n..o,ndou,s Of Great Men.

It is n noticeable fact that great men
seldom leave direct descendants. Ma
poleon, Wellington, Washington, all
prove the rule. Shakespeare left only
two daughters, whose children died
without issue. Probably the nearest
relative TO the great poet now living Is
one Thomas Hart, resident Of Aus
tralia, who Is said TO be the eighth In
descent from Shakespcare's sister Joan.
Walter Scott's line ended with the sec
ond or third generation. It is also q
notable fact that great men rarely leave
great descendants, as witness Bismarck
and Gladstone. Among other celeb
rifles who left no direct heir was
Beaconsfeld.

They claim extraordinary long lives
for natives of Monterey county, Cal.
Recently the Salinas Index gave IN ac-
count of the life Of old Gabriel, who
was reputed to be one hundred and
Iffty-one years old when he died on the
10th Of March last. "old Gabriels son
zachariah, by his third wife, lived one
hundred and fourteen years. Then
there was Casiano, who died a few years
ago, aged one hundred and thirty-six.
Another Indian named Lauriana died at
the county hospital some four years ago
AZ tho age of one hundred and ten.
These are all well-authenticated cases.
Now comes an old native, known aa
Mrs. olario, who claims that she was
twelve years of age at the time Of the
building of the Carmel mission In iz7s,
which would mako her one hundred and
thirty years old at the present time"

uNeALLANT, BUT COURTEOUS.

A street-Car Scene In One OF the Twin
cities.
Il was on a Fourth avenue car that
IL happened, says the Minneapolis Jour
nal. The recent snow-storm had made
traffic unusually heavy, and the line
was only running single cars. The men
on the car had oil risen but one, and he
sat next the stove unmoved. The other
side Of the car had been filed by ladies,
most Of whom had been given seats by
the prompt sacrifice Of the men who
now filed the aisle. The ladies were
loosely distributed along the seat; one
rat sidewise gazing out of the window;
u second allowed her child room enough
for a good-sized man by clambering
around with his face TO the pane; .
third, dressed in silk, sat as though
afraid of the touch OF a woman next to
her.
A lady entered and looked around for
a seat, and there was none. The men
all looked at the man by the stove. He
was stout, hearty fellow, growing Just
a little old. lie sat still, apparently
unconscious. All the ladies across the
nisle looked at him; the lady In SILK
Rlared. lie didn't move. The lady
moved up opposite him in the car and
took hold of a strap, and still he sat
still
MADAM" said he at last, courteously
enough, but in voice plainly heard all
through the ear; madam, ] do not feel
inslined TO give you my seat when &C
many Of your own sex on the opposite
side of the car can make no move tc
make room for you"
And maybe there wasn't shuttle OF
the other side Of the car. The lady II

dressed woman, the child was hastil,
deposited in It's mothers lap and th'
woman who gazed out the window saw
something TO attract her attention

men occupied the room made.

NApoLEoN's DEVOTED SLAVE.
A Faithful Mameiuke Who Believed in
the Emperor's Star.

the Emperor's Star.
When Bonaparte gave over his splen-
did dream of grand Asiatic empire,
audaciously declared all his own pur-
poses accomplished and the designs OF
his enemy entirely frustrated, and
when, with his army, after its terrible
march, he entered Cairo in all the mag
nificence Of an eastern conqueror, a de-
scendant OF Mahomet presented to him
fine horse with saddle adorned with
precious gems. and q young slave, who
held the bride. This slave was Russian,
the mameluke of the Emperor.
Thereafter Ruotan was, in fact, says
the Louisville Courier-Journal, the de-
voted slave Of Napoleon, and the EN-
peror returned his devotion with q sin
fular confidence that brought them to
the same plane Of imagination and
superstition. Russian was with the En-
peror in the campaign in Russia, and
when Napoleon left the remnant OF the
grand army to its still uncertain fate
and fastened to Paris to save his repu-
utation and his crown Russian was one
of the half-dozen companions he took
with him. The native superstition OF
his race, his own origin and his strange
experience, blended with confidential
intercourse with so extraordinary a
character as Napoleon, made Russian q
strange and mysterious parsonage TO
even his most intelligent contempora-
ries. In the modern play he is made to
appear as a kind Of gypsy fortune
teller.
Russian faithfully believed in faith
and the stars, and as Napoleon affected
the same belief it was doubtless very
agreeable TO the Emperor to have
about him one who sincerely ac'
cepted this belief and who
religiously believed all his masters fan
cifui utterances Napoleon claimed
that nature stepped asi-!e from its
course for tho purpose Of lis creation
He was accustomed TO hear this idea
reflected in the fattery Of those who
surrounded him, but he probably knew
very well that the only man in France
who unqualifedly believed all that hi
claimed was this wild mameluke. The
modern play attributes the devotion o.
Russian to gratitude to Napoleon, ant
that instead of keeping him as
bridle-holder the great soldier brough
him, as he might faithful dog, to b.
his bedroom guardian.

TIL. Original "sucker."

"The word sucker originated at the
Galena mines in Illinois In the fall OF
1899, at time when there was great
exodus. A large returning party, while
boarding q steamer al the Galeua
wharf, was asked 'Wher' ye go4nP'
TO hum was the reply. Well was
the rejoinder Of an old miner, 'ye put

return down ag'in In the fall"

He Has Carried on the Honors Three
Times in Succession.
Chess players throughout the country
will be interested in knowing something of
J. w. Showalter, who has just won his
third national chess tournament. Three
consecutive championships Is a succession
OF victories that few chess players have
ever attained. The at which
Mr.. Showaltsr made his distinction a triple
one closed recently at Lexington, Ky. His
opponent in the last and deciding game
was w. H. K Pollock, the well known
chess player of Baltimore. The time of the
game was three hours and twenty minutes.
1t was one of the most brilliant ever
played, Mr.. Pollock resigning on the forty
fourth move.
j. w. Showalter was born in Mason
county, KY, but for many years has lived
at Georgetown. He is just thirty-one
years of age, and the most remarkable
thing about his skill at chess is that it has
all been acquired in the last five years.
Previous to 1885 he had never played q
game. He learned the game very rapidly.
as may be supposed, and at the end of a
year could beat any player of ordinary
caliber.
Mr.. Showalter is a college man. After
his graduation at the Kentucky Military
institute he went to his father's ranch on
the Nuces river, in southern Texas, and
there spent several years as a cowboy, las

ment- Her professional career is briefly
told. She began writing when about
fifteen, Learning how" on the Rochester
Daily Union and Advertiser, and being
the first woman Of this, her birthplace,
to enter the field of journalism. Later
she became assistant on The Catholic
Union and Times, Buffalo, where she
was n Of the pioneers of her sex in her
profession Later she taught literature
In the normal school of Nazareth con
vent, Rochester. In 1888 Miss Conway
met the late John Boyle O'Reilly in Bos-
ton and was asked to become one of his
assistant-editors on The Pilot.
Aside from regular duties Miss Con-
way has always done a large amount of
special correspondence and anonymous
work, such as literary criticism and COM
piing. She says, II always try to find
time each day for purely literary work"
That takes form chiefly In short stories
and poems, of which one volume has
been published and another promised.
She has also found time for public read
afngs Of her papers, notably 1.-THE
Blessed Among Women" before the
Women's Educational and Industrial
union, Boston, where she was ftbhe arst
Catholic to appear in hat yav and
1.-THE Literature oflAforal LONELINESS" at
the Women's Council in Washington
iMsD Gary, also ideals of Christian
~ 1Snhood."
Her papers on timely professional sub
jects before the New England Women's
Press club, Boston, of whose programme
committee she was for three years chair
man, are always well received. Among
her subjects are obstacles to the Sue
cess of Women In Journalism, " per
sonal Journalism" and "On Magnifying
Mine Office" She is now one Of the
Press clubs executive committee.
Miss Conway is a small woman, with
dark complexion. eyes and hair, and a
very animated way Of talking. She al
ways has something to say that is wort,
listening to, and is a delightful compan-
ion. Mr.. O'Reilly's statement that she
has "the heart Of a woman and the brain
Of a man" shows her personality truly.
While one is amazed at her wise and
witty thoughts one cannot be long with
her before discovering the store of en-
thusiasm and helpfulness from which
she is always ready to draw supplies for
all who need them. Her work has all
been accomplished, she says, under the
inspiration of three little words, "You'v

Here is q suggestion for any one who
has experienced the inconvenience when
travelling of having to put her sponge or
wash cloth and toothbrush into her
trunk or bag before they have time to
dry. Make an oil silk bag in this fashion;
Take a piece Of oil silk ten or twelve
inches square. On opposite edges stitch
a piece of folded silk or ribbon to form a
casing. Lay these edges together and
sew up the sides of the bag. Run a
drawing string in the casing of narrow
tape or ribbon, cord or bobbin. You
can put your damp sponge or toothbrush
into this without any fear that 1t will
injure the neighboring articles in your
trunk. Turn it inside out and air when
you have an opportunity.

gan to take an interest In chess. At
ournament for amateurs in Cincinnati he
found that he played a fairly good game,
but there were a few who could beat him,
and his rising ambition was unable to
brook defeat in any form, so he studied
under a well known professor. Improve
ment was rapid. and Mr.. Showalter en-
tered a correspondence tournament insti
tuted by the Elmira IN. " Telegram, and
won It with ease. Shortly afterward hs
won his first national victory at a meeting
of the United States Chess association, and
since that time he has been considered in
vincible.
He is a dashing player and plays a bold
brilliant game, taking but little time fol
the majority of his moves, and generally
smoking a strong Havana as he plays. His
favorite opening is the Evans gambit, but
many players will not accept this, and he
resorts frequently to the Ruy Lopez. ii,
belongs to what is known as the Morphy
school-a school signalized by the daring
methods of its play.

Mr.. Showalter in the recent tournament
is the champion of Ireland, and his defeat
is a signal triumph for his adversary.

standing and the rights of citizenship, and
taking advantage of this short term re-

BY no means. They settled their bills

are resolved that hereafter those seeking
freedom from matrimonial ties must clearly
show that they are not in the state for the

Buttons.

Here's a word of advice to stout WON
en--don't put any faith in hooks. It's
all very well for your thin sister to have
her bodice hooked up the front, but if
you want to be comfortable have buttons
and buttonholes. II the buttons are
small and fat they a be hidden under
the trimming as well as hooks. AS for
the latter, they are always breaking off
or coming undone, and it's such a nut
sance to fasten them, and when you have
finished ten to n you find you have
got them crooked and have to struggle
with them oyer again.
