The Kansas City Times has the temer-
ity to assert that there are at least two
Missouri towns which are appreciatively
reading Bob Burdette's

THE booders came down
Like wolf on the fold
And they scooped in the silver
And greenbacks nd gold"
Of course it was not necessary for the
Times to name both of the towns,-every-
body knows one of them on general prin-
ciples; but it was unfair to all the other
towns in that state save one for it to
thus smirch them all by indirection.

ONE OF GODS LITTLE HEROES.


The patter Of feet was on the stair,
As the Editor turned in his sanctum chair.
And said-for weary the day had been
Don't let another intruder in"
But scarce had he uttered the words, before
lace pecred In at the half closed door,
And n child sobbed out" Sir, Mother said

And pray who is Dan THE streaming

The reason his stock went off so well:

Could any one bear to say him Nor
And the money he made, whatever 1t be,

No matter about his rags he said,
IL only he kept us clothed and fed.
And he did IT, sir-trudging through rain

Nor stopped until the last Of his sheets was

But he's dead-he's dead, and we miss him so.
And Mothers thought you might like TO

An Actress who Il Physically Perfect.
When Professor Sergeant, of Har-
ward, declared that Miss Best of Mead
vile, was the most perfectly proper
toned woman in America, 50 far as
could be determined by the data at his
disposal, lie refused to make known
the measurements. Comparison was,
therefore, unnecessary. Another model
of physical womanly perfection has
since come to the front in the person of
Miss Mildred Holland, who is now play
ing in the spectacle "Superba" in New
York Artists in New York and Phila-
delphia pronounce her a perfect Ameri-
can Venus. and as she gives out table
of measurements, direct basis Of COM
parison is furnished
To begin with. she Is about feet 8
inches, and other measurements are as
follows:
Throat, 12} inchea
Upper arm, tense. III inches
Forearm, tense, OF inches.
Waist, "a inches over clothing.
Hips, 86 inches over clothing.
Ankle, 8 inches. -
Calf of leg, 14t inches
Size of glove, 6f.
Size of shoe, g.
Miss Holland is the best woman
fencer in America, and her splendid
muscles are result of that exercise

have had it suggested to me by n
friend that the happiest moment in a
woman's life is when, having brought
proposing, she makes him wait min
ute or two for her answer, says "The
Duchess in the Ladies Home Journal.
To know and feel his anxiety to under
stand that the anxiety is all caused
through love of her-this would con-
stitute bliss not to be rivaled, bliss
the sweeter for being so shortlived, and
because of the fact that it can never oc.
cur again. But this strikes mo As be-
ing little feline in its nature, just a
trifle cruel.
For myself, should think there
would be keener joy in that moment
when a woman is 'oe to say "Yes" to
the most important question of her life,
and to give herself freely and gladly to
the one she loves
think, however, the question diff
cult one to answer. There are 30 many
different natures that what would he
extreme happiness to one woman might
be only mild delis Int to another.
The ambitious woman must find her
best hour when she has attained the
summit of her hopes and victory crowns
her with its laurel wreath.
To the woman standing over the sick
bed that contains the one being dearest
to her on earth, can there be an hour
more rife with thankful happiness than
when the doctor declares that there is
hope? Oh, magic wordl Hope that the
adored one will be given back to her
from the very jaws OF death!
And yet, after all, think love, shat

A Modern Queen.

Four little girls who live in a suburb
of Boston were playing together one
afternoon. and at last one of them sug.
gested, Lets play we're queens, and
have court.
I'll be Queen Elizabeth, said one,
land have u big ruff round my neck. "
"I'll be Marie Antoinette, before it
was time for her to be killed, said an
other.
"And I'll be Mary Queen of Scots, be.
cause she was so pretty, said the third.
"Who will you be, Elsie?" asked
Queen Elizabeth of her five year old
sister. II shall have to tell her the
name of some queen, of course" she
remarked confidentially to Mary Queen
of Scots.
"Nobody'll have to tell me, said Elsie
with dignity, IL shall be Queen Anne

Advice to the Brides Elect,

The Ladies' Home Journal thus ad-
vises the rosebuds of marriage:
"Let me venture few points to those
girls who, since the summer, have worn
a bright ring on their third finger:
"Don't let the man to whom you are
engaged to be married pay any of the
expenses of your living or trousseau
until you are his wife. A calico dress
and contentment are much more to be
desired than silk one garnitured with
scandal
Don't complain to the man to whom
you are engaged of the different men,
bers of your own family; it is not good
preface to matrimonial bliss.
Don't write silly letters to him. even
il he is fond of affection given in that
way. Let it be by word of mouth
rather than with pen and ink.

The Cost OF Street Railways.

In view of the threatened infic-
ton of more cable lines in Chicago
some tables of cost recently published
by the Electrical World are interesting.
From these it appears that the cost of
equipment for a tive-mile horse railway
is 50, 400 per mile; for an electric road
of the same length, $3S,20O; for cable
road, $72, 800; and for a gas-engine car
equipment, $500. The cost of run
ming the horse railway is $9,154 per
mile per year; electric road, 4,469. 10;
cable road. $9,440.50; gas-engine road,
2,201.60. As regards cable traction, it
is calculated that. at the best, at least
70 per cent. of the entire amount of
power used is needed to simply run the
cable without any load; and if only
about 10 per cent of the entire energy
of the coal is used in making steam one
can readily see how extravagant such
u system must be.

They Made Him Tired.

It's getting hard for plain man of
ordinary, everyday, practical tastes to
get on in the world now. When he
comes to the city and expects to see the
sights he is taken to picture galleries
and theatres with strong French plays in
progress and to bric-a-brac exhibitions.
A simple honest countryman was
taken to picture gallery and violent
and persistent effort made to entertain
him with Il subject he did not care
about. They showed him around the
gallery, they expatiated on the great
pictures, the superb art, and all that
sort of thing. He said nothing until
he reached a window which looked out
on the street. Then as horse-car
went rattling by, he turned YEARLY to
his artistic friend and said: ''What
kind of aXle-grease do they use in this
townf'-S0,a Francisco Chronicle.

What Primitive Man Ate.

Primitive man, wherever he was first
cast, whether in one center or more
than one, must of necessity have found
his food in the plant world. We can
not imagine him commencing his
career learned in the arts of hunting,
killing, and cooking the lower animals
for food. Many infer from this circum-
stance that the argument in favor of
the vegetarian practice is copied direct
from nature, signed and delivered by
her. Not quite so fast. There is one
interposing barrier to the free accept
ance of vegetarian deed and act of con-
veyance of food from nature to man.
Nature herself, of her own right royal
will, makes for animals, herbivOrOuS
and carnivorous, one distinctive ami
NAL food: section from the living ami
NAL organization, fluid which is a
standard food-meat and drink in one
the fluid known under the name of
milk. Against absolute vegtarianism,
then. we may fairly set up one eXcep-
ton derived from nature as the unerr-
ing guide. On observing the habits of
animals we. discover another natural
fact. We find that animals of quite
different natures, in respect to primitive
selection of food, possess the power of
changing their modes of feeding and
of passing over, as it were, from one
class to another. This change is dis
tinct but limited, and we must accept
it with all its extension on the one side
and all its limitation on the other. The
fruit-eating ape can be taught under
privation to subsist on animal diet; a
dog can believe be taught to subsist
on vegetable diet. But it would be
as impossible to teach a sheep to eat
flesh us it would be to make lion feed
on grass.-LOngnaa71' Magazine.
