GOOD NEWS FROM EUROPE-
Like a ray of sunlight glinting thro' J
me wo. uuuua wuiuu suauuw niurope
comes a brief dispatch from Bor
deaux that Madame Sarah Bern
hardt has successfully stood the
shock of the amputation of her limb
and is steadily improving.
Every man and woman who has
been enthralled by the surpassing his
trionic talent of this remarkable
woman will delight in' the tidings and
voice a prayer that she may speedily
recover her physical health and with
her great gifts unimpaired.
Rosine Bernhardt, better known to
the stage as Sarah, is now nearly 71
years old. She has been constantly
before the theatergoers of the whole
world since 1867 and has delighted
untold thousands by "her-artistic un
persons in "Camille;" "Theodora,"
"Fedora," "La Tosca" and "Cleo

actress, but a sculptor, playwright
and painter, as well as a loveable
woman,

Alfred,Albion, Adolph, Abel and Ab

start on the Bs.

dear parents from anxiety and worry
he was rewarded by a higher power
that saves us from sickness, sfk and

SPANKING CHILDREN. I have
read the story of Stephen Stec. I do
not think it was loyalty as much as
