Senator William +. Mason always
has been joker. Even when school
boy he never let chance pass without
having his fun at the expense of some
one else.
When he was public school pupil,
the boys knew as much about "crib-
bling" as they do now, and it was moth
ing new for them TO conceal needed in
formation OH their cuffs or inside their
watches
One day when Willie Mason was tax
ing an examination the keen eyed teach
er observed him take out his watch ev-
cry minute or two The pedagogue grew
suspicious. Finally he strobe slowly
down the aisle and stopped III front OF
Willie's desk.
"Let me see your watch, he com
manded.
"All right, sir, was the meek reply.
The teacher opened the front lid. He
looked somewhat sheepish when he read
the single word, Fooled -
But he was shrewd man He was
not to be thrown off the scent so easily.
He opened the back lid. Then he was
satisfied. There he read

The Summer Girl In White.

The summer girl of 1898 is apparent
ly TO be "A good deal Of a snow maiden,
as far as raiment is concerned, for all
indications point TO a white season.
And so our demoiselle is going to ar
ray herself in skirts of white pique,
with shirts TO match; in blouses and
other waists of pure white lawn and
dimity and "all over embroidery, and
if she would be little out of ordinary
she may indulge in coat and skirt cos
tune Of white corduroy, taking care to
get the handsomest quality, which
looks like wide repped uncut velvet.
This will be an admirable gown for
cool mornings to attend the casino con-
certs mt the summer resorts, while for
hot afternoons nothing could be more
delightful than dear little frock of
white china silk, with ruf1les edged
with white satin bebe ribbon or with
tiny edging of yellow valenciennes.
Such gown is as cool as an organdie.

Tell 1t on Secretary Long Now.

The secretary of the navy had one OF
his own rules enforced on him few
evenings ago. Secretary Long went to
the department after Office hours, and
instead of going to the main entrance,
where he was known, found it more con.
venient to go in one Of the side doors.
He was met by Waterman, who de-
manded his pass.
Mr.. Long explained that he didn't
have pass, but told the Waterman he
was the secretary of the navy.
"Anybody can come here and say he
Is the secretary Of the navy" replied
the Waterman. II don't know you, and
you can't enter the building without a
pass That is the order Of the secretary
Of the navy. 4"
The secretary appreciated the fact
that the Waterman was strictly comply
ing with the rules which he himself
bad made, and he was too good disci-
'irarian to do more than commend him
his strictness Mr.. Long then made
way to the main entrance of the
iding, where the Waterman knew

A Study of Racine.

In Racine's tragedy men dominate
events. They are what they make them
selves. But tragedy demands that pas
sion dominate will, and since his age
accepted more readily the dominance Of
passion in women than i'm men his great
characters are nearly all women, and
they have a certain family resemblance.
The maidens Iphigenie, Eryphile, Mon
ime, Junie-all resemble Hermione as
sisters, like, yet different, while against
the more experienced victims Of passion
Athalie, Roxane. Berenice, Phedre, An
dromaque, stand out III unique dignity.
These women appeal to us with far
more tragic intensity than load or Hip
polytus, Bajazet or Mithridates, Orestes
or Pyrrhus And thus, as Lanson gal
lantly Observes from Racine dates the
empire of woman in literature, " at least
in France.
1t was said that Racine did not in
vent tragic combinations, as did Cor
nellie, and that is true. Far from add
ing to tradition, he simplitied it, He
sought no novel situations, but endeav-
ored to draw from natural ones their
full import which was poetic invention
of a higher kind, and in this the rules
so aided him that, as we SEQ from his
comments on the poetics Of Aristotle,
they seemed to him dictated quite as
much by reason as by authority. Sc

SHORT NEWS STORIES.
Mary Endicott- Chamberlain, American.
Lutte Willie Mason Tell It on
Secretary Long Now.

According to advices received from
London, all England is talking about
the possibility of an Anglo American
alliance, and everybody thinks he knows
why Joe Chamberlain made his speech
for the alliance Of Britain and the Unit
ed States, says New York correspond
ent. No peer Of the first magnitude, no
great party, no mighty financial interest,
constituted the power behind the throne
which resulted in speech which has
been freighted with more political i'm
port than anything spoken for years.
A woman, according to the wise ones
| is the power that has stirred the secre-
tary of state for the colonies TO come
out so broadly. Ii is little Boston girl
daughter of a long line Of Puritan de-
scent, who has succeeded i'll upheaving
all the powers of Europe-Mary Endi-
colt that was, Mrs. Joseph Chamber
lain that is.
She is the most talked about woman
in England today She has already
come off first best in social fight with
the Prince of Wales and his set. Now
she is i'll line to turn the same winning
trick against the combined hands OF
Spain, Russia, France and Germany.
Boston is leading London by the nose
And why not, they say. Is not his
charming American wife the only per-
son in the world who could make Joe
Chamberlain give up wearing his ia
nous monocle?
Mary Endicott, the American girl,
first showed her firmness and independ-
ence by snubbing Lady Brooke, the pro-
tege of the Prince Of Wales. And now
the war with Spain! Once more the
blood of her father tingled in the veins
of Mary Endicott Power after power
formally declared its strict neutrality,
only to do everything at its command
covertly of course, in ofiicialdom, but
openly as far as the masses weut--to aid
Spain. Only England was left The
snobs there were for Spain, but the
great mass Of sober, sensible Britishers
knew which side was right and which
was wrong.
And now-Mary Endicott's change.
Her husband would do what she want
ed, and SO Chamberlain spoke.
This is the pretty story Of Yankee
girl $ influence that London is talking
about.

Marriage Ceremonies Among the CainTuas.


The only fcrmality which the swain
has to go through to get the hand OF his
promised one is to kill tapir, an act
by which be proves that he will be ca
pable Of supporting his prospective fam
lily. The death Of tapir under such
conditions is quite an event. The whole
tribe assemblies at the carcass, and a
scene of gluttony begins that does not
cease till nothing is left but the skin
and bones of the great beast" That is
the only ceremony of marriage. The
Caingua is usually homogeneous, but
polygamy is allowed. Marriages Of rel
atives are carefully avoided. After con-
finement the young mother has rest
of a few days before resuming her serv-
lie task. She carries the newborn in
FAINT in scarf or sort of little hammock
slung over her shoulders. She does not
think of weaving it for year and a
half or two years, while the child has
already been exercised in arms with
miniature bows. Ideas Of cleanliness
seem foreign TO the women as well as
to the men, and it is a lucky chance
that will induce them to comb their
magnificent heads Ct hair.-Dr. Machon

The bad Lands.

In it's widest scope the arid region
of the United States comprises half the
territory Of the entire country, for TO
so great an extent must /. rigation be
employed either as a lri. Try or sec
ondary factor in the cul;t.,i4n of crops.
From about the ninety sixth to the
ninety ninth meridian there is strip
of about 250 miles in breadth which
Major J w Powell calls the "subhu-
mid" tract Within it there is an an
nual precipitation sufficient to insure
crops, but the precipitation is SO dis
proportionately bestowed and at such
irregular intervals throughout the year
that the seasons of successful farming
are interspersed with long and disas-
trous drouehts. Reliance, therefore, up
Oh moisture directly falling from tho
clouds is extremely hazardous, and, I'M
supplemented by waters from stream
distribution, it is not generally reposed.
But west of the ninety ninth and east
of the one hundred and twenty first
meridian, throughout the whole breadth
Of the country, from Canada to Mexico,
there is 9 district in which nothing
needing moisture greater than that re-
quired by the artcnsia or the cactus
can be planted and crown. 1t is re-
