TIE FOOLS PRAYER.

The royal feast was done. The king
Sought some new sport TO Danish care
And to his jester cried "Sir fool,
Kneel now ard make for US prayer"
The jester DOTTED his cap and bells
And stood the hooking court before.
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.
He bowed his head and bent his knee
Upon the monarch's siken stool.
His pleading voice arose. 40 Lord,
Be merciful to me, fool
"'Tis not by guilt and onward sweep
OF truth and right, o Lord, we stayi
IT'S by our follies that so long
We hold the earth from heaven away.
"These clumsy feet, still in the mire,
Go crushing blossoms without end.
These hard, well meaning hands we thrust
Among the heart strings of friend.
9TH i'll timed truth we might have kept
Who knows how sharp it pierced and stung
The word we have not sense to say?
Who knows how grandly it had rungG
"Our faults no tenderness should ask.
The Christening stripes must cleanse them all
But for our blunders, oh, in shame
Before the eyes of heaven we fall.
earth bears no balsam for mistakes.
Men crown the knave and scourge the tool
That did their will. But thou, o Lord,
Be merciful to me, fOol!'
The room was hushed. In silence rose
The king and sought his gardens cool
And walked apart and murmured low,
''Be merciful to me, a fool"

to take for his model a composite photo
graph of the most beautiful women of all
countries.
1t is intended to make not something
that will look like a wooden building in
strange form, but an accurate representa-
ton of the head of a living, breathing
woman-something which will appear sc
lifelike as to be startling and not so gro
tcsque as to he unsightly. The French, in

To give a proper flesh tint to the statue
building it Is proposed t1 have the outer
covering made OF a thin layer Of wood
bearing an artistically llid on complexion
Beneath this are to glow many lights, sc
that by night this gigantic beauty will
shine like a star The eyes are to be par
.ticularly striking, the pupils to consist OF
a Tair of powerful arc lights. The hail
will be made of strands of small rope ar.
ranged in a natural ana lifclke fashion.
Growing this will be IA wreath, such as
our Goddess Of Liberty wears.
The head itself will be about as high as
a four story building. The entrance will
be through Il door in the base of the neck
The interior of the head will he divided up
into floors and these il turn into rooms,
which will be devoted 10 the wants and
comforts of women visitors to the exposi
ton In the second story will be a large
lecture hall, in which the meetings of
Womcns societies may be held. On the
fourth story will be a restaurant, and from
this the visitor can climb up to the roof
garden which the wreath will inclose. The
architect says that windows of peculiar
shape and construction will be arranged
so that the graceful outlines of the face
will not be marred. This is only one OF
many unique structures that have been
proposed for the coming exposition, which
promises to be one of the most interesting
ever held.

ORIGINAL BLOOMER GIRL.
She Rode the Original Safety Bicycle Thir.
ty Years Ago.

The bloomer girl is not so new as many
people imagine. As early as 1869 young
woman made "a sensation by riding about
the streets of Chicago on a crude safety
bicycle. She was attired in short skirt anc
boomers, and although she was highly
respectable young lady of modest manner,
she was looked upon as a good deal ad
vanced in her ideas. And so she was, fol-
1t was not until two or three years age
that the bloomer girl became familiar tt

This original bloomer girl was Mis-,

she rode was the original safety bicycle

but later he constructed one with frame
made of common gas pipe. The front
wheel was 80 inches in diameter and the
rear one 80
1t was such a wheel that Miss Durkee
learned to ride. The drop frame had not
been thought of then, and boomers were
a necessity, SO she devised n suitable COS
tune which she little dreamed would be
so generally adopted a quarter of II century
later. She became an expert wheelwoman,
and her riding was such IA novelty that for
some time she gave exhibitions of her
skill at county fairs, She also learned to
ride her wheel across a tight rope and per
formed this daring feat before large
crowds. Miss Durkee died several years
ago, but her father is still alive and is
constantly bringing out new inventions.

Russia and che Sealing Question.

WASHINGTON. oct 15.-Although
formal conferences on the Bering sea
question win not open until after the
arrival of the japanese delegates. yet
the presence here Of two of the Russian
delegates has permitted the authorities
TO inform themselves quite thoroughly
as to the attitude of Russia on the
protection Of the seals. 1t has brought
out the fact that Russia takes an adj
vanced position in preserving her seal
herds and has more stringent laws and
regulations in that direction than any
OF the countries interested. Under the
Russian system a zone 30 miles wide
is established around the seal islands
belonging to the empire. The seals
found within this zone are regarded as
exclusively Russian, and no one other
than the inhabitants of the islands can
take a seal within these limits. This
gives to Russian subjects exclusive
rights over the seals not only on the is
lands but extends 30 miles seaward. A
British or Japanese sealer cannot oper-
ate within the zone except to buy skins
of the Russian inhabitants OF the is
lands.

CHICAGO, oct. 15.-The flood Of ora
tory continued in the Luetgert trial
yesterday. Attorney Phalen, for the de-
fense, concluded his address after
speaking two hours in the morning
and then Attorney Vincent began the
closing address in behalf Of the de-
fendant The main point Of his argu-
ment was to raise in the minds of the
jury a doubt as to whether Mrs. Luet-
CERT Is really dead. He admitted that
she had disappeared, but insisted that
it had not been shown beyond all doubt
that she was dead. Having spent much
time in trying TO create a doubt In the
minds OF the jury, he insisted that there
should be no half way measures in the
verdict. If Luetgert was guilty of this
crime he deserved all that the law
could mete out to him, but If he was
not guilty beyond all doubt he should
be set free.

ance Commissioner Belts has recently

organization OF the association was TO

report that the holdings Of President

tute proceedings or criminal prosecu-
tions against any officers Of the asso-
citation. Mr. Belts said: Il have not

Report on the Hammond Case.

WASHINGTON. oct. 15.--secretary
Aiger has received the report of an In
quiry, conducted by Captain Richards
into the alleged brutal treatment Of Pri-
vate Hammond by Captain Lowering
at Fort Sheridan some days ago. Cap
tain Richards examined a number Of
persons. including Captain Lowering
and Hammond. The testimony Of these
two witnesses, Secretary Alger says,
agrees almost entirely, except that Ham
mond claimed Captain Lowering kicked
and jabbed him with his sword more
times than the latter admits; also, that
Hammond declares the captain swore
at him, which the latter denies. Colo
mel Hall, the commandant at Fort Sher-
ldan, practically indorses the action ta-
ken by Captain Lowering In the case.
Secretary Alger had consultation with
the president about the matter ana
win consult further with him about 1t.
