partrnent and doing general editorial
work. During this time she was also q
special writer for the ST. Paul Globe,
Chicago Tribune and number Of large
southern dailies.
In 1888 Miss Jordan went to Chicago
and did special writing for The Tribune
of that city. She went to New York
early in 1890, at the invitation of Colonel
Cockerill, then editor in chief of the
New York World. She has been CEN
nected with The World ever since.
During the first year she did all around
reporting. Her special out of town as
signments included a trip through the
which she made on horseback, accom-
panied only by negro guide, sleeping
IN the cabins of the mountaineers by
night, and identifying herself with then
home life as closely as possible.
The work on which she made her
reputation was the publication of The
Worlds True Stories of the News"
one of which appeared in The World
every morning. They were chronicles
of the happenings in a great city, and
ranged from the humorous To the deeply
tragic. The preparation of these arti-
cles took Miss Jordan into the hospitals,
police stations and police courts, the
morgue and the great east side tene-
ments of New York. She soon became
known to the majority of the city Of
icials, who We're very helpful to her in
gathering her material One night she
went TO the charitable hospital on Black
wells island TO write up the death Of a
consumptive. She sat by the side of the
dying woman from o'clock in the
evening until twenty minutes past 3
the next morning, when the patient ex-
pired. Another time she went to the
morgue at midnight to find the body Of
a baby whose parents could not afford
to give it burial. and which had died in
their arms ON the street as they were
taking it TO the hospital. Her story Of
this baby brought in enough money u
bury the child in Greenwood and to
make the parents comfortable for some
time TO come. MEL R. CoLQUITT.

THE HABIT OF SNORING.
A Few Lessons Might ke iSsrnrd from
the Indians with Froht.


The press is making merry over Mrs.
Barbara Turner, of Columbus. Omo,
who refuses to live with her husband
because he snores. In his turn MIR.
Turner sues for divorce What a
spectacle is this. my countrym"n. Who
hlames Mrs. Turner for obiectinG to
snoring? No one; but where is Mrs.
Turner's wit that she can find no way
| out Of her misery but absolute Separa-
tion and consequent scandal and ril-
icuIe? Evidently she knows nothing of
the philosophy of snoring, or she might
have reduced her husband to silrure
long ago.
1t is pity we don't learn few les
sons from the original inhabitants of
| This Continent and profit by them.
Who ever heard an Indian snorc? If
In Iiaus never snore, why should the
pale face? I'll tell you why Indians
nave. from the beginning, lived and
slept in the open air Snoring simply
means sleeping with the mouth open -
a most unhealthy as well as hideous
custom, the proper sieve for air being
| the nose. For Indians to breathe
| through the month would be to offer a
receptacle for many an unwhoIesome
| guest as we'll as to warn the enemy of
evils Indians are taught to keep their
m,iths shut FROM earliest infancy.
| Many time I've watched Indian moth
erS close their babies mouth after put
| ting them to sleep. Habit finally be-
comes second natlr r.; hence the Indian
is the most silent Of animals.
How many white mothers know
whether their children breathe we'll or
| i'll? How many take the pains to teach
their offspring the Office of the nose as
compared with that of the mouth? How
many are intelligent enough to realize
| that the difference between letting a
child sleep open mouthed and close
monthrd is the difference between u
nuisance and deceut peace? If MIR.
1 Turner's mother had been a squaw his
wife would have had no ground of com
pIaint against him, and there would
have been one divorce less to record.
Is it too late to offer suggestion to
this unhappy pair? 1t is difficult to
teach old dogs new tricks, though it is
Easy to puzzle any kind OF a dog, old or
young. Why can't Mr. Turner be muz-
H'eI when he retires at night? The APP
paratus could be readily devised, and
IN all probability might be dispensed
W:th in time BY all means let Mr..
Turner be muZzled.

CALLING UP CHINESE GHOSTS.



As things go by contrarics in China,
we find the phenomenon of tableturn-
ing reversed in other words, Chinese
tables instead of turning on their legs,
whirl around on their heads, with their
legs pointing to the ceiling. The di-
rections usually given, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger, are to place couple OF
chopsticks at right angles across mol
tar or bowl filled with water, and upon
these the table is turned upside down.
Four children are then called i'll, and to
each is assigned IA leg, on which one
hand is gently laid, while the other
seizes the free hand of a companion.
The medium then reads an iucamta.
ton, and soon the table begins to heayo
with emotion and at last revolves, car
rying the lads along with increasing ve-
locitv, until the table is hurled off its
axis. The Chinese are said to implic-
itly believe that table turning is the
work of devils or spirits, yet it is never
performed save for the sport it yields,
nor do they even attempt to hold COM
munication with the spirit world by this
means.

Real life sometimes furnishes instan-
ces of good fortune which are as re-
markabe as the story of Monte Cristo.
Some years ago, said Western man,
I,had in my employ an Irishmau, a
clever, but totally uneducatcd fellow,
who did odd jobs about my place in
Helena You remember what fever
ish state that country was in about that
time over the rich finds in gold i'll the
country adjacent. Ny Irishman caught
the fever, and astonished me one dav
by asking me to loan him two hundred
dollars with which he wanted to buy IL
pro9pector's outfit. Well, / let him
have it, and away he went. In about
month he came back with mule load
OF the richest of ore He bought three
more mules, hired three men, went
back to the hills and struck town
shortly afterward with four more mules
loaded rs the first one had been \
representative of an English syndicate
happened to be in Helena about this
time on the lookout for mining invest
mcnts. He saw the IriSinlaus $ little
pack train, took ii sample Of the ore,
hud it assaycd went out and examined
the claim and then offered the Irishman
one million dollars for his claim and
twenty-five per cent. of the net profits
Mike asked my advice in the matter,
aud Of course | told him to sell, which
he did. 1t proved a good Investment
for all concerned, as the Englishmcn
have taken millions of dollars out OF
the mine. But now comes my point.
Instead OF committing the usual follics
that poor men indulge in when they be-
come suddenly rich, Mike set about to
get the highest benefits of his wealth.
lnere lived in Helena an English lady,
widow Of an English officer, who was
possessed of IL high degree of culture
and refinement, though in very needy
circumstances. Welt, sir, the first
thing Mike did was to go to this lady
and bargain for an education. lie

ulctatlon lived III tAc same house, ana
she told him how to hold knife and
to.h, how to enter and i"ale IL room.
Then followed the ru,llnrutS of liter

Such titles as the Duke OF Marina
iade, the Count of Lemonade and the
Earl of Brandy might well be supposed
to owe their origin to comic opera.
They are, or were, however, real titles,
bestowed by a genuine monarch on
three of the favoriteS, and that, too,
during the present century. In 1871 a
revolution occurred i'll Hayti, and Chris
tophe, negro, declared himself EN-
peror. Through conspiracy and plot,
his life often attempted, he retained
power till 1920, preserving to the last
the appearance of royal court, and
creating a numerous nohInty. Among
them were the three already mentioned,
and the oddity Of the tn'"s has sug-
gested to many writers the righteousness
of the African character In fact, how
ever, all three names were those of
places, the first two being originally
plantations, but latterly towns OF some
Importance This fact not being gen
erally known, IA mlsupprehenslOn has
arisen with regard to the titles them
selves, which, however absurd, are
scarcely more so than some which were
bestowed in France and Germany dur
ing the Middle Ages.
