CHICAGO. Jan. %. - Few men are
given the thirty-third degree of Mason

PLAY BY WOMEN.
Instantaneous Hit by Recent
Production.

11IC Uy a ICGCCNC
Production.
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 2S.-A large and
fashionable audience filled Coates opera
house this evening to witness the first
production of The Syndicate" the
new comedy written by Mary
Palmer Reese and Mary II. Ford. The
play made an instantaneous hit. 1t
deals with the wildcat land specula-
tons of the West; touches up the polit-
zeal situation in Kansas and is brim full
of humor. Among the characters new
to the stage is that of the typical
political reformer, the stylish female
socialist, the Alliance farmer, with the
perpetual mortgage on his farm: the
grab-all land speculator and the man
with the grasshopper exterminator.

just a shade of Dieerapce

When man shrugs his shoulders
"a very feminine Accomplishment
at the mention of another mans
name, what conclusions are drawn
by the generality of people? Is the
maligned man thought less of?
Rather people begin to delve and
wonder what the cause, what the
motive for this detraction.
They wonder if it is malice; if the
slandered one has been more success
full in business or perhaps, having
good judgment, has found the real
character of the pretender, and con-
sequently spurned him; perhaps the
injured man has been a rival for
some fair girls affection and won.
These are some of the thoughts
which come to us when, contrary to
all manly principles, one man Sian
ders or even detracts another mans
reputation. l suppose you know the
difference between detraction and

william .Corbett,s Grammar.

1t has been said of Corbett that he
wrote an English grammar which
was las entertaining as a novel. -"
And this is nothing more than the
literal truth. In fact, many novels
are harder to read than Corbett's
grammar. The full title of the book
is: A grammar of the English Ian
guage in series of letters; intended
for the use of schools and of young
persons in general, but more especial
ly for the use of soldiers, sailors, ap-
prentices and plowboys. By Will
liam COrbett. To which are added
six lessons, intended to prevent states
men from using false grammar, and
from writing in an awkward man
ner."
From its sarcastic title page to the
end of the 230 pages of which it is
composed, every sentence in the book
tingles and vibrates with the strong
personality of the writer. But the
purpose with which the book was
written is never lost sight of. 1t is
an orderly, simple and humorous
treatise, displaying strong common
sense and sound Judgment. Temple

A College ScapegOat.

In after life the late DR.. S. G..
Howe often expressed his regret
that he had wasted his time while in
college, and explained how it hap.
pened that he became the ringleade1
in fun and frolic His explanation
suggests that all who are educators
of youth should heed the inspired
words: Charity suffereth long, and
is kind; isnot easily provoked; think
eth no evil; believeth all things,
hopeth all things
He discovered before he had beer
many months in college that he was
suspected of all the mischief there
when in fact but a small part of il
was his. His truthful denials were
disregarded, and he was made the
college scapegoat.
The faculty's suspicion tempted
him to keep up his reputation, and he
determined that as he had the name
he would have the game. A little
timely advice and kindly treatment,
and more than all a little confidence
in his word, would have corrected
his foibles and made student of the
practical jOker.-Youth's Compan-

The Grave of PENIS Surveyor.

In little clump of woods just off
the line and to the eastward of the
BustletOn branch of the Pennsylvania
railroad, one mile from the village of
Holmesburg, lies the body of Thomas
HOlme, the man who, as surveyor
general for William Penn, laid out the
city of Philadelphia. The little GENE
terry in which the body of Holme lies
is so isolated and so unfrequented
that stranger could not well find il
without the aid of a guide. In it,
besides the body of the great sur
veyor, there are hundred or more
graves of those of his descendants.
In the center of this acre and halt
devoted by the Holme family to the
burial of their dead stands a little
white marble monument, erected by
private subscription in 1868 The in
scription on this monument reads
I'm memory of Thomas Holme, died
1895, aged seventy-one years Sur
veyOr general of William Penn. He
drafted the plan and laid out the
city of Philadelphia. Philadelphia

Lightning Doesn't Strike Indians.

In the course of his New Haven
lecture Rev Thomas S. Dana, an
educated Indian, made this singular
statement: The Indians never cook
anythingin the house. They always
cook outside, giving as their only rea-
son that if they cook inside the steam
will collect in their clothing and
draw the lightning. Whether this is
truth or not l do not know, but do
know this: No Indian wigwam has
been struck by lightning since the
dawn of history, and no Indian has
been killed by lightning for more
than 100 years"

the punishments he administered are
all noted down. He gave GIL, 517

The Value of Walking,

A sharp walk every morning at
daybreak is excellent. Indeed walk
ing is the very best form of exercise.
1t puts all the muscles of the body in
play. 1t is far better in this respect
than horseback riding or driving.
Carriage riding is not form of ex.
ercise at all. It is merely easy air.
ing. 1t is good for the health and
spirits, but it is no aid to muscular
development. Running, jumping,
swimming, climbing are all excel
lent forms of athletic exercise. New

4 Watch in Which the SUN Sets.

Charles s. Nelson, Fainter, liv-
ing in Chicago, is the owner of one
of the most unique timepieces that
has ever found its way to America.
1t Is small sized watch of peculiar
shape and curious construction. How
old 1t is no one knows, but it is be-
leved to be one of the first produc-
tons of the matchmaking fraternity.
1t is smaller in circumference than
the average watch of the present
day, but it is also about three times
the thickness of a Waltham or an
Elgln OF equal size. The case isof
pure silver, and it is constructed on
the open faced plan It has two
dials, one within the other. The
outer one tells the minutes. hours.
the days of the week, the month and
the day of the month. On the inner
dial are pictures representing the
sun, the moon, the earth and the
planets, each dial being furnished
with a separate set of hands and
pointers.
AS night advances apace the sun
begins to darken, while the moon and
the stars begin to shine and twinkle
with peculiar white light. How or
by what means the sun is made to
darken at the right time and the
moon and the stars to shine is un-
known, electricity having not been
discovered at the time the watch was
made, now nearly 400 years ago

firms, was larger than the palm OF
mans hand" Farther on in his
account OF this carved gem he says
that its sides We're engraved with
figures OF three palm trees man,
two goats and dog, the opposite
side having the figures of two tigers
engaged in combat" This gem of
gems must have weighed at least SOC

The German Empire.

The case of the Grand Duke of
Hesse and his brother potentates
forms one of the most interesting
phases in the German situation of
today, and one must know some
thing about it in order to understand
the current of German affairs. Ger
many, as well as the United States,
has dual system of government,
though hers is in other respects very
unlike ours. There the big state of
Prussia has three-ffths the area of the
whole, and in round numbers about
thirty millions out of fifty million
population.
Her king is at the same time Ger
man emperor. Consequently Prus-
STA is the cock of the walk in Ger
many, and behind her come tagging
along with more or less degree of
dignity some twenty-five states, OF
which three are kingdoms, ranging
in Importance from Bavaria, which
has the population of Belgium or
Holland and the area of both, whose
capital, Munich, is one of the finest
cities in Europe, down to the princi-
pality of Schaumburg-Lippe, which
an active Kentuckian could come
very near jumping across.-Louis
