broad, clean, sloping levee that fronts
busy ST. Louis. She was by far the

remember, all painted white. and are
very broad and low. Each carries two

Confidence between man and woman

differences of temperament preclude per-
feet understanding. A man can never sec

"There is a queer old preacher down
in my country" said native born Mary
lander to party Of friends in the Man
haitian club one evening last week. The
man had just returned from visit to
his old home after long absence and
was amusing the company with anec-
dotes.
HE is about seventy years old, con
tinued the speaker, "and he has had
little or no education and is utterly in
capable Of preaching a sermon. He be-
ieves every word, letter and punctua
ton mark in the Bible is inspired, and
his method Of teaching his flock is to
read from the Scripture and expound
and explain his reading to the best Of his
ability.
"Of course the good old man quite fre.
quently runs up against some passage

Of extricating himself. as | have reason
to know, is unique. was listening tc
his exposition of Solomon and all his
glory the other Sunday and wondered
how he was going to do justice to the
great king in the matter Of his thousand
odd wives. All of a sudden he came up
ON the passage, which he read through
slowly. Then he paused, mopped his
brow and said:
Brethren, we have come across a
difficult passage. Let us, however, not
shirk our duty. We must look the diff

Losses in BIG Hotels.

A well known hotel man said recently:
SIN all my experience | have never been
able to explain to my entire satisfaction
why ii is that so many hotel guests consider
the articles IN their rooms public property
and persist in carrying them away.
"The losses to large hotel such as the
Grand Pacific, of Chicago" he added, "tun
high in the thousands Of dollars annually
from such pilferiDg. No article is too insig-
nificant to escape the attention Of the
thieves, nor is there anything in hotel

snd washstand that may not be carted

Knives and forks, towels and bed cloth
ing are, however, the articles most fire.
quently removed. Still everything has to
be watched, from the soap in the dishes to
the French clock in The bridal chamber
can recall several instances Of thefts of the
last named article, and as for rugs, there is
scarcely hotel proprietor in the country
who would leave one of any value in q
room.
John Hoey was an exception to this
rule, however, but after the first season or
SO that he ran the palatial Hollywood at
Long Branch he was compelled to have
itemized lists drawn up Of the articles CON
tained in every sleeping yoom and suite in
his house. When any guest departed an
account Of the contents of the room vacated
was at once taken and compared with the
list, and this was done only because ex-
perience showed it to be necessary.
Il do not know how the thieves have the
face to use the marked articles" said the
man in conclusion, "but the fact remains
that thousands of articles are taken annu-
ally, and believe that an inspection OF the
effects in the homes of many a traveller
would bring to light most curious assort-
ment of hotel stuff picked up here and
there in journeying over the country. I'M

Our Puritan fathers wore shoes mod
erately peaked. About 1850 square toes
made their appearance, In the reign of
Mary, who died in 1868, there was a
proclamation issued that no person
should wear shoes ever two inches wide
at the toes Square toes began to lose
favor in 1857 In our newspapers from
17l6 to 1885 round toes became more
common, and peaked ones less, accord
ing to descriptions given of shoes on
runaway slaves and servants. From
1881 shoe toes continued in small pro-
portion and became mostly pointed.
This shape lasted nearly hundred
years. Square toes began again in 1925,
and in 1885 were succeeded by round
toes. Boston Herald

Origin of an Indian Name.

One Of the most prosperous clubs with
supposed Indian names, in whose members
can be traced no blood of our aboriginals,
the "Poor Lo's' of the school books, is the
popular Wawayanda club, to whom thou
sands of their friends are indebted for the
jolliest days of their lives. Their hospital
ity, lavishly displayed at their handsome
out of town clubhouse, is proverbial. In
explaining the origin and meaning of the
title a member Of the club will tell you
that, ''once upon a time" noble red man
stood in silent majesty upon the very
ground upon which the clubhouse stands,
gazing with melancholy eyes at the setting
sun. He was the only relic of great tribe
of peaceful aborigines who had been swept
from the face of the earth or despoiled Of
their lands and exiled by the wicked white
man. A paleface approached him with the
inquiry:
"Where Is your tribe, noble chief"
sway, way yonda," replied the red
skinned lover of fire water,
That settled it, and "Wawayanda" be-
came the name of the club for want of
better one, for all the Indian names avail
able had been distributed among other or
ganizations, including Tammany. There
seems to be Il touch Of original sin and
Ananias in the always ready explanation.
but the hospitality of the club soon dispels
the doubt and makes the visitor acknowl-
edge that, with such a welcome and good
cheer, club by any other name would not

The peculiar breed of cats found in the
Isle of Man differs from others only in that
they have no tails, and the lack thereof is
the insoluble puzzle to naturalists. Since
1t has become tie fashion to explain every
thing by the principles Of evolution, two
theories have been otfered-one, that owing
to the limited range and lack Of dense for
ests the original cats had no use for tails,
and consequently they (the tails-not the
cats) gradually atrophied for lack of use
and became rudimentary; enother, that the
primitive Manx cut off all their cats tails
and In the course of time developed a tail
less breed. One thing is certain, the cats
are there, and they have no tails Chicago
