An American Woman's Experience
With Furniture Made to Order.

has been connected with missionary
work in that country, was with chairs
1t had never entered my mind that
what is with US such common article
of household furniture should be an
unknown quantity to any of the sub
jects of the Mikado, and it was with
diSmay that l discovered the house 1
was to occupy was quite chairless. l
Immediately summoned native car
penter, and tried to explain to him
what l wished him to make for me. 1t
was an extremely difficult task, for he
was evidently unable to comprehend
why anyone should desire to sit other
wise than cross-legged upon the floor.
Unfortunately, my talent for drawing
is strictly limited. | realized that fact,
but until / had made several Intellectual
attempts to portray a chair-about as
easy a subject as / could have had-I
had never really appreciated the extent
of my incapacity. The drawings which
the poor carpenter finally carried off
with him as models We're such that my
heart misgave me. That l had good
reason for my fears was shown when
proverbial Oriental faithfulness, the
man had made precise copies of his
patterns Where the chairs of my
sketches had weakly balanced backs,
slanting seats and crooked legs, so their
wooden counterparts exhibited the
same peculiarities. They were more
difficult to sit on than l should ever
have imagined chairs could possibly be.
Some of them needed the mural sup
port of a friendly wall to enable them
to make any sort of success of standing
on their legs.
1T was little after this that l gave
a small reception to a few of the people
whose acquaintance / had made. One
of the first to arrive was city official
Of high rank Anxious, apparently, to
do the correct thing in my eyes, he
seated himself on one of the chairs,
very gingerly it must be confessed, for
he confined himself to the extreme
front edge, and looked as if he expected
some accident to happen at any mo-
ment. When I handed him the tea and
cake which comprised the refreshments
he took the cup in one hand and the
plate in the other. Then he sat there,
with his hands full, not knowing what
to do in order to be free to eat, and
looking thoroughly miserable. After

DARING FEAT OF BRAVERY.
AN ARr1Y SERGEANT ATTEMPTS
TO STOP A RUNAWAY,
And Meets With Serious Injury
Congress Will be Asked to
Award Him a rledal.

CHICAGO, May 11.-Sergeant Harry
G. Dickinson Of the First United States
Cavalry was seriously injured while at
tempting to stop runaway morse on
Michigan avenue. Sergeant Dickinson
was one of the troopers detailed to es-
cort General Stanton from the Yelling
ton Hotel to the Coliseum. The cav
airy party proceeded as far as Thir-
teenth street, when runaway horse
and milk wagon dashed past, going in
the same direction. The sidewalks
were crowded at the time and as the
fleeing animal seemed to be beyond all
control a serious accident appeared to
be unavoidable.
Captain Wainwright, who was in
command of the cavalry, ordered Ser
geant Dickinson to stop the runaway.
The Sergeant dashed ahead, overtaking
the animal between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets. Changing his saber
to the opposite side of his body so
that it would not interfere, he plunged
beside the terror-stricken horse and,
at the peril OF his life, leaned over and
grabbed the bride.
His own horse then became uncon-
trollable, but, still clinging to the run
away, he endeavored to check it. At
this moment a man in a buggy coming
in the opposite direction became con-
fused, and, wheeling his horse around,
ran straight into the Sergeant and the
runaway. The next instant the buggy,
three horses and milk wagon were in
one wreck on the ground and the
plucky Sergeant was lying unconscious
beneath his horse. The troopers came
on in unbroken order, except for two
men ordered by their Captain to go to
the Sergeants rescue
The troop halted when it came along

When Loving Mothers Grow Selfish.

1T is when children reach maturity
that the supreme test of parental love
comes" writes Edward w. Box dis
cussing the home-leaving of children at
time of marriage, in the Ladies Home
Journal" "All through infancy and
early years the children are more or less
care. And then, just as the parents feel
relieved from cares and anxietieS, and
are beginning to enjoy the companion
ship of their children in the serene and
complacent way which 'grown-ups' have
there comes f1uttering of the wings
remote suggestion of flight. The son
is no less his mothers boy than he has
been and ever will be. But he is-and
who realizes it so quickly as a mother?
in new and very natural sense, an
other woman's hero; and that woman a
girl. With her he discerns, away out
on the horizon line, the shadowy lines
of a house that is to become a home,
their very own. The GIRL too, whose
going in and out of the house has been
a daily joy to the parents-she, too, has
become a heroine to some one other than
her father or her mother 1t is hard
for the parents to realize that this mate
of her flight can care for her as they
have; that in her young eyes, in her
young heart, it is possible that he can
be altogether noble and capable! And
after the young birds have taken flight
the parents wonder if sometimes they
do not grieve in their new life. But some
fine morning a clearer vision is given
them, and they realize that, after all,
their children are only playing the same
role which they played a few years be-
fore. 1t is magnificent quality in
parents when they SO prepare them
selves that they can meet this inevitable
time with the proper spirit-when, in
other words, parental love can get the
better of SelfiShneSS.'

side the place where the Sergeant lay,
but it did not break ranks. Every cav
alryman kept his saber at thel proper
angle and looked straight ahead with
his face, but kept his eyes on the two
men gone to the Sergeant's rescue.
1t required several minutes to extri-
cate Dickinson from beneath his own
horse. He was covered with blood, had
an ugly cut over the eye and was badly
bruised. The driver of the buggy,
Frank Stumm, was also bruised. The
injured soldier was carried to a house
and restored to consciousness. He was
then taken in the ambulance to the
hospital tent. The Sergeant's horse, a
very fine animal, was so badly hurt
that it will have to be killed.
General Stanton said that Sergeant
Dickinson's act was the most daring
feat of bravery he had ever witnessed
and he will recommend to Congress
that a medal be awarded him.
