FLAGSHIP NIAGARA TO BE RAISED FROM LAKE ERIE. Ship Which the Heroic Perry Defeated the British to Be Raised as a Relic of the Battle of Lake Erie. THE SHIP OF THE SEA VOL. 22. NO. 32. FLAGSHIP NIAC RAISED FROM Ship Which the Heroic Po- to Be Released as Battle of The rate bill, pure food inspection measure and the selection of a type for the Panama canal are among the legislative products of the session of congress just ended that have the largest share of interest from a prac- tical standpoint, but from a sensati- nal and historic viewpoint, the house, senate and president, at the instance of Representative Arthur L. Bates, enacted no more interesting law than that appropriating $20,000 to raise the famous old flagship Niagara from Lake Erie, and preserve it as a per- manent relihe on the grounds of the soldiers' and sailors' home at Erie, Pa, as a memorial of the first victory of an American fleet over a foreign foe. The bill provides for the salvage work, under the direction of the secre- tary of the navy, and for the erection of a brick or stone for the housing of the vessel after it is transported to land. The site contemplated by the board of trustees of the soldiers' and sailors' home of Erie who are made the custodians of the vessel, for the proposed building, is on a bluff overlooking Lake Erie, making a most appropriate getting for carrying out the patriotic intentions of the advocates of the reservation, philanthropy, the after the naval relic is to be kept on exhibition free to the public at all times. The size of the building may be judged from the fact that the Niagara, which was built after the same model as the Lawrence, was 100 feet straight rabbet, 30 feet beam, 9 feet hold, and was pierced for 20 guns. Every American knows of the heroic deeds of Perry at the battle of Lake Erie in the war of 1812. It is one of the brightest signs in a naval history lustrous in deeds of valor. How on that September morning, 1813, the gallant Perry defeated the British, but only after he had had one battleship virtually shot from under him, so that he had to transport his flag to another. He began that battle on the Lawrence, and ended it in victory on the Niagara. Contrary to an impression that has gained currency the Niagara did not sink during the battle. It was not until years later when the memory of the battle was forgotten in the fitness that the Niagara found a resting place at the bottom of the lake. The battle of Lake Erie has always been regarded by Americans as their crowning victory on water in the second struggle with Great Britain. It made the fame of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, born in Rhode Island, and one of the greatest of our early sea fighters. He only fought both the Lawrence and the Niagara with consumate skill, but he also built them, an achievement not possible to the naval leaders of to-day. Early in the war he was assigned to go to Lake Erie, and build two brigs of war of 500 tons each and twenty guns. So imperative was the haste that timber cut in the forest was put into the ships on the same day. His force was much depleted and discouraged by illness when the British fleet under the command of the Admiral Herbert Barclay appeared in force. Barclay was a veteran of fine ability, who had been with Nelson at [Illustration of a ship with multiple masts and sails navigating through water]. Gold by Distillation.

BATTLE ON BATTLE ON LAKE ERIE. Growing Taste for Horsefresh. The taste for horsefresh is growing in Paris. In 1904 22,000 horses, asses and mules were slaughtered there for food, and last year the number was 42,000. A little over a year ago a "hipophagic" slaughter house was opened by the municipal council in the Rue des Morillons, and now the horse butchers are petitioning the authorities to allow them to extend the space available—at their own expense. All the town has to do is to supply the territory. THE APPEAL. loan ships were equipped with carronades which could only carry for a short distance. Before going into the battle, Perry raised on his flagship a standard on which were the words of the herocle Lawrence, for whom the ship was named, spoken in his moments of death: "Don't give up the ship." As the two fleets came together, Commodore Perry arranged a line of battle which, if adhered to, would have divided the brunt of the conflict between the Niagara and the Lawrence, leaving the flagship to engage the Detroit, and the Niagara to take care of the Queen Charlotte. The Lawrence was much faster sailor than his sister ship, and was not to be held back. It had also been suggested that Capt. Elliott of the Niagara was not as anxious to get in stuck to their tasks with unabated courage. The entire crew manning a gun would be wiped out by a shot from the enemy, and in an instant a new complement would step forward to take their places. Finally the Lawrence got within range, and the gunners did some of their manning for which Uncle Sam's naval service is famous. Helped only by the little ships, the Scorpion and Ariel, the Lawrence stuck bravely to her post, the commander soon had the joy of seeing that his shots were doing deadly work to the enemy.

Her rigging was shot away, and she could not be maneuvered, water was pouring in from a dozen holes, and in all the crew Perry, his brother and eighteen men were all who remained unwounded. The Niagara had not been in the fight, and was uninjured. She now was to take up second chapter of fight. Perry ordered up his boat, took the flag, with its motto, "Don't give up the ship," and pulled out for the Niagara. The enemy, penetrating the design, and having knowledge of the prowess of the commander, stopped their cheering over the plight of the Lawrence, and silt all their sharpshooters trying to sink the little craft or at least kill Perry. Niagara was torn up by the grape and shells which fell on all sides, cars were splintered, and the boat was several times hit, but Perry made the trip in safety, and clambered up the side of the Niagara, unarmed. At this moment the sorely pressed Lawrence was forced to yield, but the trump of the British was short, for Perry ran the fresh and unharmed Niagara right into the midst of the enemy, and poured into the Detroit, Hunter and Queen Charlotte such a digastrous fire that in a short time the enemy was overrun. The British commander was terribly injured, and nearly all his ships were complete wrecks.

Harry Hickman of East Bradford, Chester county, Pa, has a five-foot blacksnake on his farm which has be- come such a pet that he can pick it up at any time. He frequently fondles it when he meets it in the fields, and considers the reptile of as much value in de- stroying rats and mice as a cat. A Freak Potato. It looks like a duck in the picture. Nature probably intended it to be a duck, but the plants got mixed, and so instead of growing up a duck to swim and make noises and finally reach a New York restaurant as a canvasback, it became a potato. The instinct, however, of the newly-born vegetable protoplasm, or whatever you call it, was so strong that, in spite of all it could do, the poor potato looked like a duck, felt like a duck, and no doubt tasted like a duck, especially when a real duck was served at the dinner and the potato was well soused in duck gravy. In view of these facts it cannot be said that the picture is the result of a snap shot by a freak camera. The artist declares his negative was printed just as it came from the developer, and the potato—the good old sweet potato, such as the darkies always eat swimming in 'possum fat'—came from a garden in Vicksburg, Miss. Mr. W. A. Johnson of Natchez, Miss., who made the picture, says that he has seen many strange freaks in his lifetime, but nothing approaching our freak potato. Perhaps—who knows—careful attention to the propagation of this extraordinary Mississippi potato duckling would eventually result in producing a genine duck—one that would swim and lay eggs and hatch other ducks and at the same time produce enough potatoes to go with the meat should the duck be killed and served for the table. **Freak of the California Earthquake.** When the earthquake "shook up" the Pacific coast, April it made some very freakish move. Leland Stanford Jr., university, situated thirty miles west of San Francisco, is a conspicuous example of this. A few structures were very seriously damaged, but the majority of the college buildings received only minor injuries and will be repaired and ready for the opening of the university in August. The accompanying picture shows with what scant consideration the statue of Agassir was treated. It was thrown from its pedestal on the front of the Zoology building and plunged head downward through the cement walk, where it stood upright and pointed toward Memorial arch at the entrance to the quadrangle and Memorial court. Despite his undignified descent the eminent scientist sustained only a slight abrasion of one ear and the loss of a fragment from a lapel of his coat. After his rescue he was returned to his former position and securely anchored, so that no fears are entertained of a further lapse of stability. HE BLAMED THE FROG. Secretary Wilson Tells a Story About a Weather Prophet James Wilson, the secretary of agriculture, was discussing a rather antiquated kind of farming. "It is about as profitable and logical," he said, "as the weather reading of a Connecticut farm hand I used to know. This farm hand claimed that he could read the weather infallible. On a walk with me one afternoon a frog croaked and he said: "We will have clear weather for twenty-four hours. When a frog croaks in the afternoon you may be sires of twenty-four hours of sunshine, walked on, and in twenty minutes or so a heavy shower came up, and we were both drenched to the skin. "You are a fine weather prophet, said I, as we hurried homeward through the downpour. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. "Oh, well, said the farm hand, the frog lied. It's to blame, not me. Am I responsible for the morals of that particular frog?" Knowing About Horses. "Did you sell horses to those two customers yesterday?" we asked of our friend, the horse dealer. "Yes." "Make anything?" "Off of Jones—yes." "Jones? Why, Jones was the one that said he knew all about horses." "I know. He was easy.

Truths Told in Trick Photographs. THE GOLFING GROUP THE NEW YORKER aralness of the grouping are perfectly conviving. One foot is still on the ground outside the box, the knee of the other leg is braced upon a cigarette, while one hand clutches for support. It is obvious that the boy is having some trouble in his climb, and still he is succeeding. Despite this obvi- ous exaggeration the proportions of the picture are mathematically correct. Given the daily ration of a cigarette fiend as five boxes of the size shown in the picture—and the allowance is not excessive—he will consume in the course of a year, 1,825 such boxes of cigarettes. The cubic contents of one box is a trifle less than five inches. The cubic contents of all the boxes thus emptied in a year would exceed 10,000 cubic inches, and a box of this size would obviously bear about the same proportion to the boy smoker as the one in the accompanying picture. The number of pencils used up by a busy man is another subject for the comparative photograph which lends itself to striking illustration. Taking into account the number of pencils lost, strayed and stolen, in addition to those which are laboriously whittled, a week is not excessive. In the course of years the number of from one to five pencils a week is not excessive. In the course of years the number of timber which thus passes through hands reaches an amazing total. The composite pencil of ten years' service, for example, for one man assumes the giant proportions of the one here illustrated. Should all the pencils be rolled into one and all the pencil shavings be preserved and formed into a single shaft it would require the entire strength of a man to balance such a pencil on end, much less lift it. An attempt to write with such a pencil has been photographed herewith. The cigars consumed by even an average smoker reach surprising proportions every year. An allowance of five cigars a day is by no means too great, it is far below the average of a very large class of smokers, but even on this basis the illustration is sufficiently striking. With this rate of supply a man will have smoked in the course of a year just 1,825 cigars. Another way to put the case, which will bring up a more definite mental picture, is to say that this means more than ninety boxes of twenty cigars each. A pile of nearly one hundred boxes of cigars makes a formidable array. Rolled into one, this composite cigar in little more than a year would have considerable greater bulk than the smoker himself. The proportion is strikingly illustrated by an actual photograph. It naturally becomes quite a problem how to handle such a monster cigar. A man of average strength could no more than roll it about. The end to be cut off before smoking would measure about a foot in diameter. It will be seen in the picture that the smoker in this case has been chopping off the end and is about to sever the tip from the cigar by a few well directed blows. PAY OF EUROPEAN STATESMEN. Denmark Is Stingiest of All to Her Legislators. The Norwegian member of parliament gets only thirteen shillings a day, and if the hard-worked legislator takes a day off he loses his pay. The same is the case with the members of the Swiss diet. They are rewarded with sixteen shillings a day, on condition that they do not absent themselves from work. To go further East, we find that Roumania thinks her lawmakers worth £1 a day. Sixteen shillings a day is the salary of those who compose the Bulgarian sobrenje, but members who Denmark is about the stingiest of all European countries, so far as remunerating her lawmakers is concerned. Danish members of pariment get but six shillings eight peace a day; but, on the other hand, they have the odd privilege of a free seat in the Royal theater at Copenhagen. While the members of the German relicting are not salaried, yet the lawmakers of the warring German states do not work for nothing. Saxe-Coburg members of parliament are paid thirteen shillings, of Bavaria ten and of Hesse nine. At first sight Hungary seems to do live in the capital get only twelve shillings daily. her lawmaking on the cheap plan, for her members get £200 pounds a year in cash. But they are not so badly off, after all, for a liberal allowance is made into the bargain for house rent. Austria-Hungary's two legislative assemblies cost the country about £160,000 a year in all. Both in Austria and Hungary legislators can travel first-class with second-class tickets. Besides the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain are the only countries which pay nothing to their members of parliament. Nevertheless, the cost of the Italian parliament is estimated at £55,000 a year. In Portugal also the state does not remunerate legislators, but they re ceive free railway passes, and their constituencies are legally permitted to pay those who represent them a sum of about fifteen shillings for each day, of the session—London Answers.

PROF. ZUEBLIN AND MARRIAGE. Now comes Prof. Zuebilin of the University of Chicago and proves that the time-honored principles of the American people respecting marriage, are all "glittering generalities, which never in the nature of things, can be." It will be remembered that the Nashville American, Atlanta Constitution, Charleston News and Courier, New Orleans Picayne, Richmond Times-Dispatch, and Southern journals have recently proved the same thing in regard to the Declaration of Independence; so that Prof. Zuebilin's utterances are in the same line of thought. Moreover some of Prof. Zuebilin's utterances are in the same line of thought. If the erger was such a fellow was a failure on account of never having taken a course at Chicago University. Zuebilin seems to deem it incumbent upon him to pose as the advocate and of Gorgy, whom he regards as a much-abused We can give but a mere outline of Prof. Zueblin's line of defence, as follows: He asserted so it is claimed that Gorky is much more modest than the theologian most Americans are married to their wives, and that the decent American citizens whose indignant protests led to the adulterous pair's ejection from New York hotels were in a much more jettisonable state than Gorky was in our paraphrase.

He also asserted that it was "nothing but hydrophobia" for the American people to object to a married man's desertsing his wife and children to live with. Prof. Zueblin theory struck the Chicago newspapers—very hard; and so it seems to have done the University professors; for when the clamor was raised, the university published what was said to be a complete copy of the newspaper, "the real life," among the objectionable passages were eliminated, but the concurrent evidence of the Chicago daily newspapers showed that the complete copy was a complete lie, and that Zueblin did utter the sentiments attributed to him.

The fact that she was coerced by surly conditions, does not alter the fact as we know it. Lynching in this country was at one time, limited to the lowest classes; it now has no regard for race or color, wealth or poverty—it has become an occurrence so nearly national as to excite very little attention, a necessary evil which must run its course. MR. BRYAN ON COLORED RACES. At the Fourth of July celebration in London, at which William J. Bryan, a speaking speaker, he took "The White Wee." We have stated it. In the opinion of THE APPEAL, all such utterances, show a decided trend in public opinion in the direction of anarchy. Whenever leading -thinkers become iconoclasts, sparring and sneering at whatever has been regarded as the most legitimate weapon, be a small cloud, in France such a cloud portended the reign of terror. Prof. Zueblin is a crank—but so was Robesperle. LABOR'S FIGHT ON CANNON The newspapers are full of threats that organized labor intends to go into Speaker Cannon's district and make a sturious fight against him in the ensuing debate. On the other hand it is said that the speaker will address organized labor, and speaking for himself, will take the frank and bold position that if the demand for an anti-injunction hill is corroborated and civilization heism wrong since the time when the right of property was first established. That the right of the individual to do as he pleases with his labor is no more secure than it was before he protected from aggression from sources that cannot be called to account or reckoning. The fight against the Speaker is essentially an effort to tie the hands of the mob to the mob mob. When the mob ruled Chicago and had the sympathy of Governor Altgeld, the business of the whole country was disturbed and public sentiment compelled President Cleveland to resent the military force to unloosen the To deprive the courts of the right to issue a writ of injunction simply means a resort to military force; for the country would never submit to be ruled by so insolubleable a minority as "organized labor."

It is probable that other Illinois Congressional districts will endorse "Uncle Joe" to win the nomination. The definite plans are late to the Speaker's home district.

MR. BRYAN ON COLORED RACES. At the Fourth of July celebration in London, at which William J. Bryan as the leading speaker, he took "The White Man's Burden" for his own interest in a battered many patronizing and contemptuous things concerning the colored races of men. It was a conspicuous manifestation of unwisdom. Just at the time the nation is making strenuous efforts to cultivate friendly relations with those colored races. Mr. Bryan is known as a well-represented man of the United States and his utterances are widely distributed among the colored races and are regarded as the sentiment of the nation, as they are to a great extent. Now why should he take occasion to blazon forth to the world his color prejudice? I simply because he has not simply learned that the colored races are watching the United States very closely and are rapidly reaching a condition when they will be able to give this country tit for tat. Count Witte has resorted to the well-worn and threadbare lie which has done such signal service in jim-crowdow, by making the oppressed Jews the aggressors and cause of the outrages inflicted upon them. The Jews have been the victims of savages, very similar to those in the Southern part of the United States, who rejoice at any pretext that can be mustered up to murder the Jews.

Such aids to laundry work as flatrons and wringers are not popular, the processes in use to-day being the same as those of centuries ago; therefore the first recommendation to a young man's favor is ability as a laundress.

PITTSBURG WASHINGTON BALTIMORE VIA WASHINGTON Two Americans Will Attempt to Swim the English Channel. SIGN OF UMBRELLA THEFT Two Americans, George Kistler of Philadelphia and William J. Glover of Elkton, Md., are now preparing for an attempt at the blue ribbon for an natation, swimming the English channel, an undertaking fit for a Leander, and which, although many have tried, has only once been accomplished. They are not working together. In fact their ventures are entirely separate. Kistler is getting ready in Philadelphia, the funds for his trip are being raised by the University of Pennsylvania students, at which institution he is an instructor in swimming. Glover, accompanied by Carlisle D. Glover, will get ready by practicing in the strong currents of the St. Lawrence river. These two men are undoubtedly the best distance swimmers in the United States, and both have the endurance and courage which are requisite to the great task. It is only about twenty miles across the channel, and a good swimmer could navigate the distance without difficulty but for the perverse currents, which put it out of question for even a big ship to pursue an absolutely straight course. When Capt. Matthew Webb won undying fame by swimming the channel way back in 1875, it was estimated that he had covered not less than forty miles in his trip between Dover and Calais. Klistler is now forty-two years old, but he is still a magnificent athlete, tall and blessed with a chest that can be the reservoir for an immense supply of air. His best known feat was his swim on the Delaware river, between Philadelphia and Chester and return. He accomplished this in eleven hours, a distance of thirty-two miles, on the day that Czolgosz shot President McKinley. Glover has performed some notable feats, including his race through the A. CAPT. MATTHEW WEBB, Who Swam the modern Hellespont. Nlagara rapids with Charles D. Graham, whom he defaced. He is the younger man than Kister, and like the Philadelphiaian, has a deep chest and is powerfully muscled. Should either of these men succeed he will not only win the $5,000 offered by an English paper for any one accomplishing the performance, but he will come in for fame and popularity such as has been the portion so far of but one man. When Webb accomplished the bridging of the channel, he aroused such enthusiasm that the people of London promptly subscribed twelve thousand pounds for him. He desired to emulate and surpass Johnson that led to the first conquest of the channel, Johnson made the effort in 1872, and failed. Then Webb, who had learned the art of swimming in the Severn, and was at that time twenty-six years of age, announced his intention of succeeding where Johnson had failed. This attracted to England an American named Paul Boynton, who a queer rubber contrivance with paddles. In it he succeeded in making the transit, though his trip was not considered unadvised swimming. As was forced to abandon his first effort to climb at the time Boynton crossed, by reason of the extra strong current and had weather, but twelve days later, Aug. 24, 1875, he plunged off the Admiralty Diver. He was twenty-two hours in the water, and suffered a little during the eight hours, but emerged from the terrific test of strength, courage and endurance in excellent condition. On the trip he wore an American The man who kept a "general repair" shop listened gravelly while a customer explained that he counted a new handle put on his umbrella, says the New York Press. "The present handle is all right enough," he explained, "but I prefer one with a crook, so I can hang it up." The man opened the umbrella and looked at it critically. It was a handsome, heavy silk, of expensive make. The handle was studded with pearl. "Want a perfectly plain handle, I suppose?" he asked. The customer who had appeared a little uneasy, nodded eagerly. "All right, give it to you to-morrow," said the renaiar man. As the customer went out 'the repairer turned to the friend who had dropped in for a visit. "That's the third stolen umbrella that has come in here to-day," he said. How do I know? Well, why under the umbrella? Because some, expensive handle replaced by an ordinary cheap one, if it isn't because and an English flag intertwined Eighth graders intertwined. Webb's subsequent career was full of pathos. His funds were soon exhausted, and to maintain himself he was forced to give exhibitions of swimming. So great was the popularity that for a two-days' exhibition he could get a thousand dollars. A. H. WILLIAM J. GLOVER, Now preparing for channel swim. Coming to the United States he developed the ambition to swim across the Niagara rapids, and lost his life there July 24, 1882. Cavill, a pupil of Boll, claimed to have made the swim across the channel, but was never credited, and twenty years later an American, Davis Dalton, said he had been over the route traversed by Webb, but he was never believed. In 1904 Frank Holmes of Birmingham, a darate amateur swim, gave up after going about two-thirds of the war. It has remained for Montagus Holbein to come nearer than any present-day swimmer to succeeding. On Aug 27, 1902, he started from Cage Gris nez, and managed to get to within two miles of Dover. He was in the sea on twenty-two hours and a half, and would have succeeded, but for his fortune in striking a perverse current when he was only a short distance from land. On Sept. 1, 1903, Hobbie tried to again, and this time he progressed to within seven miles of the French catst before being forced to give up. It was not until 1900 that any woman became ambitious to swim the channel, and then an attempt was made by Madame Walburga von Isaacus, a Viennese swimmer. She swan twenty miles from Calais in a rough sea before being forced to give in. The next woman to seek fame in the same direction was Miss Annette Kellerman, the Australian long distance swimmer, who, though only a girl of twenty, is one of the greatest swimmers in the world to-day, male or female. She leaped into the turbulent waters just about one year ago, and was accompanied by Edward Heaton of Liverpool. Finally she, too; was forced to give up, but not until she had gone a mile further than her companion. THE WORLD'S FIRST WORLD WRESTLER PROF, GEORGE KISTLER, Who will attempt to swim Engle II he is afraid that somebody will recognize the original handle? There's hardly a day passes but what I'm asked to replace a good handle by a cheap one. "Sometimes a smart man will break the handle when he enter the shop; but when an umbrella is a heavy silk I always have my suspicions. And why stole umbrellas are never found. People who them always keep an eye on, think they may spot them some day in the hands of some one else, but they don't realize that a person who 'borrows' an umbrella takes no chances with the handle. They almost invariable have them replaced with a plain, unpretentious handle that no one would look at a second time." Not What He Thought. "Senator, I present your maiden speech was received in demonstrations of approval, was it not?" "I thought so at the time," replied Senator Badger, "but I afterward learned they exclamations of disbelief." AT THE FANCY DRESS PARTY. BY J. PHILPOT WHITMAN. Yes, they had had quarreled—really quarreled this time. He had called twice, and each time he had refused to see him. What had made her so perversal! Madge's big brown eyes brimmed over with tears. Now she could not go to Mrs. Abbye fancy dress party. For she and Jack, Jake upright were going together and had plumed the costumes they should wear. After some indecision she resolved to go after all. She would persuade her cousin, Amy Slater, to exchange costumes with her. (Amy, she remembered, had greatly admired her Gipsy gown.) And dressed in her cousin's Gilton costume, perhaps she might even dance with Jack, unknown to her. To take pen and ink was the work of a moment; and after several attempts a letter was produced, of which the following is an extract; "I know you will do as I wish, dear Amy; and the Glaspay costume would suit you splendidly. I feel I simply cannot wear it now, after Jack and I have quarreled—you will understand, won't you, dear? So if you could let me have your Girton costume in exchange, I should be ever so much obliged. To which a voluminous reply was received, the substance of which was: "Certainly, dear." The night of the dance arrived in due course. But to two people, at least, the previous 24 hours seemed the longest they had ever, ever experienced. The hall was in a blaze of light. The masked dancers, in their gay costumes made a veritable kaleidoscope of color. Madge, masked, and completely disguised, carried the Girton cap and gown, entered with her aunt and cousin, the latter wearing Madge's Glaspay costume. Jack had planned to wear a Charles II. costume. She caught sight of him at once. Her heart beat wildly as the Merry-Monarch, with barely a glance, passed the Gipsy by. Had it gone so far as this? Was she nothing to Jack now? A tall Monk came towards them in the meantime and begged a dance of Amy. Leaning lightly on the arm of her cousin joined the throng of men in a moment moment Monarch II. stood before her. "May I have the pleasure of this dance?" he said. The little Girton Girl whirled blissfully round in the arms of the bril "Madge." Said Jack lant Charles II. Was she not with her Jack, she said to herself, as she gave her companion's arm just the least suspicion of a squeeze. And yet how cold he seemed. But, how could he know who she was? She could she raise her mask? She decided that it was sufficient to find herself again with him, even under these strange circumstances. Perhaps he would detect her, even under her disguise. But the music came to a close, and Charles II. calmly brought his partner back to her friends, and resigned her to the Monk, who claimed her for the next dance. But she sat this out?" suggested the Monk, noticing his companion's dejected air, and secretly rejoicing at her reply that she would much prefer to do so. For Madge all the joy had gone out of the evening. How she had hoped that during the dance Jack would recognize her! She blushed even now at the thought of the encouraging words she had said to him, which he had parried with a light laugh. Still if he had not recognized her, there was a certain amount of consolation in the fact that her Jack had not attempted to flirt with an unknown girl. She grasped at that straw of comfort. The Monk led her to a cosy, secluded corner, and they seated themselves. Madge roused herself with an effort and looked at her companion. CAUSES FOR FAILURE Vice of Speculation Accounted as One of the Chief Reasons for Business Downfall. What then is competency—this thing without which all else is valueless? asks a writer in Cent Per Cent. It is that invisible, indescribable something which out of a brakesman develops a railroad superintendent or president; that out of a bank messenger builds a great financier; that out of an observant telegram operator produces an Edison, or of a studious lad a Marconi, and from a dry goods clerk makes a Marshall. It is something which school does not teach is not always inherited and cannot be quagli. But it can be acquired in greater or lesser degree by any son or daughter of Adam who is willing to dig as he did, although not necessarily in the earth. Yet there will always be failures, for a reason not therefore mentioned, viz: The vice of speculation, which is the name given to certain kinds of gambling other than that commonly so called. Speculation is unfortunately not rare among men engaged in commercial occupations. In prosperous times many such escape with their hide but in time of a panic or sharp depression in values the number of failures due to speculation increases enormously and reveals the large number of those who cannot resist the temptation to dabble in futures. We have called the indulgence in this thing a vice, and such it is. For the incompetent there is, is sometimes cured by a wound that lasts a fatal, but the most part of his kind finally go down in a financial malestrom. Evil of Procrastination. The world is full of men and women who seem intelligent, who might succeed, and yet go plodding along in their little clerkships or other little routine place, because they lack power force themselves out of procrastination. The expect to begin the struggle more than the time never comes—N. Y. Journal. "Miss Slater," he commenced, pulling off his mask. "I have been seeking for an interview with you all the evening." Madge gasped and stared wildly at her companion. What did it all mean? She looked away to where she had been hiding—indeed she had been following the gay figure with her eyes all the time—and again at the Monk. There could be no doubt about it. Jack was by her side. Apparently she and Amy were not the only ones who had exchanged costumes! But how dare Jack seek an appointment with Amy Slater! He had been looking for her the whole evening, had he! She clenched her hands hard. She would keep her identity secret and learn the extent of his village. What was Jack saying? "I have tried to see her several times, but all to no purpose, and this evening unknown to her, we danced together—she is dressed as a Gypsy Queen, you know." (Madge's heart bounded as the full truth dawned upon her.) "But although I feel she must have recognized me when I ventured to speak a few words of love to her," continued her companion, "she repudiated me coldly and abruptly left me." (Madge mentally begged her friend's pardon for her recent unjust suspicions.) "And so knowing the costume you were to appear in to light," continued the Monk, with delightful innocence, "I resolved to seek you out and ask for your help in the matter, as you are such a friend of Madge's." "You know I love her." (Madge sighed rapturiously.) "And I am the little girl loves me." ("She will say, Madge, too votoe." "You will help in this matter, won't you? And will pardon me for asking this of you!" He waited anxiously for her reply. She temporally "Are you sure you really love her?" she said, with a degree of feeling in her voice which surprised her companion. "Love her!" said Jack, vehemently, in a voice full of emotion which he tried in vain to repress. "You can't know what it means to me to see her claim that confounded Grenada over the world," he hesitatingly; "And do you think--you think--that she cares for me?" "I think she does," said the Girton Gri, as she lifted her mask. "Madge!" said Jack. (Copyright by Joseph B. Bowles.) THE MAN DRESSMAKER. Wonderful Creature Before Whom Great Ladies and Spoiled Actresses Allike Bow. Paris has a man dressmaker, and he is no ordinary creature, according to the Woman's Home Companion. He is a slim young man with a long nose and big, winsome eyes. Wearing a gray jacket, coat and paten leather shoes—he is covered and perfumed—he is more than a man; he is a dressmaker. He is saturated with dandyism. It is not of an offensive kind. His manners are a strange mixture of humility and insolence, for he is at once a salesman and an artist. And he talks, talks, talks—bending his slim body into pale curves—gests, rolls his eyes in white hands—rolling his eyes in their painted orbits, the while he fumbles silks and velvetts and satins and lace and wool. The mere man who comes into a dressmaker's shop of an afternoon—in Paris no one goes to the dressmaker's save only in the afternoon—begins by sneering at this fantastic creature. That mood does not last long. Contempt gives way to admiration. There is something marvelous in the way this lord of lace and ribbon dominates the women—the royal highness as well as the spotted actress. He is charming; he is frivolous. Then of a sudden his face darkens; he becomes serious; he stares at her royal highness, studying her form from head to foot; he smiles his brow, and cries despairingly: "No, no! I can't see you in that gown to day; I can't see you in any gown—I will study—in inspiration will come—you must wait." And royalty goes away flattered, she knows not why. "The lady has only fifty thousand." "Then the deal is off." "Stay! The girl is from Utah. Perhaps she can get another lady or two to join her in this thing." called. Speculation is unfortunately not rare among men engaged in commercial occupations. In prosperous times many such escape with their hide but in time of a panic or sharp depression in values the number of failures due to speculation increases enormously and reveals the large number of those who cannot resist the temptation to dabble in futures. We have called the Intelligence in this thing a vice, and such is the case. For the income there is hope. The other fellow sometimes cured by a wound that is not fatal, but the most part of his kind finally go down in a financial maelstrom. Well of Precautionation. The world is full of men and women who seem intelligent, who might succeed, and holding along in their little clerkship or other little routine place, because they lack power to force themselves out of precastination's rut. They expect to begin the struggle some time, but the time never comes—N. Y. Journal THE WEEKLY PRESS "When I oil the roots of hair that is getting gray, I put the oil in a thimble. I fill the thimble a quarter full. And with this I massage the entire scalp, taking care not to use the contents of the thimble. Four drops ought to 'spat the entire scalp, I part it off again, spat it again, and keep on until the hair is all done. That is the way to keep the hair from getting any grayer," asests a hair culprit, as reporter Mme. Julie D'Arcy. "I insist that women who have not pretty hair shall allow the hair to hang part of the day. I make them part it in the middle, give it a light brading, and sit with it thus for hours at a time. This gives the hair a chance to grow a little. PROPER MANICURING FIRST SOAK THE FINGERS FOR SEVERAL MOMENTS. Press Back Superfluous Skin and Shallow—Paint the Finish By following the directions laid down in this article very satisfactory results can be realized by an occasional visit to the manicurist, and a self-treatment faithfully carried out at the first step is to soak the fingers in warm water and suds of castle soap, in which have been dropped a few drops of lemon juice or a good bleach sold for the purpose. In the absence of these a few drops of lemon juice can be pressed into service as a substitute. The fingers should be soaked ten minutes, and then the nails are in good condition to commence operations. With a blunt instrument that will not wound the flesh, the skin around the base of the nails is soaked in a solution. Immediately after the nails have been freed from all superfluous skin is the moment for shaping the nails. This is done with a file, and the sen- BEFORE POLISHING SOAK THE HANDS A FEW MINUTES stable woman will follow the middle course as to the style of cutting, for Dame Fashion has her decrees in this matter. The nicest shape for the nail is oval or slightly pointed, and the almond-shaped nail is indicative of good birth.

A stunning white gown is topped off with a cut-away coat of Irish braid lace with insets of real Irish crochet. The fronts meet just over the bust, sloping away from this point to the rounded back, which curves far below the waist. A smart feature is the admirable treatment of the back which outlines the figure "I had a girl whose head was positively tore with the pompadour rats and the switches she wore. Her hair would have been nice if she had allowed it to be so, but she kept it always done up. One day she came me with a case of dull-looking hair. "Her hair was positively rusty and moth eaten. It broke off and was all out of sorts. I made her give it the sun treatment. For an hour a day she was to let it blow in the breezes. Then for another hour she was to sit with a braid hanging down on each side of her. She was to part her hair, braid it on each side, and let it go. "You must ventilate your hair more. Braid it loosely, and let it hang." pering, and much can be done by manipulation to remedy that defect. While the fingers are soft from the soaking, they should be pressed in the manner indicated in one of the illustrations, and the fingers will soon assume a more tapering contour, and the nails become "almond" in form.

The nails are now ready to be polished and a good cream, probably of rose tint, is first rubbed in. In some rare cases the nail is so rough that the white cream is preferable for this purpose. Let the cream remain a few seconds to be absorbed, and then with an old polish covered with nail powder polish till the surface shines satisfactorily. After this, dip the fingers again in the warm water to rinse off the cream and dull it momentarily, requiring only a vigorous rub with a clean buffer on a white powder, or the palm of the hand, which cannot be improved upon as a buffer. A Good Fit Be very particular as to the fit of your cuffs and any long sleeve you may wear. A baggy wristband and neckband betrays the little dress-maker at once.

The edge of the jacket is finished with wheels of lace. The sleeve is very short, reaching just above the elbow.

On Eve of Leaving Washington in Despair His Chance Came—Clever Remark That Ginched Position. "Speaking about the fortuitous and unseen events in life which oftimes appear to control our destinies and certainly do control our movements for better or worse, I am reminded of a little story of Washington life," said an official who occupies a position on the upper line of government preference to a group of correspondents who were exchanging similar stories in one of the committee rooms of the capitol. "Several years ago I came to Washington looking for a political position, which at that time was not so very difficult to get with good backing. This I had, but it seemed as though fate was against me in everything I attempted. I was turned down all along the line, and though I was finally willing to take a position of less degree than the one I had originally sought, as used to be the case here, as old timers will recall, I failed with equal regularity to secure even so much as a look in anywhere. There was one position close to the head of one of the departments which I was particularly desirous of obtaining. A friend of mine had it in his power to secure this place for him he had elected to do so, but as friends often do, he failed to recommend me. One night, discouraged and disgusted, intending to leave town, he took the next day. I stopped in the catech of one of the untown hotels for the last nightcap in the capital, though it is seldom that I indulge in the red fluid that cheers the weary and discouraged. "As I turned to pay my check my friend ran into my arms. "Here," he cried, somewhat excited, I have been chasing you from your lodgings all over town. I will admit to you now that the reason why I would not recommend you to the old man (meaning the head of the department in which I wished to obtain a foothold) was because I wished another friend of mine to have the place. He has not treated me right, so I am going to recommend you to the old man; he is upstairs now, and the decision is to be made to night. Come along, he must see you." "As a man in a trance I was led to the elevator and later found myself in the private room of the cabinet officer. He was a very blunt and outspoken man, but a square one. He listened quietly to the complimentary remarks concerning myself made by my friend, at the same time taking a book and reading me through like a book-wonder at sizing up other men. When my friend thrilled extolling my capabilities and virtuosity half of which I guiltily knew I did not possess, the great man said briefly: "You are probably the right man for the place, but I don't like your hair." "My hair—what's that got to do with my capabilities for the place?" I elaculated in astonishment. "I have a prejudice against men who part their hair in the middle," the cabinet officer rejoined with some apperity, though not unkindly. "My friend's face fell. But I had prejudice too many hard knocks to let my wits crumble to a crucial moment. I was in for defeat, perhaps, once more; but this time I kept my nerve with me. “Well, Mr. Secretary,” I answered, with equal bluntness, ‘if you had the few hairs on your head (he was very bald) that I have on mine, you, too, might care to show those left to the best advantage—that’s why I part them in the middle.” “The great man smiled, arose, extended, and bade me to come to his office next day and be sworn in, at the same time murmuring something about ‘all rules have their exceptions.’ And but for that last, sad farewell nightcap over the bar of that hotel on that fateful night I would have been grubbing the stumps out home to-day.” Spoke Up for Maryland. When Representative Mann, of Illinois, was making his pure food speech Representative Wachter, of Maryland, has had the opportunity in the center aisle on the Republican side of the house, listened intently. “I am sorry to say,” remarked Mann, “that of all the canned vegetables I have examined, those that come from Maryland are the worst and show the most adulteration.” "Don't say it so loud," he shouted at Mann. "I have here a can of peas that is reeking with adulterants," commented Mann. "Where do they come from?" asked Wachter. "Maryland," said Mann. "Well, for heaven's sake," said Wachter, "why don't you pass on to some other state for a change. Fair Warning.

BROWN Society Editor of the Chicago Record-Herald. An Arctic Luncheon Will Suggest Cool Weather—Sleigh Bells as Souvenirs and a White Menu—Nasturtium and Currant Lunch-eons—Moonlight Birthday Picnic—Invitations on Silver Paper Cresents—A Song Menu—Iced Tea as Imitation "Moonshine." When the heat of August comes on, entertaining becomes a difficult task, both for the entertainer and the entertained. The rooms of even the best ventilated houses are very apt to be hot and stuffy and an effort to keep cool is about the only amusement in which folk care to indulge. For this reason the hostess who is clever enough to arrange a cool looking entertainment—one which chases away the menace of the crowd and heat—is a joy forever to her friends. Such a hostess may find this "arctic" luncheon an inviting and original August entertainment. If the hostess is fortunate enough to possess one of the bread, roomy verandas with which many of the modern houses are blessed, or a great lawn, the luncheon may be served on either, but if she must seek her dining room, the house can be made to look quite wintry with the aid of cotton batting brinkled with diamond dust, a decoration of imitation snowballs and the use of much pure white. For the table use as a centerpiece a block of ice in which flowers of the month have been frozen. This will rise from an arrangement of the dust-bespinkled batter or of pure white flowers. On the very top of the table, a white pole, bearing a white flag on the pole, been printed "north pole." Catch on a narrow white ribbons as there are guests to the top of the flag pole and run to the covers, the souvenir place card of tiny polar bears, miniature arc overshoes, snowshoes, skis, sliders, sleigh bells and everything bearing upon winter, being attached to the other ends of the ribbons. The menu for this luncheon of course must be in pure white, or as nearly so as possible. Iced muskmelon for the first course be loured bourbon or bouillon with whipped cream; roast chicken served in a platter dressed with rice; potato snow-which is a very "snowy" arrangement of mashed potatoes; or cabbage or apple snow or white asparagus; cabbage or apple snow; the cream or apple snow with whipped cream snow cake and coffee frape. Serve frozen pineapple with the chicken course, the object being to serve as many "frozen" dishes as possible. The nasturtium has grown to be one of the most popular flowers in America. Easily grown in almost any climate, happy in coloring, lending itself readily to decoration and pretty for every occasion, the flower has become a favorite with every home gardener. For a nasturtium luncheon the color scheme should be in bright yellow and the red-gold of the flower. The table should be laid in pure white or in yellow and white, using the yellow flowers. These worked in nasturtiums to be preferred of course. Over the cloth the flowers may be arranged carelessly or may be arranged in wreath fashion, using the smaller green leaves also. For the center of the table use one of the great flower baskets which has the tall handle. Tie ribbons of red and gold or yellow in a broad bow on the handle and fill the basket with the flowers and their leaves. Small reproductions of the centerpiece may be used as place cards. For the menu, open the luncheon with sliced yellow peaches, piped with cream and served on a bed of the flowers. Next may come sweetbreads, with fancy potsauces on the flowers or with cream potsauces on the cob or creamed, and orange juice may follow. Nasturtium salad and warms may be used as the next course. For the desert, serve a gelatine mold in which has been frozen sliced oranges, candied cherries and a single nasturtium. This should be served on a dish hand-painted in nasturtiums or on one outlined in these flowers. For the drink, serve egg lemonade, ice tea or coffee frappe. Few hostesses realize how pretty the small fruits lend themselves to decoration. For instance, take the currant. With its rich, glassy red against the green and its crisp stems, it is one of the most attractive productions of a fruit that can lighten a low mound of the currants on the table. For a centerpiece and use the regular cards, painted in currants, for the place cards. Broad red ribbons running diagonally across the table and ending in a large drooping bow, is effective. For the first course serve currants on the stem, with a tiny paper cup of the currants in the red scheme must be carried out in the michelon. Tomato boulbon with whipped baked salmon, creamed chicken with red beets, radishes, potatoes and the regular relishes for the solid course, followed by chopped cherry salad. Finally, current ice and cherry phosphate with currant drops for bon bons. The hostess whose birthday comes along in August is not as fortunate as bthers of the year. August brings the moonstone, with all kinds of promises for conjugal felicity, but little beauty in the gem itself. The stone gives little meaning and for this reason the hostess who really desires to follow a birthday plan ```markdown ``` Nasturtium Luncheon. Currant Luncheon. for August finds herself rather hard-pressed for ideas. The very best and most enjoyable of summer entertainments for young people may be turned to good account right here, however, and a moonlight picnic may be planned. If the home is a nice room, a number and row to a nice, grassy spot, which may have been selected previously. If, however, a drive must be taken to the woods or a lake, get tallyhos and the drive will be as much fun to the young people as the picnic itself. The invitation to the affair may be written on a crescent of silver paper and slipped into a small notebook (to be picked up for a song in the stores) run through instead of using the seal or gum. The regular picnic luncheon must be prepared, of course, and plenty of it, too. A menu in the shape of a cat, on which is written "Moonlight Singers" or "Voices of the Night," or some such thing, may serve the double purpose of a picnic and of singing cards are desired. The inevitable picnic chicken may be designated as "The Darkies' Dream." "Merrily We Roll Along" may mean eggs, boiled or deviled; "Dreamland" or "Good Night, Ladies," may mean salad and so on down the list of eatables, the night songs may be worked out in the menu. Instead of lemonade, serve ice tea, or a cup of Imitation Moonshine. After the supper, a dancer or the ordinary picnic games and follow, after the dampness of the evening comes on, by gathering about a small bonfire and telling stories or singing songs. TWO FLAGS DISPLAYED. "I was in Richmond, Va., during the visits of two presidents," said a New Yorker who travels as a matter of business, "and what struck me as most noticeable was the display of flags. There was some difference in the conditions environing the visitors, for one was alive and the other was dead. The live one was President Roosevelt, of the United States, the other was President Davis, of the Confederate States. The other day when President Roosevelt was there I don't think I ever saw so many Star Spangled Banners on exhibition at one time. The American flag was everywhere—in windows and in them, in the hands of children by the thousand; on the heads of horses, on carriages on every flagpole, permanent and for every occasion, everywhere that a flag could be run up to flaunt its glories in the breeze, there it was. The very atmosphere was flaggy, and it was a flag that years ago was a hoodoo-in the town. But times change and we change with them, all the better for us—as a rule. "The other presidential visit occurred when I happened to be in the capital of the late C. S. A., and was the occasion of the burial of President Davis in the beautiful cemetery of Hollywood. The first interment had been at his home in Mississippi, but the Virginians wanted the body removed to Richmond, and they secured permission from the family to have it reinterred there. Mr. Davis never enjoyed such popularity among the people of the confederacy as President Virginias among the people of the reunited States, but the Virginians turned out in force that day to give him fitting sequestration, and suppose it was one of the greatest Richmond has known. And there was a tremendous flag display, but not of the Star SSspangled Banner. Everywhere the Stars and Bars floated in the breeze. "Big flags and little flags, and all the various flags that the confederacy had adopted, officially and popularly, with thousands of flag badges that everybody wore. I know I was not in sympathy with the rebellion, but that day I wore a badge of the red, white and red, bearing a picture of the former president bordered with black. It has been ten or a dozen years since that day—I forget the date and my memory is not very sharp—but I do my Stripes exegete a single Stars and Stripes exegete a borne by some of the military companies, and they were not flaunted with. I was not a Stars and Stripes day, and the flag of the lost cause was given full liberty to do all the floating and flaunting. I am sure that never in all the history of the confederacy were there as many of its flags visible at one time as on the day of the burial of Jefferson Davis in the city which had been the capital of the government which knew no other chief than himself. But the flag meant nothing more than a memory, and among the many I talked to I heard only the opinion that, with this final recognition of their one-time leader, the end red must be beaten, and the red, white and red must be forever to give place to the red, white Judging from the display of Old Glory in Richmond during President Roosevelt's visit, I guess the Virginians meant what they said." It Sounded Familiar. George Y. Wallace, president of the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone company, and one of the best known residents of Salt Lake, tells this as the latest telephone story: In a certain Western central office one "hello" girl was always late in arriving in the morning. Time and again the manager had pleaded with her to be more prompt. Her tardiness continued until he was moved to desperate methods "Now, Miss Jones," he said one morning, as he came to her exchange with a package in his hand, "I have a little scheme which I hope will enable you to arrive at the office on time. Here is a fine alarm clock for you. Promise me that you will use it." The young woman promised, and accordingly set the alarm for the proper hour when she retired that night. At seven o'clock there was a tremendous whirring from the alarm clock. The sleepy "hello" girl rolled over in bed and said, sweetly, and still asleep: "Line busy; call again!"—N. Y. Tribune THE STATE OF NEW YORK Why Was It Built to the Edge of the Cliff? THE CITY OF NEW YORK THE STATE OF NEW YORK The town of Funchal, in the Madera islands, is a town with no horses and no wheeled vehicles. In traveling about one either drives in a sledge carried by a hammock. The streets are narrow and a smooth smooth cobbles, and from the first it was found that runners were better than wheels, Why Was It Precisely why the town of Bonfacio, In Corsica, is built to the sheer edge of the cliff which forms the sea frontage of that part of the island is a question always asked by the trafeller who views Bonfacio for the first time, and he reiterates his question when he observes, upon visiting the environs of the place, that there is A TO BE SHOT TO-MORROW TO BE SHOT TO-MORROW In a picture of a man in a Mexican criminal case, she shoots "to-morrow." The scene is the district prison at Clujan Jesu, a little Mexican town opposite El Paso, Tex. In all these half-breasted tropical countries from Arizona to Patagonia, the professional politician, and soldier becomes injured to danger and thinks nothing of joining a fresh revolution once a week or a month. The soldier sentenced to death for treason, stealing news or winking at another man's sweetheart, he simply lights a fresh cigarette and sets his wits to work devising schemes for escape and starting a fresh revolt. Observe the placid countenance of the woman with the big black shawl seated just outside the cage. She looks like one of those women you see at Coney Island getting rich on popcorn. She looks like a child, would little dream that she is the condemned man's mother. She knows he is to be shot on the morrow, but both of them are taking life easy and occasionally say bood-by. A DISAPPOINTED MAN. Legislator Was Looking for at Least Five Dollars. "Didn't your son Jim run for the legislature last fall?" was asked of the old farmer by the village mer- chant after his butter had been welghed and his eggs counted out. "Yes, and he was elected, too," was the answer. "And how have things gone with him at the capital?" "Mighty poor." THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK IS SUPPLIED BY THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK. both for speed and comfort. For instance, when you come to a hill the oxen draw your sled to the top and are then unhitched; your driver then proceeds to toboggan your conveyance gently down the other side, while the oxen are behind. Horses are not available in France. You can obtain the cobblestone, roads would seem grain. Built to the Edge plenty of room for the town to have spread out in an inland direction. The early Corsican apparently thought that farm land was worth more than city real estate, and so crowded their dwellings to the dizzy edge of their 200-foot precipice. One's first impression is that these houses, with their walls on a vertical plane with the cliff, were purposefully so Land Elevator Afi A Land Elevator Afloat "Hasn't be caught on?" "Somehow he ha'n't, and he's a disappointed man. He was home for over Sunday, and he said he almost wished he hadn't run for the place." "What did he say seemed to be the matter?" continued the merchant as he measured off five yards of calco warranted not to fade. "Why, the only feller that has come to Jim and asked him to vote again the railroad bill up in the house talked for three long hours, and then only left five nickel cigars behind him their feet. This is why the ox, with his flexible hoof, is the draught animal of Funchal. For expirations into the country the hamrock is used. This is slung on a hamrock on the shoulders of two men, and on the most comfortable conveyance in the world—no jar and no jar need to guide it. of the Cliff? situated that the body of a victim or a dark vendetta murder might be conveniently dropped out of a window into the sea beneath, with no one the wiser. Certainly there is a suggestion of romance and mystery in the aspect of the town as shown from the viewpoint of the photograph. It forms, at any rate, one of the oddest sky lines in the world. And here is still another curious freak place. The big grain elevator seems afloat in the waters of the inland sea, Lake Superior. A chain of immense grain elevators lines the river front at the Canadian town of Fort William, standing at the head of Lake Superior. Through this deep, clear flood passes most of the export wheat of the Canadian Northwest bound for Europe. One of these elevators, known as the "Ogive," suddenly collapsed recently. Construction by engineers showed that the foundations, owing to the action of the water, become weakened and over went the elevator—that is, it toppled to one side, like the leaning tower of Pisa. Probably another such an accident could not be found in the whole world. One could scarcely believe that such an enormous building with a tremendous weight pressing in every part of the fall partly over and there rest without falling into ruin. As one corner of the building is buried in the water, it looks like a part of some great ark with her nose pointing to deep water. THE NEW YORK TIMES when he went away. Jim was lookin' for at least $5 in cash, and he was so disgusted about it that he went and introduced a bill that no one should fish for suckers in the waters of this state in the months of July and August."—Washington Post. Lydia—"I'm just as mad as I can be with Charlie. He kissed me right before all the girls." Georgette—"Well, isn't that better than if he had kissed all the girls before you?" Between Stenographers. BY MAYNE LINDSAY. The plate on the door told that inside was the office of L. Grieg and M. Brakespear; and went on to say that they were stenographers. It did not look as if many people called. Perhaps that was the reason that the girl in black who was climbing the narrow staircase on the atticroom in question did not exhibit any symptoms of haste; but tooled up wearly, one hand on the banister, and the other holding a notebook. The June sun streamed in at the curtainless window. The room was very small, and it was filled with office furniture and litter. The only things that relieved the sordid aspect were a couple of red roses in a tumbler—drooping, poor things, in that stuff atmosphere—and the face of a girl who was clicking off a letter on the typewriter. The clear-cut features and wistful gray eyes were almost baited, though certain lines about the face, and here were omnious blue shadows under the eyes. "Well, did you take Snuffy's letters?" The girl in black ladd her notebook upon a table and dropped into a chain before she answered. She, too, was thin, and looked badly nourished, but there was a defiant squareness about her mouth and chin that counterbalanced the weary eyes and palid face. "Yes—four. And he kept me waiting three-quarters of an hour before he came in to give them. Lilla, of all our respected clients I do think I hate Snuffy most." "My dear girl, I never look at the beast. . . But as a matter of fact I much prefer Snuffy to Mr. Simeon. His unctuous politeness, and his way of leaning over one while he dicates, with the general flavor of hair oil and rings there is about the man make me feel quite sick." "Ah!" The girl in black looked thoughtful. "If you like, I will take all Mr. Simeon's work in the future. We can arrange somehow." "I really does not matter. It's all supposed to diecipline of life. I suppose. They're mostly like that, or screws like Snuffy. And one must make a liking." "Must one? I don't think so. That's only our egotistical way of looking at things. Now, a little charcoal and some brown paper pasted over the chimney would be much less expensive and would rid the world of a pair of superfluous women." The other girl was fixing a sheet of paper in the typewriter. She stopped suddenly, wheeled round, and gave her friend a long, critical glance. "You've had no lunch." "I admit the soft impeachment. To tell the truth, I didn't feel like eating." "Therefore you come back at three p. m. and make morbid emarks. . . . I've just to finish this specification for Mr. Axworthy, and in the meantime you might make tea. By-the-bye, I wish you wouldn't keep the methylated spirit in the ink bottle." "I always had a soul above detail. Yes—I think a cup of tea would do me good." "There." The girl at the typewriter pulled out the last sheet with a rattle and tossed it down upon the others. "Thank goodness, that's done. And now, my dear Mildred, for tea." They pulled their chairs toward the table, and the girl in black poured out the tea. "Milk?" "No, there isn't any to-day. I could not climb up and down those stairs again. I'm sorry, Lilia; but life is full of disappointments." "Oh, it doesn't matter." She slipped the tea, and her eyes, too, sought tye blue outside. "What a perfect day this would be in the country! Can't June grows in June. I believe—rises, I mean—not things you buy out of a basket for a penny. They grow on dear old walls, and straggling flower beds, and you smell them when you look out of your window in the morning. You go out after breakfast in a large hatch and a pair of old gloves, and snap them off and stick them in China bowls. I am beginning to think that I must have dreamed all that." "I have had dreams, too, but they are misty now. They were not atogether pleasant. In fact their general tone was one of feeling before buchers, and tendering scornful grocers peace-offering on account. Likewise the turning of last summer's dress, so hard did it go to church. Now I don't go to church, and I lavished the time to turn my dresses. The weeks come and the weeks go, and I spend them—here." She looked round the room. "Lilla, what do you suppose we shall do when we are old?" "Die, of course!" "Oh, no; people never die when they want to. They go on living, and then agonize out at some very inconvenient time. You can't die to order—unless—" "Don't—Yes, I suppose that is so. WHEN IS IT NOON? Conflicting Precedents Established as to Just When Is the Legal Moment. The courts of several states have dealt with an odd question, none of them agreeing upon a similar answer. When is it legally noon? Fire insurance policies expire at noon and the word is admitted to mean exactly 12 o'clock, midday. But standard time has not been adopted in all communities. Many small towns cling to time, which may be from a few minutes to nearly an hour earlier than standard. In one state a fire occurred at two minutes past noon, sun time, and the insurance company, that the policy had expired before the fire, time is used in that town, but the insured sued the company, holding that local customs did not rule the policy and that he was entitled to his insurance. The state courts sustained him. In another state a similar contention was taken to the courts and just It must be, or I should have died two years ago." "You mean—" "I mean when Alec's letters stopped, and father died, and everything went wrong all at once. I have an idea I prayed to die then, and being young and foolish really expected a little private pestilence to be furnished on my back. The girl in black replenished her friend's teacup and drained the pot into her own. Then she said: "Your experience is wider than mine. You have had the privilege of loving and being loved. Now, that never came to me, for I was born to this life like a thousand other girls around us. We go straight from school to office, and if we have romances they are connected with a pasty-faced youth behind a counter, or worse, far worse than that—with the man, Simon's friend. Personally, I never was an love, and I don't know the feeling." "I thought love was the rule in life." "Not for the superfluous woman. She is better without what is folsted upon her for the article. She has so little chance of the real. Ah, Lilia, I envy you your generous heart, my dear, and your brave lover! It must be something to feel that there are nobler passions in life than hunger and jealousy and hate. The constant way of putting it; it is something—no, it is everything. It is the one thing that is pure and unselfish, the one thing that we give away freely, and are glad when it costs us much. Mildred, I have it in my heart to-day to be glad—in spite of these two years of nope-lessness, in spite of the ache that never leaves me, and the sick longing for sight and touch—to be glad that I loved my boy. When his letters stopped and they said the ship was lost, I might have knew all the bitterness of life. But I could not because all I have suffered has been tempered by the thought that we loved each other. Alive or dead, we love each other still." The girl in black had flushed, and she did not move for a minute or two. The other gathered the tea things together and began to tuck biscuit-tin and kettle away in their dusty corner— "Helg-ho!" she said. "We both have to fight. Let us thank God we can see the humor of it. To me, now, there is something very quaint in your tea-making. "I was thinking too hard of things in general, I suppose—a trick of mine. And, indeed, I know it, for I have forgotten to tell you that there is a letter for you on the mantlepiece. It came in just as I was starting out to work. Lilia turned to the mantelpiece, and the girl in black opened her notebook and ran a pencil up and down the lines of short-hand, reading it to herself in an undertone. An exclamation made her look up. Her friend had turned round to her and standing with her head thrown back very quiet and pale, and with a glory that was not that of the evening sun shining in her face. "It is a miracle," she said, "a God-given miracle!" "What is it. Lilla?" "And I thought that happiness had shut its doors on me! When hope was gone, and—there was only Heaven a long way away—too far to see—and now it is here. In my hand!" "Lilla, you look like a sleepwalker. Tell me what it is." "Only this, Mildred." She thrust the letter into her hands. "Only a story that one sees in books and never hopes Shipperwecked, but not drowned; washed, washed through scurry and loneliness, horror, and now back again in a homeward bound ship, and soon to be in America. Oh, my love, my loyals!" The girl in black read the letter through and stared long at her companion. Lilla had sunk into a chair, and the kindly tears had come and were running down her face. "If there is anyone to thank, I thank him now, Lilla, for your sake. It is most beautiful—and most strange. the man who wrote that letter is a lonely girl, years ago, in years—or a lifetime. And for you, you are worth a dozen shipperwives." "Oh, how wonderful this happiness is," said Lilla through her tears. "That it should come to me and change the current of existence on the instant! How could one die of joy? I am alive now, and I have been half-dead for so long that I do not know the world about me. Why, this new life is different to what I thought it—how many minutes ago?" The girl in black turned quietly away and walked the chimney pets. The noise of the streets surged up plainly to her ear, and the little room felt hot and stifling. "No," she said, softly, "this life has not altered, and it will not alter. You are the exception." (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) the opposite decision given.

On their arrival, a short time before dinner hour, he suggested that in the interval of waiting his friends would perhaps like to walk through the grounds. After spending about a quarter of an hour in admiring the flowers, shrubs and greenhouses, they suddenly came up in the garden wall. "Ah," the bishop to his astonished guests, "this is so much nearer way for you to go home than by going to the front," and forgetting his invitation, he opened the door and bowed them out.

All summer the carpenters and painters have been busy for the opening at the Star and this evening this handsome play house will throw open its doors to the public. The inside has been redecorated, both lobby and auditorium and a number of new lodges have been added to the seating capacity. Manager Van Roo assures the patrons of burlesque a season of worthy attractions and the first one is one of the leaders in this line of entertainment as the management has secured a company of capable funmakers and an excellent chorus with a number of novel vaudeville features—the "Merrymakers" and local amusement seekers will have an excellent opportunity of seeing one of the best burlesque troupes on the circuit to-day. The "Merrymakers" not alone live up to their name, but do more. They gladden the heart and eye and leave the impression that the gamut of stage entertainment has not yet been reached. With a lively and humorous opening part called "Running For Mayor" in one scene an anloi that can bear muster with any acts on the boards to-day follows. A glance at the appended list of "turns" will give the theatrical prognosis of what to store for them: First, there are the Ellon-Polo Troupe of aerial artists. This troupe is composed of three men who perform in a manner that is as mystifying as is thrilling. They express the most difficult feats in the company, the most difficult in the other and all told defy the laws of gravity with impunity. Next comes the Clipper Comedy Four, a quartette who are strictly up-to-ocean in an介湿 mixture of singing, buffoonery and legitimate comedy. Miss Jenette Young, a pleasing soprano in operatic selections, Nelson, Milledge, Strause and company in a mifurthful yet particularly refined sketch called "Simon the Butler"; Miss Grace Patton, a soubrette, chic, clever and sprightly and last but not least the Les Sprays, Australian whirlwind dancers. This is a real European novelty, appearing in America for the first time. As a fitting conclusion to an incomparable show "A Politician's Vacation" is offered. All the members of the company take part in this entertaining skit and fun is rampant from start to finish. The chorus is seen to fine advantage and the musical numbers, stage business and effects are strictly up to the standard. WILLS' LUNCH AND SANDWICH ROOM. J. S.
