The Popular Hero of Romance.

If one may judge from the novels that
young women seem to read with most
avidity, they do not like lover to be sen
timental, rhetorical or brutal. They still
prefer him to be big and strong, but let
him be careful not to put on airs about it.
There is nothing which seems to please
little woman more than to humiliate a
big man, and that at his own game. If
she can show him that she can sail a boat,
shoot rapid, climb mountain or swim
farther out to sea than he can, she is in
fair way to accept his humble profer of
love and allegiance in the next chapter.
The prevalent hero is man who can do
almost anything we'll, but keeps it to him
self He must be a man of immense re-
serve powers, who exhibits most of them
playing golf or polo or riding to hounds
or running a steam yacht.
If he permits the fact to leak out that
in winter he is intensely interested in civic
and philanthFopic problems, he begins to
get hold on the affections of the naughty
lady What the modern young woman
seems to want in hero is a correct fash
ionable and rather frivolous manner of
life, but inwardly tremendous serious
ness of purpose. If he simply has the
purpose, - he Is all right-he need not do
much, for the world is known to Oe rather
cruel and cynical toward reformers. The
girl knows that he viii fail of carrying
out his ideal, but she is determined that
he shall have her by way of compensation

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. a. On account
OF the attacks of State Insurance
Superintendent McNall Oh insurance
companies, another big life insurance
company has announced its intention
of withdrawing from the state. This
time it is the Mutual Life Insurance
company, of New York, one of the
strongest companies in the world, and
one that has been doing business in
Kansas continuously since 1869. On
January /, all of its Kansas agents,
twcnty-eight in number, will quit
writing business After that it will
simply keep one man in the state to
receive premiums on policies already
issued Quo warranto proceedings to
GUST the company from the state are
pending in the State Supreme court
in defiance of Federal Judge Will
liams' injunction, and rather than
keep up the fight longer the company

MAY WHEAT CORNER.
Armour and Letter Said to he Working
Together for That.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24~-The possibility
that Letter and Armour will pool
their interests to corner May wheat is
stirring traders on change. The Post
says: George French, operating
for the Letter crowd, has piled
up line of at least 1000, 900 bushels
of May wheat according to reports
from the floor. Armour's radical
change of front in bulling May wheat
is common knowledge. 1t is equally
we'll known that Armour has line of
May wheat bought which is sup
posed to come close to the Letter
holding. AS if to emphasize the
bull talk both Armours and
Letters men borght wheat to-
day. Armoar's movements are closely
yelled, but Letters hackers make no
secret of their dealings in May wheat.
According 10 the forecasters on
change the situation has never been
so favorable for corner in May wheat
as it will be this season. Every where
the price of May is on the rise and the
difference between May and December
is being rapidly narrswcd.

EXPLOSION AT A FIRE.
CHICAGO BLAZE DEVELOPS
INTO A DISASTER.
Twenty-three People Hurt-Five Story
Building Wrecked By the Explosion
Debris Hurled Among tho Crowd That
Was Watching tho Fire.

CHICAGO, Dec. 94-Fire broke out
shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon in the basement of the five story
building at l04 Madison street, the
first floor and basement of which were
occupied by the Tossetti Cafe and Res
taurant company, and the second floor
bv the billiard parlors of Frank Mussey.
The blaze was insignificant at first
and a crowd of people gathered on
the sidewalk in front of the building
to watch the work of the firemen.
About one dozen policemen were
busily engaged in pushing back the
throng when IL terrific explosion of
natural gas took place. The building
was badly wrecked, the windows,
window gratings, sidewalk lights and
manhole covers were hurled into the
air and fell among the crowd. Dozens
of people were thrown from their
feet and twenty-three were injured,
only one of them being seriously hurt.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Dec. 24.-Rabbits
are spreading diphtheria, the doctors
say, throughout the central part of
this state. Some time ago it was no.
ticed that hundreds of the Dummies
were dying of a disease which the doc
tors pronounced almost identical with
diphtheria in the human family. Soon
after the epidemic commenced among
the rabbits diphtheria began to be
noticed among the families in the
locality. The conclusion was reached
that the germs were conveyed by the
animals.

Amid 1umultuou' Scenes
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Dec. 24.-Amid
scenes of riotous disorder and intense
excitement, the house yesterday
passed the Republican apportionment
bill by vote of 70 yeas toa54 nays.
There were but two votes to spare. 1t
was hairbreadth escape from defeat
for the Republican managers.
It was a dramatic end of the APP
portionment fight in the house. The
Democrats shouted and jeered, and
did their best to. make so much noise
that business could not be transacted
A score of their loudcst tongued men
mounted their desks and started a
hullabaloo that was maintained until
two calls of the roll were finished.
so great was the tumult that every
body in the state house was drawn to
the scene and the floor of Representa-
tive hall was crowded with excited
men, whom neither the speakers gavel
nor the sergeant-at-arm could control
