you' can omit the 'Who'i Who.' Herein are odes and rondeaux and ballade and dlxaln unit hymn and epigrams and chansons ond past ou relies and" "Help!" pleaded the visitor. "It's really o," went on the versifier It Ik rather , difficult to find a varied as sortment ot names that will meet with the approval of her who will not be a poet. "It's really so that these hooks contain all the requisite for versifying save a little sense." "I have a lit tie sense," said the visitor hopefully. "Perhaps I can become a Jingler. What do I do first? What do ivou do?" T "What do I do? Why, I don't do any thing. It doe Itself when it doesn't do me." "Ves, but how do you begin? Do you think out what you arc going to say?" i "Oh, no. I sit down and take my pen tn hand, and then I guide It. That's all I do. Jut physical guidance. We have a laundress who Iron splendidly. She deserve no particular credit because her hand has the knack of guiding the flat. (lron. Now I guide th pen," and she smiled as If the whole process must be perfectly clear. "I used to dictate to a typewriter lady," she continued, "who could writ as fast as I could talk" certainly a tribute to the typewriter lady's speed "but she be came 111 and now I write with a pen. And I can write as fast as she typed." But the visitor did not yet, despite Its al leged simplicity, feel quite qualified to versify, "What Inspire you? Surely there must be an inspiration." "Oh, yes. My pen Inspires me. That's all. I JiiBt take tip my pen and then I begin. It Is all simple, you see." The visitor nodded in vaguely disturbed agreement. 'Terhaps," admitted Carolyn Wells, "my desk does inspire me some. It's an old Uerman desk over S50 years old. It wa 2j0 years old when I bought It." "But" "Old furniture age very rapidly, you know. Oh, I forgot to how you my note book. That really I very Important al- nnmt mm m.ll. mn mm TKa Y'a,.-K..I -n Rhyme.' Just see this page of titles. Aren't they good? and Just waiting to be used. No, you mustn't ' take any of them down. They are too good to. give away. And look at this page of phrases. 'Poem every child ought not to know' Isn't that lovely? Oh, J don't know how I got It or when or how I'll use It, but Its time will ccme. And here this 'violent essence' doesn't mean a thing resting there but its time will come, too." The visitor's eye was peering over to the next page. "Those look like skeleton out lines. Do you make out skeleton outlines?" ,1 "Yes, skeleton outlines come in handy Vt times, too. The notebook and the 'Who' Who,' etc., ind the pen principally the pen and there you are, equipped for versi fying." "And some sense," prompted the visitor, who then asked Mis Wells If she wouldn't take her pen in hand and show how the Inspiration works by writing a sonnet. "A sonnet! Nonsense! Why not a ses tlnar replied the Jlngler. "I'll write you a limerick, the true classical form as has beep proved over and over. Sonnet! Non aetJe!" and she seised her pen and more quickly than can be told the limerick stood forth nonsense, delightful nonsense. "It looks very easy," aald the visitor. "I surely ought to be able to do It." . "Try It. It does itself In time. Oelett TOurgesa once told me that no woman could writs the sort of nonsense he would pub I llsh." and she smiled In a way that might Indicate a later change of mind on the part of the purple cow' creator. In the fourteen year Carolyn Well ha been filling the columns of weeklies and monthlies with hor Jingles and Jest he has come to be accepted as an authority 1 on nonsense, together with her fellow workers and good friend, Oelett Burgess and Oliver Herford. Her "tutor who tooted the flute" I world famous. She take an honest pride In the nature of her muse. She sings: I'm nue poet, in a sense. Hut Just a rhymer, like, by chance. An hae to learning nae pretence. Vet, what the matter? Whene'er my muse does on m glance, I Jingle at her I But the Jingle are not able to keep Mis Wells busy. Sketches, defective stories and books for girts are always on hand. She ha no lees than three series of book running now and an Installment of a 'Tatty'4 book that creation so dear to -r.fol;lils from coast to coast lay In a five-pound candy box In which Is was to Journey to the publisher. "Why a five-pound candy box?" was asked. , "It's my standard of measure," was the response. "When I use up a pint bottle of Ink and consume five pounds of candy I know the box Is ready to be sent to the publisher otherwise filled. An infallible mechanism almost." It Is hard to tell whether Miss Wells Is fonder of her rapidly aging desk or her waste paper chute her own Invention. The chut it a hole cut In the floor, giving vent to a broker' ticket basket which con tinues down bottomless to a Janitor below. In the book lined study of her Rahway home Miss Wells spends the morning hours from o'clock to 1 furnishing guid ance to her pen. She looks out of win dows on Jersey trees and Jersey grass. "How lovely!" sentlmentallxt s the visitor, "not to have to put on one's hat and gloves and take a special trip to s e the grass and trees In the park." "But I," mourned the rhymster, "have to put on my hat and gloves and take a special trip to see the asphalt and sky scraper; so we are even." Such Is the woman of whom a Boston paper once said, "The radiation of happi ness Is less an art than an exact science." She plays at her work and avows that she works for money and not for srt for art's sake. Itut she docs not want her pub lishers to know her work Is play. LITTLE WARDS OF THE CITY RandalTa Island Colony of Afflicted Children la (iloomy Place tn fee. Of the 1,300 Inmates of the New York City Children's hospital and schools on Randall's Island, one-half are feeble mil ded while the other half have normal minds tn feeble bodies. Most of them are under II, and all are under IS. The colony la In charge of Mrs. Mary C. Dunphy, the superintendent, and It pre sents sights both curious and pathetic to the visitor. In showing Charities Commissioner Heb berd and a. party about the other day, Mr. Drnphy led the way into a .classroom where fifty feeble minded children squat tel on the floor around ths teacher, be ing trained in singing a humming song. One of them named Jessie was asked to sing a song, which she did after hearing a few Introductory chords. From the throat of this child a voice of unusal beauty Issued. As soon as the song was ended Jessie returned to her former state ot apparent unconsciousness of her sur roundings. That la a characteristic of these feeble minded children. Their actions resemble those of machines. Birds, daisies and other objects. Including a Warship, were being drawn on a blackboard by two dozen feeble minded children in another room. Many of them could not pronounce properly the name of the drawn objects but showed skill with the crayons. When the visitors left the classroom they heard the aound of music on the lawn, where the Island's brass band of twenty-eight pieces, under the Instruction of Leader Schmolk, was at attention. It was re markable how the feeble minded boys fol lowed so accurately the leadership of the bandmaster. There Is a base ball team made up of feeble minded youths, as well as a basket ball team. ' M t--.-, .. Another large room contained about two score boys and girls who were making garments for the Inmates. Here last year over 1,609 piece of girls' clothing, 1,800 piece of boys' clothing, 200 garment for men and alxty-two for women were made. Beside thin 41,000 miscellaneous artloles and 6,000 piece of bedding wera repaired. Th shoe repair shop report show that almost 13,000 pair of shoes were half oled and heeled. The inmate also made repairs to fur niture. Thousand of plants wera cut and propagated during the year and In addi tion the member! of the colony raised vegetable! for use In the Institution and several ton of hay and fodder for the horse on the Island. One hundred thousand yards of material 1 used here every year, and a an ex ample of the way the feeble minded chil dren work it may be aald that a pencil or chalk line is drawn where a seam Is wanted In a garment and the children follow it accurately. Two overseers are the only one In the aewlng rooid who possess normal minds. The crippled children used to haveto walk to school. Commissioner Hebberd ha earned their gratitude by supplying them with a donkey and cart. They ride In the cart to sqhool and make a pet of th donkey. .Other changes brought about by the com missioner concern the flower garden and fiult patches, where the children spend a good deal of time In the summer. A False Alarm. The boy was busy down cellar fixing his sled when his mother called: "Reggie." "l'm-ni." "Regglt!" "What?" "Regglt!" "Well!" "Reginald!" "T-es.' "Reg-l-nald!" "Yea. ma." "Why couldn't you answer me properly the first time?" -' "What do you wan?" "Nothing now; but the minister Is com ing to supper, and I was testing your manners." Reggie gave a snort: "I've no use for these fire-drills, anyhow."

HIRED . AN UMBRELLA ESCORT Got Many a Thrill Like Novelists Fut In Their Stories "Willie Being Convoyed Home In th Rain. "I had read these stories In the papers," said Lucinda, "about the boys with um brellas who wait around subway and elevated station on rainy day to make what they can escorting people home, but It had never occurred to me that I should ever have any such experience. It only goes to show that anything is liable to happen to anybody. "Do you know that big hat of mine, the one I have to tip my head sideways In to get through the narrow doors of the pay as you enter cars? I've Just had to buy another smaller hat to wear to run about In; but the big hat is a nice hat and I didn't want to get it wet If I could help it, and the other day I got caught in It In the rain. "Do you remember that day when It was so lovely all day and .hen came on to rain about half past S? I was out that day in my big hat and I went home on the elevated; It began to rain while I was on the train, and then I thought of those um brella boys and I hoped I'd meet one. "I didn't stop where I usually do, at a station where many people get off and where there Is likely to be a number of umbrella boys, but I went . one elation farther, so as to be nearer home. I thought I would take a chance of meeting a boy there. I could telephone for an umbrella if there wasn't any, but there was just one boy there. He told me later that he had come there himself to this station be cause so many boys went to the other station; he thought that here, where I found him, there would be less competition and he would be more likely to get custo mers. Not bad for the small boy, do you think? Captured the Boy. "Well, I saw that boy atandlng with bis umbrella at th foot ot the stair when I started down from the top, and Just ahead of me were two other women and I wa in mortal terror for fear they 1517 Douglas Street For Pur ly Uottl Rom Gowns and Cos tumes, Separate Coats Waists and Suits Late Models We are getting ready for our advance showing.

"He wa about 12 and I am older, you know, and I was a good deal taller than he, his head came about up to my shoul der, but he didn't try to hold th um brella over me, . he opened It and Just handed It to me and I carried It and he walked alongside, and he didn't try to get tn under th umbrella he Just walked along beside me In the rain. "W had quite some dlstancs to go three long blocks across town and one short block dowiv Rnd I thought I had better talk to htm a little to sort of oc cupy the time o that the dlatance wouldn't seem o long to him. I was hi very flrt customer. Thl was th first time he had ever tried the umbrella busi ness, and he hadn't been waiting there more than a minute when I cam along; so he had made a grand start and natur ally he was very much pleased. "I had asked him when I hired him how much It would cost to take me home, and he didn't know. We talked about that as we went along. I told him he ought to have a regular schedule of charges, ac cording to the distance, and I asketf him what he would think of charging, say, a cent a block, charging long blocks aa two; but he thought that would be too little; he was Inclined to think that 10 cents would be about right. Mother Knew He Waa Oat. "I asked him If his mother knew he was out on this work, and he said oh, yes, she had given him the umbrella; and I might say here that It was a very good umbcella, and big; It protected my big hat perfectly. And Incidentally I learned that my escort had a sister, older than himself, and that. he went to school P. S. So-and-so he told me, and he told me where It was and how he got to It. "And then I asked him what he was going to do with the money he earned this way, and he said he was going to keep It In a bank, but he didn't know yet what he was going to do with It. And then I asked him if he knew what he was going to do when he grew up. " 'Yep,' he said, and I said 'What?' 2nd my escort's answer to that was: " 'I don't know yet.' So I Imagined that he had not yet got his mind very firmly fixed. - "By this time we had gone some dla tance and we were still keeping steadily on; presently the boy said to me: " 'Is it much further?" and I told him not much; and then he explained to me that he wanted to get back If he could and get another customer In this rain. But he was Just as nice about it as cuuld be he was a nice boy and in a mlnuie by the architects; every detail was con sidered from tle acoustic point of view. What seemed to be th Instinctive pecu liarities of the Brooklyn Academy and that of Philadelphia were adopted, and yet there was no more than partial success. Bo, too, especial emphasis characterised th exactions mad by the directors of th New theater upon th architects that they might spar no expense or time In constructing a perfect acoustic interior. Tluy thought they had met these require ments, but that mystic something, which la so elusive and apparently so dependent upon chance wa not tn their favor. The builder of railway locomotive sometimes meet a like experience, al though In a different direction, for they have found that of two locomotives built exactly alike, without apparent deviation of a fraction of an Inch In any part of the apparatus or a measurable difference In th weight of the steel and iron, one will always behave perfectly, , whereas, " " the other Is constantly refractory. And th builders of locomotives have never been able to explain what occasions this dif ference any more than th architect of public buildings can tell why on Is per fect acoustically and th other faulty. Philadelphia Ledger. DRESSED IN AIRY HARNESS With Her Body Stained Golden Bronae She Performs Davrlna; Dane. Miss St. Denis appears tn mor than a program in New York. In her most daring dance, though, she wears only a sort of harness of Jewels over her lithe body. Stained a golden brons with the Juice of the betal nut, she Is so completely, clothed In the spirit and beauty of India that any one who goes to see her for any other reason than that of appreciation of a won derful art is going to be disappointed. "Undoubtedly my dances are the most daring on the stage, If you consider merely the question of drapery," she said. "I mean that I wear fewer clothe than Isa dora Duncan. Maud Allen or any of the Interpreters of Greek dancing. For In my last dance that called 'The Temple.' where I appear as the enshrined Idol Radha, the wife of Vishnu I wear, with the exception of trunks, absolutely nothing but jewels and flowers. That Is all that the Idol really wears, and, to put other things on her would seem to me to be prudish, if not prurient. "I try to give an Interpretation as well as a representation of India. But unless you have seen the dance I doubt If you will ui derstand what I mean. "Everything in dancing depends on the spirit In which It Is done. I'ndertaken In the right spirit and before an audience that took It In the same spirit. It would be possible to give a performance In the nude more we came 10 me ena or me journey, that- would be without suggestion. When with my hat all right. It had been under- I you have seen the dances you will agree stood between us that I was to give him I with me." 10 cents, but I gave him 6 cems extra lo"; put In his bank, and then he took the um brella and scurried back to see if he could get another customer. "Wasn't that all very Interesting? I had never dreamed of anything like this happening to me, but here I was now hiring an umbrella buy myself, just like I'd retd about In the stories in the papers. But we never can tell what's going to happen to us." MYSTIC QUALITY OF ACOUSTICS Most Kleslve of Pnesles with Which Architects Have lu Deal. Thst mystic quality which architects constantly designed for an auditorium, or any public service, namely good acous tics, Is reported to have eludid the archi tects who designed the New theater in New York. Recent tests suget that Ihu acoustic quality is not as good as Is thai of th Metropolitan Opera house. The Philadelphia Academy ot Music and the old Brooklyn Academy of Music, burned some years ago, were distinguished for their almost perfect acoustic qualities. And yet the architects were no more than for tunate whan they planned these buildings. They did the pest they could and left th rest to chance. Wlien th Metropolitan Opera house waa constructed th greatest pain wer taken So I saw Miss St. Denis's performance. her coin a dance. In which with wonderful writhing anna and legs she stimulates the motions of the cobra In a small bazar near the Gunges; her Nautch dance, the num ber called "The forest." In which she im personates a Hindoo Yogi, and the final Mystic dance of the five senses, in which the idol Radha descends from th shrine and gives to her priests the message that the gratification of the 1 senses leads to despair, and that only In renunciation does the soul find peace. It is in the last dance that Miss St. Denis wears the Jewel harness, and there It no doubt that the audience at the Hudson, of whom four-fifths wer women, found noth ing to shock them and everything to ad mire. The scene Is In the temple before the shrine of Radha, who sits cross-legged and with joined hands pointing heavenward, while on the steps leading to the altar and on the floor of the temple her priests ring bells and wave lights in their efforts to waken her. Finally, she descends and exe cutes a dance in five parts, simulating In elaborate pantomlne the senses of sight, nearlnfg, smell, taste and touch. The priests are real Hindoos. The temple and the altar setting tn their somber rich ness of color suggest a painting by Gerome, while Miss St. Denis, a lithe, lean brons, bar as Diana herself, save for her harness of jewels, make you think that If all Hindoo goddesses resembled her. even Tommy Atkins would never bav bewailed the waste of Christian kisses on an " 'eathen Idol's foot." Throughout the performance a subtle odor f Incense pervaded the entire house. "Few persons realise th psychological effect of Incense," Miss St. Denis remarked afterward. "Yet It la because of its peculiar lnfluense that It Is used In churches. It ex erts a strange, aubtle power over me during my entire performance and Indeed for some time after I leave th theater. It seems to be necessary to the understanding of my interpretation both for the audience and myself. "I have never understood the' singular fascination that India has for me. I have never been there, though, of course, I hope to visit that marvelous country some day." New York World. NEW CURE FOR PNEUMONIA Hopeful Results of Vaccine Tests at Tnfts Medloal Col lege. Of Immense Interest to medical science are results recently obtained In laboratories and hospitals by the department of path ology and bacteriology of the Tuft Medi cal school of Boston, In th treatment of pneumonia by Injection of vaccine derived from germs which cause the disease Itself. These germs are rendered entirely non harmful before being used In treating th disease. Without here entering upon the techni cal aspects of the treatment, which Is en tirely new. The Times will present Its most significant features, aa related tn an arti cle In the - current Issue of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal. Dr. Timothy I.eory of Tufts Medical school desiring to test the new vaccine on the most unpromising subjects appealed to his professional friends to use the treat ment In alcohoMc and other extreme cases The vaccine Is called pneumoclccus vac cine, the pneumococcus being the name of the special germ which causes pneumonia. The vaccine was tried on thirty-four of these unpromising patients, of whom six died, a percentage of 17.7. Then It was' tried tn forty-nine cases of ordinary pneu monia, with only two death. In the series of forty-nine ordinary cases 16 per cent came to a crisis In three days. The crisis Is reached usually In nine days. The total death for the aeries of eighty, three case treated with the vaccine In jection numbered eight, or 9.7 per cent. Every physician at once will realise that these results are extraordinary. Further experimentation, therefore, will be fol lowed with deep and watchful interest. Acute pneumonia often defies the best services of modern medical science, and if a vaccine has been produced which re duces its virility so marvelously aa these reported cases from Boston would indi cate, the great art of medicine has taken another tremendously long stride.
