Western Hospitality.

People in the eastern cities know not
the meaning of the word hospitality"
as it is written in the dictionary OF the
western ranchman.
why" said Senator Warren Of Wy
Oming, discussing some of the charac-
teristics of western people the other
day. II would regard it as personal
insult If went to house on any ranch
and found the door locked. The first
impulse Of the average western man on
such an occasion would be to break the
door down."
But how about locking up when the
inmates 60 away?"
Senator Warren laughed. 1T would
make no difference at ALL" he said.
1--WE all go on the general superstition
that a man travelling through the coun-
try is hungry. If he has any food in
his haversack, and finds nobody at
home he goes in the house, takes pos
session of the kitchen, and cooks his
meal. If he has nothing he helps him
self to what he can find. He does 1t

reddest Jersey a woman ever wore.
and the front of that jersey IL en-
bellished with pictures and remarks
embroidered In white silk. The chief
work of art is the seal of the army
an eagle above the words Blood and
Fire." To this. which every woman

sentiment of her own in the form Of the
words Blood Washed"--very heavily
and deliberately done in white silk. She
says she selected that motto when she
was child. and that she has always
wor 1t. The poke bonnet she wears IL
heavily shirred with navy blue silk
and the wide ribbon strings tie at the

In speech Miss Booth Is quiet and

you as II your remarks had great
weight. and Of submitting hers as II
they were Of no Importance In COM
parison. But she -eturns to her own
when views conflict. and in important
matters she takes her stand In q gentle
but absolutely immovable fashion. It
would not be an easy nor an especially
pleasant task to try to move her from
stand which she thought was right.
In this. too. she is like Mrs. Ballington
Booth, whose iron hand was frequently

THE PRUDENT MARLBOROUGH.

He Takes Out - Zig Policy on the Life
of tho Duchess.
The report that the young duchess OF
Marlborough (nee VanderbilD was to
have her life insured for the benefit of
the duke Is confirmed in private let
ter, says the New York Recorder. The
amount is 100000. An application
has been made and a medical report
submitted. but 80 far as known the In
surance companies have not passed up
on 1t. The probabilities are that they
will accept the risk. for they will re-
ceive big premium and get other benz
efits Besides. British companies like
to mortgage the lives of the aristocracy.
This will be one of the largest, II not
the largest. OF risks ever taken. It will
undoubtedly be underwritten by syn
dictate. Two or three weeks ago re-
port was cabled that the duchess was
Ill In Rome and her condition was such
that an eminent physician had been
summoned from London. Both state
ments were promptly denied and the
report was evidently based on the visit
OF the insurance medical examiners 10
the duchess. 1t was about that time
that Sir Dyce Duckworth, M. D., LII.
d.. honorary physician to the Primes Of
Wales. received commission from the
insurance companies representatives
to proceed to Rome and examine the
duchess. When Mrs. Hamersley mar
ried the late duke Of Marlborough here
and went to live In London she ex-
pended 81, 100000 in restoring the pal
ace OF Blenheim and. by way Of 'ndem-
nifty. she. at the suggestion OF her
American solicitors. took out a policy
on her husbands life for 100000. II
was denied by the Marlborough family
that any Of the Hamersley money was
used to rejuvenate the palace and 1t was
asserted that the expense was borne
by the Marlborough estate. Whoever
circulated the story doubtless had In
mind the mortgage on the dukes life.
Those close to the Vanderbilts say that
they are not particularly we'll pleased
by this latest development and Mrs.
Alva Vanderbilt Belmont has written q
very matter-of-fact letter to her daugh-
ter on the subject. Her father will
probably have his say in person when
he meets the duchess and her duke.

What caused the old black-facnd

figures and the yellow hands, to stop
at the fateful moment? asks the At
lanta Journal. That is the question
that many persons have asked them
selves as they have looked at the hands
Of the clock. pointing for the last few
weeks to SIS. That was the exact time
OF night when President Lincoln met
his death at the hands of John Wilkes
Booth and as silent monument to
Lincoln's memory the makers OF
painted clocks since then have always
painted the hands pointing to 8:1S.
Nearly all of the painted clocks have
the hands marking that time and 1t is
strange that the clock on the corner
should know about it, For more than
a year the old clock has been keeping
good time for the many shoppers who
have thronged along Whitehall street
