Col. C o p s l a n d , Nov 2 7 .

Col.,L. F. Copeland delivered a lecture on "Snobs and Snobbery" al Foster 's last evening under the* aus-pices of the Star lecture course. He proved a delightful speaker and his brilliant treatmeut of the subject claimed the ready and interested at-tention of his audience throughout. The lecture sparkled with humor. The topic was one at once congenial and thoroughly studuKj from the' standpoint of a cheering philosopher who Ipuks upon life through op-timistic eyes which, while observing the ills of the social system, see the humors as well as tho tragedies of life. In his philosophy every tear is balanced with a smile and every moan answered with the music of laughter.—Des Moines (Iowa) Leader.

This is the gcntlemau who will till tVe next number of the Epworth League lecture course, Nov. 27. and we understand the sub jec t will be tho one alluded to above, "Snobs and Snobbery."

In R e p l y t o " P a t r o a V Cr i t l c i f t r a

of O p e « l a | [ N i g h t .

The EpWorth League lecture course committee feels tha t the crit-icism of " P a t r o n " in our last issue was unjust in regard to the matter of reserved soalf, though they ack-nowledge tha t there were grounds for complaints. They say that two members of the connnitlee were out of town and one w»^ kept away by pressing business, thus leaving the management of the opening event upon one member. These grounds for complaint, they propose to look after from this time on.

A s to the reserved seats, the com-mittee says: The first year 's course rost $yo and with season tickets at .iOc. they cleared $80. The second course cost $105 aud that year and since tickets were sold fo r $1.00. The fund saved the second year was $13. Last year's course COKI $377.50 and $21 was cleared, leaving a bal-ance on hand this year of li;»54. The present course costs $476, besides local expenses of $50. The ' t i cke ts thus far sold have brought in $205, leaving the large sum of $105 to make up. ' To raise the needed sum and to satisfy a demand for re-served seats, 130 chairs have been kept out, leaving 420, many of which are fully as good as those re-served.

Our informant says that the only desire of the committee has been to provide a wholesome and elevating course of lectures and entertain-ments; Uiat tho committee does not make a cent o u t of the enterprise, ami that they pay for their own tickets and do the work beside.

The reason for the increasing cost of the courses is that the attractions have failed tosat-iufv the expectations of the com-mittee and its members have striven every year to get something let ter . The oommittee says that it is the people's lecture course and they hope, the public will appreciate and support it.

The DiKoverer of Swamp-Root at Work la Hli Laboratory.

There Is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep-tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by II—heart disease, pneumonia, hearl failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Then the richness of the blood—the albumen —leaks out and the sufferer has Brlght 's Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

Dr. Kilmer 's S w a m p « R o o t the new dis-covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder and urinary troubles. It has cured thousands of apparently hopeless cases, after all other efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book telling about Swamp-Root and Us wonderful cures. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N. Y. and mention this paper.

A Head that throbs, pains and aches, or feels heavy, stuf-"fy, dull or dizzy, is a poor head to do business with. It irritates the temper, up-sets the stomach, interferes with digestion and wears out the brain and nerves. Make the nerves strong, the brain clearN and your head will be right.

" H a d headaches from boyhood, and finally got so M-rvous t ba t I could n o t rest. Felt dizzy, dull, confused and could scarcely think connectedly. Dr. Miles' Nervine strengthened my nerves and made my head clear as a bell."

Getting Thin

is all right, if you are too fat;

and all wrong^if too thin already.

Fat, enough for your habit, is

healthy; a little more, or less, is

no great harm. Too fat, consult

i doctor; too thin, pereirte^tly

thin, no matter what cause, take

Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver

Oil.

There are many causes of get-

ring too thin; they all come

under these two heads: over-

work and under-digestion.

Stop over-work, if you can;

but, whether you can or not,

take Scott's Emulsion of Cod

Liver Oil, to balance yourself

with your wortc. You can't live

on it—true—but, by it, you

can. There's a limit, however;

you'll pay for it.

Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver

Oil is the readiest cure for

"can't eat," unless it comes of

your doing no wdrk--you can't long be well and strong, without some sort of activity.

The genuine has this picture on ft, take no other.

If you have not tried it. send for free sample, Its a -greeable taste will surprise you. SCOTT A BOWNE

"Of tbe whole number of persons supposed to die of disease," said a prominent Now York physician recent-ly, " I should say tha t a t least 60 per cent, a r e really carried away by fsar . Were It not for th i s element mortality4

would be far lass than It is." In aapport of h is s ta t sment he oiled

Tarloua cases where the element of fea r bad entered largely In a s a potent factor to persuade people tha t their t ime had come. Preeentmeots , pro-phecies, premonitions and general ner-vousneas all played their part . On tbe other hand, a abor t t ime ago a pa t ien t of a New York hospital waa f r igh ten-ed Into get t ing well. T h i s man waa brought in a n ambulance cupposedly dying from hea r l failure.

He waa laid on a table and a dlag-noala showed h i m to be suffer ing f rom hysteria . The aurgeon turned to one of his aaais tants and. asking for u knife, remarked t ha t he would cut down to tbe hear t , and find out wha t the trouble waa. Tbe pat ient gave a yell, and leaping f rom the table s t a r t -ed for the door. Remonstrance waa in vain. T h a t m a n was cured and never came hack.

S o n e years ago four c r ln ina l s , con-d s n a e d in Russ ia lo die, were t a k e n to a hooae and ahown several beds, In whleh they were told a number o( cholera pat ients had died. As a m a t -te r of tact, t h e beda were new, never h a v t a g been slept in. The cr iminals war* Informed tha t they would be aet a t l iberty if they would undergo t h e e rdsa l of sleeping several nlgbta in the beda. P rom the prisoner 's point of view it waa a possible, though dea-perata, chance of escape. They one a a d all decided to t a k e the chances. A t t h e snd of tho l ime prescribed, t w o were uninjured and went free; but t h e others developed all the symptoms and died of Asiatic cholera.

Twe nhysiclans determined to take a d m a t a g e of t h e Impressionable mind ef a female pa t ien t and prove a theory f a r t h e beneflt of science. The lady had complained of an itching on her hask . She was told tha t a blister weald be applied. Instead, a common postage s t amp was applied, and, so m a a the chronicle, performed all t he ofBees of the plaster which was not there .

A college professor was once the sub-ject of a practical joke al the bands of t h e students. They met him one a f t e r another , and each successively laqaired a f t e r his health, saying t h a t be looked 111. He took to his bed. a physician waa called and for days the profaaaor Imagined he was III.

Is ths fU^nblle la Daager t There a r e some wbo think tha t th i s

republic, which has weetbered so no-bly the s torms of war and of peace, wi l l go down on tbe aboals of hard timea; t ha t we as a nation cannot live through t h e headache induced by the. financial sprees of ourselves and others. We a re told that our dv i l i t a -Ueo and ou r goverament are fit only tor the daya of cotton and corn pros-perity. W e a re told tha t our whole Industr ial aystem. and the civilixauon ef which It fo rms a par t , must be t o rn up by the roots and cast away. We a r e told t h a t the days of self-control a a d asif-auflicicncy are over, and tba t t h s people of this nation a re really typified by the lawless bands rushing blindly h i ther and thither, clamoring for laws by which those men may be made rich whom all previous laws of God and m a n have ordained to be poor.

In theae timea It is well for us to remember tha t we come of hardy stock. The Anglo-Saxon race, with its • t reagth and virtues, was born of bard tksea . I t la not easily kept down: tbe vict ims of oppression must be of some other stock. We, who live la Am-erica and wbo consti tute tbe hear t of t h i s republic, are the sons and daugh-t e r s of "h im tbat overcometh." Ours i s a lineage untainted by luxury, un-coddled by charity, uncorroded by •lee. uncraahed by oppression. If i t were not ao we could not be here to-day.—David Starr Jordan In Popular Sstonoa Monthly. I

There are llltlo k inks In f a rming t ha t deserve tho name of being new In-dustr ies, and1 when they ore car r jed t o buocoMs in a novel way the dlacoveror should receive ful l crediL I wonder if there la any other man engaged in tho same pursuit a s a neighbor of mine, who gops about buying up all oheaii stock, chickens and other f a rm ani -mals that have a market . Hte Idea Is tha t there are plenty of poorly fe I f a rm an lmal i in the country, which If given a few weeks or months of care-ful a t tent ion and feeding, c mid bo t inned into first-class marketable p o ducta. ActinK on this idea he scour.i the count ry In h is wagon and even advert lues for poor, lean cattle, horses fowls, swine, and even ducks and geese. Anything. In fact, tha t provides meat for the markets , come under h.'s apeclaKy. He Is a good buyer, and never pays more for the animals t han they a re worth. He makoa frequent t r i p s to c't.e?. whore he maniiges Id buy young, half-starved horses, w^ilch ho ships out t o his farm, fe ds well, cu . r l e s thorouiffhly, and then sends thom back to the city to sell for near ly double tho price he paid for thorn. Hlo work Is a good ll lustralion of the val-ue of good keep'ng and good fee.linK in prepar ing an imals for market . Hn c la ims thait he can always sell his horpes and ca t t le at an advance of $1 per d a y for tlhe t ime he keeps them on the f a rm. Some require much longer t i m e .than others to mako thorn mark-e table . but a s a rule he can make Ihe t r ans fo rmat ion inside of a month Good feeding and dally currying not only make the horses look wlronger and fat ter , but their coat gets sleek a n d gloesy, a n d completely changes the animal 's appearance. In the case of cat t le and swine it Is merely a qiies Hon of fa t ten ing proper'y, and th i s Is accomplished by good feeding and not too much exerciee. The farm is di-vided up Into fat tening or fowling pens and pas ture lots. Connocted wibh It a r e exlenst tve fields of oorn. g rasc . rye and oats , where nearly all the food a raised necessary -to keep the cat t le H e never ra i ses o r breeds young cat-t le on the place, but depends entirely upon buying and selling. Thus his s lock Is constant ly changing. Quick sales and quick profits are li'a motto and he generally s u r r ^ d s In ge iting both. In may not be possible for many o thers to go Into this business, but this brief account of what one man has ac-complished may empbasire t h e value of good feeding and R«eplng. Many a f a r m e r undoubtedly falls to get full value for hie stock, and simply because tthey have not been fed properly to bring out the i r qualities.—C. W. Jones

H O G N O T E S .

Growing hogs should not be confined Have the quarters for the hogs clean

and dry. Give growing hogs a ra t ion to pro-

duce bone and muscle. A good t ight wmny feeding placi

will save feed. No animal about the fa rm gives *

bet ter re turn than t h e hog. I t dulls t he appet i te to lay food be-

f o r e the hogs all of t he time. Whi le hogs do not require a n expen-

sive shelter , i t Is verjr Impor tan t that It be dry.

I t Is no t good economy lo feed the fa t t en ing hogs, the growing p g s and i h e brood sows togethor:

If there a re young pigs to be winter-ed a good ahelter should be provided In good season.

As long a s the breeding an imals are doing well it will generally be found good p o l k y to keep them.

I n breeding especial care should be taken l o avoid a cross where the same defects exist in both sides.

The san i ta ry condl l lo t s of both sire and dam has muoh to do with the off-eprlng.

The hog having a variety of food will th r ive and maintain a healthy ap-pearance longer than one kept on corn alone.

If a p lank floor Is pot In the sleep-ing quar te r s have It close to the g round ; a raised floor is generally a cold one.

Judgment in breeding Is the outcome of experlenoe. A man may have lots Of experience and yet lack Judgnenf .

In selecting t h e brredlng animals It is quite an item to know that thev a re from a family noted for their fertil ty.

Desirable breeding qualities are fixed In a herd by a long line of caieful so-lertlon and breeding.

One of the best If not t be best rem-edy for worms . in hogs Is a little tu r -penMne mixed In with Ute fcod o r drink for four or five d a y s Th s Is also a good remedy for t humpi .

Notm of ronltry. A plan for supplying the public with

fresh eggs is being tried in Germany in the hopes that t will increa-e the demand for a s t r ctly freK'.i ar t icle . Egg depots are to be e tabllshed in tho principal cities at which the quaU'-V and frei-hness of the e?g? will be guar -anteed. For every bad egg f o u g h t th« purchaser is entitled to get 15 gO)d ones. Every poultryman has to mark all eggs which he semi" to ono of t h 0 s e depots In such a way t i n t they can b» traced back t o him. and if it 1? found t h a t he furnishes bad eggs as f e i h ones he will not t e allowed to sell t o the depots.

If >ou have plenty of room, try to keep your fowls away f rom the im-mediate premUes of the house; if tn?y do not. they will become troublesome and not thrive nearly so well. If you must keep them confined, t ry to c' a n e e their place of ccnfinemvnt as f r equen t ly as may be possible

In raising poultry for profit, t he re Is not so much in the breeds as the re 'a In the ra e and a t ' en t lon you give thea i Plenty of f ted . other th ings being equal will mako marketable fowls of a lmos t any of f i e many bre.-ds tha t arc now being offered for sale.

I t Is never wise to buy breeding Block a t the beginning of the breeding senson. Buy it before, so that rt will bave become used to lti« new surround-ings before the breeding season com menccs.

CRAZY WOMEN'S VANITY;

Mania* F o r Cosmet lee a n d "Make I ' p " Doctora Have to F a c e .

I t Is n curious fac t t b a t many Insane women n r e possessed wi th nn insntla-ble vani ty nnd a mania for " m a k e up." says t h o London Express . Sometime* the only way to keep t h e peace with such pnt len ls Is to allow them a cer-tain f r eedom In tho use of cosmetics.

A w a v e of unmanagcnbleiiosH o f t e n passoa over the woman ' s side of an asy-lum If t h e mater lnl of n n e w uni form dress deserves the tit le of dowdy . .Many Insane women will t ea r a somber brown gown to shreds , bu t If It Is a p re t ty blue or a s m a r t red they pre-serve It careful ly aga ins t spots nnd d u s t T h e efTcct t b a t dress h a s on the Insane Is so well known tha t the lunacy commissioners mako special comments In the i r odlolal r epor t s t o t b e lord chan-cellor on the colors nnd mater ia l of tbe gowns supplied to women In the vari-ous asylumn.

Very clever devices to obta in cosmet-ics nre resorted to by pa t i en t s Infected with the nianin of vani ty w h o have been nccustonied to art i f icial a ids to beauty . They noak paper roses In wa-te r and use Hie t in ted resul t a s a cheek reddener , or they put tho red covers of books borrowed from tbe nHylum libra-ry In a basin of lu l l ing wa t e r and bot-tle t b e carmine fluid for f u t u r e face use. Fresh flowers of reddish t inge nre crushed and used on faded cheeks and wrinkled skins.

One former society beauty , now In nn asylum. Is perfectly t r ac tab le so long as she Is allowed to wear n curly fa lse f r i nge nnd to use a modified amoun t of rouge and powder. If these are taken away , she becomes suicidal and re-f u s e s to oat.

Another notable example Is tha t of an old woman with gray ha i r wbo be-comes homicidal when s h e Is deprived of n beaut i ful golden wig suited to a girl of 17. T b e exper iment was tr ied once, but so much violence resulted tha t the commissioners recommended t ha t she should he allowed to retain her headdress. Before admission to the asy lum she bad poisoned three per-sons. But t be wig and plenty of pink powder keep her peaceable and con-tented.

T h e f r iends of pa t i en t s who find their bappluess In personal decoration b r ing them small packets of cosmetics, or r a the r they smuggle them In, for such articles nre contraband and aga ins t the rules. Though their minds a r e gone, t be pa t i en t s a re clever enough to make little boles In their mnt t resses and to Invent most cunning h id ing places for their t reasures. In those cases where restriction of toilet appl iances Increases Insane outbreaks , t b e a t t endan t s let these little l>eauty s tores pass by unnoticed. So long as t h e make up Is not too evident t be at-t endan t s do not Interfere.

Strictly speaking, curl papers a re not allowed iu asylums. As a m a t t e r of fact , their use Is overlooked. Curled f r inges and wavy locks of ten make a l l the difference be tween peace and rebellion. Tbe Ingenuity displayed by feeble minds iu tu rn ing everyday arti-cles to facial use Is o f t e n surpris ing.

Brick dust, scraped from the asylum walls, and powdered hear ths tone have f requent ly figured on faces In lieu of rouge aud powder. A spoonful of red cu r r an t Jnm provided a week ' s roses fo r pale cheeks. Indelible pencil, coal dus t and blacklend m a k e a dark stalu f o r colorless eyelashes and out l ine de-ficient or white eyebrows.

A handful of flour begged from the kitchen Is a n excellent subs t i tu te for toilet powder, while gray or faded hair Is sometimes tinted with a s t rong de-coction of tea leaves. A tendency to tight lace to such t iny proportions as t o Interfere with sani ty and bodily health is ano ther foible of t h e woman with unhinged mind. Abnormal waists a r e counteracted by lacing the corset with elastic.

An Insane asylum would not sopri fo offer many tempta t ions to Its Inmates to rival ffne ano ther in dress and beau-ty. But generat ions of women pa-t ients a p p e a r to m a k e themselves hap-py by following a feminine Instinct to be personally a t t rac t ive .

Ku Yum lived her little life in n Inrge room In the top story of n Snn Fran-

cisco ChltiHtown tpiipmpiit. It wai

qui te a plcasnnt place, willi bamboo pnncls hanging on the wnlls and a ga\

ma t t ing on tbe floor—airy and nun-flblnj'. too, witii a breeze from the b a j

wander ing tbrougli the windowa. wblcb

opened on to a balcony lirlgbt with flowering plants and bowls of Chinese lilies.

Ku Yum was scarcely as liigb a s the rai l ing around the balcony, and passers

In tbe s treet below who might happen to glance up could easily discern hei

small black head through the rails. 11 w a s nearly a lways there, for Ku Yum

liked well to watch the life In the

s t reet . Besides, Ku Yum was on the lookout for a little sister. There was noth ing In this world tha t Ku Yum wan ted so much as a little sister.

K u Yum had two small brothers to play with nnd an old nurse to look a f t er ber. She bad an elder brother, too, but he lived down s ta i r s with her fa t h e r and the men who worked in hei f a t h e r ' s c igar factory. He w a s li! yea rs old antl went to the Chinese gov-ernment school, so t ha t Ku Yum had almost as much respect for him a s she had for her parent .

One day Ku Yum said to her nurse, "I wish I had a little sister ."

And her nurse replied: "You have be t te r Mian a little sister. Vou hare brothers ."

"Hut I more badly w a n t wha t Is like myself than what is bet ter ," persisted Ku Yum.

I was about 4 o'clock in the after-noon, i ler fa ther hail taken her broth-ers to a hill where they could fly their kites, and Ku Yum w a s alone with her nurse. Tho old woman was stitching rows of imitatinn pearls upon a bright colored velvet band t ha t was to adorn Ku Yurn's bead dur ing the first days ol t be coming New Year. The little girl sa t ou a stool learning how to em-broider.

"Tell me a story, Woo Ma." she pleaded.

And Woo Ma, the nurse, told her a story of one who had a t ta ined to great honors because when a lad of 1> he had cheerful ly cut a piece of flesh out of his a rm to please his mother, who had ex-pressed a wisli to see blood flow.

Ku Yum did not like tha t story and Insisted tha t a mis take had been made In tbe telliug and t ha t It could not have been the boy's mother that had allowed him to c u t his flesh—that it mus t have been his nurse.

"Oh," exclaimed the old woman, " w h a t a tongue the child has. Listen, then, and I will tell you w h a t you will like to hear ," and she began:

"Every year when tho almond tree bursts into bloom the Queen of Mercy, seated on a lily throne, wraps a spirit sword In n cloth of violets and gives it lo a dove that flies with It Into the heavens"—

"Bu t how can a l i t t le bird carry any-thing so heavy as a sword?" asked Ku Yum, examining a weapon made of Chinese cash s t rung together which hung over a couch in a c o m e r of the room, a charm to ward away evil spir-its.

"I said that it w a s a spir i t sword," replied tbe nurse ra ther crossly. She #1d not like to lie in ter rupted .

Some one knocked nt the door. It was the tailor's wi fe from across the street. I l e r baby boy, who the day be-fore had "completed the moon," which means nltaincd to the age of one month, had, according to eslabllshed Chinese custom, been shaved then for the first time. The result w a s a violent cold, and Ihe mother was anxious tha t Woo Ma. who w a s skilled In nursing sick children, should accompany her back to Ihe house. So away went Woo Ma. leaving Ku Yum alone.

Now there were d reams In Ku Yum's •yes and longings in her heart , and fiva minutes af ter tlie depar ture of Woo Ma saw Ihe little girl slipping quietly down the tenement ' s steep stairs . Up-on reaching the street she looked around wonderingly and perceiving a ebild of aboul iier own age greeted her. Bu t the child f rowned and flung out

i e r a rm as If to strike, and Ku f n r n walked on, saying to herself, "Tha t In not my little sister."

Two little girls carrying a basket be-tween them smiled nt her as they pass-ed. Ku Yum smiled liack, but did not speak, for she thought, "They are two, and my sister will he one."

She cas t wistful glances into the doorways of houses where children were playing, but nobody In particular seemed to wish for her company. In-deed, some girls mocked al her. and one boy pulh'd the silk cord out of her braid.

Wander ing on, she finally found her-self outside the precincts of China-town. She hail never been so f a r away from home without Moo Ma. but she was not a f ra id , and the shop windows were wonderful . She had paused to admire some colored c lass balls In a showcase, when she fell a timid touch on her shoulder and saw a little Amer loan girl s tanding beside her. Could a little American girl be her sister'.' She s t retched out her hand and touched the child's face lovingly, and the tiny white maiden moved closer and kissed Ku Yum on tlie cheek.

"1 have been looking for you," began Ku Yum, nnd then a woman rushed up nnd dragged ihe l i t t le American girl a way. ,

Ku Yum felt discouraged. It was get t ing dark , and she had lost her way. Pnssersby stared curiously at her. Some paused as if to speak, but seeing tha t It was a little Chinese girl who could not unders tand Ihem proceeded on their way.

Suildeniy Ku Yum felt something s h a r p s t r ike hrr cheek, il was a peb-ble. Ku Yum bounded from her corner like a ilflie kitten, and Ihe boy who had th rown Ihe pebble, joined by oth-ers of his kind, pursued. The appear-ance of a policeman, however, put a stop to Ihe chase, and while Ihe officer was shaking his baton at the boys Ku Yum ran pantlngly up a hill and sank down exhausted outside a fenced gar-den. where she lay sobbing and shiver-ing in the ••old nnd dark, it was hard Indeed lo find a little sister.

Half an hour later a gentleman stum-bled over a little heap outside his gar-den gale.

"Hello." he exclaimed when the light of a match revealed Ku Yum. " i t ' s a t iny Chinese girl!" Whereupon Ku Yum, who had been sleeping Just as soundly as tbough she were at home, rubbed her eyes, opened them and be-gan to cry.

" H a v e I hurt you. mfdget?" asked the gent leman In Chinese. He had liv-ed In China for a number of years,

Ku Yum shook her head, but contin-ued crying, end the gent leman took her by the hand and led her Into the house.

"Why. Edward, who is this'/" asked a lady, coming fo rward lo meet them.

"Tba t Is for you to find out. my dear ," replied the gent leman.

Then the lady, who could also speak Ku Yum's language, drew Ihe little girl to her side and gave her a hot cup of cocoa. And Ku Yum censed crying nnd answered the kind questions Hint were put to her. telling also of her big longing for n little sister.

Tea r s filled Ihe lady's eyes. "I 'oor little human." said she. "She lifts be-gun to seek a sister soul." And she took Ku Yum in her a rms and comfort-ed and pelted her ns Ku Yum had not been comforted nnd petted since her mother died two years before.

The next morning Ihe lady took Ku Yum home. The little girl was very quiet while her fa ther talked witli her new friend, but when Woo Ma appear-ed she ran lo Ihe old womnn's side and. pointing to Ihe Indy. cried Jubilantly, "Behold my little sister!"—Chicago Evening Post.

AN OMAHA POKER STORY

T h o u e l i t IliK I ' l uye ia W e r e Miur t o f <>••' t h o l i e t i M B U u « V t - r j r L h e l y .

The story of the big poker gam played on a train between Chicag and New York, and concluded In Qotn am, *wu8 u good one. It was u big game, too, but it was not a m a r k e r to one played in Omaha a few days ago. The men engaged in tho Chicago-New York game had money to cremate , while Ihe parties In the Omaha game were ra ther shor t on cash. Hownver, the lack of cash did not prevent some lively bett ing, and Caere are several husbands who are wondering where certain art icles of Jewelry have gone.

The game In question was played in a private house, and tho part ici-pants were seven marr ied women. It was a small game to s t a r t with—1 cent an te and 10 cents l imit—but as is of-ten the case the limit was raised and the fun Increased. Mrs. BJones p lckei up a set of threes and as she moved her ante to the cent re she remarked t ha t she never did like these l i t t le ante games.

Mrs Kersmythe smiled as she "skin-ned the cards" and observed t ha t she held aces up, and remarked t ha t noth-ing would please her more t h a n to take the roof off.

"Well, 1 am not much of a sport ," said Mrs. McMac, "bu t I am ready to make the game a l i t t le s t i f fer ."

Other par t ic ipants were of the same opinion, so the limit was taken off and the real fun began. It was a case of bluff, raise, come again and raise some more, and when the supply of cash gave out little ar t ic les of Jewelry be-gan to appear on the table. The trouble culminated with a Jack pot. 11 was opened with a pair of kings, and everybody stayed. The opener shoved five pennies a dime, a h a t pin and a silver glove but toner to the crn-tre. The next player raised with a quarter , a brooch and aft exchange check having 17 cents yet due thereon. The third player saw by shoving In a quarter , a silver f r iendship hea r t and a package of sen-sen. The fourth studied her hand for several moments and then bet an empty but s.lver mounted purse. Tho fifth player came In with a pair of silver mounted side combs, the sixth wi th the gold chain that anchored her eyeglasses, and the seventh ended It all with a turquols.e ring.

No. Six won Ihe pot with three tens. She Insisted t ha t her gold chain was worth J3, and t ha t every player must give ber | 3 in casn to redeem her Jew-elry. This is disputed by others , who Insist tha t t h e r had no Intention of bett ing so high. But No. 6 holds on to the stuff and will not le t go until she gets the th ree plunks, and the others say she Is a peal mean th ing and a "poker sharp . " The game has been temporari ly broken up.

President Eliot of Harvard told this story at the Cornell Club dinner the other evening:

"A friend of mine, a college pro 'es-sor. went Into a crowded res taurant In New York city fo r luncheon one hot day last summer." The negro In charge of the big corr idor where the ha t shelves stood was an lutall lgent-look-ing fellow, and his bow and smile were not of the obsequious, stupid kind often affected by colored wal le ts and doormen In hotels. He took my fr iend's ha t and gave no check fpr It In re turn . An hour later when the pro-fessor came out of the d inning room, the negro glanced at him In a com-prehensive way, turned to the shelves and handed blm his hat.

"My friend Is a man who prides him-self on his powers of observation, and the negro 's abi l i ty to remember to whom each ar t icle of c lothing belonged struck him as being something very wounderful .

" 'How did you know th is was my ha t? ' he. asked.

" ' I d idn ' t know It, sab , " was the re-ply.

" 'Then why did you give It (o me? ' the professor persisted.

" 'Because you gave It to me. e a h . ' "

To begin with, he's "a good fellow." Tha t ' s a phrase easier understood by men than by women. It g e n ' r a ly* means—well. It means he ' s an allround good sort In the male line.

Saturday af ternoon he was feeling pret ty good. He had been qu ' t e th l r : -ty. If what he had taken was to be Judged ns a criterion. And the I HUH tions left him in a thoroughly g o i d humor, and he felt a t peace with the world.

In this del ightful mental nnd phvp| cal s la te he bethought blm of a f r iend of his ID Providence, il. I. And he fur-ther thought t ha t he would tal l up t ha t part icular f r iend on the telephone.

So he went to a Broad stroef hotel, told the young - woman there who had

charge of the 'phone that he wanted to speak to Mr. So-and-So In Provldenee, and wouldn' t she kindly tai l up the party.

The girl did as she was bade. "Pa r ty ' s on the 'phone," she sa 'd .

and the njan. went Into the te lephone box, sut down and put the receiver to his oar.

And then he calmly and sweetly dropped off to sleep.

When he woke up he owed Ihe tele-phone eompnny 132 90.

He said he wouldn't pay It—but he ' ' 'd .

pet ra te t b a t swindle he had had a nar-row escape, and be realized tba t In a way he waa still under the surveil lance of *he police, bu t I put him down a s a man not t o be easily fr ightened. I found I w a s right In this. When I had s ta ted my errand, he laughed in tny f ace and called me a fool. Between ourselves he did not deny the swind le On tbe cont rary , he boasted of the slick way in frhlch It had been worked. H e bad fu rn i shed the brains, and John Saunders w a s I h e ca t spaw. H e had se-cured £10,000 of tho monby and eHcap-ed the law. : while bis par tner had fled, to a foreign land wi th tho remnant and died a m o n g s t rangers .

"My dea r sir ," bo said aa he smiled i n d rocked to and fro, "you were a dolt to come on any sucb er rand . You have papers, but I would not glvo you the price of a d inner fo r them. I a m solid, and you can ' t d i s tu rb me. Go to Scot-land Yard, go to the a t torney, do what y6n will, and I shall only laugh at you."

Neither Scotland Yard nor the attor-neys could help me In the caae. While It couldn't be called blackmail , It was an a t t empt to squeeze money out of a swindler. The one Interview satisfied me that my mission w a s a fai lure, and I bade Mr. Smallwood good day wi th a s much courtesy as 1 could assume. I t waa abou t luncht lme when I l e f t his ofllce. aud I dropped Into a modest res-t i i i l rant fo r a light meal. I had scarce-ly got seated when a s t ranger w^o had a seedy-genteel look about him asked pefmlaslon to take the opposite side of tbo table, saying he had some Informa-tion t o give me. When we had begun on ou r meal, he sa id :

" I aaw you leave old Smallwood's of-fice and followed you. H a a he done you a Bad t o r n ? " v l did not give my case a w a y In re-plying, b u t gave blm to unders tand Quit t he money lender had refused to

J M t t e square th ing by me. •Tie 's a cur, a cheat , a swindler and

all t h a t ' s mean and contemptible!" con-t inued the s t ranger , w l t b a good deal of feelmg. " H e haa cheated and

j w f m g e d me, and I can ge t no sat isfac-tion. Today, however , I learned of a n Incident tn bis pas t l ife t h a t will give me a good hold on him. I mus t go to Liverpool to complete my Information. If you^wll l go along and become re-sponsible for expenses, I will share the Information wi th you."

ft)r awhi le I w a s chary of tbe man, th ink ing he might be In the pay of Smallwood, bn t I finally decided t ha t I cojild lose nothing by t ru s t ing him. Hmailwood had once lived In Liverpool nbder another name and had been f t i l l ty of a c r ime for which he had to flee to Braall and remain for several years . T h i s man, who gave the n a m e of Duff, proposed to go down and look np t h e ma t t e r and put the police on the • c e n t H e w a s going to do th i s out of revenge, but in my case I had no re-venge to g ra t i fy . I thought It might be a good th ing to hold over Smallwood

a s a bluff, however, and I promised to reward Duff If anyth ing came of it. In tho course of a couple of hours I re-turned to the money lender's ofllce. He greeted me affably and laughingly said;

"1 have henrd liiat yon Yankees are a persistent race, but in tills case you are simply wast ing your shoo leather. I suppose you have come to make a new offer?"

" 1 ' h a v e come about t ha t Liverpool affa i r ," I replied, and 1 went on and s ta ted the na ture of his crime and tho name he used to sail under.

Tho shot told. The man grew nerv-ous and pale faced, nnd when I had concluded he said:

"How you becured your Information I do not know, but 1 will f ranklv admit that it Is part ly correct. 1 have little fear tha t the police would meddle with me at tills late date, but I do not care to have the affa i r stirred up. I am will-ing to make a fa i r financial arrange-ment wl tb Saunders ' widow."

That was a mat te r to be talked over a t another meeting. I was a bit stir-

£rispd that Smallwood should give in quickly, but concluded that the Liv.

erpool affa i r was ra ther serious and tha* like a mad of sense he preferred to part with a couple of thousaud soon-er than have' It resurrected. He hat' rooms over his ofllce, and I w a s to sup with blm on the next ovenlng but one at R o'clock, aud the matter of restitu-tion would bo arranged. I w«mt to the piace appointed by fiuff to.mee* him. but ho was not there. 1 had given him my nddresH. but he did not call on me. As a mat te r of fact , 1 never saw him again. Af ter he had played his part he van i shed

When 1 made luy third call on Stnnll-WOQ I, 1 was cordially received, and while waltjlng fcir supper to be served 'we.came to an understundinK. l ie was to give me $10,000 for Saunders ' wid-ow. and I was to Rive him a receipt in full . He Rfew goeiable and jolly aa the affa i r was concluded, and my glas*-was no sooner empty than he pressed me to drink again. Of a sodden thing? began to whirl , and then came a blank. Wben I recovered consciousness. It waa morning, nnd I was lying on a cot lied in a Strauge room. My head buzzed and racked, my throat w a s as dry a s paper, and a s 1 rolled out of bed and a t tempted to s tand my knees gave way nnd let me down. A s t range man came to me nnd talked, and 1 was given something to dr 'uk. bu t It was late in the af ternoon before my brain w a s cienr enouph to unders tand things. As 1 sa t un on the edce of ' h e bed and wondered what had happened .and where I was a quiet spoken man who had th«» look of a doctor e r te red and sat down beside me and fe l t my pulse and saidf

"You will do now if you keep q u i e t I^et me say for your encouragement tha t cases Just s s bad a s yours have been cured In thr^e months. The great oolut Is to avoid exci tement ."

" In the firs' place, where am IT' I asked.

" In Dr . Colwell 's pr ivate lunatic asylum." he replied.

"Who brought me here?" • "Your fr iends. The loss of your mon-

ey In t ha t Peruv ian speculation unbalr auced your mind. You will be well cared fo r here, and If you aid me a s you should your detention will not last over three months." ,

"I see how It Is," I said as I looked him s t ra ight ' n the rye . '.'1 am Indebt-ed to Smallwood for this. He drugged mc and had me brought here t ha t he might havo time to fix u p his a f fa i r s end skip. 1 demand my l l b e r y th i s in-s tan t !"

"Come, come," be replied in a coax-ing way as he pat ted me on the shoul-der. "1 know no one naiped Small-wood. Y'our f r iends In Beacon s t ree t brought you here, and Dr. Henry m a d e out the papers. All was perfectly reg-ular. Let us have no excitement. Din-ne r .will be ready In half an hour. Meanwhile think It over ."

in that half hour I figured it out . Smallwood had drugged and abducted me. It mlRiit or might not be a pr ivate Insane asylum, but the man had surely been bribed to hold me fas l for a t ime. If 1 raised a row. It would be the worsn for me. If 1 remained passive, I would be set at liberty as soon ns the money lender lef t the country. 1 decided to make the best of things, aud when the doctor returned I w a s very quiet. • The two of us a te supper together In a small room and were waited upon by an old woman. He called me Mr. Per-rine, and, according to his talk, I was a member of a mercant i le firm in Lort-don. Next morning ' w a s taken to walk In a nar row garden surrounded by high walls. 1 Rot sight of no other person, nor could 1 make out wha t sor t of place 1 was in. Dur ing the day I had the use of a s i t t ing room off my bed-room. I t looked out on the rear yard, and the windows were barred. I won given plenty of readlnR matter , and the doctor played chess with 4ne. and tak-en al together the t ime did not pass un-pleasantly. In the three weeks I waa in the house 1 saw only the doctor and the old woman. At 9 o'clock one even-IUR I was told tha t m y cure w a s com-plete and ten minutes later w a s being driven a w a y f rom t h e building in a closed c a r r i a g e / Af te r an hour 's r ide I was set down In a s treet In Whlte-chapel, and had I been backed by all the police of London I could not have found the house where 1 had been held capt ive. Smallwood had been gone a week—gone no one knew where. While 1 do not believe there was anyth ing In t h " Liverpool .ptory. told me by Duff, tbe money lender w a s more a f ra id of me than he need have been and had nlayed me a pre t ty little trick to give himself t ime to set t le up his affa i rs and move on. I did not go to the police officially, but 1 did tell the story to a detective on the quiet. How they would have regarded It a t Scotland Yard may be Judged from w h a t the officer' said to me. At the end of the ••ory he winked and grinned and ob-served: v

Diwcy 's school is the school of F a r -r r an t . F a n a g u t ' s l ieutenant still M»vi8 under his old master, says Coi-Mir's Weekly.

'I remember him sayinR once," tho admiral relates, " tha t , however anx-ious you might be yourself, it was like-ly tha t the enemy was equally, if not more, anxious. Str ike him first put him on the defensive, and you have tho advantage."

Except tha t Fa r ragu t ' s theory h i s been proved r igh t in all great naval campaigns, there is no reason why all our naval commanders should como f r o m the same mold; least df all they should look . alike. But thdse who know the admiral , and have paused in passing to rest the i r eyes for a moment on St. Gauden's s ta tue of Farragut in Madison Square, must have been struck by the facial resemblance of Ihe two greatest heroes of our navy.

We have become so familiar with tho steretoyped photograph of the Admir-al, published on all hands immediately a f t e r his victory, that 1 fear tho llrst impression has left no room In our

minds for the liner and stronger look-ing admiral of reality. This photo-graph was taken in Washington when he was poorer in health and much poorer in flesh than he is now. Doubt-less the Iritentlonsv of the man who made it were entirely honorable. He might have posed the admiral l ook ing ' direct Into the lens. In the manner of a doll-faced actteaw. Then we should not have had even a sugKestlon of tho admiral ' s flue nose, to say nothing of the wrinkles around tho admira l ' s eyes. In this Instance, have h e m so carefully, erased. To the civilian these wrinkles mark the various promotions just as surely as the naval reg s ter marks them for the naval officer. If the sculptor who gave us a t rue Fa r r a -gut will give us a t rue Dewey, t ha t Dewey will have the eyes of Far ragut . Eyes an 'us tomed to looking where tho horizon meets the sea! Eyes having that peculiar expression of keenness and good-hnmor which is seldom soon except in the eyes of a sailor! Eyes which saw the white flag over Manila before any other officer! it has seem-ed to me. Indeed, that the eves of the admiral represented his care for the happiness and the comfort of his men, while hif s t rong nose and chin stood watch lest they be too lenient. They twinkled when he told his offlters to br ing their wives to Manila if they wished, but not to count on shore leave.

" In his discipline." said one of bis officers, t W admiral has the manner of a homeopathist , but bis doses are of ten al lopathic."

Sometimes a mar t ine t on principle, he never is a l neart . The fai lh of the Ja'ckles in hlln is the same as that ot the officers, i t is absolute. They still call him the old man among them-selves. Before s t rangers they call him t h e admiral , tor they are proud beings who have flnally condescended to for-

One day the news of tbe depar ture of Camara ' s squadron for Manila brought the admiral face to face with a third simple proposition, which he solved as easily as be had solved the first two. He wrote a cablegram to be sent to the Navy Department , suggest-ing tha t Camara would tu rn back i t the United States were to make a de-monst ra t ion nn the coast of Spain.

" I had bet ter a t tend to my own a f -fairs ." he aaid to Captain Lamber ton, otf second thought . "Advice to the De-par tment f rom th is distance comes with poor taste, I fear . " *" I should like t o know who has a

r ight to m a k e a suggestion If you hav-en ' t ," said the captain. 'You have whipped one fleet in this harbor , and it is you who will have to fight Cam-a r a If he comes."

The cablegram was sent, and It had the desired result , as we know. There was no objection to the publication In America, and especially in Spanish papers, of the intent ion of the Navy Department to send a squadfon acros-? the Atlant ic under the command of Commodore Watson. Camara. having paid a heavy toll to pass through the Suez, passed back again, and t h ' s by the foresight of the admiral, bloodshed and enough vessels for tho nucleus of a hew Spanish navy were spared. Mean-time he had decided what he would do If Camara came.

"Supposing I were to sail out of the bay. and leave you and your force lo your own resources for a few davs. what would you do?" he asked Major-General Anderson.

"Take th i r ty day's rations, go to the mountains, build trenches and bo per-fectly comfortable ." was tbe reply. . "Aa Camara will arrive two or three days before the Monterey, and 1 need her," was the reply. "I sbrtil sail we t-ward to meet her. nnd then return to meet the enemy."

Though Inferior in weight cf m r t i l to Camara ' s squadron, there could have been l i t t le doubt of the result If be had faced Camara without the Mont-rev 's nssistance. A victory without the Monterey would have meant mere glory for his command than vlqtory with the Monterey. But a victory without the Monterev might have en-tailed more loss of life and more dam-ngo to our vessels than otherwise. As the admiral unders tands the art of .var. It is not bril l iant deeds for tbal r own sake, but to do the enemy much with as much advantage as possible to yourself.

A little group of newspaper a r t i s t s were discussing Uie subject of dogs-

"Well . I lived out In Kansas be fore 1 came east ," said one. '1 had a dog that used to do Ills best to bold back f re igh t trains. The t ra ins a l w a y s bad to stop to take on water , and my dog would frfsten his teeth Into tho rear step of tho cabijose. nnd when the

Mraln would st int lie would do b is best to hold It. only l e t t i ng go when tho pace pot too hot for blm. The train crow all knew blm. and one day they sot up a job on tbo poor pup. T h e y had a cargo of r a w hides, and one of the t r a lmuen cut off a cow's tall and fas-tened It to tho end of the caboose. W h e n the dog saw this, ho j u s t Ignor-«?d his favor i te s t ep and fas tened his teeth Into the caudal appendage of tha t d e f u n c t cow for keeps. H e got his teeth nU tangled up to It. and when the train s tar ted and got going f a s t e r nnd fas te r bo couldn't let go. Tbe last I s aw o t blm he w a s being swal lowed up In a cloud of dus t In tho w a k e of tho t rain. I

" H e didn' t get back , home fo r three days, and t h r u he w a s minus most of bis teeth. A f t e r t ha t you couldn ' t get him within a hundred yards of t h e rail-road stat ion."—Philadelphia Record.

BoomtnK m O m e t c r r . Cecil Rhodes once tttted up a beauti-

ful cemetery nea r Klmber ley , but for some reason" It remained uDtonanted. Seeing this. Mr. Rhodes offered a bo-nus to widows wbo would, b r ing their husbands to be burled In bis cemetery, but without avai l . Eventua l ly one poor woman allowed her husband to be burled there, and a handsome mar-ble stone w a s erected over bis grave .

But even then tbe scheme h u n g flre. Tbo Inhabi tants pass ing the gates of the beaut i ful cemetery would look through tbe ra i l ings and«see the one man lying there In solitary s t a t e and go away shak ing their beads and t h i n k i n g ' h o w lonely It m u s t be. Mr. Rhodes got so exaspera ted t h a t he in-creased tbe bonus until It w a s a large sum. Tlion the Inhabi tan ts (gradually began to weaken, one a f t e r ' t h e other, bringing their dead to tbe lonely ceme-tery. which became a s popular as ' sucb a place can properly be.

When she1 received her first "very own" doll, a f t e r a succession of treas-ures Inheriited f rom her older sisters, she turnedIto her mother a f ace full of rapture.

"I expected I'd have a doll some day." she s a i d . breathlessly, "but I d idn ' t e^pcct I should ever have my expect!"—Exchange.

.4 JamMlran Rxperlenee. For some years a f t e r my marr iage 1

lived at Old Harbor, a small place about 20 ihllejs f rom Kingston. One day when a visit to my Kingston dress-maker was n necessity I ordered a young negro boy to get upon the rum-ble nnd dr ive me to the town.

I paid my visit to t be dressmaker , and. receiving my frock, a light sum-mer thing, froih her. I placed It In the box benea th tijc buggy sent nnd drove on to my s i s t e r ' s / w h o r e I went In to. escape the heated pa r t of th? day. giv-ing m j boy sixpence and bidding him see tlie s ights and ' r e tu rn nt 4 o'clock.

He tuijbed np punctua'lly. with the grin still oil. his face, and In due t ime we reached Old Harbor onoe more.

When I went to t a k e out my crispy muslin. I found, to my constornailon. It was a wet. sloppy mass. No rain had fh'ilen. nnd even then—

I turned to the boy: "Solomon, what In the world does this menu? How"— But the look of ut ter helpless amnze-mcnt on his face slopped me.

"Lor ' , missus. It am queer, but n' j t so queer ns wbnt done happen to Qje.

burg called up one of his New York lawyers by long dis tance telephone.

The s teelmaker wanted to ask a question, but could not make himself understood clenrly over the telephone, so he asked the lawyer to come to P i t t sburg .

The lawyer said be had an Important appolntmebt In Now York next day and could not get away .

"Como over now. then," Mr. Carnegie aald. . . .
