WANTED TO SEE HER.


= Wasn't Curiosity That ImpelIed Her,
VI but Admiration.
| She was a plain, wistful little
i 4nan who entered the Office OF a
i Ecago newspaper and said she
| bted to see the editor. She apollo
i ed very humbTy for jostling the
how of another woman with blue
glasses and irregular features who
was writing rapidly at small table
at one side of the room.
1T don't want to violate any of
the rules of your establishment"
she said deprecatingly, NOR to ask
any favor that you are not in habit
Iof granting"
1--WE will be glad to do almost
anything we can for your except to
print libelous remarks about some
body"
"Oh, I don't want anything pub
Ilished. I want to see about some
thing that appeared last week"
do you wish to answer an adj
vertisement?"
mo. It's something of an entire,
ly personal nature, and I don't quite
know how to tell it.
Perhaps you might write it and
let me read it, " the editor suggested
as he glanced at heap Of manu-
script. II could take plenty Of time
and readkt slowly, you know, and
then I'd be sure to know exactly
what you mean"
ooh, no. I'll tell it to you. What
I want to do is to find out the ad-
dress of the lady who writes the
articles entitled How to Be Beauti-
full I've read every one of them,
and have taken ever so much in
terest in them.
/ The woman at the small table
ceased writing. and looked pleased.
do you want to write to her, or
is it your desire to meet her individ-
ually?"
II want to meet her face to face
I haven't anything to say to her.
just want to look at her. And am
afraid that would be a little embar-
RAISING to both Of US.
! The woman at the small table
! looked less pleased
You mean that she strikes you
as somebody that it would be inter
esting to see, as a matter Of curiosi-
ty."
"No, / don't think curiosity is
quite the word. I don't want to
stare at her as if she were an ex-
hibit in museum. l want to stand
in respectful admiration. I've tried
some of her recipes for being beau
tiful, and, as you can see for your
self, they haven't Produced any
very remarkable results. But I've
had SO much else to do that could
not follow out the directions sys-
tematically, so 1 don't find fault
with anybody but myself.
'I'd like, though, to see somebody
who has made life study of the
art from an intelligent standpoint,
and don't know of any one so like
ly to have done so as the lady who
wrote the article. She knows all
about it. That's plain enough from
the articles she writes, and I'd Just
like to feast my eyes on her for
few minutes. 1t would be a kind of
an encouragement to keep on try
ing, and maybe I could force myself
to so about it in more methodical
way and get some results, the same
as she has DONE"
"Well, " said the editor, arising
from his chair, "your wish is very

to go to Cuba and look over the
situation there for himself. The

will spend a week or ten days on
the island. Mr., Moneys scheme is
no doubt a good one, but we ven
ture that the view of the situation
he will obtain in a week or ten

He will either learn enough to dis
cover how little he knows, or else
return with the idea that he knows

Kong to the effect that the treaty
as published in Shanghai is denied
at St. Petersburg, and it Is asserted
that "the railway scheme Is contin-
ed TO the building of a short Chi
nese railway in Manchuria, con-
Meeting with West Siberia and the
Vladivostock lines" The Hong
Kong Weekly Press, however, is
inclined to look upon this denial
as dirt thrown in the eyes of the
public so that it will not appreciate
the full force of the victory, for
Russia is well aware that the Cas-
SIM convention confers on her
great privileges and powers which
if judicially utilized will preserve
for her a preponderating influence
at Picking, by enabling her to Sc
cure a grip upon Manchuria from
which she cannot readily be dis
lodged" The projected railways
are characterized as relatively short
when compared to. the great trunk
line of the Trans-Siberian railway.
but they cover considerable dis
tances and would not ordinarily be
called short. "By this instrument
China has virtually placed Man
churia at the disposal of the power
she has always most dreaded. Pc
king itself will be at the mercy of
Russia so soon as the railways are
completed, and the Chinese Gov
eminent will, in all probability, Ill
timately become as much amenable
to Russian pressure as the Shah of
Persia"
1t is not probable that the Hong
Kong Press exaggerates the new
power Russia has gained by this
diplomatic stroke, but after all has
been said for and against the Mus
"ovite policy there seems to be no
good reason why Russia should be
forever barred from an outlet on
che Pacific. Admitting that this
treaty will be the first step toward
the disruption of the Chinese En-
pire, it would be next to impossible
for Russia to place any portion Of
the Empire under any worse politi-
cal conditions than exist today. |

loors to commerce and civilization, |

agent in forcing the way, the
