THE WIDOWS ADVANTAGES.

my dear boy" said an experienced
man to the writed not long ago, there
are features about widows which make
them really preferable as wives. They
are not so exacting, for one thing. Tnelr
first plunge, IL 1t has taught them any
thing, has taught them to be forbearing.
Besides, they are not so detestably ro-
mantle. If they drop their gloves In
the street, they pick them up without
any fuss and don't wait for you to bend
your knees to them. And-a very strong
point-they know what men are, ana
don't have to learn their lessons with
sad tears and signs. They aren't SO
prone to be extravagant either-anothcr
excellent feature in their mature caps.
In short, II you marry, don't pass over
the widows as If they were just the alloy
Of humanity"
There Is great deal Of common sense
in what he said. Even In wooing widow
man Is sure to be saved much trouble.
The dear lady can meet him halfway
without any sacrifice Of modesty. This,
to humble-minded bachelors, Is much.
She is, moreover, nearly sure to be quick
er Of intelligence than the average UNI
married girl.
Again, marriage often changes young
woman in the most alarming manner.
The pretty, blushing girl Of one year 10
often hardly recognizable in the assum-
ing, naughty young matron Of year
later. She doesn't show half so attrac-
lively as a ftlll-blown flower as she did
in the bud. The number Of men who have
thus welded only to be disillusiored!
You can tell some Of them by the wrnk'a
set in their foreheads within a year or
two after their marriage, or by the 9TH
wise inexplicable habit Of taciturnity
that they acquire.
One may form a tolerable idea of
widows merits in some respects by her
demeanor early In her widowhood. Tact
is the supremely useful quality in the
average widow. In the long run 1t IS
better than beauty in a wife; better
even than money. BY It a woman may
guide her husband toward happiness,
while ministering to the harmless pride
in him. which makes him think he is do
ing 1t himseN.-Casselrs Saturday

WILD, BARBAROUS PEOPLE
The Riffs Have Plundered Vessels for
Centuries
France Has Determined to Wipe Them
Out and Incidentally Change
the Map of Africa.

1t is generally supposed that pirates no
longer exist, except in the lurid liter
taure sold to small boys. This is mis-
take. France has just fitted out three
warships for the purpose of wiping out
q nation Of pirates, and Spain stands
ready to help France, if any help be
needed.
The pirates are the Riffs of Morocco.
Long before the dawn of the Christian
era these people were pirates, and they
are just as much in the business today
as ever. Century after century they
have plundered on sea and on land, and
none of the great powers have been am
bilious to declare war upon them and
bring them to terms.
This Is all the more strange for the
reason that the great modern guns of
the English, mounted on the rock of
Gibraltar, could almost throw a pro-
5ectile across the strait and into the
country inhabited by the pirates.
Riff means "the coast" In the native
language, and while the Riffians are
nominally the subjects of the sultan of
Morocco, he has as much control over
them as he has over the Indians of
Alaska. All of the resources of Moorish
ferocity, cruelty, craft and power have
been employed to bring the Riffian to
terms, but without success. The sultan
of Morocco is not peaceful gentleman,
by any means, and&deeds of gross in
humanity are of common occurrence
with him, but he is not the equal of the
Riff pirate in these matters.
The Riff country is not extensive, be-
Ing but fifty EIGHT miles wide and 210
miles in length, but If the sultan could
control it, it would yield rich returns
to his ax-gatherers. Moreover. it could
be made of immense commercial value,
as it includes all of that part of Moroc-
CO fronting upon the Mediterranean sea,
running from the city of Centa, which is
directly opposite Gibraltar, to the boun-
dairy line dividing Algeria and Morocco.
FRANCES OPPORTUNITY
A few weeks ago a swarm of Riff
pirates in their peculiar little boats
called feluccas sailed out to the French
ship COrinte. overpowered the crew and
plundered her. While they were at work
the Spanish steamship Sevilla came to
the rescue; of the Frenchmen, but the
pirates swarmed up on the decks of the
Sevilla, killed five men. gathered up a
lot of booty and then disappeared
When the news Of this outrageous act
reached the French people they were
angry. but the statesmen of France
were nightly pleased. The outrage has
given them an excuse for descending
upon the Riff country, conquering it and
adding 1t to their already large possess
ions in Algeria.
There would be no use appealing to the
sultan of Morocco for redress, for, as
has been stated, he is powerless to pun
ish the Riffians. He could be made to
pay immense damages for the depre-
dations of his nominal subjects, but
France prefers to seek her own VEN
geance and collect her own damages.

In the past twenty years succeeded in
making some Investigations OF the cuun-
try but nothing of a certain and extern
sive character has been cleaned.
1t Is estimated that the population of
the Riff country is about 100000. They
are not Moors, but come of Berber or
aboriginal stock. They are Mohanune-
dams but they would murder one of their
own religious belief as soon as they
would kill Christian. They are divided
into countless little tribes, and when
they have nothing better to do fight
among themselves. But on threaten
ed invasion by the regular forces of the
sultan they flock together and present
q united front to the enemy.
HAVE MODERN GUNS
The Riffs are we'll armed and know how
to use the modern munitions of war with
considerable SKILL Within the pastyear
they have plundered about dozen ves-
sells, and the crews of these have report
ed that the pirates. had rifles Of recent
make. They wear body sashes holding
many knives and pistols, and in board
Ing vessels always use short swords or
daggers in preference to firearms.
The last venturesome explorer who
succeeded in getting partial glimpse
OF the Riff country was an Englishman
named Harris. Disguised as a Moorish
trader, with his arms and legs stained
deep brown, he managed to avoid de-
lection for some months. He spoke
Arabic fairly well, but DENIED 1t wiser to
pose as a deaf mute. He was accom-
panied by an Arab boy who did all the
and who proved a valuable as
sistant. This trip was made in 1883.
This explorer found that the Lesser
Atlas mountains, which run along the
Rif country parallel with the coast,
were splendidly fortified with cannon
Every Riff native is something Of

ing how to mold bullets, make powder
and to repair guns. They buy their guns
by making secret journeys to Algerian
and Spanish ports, and 1t Is believed that

Moorish customs officers have endeav-
ored to break up the traffic and thereby

have done as they pleased.
1t remains to be seen what the French
will do with them. A French cruiser
has been ordered from Touion to the
Riff coast, and Admiral Gervais, COM
mander of the Mediterranean squadron,
has, under orders from Paris, sent the
cruiser Troude and the dispatch boat

to be bloody conflict.

CHICAGo's GENIAL THIEVES.

The quintet Of saloon robbers, which
has been terrorizing citizens In that
business in various parts of the city for
the past week, Is getting to be quite as
famous as the long and short man."
Thursday night the robbers made their
appearance again on the West side, and
succeeded in making away with nearly
$50, going at their work In the same
way as hitherto. and joking about it as
they proceeded.
This time their visit was made to the
place OF Charles Schimel. Two other
persons besides the proprietor were in
the saloon, one of them the bartender,
