Mary f. wilkins, Home Life.

Miss Mary E. Wilkins is the fortu-
nate possessor of the treasury with
which the romantic novelist adorns his
heroines-a wealth of beautiful golden
hair, and it is of the real yellow golden
hue which one seldom sees growing
naturally on woman's head. The dis
tinguished novelist is very tiny in fig
ure, and very shy and modest in man
ner She cares little for the applause
of the world; indeed, she seems hardly
to know what to do with the fame that
she has won. At a little distance one
would take her for a shy and sensitive
child who begs that she may not be
pointed out to public notice, rather than
for the successful authoress whose
work is ranked by critics among the
best of the century Miss Wilkins was
a student at Mount Holyoke college,
and her home is in SMALL town in east

American Women Have Good Taste, but


No Originality.
have had an interesting conversa-
ton with my hairdresser about the
characteristics of the ladies Of the
many nationalities on whom he oper-
ates, says a writer in London Truth.
The American, though so fully emanci-
pated has, he thinks, no originality.
She assimilates everything and orig
mates nothing. In Paris-and, for that
matter, in New York-her get-up is ex-
actly modelled on that Of the Parisienne.
When guided by model she has taste.
But she is dependent upon a model. Her
quickness and Sharpness in selecting
merchandise are to be noted The Eng
lishwoman is fond of simplicity-too
fond, perhaps. She timidly follows the
Parisienne in her coiffures and pass
well and cheerfully. She is always
afraid Of what is suggested mot suit
ing her. and has no idea what does
suit her. She is not hard to please, yet
at bottom she is never thoroughly sat
isfied because uncertain whether her
head is dressed exactly as it should be.
The Russian lady is the most taste
less woman alive. She is helpless in the
hands of her hairdresser and has no
suggestions to offer. It may be that her
national headdress has prevented her
taste running on the couture. The Rus
sian lady has soft, quiet manners, but
scans bills with suspicious eye. The
Italian lady is a bad payer, hard to
please, stingy, and never more than
half satisfied with Partisan coiffure.
She will write from Italy for dozen
imitation tortoise-shell hairpins costing
8 sous apiece. She had them at that
price in Paris and does not calculate the
loss of time, and money too, that is in

fure is not thought too much to ask for

will protest against it as though she had
fallen into the hands of thieves who
wanted to rob her. The Roumanian Ia
dies are the sweetest and most tasteful
in Europe. Their manners are, perhaps,
better than those of the best Parish
ennes. They have in youth splendid

The Scheme of Chicago Man to Beat

A caller dropped into the Brightside
fiat and found Mr.. and Mrs. Brightside,
and their wise little terrier, ming, F"
all assembled in the kitchen. Mr..
Brightside was busy boring holes with
an auger in the end Of a good-siZed
packing box, while Mrs. Brightside and
the dog, seated side by side on the floor,
regarded him with intense, though pos
sibly hypocritical, admiration. Near by
stood another packing box with four
holes in each end, through which loops
of strong rope had been so fastened as
to make good serviceable handles.
'"This is about the greatest crisis of
my life" observed Mr.. Brightside.
"How do you suppose got that rope in
without opening the box? Just figure
on it now
AS the caller belongs to the sex which
has never produced a great epic poem,
discovered a continent, or voted for the
Governor of Illinois, she gave up the
problem with a cheerful meekness born
of centuries of acknowledged incapac-
ity. Mr.. Brightside having finished
boring, produced bent wire and
piece O1 SIIllS, O11G C11CA VI WA4AOAA WC~0
fastened to a few feet of rope. With
the wire he proceeded to insert the
string into one hole and wiggle it out at
another. By means of the string the
rope was then towed into position, the
whole process ending triumphantly in
another pair Of handles.
"But what are you doing it for?"
"He's making trunks explained Mrs.
Brightside. It's his latest speciality. !"
sThe only trouble with me- said
Mr. Brightside, with apparent irrele-
vance, sis that I'm lazy"
"But what on the top of the prairie
are you making trunks out Of packing
boxes for? Cui bono, you know"
"To save freight. I'm sending them to
a friend in Wisconsin, you Gee. I've got
some other friends starting out there to-
night, and If these things have handles
on they can take them as baggage.
otherwise the railway company won't
let them Can your female mind as
simulate that fact? Taking it by and
large" he added modestly, 'it's a
beautiful piece of work.
The caller joined the intent audience
on the floor, and contemplated Mr..
Brightside with wonder, love and
praise. 1t was pleasing to find any one
clever enough to get ahead Of rail-

NUMBERING OF HOUSES.
Berlin Began 1t just One Hundred
Years Ago.

Years Ago.
At present there is some talk in Ber-
lin of celebrating a somewhat singular
centenary-that of the origin Of the
numbering of houses. According to a
German contemporary this convenient
method of indication was quite un-
known, even in London or Paris, until
a century ago. In 1875 the practice Of
numbering private houses was begun
in Berlin The method employed, how
ever, was then exceedingly imperfect.
The Brandenburg Gate was taken as
the point of departure, and the num-
bers went on successfully throughout
the whole town, without any distinction
as regards streets. Even to-day the sys-
tenn of numbering generally employed
in the German capital leaves much to
be desired, as the numbers run con-
secutively up one side of the street and
back again on the other. Vienna
claims the honor Of having inaugurated
in 1903 the method of placing the odd
numbers on one side of the street and
the even ones on the other.

forelock, the only way poor mortals
have of ever getting even with him of
the Scythe and hour-glass.
But it is this very thing that is cads-
ing him such a lot of mental anguish
now, making his nights sleepless and
threatening to undermine his domestic
peace.
Mabel Thorpe laid no claims to social
distinction when Leander met her first
at some entertainment, where she rem
dered selections of classic music in such
mastery manner that he, being a
lover Of music, was instantly attracted
to her side and stayed there during the
evening. For the rest she wore glasses,
being near-sighted, and, having grad
uated from an eastern college, was
rather stiff and pedantic in her manner
"a grateful change from the ordinary
frisky young creatures with whom Lee
ander ha6 been associated.
It takes all kinds Of people to make g.
world-more's the pity-and love goes
where it is sent. Mabel had expected
to become one of that noble army of
martyrs, teachers, but when Leander
proposed she reconsidered the matter
and thought she heard the voice of
duty bidding her answer Eyes," and
without more ado she accepted him.
Now, Mabel Thorpe did not expect
her hero to swim the HeileSpont of life
with all his armor on, but she did de-
mand from fim-as she had a right to
do-a high moral standard, for she had
not married him until she had seen, as
she had believed. his whole past life
laid open before her as book. There
is no time when a man is as weakly
sentimental and as religious as when he
is trying to live up to the standard OF
a pure young girls ideal, and Leander
became almost an angel.
There are very few of us capable OF
making human angels of ourselves
Good and evil are as persistently pres
ent in our moral nature as light and
darkness are in our atmosphere, and
one serves as the complement OF the
other. To Danish night we use the light
of science to counteract wrong we in
woke divine help, but so largely is our
worldly nature in excess of our spirit
ual powers that we are constantly in
danger of erring to be forgiVen-ln
other words, SHINING and repenting.
Mabel Thorpe believed in an inf1ex1-
BILE uprightness. The command to do
evil that good may come was to her a
perverted text. She was not aware that
there are sins of omission, as we'll as Of
commission and that her uprighteous
condemnation of sinners and her severe
judgments were in themselves Of a sin
full nature The self-righteous are often
harder to live with than the sinner
Leander Clarke had been good son
and he intended to be a good husband.
He was both proud and fond OF his
wife, but certainly regretted that he
could not give her all the luxuries that
she could appreciate not even the
grand piano that her musical talent de-
served. But he went to work with
will to make her happy and hoped IN
a few years to be able to add all other
needful things.
Among the wedding presents OF the
young couple was one that far out
shone all the rest-a superb set of dia-
monds, sent by an uncle of Leander'
who was near to death and gave the

that I should possess such magnifi-

''But these have no associations,
said her husband. ''They are not heir

s'They will be. All diamonds were
new at some time. And are they not
associated with the dear old man who
gave them?"
The dear old man had been a terror
in the family and had only given the
diamonds to Leander's wife because he
hated that nephew little less than the
others, whom he hoped to make hor-
ribly jealous and angry and-had sue
ceeded.
When Leander asked his wife to keep
her diamonds in the bank she promptly
declined.
''But you surely will lot wear them,
dear?" he suggested.

not be consistent with our position"
"They are a gift to me. Surely I have
the right to do as I please with my
own
''The right-yes, but I thought my
wife had more discretion. I did not
know you cared for gew-gaws, Mabel"
So the first cloud came on the horizon
of their love, but Leander was good
tempered and Mabel satisfied, and it
disappeared. The truth was that Lee
ander had expected a handsome sum of
money from this very uncle, who was
a bachelor and very old. But age had
not mellowed an ugly disposition to
thwart his relatives, and after raising
the young mans hopes he took a ma
licious pleasure in disappointing them.
The young couple began life in a
pretty furnished cottage on the modern
plan of a chafng-dish and hand-paint-
ed china, and it worked like a charm.

ecial TO the indianapolis Journal.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 26.-The sec
ond day of the National Circuit meeting, in
this city, was as full of fine finishes as was
that of yesterday. A rather stiff wind that
blew on the stretch saved the records, but
the men more than made up for these with
fighting finishes. The attendance was a lit
tie smaller than yesterday, but more en-
thusiastic. Edward Cannon Bald again won
the mile open, in which Dirnberger had a
bad fall through the crush of the men, as
the field of eight who had qualified in the
heats rushed for the tandem. Bald, Ca
banne. Coulter, E. c. Johnson, Dirnberger,
l.. c. Johnson and Sims was the representa-
tive field that faced the starters. The tan

came down, l.. c. Johnson going over him
and Coulter quitting with a case OF rattle.
Bald gained the coveted position, with Zeig-
Ter, Cabanne, Sims and K. c. Johnson in
order. AT the turn Bald rounded wide with
Cabanne, closing with him, and Zeigler held
the pole close. Bald and Cabanne, in their
battle, pushed ahead of Zeigler on the
stretch. Bald winning in 2:0S 40, a foot
ahead of Cabanne, who was in turn a foot
ahead of Zeigler. M
Cabanne won the two-mile handicap from

record. Fifteen men sarted. with Cabanne.
Titus and Coulter on scratch, and the field
formed at a mile and a half in two punches
some fifty yards apart. At the bell Titus
jumped to the front and closed the gap, and
Cabanne, rounding the back bunch, shot
through the center OF the long-mark men
and won by a foot from Barry. Titus run
ming third and Coulter about fifth.
Zeigler won his first race this season on
the National Circuit when he captured the
half-mile open in a hard fight with his team
mate, Coulter. Jenney running third. Eight
men finished almost abreast. shifting in and
out in a most exciting way ali down the
stretch. Zeigler closed the day by riding
a paced mile behind the giant quad team in

TWAS ERRORS THIS TIME.
Poor Work by the indianapolis In
field lost the Game.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
DETROIT, Mich, June 26.-The Tigers"
made 1t three straight to-day. Errors
were as plentiful as hits in the first foGI
innings. and the home team was lucky
to bunch their hits with the visitors err
rors. Cross pitched a good game, but
Whitehill a better one. Roat presented
Detroit with three or four runs. and Glen
alvin's errors scored three more. After
the fourth inning. however. both teams
put up a great game Of ball. There were
practically no close decisions. and there
was an absence of the wrangling which
characterized the other two games. Wat
kins sat on the bench, but did 10. have
anything to say.
Here is how indianapolis lost the game:
Nicholson got a single in the first inning.
Roat fumbled Newman's hit and threw
wild. and both runners were safe. There
was a double steal, and then Dungans fly
to Canavan scored Nicholson. Campau's
single scored Newman, and Strouthers's
out and Raymond's single scored the
Count" That was three. Twinelam got
a base on balls, Whitehill a single. and
then Nicholson hit to Roat. The third
baseman threw the ball over Mo.z's head
and IL went into the bleachers. All three
runners scored. Newman got a single and
DUNCAN a base on balls. Campau advanced
them a bag each on a sacrifice. Strouth-
ers hit a short fly TO left. which Mccarthy
made a brilliant catch of. He threw to
Glenalvin TO catch DUNCAN. Glenalvin let
the ball get away from him and DETECTED
its course so that ii rolled to the grand
stand. thus letting Newman and DUNCAN
score. That was five more. A couple of
errors n two hits made Detroi:'s total
of ten.
Errors gave Indianapolis a run in the
second. Caravans home run added an
other In the fourth. and three singles gave
the visitors their last tally in the fifth.
