"?? r CHARLOTTE

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.?Part of the
responsibility (or the skating .crazo
that has spread" over the United
'- " fStatea thla winter can bo traced to
jtbe gyrations on lea of the "Teuton
Topj-' the "Whirling Wondor"?Char
jotte Oolscblaeger.
V ' "? Charlotte?her last name Is seldom
. used In connection with her perfornv
ances on Ice, has already cost Nov
York alone a sum estimated at ?V
000,000.
f :'vlt* Is figured that much has been
?pent for skates, skating shoes, skat
ing scarfs and skating costume and In
restaurants adjoining rtnkj, since
' Charlotte started the craze.
? 'When Charlotte began to skate, she
began to break Into the newspapers.
Bhe gave skating lessons in newspa
pers. Thnt helped toe spri-nd.
Along with this it happened that
the public was found in Just the prop
er mood to make skating a fad. The
dence crate has beau on fcr somo
time. Some folk had aotuul:y dancul

for something new.
CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE gjj
.. 'Xjam haying a deluge of corre
spondence. Had a letter from Mollie
Wis morning. She and Chad are In
Florence, or "heaven" she puts It.
"Oh, Margie." she writes, "I wish
evorypne in all this world was as hap
py as I am.
"The loveliest thing about Chad i
U)&t he loves the same things I do.
' "This morning I remarked that I
"!*?nted to go to alli'the places men
tioned in, George Elliot's Romola and
that as I supposed the pilgrimage
would bore him to death he might be
'
excused for the day.
"He looked at me rather queerly for
ii moment and said: 'Mollie, how did
you guess that I asked you to com-)
to Florenoe for that very purpose.' 1
am old-fafitiioned enough to think that
Romola Is one of the sweetest books
' I ever read, and I have wanted all my
, life to visit the places that George J
Elliot has pictured as having known
her heroine.'
"Margie I am so happy that I am
afraid. I am sure that the fates will j
be .Jealous. And here is the queer
jpart of It, Margie. I know that Chad's
ft"" first wife has helped to make me hap-;
You bob she was so selfish and!
self-centered that she never did any
thing he wanted to do if she could
Itelp It. She did not like books?not
gut of doors, nor anything, as far as
?S can learn from little things that
Chad .intimates unknowingly, except
to deck her person and attract atten
Uons to herself.
"??''Chad Is bo appreciative of every
? thing and he Is so considerate of me

think I would get tired of having him
always around. He said: "A woman
;:|?!a fool to marry a man that has no
Interest in life but herself.'
' "Up to date I find being my hus
band's only interest the most won
derful thing that has ever happened
~'?We evidently have not 'talked out
ret for Chad always finds something
?Ijw'say to me, and 1 always have a new 1
lea that I have not yet told him.
"Lost night I talked to him about I
you, Margie, and what you had done
for me,- how you had helped me.
'"When Dick married Margie,' I
?a|d, fI was Just drifting about. I had i
. so ambitions, no particular standards.
I waB raady to flirt with almost any I
good looking chap to whom I was In
^ troduced. Having a good time was my
iftinly business In life.'

HEALTH HINTS1,
GROWING GOOD TEETH.
It is up to mothers to see that chil
dren grow good teeth.
?Foundations for'teeth are'made'or
marred to a great extent by the food
the children receive.
Aside from the question of nourish
ment for the teeth, howevor, there is
the problem of their, proper use and
exercise.
Exercise is Just as necessary to tho
proper development and healthful
maintenance of the teeth and- tissues
into which they aro set as of any oth
er part of the body.
In these days of breakfast foods and
mush there Is apt to be a super
abundance of soft foods and not
enough requiring vigorous chewing.
The result Is that teeth, jaws and
mouth fail to develop properly and to
even maintalu their normal condition.
This causes Irregularities of the
teeth.
There is even reason to believe that
the evil effect of insufficient chewing
extends to the nasal passages and
may have something to do with the
presence of troublesome growths in
these passages which in turn often
cause mental backwardness in chil
dren.
Don't let up on exercise Just be
cause the weather is cold.
Reason for Placing Wedding Ring.
The third finger is the only on*
where two principal nerves belong to
two distinct trunks; the thumb Is sup
plied with its principal nerves from
the radial nerve, as are also the fort*
linger, the mlddlo linger, and the
thumb aide of the ring finger, while
the ulnar nerve furnishes the little
linger, and the other side of the ring
finger, at the point of extremity of
which a real union takes place; hence
the ancient reason for placing the
wedding ring on this finger.
Men Ntver Really Exptrts.
In the game of love, all women are
born experts, whereas most men re
main mere novices all their lives.?
From "The Wisdom of the Foolish."
^ r
In New York, where many M*
start, Charlotte and her Ice ballet
colleagues gave the thing Impetus.
New York folk took to the rinks with
unprecedented enthusiasm. ...
Charlotte's press agent say3 she
?was in ill health before she took to
skating at the age of -6. Whatever
was the matter with Charlotte Is
Isn't any more. She does' as many
things on ice as Pavlowa does on the
stage. She is even' more daring, be
cause there is more chance for the
skates to slip than for Pavlowa to loso
control of her educated tootsies.
Charlotte' comes onto the rinl: for
her performance like a shot from a
42-centimeter gun. At the center of
the stage she brings herself up on her
right toe and begins to whirl. She
makes 23 revolutions.
There are not many Charlottes in J
the country, but there are thousands
ot Just ordinary skaters, some who
have skated for years, and many oth
ers who never put-on a pair of skates
until the craze swept over the coun
try, crowded ponds and lakes and put
thousands of dollars into the hands
of skate and skate accessory makers.

That Explains His Confes
sion in Mohr Case Says
Counsel.
PROVIDENCE, R. I., Fob. 4.?Accus
ing ccrtaln witnesses for the State
of combining to "railroad an Inno
cent woman to prison," William H.
Lewis, counsel fcr the defense In ttie
trial of Mrs. Elizabeth F. Mohr mid
two negroes, charged with tho murder
of her husband, closed his argument
to the jury yesterday afternoon, Mr.
Lewis, as counsel for Cecil Biown, one
of the negro defendants, assefted that
the State was relying on circumstant
ial evidence and that there was noth
ing so unreliable. He condemned the
police method of Investigating the
murder by "getting so-called confes
sions" from prisoners.
He declared that George W. Healls,
the negro chauffeur who turned State's
evidence, in his confession merely had
shielded himself. Ho argued that a
so-called confession was extorted .'torn
Brown by "a dominant will," after
Brown could no longer endure the
"constant hammering" of the police
questioning.
"Brown and Spellman did not com
mit this foul deed," he declared. "It
was the act of an Apache. The be
ginning and the end of the State's
case Is George W. Healls." He assort
ed that Healls had tho opporunity of
shooting Br. Mohr and his compan
ion, Emily G. Burger.
All of today will bo occupied with
tho arguments of John Fitzgerald for
Mrs. Mohr, and Attorney General Rice
(for the prosecution. Judge Steams
will not charge the Jury till tomorrow
morning.
Welding Platinum.
A new process has been recently de
vised in England for the welding of
platinum contacts on springs, thua ef
fecting a saving In the amount of plati
num used. Essentially, the main fea
ture of the process is the placing of a
thin coating of copperplate on the
platinum, which not only facilitates
the task, but also reduces the welding
current necessary. An automatic weld
ing machine is used in the process. It
takes a strip of platinum sheet or a
coll of platinum wire, depending on
whether a flat or pointed contact is de
sired, and deposits a piece of platinum
of the proper size on the spring and
holds It in position during the welding
operation. The welded contact is flat
tened or pointed by a die as It leaves
.the machine.
Reindeer Proved Their Value.
The first practical teat of the endur
ance of reindeer and their ability to
traverse any part of the country under
the most, unfavorable circumstances,
with the temperature at times lower
than that experienced by many of the
Arctic expeditions, was made in 1898.
The train, consisting of nine sledges
and 17 head of deor, startod from
Teller station in the dead of winter,
with the thermometer at 45 degrees
below zero. Native (rails and mil
known sections of the country were
purposely avoided. The trip of more
than 2,000 miles was made in a little
less than tv ? weelts?with a loss of
but two doc

So many cases like this are com

Clarltsville, Tenn.?"I am a County
