HAPPY HOUSEBOATER IN FLORIDA HAPPY HOUSEBOATER IN FLORIDA An Ancient Form of Maritime Life Which Is Growing in Favor With Americans—Existence Independent of Time Tables. AFLOAT ON BLUE BISCAYNE —HOUSEBOAT KENESAW IL. A FLOATING HOME ON THE PLACID TOMOKA, FLORIDA. VOL. 24. NO. 20. HAPPY HOUSEBOY An Ancient Form of Maritime L With Americans—Existence The claim has been ingeniously put forward, supported by a showing of authority, that houseboating is the oldest of all maritime pursuits. For it is averred that Noah was the first of recorded seamen and the ark, it is de- clared, was undoubtedly the original houseboat. However well founded this claim, there is no doubt that houseboating is a very ancient pursuit and that its shallow, broad-beamed, comfortable craft have been gliding down lazy rivers, slipping through sounds and inlets, and hugging shores for a good many more years than the oldest mariner can recall. Amphibious, rather than truly maritime, the house boat is, strictly speaking, not a creature of the high seas at all, but of rivers, lakes, channels, canals and trees. When it, or its crew tree of life about it even goes ashore sometimes and settles down to a fixed and proxic existence as a land dwelling. In America the houseboat's home is the network of coast and interior waters which stretches in a gigantic circuit around half the St. Lawrence, south along the Atlantic, around the Gulf to the Mississippi, and through that stream and tributary waters back to the inland seas, a circuit which it is now entirely possible to make in one of these light draft craft, which possess an ability to navigate in the proverbial heavy dwel rivalling that of the stern wheel river boats of a bygone generation. Whether as the least strenuous of sports, or as the most carefree and jyllic of existence, it is certain that this boat is growing in favor among those Americans who can command the leisure and the not exorbitant price necessary for its deliberate pleasures. To those who like to travel without particularly caring where they go or when they get there, who like to halt by the way, here for the fishing and there for a few days shooting, and who would escape the abominations of fixed schedules, crowded hotels and other trials of the ordinary vacation trip, houseboating especially appeals. AFLOAT ON BLUE BISCAYNE The growing interest which Americans are taking in their systems of internal waterway communication may be credited in some degree to the spreading vogue of the houseboat, and in turn the increasing attention paid in recent years to the improvement and development of the systems has doubtless helped houseboating in its progress and favor. Where a couple of decades ago there was one houseboat in Eastern waters there are now a dozen, while in the course of the evolution the craft has developed from the simplest types of an earlier period to vessels which are real homes afloat, fitted with everything luxury can desire and wealth supply.

He (brusquely)—I cannot understand why so many foolish women are so fond of dogs. She (sweaty)—Nor L that so many foolish women stick so to curs.—Baltimore American. --- THE PALATIAL HOUSEBOAT OF THE MILLIONAIRE There has been development in another way, too, and from being merely quarters for an annual vacation trip, the houseboat in many instances has become practically a home for the owner and his family for the greater part of every year. When the first hint of cold weather breathes over the Northern cruising grounds such craft, instead of laying up for the winter, now turn their bows southward, where Florida offers almost unlimited miles of land-locked waters over which to float in a semi-tropical climate until the northward migration sets back in the spring. Just what percentage of the house boats in Eastern waters now winter regularly on the Florida coasts and rivers it is impossible to THE PALATIAL HOUSE say, but the number runs into the hundreds. At such a place as Lake Worth, which is the houseboating capital of the South, the gathering of these craft in the week of the annual motor-boat races reaches the proportions of a floating town. With her 1,200 miles of coast line, numerous sheltered arms of the sea, and many navigable rivers, it is natural that Florida should become the home of winter houseboating, especially when it is also considered that HOUSEBOAT KENESAW II. these waters offer a greater variety of fishing than can be had elsewhere in North America and that there is shooting almost anywhere within a few miles of the towns. By the "inside passage," a series of connecting rivers, sounds and canals, the voyage from Northern waters to Florida can be made almost wholly through sheltered channels and the larger craft habitually make it under their own power. The smaller ones can be shipped on the deck of one of the regular passenger liners at comparatively small expense. Once arrived there is the choice of the hundreds of miles of inside waterways along the east coast of Florida from Q HOME ON THE PLACID TOMOKA, His Steady Job Bigley-You don't believe in a college education then?

Halifax south, of which the Halifax and Indian "rivers," so-called, Lake Worth at Palm Beach, and Bicocaye bay, on which Miami is situated, are favorite haunts. Then there are the rivers, the St. Johns and its tributary, the Okechawka, the Tomoka the St. Luckie and others, to say nothing of the Gulf coast, and the strange and little visited region of the Florida Keys, which has just been opened to the tourist world by Henry M. Flagler's famous "seagooing railroad." As a type of the completely equipped pleasure craft which is at the same time a floating home such a houseboat as the Kesawel II, owned by a well known New York sportsman, may be taken. After a summer fishing in Northern waters, the owner of the Kesawel comes south to Miami every winter for a season with the tarpon. His boat, designed by himself, is sixty feet over all, with the very light draft and wide beam of the ideal houseboat. It is driven by a twenty-house power gasoline engine BOAT OF THE MILLIONAIRE, and has a fuel capacity of 500 gallons. Lights are supplied by two acetylene gas tanks, holding together forty cubic feet. Forward is a pilot house, the launch and two decks, and a bath and compass, charts and all.

A Current Form of Entertainment Adented to a Church Hall. "When I was asked to witness an exhibition of fancy dancing to be held in a parish hall and for the benefit of a church an evening or so ago I thought the limit of broad-mindedness had been reached," said a New York man. "I went out of curiosity, and after all I found it a most beautiful and appropriate entertainment. "The dancing turned out to be only a part of the evening's offering, which was called a sacred recit, with sacred songs, music and recitations. The dancing was in keeping with these, being the latest phase of the classic or aesthetic dancing now so much in vogue. It portrayed the dances used in religious festivals in Scriptural days. "The dance called 'Eastern and Western Prayer' was little more than a series of graceful poses, in which the performer saluted the rising sun and bowed to the East and afterward expressed the Western form of prayer in pantomime while 'Nearer, My God, to Thee' was played softly. "The most spirited of the dances was the battle dance of Miriam on the shores of the Red sea. She came upon the stage dancing slowly, dressed in the flowing robes of Bible days, with a helmet on her head and cymbals in her hands. "The dancing grew quicker and quicker, and then she began to chant Miriam's song of triumph as we find it in the Scriptures. It was an inspiring exhibition." The greater the opportunity the less likely it is to have an advance agent. FLORIDA. On a Heavenly Excursion. "What does you reckon you'll like tar do w'en you gifts to glory?" "Walt, said Brother Dickey, "since you put de question tar me. I'll make answer ter it. If dey lets me have any way, I'll des lay back on a white cloud, an' let de heavenly winds blow me fun star to star."-Atlanta Constitution. "What's the matter with her?" "Wants to know if she may consider her position permanent." Ludicrous Features in Claim Against Government. Of course, only a part, very likely a small part, of the claims entered against the government have justice as a basis. In order to find out the truth of things the government occasionally is obliged to spend many times the amount of money involved. One of the most curious claim cases ever known to congress was that of Senora Feliciana Mendiola, who lived at Angeles, Pampanga, Philippine Islands. The senora rented a house to Uncle Sam for the use of some of his teamsters. When the mule-driving contingent moved out of the house she moved occupying, the declared order that some of the siding boards were worming from the kitchen wall, and she asked for $200 in gold to repay her for the damage to her property. This case of Senora Feliciana Mendiola fills 14 pages of a house of representatives document. It contains a long letter from the secretary of war on the question of the value of kitchen siding, another letter from the quartermaster-general of the United States and 53 communications from army officers and civilians of various ranks and conditions. A board of officers was convened to pass on the validity of the senora's claim. The board was in session for days, many of its members coming from a long distance to attend. One teamster, William Langworthy by name, swapped the senora's kitchen wares weaved up and eaten by a teamster. Teamster Summerville swore that in his opinion the boards dropped out of place by their own weight. Teamster Pickle said: "Them boards was munk." The army board which sat on the case thought it was very doubtful in strict justice If Senora Feliciana should be allowed any money, but finally the members granted her the sum of $30 in gold. This action, of course, was not final, but the committees on war claims in house and senate approved the finding. The senora received $30, and doubtless it gave her some satisfaction to know that Uncle Sam had spent about $1,000 to get authority to pay for a kitchen siding which went to destruction either by way of a teamster's foot or a red ant's stomach. IN THE NATIONAL CEMETERIES Representative Chaney Recently Gave Figures as to Unknown Dead. The army of the unknown dead buried in the cemeteries of the United States government is an enormous one. In a speech on the pension appropriation bill Representative Chaney by the quartermaster general prepared by the quartermaster general that there are 152,103 unknown soldiers and sailors whose remains are interred in the national cemeteries. The total number of buried dead in these cemeteries is 353,385. The known number 201,252. The government maintains no less than 83 national cemeteries. It is not generally known that one of these is outside of the United States, being located at Mexico City. Over 1,500 soldiers of the Mexican war rest there, half of the unknown. The largest of the national cemeteries is the one at Arlington, just across the river from Washington. It has over 20,000 interments, of which 4,625 are those of unknown dead. Next in size is the cemetery at Vicksburg, where there are 16,833 interments. Third in size is Nashville with 16,633 interments, while the fourth largest is Fredericksburg, Va. Not all the interments are those of unidentified Above 900 are confederates. The only interments are at Andersonville, Ga, where large numbers of northern prisoners died and were buried. The interments there number nearly 14,000. Job for Senator Gallinger Senators are supposed to have many powers and privileges not granted to ordinary mortals, but perhaps never had one been credited with possessing the functions of a divorce court and a matrimonial bureau all at the same time until Senator Gallinger received the following unusual communication from a man who lives in a large city in New York. "Hon. Mr. Gallinger: I am a peddler in this city. My wife lives in New York. I wrote her a letter, she would not come. I begged Hon. Justice James Fitzgerald to send me a divorce, although he is a brother in name to my oncle he would not write me answer. May I marry the 2nd wife. I can't afraid, if the H.

A big oil painting hangs on the white wall of the gauge room of the ventilating plant in the capitol at Washington. It is a pretty poor painting in spite of its gilt frame and brass plate. The latter states that the subject of the picture is the first home-stead in the United States. The painting was sent in years ago for the government to purchase. The government was not begun until it declined to buy. The artist did not send for it, so there, away down the sub-ment, it was to-day. There are unbought, unaugmented, stowed away in various places, some boxed, others hanging in obscure coops.

PICKED A DEAD ONE RETRIBUTION THAT OVERTOOK UNTRUTHFUL WASHINGTONIAN. Explanation Intended to Deceive Trusting Wife Recoiled on His Head—And It Cost Him All His Winnings. Not many moons ago a poker game was pulled off in one of the clubs of Washington which caused a prominent merchant to wander home in the wee small hours. Nor is that all. Excesses were in order to molly wifey, and of course—but listen. At half-past one o'clock on the morning of that game the young merchant had acquired a pile of red, white and blue chips which to see over he was compelled to wear. They represented about $300 velvet. He knew that in the cause of domestic tranquility he should be going home, but when he suggested that the game be called off a then member of the house of representatives dropped a verbal pearl to the effect that "you've got cold feet, put 'em right up here in my bosom an warm 'em." There was no drawing out for the merchant, and so about 5:30 the next morning he found his pile had grown to double its size and he cashed in about $700 to the good. After he had gone, the Turkish bath, which brought his chronometer around to noon time, he sauntered home, to be met by his wife, who, to say the least, was some peculiar. But the merchant beat her to it. "Wait!" he commanded, "before you say anything. I had to go to Baltimore late yesterday afternoon. Man who bought a $1,500 bill of goods paid for it with a check which was returned marked no good." I couldn't stand to lose it, and so I hopped the first train to Baltimore, got a lawyer, and this morning the man settled up, all right. "Now, before I rest any I take you down and buy you something with the money on bill." Now the merchant's wife was a Baltimore girl before her marriage, and naturally inquired what lawyer her husband retained. "Why, I employed old Judge Emory," the merchant replied, no dawntained, and he heard his wife call after him as he went upstairs: "I'm glad you did. He's an old friend of the family." Ten minutes later the merchant's self-satisfaction at having gotten by so well received a jolt when his wife rushed into his room flourishing a Baltimore paper. "Whom did you say you employed?" she cried. "I told you plainly Judge Emory," the man answered. "I laid." "He's his funeral notice." "Think of it, boys," the merchant said, in recounting his troubles that night at the club. "Thousands of lawyers in Baltimore—and I had to pic a dead one!" Big Golf Game in Prospect. Andrew Carnegie had lunchon with President Roosevelt not long ago. The Pittsburgh millionaire is always a welcome White House visitor. On leaving the executive offices he was asked as to the truth of the story that he and John D. Rockefeller are not on speaking terms as the result of a disagreement over a game of golf. The giver of libraries laughed at the story. "I have the highest respect for Mr. Rockefeller and think he is a much abused man. I intend to play golf with him. I intend to beat him too," said Mr. Carnegie. "Of course," he went on with an amused expression, "I don't know how things will come out if we play the game on Mr. Rockefeller's own grounds. If we do I shall have to keep a sharp eye on him, as he knows how to play the game and goes into it with great earnestness." Secretary Taft as a Reporter. Secretary Taft as a Reporter. Like Chief Justice Fuller, Secretary Wilson and other men high in the public service and confidence, Secretary Taft began his career as a newspaper man. The first money earned by him after being graduated from Yale was as court reporter on a Cincinnati paper, the old Commercial Gazette, then edited by Murat Halstead. Mr. Taft started at six dollars a week, and when he quit had worked up to "20 per." All the time he was thus engaged he was studying law at night under his father's direction. Necessity did not drive him to the work, as his father was a man of ample fortune, but the secretary chose it because it was the readiest entrance to active employment that brought him daily in contact with lawyers and court proceedings. He liked to disseminate newspaper work with reporters. He uses the shop terms with a familiar denoting his former experience in the business, and understands how to outline a "story" for the "boys" as well as any member of the administration.

WHAT'S UP IN GEORGIA? THE APPEAL confesses, without shame, that it cannot understand some of the doings of the Caucasian brother. Here is one instance of such a puzzling move: A meeting in the interest of Morris Brown college was recently held, and the report contained the following item: "The most encouraging event of the afternoon was the reading of a letter from John Temple Graves, enclosing a check for $50 from William Randolph Hearst, for the Afro-American educational movement." Now, everybody knows what sort of a fellow John Temple Graves is and his usual way of acting toward the Afro-American. Indeed, it is the general opinion that he and Hoax Smith are largely responsible for the Atlanta murders. So, also, Mr. Hearst has not been known heretofore as a special friend of the Afro-American. Therefore THE APPEAL cannot help surmising that there is a bug under the chip. It is a known fact that Mr. Hearst is organizing for political purposes, what he calls his Independence League. It is also known that a Georgia rabble recently adminis- [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie and a pin on his lapel]. tered a dose of lemons to Hokey Smith when he attempted to make a speech at Marietta. Furthermore it must be remembered that Tom Watson, the Populist candidate for President, lives somewhere in Georgia and has a large following of ragtags and bobtails there. So everything looks like Hearst intends to have something doing soon in Georgia. As the poet says: "That night a chiel might understand This has been especi-gard to legislat- usurpations by ou-ment."

But M from the wrong s-try to talk about His state not only her intention of f- portion of the C The de'il had business on his hand.' THE PROBLEM SOLVED. Hear ye! Hear ye!! Hear ye!! THE APPEAL takes great pleasure in announcing that Messrs. A. Cohn & Co., of Amsterdam, Ga., have solved the famous "race problem." These gentlemen are owners of the largest tobacco farm in the world, consisting of 25,000 acres of land and requiring 3,500 hands—all Afro-Americans—to work it. Mr. Wm. E Curtis, who furnishes the information, says: "A. Cohn & Co. plant every year 1,000 acres of 'shade' tobacco, from which they harvest 1,000,000 pounds and derive therefrom a profit of $1,000,000. The firm purchases besides all that the outside farmers raise perhaps 2,000,000 pounds additional so it is safe to say that their annual profit is from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000 per annum. "The manager, Colonel Einstein, has reduced the labor problem to a science. He not only gets the greatest possible amount of work out of each individual Afro-American, but they are cheerful and willing and seem proud to be enrolled among the Amsterdam workers. Each one knows exactly what he is to receive for his work, and he knows that if he faithfully performs his portion of the contract the company will absolutely keep theirs." So says Mr. Curtis. And everybody knows the only reason for the howls about the Afro-American not working is that the majority of the Southern planters do little else but devise plans for cheating the laborers out of their wages. They have reduced cheating to an exact science. MR. WILLIAMS OF MISSISSIPPI Hon. John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, recently put on a clean shirt and expressed himself as follows before the American Academy: "Every governmental abuse," continued Mr. Williams, "is based upon some plea or pretext, and the usurpation of power by government is generally based upon "necessity," the "tyrant's plea." This real or fancied necessity generally grows out of war. 1931 M. B. H. HON. ELMER DOVER. Secretary Republican National Committee. This has been especially true with regard to legislative and executive usurpations by our Federal Government." Anyone familiar with the writings of Macauley will know at once that Mr. Williams' ideas are not at all original, but are swiped from that historian. But Mr. Williams comes from the wrong section of the country to talk about federal usurpations. His state not only loudly proclaims her intention of nullifying a certain portion of the Constitution of the United States, but has actually done just what she threatened to do. And she has done so on the plea of real necessity, which Mr. Williams says is the tyrant's plea. All the Mississippi governmental abuses, including her lynchings and peonage, are justified in the same way. THE APPEAL will be delighted should Mr. Williams succeed in reforming the governmental abuses, but hopes that he will begin in poor old Mississippi. The women of Still Pond, Md, are voters; but if anything went wrong in the recent elections, the women should not be blamed for the result. It rained and Miss. Jones could not get there without wetting her new merry widow hat; Mrs. Brown could not be on hand because she had to get her husband's dinner with green wood; and Mrs. Smith was not on hand because the baby set up a yell just as she started, and she had to stop and read the riot act to the young rooster. --- The Louisville Counier-Journal asserts that 5,000 of the 25,000 school trustees in Kentucky can neither read nor write. We are willing to wager, however, that every one in the bunch can tell good liquor by the smell. That is true of Kentucky and the case is much worse in any of the other Southern states. So it is easily seen how it happens that such men as Helfin and Jeff Davis butt into Congress. Six members of the Arkansas legislature have been arrested and are under $3,000 bonds each. They are charged with bribery and perjury. The gentlemen were very active during the recent session of the legislature in pushing jimcrow legislation. All of them made speeches on the innate immoral tendencies of the Afro-American. Nice lot to talk about morals. It would be money in the pockets of the New South if it would stop sending such reprobates as Heflin and Jeff Davis to Congress. 1920 --- E. M. LEE CORR. RT. REV. ABRAM GRANT. Bishop A. M. E. Church in Session at Norfolk, Va. NOVEL HEADBSTONE FOR DANNY. A Washstand's Marble Top Seemed Just the Thing to Mary, the cook. The cook was very new and very Irish. Her mistress found every day something to amuse in her servant's odd ways of looking at things. But one day she got the surprise of her life. In a storeroom back of the kitchen she had put a lot of discarded furniture, including an old fashioned washstand with a broad marble top. She had noticed that the cook, who answered readily to the name of Mary, looked longingly at the marble slab. The mistress decided to clear out the storeroom and she sent for an old furniture man to take most of the accumulated truck away. Mary thereupon spoke her mind. "Wud yez mind, mum," she said, "if Ol tuk th' bit of marble?" "Why, what do you want with it?" asked the mistress. "Sure, mum," said Mary, ""would be after making a fine headstone for me dead Danny—that's me husband, mum, who died a year ago." Well, Mary got the marble slab and she found a stone cutter friend of Danny's who carved an appropriate inscription rather crudely, and the novel stone was set up at the head of Danny's grave. All of which is not fiction but truth, and it happened in Brooklyn. Inventor of Envelopes It is somewhat curious that such a simple contrivance as the envelope should be a comparatively modern invention, says the Gaulois. As a matter of fact it is just a hundred years since a paper manufacturer of Brighton named Brewes invented envelopes for letters in their present form. Even then it was some considerable time before their use became at all general, not, in fact, until somewhere about the year 1850. Before this date (as many who are living now will remember) a letter, written only on one side, was folded in two, then three, sealed with a wafer or sealing wax, and addressed on one of the blank sides.

In the Bank of England's museum may be seen the old oak chest which was the Old Lady of Threadneedle street's first strong room.

Government Trying to Control the Water Hyacinth. The water hyacinth, the beautiful marine plant of green leaves and exquisite flowers, which has done such great damage to commerce in Louisiana and East Texas, is, making its appearance in the ship canal, says the Houston Post. A few years ago the water hyacinth was brought from Florida to Louisiana, as a floral ornament. Last year the government expended $200,000 in an effort to control the pest and has only partly succeeded. Streams and bayous which once carried large barges of lumber in Louisiana and Eastern Texas have been closed to navigation by the rank vegetation of the hyacinth. Sabine river above Orange has become filled with the plants, and it is related that these all grew from a few plants carelessly thrown into the river by some housewife when the plants she had in a tub as an ornament became too numerous. The matter has been brought to the attention of the city authorities and steps have already been taken to destroy before it is too late all the hyacinths in Sam Houston Park and those which have got into the bayou. A boat is to be sent along the lower reaches and all hyacinths carefully gathered and destroyed. It is anticipated that there may be some legislative action prohibiting the growing of these plants near a navigable stream and punishing any one so careless as to throw any of them into a stream which is of any use for any purpose. FIFTEEN CENT OPERA. It Is in Dresden and for That Price One Can Hear but Not See. Opera and concerts in Dresden are within the reach of all. The most expensive seats in the house cost about $2, and there are others from which one can hear perfectly, but not see the stage, which cost about 15 cents. The English and American residents, students, etc., frequent the fourth gallery, says the Travel Magazine. The acoustics are perfect, and very many people consider seats here the more desirable. BRAM GRANT. in Session at Norfolk, Va. The opera season begins about September 10 and lasts throughout the year, with a holiday of six weeks in summer, and presents the most artistic performance in all Germany. Besides the frequent performance of opera, two series of symphony concerts are given during the winter in the opera house. It is often difficult to secure tickets for these concerts, but the rehearsals are public and the price of seats small. In sea fishing at Biarritz, France, some remarkably long and heavy rods are employed. We think a twenty-foot salmon rod or roach pole is a pretty good length, but our friends at Biarritz use rods over forty feet in length. In fishing from the walk at the lighthouse the rods are balanced on the railing by means of a wood rest fitting the iron bars. A line about the length of the rod is used, three or four hooks and a light sinker. At La Pointe Plate rods of lesser length and weight are used, but even these are not featherweights by any means. Reels, according to Vicomte Henri de France, are known to these sea-anglers, but are seldom used. Hunter's Waterproof Matchbox. There is not a matchsafe made, so far as I know, that meets all the requirements of the sportsman as well as a ten or twelve-gauge brass shell closed with a cork stopper. This makes, a safe that is absolutely waterproof easily opened, is cheap and that will float. If one wishes to provide against the loss of the stopper a card may be fastened about the cork and the other end fastened about the base of the shell. Battler Explanation. The rattlers of the rattlesnake lie edgewise. It is evident that they must do so, inasmuch as they are but continuations of the backbone. The snake carries the rattles on the ground except when he raises them to sound his warning. This will be evidenced by the fact that in every snake of any size that is killed the rattlers are worn through on the under side.

And advices from the East tell us we can look for a meritorious performance in "The Cow Puncher," which comes a week's engagement at the Grand, with a matinee tomorrow at 2:30. Hal. Reid, who has written more successful plays than any other author, is its sponsor. It is a tale of life in Arizona, and Mr. Reid has cleverly blended the rugged denizen of the plains into a delightful romance. He has taken that which is noblest and best in the man, Tom Lawton, whose only schooling has been the saddle, the gun and his innate sense of right and wrong, and developed him into a hero, grand, inspiring, stand a man among men in his simple strength of mind and muscle. And when Geraldine Graham, the heroine, fresh from New York, seeing him for the first time, exclaims, "Nature molded the type and called him for American," she sounds the keynote of his character. Mr. Reid's play shows his familiarity with his subject and W. F. Mann, under whose direction "The Cow Puncher" was produced, deserve a great deal of credit for the magnificent manner in which the play is staged. Nothing overlooked that could lend atmosphere or color to the piece. A most excellent cast has been provided, headed by John A.

"CHAMPAGNE GIRLS" The Attraction at the Star Next Week Lovers of high-class extravaganza will be made merry at the Star theater next week. What is claimed as the most novel attraction of its kind is to be presented there under the popular title of offeringes fun, Champagne Girls. Champagne Girls, which has proven to be one of decided merit, is in two acts and an olio, and is largely composed of the feminine gender. These are assisted by several more than ordinary comedy, to the minute with originality stumped. This vehicle of fun gives both the boys and girls plenty of opportunity for their "Junketings," and during the progress of the piece the fun is fast and furious. Slyph-like maidens are in the forward rank with songs, and the costumes are works of art, and are designed to display the many and varied charms of the wearers. "The Champagne Girls" will surely capture the town for pretty faces, elegant forms and stylish gowns are designed to attract good houses, especially in conjunction with such a good show. As a special feature the management announces a basket ball contest between lady members, who challenge any local man team. A $3 hat will also be given away at every evening performance. The Committee of twelve is arranging to circulate 50,000 copies of Mr. Andrew Carnegie's recent speech in Edinburgh on the progress of the Afro-American.

NOVEL USE FOR WOODEN EGGS. Made to Darn Stockings On, They Finally Served as Knobs for Hatpins. One of the innumerable things that the manufacturers of turned wood goods make is the darning egg, for use as an aid in darning stockings. These eggs are commonly provided each with a handle of the same kind of wood, which screws into one end. A while ago there was received at the New York office of a turned goods manufacturing concern an order for a couple of cases, some thousands in number, of darning eggs to be supplied without handles and of a size somewhat smaller than the standard; and then for some reason this special eggs was left on the manufacturer's hands. But they were not wasted. In the course of time there came in a hat pin, manufacturer who wanted to leave an order for a few thousand hatpin knobs, to be made in specified shape and dimensions. Besides making regularly a great variety of things the turned woodsmakers also turn wood in any shape that may be required to order. And then the salesman recalled that little lot of undersized handleless darning eggs, which proved to be exactly what the hatpin man wanted, and he took the lot. And so finally they came to be made up, not as darning eggs, with fancy handles, but as the knobs of hatpins. Great Comedian Never Realized It. Marlon Hill's short stories of the stage, now running in the American Magazne, are full of delicious fun. In the February number is the story of the young actress who was constantly irritated by the pompous behavior of the color magician in whose company she was playing. "Now, Mow Dude," said the great one, "you'll have, an opportunity to show your talents in another direction. I've cast you for a dandy part, small but 'fat'. And you'll have a chance to study me in a new role. You've never seen me do farce-comedy, have you?" "Yes, I have," contradicted Miss Duke, "I've seen you in McCeth." When the Huckster is Most Zealous. "I never buy anything from a huckster who makes a great outcry about his stuff or seems very anxious to sell," says a housekeeper, "for the chances are ten to one that there is something the matter with whatever he has to sell. even two man with one wagon come up the street roaring 'appoots,' so they can be hung for four or five blocks. I know that some cold storage man has a big stock. on hand just to about spoil and that the knowers know that condition of the apples is as well as the cold storage man, hence their zeal and energy to get rid of their stock." Down to the Minute. The reader laid a manuscript upon the great publisher's desk, saying with enthusiasm: "A rattling good automobile story, sir." The publisher nodded and said tersely: "Notify the author, Frederic, that if he will change the automobile to an aeroplane we'll bring the volume out in time to catch the Easter holiday trade." Wouldn't Risk It "You say, Mr. Sibley," said the girl, in a low, thoughtful, this-is-a-serious-matter sort of tone, "that you have loved me for five years and have told me to tell me so until tonight." "Yes," he replied. "Well, I cannot be your wife. A man who has no more courage than that would pretend to be fast asleep in a burglar stole his baby's shoes." Cheerful Prospect. A young widow, who had buried two husbands in a remarkably short space of time, was walking to the cemetery with a youth who, though enamored of her, lacked the courage to make a proposal of marriage. "Ah, my dear," she sighed, as they entered the cemetery. "If you had only been a little bolder, I should perhaps be mourning your loss to-day." He Had Gorgonzola "Walter, have you got any Gorgon zola cheese?" "es, sir." "I'll buy prices and white?" "Yes sir, very white." "And good and hard in the middle?" "Oh, yes, sir. Stone hard." "Thanks. Gorgonzola cheese ought to be green and very soft!" Suburban Nerve Mrs. Suburb—There's a knife sharper at the door. Do we need anything sharpened Henry? Mr. Suburb—No; but tell him to go in.

Midenec (the bachelor), the Prague newspaper which has devoted itself to the emancipation of man from the thrall of women, has chosen its thirteenth number to celebrate its emancipation. Not only it has it awakened the Czech population of Europe, as it allowed to a new sense of manhood, but in addition it has stirred up Poland, Hungary and Germany with signs of revolt against feminism. It is in German speaking countries that it seems to have caused the greatest weakening. It says that after the Frankfurter Zeitung directed attention to its program, papers all over Germany printed long articles, many of them indorsing, at least inferentially, the crusade. The publication office in Prague has been stormed with letters demanding a German edition of the Bachelor. Hundreds of letters have been written to the editor cliting instances of feminine tyranny and urging that the fight for masculine authority be made red hot. German men's organizations, it is stated, have adopted resolutions indorsing the paper and its aims, and several Mladence clubs have been formed in the larger cities. Orders for copies have been received from big hotels in all parts of Europe where people who read the Slavic languages habitually visit. The greatest triumph of all, in the estimation of Mladence's editor, is the appearance in Prague at an early publication to combat the male emancipation movement. This is to be called Panna (the Spinster), and it is to be devoted to exposing the wickedness and injustice of men, asserting the rights of women and proving that the world will be far better when the fair sex gains ascendance. HAZARDS OF CORNELL LIFE. Just Walking About the Campus Apparently is Bad Enough. The Cornell Daily Sun recorded recently the following: "Monday night three undergraduates at least went over the gore from the path which runs from Cedar avenue to the woods at the head of Edgormoe lane. One of these was fortunate to match with the last tree just in the nick of time. The others did not go so far. Last night two others went over in the same place. "Some day an unlucky man will miss the last tree and then the university authorities will have a rope strung along this path the next morning." She-I see an average man needs 1,600 pounds of food yearly. He-Yes; but he doesn't want it in He-Yes; but he doesn't want it in eame batch of biscuits.

There are some strange jobs around the United States capitol. One favorable constituent of an influential congressman draws a salary for sprinkling tooth powder in the control respirators. Once a week, this happily, with a smile upon his face, makes the rounds of the various committee rooms and carefully dumps into the receivers of the telephones a little pink, scented tooth powder. Thus statesmen are enabled to breathe sweet perfume as they talk over the phone. There is another employee who is the "official measureur" of the house of representatives. Whenever a bookcase needs a new curtain he drops around and takes the measurements, but he never does any real work. Hawks in a City Tower For some years past duck hawks have used the tower of the post office department building in Washington as a place of refuge. The birds are in and from their safe retreat high above and from their safe retreat higs above the street they make daily trips to the Potomac, where they pick up many a luckless coot and grebe, which are forthwith sacrificed to appease the seemingly never completely satisfied hawk hunger. Fossil Insect's Wings. The museum of the department of comparative anatomy at Brown university has received a very curious fossil, an insect's wing. The fossil is of special interest in that it is a type specimen, the first, so far as can be learned, the only one that has ever been found. The fossil is the head of Cambridge, "Mylacris Packardi," after Prof. Packard, formerly of the Brown faculty. Bostonese. "Barkeep, gimme a highball." "A what? "A highball. Where you been tending bar?" "I'm just in from Boston," answered the barkeeper with a sheepish grin. "They call 'em altitudinous spheroids there." Pleased With the Sample. As a famous comedian was travelling on a steamboat he seated himself at the table and called for some beef steak. The waiter furnished him with a small strip of the article, such as travelers are usually put off with. Taking it up on his fork and examining it with one of his peculiar, serious looks, the comedian coolly remarked: "Yes, that's it; bring me some." Standing by Him. Mrs. Prentice-How do you always manage to have such delicious beef? Mrs. Blinthyre-I select a good honest butcher and then stand by him. Mrs. Prentice—You mean that you give him all your trade? Mrs. Blythryne—No; I mean that I stand by him while he is cutting the meat. Her ignorance. "You say the cook has beaten your wife?" "That's what she did." "But I thought your wife had taken boxing lessons?" "She had but the cook hadn't and so did not know how wrong it was to scratch and pull hair and bite." Suspiciously New.

(None genuine without my signature) Charles Bird Park 153 E. KINZIE ST., CHICAGO, IL. Agents wanted everywhere BIRDS AND FOWLS COLORED. Pigeons, Canaries, Parrots and Even Chickens Are Dyed Nowadays. Rather novel is the notion of coloring birds artificially by feeding them with aniline dyes. The thing is actually being done nowadays with pigeons, canaries, parrots and even chickens. For this purpose the dyes are either mixed in the dough of ordinary bread before baking or else disguised in "cottage cheese"—either being a readily assimilated form of food. Baking takes away the bitter taste of such coal tar products and the crumbs are freely eaten. In this way, by the use of methyleosin, non-colored pigeons may be turned to a bright red, and the color is guaranteed "fast." Similarly blue is obtained by feeding the birds with methyl-violet. In the latter case the dye is offered to the young squabs in bread. That colors acquired by feeding, however, are not necessarily fast is shown by what happens in a state of nature to the tropical birds known as "turacos," or banana eaters. On their dark-violet wing feathers are patches of bright crimson, which soak out in water, so that in the rainy season these patches become pale pink or dirty gray. It is copper, derived from bananas, that produces the tint. The red portions of the feathers when burned give a green flame, indicating the presence of copper. The red coloring matter easily dissolves in dilute ammonia and chemical analysis shows it to contain 7 per cent of pure metallic copper. ONE ON THE WAITER Applicant Told Him Where Malays Were From. One day a man, apparently white, came into the best restaurant in Atlanta. The head waiter looked him over and thought he had negro blood in him. In fact, he was a very light quadron. "Here you," the head waiter said, "you are colored." "Oh, no, I ain't," the man replied. "Not in the sense you mean." "But you are mighty dark." "I know I am, but that is because I am a Malay." The head waiter was non-plussed. He looked again, and then asked suspiciously: "What is a Malay?" Where is he from? "Why," said the man, easily. "Malays are from Malaria." On October 22 last there was shot at Ouchy, on Lake Leman, a seagull aged about sixteen months, which was found to be wearing on its claw a silver ring engraved with the words "Vogel station, Rossitten 20." Rossitten is situated in the Lido of the Courland lagoon, between Königsberg and Memel, in the Baltic, 1,500 kilometers from the Lake of Geneva. M. Forl of Lausanne communicated with Dr. J. Thienemann, director of the ornithological station as Rossitten. According to the largest notes the gull No. 20 was hatched there, and was marked with the ring when a few weeks old, before it could fly, on July 4, 1905. It seems probable that it had thus made two winter migrations before it fell a victim to the human barbarian. Queen Alexandria's Diplomacy Very recently while at Buckingham palace it came to the queen's knowledge that one of the upper housemaids, who had been in the royal service for years, was very unhappy over a love, affair. The queen sent for the girl, and, after advising and consoling her, sent her to Sandringham for a change. Then the queen summoned the lover, and after a good-natured homily with humorous tact sent him to Sandringham too. The couple have since returned, and there will be a wedding at Buckingham palace soon. "The best pick pockets," said Lecog, the detective, "are the Hindus. You have to call them light toed as well as light fingered, for they can lift a watch or purse as easily with their feet as with their hands. Trained from childhood, these bare-footed rascals are wonderfully skillful with their toes. This gives them a great advantage. A Hindu in a crowd will stand with his arms ostentiously folded and sneak with his foot the wallet from your trousers' pocket. Cotton Dress of 150 Years Ago. Miss Susie Watson of Bunker Hill has a cotton dress which is 150 years old and in a clean and neat condition. The cloth was spun by hand by Miss Margaret Wilson, who married Ben Benson, father of Early Benson, deceased. The cotton was hand picked. The dress was used by Miss Wilson as a wedding dress. "She is both beautiful and intellectual." "Huh! You can't make any one believe that." "Twins at your house, eh?" said Ascum. "I'll bet they're pretty boisterous." "Partly so," replied Popley. One of them is 'girlsterous.'" Temperature of Pigeons and Turkeys. Pigeons and turkeys each have a natural temperature of 109 degrees, which is 10 degrees higher than man's.
