MENELEK'S HANDSOME QUEEN.
Her Masterful Ways, Her Influence Over
the King AID Her Taste In Wines,

In a letter on affairs in Abyssinia the
Rome correspondent of the Paris Figaro
gives this description of King Menelek' S
helpmate:
Queen Taitou was spoken of recently
as wanting to lead her troops to the assault
of Makalle. 'Taitou' means light, or sun
light. She is descended from an ansient
and noble family, originally from Samien
She is well formed, with regular features,
except for little defect of the mouth,
which she endeavors TO conceal when she
speaks. Her skin is a clear brown. Her
eyes are black, large and expressive Her
feet are small, and her hands are aristo
cratic, just as are her manners in general
She dresses in the Ethiopian fashion, with
q great deal of taste and elegance. She
wears on her reck, her wrists and around
her ankles ornaments Of gold, artistically
worked According to circumstances, the
expression Of her eye is benevolent or
scornful or fendish. She belongs to that
class of women with whom it is we'll TO be
on good terms. Woe to him who becomes
her enemy or doesn't know how to appre
ciate her protection Even the king him
self would not risk the defense of u friend
against the resentment or vengeance Of
piOuu StubDOlL Ncibetii
ing all the outside appearance Of weak
and submissive creature, she knows how
to impose her will, and when she wishes
to obtain anything she works for it with
passion. She would spend days, months
and even years in the pursuit of her object,
and she always gains her point. She is
thoroughly acquainted with all the state
secrets and insists upon knowing every
thing that the king docs and everything
that he writes. She gives counsel and
dictates important letters.
THE queens pride and her mania for
meddling with everything have made nu
merous enemies for her, and she might be
an object of pity if the king should die be-
fore her, because in that event she would
be in danger of being stoned to death.
She knows this very well, and as pro
cautionary measure she has accumulated
immense riches in the country of Godjam,
where she intends to take refuge in case
she becomes u widow. She likes most
European liquors. especially French cham
payne, but doesn t care for the sweet wines
of Italy, which We're brought to her by
Makonnen on his return from Rome
Sometimes she takes too much, and il
such cases she might perhaps be more
charming to her husband than to her out
side admirers"

IN CASE OF FIRE.
Four Men Who Always Went Prepared
For Emergencies.

For Emergencies.
II have always been afraid of fire in q
hotel said traveller for a boot and shoe
house, land Oh my very first trip provided
myself with q knotted rope 60 feet long.
Anything like the smell of smoke Away
wakens me, and any unusual noise in the
night brings me out Of bed. One night
there were four of us boys occupying two
beds in "a room in Il southern hotel which
had "a crush of guests. Our room was OIL
the fourth story, and each one Of us got
our ropes before going to bed. We also
went out into the hall and located the
stairways, elevator, etc.
AT l O'Clock in the morning. with the
rain pouring down, and the night as dark
as a VOLTS throat, the hotel caught fire In
the kitchen, and all the guests were arous-
ed. have always felt proud of the cool
ness OF our quartet. One man whipped
the sheets off the two beds, tied them to-
gether and ran the length of the hall and
lowered himself down to the opening OF
the freight elevator. A second seized his
trunk and dragged it down one pair OF
stairs and left it, and then threw his coil
of rope out OF the window without stop
ping to fasten the end, and then ran into
the hall and Into room at the far end OF
it and was found in wardrobe after the
fire had been extinguished.
And in your case?' was asked.
ooh, l was very, very COOL l threw up
a window, made the hook of my rope fast
and slid down to the street amid the jenys
Of the assembled populace.
You mean cheers?"
Not exactly. You see, had only e.
cross the roof to another window and t.
step out on The roof OF store level with
the sill, and the assembled populace
couldn't understand why l should prefer
to monkey with the rope and burn the
skin off tho palms Of my hands till was
q cripple for six weeks. l believe one inn
pulsive individual called me Il hero, but
the rest of the crowd and the daily papers
spoke OF mo as an ass, and l think they

A TOUGH MEXICAN PONY.
Falls Three Hundred Feet Down a Preci
pice and Doesn't Break a Bone.

Bills AhTeo huuuEeu EteG DOWN "A ffcci-
pice and Doesn't Break q Bone.
DR.. John c.. Barron of 80 Broadway,
the president of the Lyons g. Campbell
Cattle company, whose ranches are in
New Mexico, tells this story of fall from
a precipice of Mexican pony ridden by
one of a hunting party, of which DIR. Bar
ron was member, in the mountains last
September. DR.. Barron, by the way,
brought home as trophy the skin of "a
large grizzly bear which he shot The
skin is now q rug in his library at his Tar
rytown home.
They were making the ascent of high
peak, and the path was very precipitous
and dangerous in places At the point
where the accident happened the hunters
had dismounted and were leading the ami
mails. They came to a narrow ledge ami
at the point where they struck it. it was
several feet above the path. The horses
had to jump up on it. On the opposite
side of the ledge there was precipicc,
broken by several lodges. 1t was 800 feet
to the bottom.
The pony referred to jumped, but, fail
ing to measure the distance correctly, gave
himself such impetus that he went sheer
over and down the precipiee. The men
locked over the edge and watched his de-
scent. He turned over and over. About
IS feet down he struck and broke off two
saplings, and little lower he struck tho
first ledge. \ second or two later he
struck another. He had on good saddle,
and, thinking that the pony had been
killed, the party sent a man down to get
its saddle
Imagine our SURPRISE" said DIR. Bar
ron, when the man sent down shouted
up to us: He isn't dead! Hos standing
up, drinking water!' Then we went
down. Sure enough, there he was on his
feet, alive and without bone broken
There was a great cut in his neck and Il
hundred or more wounds in various parts
of his body. The saddle was split in two.
He got well and is still alive. New York

Ducks ana brakes.

man who wrote to Forest aud
Stream" awhile ago said that so per cent
OF the ducks he had killed were brakes
four brakes to one efemale-and he want
to know the reason why. Others
promptly said they had observed similar
prepOnderance Of brakes, and also want
ed to know why. One man told how he
had seen one female chased by four
or FIVE males. He had killed As in a
spring days shooting, and of them only
nine were females. Thus far no ex-
plantations has been given OF the matter.
We clipped theforegoing article from
the plate matter in tho Mitchell Repub-
lican. The explanation is simple. The
preponderance of brakes brought to bag
is confined almost, if not entirely, to
spring shooting. and over decuys at that.
In flight shooting, either in the spring
or fall, there is but little percentage
either way. II the number of brakes
killed exceed the females it is because
the brakes are naturally on the wing
more than the females and consequent-
ly exposed more to the gunners. 1t is in
the spring however, when tho armorous
brakes pay the penalty for their passions
withstheir lives. The writer has shot
hundreds OF them over decoys along the
marshes of Lake Erie in the spring of
the year. This is the mating season and
the fearless manner in which the brakes
plunge into the lecoys, accounts for the
percentage OF this SEX killed.

Probably three out of four campaign
orators quote the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence as claiming that "All men are
created free and equal" This mistake
has been common in the past and is as
prevalent Iow as ever. Presidents OF
the United States, members af congress,
governors and n host of lesser lights
have made the blunder, and to their
number can bo added editors and
distinguished orators like the late
Henry Ward Beecher. Nevertheless the
Declaration does not say that "all men
are created free and equal" and it
would not be true If it did. No person Is
created free. he OF she is subject for
years to the control Of parents or guard
ians. and natural laws recognize this
subiection as right. What the Declara.
tion does say Is that: .'All men are
created equal" There may be some
dissent from that doctrine, as there is M
evident difference among men in men
tai and physical endowment at birth
but while the Declaration Of Independ
ence is quoted as saying they are, it hat
better be Gloted correctly.

Beware

sufferer from scrofu!ous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts

Springfield, ILL.,, and st. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to q re-
1noval OF the gland. Atthis critical mo-
rnent friend recommended S.SsS.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot

and now it is entirely gone, though lam
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
would have esrsped years of misery
and saved over StI5o."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
