Whist In the Church.

And that's what the matter with
Emporia-too much whist. The paint
ed china set is married to cards. Women
have no higher thought from week S
end to week s end than winning head
prizes. They grow nervous, irascible,
bad tempered and ugly playing cards.
Little crows feet appear at the corners
of their eyes after an evening with
whist, and deep, vertical lines pillow
themselves just Above their noses.
There are more plain women in Empo-
ria who lost their bloom at the rented
card tables than there are women who
have worn themselves out over the
kitchen stove. 1t is worry, not work,
that makes women fade, and cards are
sapping the juice out of the town. Only
the young people patronize the public
library. The old folks make what IS
trump" the chief end of man. Cards
have invaded the churches. One church
has big factional row looming upon
the horizon because the pastor has jump
ed cards. Another church narrowly
avoided it last winter A third pastor
sees his best customers whooplng it up
in whist clubs and hasn't the nerve to
say word. In the meantime poker
rooms, which are just as improving and
elevating and just as helpful to the
town as whist clubs, have opened on
Commercial street, and the town is en-
joying the fruit of the seed the women
have planted. -Emporia Kan. Gazette

Ian Maclaren on Scott.

"Scott was all gold, and even the
nuggets are not enough; the gravel
ought to be sifted and the gold dust
gathered in, for Scott had such an afflu-
ence of knowledge, legend and poetry
that he did not write by measure, but
put his hand into his pocket and threw
out money that any might pick it up.
What che is afraid of is that Scott is
being raised to the elevation of a classic,
and that is the same thing as taking a
man out of the house Of commons, where
he is an active figure, and placing him
in the stately seclusion of the house of
lords. I do not know single page of
Scott that is not readable, and do not
know single page that would shake a
mans faith or bring blush to wom-
ans check. Why do not people read
Scott as they ought to? Some say that he
is not interesting, and others object to
his style. Why, Carlyle himself brought
the charge against Scott that he was
amusing. Amusingl One of the grand
est functions of fiction is to be amusing
in the right sense-that of lifting up
the weight and care Of daily life from
mems minds by leading them into re-
gions Of sentiment and romance.

"The feelings of woman are far deep
er and finer than those of man, cried
the lady orator in a fiery tone. We
are told by those who style themselves

rior. Is that SOP"
A loud chorus of "No!'' from the Ia

Hounding Celebrities.

DR.. Paul GARNER, French specialist
in lunaey, has been giving some infor-
nation about the insane men and WON
en- who follow celebrities about and fall
in love with them. The doctor has to
send two or three women of this sort to
asylums every month, and nothing is
known of the cases by the public. Good
looking priests, the doctor declares, are
notably marks for the attention of such
females. After the priests, but in lesser
degree, come the members of parlia-
ment whose names are most frequently
III the newspapers or who make good
speeches in the chamber, the authors
and the handsome actors. The latter,
like the priests, have often been threat
ened by their jealous admirers. In some
instances women have gone to the the
aters with loaded revolvers ready to fire
at them, but for some reason or other
have failed to carry out their purpose.
As to actresses, DR.. GARNER states that
their dangerous adorers are terribly nu-
merous. Nine. Sarah Bernhardt has
sometimes to be watched over very care
fully. Her worshipers secrete them
selves in all sorts of places in order to
see her enter or leave her theater or her
residence The special detectives have
had to interfere on two noted occasions
in order to save the famous actress from
the bullets or the daggers of maniacs
who resolved to injure or kill her be-
cause she refused to respond to their fat
teries and passionate declarations of
love.

4 Wonderful Parrot of India Which, the
Natives Claim, Thinks.
A little bird in town Gid surprising
thing the other day, though that is the
middle. of the story. The first of the
story is that woman who had lived
many years in India and who has love
for all things Indian was walking along
the street and saw in the window of a
bird store green parrot with red spots
on its wings.
That bird, she said to herself,
''came from India. will go i'll and
speak with it. Perhaps it speaks the
vernacular y
So she went in and spoke to it in the
yernacular of India.
Do you speak the language" she
said. 1t is the common question which
the people ask of parrot in the land
from which the bird came But the
creature made no answer. 1t stared at
her with dull eyes and was not inter
ested. Still she persisted.
Come, " she said. "Surely you speak
the language? What do you want? Are
you hungry? Is poor Polly lonesome
away off here? Come, come, you speak
the language"
Still the bird made no answer, but
from away back in the dusk of the room
came clear little bird voice in Hindoo-
stance:
81 speak the language. also, speak
it,"
The birdseller did not notice the cry
1t is merely the chattering Of a foolish
little bird to him. But the woman who
loved India said
"Where is that bird?'
''It's back there, said the bird seller,
pointing to a remote corner. So the wo-
man went there, and in an old cage she
found a neglected looking mahnimah,
standing erect on its perch, all its feath-
ers ruffied, looking this way and that
as it quivered with excitement. This
bird of all talking birds is the most
wonderful-nay, in India they main
tain that it thinks. 1t learns, in fact,
the tongue of the people, they say, and
does not speak by rote, but it converses.
At any rate the mahnimah cried:
81 speak the language. I speak it.
''Here I am, BROTHER cried the wo-
man. 81 am one who speaks it too. "
The bird fixed one sharp eye on her.
'sYou are little, y he said disdainful-
~, putting his head down in his feath-
ers to indicate how little she was.
lyon are little, but am large, and
then he stood erect with his head
thrown back and looked down on her.
1t said other things, too, while the
bewildered bird seller stood by and lis
tened, astonished that the bird had any
value or that any one could understand
it.
GLOW much will you take for the
bird?' asked the woman.
Twenty dollars" said the man.
The price had gone up in the last ten
minutes.
''Where did you get it?''
A sailor brought it here, and bought
it of him. He had come from New York
and was going to San Francisco. He
said he was tired of Juggling it over the
country. =
He must have come from some place
where there are Lascars. y
- do not knorA Will you take the
bird, n am? so
But the woman could not afford that,
SO she called back:
