NO BLONDES IN 600 SO SAYS Finish of the Reign of the Doleful Prophec Pity the man who lives in the year 2507, or thereafter. His knowledge of feminine beauty will be confined exclusively to the brunette. Speak to him of "blonde" and he will either ask "What is that?" or should he be an unusually well-educated man, with a knowledge of antiquity, he will recall the golden haired woman as something that passed out of existence centuries before, and rated with the dodo, auk and other extinct animals. This prognostication of a pathetic condition of the future is based on the recent statement of Prof. C. E. Woodruff of Plattsburg, an erudite student, who sees necessity to sadden the new year with a public avowal that blondes are becoming extinct. "In six hundred years," he said, "the last blonde will only be a memory, and there is no chance that the type will repeat itself." The professor is perhaps right that real blondes are becoming fewer, but the trouble is to tell which are those of art. The educated peroxide bottle does its beautifying work so skillfully that no one but a jealous woman can with certainty tell the real from the imitation. If you look at the chorus of the burlesque and light operas, the prediction of the professor appears humorous, for every woman on the stage is a glorious blonde. But on the stage they have to be, for as one talented actress (herself a blonde) put it: "If they didn't have the cute golden haired little things in the chorus the men above fifty years couldn't be dragged to the theater." Six hundred years! Is not the time too-short to wipe out VIRGINIA THE THE FILM OF "THE WOMAN IN THE HAT" BY JOHN H. HARRISON, WITH A PHOTOGRAPH BY J. H. HARRISON. the blonde? Trusting to unaided memory, it would seem that Lillian Russell had been with us that long, or pretty nearly, and she is still with us, still young, her beauty undimmed and her mass of hair just as perfectly golden as when long ago she first appeared at Tony Pastor's and laid the foundation of her popularity. And Lillian's beauty is not all on the stage. The picture is just as flawless off the boards. This prima donna is a perfect argument against the theory that blonde beauty is short lived, in comparison to the brunette pulchritude. Mme. Gadski holds up the standard of blonde attractiveness at the Metropolitan opera house, New York. Her career has not had half the length of that of Miss Russell, but she is a fine specimen of the best type of German blonde. Effie Shannon is not a newcomer on the boards, but she is just as perfect a blonde as in the old days when, with Fritz Williams in the juvenile roles, she was the talented ingenuue of Daniel Frohman's magnificent Lyceum Theater company. Little Della Fox got the credit of being a blonde, but suspicions have always existed that perhaps her locks were not always the exact shade which nature intended them to be. No such doubt existed on the subject of Virginia Harned. This superb creature, an Irish blonde, the wife of E. H. Sothern, has always ranked as ```markdown ``` VOL. 23. NO. 6. Six hundred years! one of the prime beauties, among those whose hair had been sun-kissed into golden. Nor has any critic dared to insinuate that May Irwin, the rollicking, buxom queen of the coon song did not exploit herself in her own natural locks. Paula Edwards and Louise Dresser are other excellent examples of the type that will see its finish six hundred years hence. Society has its share, as well as the THE WORLD'S FINEST MUSICIAN A THE APPEA PAULA A. EDWARDS ```markdown ``` stage, though it must be admitted that the number is growing less. In New York one of the most boast ed blondes is Mrs. Alfred Vanderbilt who was Miss Elsie French. Miss Marie D'Acosta, the handsome sister of Mrs. Phillip Lydig, is usually spoken of as a blonde, because she is much lighter than her sisters, but as a matter of fact she can hardly be said to represent the perfect type. One of Newport's younger queens, the beautiful Mrs. Edward Moore Robinson of Philadelphia, undoubtedly owes her reputation for beauty to a wonderful head of blonde hair, which is always faultlessly marcelled. Evelyn Howell is another noted Quaker City blonde. Aristocratic Boston society numbers many blondes, the frequency of the type seeming to increase as one gets North. Nord. Even those who hold that Prof. Woodruff is mistaken in predicting the finish of the blonde must admit that some of the things he says are born out by the facts. Undoubtedly the blonde type of beauty is most ephemeral than the brunette. Miss Russell has kept her perfect appearance marvelously, it is true, and looks as well now as she did two decades ago, but it must be remembered that she is a mistress in the art of remaining beautiful, and has made a most exhaustive study of that science. What she has done is not possible to the average woman unconnected with the stage or society. Take a blonde and brunette in the ordinary walks of life, who make no special effort to preserve their charms, and it will be found that long after the blonde has passed into the sere and yellow, the brunette will still be in her zenith. There is something about the blonde type that demands a perfect skin as an accomplishment. Unless the cheeks are rosy red, the eyes exquisite blue, and the whole complexion that of freshness and creamy softness, the blonde hair is a disfigurement, not a charm. With the brunette the result is different. A mass of magnificent black hair has a beauty not to be denied, a beauty that has its effect, no matter what the remainder of the appearance may be. Is the blonde to pass? Let us hope not. If for no other reason than because of the blow it would give the stage manager, if in arranging his stage pictures he could not count on the beauty of contrast that comes from playing his brunettes against his blondes in the dazzling evolution of the march and dance. Defective Page King Peter waded to his throne through blood. The fear that he will leave it by an equally gory route makes Servia's ruler the most unhappy monarch of Europe to-day. For three years in succession he has suffered all the agonies of a man condemned to death in the days immediately preceding each June 11th. This is the anniversary of the assassination of King Alexander and Queen Draga. The superstitions and fatalistic temperament of the Servians would make an anniversary seem to them the most appropriate time to end a dynasty. King Peter has successfully passed June 11th three times, but there is no comfort in this fact for the sorely pressed Karageorgevitch, for now the people are becoming impatient, and every day has become a virtual June 11th and the dread of assassination is a peril that never leaves the mind of the king, day or night. That his fears are most real is well illustrated by the fact that a comparatively unimportant matter, a lone bill involving only a small sum, was sufficient to stir Belgrade to revolt only a few days ago. Peter, placed between two fires, dare neither approve nor veto the bill, and while it lay on his desk the citizens gathered in the court yard of the palace crying, "Long live Alexander! Long live the republic! Down with Peter!" This outburst but fairly expresses the hatred felt toward King Peter. One of his first acts upon assuming the scepter was to remove his name from the list of persons marked for execution the moment they were caught in Servia. During the reign of Alexander, Prince Peter, as one of the hated line of Karageorgevitch, was an exile. He came back to his native country to assume its highest place, and was welcomed by the people, who, weared by the imbecilities of Alexander and the offendings against morality on the part of his queen, the infamous Draga, welcomed the idea of a ruler whose personal life was blameless, and who, it was believed, would restore material prosperity to the country. KING PETER OF SERVIA. King Peter, then fifty-eight years old, might have succeeded but for his unfortunate alliance with the regicides, who had made his accession to the throne possible. If Peter had been innocent of any complicity in the taking-off of the unhappy king and queen he could have made an auspicious start by vigorously visiting justice on the guilty. But unfortunately for the new monarch, it is established beyond a chance of doubt that he knew in advance of the contemplated descent on the palace, and promised full immunity, should he become king, to all who were concerned in the deed of blood. It is even said that the military commander who led the assault forced him to sign a paper to this effect. Thus at the very start of his reign he was compelled to permit leaders of the regicides to hold prominent and ostentatious place at his court. They had the king completely in their power, and knew it. From the time he wore a crown until the present day Peter has never dared make a move without the knowledge and approval of the murderers. Unable to do this Peter saw himself alone. Peter would gladly withdraw from the care of state had he but the naming of his successor. From the first he desired the throne less for himself than for Prince George, his son. Prince George's chance to mount to the throne is hardly an even one. There are several other pretenders. Prince Nichblas of Montenegro is immensely popular with the Servian people, and has a strong following among those who think he would make an ideal ruler. There is also a strong chance for a republic. Russia's influence in Servia has always been very strong, and in the event of any disaster to the present ruler, the czar might desire to name a Muscovite successor. Emperor William of Germany is also known to cast a longing eye at Peter's throne, as a suitable chance for one of his sons to exercise an important administrative office. Thus, if Peter stepped down from PRINCE NICHOLAS I., Montenegro, Strongest Claimant to Servian Throne. the throne, he has no assurance that his son would succeed. Nor has this son, idolized as he is by his father, been a source of unalloyed joy to Peter. Indeed, he has been indirectly the cause of much of the abuse cast upon the ruler. A doctor who examined the lad pronounced him a weakling, almost a degenerate, who would be an easy victim for a forceful woman. The woman in the case was not long in appearing. She was an actress, Mademoiselle Dechanska. From all that is known of the lady, she was entirely blameless, and held a high place as one of the best actresses at the Royal theater. Being a native of Belgrade, she had an immense popularity, and the people really approved when it became noised around that the crown prince had fallen a victim to her charms. But the attachment suggested a different picture to King Peter. He instantly recalled the baneful influence Draga had wielded over his predecessor, King Alexander. Resolved at all hazards to prevent a recurrence of this incident, he ordered Mademoiselle Dechanska to quit Belgrade. She did so and went abroad. Shortly after this she was found murdered, and the suspicious Servians immediately leaped to the damning conclusion that King Peter had been the instigator of her death. King Peter vehemently denied the charge, but never succeeded in convincing his people. The storm of hatred that rages around his august head has forced King Peter to extraordinary precautions to increase his personal safety. He rarely leaves his guarded palace, and will not eat unless his food has first been tasted by some one else. At all times he has near him a supply of dynamit bombs. He carries them in his carriage when driving, and keeps them in his office desk in the shape of match boxes, cigar holders and the like. Moreover, he never goes to sleep without bombs being laid conveniently close to his bed. No crowned head in Europe, not even excepting the czar or the Turk- QUEEN NATALIE OF SERbia QUEEN NATALIE OF SERVIA, Who Lives Only to Avenge Her Son's Murder. ish sultan, has ever rested on a more uneasy pillow. Most regicides have been the acts of individuals, but the killing of Alexander and his consort was the act of officials charged with the duty of safeguarding them. It was planned months ahead, and was executed so ruthlessly that twenty-two lives were sacrificed to take the two most desired. If King Peter loses his throne, by abdication or assassination, the prophecies of the Servian peasant, Matheas, of Kremna, will have had absolute fulfilment. On June 10, 1868, this man rushed wildly into the streets of a town many miles from Belgrade, shouting that Oberenovitch, then ruler of Servia, was being assassinated. This assertion, which could only have been based on intuition, proved to be correct, and as a result Matheas was looked upon as being a sage. Subsequently he predicted the accession of King Milan, his unhappy marriage, his abdication, his death in a foreign country, and the succession and terrible fate of King Alexander. All these came absolutely true. The prophecy respecting King Peter was thus: "He (Alexander) will be replaced on the throne by Peter Kara georgevitch, who will reign about three years, and then also disappear." There is yet time for the fulfilment of the predition. PLANTING TREES FOR TIES. Railroads Providing for Day When Forests Age Gone. The most perishable of the factors that enter into a railroad's "maintenance of way" accounts, the ties, are in modern practice reckoned for furthest ahead, says the New York Times. The Atchison is the latest road to adopt the plan of growing its own ties, which means that about twenty years from now the construction department will be cutting its own timber, provided, of course, that in the intervening generation ties of steel or sleepers of stone or concrete after the English fashion have not come into general use. Dispatches from the West announce that the Atchison has paid $100,000 for a ranch in California containing 8,559 acres on which to grow eucalyptus trees to supply the road with ties. It takes the tree, which is a relatively rapid grower, about twenty years to arrive at a diameter large enough for the purpose and each tree will then furnish from six to eight ties. In order to give the road a continuous supply about 450 acres will be planted THE ILL-FATED QUEEN DRAGA. each year, and at the end of twenty years, when the first plantation is ready for the ax, the planting will be gin all over again. The railroads of the Middle West began the planting of the eucalyptus groves some years ago, and there are now in Kansas several such plantations of a fair growth, though none has yet reached an age sufficient for cutting. If the present rate of consumption, which has been estimated at 80,000,000 trees a year, continues, they will all be needed. THE LADY OF THE MIDDLE-SECTION ```markdown ``` WHITE HOUSE CHINA WOULD MAKE A MOST INTERESTING COLLECTION. Unfortunately the Various "Sets" Used by Successive Presidents Have Been Two Widely Scattered to Admit of This. One of the confessed hobbies of Col. William H. Crook, for 40 years executive clerk at the White House, is the presidential china. Col. Crook has made a thorough study of the White House ware, and himself possesses an interesting collection. In it is one of the Madison plates which he discovered in a second-hand store. It is a small tea plate, with a narrow gold rim edging a wider pale blue band encircled by little golden stars. A broad, blue band comes next, edged with another band of gold. In the center of the plate is a medallion, outlined in gold and filled with tiny, badly blurred gold stars. "No more interesting collection could possibly be made," said Col. Crook, "than one that would show the china used by each successive president. Unfortunately the White House has never had a curator whose duty it was to care for its furnishing, and at this late day it would be impossible to make such a collection. The existing specimens, however, are of much historic value, and should be preserved with the utmost care. "Although George and Martha Washington never lived in the White House, yet the china which they used, both at M. Vernon and at the executive mansions in Philadelphia and New York, would properly come under this heading. Luckily for posterity, more of it is still extant than of the household ware of all the other early presidents combined. That Lady Washington was a typical colonial housewife, proud of her fine linen and china, is attested by her own and Gen. Washington's wills, in which disposition is made of quantities of those things. "Most of Mrs. Washington's china descended first to her grandson, George Washington Parke Custis, and included the Cincinnati and Van Braam sets, besides many other specific pieces. By Mr. Custis it was left to the grandson, George Washington Custis Lee, the oldest son of Robert E. Lee. It will be recalled that during the civil war it was taken from the ancestral home of the Lees, at Arlington, and stored in the patent office with the other national collections. When the Arlington estate passed into the possession of the government, it, with other Washington relics, was placed on exhibition in the National museum. There it remained from 1883 until President McKinley relinquished it to Miss Mary E. Lee, in the summer of 1898. "There are to be seen in this very interesting and valuable collection many pieces of the old blue and white earthenware, some of the gold-rimmed white French china set, and many unclassified pieces. There are also more than 30 dinner plates and soup plates and numerous dishes, platters, gravy bowls, and cups and saucers which be longed to the Van Braam and Cincinnati sets." Various authorities have passed on a letter received at the post office department some time ago and it has finally been sent to the postmaster general. The letter came from a western postmaster at a small office and read: "In accordance with the rules of the department I write you to inform you that on next Saturday I will close the post office for one day, as I am going on a bear hunt. I am not asking your permission to close, and you can discharge me if you want to. But I will advise you now that I am the only d— man in the county who can read and write." It is not likely that the postmaster will be discharged. It is generally agreed among occupants of the galleries at the capitol that the most polite and accommodating member of the senate is Mr. Pettus of Alabama, aged 85. One of the most rigid rules regarding elevators in the senate wing is that they must be run to accommodate senators, no matter who the other passengers may be. Mr. Pettus never allows this rule to be enforced in his case, always instructing the man to let the other passengers off wherever they wish to alight. Alabamans Were Privileged. Gov. Elect Comer of Alabama visited the house of representatives in Washington a few days ago and was received so cordially that the resulting noise disturbed Speaker Cannon. On learning who the stranger was "Uncle Joe" waited until he had departed and then reminded Clerk Hines that under the rules governors-elect should not be admitted while the house is in session. "But then," he added, "those boys from Alabama don't know much about my rules and wouldn't believe in them if they did know." John Wesley Galanes has added a new word to the language. He spoke of some changes that were made in the Congressional Record in its report of the colloquy between himself and Representative Underwood as "interpolated penclaneous writing" in the stenographer's notes. The house grabbed "penclaneous" eagerly and adducted it as its own. HAVE YOU READ THE ADVERTIS ST. PAUL OFFICE, No. 110 Union Blk. 4th & Cedar, J. O. ADAMS, Manager.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1907. THE PECULIAR SOUTHERNER. When our southern brethren are talking politics, and amalgamation, and social equality, and other Tillmanesque clap-trap, they are always lamenting about the lazy, shiftless, trifling, no-account black southerner, because such talk is cheap and pleases the rabble. But, let some plan be inaugurated to carry away some of that labor; and, presto a change comes over the spirit of their dreams, and a terrific nightmare destroys the peacefulness of their slumbers. It has recently been intimated that the Panama canal will be dug by southern Afro-Americans; whereupon, the Little Rock Gazette lifts up its voice and cries aloud as follows: "The South will be interested to know that the Panama canal, the greatest engineering work the world has ever seen, will be built by a Southern contractor who will use Southern men as aides and assistants and that the manual labor will be done by Southern Negroes. But for some time there has been a cry in the South over the shortage of labor, and labor in the South means Negro labor. Not only is the raising of the crops hampered, but labor can- JOHN H.

Among other things, Register Verzon said: "The best men of both races must understand each other better. In a republic there can be no lord and vassal, no master and slave, no ruler and serf, but the regency of conscience in the final analysis must preserve our cherished institutions. "The best men of both races must underst republic there can be no lord and vassal, no mister, but the regnancy of conscience is the fin cherished institutions. "I am no pessimist.

There has even been talk of impotting various kinds of foreign labor to help to do the South's ever-increasing work. If Negroes are to build the Panama canal the labor shortage in the South is bound to become much more acute." One would suppose that a southern journal would rejoice aloud at a mere prospect of getting rid of the worthless, shiftless and vicious Afros, but, instead, there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth at the mere shadow of the coming event. the behavior of the Afro-American soldiers was better than that of the white." But, of course, the Ananias journals will entirely ignore this important testimony and magnify every little event to the discredit of the race as a terrible calamity.

For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain The Southern brother is peculiar. WHAT THE ANANIAS JOURNALS WON'T PRINT. A reporter of the Chicago Chronicle recently visited Ft. Sheridan to investigate the truth of the unfavorable reports respecting the Afro-American soldiers stationed there. Col. McComb, the commander made statements as follows: "As to discipline, Afro-American troops are usually better disciplined than white. They stay in the service longer, are contented and make good soldiers. They do not drink as much as white soldiers. While desertion is so common among the white troops, you hardly ever hear of an Afro-American soldier deserting. They like the service and recalcitrate almost to a man time after time as their term of enlistment expires. I have not heard of a desertion in the Ninth since I have been with the squadron. These men we have here have nearly all been in the service from ten to twenty-nine years. They have fought in Cuba, taking part in the battle of Santiago, and were in the Philippines and in the Indian wars. The Ninth cavalry fought the Sieuc in the battle of Wounded Knee. One squadron of the regiment is now at Fort Riley and the remaining one at Leavenworth. We came from Fort Jefferson, near St. Louis, you know. Citizens there spoke in high praise of the conduct of the Afro-American troops going to and from the city. The ride is about ten miles. I was often told by people riding on the same trains with them that 34438051483 CHAPLAIN T. G. STEWARD Chaplain Theophilus G.

But, of course, the Ananias journals will entirely ignore this important testimony and magnify every little event to the discredit of the race as a terrible calamity. WOULD REESTABLISH PEONAGE. The *Memphis Commercial-Appalais* gives Attorney-General Bonaparte 8 severe spanking, for reasons thus set forth: "Attorney General Bonaparte is quoted as being particularly choleric whenever he hears of a case of peonage, and as expressing extreme indignation against communities where the crime is "tolerated," declaring that "communities which tolerate peonage are about three thousand years behind our civilization and are unworthy to share in the government of a free country." He proposes to "use all the resources of his department to break up these infamous practices" and "any lukewarmness on the part of federal officials in aiding the prosecution will be visited with prompt punishment." All of which goes to prove that the favorite dream of the south is to re-establish the abominable system of peonage which was knocked in the head by the 14th and 15th amendments. Such a system was put into force by every one of the southern states, just as soon as they were whaled back into the traces, and they are longing for it now. In fact, an addleated member introduced a bill to re-establish peonage in the Arkansas legislature almost the first day it met. It is to be hoped that the Attorney-General will do his best to break up the infamous practice and that our southern brethren will cease to screen the criminals of their race as is their custom. THE APPEAL does not doubt but that Gen. Lee was a military genius, and man of engaging personality, and all that, but it does not see any reason for the people of this nation falling over each other in a scuffle to do honor to his memory. The memory of old John Brown deserves far greater honor; for he died to make men free. Angered by the premier's intimation that he admitted "incoherence" had existed in the government, but that he (Clemenceau) was not responsible, Minister Briand created a scene in the chamber of deputies by marching out and declaring his intention to resign.

One Way of Pairing Off. A number of years ago, at a small town in Maine, an important local election was to take place, and there was strong rivalry between the Republicans and Democrats. Old Hiram Morse, the blacksmith, was a strong Democrat, but many of the farmers were Republican. On the morning of the election a farmer came in to have a horse shod. The blacksmith said to him: "We're both busy. You're a Republican and I'm a Democrat. Let's pair off. We'll neither of us vote, and it will amount to the same as if we both went to the polls." This was agreed upon. After election it was found out that Morse had paired off with five Republican farmers. One Use for a Grave. William Gowdy, a nephew of John K. Gowdy, formerly consular general to Paris, is a candidate for county assessor in Rushville, Ind. Democratic leaders questioned his eligibility, arguing that he had not been a freeholder. He was required by law. Young Gowdy, hostess, proved that during the period named, he had owned half a lot in the Rushville estate, and Attorney General Miller has decided that the possession of this "six feet of earth" constitutes eligibility in the eye of the law. Clear as Daylight. She-How is it that so often the landiestest men marry the homeliest men? He-That's easy. The handsomest are in more need of money for-the other ones. He Who Has It Pulls Through, the Other Patient Dies Two men under operations of the same character in a hospital. The same surgeon does the work. The conditions are identical. Equal care is exercised in each operation and each is successfully performed. Yet one man recovers, the other dies. Or there is a tremendous business pressure which does not let up for months. It puts the men under a terrible strain. One man goes to pieces and his business is wrecked. He cannot keep the pace; he loses control of himself. His rival has no better brains than the other. He pulls through successfully. We say that there is a difference in vitality, that one man has more of it than the other. I once saw a man in a hospital who was suffering from five fatal diseases and yet he would not die. He had kept on living year after year in spite of everything. He refused to succumb. We find the same thing illustrated every day. In a shipwreck there are men who seem to give up their lives without a struggle, without any power to resist; others cling to an open raft for days without food, almost frozen, constantly whipped by the waves, but for some reason or other they survive. The vitality in them is strong. Notice how rapidly and surely one man recovers himself after a nervous breakdown, while another drags along with another, some immobile. Notice the results in a long cold dench of rain. One of them comes down with pneumonia, the other suffers no ill effects. How is it to be explained? He has a reserve somewhere—an inner power of resistance; an aggressive something that will not be downed—we call it vitality. A man can't have a more valuable asset than that. It means joy instead of dumps, instead of failure, joy, perhaps, instead of death. — World's Work. GAS MANTLES ONLY ASHES. Invention Due to the Experiments of a Vienna Chemist The gas mantle is nothing but ashes, and it is wonderful how science makes its particles cling together as long as they do. The gas mantle was invented by a chemist of Vienna. He noticed the intense light given out by a small quantity of thorium thrown into a stone in his laboratory. He realized the importance of the discovery, and in 1880 began a series of experiments to test the quality of the element in intensifying light. He found that pure thorium would not cohere well enough to be of use, and he then began searching for a combination of elements that would answer. In 1887 he produced his first mantles, but they were so delicate that they could not be transported, and were delivered by hand. A boy was trusted to carry two, one in each hand, for delivery about the streets of Vienna. In the early '90s he found that a good mantle could be made from a combination of the two substances, thorium oxide and cerium oxide, and that a coating of collodion would give a sufficient firmness to allow it to be transported. Since then gas mantles have gone into general use in nearly all parts of the world, and thousands of factories are producing them. FORGET YOUR LOST BATTLES. That Was Napoleon's Motto, and He Put It Into Practice. Napoleon the Great on one of his campaigns while, walking about the camp one night, as he was accustomed to do to discover how the soldiers were occupied, chanced to come upon a group listening to an excited speaker. Napoleon stole near to listen and found that the man was regaling his comrade in the account of battles the Napoleon had lost. "I had that fellow hanged as a traitor." Napoleon said. "Men do not win battles by the memory of the battles lost." It was perfectly true. A distinguished military officer affirmed that after troops have been beaten in a battle it took weeks to get them to fire as well as they had done before. Bad success demoralizes them. If one is continually looking back at the things one has in life one loses the power to grip what is yet within reach of one's hands. Improving Golf Balls. Golf balls are now being stuffed with gelatin. *In the early days of the game the golf ball was stuffed with feathers. This was also the ball used in playing "shinny," which is defined by an eighteenth century commentator as "an inferior species of golf, generally played by young people, and called in London hockey." The football used about the same time was more "modern, being a leather ball about as big as one's head filled with wind." Most deadly of all were the balls originally used in playing bowls, which were made of marble, and whence was derived the game of marbles. **Couldn't Hear the Call.** The late Barney Owens of Point Breeze was a David Harum type of chagater. This noted and successful horseman had a way of saying when he saw a humorous humor. To a conceived man who had failed egregiously in life Owens said one day at Point Breeze: "Well, Bill, you and I know how it is with some men. They're so busy blowing their own horns that they can never hear the factory whistle coaxing them to come to work." Steepest of Mountain Railroads. A wonderful mountain railway is being constructed in the Tyrolese Alps by a Swiss Engineer named Strubb of Clarens, near Montreux. When completed this line will achieve the European record, which has been held by the Strausberner railway, for traversing the steepest mountain slope in the world. One of Ah Sin's Tricks.

FORD'S HAIR POMADE Formally known as "OZONIZED OX MARROW" SO The Ozonized Ox Marrrow Co. (None genius without my signature) Charles Ford Park 70 Wahash Ave, Chicago, IL 70 Wahash Ave, Chicago, IL GAME ABUNDANT IN CUBA. Native Animals Few, but Varieties of Birds Number 200. Throughout Cuba game is abundant. Deer, though not native, have flourished and multiplied greatly. Rabbits are plentiful; also wild boar, so called, the wild pig, the wild dog and the wild cat of the island. Wild fowl, especially ducks and pigeons, abound the former crossing from the southern states during the winter season, while the latter remain on the island the year round. Pheasants, quail, snipe, wild turkeys and wild guinea fowl are also numerous, with several varieties of game birds, such as the perdiz, tojosas, rabiches and the guanaros. The only distinctive native animal is the juta or huntia, ratlike in appearance and black. It grows to a length of sixteen or eighteen inches, not including the tail. While eatable, it is not especially palatable. Cuba has more than 200 species of native birds, including those already mentioned as game birds, many pcessing the most beautiful plumage, but those with song are rare. In swampy localities crocodiles and American alligators (calmans) are found, and, although these frequently grow to an enormous size, but little attention is paid to them by the natives. Chameleons, small lizards, tree toads and similar harmless slurians of diminutive size are very common, while occasionally the iguanas and other large varieties of the lizard species are seen. Few varieties of snakes exist in Cuba. One of these, the maja, from ten to fourteen feet in length, is a semi domesticated replite. I touch a term may be used, for it is most frequently found about the huts, farmhouses and small villages. its favorite living place being in the palm thatches of the old buildings, while its favorite food is poultry. Another snake, named the jubo, is more vicious in disposition than the maja, although never reaching more than one-third its size. It is not poisonous. The other varieties are still smaller in size, are seldom seen and not venomous. QUEER TASTES IN EATING. Sugar on Fish and Oysters—Ripened Milk and Cheese. "There are some queer tastes seen by waiters. You know the predilection of school girls for cake and pickles. Well, I have seen that beaten often," said a Broadway waiter to the New York Press. "I've got a customer who puts sugar on white potatoes. Sugar on tomatoes and cantaloupe is pretty bad, but sugar on potatoes—ugh! "A lady customer, a corsetmaker, melts a lump of butter in her cup of tea. Could you go that? "A pugilist puts vinegar on all his meats and vegetables—vinegar on everything except his desert. This is not because he wants to reduce his weight; it is because he likes the taste. "Of course I have lots of customers who drink sour milk and eat high game and cheese—customers for whom we ripen milk and cheese and birds till the aroma of our cellar would cause a turkey buzzard to quail. "I have never seen any one put sugar on oysters, but I have seen several persons sugar their fish." MURDEROUS PERIOD IN RUSSIA. Difficult Task of Count Witte's Successor. M. Stolypin, Count Witte', successor as Russian premier, has frankly said in an interview: "The task I have before me is one which can hardly be done by any human hand." His is surely the most unenviable eminence in the world. Count Witte failed not only on account of the inherent difficulty of the task of governing Russia with the bureaucracy still in power behind him, but also because he could not command the loyalty of any party. He had made his career into intrigue, and nobody trusted him. M. Stolypin is a far better, if less astute, man. He is the only member of the old cabinet who made himself heard and respected before the douma. A Family Jar. "What's all that row in your house, Tommy?" "Why, ma's canning fruit," exclaimed Tommy, with an apprehensive glance toward the window from which poured the sound of angry voices, "and pa's a food inspector, you know, and he's trying to tell her how she ought to do her work."-Judge. The faculty with which the Russian girl sacrifices her outward appearance to her inward convictions has always amazed me. When she feels herself slightly exalted on political questions off goes her hair, with less apparent concern or serpule than the farmer shows when he cuts off the tangled mane of some old nag. The Dear Girls. Fred—"Nothing pleases a girl more than the devoted attentions of the man she loves." Tess—"Oh, yes; there is something that pleases her more." Fred—"What is it?" Tess—"The devoted attentions of the man." "What day was I born on, mother?" "Thursday, child." "Thursday, child." "Wasn't that fortunate! It's your day 'at home.'" # INCENTIVE POINT Tess —George wanted to know last night whether the roses on your cheeks were real. Bess —Well, what did you say? Tess —Nothing —I merely winked.

MILLER, ALL ROSE FROM THE RANKS. Leaders in California Pioneer Days Started as Poor Men. Started as Poor Men. Every leader rose from the ranks. Of the so-called Big Four who built the first railway over the Rockies, Huntington and Hopkins had sold pickaxes, Crocker red shirts and Stanford flour and tobacco. John W. Mackay, one of the greatest of civilization builders in both East and West, was a blaster. His three partners, Fair, Flood and O'Brien, were shirt sleeve pioneers. D. O. Mills, owner of skyscrapers, mills and hotels, paid rent for a shanty. James R. Keene, master of Wall street game, was a San Francisco proletarian. Sharon, Hearst, Tevis and Haggin, rich afterward as Roman emperors, were as first as poor as any of the goldseekers. "Lucky" Baldwin kept a livery stable. Lux and Baron, the ranch kings, were butcher boys. Senator Perkins was a sailor. Irving M. Scott, builder of the Oregon, had been a helper in a Baltimore foundry. Adolph, Sutro, the Astor of San Francisco, had been highly educated in Germany, but when California knew him first he was a needler. Some of these men, of course, stumbled into treasure holes, others became gold kings by sheer brain power and perseverance. It was half a lottery and half a race. There are few of the famous mines that have no glamour of romance and adventure about their history. How John Selkirk sold the richest mine for $50 to James G. Fair; how even that astute miner believed it to be worthless and resold it to Lane and Alvina Hayward for $10,000, and how these two men, led on by a belief in spiritualism, groped in the rejected mine until they found $8,000,000. Such is the story of the Utica. And there are many such stories waiting for the greater writer who shall some day come and immortalize them in an Odyssey of the Pacific. MAGGIE TO THE RESCUE. Acts as a Buffer Between Mistress and Rude Men. To a certain young housewife, unused to New York and apartment existence, the most terrifying of the new experiences was the dumb waiter. Whether or no her timidity made it self evident as she gave orders and received goods, it was true that the daily quota of ice was lightweight, the butcher late with his order and the grocer's boy surly and careless. But help came from an unexpected source. She had dared to suggest one morning to the laundry man that a collar was missing. The usual gruff denial had made her ears tingle, when from above came a voice: "Kape a civil tongue in yer head, ye divil, and don't talk back to the lady. If ye do, you'll get what's comin' to ye, or me name's not Maggie Murphy. Now ye find that collar before ye come next time, and don't ye fergit it." Then, as the bully below departed, muttering something about its not being his fault, the same comforting brogue resumed in milder key: "Don't ye mind him, lady. They need a callin' down ivory now and thin, and I'm the girl to give it to them. So I'll look after ye." And she has. Maggie, cook and housekeeper for the bachelor gentleman on the floor above, has dispelled the dumb waiter terror. Woman's Opportunity. Meeting a aegro, a certain Southern gentleman asked him how he was getting on. The negro assumed a troubled look and replied: "Oh, so far's physicality goes, I'm all right; but I sure do have ma troubles wif ma wife." "Weil, Sam, I'm sorry to hear that. What seems to be the matter?" "She thinks money grows on trees, I reckon. All de time she keeps pesterin' me for pinch o' change. It it ain't a dollah it's half or a quarter she wants." "What on earth does she do with the money?" "I dunno. Ain't nevah give her none yet." Courageous. An Irish lad on the East side was obliged recently to seek treatment at a dispensary. On his return home from the first treatment he was met by this inquiry from his mother: "An' what did the doctor man say was the matter wid your eye?" "He said there was some furrin substance in it." "Shure!" exclaimed the old woman, with an I-told-you-so air, "now maybe, ye'll kape away from thim Eyetallian boys!" Of Wide Application. First Little Boy—Let's play thug. Second Little Boy—All right; I'll be the thug. First Little Boy—No, you be the bloke what gets it behind the ear; I'll be the thug.

When You Think Life Is Not Worth Living, For Watermelon Living, Eat Watermelon Watermelon, law sakes alive! Is there anything on the top side of this old earth that can be compared for one single moment with the juicy juiciness, the oozy ooziness and the sloozy slooziness of this precious fruit. How we love to open up a nice red watermelon with a heart as big as a Kentucky pumpkin and as full of sweet sap as the Plate river is full of water, says the Glenrock, Wyo., Gazette. Never mind the seeds, never mind anything. Just go ahead and be happy. You can't eat watermelon and enjoy it without soiling your shirt front. Never mind your handkerchief. Let the juice fall in large copious drops from your chin and elbows. Why should you interfere with the law of gravity? Keep on eating, and when you have finished eat some more. You love it. It can't hurt you, so go after it, is there anything like it?

Bishop Coleman of Delaware was describing in Wilmington some of the adventures that had marked his summer walking trip through Pennsylvania and Maryland. For many years the bishop has devoted his vacation to walking, covering in ten days 200 miles or more. "The sexton of a quaint old Maryland church," he said, "showed me through the cool, dim building one warm afternoon, and as we were departing pointed to the Bible on the lectern and smiled. "A strange thing happened last Sunday in connection with the Bible," he said. "We had a strange minister preaching here, and when he opened the book he came upon a notice and read it out with all due solemnity. "It was a request for the congregation's sympathy and prayers for John C. Griggs, who had been deeply afflicted by the loss of his wife." "The sexton paused and chuckled softly. "You see, sir, he said, 'our regular minister had been used that paper as a bookmarker more than a year, and John Q. Griggs, in a natty gray suit, sat in a front pew with the new wife he had taken just the week before." Sold. An English cook dreamed of a lottery and, despite her master's advice, invested her savings in a ticket. A few days later the employer was astonished to see that the ticket had won $100,000. He was a bachelor and she was an old servant. It was impossible to think of parting. He proposed and was accepted, and they were married by special license next morning. As they drove away from the church he said to her: "Well, Molly, two happy events in one day. You have married, I trust, a good husband. You have something else—first let me ask you about the lottery prize." Thinking her husband meant to scold, she replied, with a sigh of relief: "Don't say no more about it. I thought how it would be and that I should never hear the last of it, so I sold the ticket to the baker for a guinea profit." Stuck Up for Him. The following dialogue was heard between two friends a few days ago: "I say, Johnson, I met your old friend George Knight yesterday." "Oh, you don't say so, Alfred. Nice chap, isn't he; very affectionate?" answered Johnson. "Yes, and very thoughtful of what he is talking about. He told me that you weren't fit to live with the gorillas at the Zoo Gardens; but, mind you, Johnson, I stuck up for you, Johnson," said Alfred. "Thank you, old chap, you're a brick. What did you say?" said Johnson. "I told him you were," said Alfred. Johnson walked away, his heart too full to say another word. Get It. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, the famous author, clergyman and teacher of Princeton, was talking one day about the best way for churches to raise money. Apropos of bazars he said: "There was a canny old Scotch minister who said one day from the pulpit, with a dry smile: "Weel, friends, the kirk stands urgently in need of siller, and, as we have failed to get it honestly, we must e'en see now what a bazar can do for us." Did Some Good. Mrs. Johnston—Do you think that our sending Edith to the cookery classes has done any good? Mr. Johnston—Certainly it has. Mrs. Johnston—But, then, the things she cooks are so unenable that we have just to give them away to tramps at the door. Mr. Johnston—Well, haven't you noticed that we have almost entirely got rid of the tramps? DR. W. J. HURD. 01 E. SEVENTH ST.
