CANNES who have such dread of the
surf. The democratic ours of the
town and the sensible old house dogs
who have lived here long enough TO
feel thoroughly at home, and who feel
equal to the task of looking out for
themselves under any circumstances,
are of an entirely different frame of
mind, so far as that is concerned.
Plenty of them go in for their daily
swim as regularly and as unconcernedly
as the most enthusiastic and veteran

the blacklist forest of Africa of whose
horrors Stanley has so graphically told.
But before Miss Kimball, none had en-
tered the correspondents gallery of
the national capital. Naturally there
was great deal of curiosity to see the
avant courier of her sex, and speculation
was rife. Was she like the typical
champion of woman's rights? 1t was
feared so, and as they thought of such
possibility the thinkers groaned.
And the more they thought the more
convinced they became that it could be
no other. But when on one afternoon
of last winter there came into the sa-
cred precincts of the gallery young
woman scarce past the borderland of
girlhood, tall, graceful to degree,
with clear, frank face and a refine
ment of manner that stamped her well
bred, and whose engraved card bore the
inscription: Ruth Kimball, St. Paul
Globe" there was sudden destruc-
ton % preconceived ideas and general
ratification sprang up in their stead.
Speculation then turned to the quail
ity of her work, and the investigation
was equally surprising. There was
some trouble over her formal admission
to the gallery, owing to the want of
precedent, but that was passed and
thereafter all was well. There were
many special articles written about
her of very complimentary character.
They would have turned the head OF
many, but it didn't disturb the equili-
brium of her head hairs breadth.
She was successful but that did not
surprise her. She had felt she would
be, and her former successes on the
local staff of the paper and prior work
on other newspapers had given her rea'
| son for confidence. She rapidly ac
quired a valuable acquaintance an6

she has preserved intact the intrinsic
charm of true womanhood, and therein

THE HoWLINo DERVIsHEs.
Revolving Exhibition Given at the Madi-
son Square Amphiteater.


The bowling dervishes recently inn
ported from Arabia gave an exhibition
the other day in the Madison Square
amphitheater, New York city, and per-
formed their queer rites before an
audience invited for the purpose. Clad
in loose flowing costume, some with
queer cone-shaped hats, they entered a
circle made of fur mats and FRUSTRATED
themselves. There were twenty-nine
of them, including their chief, Ali
Hassan, and their ages ranged from 20
TO - years. There were eight dancers
and twenty howlers. After the pros
trations the howlers began TO sing a
droning chorus, the movement of which
increased gradually. AT its conclusion
two flutes of shrill pitch We're pro-
duced, and two of the men played
weird air upon them. Then came the
horrible part of the ceremony. The
high priest, Ali Hassan, produced bag
or gunnysack. from which he pulled a
snake. The reptile was fully five feet
in length, and looked like a
bull snake. The high priest, aided by
one # his assistants, produced sharp
; lie and severed the snakes head.
1nis he dropped into the bag, and, ris-
ing TO his feet, began grotesque dance
about the center of the circle, twining
the body of the snake about his neck,
and again untwisting it, finally hold
/ ing the slimy-loolsing object at arms
/ length. Faster and faster the flutes
We're played, in a shrill, discordant
tone, while the deryishes increased
the motions of their rapidly swaying
bodies as they still chanted their song.
/ Then, as il insane, the high priest
/ put the snakes headless body in
/ his mouth and bit off piece, chewing
and swallowing it. Around and around
he went, seeming every moment as
though he was going to have fit. The
snake was handed over to another der
wish, who went through the same per-
Torrance. Then another joined the
two. and the three, with the carcass
entwined around their neclSs, swayed
and danced about the circle. At the
conclusion of this ceremony the dane
ing dervishes performed, The dance
consisted of whirling about in one di-
rection until il seemed as though the
human system could not stand it.

ance, the most unexpected episode
almost ceases to be an object of comment
after the lapse of couple of days.
The arrival therefore of Miss Ruth
Kimball in their midst as the duly ac-
credited Washington correspondent
of st. Paul paper must
have been a strange experience.
From the time the news that she was
coming was first heard and for some
time after her arrival, the incident was
the theme of frequent discussion. 1t
was not due to the fact that it was
Miss Kimbal who came, but TO the
altogether unprecedented act of big
daily newspaper sending to the ma
tional capital woman for its regular
Geographic correspondent.
Women have followed man into
nearly all pursuits. They have gone
upon the battlefield and penetrated
