There is a very bright young lady
who has somewhat hurt the feelings of
man about town, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle He has had for some
years the effulgent reputation of lady
killer, an irresistible. He has been the
hero of good many conquests and he
is adored by the less successful of his
kind. He met this young lady and she
seemed to take rather an interest in
him. He did not find her just like the
others and the difference attracted him.
He made up his mind he would marry
her. He did not think it necessary to
consult her feelings delicatelv before he
asked her. He had found the sex rath-
er weak. One day he opened his heart
to her in frank way.
IN very tired, " he said, "of this
bachelor life. I've not been the best of
men, | suppose, but, to tell you the
truth, have been looking all these
years for such woman as you-one
who could make a home for me, whom
/ could love. and who could keep me
away from the restless and unsatisfac-
tory life that surrounds me- If YOU
will marry me"
Thank you-but-I don't think /
care to keep monastery"

A Tailor Rebuked.

Gus Dudley, one of the gilded youth
of Gotham, who owes trades-people a
great deal of money, happened to enter
a restaurant on Broadway, where he
perceived Snip, his tailor, with some
friends at a table, hosting in cham
pagne and oysters.
''Snip, what does this extravaganza
mean?" asked DUDLEY, who is one of the
checklist of dudes.
Mr.. Dudley, | don't see that it is
any of your blank business, replied the
tailor, defiantly.
MAY be not, Snip, may be not; but
it just occurred to me that if you lived
within your means and did not guzzle
champagne and oysters, you would not
be SO hard pressed for money as to
have to dun gentlemen the way you
have done me''-Teros Sittjngs.

IN politics and society, who ruined it
the newsboys began to realize that per-
haps their friend Billy was in trouble,
too. They knew that money cures
many things, and after a moments
consultation half a dozen of them took
up a collection. A spokesman was ap-
pointed. He hurried into the bank,
handed tiny brown paper parcel to
Mr.. Riddle with the simple words,
Here, Billy and was gone. That
brown paper contained the 90 cents.
Riddle wouldn't have taken thousands
for them. Afterward, when he was
tried and acquitted, through ex-Judgs
Curtiss' most eloquent presentation OF
the facts, the Judge wouldn't take any
fee from his old friend except that tiny
brown parcel"

The Dead Letter Route.

You wives who cannot understand why friends
so long delay
In answering the letters which you last year
sent away,
Should remember ere you undertake their
slowness to assail,
That likely twas your husband took your let
tiers to the mail.
If you into the secrets of their pockets dare to
pry,
Some writing in a hand you've seen before will
greet your eye.
And toward the correspondents who you've
censured you'll relent,
For the letters which you wrote last year have
never yet been sent.

Worry Kills, Not Work.

1t is not work that kills, but worry.
1t is not the revolution that DESTROYS

a good appetite don't worry If you
want to stand well with yourself and

One moment Roses little hand was
pressed lightly over her heart, and her

NAVAL ACADEMY STUDIES.

The report of The board Of visitors to the
Naval Aoadsmy has been received By Secretary
Tracy. The board recommends that the aca-

required BY law that the designation Of per
sons for appointment and their alteruates be

and that the maximum limit Of age for en-
trance be nineteen, instead Of twenty yeara
The report also suggests that II would be de-
strable for the government 10 find occupation

that Congress put these young men into the

A TALK WITH RED CLOUD.


A Pine Ridge agency special to the Philadel-
phis Press says: In an interview to-day Red
Cloud, the old chief, said:
81 have made four treaties with the Great
Father-in 1851, In 1855, when we gave up our
grounds; in 1868, when we received our annui-
ties, and In 1876, when gave up the Black
Hills. At every treaty We signed giving up our
land we had many promises made us about the
great many things We were TO receive and the
big amount Of money we would get II these
promises had been filed. We were made to
believe that we would now be wealthy like the
Indians of the Indian Territory, who have
plenty of money to spend, but, as it Is, we have
and We will soon have nothing at all left for
our support"
"what ID your opinion Of the present bill?"

ever offered Us, but Il is not good enough; 1t
does not give enough for our land. The land
u worth more and will bring very much more
money in few years, 30 ] want to wait. When
] shall sell We will be richer than We are at
the present Ny best friends advise me not to
sell now"
''what Is the second reason Why this bill is
disagreeable?"
"When the commission came here at our first
council I asked that all the half-breeds and
white men and Mexicans who were not in the
treaty OF 1908, pus VINO nAo married into our
people, should be allowed to sign the bill,
although, without our full consent, they had
no right here. This was granted by the COM
mission Instead Of these men waiting the
action and listening to the head chiefs they at
once undertook to run everything and dictate
10 me, telling the other chiefs what We should
do, when they really had no right TO say any
thing. The commission permitted this and it
made n angry"
The great reason why the chiefs opposed the
Bill 10 that they fully realize that when the In
aians take lands in seyeralty each man viii
hons must cease. At the meeting Of the fare
veil council an immense body Of Indians was
present and gave deep attention to the remarks

WAS HE ALSO MURDERED?
Facts Concerning the Mysterious Dis
appearance Of DIR. John McInernery.

The New York Herald to-day devotes two
columns to an article concerning the myste-
rious disappearance and continued absence
from New York Of DR.. John McInernery, q
prominent Clan-na-Gael man who has not been
seen nor heard from since April 10 last. DIR.
McInernery was one of the four persons said TO
have been doomed to death by the inner circle
Of the Clan-na-Gael-the other three being Dr..
Cronin, DR.. McCshey, Of Philadelphia, and
John Dewey.
According to the Herald DR.. McInernery left
New York aboutAprl 10, the superstition being
that he started for Omahs., from which city he
had received telegram containing an offer Of
position there. Since t.lat time nothing has
been heard from him, and inquiry at Omaha
fails TO reveal any trace of him; nor has his
friends been able to find any ono there who
knew Of any position having been offered the
doctor. The Herald thinks the telegram may
have been decoy for the purpose Of getting
the doctor to Omaha or to Chicago, where
possibly arrangements had been made to put
him AWAY" by the same means a. we're used in
getting rid Of DR.. Cronin. II DIR. McInernery
went to Chicago he probably arrived there on
April 20 or 81. At that time the Carlson cot
tage was In the hands Of the men, who, two
weeks later, murdered DIR Cronin. The Her.

matter to have some of McInernerys pretended
friends lure him TO the lonely cottage, where

and disposed Of his body without detection.
