Twenty Thousand ONers of Marriage.
Paul Du Chaiilu. lecturing in New
York recently. retold some of his early
experiences in the Dark Continent.
The speaker said that one of the most
difficult things he had to overcome in
his Journey Of over 10000 miles
through the equatorial forest was the
disposition on the part of friendly
chiefs to marry him to some dusky
maid. On one occasion the king OF
the country in which the traveller was
conceived the idea that the white man
was displeased with the treatment ac-
corded him. After an absence of sew
eral days he returned with S53 young
girls selected from the whole tribe for
their beauty, and proposed TO the
traveller that he should take wife.
The lecturer said that although the
situation was extremely embarrassing
he returned diplomatic answer.
which he still thinks is good one.
He suggested to the king that II he
married one Of the girls the other s52
would be jealous. The king thereupon
called meeting of his counselors, or
gray-beards, as they were called. and
after three hours elaboration Du
Chaillu was again called into the
circle, composed of 10000 or more of
the tribe and informed that his sug
gestion was good. But as the ex-
plorer was congratulating himself on
his finesse. the king added: Therefore
you may take all the S53 girls" When
the explorer added that during his stay
in Africa he had received no less than
10000 offers of marriage. both whole
sale and retail, he brought down the
house.

Motives.
A rather mysterious musical artist
who set q good many musically inclin-
ed Washington people to wondering
last summer has lately reappeared In
the northwest section Of the city. This
man is remarkably good player OF the
viola. says the Washington Star. Rath-
er late in the evenings OF last summer.
when residents living In the northwest
quarter had about finished their cool
ing-oif sittings on verandas ana front
steps and were about ready to retire.
they were all at once quieted In their
chatter and then thrilled and inspired
by very beautiful music, proceeding
from an inyidual source-music now
like that produced from violin by
skilled player and again like the muted
notes OF cello. The music was OF a
high grade-fine old German lieder
songs, bits from the more melodious OF
the nocturnes. arias from some OF the
great operas, all rendered with fne
musical feeling md precision. At the
conclusion of these rather peculiar
serenades. the player never appearing
in view of the listeners for backsheesh.
the men on the steps and verandas
would seek the source OF the music.
They found. standing in the heavy
shadow cast by n tree or the wall OF
a building. a well-dressed man. good
looking and under so. picking out
chords with his fingers on the strings
of his instrument. When the investi-
gators handed him silver the man
stretched out his hand for 1t smilingly.
but with no word CT thanks. When
the investigators attempted to pump
the strange musician. with the ided OF
finding out how an artist so splandidly
trained happened to be playing in the
streets for coin. the man simply point
ed to his mouth with deprecatory
gesture, as II to indicate that he was
mute. Then he would walk away. Last
week some ladies living in upper Sew
enteenth street heard this music OF the
v!ola-they had often spoken OF 1t
among themselves since hearing 1t last
summer-and when the young man OF
the house whom they sent to investi-
gate returned he told them that the
musician was the viola player OF last
summer. as prosperous-looking. mys-
terious and quite as silent ns ever.
Whether the man Is really q mute or
not cannot. of course. be ascertained.
but it is certain that he Is master OF
the viola up to the bridge OF the In
strument.

enough to accustom herself to the use
Of a pistol and learn TO pull the trig-
ger with the certainty of hitting the OBJ

my best friend on several occasions of
urgent need. 1t one time it saved me
the loss of my century bars. l was
riding in the lonely part of the coun-
try several miles from my CITY home.
The day was fine and the country
flower garden. had dismounted to
gather bunch of wild posies, when
suddenly 1 became aware of the pres
ence of n rough-looking individual,
who demanded 25 cents. his tone of
voice evidently meaning to convey the
impression that If the money was not
forthcoming trouble would ensue.
told the fellow that had no money to
give him, but he advanced upon me
with the air of one who had very
easy task in hand.
"All right, miss" he said: II youse
amt got no money. I'll be content with

across the front of my sweater within

time he agreed with me, and by my
orders he walked ahead of me to the
top of the hill. encouraging his prog
ress whenever he showed signs Of lag
ging by running my wheel against his
legs. It was a question which of us
was the most frightened. the tramp or
his captor, at the first chapter of the
encounter. but during the walk up the
hill he looked so thoroughly crestfallen
that I with difficulty restrained de-
sire to explode with laughter. At the
top of the hill he obeyed orders and
started back, while l rode on alone,
thankful for the wisdom that had made
me familiar with revolver and hip
pocket. This experience will show
women how invaluable has been the
possession of a revolver at critical mo-
ments. No woman should travel alone
without one, for they give her greater
feeling OF protection, and as matter
of fact are better protectors than all
the police of big city, when sudden
emergencies arise that are matters Of,
not minutes, but seconds to settle.
