Oh cara Ward is peculiar in many ways.
In one moment she is to be heartily CON

little too far. Here is one time that a
t1tled nobleman of distinguished family

accumulation of a beautiful American
girl for a wife whose jackets were we'll
lined with a p%rofusion of American
ducats.
The social registers throughout all
Europe are loud in their condemnation
OF the actions of the Princess de Chimay.
They think that it is positively horribly
ing that an every day sort of an Ameri-
can girl should have the effrontery and
temerity to cast aside such a desirable
acquisition as a Belgian nobleman. They
all overlook the fact that at least Miss
Ward is an American girl and that if she
grows tired of her much advertised
spouse that was a matter entirely her
own.
1t is safe to say that had a woman of
his own country left his bed and board
in a furry, the chances are that the
broken-hearted Prince de Chimay would
have never been heard of in print, but the
fact that he had honored an American
girl with his title and land, and then she
had rNthlessly departed, and worse yet,
takes all her money with her, the strain
was too great and it is no wonder that

A SQUELCHER.

In the lower part in the upper penin-
sula in Michigan there is a family in
which the majority of the members are
veritablc giants. At their nearest town
there was a clothing store tina failed
last summer its stock of goods being
turned over to a Detroit firm in the course
of settlement. The head of this firm sent
his son to the town in question to dispose
Of the goods at retail. The son is a good
feeler, and put on a few extra fu1belows
in the little Northern village.
One Saturday afternoon there was a
rush to the slaughter sale,' the son,
"%little, but oh. my,' doing his best to
dazzle the pretty country girls who We're
assisting in the family purchases. When
a prospective customer, fully siX-feet-
six, built in proportion and with a voice
that shook things, came in, the son took
him in hand.

began the customer.
"Certainly," answered the son, glibly.

TO BEAT THE

Buffalo Express: The new safety paper
for. railway tickets, which will be used
by some of the largest companies at the
beginning of the year, is expected to prove
a harder blow to the dishonest ticket
scalper han any national or state anti
Understanding measure. The most in
genious wiles of the scalper will be of no
avail against this safety paper. In print
ing, style and form the new ticket will be
similar to that now in use, the only differ
ence being in the material upon which it
is printed. The new paper is the result of
years of experiments by railway ticket
printers, and it has been formally ap-
proved by the National Association of
General Passenger and Ticket Agents.
The manufacturers guarantee that this
paper will retain anything written on it
in ink until the last particle of the paper
is destroyed. If a knife eraser be used
upon it, the fact will at once be evident,
since the surface of the ticket will be de-
stroyed, showing the inside of the paper,
which will be of another color. The last
point, however, Is not Of SO much import
ance, since the knife eraser has already

I surely as any snake in the world. The

But they are not constructors The great
~hamadyad rears it's green length Of
active, two-fold, ferocious death in I'M
paralleled dreadfulness.
! Anant Ram threw up his arms over his
head as the double horror rushed kissing
at him; in a breath it's coils were around
him., it's fangs tearing his arms. He
lung himself down at the pain; and put
about by this sudden act, the snake
stopped biting a m to tighten it's
coils. Then it reared a quarter of it's
body above his head, and as quickly as
it could bend and strike bit him horribly
in the neck under the left ear. On the
instant it jerked out it's fangs with a
shrill whistle, and fell all slack about
him.; he had bitten clean through it's
back, and was tearing it's body asunder
with frenzied hands. He rose bleeding,
dusty. Wild-eyed and CHASTITY; staggered
to the cloth that hid his snake, and yelled
Quick! to the trail! All three of you!
Quick!''
The Lord of Devils' and his pupils
hustled round him; he whipped away the
cloth, and barred to their eyes a little,
crooked, ~gray-brown stick. They stared
at 1T, they stared at one another, and
slowly knowledge came to them. They
knew how Anant Ram had conquered the
hamadryad; that he had won the devils
to fight for him. They moved around the
little stick, with outstretched, twitching
hands, their starting eyes glued to it,
striving to beat down their dread, to
force themselves to touch it, to awake
it to malignant life. Slowly their dread
mastered them; their faces grew gray
and then green; one man gave back a
step, then another; one by one they tore
away their eyes from the dormant hor-
ror; glared at one another in the agony
of utter fear; turned with one accord,
and fled-1ed as men flee with the fear
of death at their backs, and the devils
of the lone night and the waste on their
heels. But Anan Ram lay, needless of
the screaming joy of the victorious Pan
jab, sucking the blood of the dead hama
dryad for dear life, while his pupils, in
fevered haste, piled him with remedy on
remedy. In the confusion Souter secured
yet more material to make surer his dis
coveries, and to render this mystery of
the East a working medicine against the
terror of the serpent. Anant Ram came
out of it alive, and rich; but he swears
that in winning his great fight he lost the
secret of ages. He breads Souter as he
breads nothing else; and to him alone
will he reveal the mysteries of his craft.

Clara Ward Of Detroit, Mich, better
known as the Princess de Chimay, is
engaged in a new effort to make herself
more notorious than ever. Since her
elopement with the gypsy fiddler, janet
Rigo, she has constantly s~candalized her
family, friends and country and now she
evidently wishes some new method of
advertising her shame and shape.
According to the latest gossip she will
appear in an opera written by Auber for
a former Princess de Chinlay, whose
character was but little better thar her
name. AS in most of her public exhibit
tions she will simulate nudity. at least
she intends to if the police do not inter
fere.
This opera was the first apo by
the great Auber, author of Era Diav-
olo," Manor Lescant" and many other
equally famous works. 1t has been gem
orally forgotten. It was entitled by the
author Jean de Convecin" but the title
has been changed by the present princess
to lie Sire de Chimay" in order to aid
in casting as much disgrace as possible
on her husbands name. Auber composed
the opera for that Princess de Chimay
who was most famous as Nine. Tallien.
1t is an interesting coincidence that two
princes of the illuStriOus house of Chimay
lave married women of notorious repu-
tations who have had associations with
the stage.
Nine. Tallien was Theresa de Cabarrus,
daughter of the Comte de Cabarrus. She
was born in 1878 and was married at an
early age to the Marquis de Fontenay.
She obtained a divorce from hin in 1898
and in the same year she married Tallien
who was a prominent figure during the
French revolution. She exercised a pro-
found influence over him as a member
of the convention. Napoleon had a re-
gard for her which was something more
than friendly. In 1902 she obtained a
divorce from Tallien and in 1906 she mar
ried the Comte de Caraman who subse-
quently became Prince de Chimay.
The Princess de Chimay was famous
for her charity and was called "Notre
Dame de Bon Secours." She welcomed

been guarded against by the use of two
color tickets, with surface and inside OF
different shades.
Ihe new paper was specially invented
to defeat the ,scalper's acids. When the
dishonest broker wants to change a name
or date on a ticket he uses acids which
completely obllterate the original writing
ana leave the surface of the ticket ready
Tor the insertion of the new name or date,
Scalpers have gone so far in this direc-
ton as to change the color of the entire
ticket. leaving only the necessary print
ing intact.
The new safety paper is said to be abb
s%olutely proof against the use of any
acids. This condition has been reached
by The use Of certain acids in the manu-
%facture of the paper, which will counter
act any which may afterward be used
upon 1T. If acid is used to alter a name or
date on a ticket printed on the safety pa
per, the only effect will be to drive the
original writing through the ticket,
bringing it plainly to the surface on the
opposite side. The acids used in making
the paper are said to be strong enough to
counteract any watch the most expert
scalper might employ.
1he new safety paper will be used at
first chiefly for the printing of through
tickets reading over two or more lines,
which seem to have been the kind of tick
cts most in favor with the scalping fra
ternity. The most skilful and varied in
genuity has been shown in the manipu-
lation of these tickets. During two or
three big society gatherings held in Chi
cago last summer the railways discovered
a number of return portions of tickets
upon which the office stamp, dating
stamp and the autograph signature
stamp of the joint agent had all been
forged. With the new safety paper in

at her husbands palace all sorts of Bo-
hemians, men whom she had known in
her days of adversely, struggling young
authors, actors and artists. Among them
was Auber, the composer. He was born
in 1882 and was only in his teens when
ne attracted the attention of the Princess
de Chimay. There was a private theater
attached to the palace of Chimay, and
mere the Auber opera was produced. The
book was written by lie MERCER, who
selected for his subject an old legend of
the Chimay family which is one Of the
most distinguished in Belgium.
The story of the opera is that the Sire
de Chimay, exhausted after the hunt, fell
asleep and was imprisoned by the wicked
Sire de Convecin in the dungeon Of his
castle. Fol seven years he was mourned
as dead by his wife. He was rescued
only when a PEASANTS arrow fell near to
a narrow window that admitted air to the
prisoners cell. When he went to reach
for it the peasant heard a voice saying
II am the Sire de Chimay." The peasant
listened to he prisoners story, and the
wife rescued her lord and cast aside her
widows weeds.
