Two unwelcome Admirers.

A youngish widow, accompanied by a
woman friend, went to Chicago not long
ago and has related this experience to
some home friends. The widow being at
tractive and her friend none the less SO,
had the misfortune to excite the admira-
ton of two very well dressed men in the
dining room of the hotel where they were
staying. OF course no notice was given
by either woman. both being uncomforta-
bly, aware of the unfiattering attention.
When the ladies arose they observed
one of the men questioning the waiter,
presumably about themselves, and a mo-
mcnt after reaching their rooms were sur
prised by the knock OF bell boy bearing
two cards on his salver. The widow
picked up the cards and read aloud, .sir.

TROUT COOKED BY A CHEF.
Two Fiahermen who Made a STAR
Ting Discovery.

writer in Forest and Stream tells
how he went trout fishing years ago in
California and there made a pleasant
discovery. After seeking long for trout
streams he and his companion came upon
a lone shanty, where a Frenchman was
swinging in hammock and smoking his
pipe. He was very much surprised
man, for, as he told them, no one had in
truded on his solitude for three months.
"Plenty of fish," he promised them,
and they betook themselves to the creek.
There they soon filed their baskets and
then, having dressed as many as two
hungry men could eat, adjourned to the
shanty.
On inquiring of our landlord il he had
such thing as frying pan he produced
one. and my friend, who prided himself
on being a camp expert, remarked: "Of
course this tramp doesn't know how to
cooh trout. I'll show him."
The tramp looked on, smoking his pipe,
but being rather the worse for our days

dip. When we returned to the house, we
were surprised at seeing little rude la

casters, china plates, white cloth and
napkins. Where they all came from was
a mystery, but they were there.
Now for the trout" said my friend.
"Ill show you how trout should be
cooked"
But then appeared our landlord, bear
ing platter filed with nicely Drowned
fish. 1t was followed by small cups OF
delicious black coffee. Then we rolled
up in our blankets and slept as only tired
hunters and fishermen can do. Our
breakfast was the supper repeated, with
an addition of fine white rolls.
We lost no time in refilling our baskets

would accept no pay, only few flies and
line aud a pocketbook. Then one OF
us said, with some patronage and de-
ire to please:

GODS CAPTURED IN BATTLE.



Mr.. CASTOR Maspero, the well known
French Psychologist, has recently writ
ten IN interesting article on the speak
ing statues" of ancient Egypt He says
the statues of some of the gods were
made of Joined parts and were supposed
to communicate with the faithful by
speech, signs and other movements They
were made of wood, painted or gilded.
Their hands could be raised and lowered
and their heads moved, but it is not
known whether their feet could be put in
motion. When one of the faithful asked
for advice, their god answered either by
signs or words. Occasionally long speech
es were made, and at other times the an
swer was simply an inclination of tho
head.
Every temple had priests whose spe-
cial duty it was to make these commune
cations. The priests did not make any
mystery of their part in the proceedings.
1t WINS believed that the priests were in
termediary between the gods and NOR
tails, and the priests themselves had a
very exalted idea of their calling. They
firmly believed that the souls OF divinities
inhabited the statues, and they always
approached them with religious fear and
reverence.
These priests would stand behind the
statues and move their heads or hands or
speak for them, never doubling that at
that moment their movements and words
were inspired by the divine spirit DWELL
ing in the statues. The statues were re-
gardcd as so very much alive that in war
they shared the fate of those people
whose deities they were. They were
taken prisoners. condemned to death or
given into slayery-in other words, plac-
ed in the temples Of the conquering. II
they were returned to their own temples,
they bore Inscriptions testifying to their
defeat and Imprisonment.

TWENTY-FIVE PAGES,
The Social Side.

~ T didn't take the society journals
long to put and one together and
get two for the answer. AS coon
as the formal reception in Washington
was finished, Admiral Dewey betook
himself to the residence of Mrs. Nc
Lean, on K street. The establishment
was at once turned over to the admiral,
the members of the Mclean household
betook themselves to their country
house.
The incident served two purposes. In
ssthe first place it impaired a dash of
Egaiety to current politics. Mrs. Nc
LEAN is the mother Of the democrat
who is running for governor in Ohio's
state election. The mere fact that
sDewey was a guest at the Mclean resi-
sdence was all that was needed by GER
tain politicians of sanguine tempera-
anent to sustain their rather hazy claim
that beyond a doubt the admiral is
democrat.
But there is more to it. A daughter
of Mrs. Mclean is the widow of Gen.
w. B. Hazen, whose death occurred a
dozen years ago. General Hazen was a
man of high repute. He ranked prom
finently among the soldiers who
fr1larched across Georgia with Sherman;
in later years he became widely known
as chief signal officer in the govern
ment.
OF course, it didn't take the gossips
any time at all to bring Candidate Nc
fLean and Admiral Dewey into brother
ir-law relationship; they have the
story well spread already that present
tly Dewey will marry the widow of Gen.
eral Hazen. Admiral Deweys wife died
ftwenty years ago. How the smart set
i'm Washington would relish Dewey
wedding!

Remember the Siam.

- T was the sad duty of General Otis
Il last Friday to report to the govern
ment at Washington the heaviest
loss of life on the American side that
has occurred since the Philippine war
began. The official dispatch reads:
Manila, Oct. G.--The steamer Siam,
(which left San Francisco Aug. Is with As
horses, 32S mules encountered typhoon
the 2lst ult. in northern Luzon in which
all but about l6 mules were lost. The an
finals were killed by pitching of the YES
sci and lack of air from the necessary
CLOSING of the matches. No casualties
among the passengers.
Others may remember the Maine IL
they please-Otis will remember the
siam. Otis had need of those mules in
his business: and in the hour of his
bereavement he has the sympathy of
the entire nation. On an occasion like
this all controversies and antagonists
are dropped, all collisions of opinion
concerning Philippine policies cease. all
criticism is put aside and all censure
hushed, while the seventy million

hind the gun is justly held in high es-
TEEN; but if the conditions are right,
the man behind the mule rises higher.
Three or four years ago an associated
press dispatch told the story of mule
in Kansas who kicked to death a man
who had just beaten his wife to cram
berry sauce. The Butte office OF the
Standard started subscription for
this poor but deserving mule--it was
proposed to buy him and bring him to
Butte, where he might pass the re-
mainder of his days in honor, comfort
and otium cum dignitate. The Stand
ards mule fund grew apace--it amount
ed in the end to upwards of $780, besides
a quantity of hay, oats and letters from
all parts of Montana and Idaho eulo-
CYSTIC of the Standards kindness
Of heart and nobility of soul.
1t is true that the mule got
left in Kansas, the members
of the Butte office taking the $50 and
blowing it in for beer and cigars; but
the intentions, Of the contributors were
good, and 50, we believe, were the beer
and cigars. This incident is cited sim
ply to show how valuable an animal the
mule can be made to be.
Many and widely divergent have been
the theories offered to account for Otis
failure to crush the rebellion last
spring. 1t has been generally UNDER
stood that he didn't have enough men,
but possibly Otis is right in his claim
that he didn't have enough mules. And
if that be true. the government should
make all possible haste to repair the
loss of the cargo of the Siam by dis
patching fresh transports Of mules to
the front Give Otis all the mules ne
wants and let them follow him, their
leader, resolute and intrepid jackass
that he is, to shining victory and inn
mortal fame.
