DIED FOR HIS WHISPERS.

IN OId-TIme Love story of the Pacific
Coast
This statement may SAVIOR of exag-
geration, but there are men in San
Francisco to-day who remember all the
facts. Warsaw was his name-Capt.
Warsaw, of the Pacific Mail Company.
Maybe you recall the man now. He
was commander of the Japan when she
was burned in the Eastern seas about
twenty years ago Well, Capt Warsaw
had wonderful whiskers, and they were
dearer to him than the apple of his eye
than life itself, one might as well say
when one is about it; for he shuf1ed OFF
his mortal coil sooner than have them
shaved while he was yet in the flower
of his career.
The captain met a girl one day-as
captains willard the captain fell in
love with her. Later on he told her
about his passion, and, like the girl in
the 'Bab Ballads" she reciprocated it
''Will you marry me, then?" said the
captain. Life is blank without you.
I'D like to-" answered the girl, ''but,
whereas l love you, cannot attach
myself permanently to a pair of whis-
kers. Shave them and am yours
but 1 could not think of such a
thing protested the captain.
"Well," said the maiden, with shrug
of her pretty shoulders, you pays your
money and you takes your choice.
Which is it to be? Me or the whislzers?'
''Whiskers," murmured the mariner
with sigh, and, having withdrawn tc
a respectful distance he blew his
brains out.

when whislzers were whiskers. San

his sideboard all the year round, and
with him 1t was always an apricot bart.
But all tarts are pies, though all pies
are not tarts Pastry is a generic term
for all culinary preparations that are
served on layers, or in cases, opened or

REMARKABLE HELEN KELLAR
The Little Girl Whose Case Parallels That

The Little Girl Whose Case Parallels That
of Laura Bridgman.
Helen Kellar, the remarkable child
who, although born blind and deaf and
dumb in Alabama, has accomplished so
much that is beautiful and inspiring,
numbers among her friends many per-
sons of royal station In European courts
who never saw her. One Of these, says
the Boston Post, Is the queen of Greece,
who learned Of Helen through Michael
Anagnos, the director Of the institution
for the blind, when he visited Greece
some time ago. The interest which the
queen took in Helen was so intense that
she exacted from Mr.. Anagnos promise
that he would let her read every letter
that Helen wrote to him while she was
at the Greek capital, and when he was
about TO return to this country she In
duced him to permit her to retain sew
eral Of the letters that she had read,
which are treasured very highly at the
court. The queen expressed on more
than one occasion her surprise that
Helen, who is not yet In her teens,
should have so remarkable command
of the purest English, and limited that
the child might have had some assist
ance in the preparation of her wonder
full letters. But Mr.. Anagnos disposed
of that thought by informing her maj
esty that there was no person connect
ed with the institution who could write
English so faultlessly sweet and pure as
Helen wrote, since the little girl never
had had an opportunity to form &C.
quaintance with any but the loftiest
models of the language. Helen has
learned to artioulate and can speak as
freely and fully as any unaffected per-
SON. When she wishes to hold long
conversation with anybody dear TO her
she places one finger across the lips of
the speaker and another on the throat
at the larynx. In this way she under
stands every word that is uttered as
rapidly as could be understood by per-
son with good eyesight and hearing.
