PARADE OF AUTOMOBILES.
A Novel Event Is Participated In
by the Leaders of Newport
Society.

The big social event of the Newport
Or. ~ season was the automobile pa
rade which took place the other even
ing. 1t was arranged by Mrs. Stuyves-
ant Fish, Mrs. Herman Oelrichs and
Mrs. Oliver Belmont, the latter leading
the parade in an automobile trimmed
with hydrangeas. She was seated un-
der floral canopy, while large gauze
butterfly drew the machine. Mrs. Bel
mont was followed by Is automobiles
driven by the following: Mrs. f. Roll
Inns Morse, Mrs. Burke Roche, VIM
throp Rutherford, Mrs. William Carter,
Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, Miss Scott, Will
liam X. Vanderbilt, Jr., Mrs. Joseph

SAN JUAN'S FORTIFICATIONS.
Congress to he Asked to Make Ap.
propriatton for Placing Modern
Guns In Old MORO Castle.

Figures are being prepared looking
to the submission to congress of esti-
mates for the fortification of San Juan,
Porto Rico. Simpsons Intellectual bonn
bardment demonstrated that the
Moro fort on the heights at the en-
trance of the harbor is nearly impreg-
nable as it is, and would be completely
SO with modern rifles mounted on dis
appearing carriages and with scien-
tific emplacements which would in.
sure accurate fire.
Porto Rico is considered the best
strategic point in the West Indies, and
hence it is considered that San Juan
should be fortified at once so as 20 fur
nish the United States with a seaward
base which would control Cuba and the
entrance to the Isthmus canal alike.
The last war demonstrated that the
heaviest ships cannot reduce good shore
Notifications, and hence it is proposed
to put modern guns in San Juan's old
Morro fort and then develop the in
terror harbor into naval station with
repair shops, arsenals, powder fac
tories and dry docks absolutely secure
from attack.
Some interesting facts and figures are
to be presented to congress this winter,
showing the value of coast defenses as
demonstrated by the useless attacks OF
SIMPSONS fleet at Santiago and San
Juan, and special plea for the fortifi-
cation of the latter place will be put
in on the ground that the Notifications
are not only needed, but would also
furnish work for the new American cit
izens of Porto Rico and be the start OF
the system of public improvements il
is hoped to inaugurate on the island.

PATRIOTISM.

What is it. this force that impels US,
Which masters our sense and our will,
That startles our uttermost being
With the sting of a subtle thrill
When the Flag Is unfurled?
The throb which strains at our heart
chords,
This might that Is greater than love,
Till the tenderest woman caresses
The eagle instead Of the dove,
When the Flag IL assailed?
For which men yield their blood n tie
trenches.
Accept fever and famine and pain?
Whose ineffable peace to the dying
II smile on the lips Of the slain,
When the Flag has been servedf
That we call It patriot ardor''
Is Jingle of idle sound;
But the thing itself-what Is IL,
Holding flesh and spirit bound.
Which the Flag inspires?
As holy as fire from the altar,
AS high as prophetic thought,
As deep as eternity's spaces,
From Gods mind into ours Is 1t wrought,
This power of the Flag.

GLORY.


o what .:lory must there ne for him who
hears
The happy peop4e hailing him with cheers,
Whose fame is everywhere,
For whom banners fioat in air,
Who has proved his valor on the bloody
field,
Or won in splendid battle on the wave
What heights OF glory to him are revealed
In the moment Of the cheering for the
brave!
What glory must be his who rides along
The beheld of all beholders in the throng-
Who reads love In every eye
As he proudly passes by
Who can know that he Is numbered with
the great.
Whose name will give his children's chill
dren pride!
What glorious reflections must eIate
The statesman as he bows from side to
side.
The heroes and the men who rule are few,
There may never be a chance for me or
you:
We may never hear a cheer
From the crowd when we appear,
But there IL Joy the least of us may know
The pride that keeps ahame within the
breast
OF him however high, however low.
Who has found some work that he can
do the best

he CLAIMED THE BUNDLE.
to BE Untruthful and
Dishonest.

Coming in on summer car from
Highland Park one night / was occu-
pying rear seat. A young man who
had had two girls out at the park, and
who was bringing them home, was on
the same seat. The conductor picked
up neatly done up bundle and asked
me: rs this your package?"
1T is not" l replied.
rs it yours?" he asked one of the
girls.
mo, sir" she replied.
rs it yours" he asked the young
man.
Let me see," he said, with the hesi-
tation of liar who is not an adept at
the art. "I-I-I believe it is mine. Yes,
that's mine"
He took it and looked guilty, though
he did his best to appear innocent.
Il didn't know you had bundle
with you," remarked one of his female
companions in low tone.
The conductor had gone ahead to
collect fares, and the young man looked
my way to learn whether was listen
ing. Of course wasn't, because that
would have been uLmannerly.
II had it in my packet" he replied.
"and probably you did not notice it,"
'What have you got in it?" asked
the other girl, with natural curiosity.
"Oh, just couple OF things that
thought l might have use for" he re-
piled. with assumed carelessness.
Let me see, now," said the girl. '4u
bet it's something you don't want us
to see."
mo, 1 assure you it isn't" he an
swered.
Then let us see what it u.s." she per,
sisted.
She reached for the bundle and he
tried to keep it from her. There was
a little struggle for possession of it
and the paper came off,
"Oh-h!" screamed both girls.
1t was no wonder, for wrapped in the
paper was nursing bottle half filled
with milk, with nipple attached, and
two very useful and necessary articles
of wearing apparel for infants. A liar
and thief had been brought sudden.

A Pretty wedding Cu.tom.

There is pretty wedding custom at
Peru-the origin and the significance
l could not learn. Some say it is Bib
lical and others that it is an old Moor
ish custom. 1t is customary for the
padrina or godfather of the groom to
hand the padrina or godfather of the
bride tray containing 13 pieces of
money. 1t may be gold or it may be sill
yer, but there must be 13 pieces, because
Christ and the IL apostles make that
number. The godfather hands the tray
to the bride and she hands il to the
priest and the priest spends the money
for charity.-Lima Cor. Chicago Record.

''Do you know its fathor?"
Eugene de Lassi? No. Is he here
this EVENING""
"Yes. and l want to present him to
you. All, there he is. NJ. de Lassi!"
and in another moment there stood be-
fore Leonie-the false painter!
For a moment she hesitated; but the
old spell reasserted itself and she found
herself listening, almost against her
will, to his plea for pardon. And he
pleaded his cause most eloguently.
II am half inclined not to forgive
you," she said, at length, 'you acted
abominably-you know you did"
II acted like fool and . knave,"
said Eugene, land you ought never to
pardon me; but you will, won't you?"
"Well," said the beauty, semi-reluc-
family. "if you'll be very good boy"
"Yes."
"And never deceive me again"
"Never."
"And never paint any more such
wretched trees" f,
"Never." :,
'"Then forgive you for having played
the servant"
"But want to play it again."
She looked at him inquiringly.
II want to be your servant forever"

Of excitement born Of wild terror. Z
was controlled by one of those wild i'm
pulses of fright which causes an animal
to rush back into the flames from which
his keeper has rescued him. l grasped
my revolver and ran out of the door
through which had seen the apparl-
ton glide, then down the stairs, three
steps at time, and pulled open the door
at the foot of the landing.
AS opened it my attention was in
stantly arrested by the sight of an OBJ
ject crawling low through the hedge
fence. Mechanically took aim and
fred. There was convulsive shaking
of the branches and bushes, a report, q
groan, and then-silence.
l dropped my smoking revolver and
sped across the prairie to the hotel,
aroused the sleeping landlord and clerk.
and told my adventure. Great excite
ment followed. The whole town seemed
to learn the news simultaneously. I'M
mediate investigation resulted in fnd-
ing John Brownson, lying wounded and
unconscious, in the garden of the Tay-
lor farm. Medical skill was summoned,
and it developed that a painful, but not
necessarily fatal, bullet wound in his
leg would compel his confinement in his
room for some time.
The Morning Item contained the fol-
lowing account of the occurrence:
John Brownson, farmer living near
Cheyenne, was shot at and wounded by
a travelling man, who mistook him for
a ghost"
The ghost walked no more on the Tay-
lor premises, which were soon after
sold to the town authorities for school
