THE MPENETRARLE SECRET.

From Adams arrival in this wicked world
To the wonderful age we are in.
Our wise men have shattered some pretty
hard nuts
And also committed much sin;
But one of the problems that's baffi d
them all,
And has put all their science to rout.
Is something concern ng the sex we adore,
What a woman is thinking about.
Her eyes may be laughing at something
we wear
And her face may be solemn as deGth
Her tongue may be wagg ng on forty o d
themes
Till she's really gasping for breath
But the wisdom and science of all Che
world
Isn't able TO clearly find cut
What fits through her mind. or can even
surmse
What woman is thinking about
Her lips may be saying a host of sweet
things.
And her eyes with true love be en-
shrined.
Her lover may think that he knows every
thought
In her gentle and feminine mind:
But the very next breath her mood Is
transformed.
And she's having mystical pout:
All, all of loves logic cannot make IL
clear
What IA woman is thinking about.

LIONS FOR HER PETS.
1he Odd Playmates of Child, Which She
Calls Her Pretty Kittens.

From the New York World.
1t is written in the Scriptures, Then
shall man and lion walk side by side"
Marie knight isn't a man and she has
not walked with lions. She is very
little and very pretty baby girl, so
charming that even the little lions
loved her.
Christian Knight, her father. owns
travenng circus, which was exhibiting
in Berlin. There the big loness in the
menagerie gave birth to four cubs. Now
the .lIoness rs very fine and splendid
creature, but she has been reduced to
the ignominy of playing the part of an
animal clown.
The imaginative people about the cir
Gus said that the heart of the lioness
was moved to rage by her position. She
could not bear TO think of her family
being raised in captivity and made to
perform silly and Illuminating tricks.
Therefore, 1t was natural that she
should attempt to kill them to save
them from a worse fate. OF course,
this isn't true, but it is a much nicer
way to look at 1t.
The four cubs We're separated from
the mother and placed in an enclosure
I in an open yard, where they gave no
end of trouble. The keeper assigned to
care for them did not please the little
beasts, and they bit and scratched him
whenever they had an opportunity.
One day Miss Knight missed her pet
kitten. She went forth to look for it
and wandered to the den of little lions.
Perhaps the kitten had found its way
there before her and the lions had
! eaten pussy. This is reasonable
enough for the cat hasn't been seen
since. Marie thought the little lions
4 were kittens, and much prettier than
her pet. There was no one about and
/ she went into the enclosure. She be-
/ gan to fondle them and play with them.
/ They scampered about and were rather
rough, whereupon she scolded them
vigorously.
4 When Marie's father missed her he
was anxious. 1t is rather dangerous
! for babies to wander about a menag
/ erie. When he saw her in the lions
den he was dumb with terror. When
j he could command his voice he called
4 to her.
The child laughed gleefully.
Papa. see what pretty Kittens" she
said. She tried to lift one of the
cubs but it was too heavy. The lion
didn't like to be picked up and struck
at her. Marie boxed the cubs ears
soundly and the brute drew back and
then skunk up to her to be forgiven.
Then Papa knights horror turned to
admiration. He said that Marie was
a true showman's daughter, and a real
tanner of wild beasts. He ran for his
camera and took the picture which Is
reproduced, and which is more conyinc-
! ing than the story itself.
! Little Marie has become the keeper
of the cub. She always feeds them
and is the only person who can manage
/ them.

made imminent in order to show that
the republican party is equal to the
emergency.
The explanation is worthy of Senator
Quay but ii must be pronounced
unique. With the fate that overlook
Platt last autumn before his eyes, Quay
is living in anticipation of fight of the
same sort upon himself; already the
anti-Quay republicans in Pennsylvania
are organizing for it. Silver is the club
with which Quay arms himself. He pro-
poses TO frighten the republicans into
leaving him alone by letting them know
that they must present a solid front
against free-coinage agitation, and
meanwhile his own confession is that by
his vote in congress he docs what he
can to keep up the agitation in his own
interest. A patriotic programme. in

Ito miles and hence could not by any
possibility collect large number Of mis-
force at any one point to resist an at
tack OF the enemy. 1t required Ger
man army of, approximately, oDu,vOJ
men to lay siege to Paris from Sept. lo,
1870, to Jan. 80, 1871, but the authority
we refer to is Of the opinion that to re-
peat the same operation, a German be-
sieging army would have to number
more than 100000 men, and the work
of maintaining such force and prop
erly handling its parts would oe some
thing which few governments would
care to undertake, and few military
comanders would be able to efficiently
perform.
Besides, these great outlying fcrtifi-
cations would give to the people or
Paris, IL their city was again besiegu,
an opportunity to obtain many of the
smaller supplies of life from the sub
urban district, since as the sytem OF
fortifications has been built 1t would be
as though the line of defense for Boston
took circuit which extended from
Brockton, Walpole, Framingnam, Con-
cord, Andover and reached the water
again at Gloucester. If the tide Of war
was thus kept back from our city Il is
easy to see that we should not silfter
as intensely as IL 1t were carried on
almost within our municipal area. The
French have spent upon these new
fortifcations an amount varous!y esti-
mated at from $30,000,000 20 $50.000,000,
and hence can well afford to sell -.he
land occupied by some of the now obso-
lete fortifications Of a generation ago.

Where Chandler Is Weak.

~IE gold-standard people are apie
to answer Mr.. Chandler in
pretty satisfactory way when
ever he appeals to the st. Louis plat
form in defense of his attitude on the
currency question. Mr.. Chandler finds
himself frequently compelled to explain
his position-that necessity presented
itself when he announced his intention
TO vote for the Teller resolution. lie
SAYS that the st. Louis platform
pledged the republican party TO pro-
mote international bimeta1ism: he al
ways takes occasion to add that the
failure of the administration to do this
means the success of "Bryanism" in
the congressional elections of next au-
tumn and in the national contest of
1900.
The ready answer of the gold-stand-
ard people to Mr.. Chandler is that the
administration has faithfully complied
with the international-c conference part
of the st. Louis platform and, the ef-
fort in Europe having failed, the ad-
ministration is obligated now TO main
tain the gold standard. Silyer's friends
know that the st. Louis money plank
was written i'm full assurance that its
international-agreem clause would
speedily prove to be dead letter. Sem
ator Chandler ought to have known
this; but even If he did know il, he is
compelled to act and speak as If he
did not, else there is no show OF sin
cerity in his course. However that
may be. it is apparent that, on every
/ occasion when the question comes up,

The action of the French parliament

Still Harping On Gage.

* EvERAL, of the Washington cor
~ respondents of prominent news
- papers refer to the efforts OF
western republicans in congress- to
force the resignation of Secretary Gage.
These western men flatter themselves
too much; they have a ridiculous idea
of their Importance. They have man
aged to make themselves of more ac-
count than is normal by pestering the
administration with stories about the
trouble they have in keeping their
constituents In line" whereas their
constituents tolerate them simply be-
cause their term of office compels that.
OF course, Mr.. Gage won't resign be-
cause of the impotent barking and
snarling of these few men. On the con-
trary. the president himself is moving
rapidly toward the place where his po-
sition is constantly a stronger approval
of Mr.. Cages plan.
SIlver's friends don't want Gage to
quit Quite the reverse of it, their hope
is that he will push his plan and make
the most of it. 1t is better that the
issue be squarely drawn-silver's
friends are prepared for IL: indeed, they
court that result.
What purpose would the driving out
of Secretary Gage serve? No purpose
except dishonest one. He is in mani
fest harmony with the rest of the ad-
ministration; what warrant would the
president have. or what sane reason. for
seeking to make the contrary appear?
These western republicans must
make President Mckinley tired. They
are cheap lot; they We're purchased
with the promise of odds and ends of
patronage which neither Hanna nor
Mckinley cared a rap for, anyhow.
Now they puff and blow. as If they
amounted to something. It's wonder
the president doesn't tell them TO go
west or go to the devil or go any
where that would rid him of their
noisy misrepresentation of him. He
would do il, II he were president with
the right kind of nerve.
