Streets When People are Caught out in the
Rain.
Chicago Journal
Did you ever notice how people per-
form when storm comes up or the rain
comes down? Of course you didn't. You
were too busy looking out for yourself.
As Sam Jones said about sinners on iudg-
ment day, they will quit attending to
other peoples affairs about that time be-
cause they will have an important job en-
hand saving themselves. SO when the
big drops begin to strike the pavements
and throw the spray back into your face,
very severe fit of minding their own
business seizes upon everybody. Dignity;
etiquette and courtesy vanish with the
sun, and selfishness comes with the cloud.
There is a general rise in dress goods and
quite decline in feathers. Women turn
from butterflies to nuns. The umbrella
croaker slides down as if from the top of
some building where he had been watch
ing for the rain, and confronts all who
forgot that article, The shoeshiner slides
into stairway with grin because of the
harvest the mud will bring. The maiden
attached to poodle by her affections and
a string gathers the wet curly cur in her
arms and seeks a car to the disgust of
everybody. The artificial dame forgets
the powder and paste, a few rain drops
steal down her cheeks leaving streaks
where they run, and the spectacle of an
ancient head and a modern bust ap-
pears.
The umbrella brigade is at once in
marching order. They present as for
midable a phalanx as the warriors with
their testudo Of shining shields before the
walls of Troy. They move on the street
crossings. All try to cross at once. With
as little Judgment as sheep trying to pass
a narrow gate, they crowd and impede
each other.
The slow-going old gentleman from In
diana takes the scene for a procession
and calmly stands on the corner in the
rain waiting for it to pass. The dude
with the Grape high on his hat to show
the depth of his grief gives an urchin a
dime to call a conveyance, and handsome
in hanson away he goes. The youth in
whose breaet tender feeling are beginning
to stir, runs half mile after protection
for some fair head, and when he re turns
painting and wet and says he ''don't mind
1t Bit" she smiles and the sun comes
out-the crowd Stacks up and takes
breath, the bow appears, the people put
OFF their wraps, the ladies loosen their
clutch on their skirts, the umbrellas are
turned into walking sticks, the news-boy
bounds from the alley with loud cry for
his papers with the latest sensation, the
shower is forgotten and the city world
slows up and dries off.

Fashionable Boarding School.

There is fashionable boarding school
in New York where the young ladies are
taught to enter and get out of a carriage.
A vehicle with the proper pedal arrange
ment for this sort of exercise, which de-
termines a lady's breeding and claim to
social position, is kept in the back yard
of the educational establishment, and
there the carriage classes are put through
the most arduous training. Another &C
complishment peculiar to this gilt-edged
academy is learning to eat asparagus,
oranges, grapes and other juicy and I'M
manageable viands in style that shall
represent the perfection of table man
ners. Of course these are luxuries, and
like French and Italian, included in the
extras" but then the social creed of to-
day sticks at nothing, not even at this
expensive form of higher education.

Senator Hearst's Ideal Life
Gt T opia GIpha- Dapnoarar

Mrs. Senator Hearst is rapidly develop
ing as one of the social leaders in Wash,
ington, with her parlor lectures, recep-
tons, teas, and so on, writes a CORES
pOndent. She is only second to Mrs.
Whitney in value to the society news
writer's. The senator, however, retains
all his rough diamoud ways and glories
in them. He is particularly fond of
dropping into an informal chat with
newspaper men who call to inquire
about some Pacific coast matter, and
when he gets started he runs on in this
way:
IF [ had it to do over again [ wOuldn' t
be rich There isn't much satisfaction
after all in being & millionaire. Your
money brings lot of people about you,
but l believe that your are better off not
to know these people. My idea of real
enjoyment is different from this. If [
was starting again I'd go west and have
chicken ranch. I'd locate in some fer
tile, well-sheltered valley in the noun
tains, get $50 acres and raise chickens.
just think of the satisfaction of getting
up in the morning and going out in the
splendid clear air and looking after the
cOOps. And just think of sitting down
to a 6-weeks-old chicken fried, with corn
bread and coffee. That is what call
genuine comfort
And then the rugged old gold hunter
will relapse into silence, wrapped in con-
temptation Of his ideal life.

WENTWORTH FEMALE COLLEGE
An Auspicious Opening Speeches by
Gov. Lowry. Dol. Hugsnt, Bishop
Galloway and Others.

Whitworth College under its new ad-
ministration, had an suspicious opening
yesterday, the number of pupils in atten-
dance comparing favorably with that OF
any preceding session. There were for
NAL ceremonies held in the study hall
last night in honor TO the occasion, at
which short, appropriate speechs were
delivered by President Fitzhught, Col.
Nugent, President of the Board of Trust
ees, Gov. Lowry, Bishop Galloway, Maj.
Millsaps, Revs. J. r. Parish aud W. b.
Murrah, and we regret that the lateness
of the hour forbids a more extended no
tiee. The following resolution was in
troduced by Col. Nugent and adopted by
a unanimous rising vote of the large au-
dience present:
RESOLVED, That We will give WhitwOrth
College our uDwavering support in the
future as in the past and do all we can to
promote its unparalleled success.
Bishop Galloway, Col. Nugent aud Gov.
Lowry are giving the best earnest OF
their confidence and interest it the sue
Cess of the College by sending their own
daughters to it, and we are glad to be
able to report that new pupils are COM
ing by every train.
