The Grand Court of Heriones of Jericho for the state and its jurisdiction, will hold its thirteenth annual session in Buxton, June 9, 10 and 11. This society in the past year or more has made wonderful growth and is the strongest organization in the state among the ladies. There are several reasons for believing that this will be the largest attended session in the history of the order in this state. The Grand Matron, Mra. P. A. Jones of Koekuh, said while in this city a few weeks ago, on her annual visit, "the interest in each of the Courts is all that could be expected, and each Court will be represented by from one to six delegates." Mrs. Jones is an excellent lady and has made a splendid Matron. She has been buisy the entire year instructing and advising the Matrons of the different Courts, and as a result each Court will report an increase in membership. It is also expected that a number of distinguished ladies from other states will attend this session. The hospitality of the Buxton people is a guarantee that the visitors will be royally entertained. QUEEN ESTHER. A brief synopsis will refresh our memory of the historic Esther. She was born in Persia 500 years B. C., being an orphan from infancy. She was adopted by her uncle Mordecal, and was afterwards chosen by the King of Bealm to be his wife and Queen. Hamen was Premier and a favorite of the King and hated Mordecal, because he would not worship him as King. Hamen makes a plot and has a scaffold built to hang Mordecal, but the Queen tells the King of the plot and pleads for her uncle. Than the King orders Hamen hung and proclaims Mordecal Premier. The people rejoice. That event has been put in the form of a sacred cantata of five acts and seven scenes, called "Queen Esther," which was rendered by a chorus of about 30 at the A. M. E. church last Tuesday night, under the direction of Prof. Geo. I. Holt. Following is the east: King S. Joe Brown, who sung and acted his part well; Queen, Miss Marie Mash, as that was her debat in a stellar role she was a trifle nervous, which prevented her from singing in her usual graceful manner; Mordecal (dew) G. H. Holt, who is too well known to Des Moines audiences for us to say anything about his acting or singing; Hamani, S. D. Miller, he acted his part in a very acceptable manner; Zereh (Hamani's wife), Miss Besteirice Hicklin, in this as well as all the other principal parts contains some beautiful solos, and Miss Hicklin rendered her nicely; Mordecal's sister, E. M. E. B. Elliston assumed that part. Her singing was very good except her high notes which did not contain enough purity of tones; Median Princess, Miss Olive Smith; Persian Princess Mrs. S. D. Miller; both acted their parts in a very acceptable Manner. Gee, Mason as the High Priest, Hegal and the Beggar did well and in the latter role he received a liberal applause; L. H. Henderson was the Heard and E. B. Elliston the Sotheb, and had their parts well in hand. Ethel Bomer sang her solos very beautiful, as was the duet sung by the King and Persian Princess in the second scene of the first act, and the quartet composed of the Messrs. Holt, Mason and the Misses Hicklin and Bomer in the third scene of act five was very prominent, as their rendition was good and deserved the applause they received. Miss Nina Hamilton was the accompanist. With a larger chorus and upon a larger stage with an orchestra the cantata could be rendered with better effect.

The churches the school houses and other public buildings were thrown opened and the various charitable clubs and women's relief clubs, the city council and other clubs responded immediately and went to work clothing, feeding, sheltering and comforting the many homeless. The many horrible stories told of the suffering, and to see families leaving their homes in boats with little clothing and drenched in the pouring rain and even little babies born in the flooded homes who was forced to move, the scene was one indiscreible for only those who seen these acts can tell and reports show that the condition was even worse in Kansas City and Topeka where many lives were lost; among the colored people who lived in the bottoms and lost their gardens and other things were, Waddy Calloway, Albert Moss, Geo. Taylor, Washington Williams, Gus Comley, Wm. Smith, A. M. Midgett, Chas. Mash, Monroe Anderson, A. L. Lucus, R.

"The old saying that nothing is too small to steal is exemplified in our business," said a manufacturer of custom-made clothing. "Our thread gave a merchant of nothing. We have to keep a watchful eye upon it. The case in which it is kept is under the supervision of our most trusted employee. If he chose to be dishonest he could rob us of $5,000 a year and we would be none the wiser. We would have no matter. We have using more thread than usual, but the excess might be attributed to other causes. "We have to check out every spool we give to our tailors. Even at this we are in danger of having a cheaper grade substituted. The difference in the price of the spools may be only one or two cents, but it offers a temptation if the scheme can be worked on a large scale. Some years ago we were forced to the conclusion that was being operated to pose of stack the spools. The spools were sold by peddlers from house to house. This suspicion caused large establishments to have each spool stamped with dyes which cut into the wood, stating that the thread was stolen from such and such a shop, the name of which was stamped on the spool." ALL DIED OUT OF BED. Curse on Zborowski Family Finda Another Victim. That Elliot Zborowski, who was killed on Tuesday in an auto accident at Nice, died as he did, will be no surprise to those in this city who remember him as the greatest daredevil New York and Newport society ever had. Even Foxhall Keene, who has had half the bones in his body, was killed by a police officer American count for his wild, reckless disregard for life. He was born in this city of a long line of Zborowski. Strangely enough, his death is in keeping with the traditions of his family, for none of the male members ever died in bed. Back of this remarkable circumstance is a tale of a curse four generations ago launched at the head of the great-greatfather of Elliot Zborowski, a rich boy who later was called upon heaven to prevent any male Zborowski from ever dying in his bed. None has since. Elliot's father was stricken with paralysis and died in his chair before the son could fride for a physician. One of his uncles Elliot, was killed by a New York, New Haven & Hartford train. Another, Francis, was drowned in a Williamsbridge pond. Still another member of the family was killed by being thrown from a horse, and so the story has gone. Now comes the crushing of this generation's representative in a twentieth century accident—New York World. In This Gilded Age. Now it's to be a $7,500,000 hotel in New York to the Man who went to the Waldorf-Astoria and was afraid to put his boots outside the door of his room lest the porter would gild 'em will have renewed occasion for apprehension.

Over 1,000 houses were flooded, some of which were washed off their foundations. Water flooded the bridge, the Belt line tracks and South Ninth street to a depth of from two to five feet. Railway traffic was suspended for thirty hours and crippled for a week. Street car service was abandoned. Fifty extra police were hired. The city and county fed 3,000 peleb. Donations of food and clothing were called for and placed in the hands of a general committee and afterward distributed through the American Chamber of Commerce. Many thousands of dollars' worth of clothing and food were given. More than 1,000 men were thrown FLOODED SE out of work by the shutting down of factories. Ice houses all floated away except two. Thirty-five thousand tons of ice lost. School houses, churches, schools, the fair grounds and scores of homes were thrown open to sufferers. All the factories of the city were shut down for a time. Business was suspended for two days, all of the business men joining in the work of relief. There were three day and nights without a letup. The actual property loss will reach $1,000,000, which does not begin to take into consideration the loss to business interests and the inconvenience. The city council demands a special session of the legislature to pass a law enabling cities and towns in town to levy a tax for the purpose of levying these companies thousands of dollars. The losses are divided as follows: Losses to factories ..... $100,000 Losses to homes ..... 500,000 Losses to offices ..... 100,000 Losses to business houses Street railway loss, including, loss of business and damage. Cost of fight put by Edison and Des Moines Water Man and few movies Water Works company ..... Expense to city and county Railroad damage, including washed away 15,000 Larger bridge 15,000 Innumerable smaller losses will swell the grand total above the $1,000. 000 mark in Des Moines and vicinity Des Moines, June 2.—The local flood waters jetted enough yesterday to be confined in the river channels, but receding they left behind enormous ponds within the dykes, which will have to be pumped out, and the flood waters an epidemic of fever worse than the epidemic of pneumonia and kindred diseases with which more than 200 of the flood sufferers are even now afflicted. Gone down between four and five feet and no longer run over the dykes. It became apparent to the authorities that the worst flood was not in the excessively high waters them- Quietly to the effect, it was estimated that thousands of the home- less will be a care upon the city for six weeks or longer. A fund of $6,000 been raised by private subscription. Flood Buffers at Des Moines are Going Back. Des Mines, June 4—Flood sufferers began moving back into the water soaked houses in the bottom land yesterday. Transfer wagons were as great demand as they were when the floods lasted, and ever, who were unable to get their goods out of their homes began houses keeping today with less than they have ever owned before in their lives. They were able to move the houses, many of which have from three to ten inches of mud on the floors. In many instances the window lights are broken out and plaster is missing. They are doing a reinforcement foundations, restoring fences and sidewalks and outbuildings which have floated down stream. Several houses have been broken down, smashed against them by the current work of moving back into the flooded district will take several weeks. Scores will not move back at all. On every hand the stricken people are moving to a new city, county and state officials looking towards the strength of the levees. The waters of both rivers are now confined to the banks of the streams. We have to break leaves in a number of places, which surrounds homes and factories. The board of public works will not take up this work until it is positive that the waters will not rise again. Grocery stores and meat shops were opened up in the flooded district yesterday, and the fire departments put back in the stations. By night it is estimated that one thousand homes have been burned again in the district which has been twice drowned out within a year. CONTROL FT. DODGE LINE. Big Change in the Directory of the Road. Des Moines, June 5.—As was anticipated, Edwin S. Hooley, president of the Evansville & Terre Haute railway, and also a stock broker in New York, will be among the stockholders of the Des Moines & Ft. Dodge railway in this city yesterday afternoon. In railroad company offices, he will mean the relinquishment of line by the Rock island, which has been operating it under a lease, and SECTION OF EAST LOCUST STREET, D the taking charge of it by the illinois Central. Nothing was done yesterday beyond the election of three new directors, ousting three Des Moines men favorable to the Rock Island, the city where a meeting of the stockholders which will be held here July 9 and another meeting of the directors to be held in New York June 11. Mr. Hooley was represented at the meeting of the stockholders. Tere Haute, In. After the votes had cast it was found that Norbert Heinsheimer, Roswell F. Vall and Lawrence B. Pearson of New York, followed Mr. Hooley had been elected directors to the meeting of John I. Dille and E. C. Finkbline of Des Moines, whose terms had expired. Mr. Hooley had control of the bulk of the stock, immediately after the three new members of the annual meeting of the directors were held, the three new members and Nathan Seeley of New York and Carroll Wright of Des Moines. No action was taken beyond the date of adjournment being Mr. Carroll Wright, attorney for the Rock Island in Iowa, refused to discuss the situation last night beyond making the statement that he did not believe the result would affect the Rock Island. It is presumed that the object of the special meetings is to decide what action will be taken regarding the release of the person charged with the road, about $2,000,000, and also regarding the lease of the Rock Island. The bonds and lease expire in the next month, and are stockholders of the Rock Island. The Des Moines & Ft. Dodge road was built a number of years ago by local promoters. While it failed to pay the workers, it was operated independently, it is a value-added trunk lines. It is 138 miles long and extends from Des Moines to Ruthven Des Moines. The Rock Island has operated the road for 10 years. The company was anxious to purchase the road, but Mr. Hooley captured the majority of the stock owned by the company, and he bought it in the interest of the Illinois Central. LEVEE BREAKS AT KEOKUK. Floods 40,000 Acres of Land—Loss Estimated at $750,000. Keckuk, June 4.—The Hunt levee on the Illinois side of the river below this city broke yesterday afternoon and 40,000 acres are flooded south of Warsaw. The break occurred at the same point as in 1892. Nine hundred feet of the Indian Grove levee further down the river also went out this afternoon and flooded 35,000 acres. As a result of other disasters all the low country between Warsaw and Quincy is under water. The loss is $750,000. The river, at Warsaw is 12.5 feet eight inches higher than 1881. Des Moines, June 3.—President Roosevelt made another triumphant tour through Iowa yesterday, and the scenes all along the route of his special train were, in the spontaneity of their enthusiasm, and in the great excitement of the crowds which assembled, repetition of the same gesture ago when he visited Des Moines and other cities, on his way to St. Louis. The presidential train, despite the crowds, proceeded through that state on schedule time and entered Council Bluffs at an early hour yesterday morning. There the president was joined by Secretary Shaw, who met him on his way to Denison, the secretary's home. The meeting at Denison was a tribute to the secretary of the treasury and the townmen as well as to the president, the townman and the book-cassion in his address to give his appreciation of the services rendered by Secretary Shaw and other olows witnessed with the national government. From Denison the Illinois Central carried the executive's special, and its run across the state was made on Monday. The state was not an accident of any character occurring to mar the progress of the party. The most important stop of the day before Dubuque was reached was at Fort Dodge, where President Rosevelt left his train and was driven about the city, and to a park where he remained there an hour. Other stops were made at Webster City, Iowa Falls, Cedar Falls, Waterloo, Chesterfield, and 6 at 6 o'clock the evening the train pulled into Dubuque, where the president remained over night as the guest of Senator Allison.

Des Moines, June 3.—The executive council at a meeting yesterday appropriated the balance of the money in the providential contingent fund, $4,000, for the relief of the institution for feeble minded at Glenwood. This money, with the sum that the board of control will scrape together, will, it is thought, keep the institution running in a fairly satisfactory manner. Chairman Cowie, of the appropriate control, said yesterday that with the $4,000 appropriated, the board would probably be able to get a total of $5,000 together for repairs. This he thought, could be made to suffice. The sum of $1,500 for boiler house repairs appropriated by the last general assistant would be also about $1,000 appropriated for plumbing custodian building. Small appropriations for a deep well pump and for a generator will also be used. NO SPECIAL SESSION. Would Not Effect Immediate Relief For The People. Des Moines, June 4—There will be no extra session of the state legislature on account of the floods. The city, council of Des Moines passed a resolution asking for a special session that some law might be passed under which the city might make a special levy for dykes and thus give employment to a large number of men. The matter was looked up today and it may that any measure the legislature might make into force until after the next session of the legislature, and no tax levy could be collected and made use of this year. It would therefore be just as well to wait for the regular session to call the council committee has not yet called the council to make formal request for a special and the governor will not take it up until the council presents its pain. Creston Suffers Serious Fire Creston, June 5.—A disastrous fire visited the business section of this city, last night, about 11:30 o'clock.

TORNADO BRINGS RUIN AND DEATH Storm Strikes Town of Gainesville, Ga., and Leaves 150 Dead In Its Path. COTTON MILLS DESTROYED Many Buildings, Including Depot, Hotels, Stores and Dwellings, Were Razed—Fully as Many Injured as Killed. Galnesville, Ga., June 2—Within the space of two minutes yesterday a tornado dealt death and destruction to the city of Galnesville and environs, killing at least eighty-five people, fatally injuring forty more, leveling 100 cottages to the ground and tearing two stories off the factory of the Galnesville cotton mill. Of the killed probably two-thirds were women and children who were operatives in the cotton mill. The death list includes only about six negroes. The property loss is at least $300,000. The death list is yet imperfect, not all the bodies having been recovered and identified. Many of them were mangled beyond recognition, the only evidence of identification being the records of the two cotton mill in which most of the victims worked. The storm came from the south out of almost a clear sky, swooping down on the Gainesville cotton mills near the Gainesville airport at fifteen minutes before 1 o'clock. With a terrible crash the two upper stories of the building were swept away, leaving thirty-two operatives dead in the room. The cyclone then moved to the suburb of New Holland, two miles away, where are located the Pacolet cotton mills, one of the largest institutions of this character in the south. The price of the Pacolet company was $10,000, but probably 100 cottages standing nearby, occupied by operatives who were employed in the mills, were completely demolished, killing thirty-two men and children, as the heads of the families were nearly all in the factory at work. Dr. Smith, city physician of Gainesville, says he has visited 100 wounded men and personal knowledge of 100 dead. The property loss at the Pacolet mills occasioned by the destruction of the cottages and outbuildings is estimated at $75,000. The Gainesville cotton mills are damaged to the extent of $40,000. The cotton mills were blown down and nearly every employee in the building kill all, including a large number of children. The Southern depot was blown down. The Gainesville Iron works was demolished and several people perished in the wreck. The Gainesville Cotton Oil mills were blown down. The Downtown hotel, now used as a school and apartment house, was razed and half a dozen or more people were killed in it. The Richmond hotel was wrecked after several perished along with it. The Downtown twenty cabotages, a school house and a church were blown away in the negro section of the town. We found brick stores on the main street of Gainesville we were swept away. In all two hundred buildings are demolished here. The cyclone went on to New Holland and it is believed at least 75 people were killed in Gainesville, Ga., June 3.—The six thousand inhabitants of this city have begun to realize the extent of the appalling disaster of Monday. It now seems that the number of people not be much short of one hundred, perhaps somewhat over a hundred, considering the number of dangerous storms that recovery cannot now be calculated. The story of the storm's work of desolation has already been told. All that remains is the compilation of an accurate list of the dead and the chronicle and burial of the victims. Figuring from all available sources, the storm's impact is reported which are believed to be truly worthy, the following is a summary of the effects of the tornado in Gaulnessville and in environs: One hundred killed; one hundred of whom probably twenty will die. Eight hundred homeless, their real haven had been wiped out of ex- istence Property loss of about half a mii- The death list so far compiled includes thirty-two at the Pacolet cotton mills at New Holland, all of whom were killed in the demolition of the mills, near the Southern railway station, where the tornado first struck. TWO HUNDRED KILLED. Massacre Committed by Band of Ba shi-B佐鞍 at Smerdash, Turkey. Monastir, Europe, Turkey, June 5. —Horrible details are arriving here of the slaughter of the inhabitants of the village of Smerdash, south of Lake Presba, May 21, by Bashi-B佐鞍. It appears that on the arrival of the Bashi-B佐鞍, Chakalairof's band of insurgents withdrew to the mountains without sustaining any loss. As no rebels were left in the village the inhabitants of the streets. Though the artillery suddenly, at sunset, the Turks, who had completely surrounded the place, commenced a regular bombardment, whereupon all the villagers assembled in the streets. Though the artillery fired suddenly, at sunset, the Turkish infantry fired all night. The artillery bombardment was recommenced at daybreak, but it was ineffective. The Turks set fire to the village on all sides and commenced a general massacre, slaughtering wounded and dead. 300 houses were burned and upwards of 200 persons, mostly women and children, were killed. The women and girls were murdered while resisting outrage. Whole households were burned, and the slain and their bodies were heaped on the hearth. Not a living soul was left in the village. The survivors, many of them half burned or otherwise injured, fed. Some of the fleeing villages were captured and their ears and nose cut off before they were butchered. The report adds that fifteen hundred villagers were in the mountains without clothing or food. One band of these, consisting of forty women and men, were caught by the soldiers in a ravine where were killed after horrible treatment. THREATEN TO SPREAD PLAGUE Said To Have Secured Bacilli, Which Will Be Used London, June 4.—The Sofa correspondent of the Daily News alleges that the Macedonian revolutionary leaders have obtained possession of a Indian plague bacillus, which they threaten to use cause an outbreak of the plague if their demands are not conceded. The correspondent quotes the leaders as saying that if within eight days after their warning the great enemy guarantees the abrogation of the Berlin may die, but we will not die alone, for there shall follow us into the grave martyrs of the people of Europe, the continent which has robbed us of our liberty." It is stated that designation of the leaders is to infect Constantinople, Salonica and even Berlin. GREAT ARMY ON A STRIKE About 70,000 Textile Workers Out at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, June 2.—it did not need the assertion of the executive board of the textile workers yesterday to carry conviction that the greatest conflict between employers and employees ever seen in Philadelphia is now on. The crowd of idle men, women and children that congregated on the streets of the city's textile mill districts formed a story without words. It was estimated last evening by leaders in the strike that more than 75,000 textile workers refused to go to work today as a protest against the employers refusing to reduce the working time of the workers from sixty to fifty-five hours a week. Regular Troops to Protect City. Leavenworth, Kan., June 2.—Colonel Miner, commandant at Fort Leavenworth, last night ordered out two companies of the engineer corps with their pontoon boats and arms. They went to Kansas City on a special train early this morning. Colonel Miner took this step on receipt of a message from Mayor Gilbert of Kansas City, Kansas, saying that all the grocery stores of that city had been completely sold out and that the criminal employment had gone to pillaging and destroying.

The Maria Theresa maler has for generations been current, but for want of a smaller coinage salt blocks became the standard of exchange, and resisted all efforts, even of the emperor, to replace them by a new currency.

The late Paul du Challau was on one occasion asked why he had never married. "Well, once upon a time," he answered, without a smile, "an old African king who was very fond of me offered me my choice of eight hundred and fifty-three women as a wife. 'Your majesty,' I replied, 'I should marry one of the beauties of yours there would be eight hundred and fifty-three women here.' 'Well,' replied the king, "that is easily settled, too strong for me, however, and as I have never had such a field to choose from since, I am still a bachelor." A certain American woman, the wife of a former representative in congress and minister abroad, who now aims at social leadership in the most exclusive and top-loft circles of Washington, D. C. is noted for her love of display and novelty, and she will bear up under. One recent night she gave a dinner. Several of the diplomatic set were present. Madame was in high father, and she also wore pearls and a crown of pearls around her neck. During the evening she complained of feeling a bit chilly and told one of the servants to call her maid. When the maid appeared in the room, she exclaimed: "Susette, I am so cold; please get me another string of pearls." Salvatore Cortesi, in a very readable article in the World's Work on King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, says that after the assassination of his father, Queen Margherita was very anxious that King Humbert should be buried at the Superga at Turin, where the set of his tomb was located, with the deception of the great Victor Emmanuel. Moreover, her majesty did not wish to wound the susceptibilities of the papal party by a state funeral. The king ordered the room where the Queen was, exclaiming: "Well, that is arranged—my father will have a fiting burial in the Pantheon." "Victor, cried his mother, "I see you want to be lionized with your ligion as well as my affections." "I am sorry, mother," se said gently, and am sorry, mother, "he said gently, and which is offended at a martyr being killed, his own wife. You offend my beside his own father needs radical changes."

Kansas City, Mo., June 5—With the rapid fall of the river business is resuming its normal condition. The water works are pumping black water from the Kansas river, not fit to drink, and the danger from fire is over. Electric street car lines are in operation. The telephone and telegraph connection will be established between the two Kansas Cities today, and the tracks are being cleared of the rulers of the James street bridge. Gangs of railroad repairers are close upon the heels of the retreating flood and the tracks are being cleared of the grade where washed out. At dark last night the water was beginning to leave the floor of the union depot. Men in rubber boots worked in the flood all afternoon, putting the building in order. At the stock yards 2,500 hogs and 300 cattle were drowned. A force of men began today to remove the carcasses where lodged in drift. The current through the stock yards dislodged the carcasses. This makes it difficult to get about. In the wholesale and packing house districts of the west bottoms the scene is even more depressing than yesterday. The water is not so swift, but additional buildings have fallen, and the water is still flowing heaps of ruins. In some places men with poles are loosening the heaps of wreckage to let it drift away. This wreckage to let it drift away. This streets. Firees will probably be built to destroy the rubbish that is left in the water disappears. The wooden buildings lie bottom and many of the brick structures are lootting. SEVEN MORE BODIES FOUND. List of Known Dead at Topeka Now Numbers Seven-ate one. Topeka, Kas, June 5—The bodies of seven more flood victims were dead now merely seventy-five of known dead now merely seventy-five of thirty people identified.

Scores are reported missing and there is no way of immediately identifying the bodies of over five pot has been improvised as a morgue and there the bodies are gathered to await identification. The river yesterday fell 13 inches. This is the over five feet from the high water mark. It is just now that the devastating power of the flood is becoming known. North Topeka is a total wreck. The water is the greatest part of the town. in the residence districts it is seven feet deep in most places and there is considerable current. But the current is no longer strong and back into the bed of the river.

Supposed to Be Business Men at Toledo, Machen's Home. Washington, June 3.—The go-betweens who, it is alleged, figured in transactions which led to the arrest of Mr. Machen, a superintendent of the free delivery system, are understood to be members of a firm in Toledo, Ohio, the former home of Mr. Machen. The attorney claims that there are several parties whose arrest may be decided on at any time, Postmaster General Payne said last night that so far as he is advised no immediate arrests are in contemplation. The preliminary hearing of Mr. Mashen before a United States commissioner, which is scheduled for next month, will determine in case the grand jury should report an indictment against him. The case will be presented to that body today, when a number of witnesses subjected by the government will make an indictment. The indictment would relieve the government from the accessivity of disclosing its evidence prior to the trial of the case in court and would require the rearrest of Mashen and the assistance of fresh bonds. Assistant United States District Attorney Taggart and Postoffice Inspector Mayer of Chicago, who worked up most of the indictment, consulted arrangement for the presentation of the case to the grand jury.

A young girl marries in the hope for the future, the widow to forget the past. A critic is a moral butcher who will cut into, and cut up, and cut out anything. There is a lot of incense burned on the altar of love that goes up in smoke. Tact is the art of making people think they are right when you know that they are all wrong. I admire the fellow who succeeds in borrowing all that he wants. He has the nerve that converts itself into hard cash. They say that a giraffe's tongue is long enough to go around a woman's waist, but a woman's tongue will waste even more than that. Women worship money, but the man who stands for it gathers the foggy incense to himself and smiles a self-satisfied, hard cash smile. When a woman speaks of her husband as being such a domestic man you can gamble on it that he is always hanging around when he is not wanted, and poking his nose into everything. When a man proposes to a girl he should be extremely modest. A woman likes to think it a lovely piece of condescension on her part to accp any man, even though she may be dying for him (or his bank account, his auto or his yacht—but what on earth am I talking about, anyhow?).—Kate Thyson Marr. You are not only what you are now; you are everything you have ever been. Whoever lives entirely in the present does not know the meaning of sympathy. Your childhood is in you; your youth is in you; every hour of your life is still being lived. Consider, then, the importance of the present time, which in its turn shall form a part of the future. Bring back your youth—it is thus you shall understand youth, with its laughter, its gayety, its enthusiasm. Live again your childhood—it is thus you shall understand the intensity of every childish joy and trouble. Bring back your hours of trial, the dark hours of suffering, and no one shall come to you in vain for consolation. Somewhere in your life the experience has been that shall give you a fellow feeling for every happiness, for every sorrow. Among my fellow men I see too many who are prisoners of the present. They shut themselves out from the past. Now and then the memories force themselves upon them. They sigh and shake their heads and turn away.

All military authorities on the continent are of one mind as to the immense advantage which will accrue to the power which, at the outset of a war, can most quickly place in the field a superior force of efficient mounted troops. One result of this belief is the extreme care with which each of the great military powers of the continent watches the strength and distribution of the cavalry of its neighbors. At the present moment some disquietude exists in the Triple Alliance, because the cavalry of the Double Alliance has become superior, numerically, to their own. In the event of war, France could place in the field 327 squadrons and Russia 711; or the two allies together 1,033 squadrons, while the Triple Alliance could only muster 746 squadrons, or 329 squadrons less than the Double Alliance. ```markdown ``` Tailors Resource Center If men knew the many artifices the tailor has to resort to in order to make them presentable they would be less ready to make him the butt or ridicule, says the Tailor and Cutter. Truly the tailor has need of paddling and wedding, haircloth and canvas, to enable him to clothe his customers in such a way as to hide their deformities and bring into prominence their points of beauty. Tomba of Our Presidents An argument in favor of having our dead presidents buried in a national cemetery at Washington may be found in the proposition to increase the guard at the temporary tomb of President McKinley. It is proposed to put the garrison on the basis of an army post. Hospital and dispensary facilities are to be increased, and a new site selected to accommodate sixty-five men. Wireless Telegraphy in Paris. In Paris it is proposed to establish a central station, from which wireless telegraphy will be used to transmit the news to subscribers in different parts of the town. The Societe Française de Telegraphie Sans Fll has been organized with this end in view, and the experimental stations which have been installed in different parts of the city appear to work satisfactorily. Pin Has Seen Long Service At the marriage of Miss Aimee Stagg and Augustus Post in Paterson, N. J., recently, the bride wore a pina which had been worn by sixteen other brides in the same family. It was first worn by her grandmother, Mrs. Stephen Courter, 66 years ago, and since then all the girls in the family have tried to make it a part of their marriage outfit. A railroad company is said to be conducting a series of experiments with a freight car the trucks of which are fitted with oval bearing journals. These, it is claimed, make the car run so easily that a single person can move it. If they prove practicable, train loads can easily be doubled and hauled with the same power now used. Truthful Comment. A little boy fell asleep the other night just before dinner and dreamed a dream that spread over a whole week. When they woke him they told him that he had been asleep just five minutes. He pondered a time, and then said dazedly: "It takes an awful long time to sleep five minutes."—Ex change. Aaron Burr's Alleged Pun Aaron Burr was feeling immediately after the duel. "But where will you be next?" asked his second. "I can't tell," returned the statesman, "whether I'll be Aaron Burr, or Burr in air." Stopping to kick a suggestive piece of rope out of his pathway, he hastily resumed his flight. Bribery In Kansas. In making affidavits of his election expenses, a Marion county candidate reports that he paid his wife 50 cents for getting up and making the fire five times. Things must be coming to a terrible pass in Kansas. We want to know if this is not bribery.—Exchange. Many New Stars. Within historical times there have been no fewer than twenty-six recorded appearances of new stars. One of the most brilliant was that which appeared in the constellation of Cassiopela in 1572, a short time after the massacre of St. Bartholomew. Virginian Identified It by Its Peculiar Expression. "Tidewater Virginia," said Mr. E. L. White of Lancaster, Va., at the Shoreham recently, "is the most delightful and wonderful country in the world. Everything that heart can wish or the appetite can fancy is produced from the tidefield fields and the great rivers that traverse them on their way to the bay. Notating ever surpassed her oysters, her fish, her ducks, her diamond-hack terrapins. "The terrapin farming," he continued, "is a remarkable business and very lucrative. But it requires a large outlay of capital and a great deal of labor. Each owner of a 'farm'—as the little water front fenced in for the purpose is called—zealously guards his domain and resents the slightest enchancement by a neighbor or stranger. And a curious thing about it is that these men engaged in the business have learned to know their own terrapins by the expression of their faces. Not long ago a negro boy was arrested in one of the lower counties in the Rappahannock river for stealing a 'diamond back', and he was convicted upon the testimony of the owner, who swore point blank that the said terrapin was his, and was stolen from his 'farm', because he recognized the aforesaid terrapin by its individual expression of countenance, which he had studied for years. "He stated also that all his terrapins had the same smile and gentle look out of the quiet eyes; that he would know them at once anywhere among all the terrapins of the world. I tell you, air. Tidewater Virginia is a wonder."—Washington Post. A Bad Estimate The spirits of a young man were considerably dampened on a recent Sunday evening while he was out walking with a young lady. The evening was rather cool, and the girl was very lightly clothed, so, thinking to add to her comfort, the young man took off his coat and placed it about her shoulders. As they walked along he kept thinking of his gallantry, like himself to d'Artagnan, Sir Walter Raleigh and various other cavaliers, until he heard a passing woman say to her companion: "Hm. That's all we're good for—to have men hang their coats and bats on us."
