THE LAKEWOOD SEASON.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gould Will Soon Open
Their Private Casino.
ence Of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
LAKEWOOD. N. j., December IA. 1899,
Since the crowds and the rush Of social
and sporting events, which characterized
Thanksgiving week, Lakewood has resum-
ed it's wonted quiet, and though the resort
is still well filled, there seems to be very
general disposition to rest little before
the coming of similar activities for the
Yuletide festivities.
The golf club of Lakewood, which scored
a perfect success in its Thanksgiving tour
nament, has only its regular Saturday
handicap for a prize fixture, though the
links are daily patronized by members and
their friends in informal competition The
Country Club Of Lakewood, another fash
ionable sporting resort has not yet an
nounced anything in the line of regular
golf events, but there also family parties
and friendly circles enjoy daily play, which
is pleasantly concluded with o'clock tea,
served in the handsome rooms as the golf
ers come in from out the dusk. A hve-oird
shoot at the traps of this club is an event
set down for Saturday morning, which VIII
doubtless have, as last year, attractions
for many visiting wing shots.
Next week the new casino, which mas
been building for the past year at Geor-
gtan Court, the lake drive estate of Geo.
J. Gould, will be opened to most OF the
personal friends of Mr. and Mrs. Gould,
The big mansion will be filled, as well as
the twenty-five or more flne rooms which
the casino itself accommodates, Whlle up

WHEN A LIE WOULD HAVE

After the young man had patted his
eye with cold water for half an hour
and then fitted beefsteak cushion

mo, but it came from that Internal

That's right. Always told you So"
Il know you did. One of the
strangers there was telling an expert

they were all chatting him he turned

MONKEYS HARD TO TEACH.

An experienced animal trainer says:
las rule monkeys are readily trained,
but occasionally there is one, as in the
human species, who is a Ounce and
won't learn anything, is positively stu
pid and refuses persistently to become
educated. The trouble in teaching
monkeys is largely that they are mis-
chieVous. They try to overdo things,
and do things which are not wanted Of
them; so that in order to make them
them; so that in order to make them
perform as desired steady drilling is
necessary, although they grasp an idea
quickly. The only two species of ami
mails which can be taught by precept
and example are the chimpanzee and
the orang-outang. They are imitators,
and to instruct them in doing a thing
it is only necessary for the trainer to
do it first himself and then either one
of these will initiate him."

There is man out Columbia

she shall not take on any OF the sum-
mer girls ridiculous fads. One of them.
as perhaps you have heard, though

it's a fad no man cares to see his

PLEA FOR A NEW SONG.

Avaunt! We tiresome bards who sing
OF the budding flowers and breath of
spring,
OF the hackneyed, threadbare themes
of love,
Your lady's wavy locks of gold,
Or dainty fan or shapely glove
Avaunt! The tale is trite and old.
Be We men and waste your fancies rare
On the tangled tufts of a woman s
hair?
Be We sons of Eve and spend your
brain
Singing the light of woman's eyes?
Ere the wind has snatched the loving
strain,
Ere the song has hushed the. love-
light dies.
Sing me a song OF work and strife,
OF the man who shouldered his way
thro's life,
Leaving the primrose path to fools;
Who gained the skies from the yul-
gar sod
With aught save natures sturdy tool;
All. there's a man for the smile Of
God!

APPENDICITIS AFFLICTS CATS.
San Francisco Animal Submits to. the
Knife Without Resistance

Maltese cats are in large demand In
business houses not only because of
their beauty, but because they have
proved themselves to be fine hunters
One of the handsomest of these Is
Tom, magnificent fellow belonging
to a wholesale grocer in lower Cali
fornia street. or perhaps it would be
more correct to say that the cat owns
the establishment. He spends his
nights il useful labor and is some-
times for a considerable period found
regularly each morning with a big
dead rat by his side, for like most Of
the genuinely capable of his kind, he
disdains to eat his game. During the
day he has appropriated to his own
use a nicely finished mail tray on the
Office desk, and when the weather is
cool big nickle lamp standing beside
the tray is kept burning for his es-
pecial benefit A fit of indigestion very
nearly carried him off one day and 1t
became necessary to perform a surgi-
cal operation to save the noble fell
lows life He seemed to know that
the veterinary surgeons lancet was
unsheathed for his good and bore the
pain like stole and without re-
sistance.
Vying with Tom in beauty and in
telligence and his almost exact coun-
terpart in size and appearance Is Joe,
a splendid maltese of Petaluma birth,
belonging to wholesale boot and
shoe house on the corner of Second
and Stevenson streets. Eyes of am
Der, coat of silky blue-gray, sinewy
frame and leonine rather than tigerish
face, Joe is a magnificent specimen Of
cathood. He not only answers to his
name, but understands and will obey
simple directions issued by his master,
jumping on desk or chair at his bid
ding or playing with a cord strung
across the entrance in the Office rail.
An instance of cat devotion of an
extraordinary sort is found in whole
sale establishment on the east
side of Front street, near California.
Here Is a wee motherless gray kitten,
so small that it can sit comfortably
on ones hand In the store are FIVE
grown cats-common cats of no pedi-
gree, toms and tabbies-and this
elder band has assumed maternal care
of the fororn little orphan. They
watch it vigllantly. seeming particu-
larly apprehensive lest it stray out up
on the street, and whenever one of
them perceives him too near the open
doors the older fellow walks over to
the kitten, picks it up in its mouth
and gravely carries it back and de-
poslts 1t in the rear of the store.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

CHAMPION IN SPELLING.
Judge Kelly Of st. Joseph, Mo-, Never
Misses a Word.

Lots of people can spell. Others
think they can, but here is man who
is the champion of the United States.
He is Judge Henry S. Kelly of st.
Joseph, Mo.
When his law books were being put
in type at the old st. Joseph Steam
Printing Company the printers watch
ed his copy day after day, striving to
discover mistakes in photography, as
1t was whispered around the Office that
the judge would pay $40 for every
mistake of that kind the printers could
find. Every man would bring his
dictionary around when the judges
copy came in, but never a mistake did
they find. Three law books without
one mistake in spelling is a rarity, in
fact it is unique, but the judge can
spell any word in the English Ian
guage.
The is in the ibles and the as in the
ables never bothered him in the least
and az for tetradocty's and dinosaurs
and ali the queer names modern
science has adder TO our vocabulary,
they we're simply monosyllables for
his honor.
Spesing is an education OF the eye
more tAan the eat. II is the ability
to know whether a word looks right.

WANTS HERoINEs WELL FED.
Protest Against Authors Treatment Of
Women Characters.

Why are the heroines in novels not
permitted to eat hearty food? Why
does beauty, both"in joy and in dis
tress, starve through the pages of
romance? Men eat in all the novels,
but in many works Of fiction the poor
girl never gets anything in the way Of
solid nourshment. She goes through
the most trying scenes and narrowing
experiences, so far as the novels dis
close, on diet that would not sus-
tain a bird. When the novelist does
permit his heroine to stay the sense
of hunger II is usually on viands Of a
most delicate nature, and many fic-
titious young women have gone
through 100 pages on the rose leaves
they nibbled in the first chapters.
Perhaps the idea seems to be that TO
disclose the heroine enjoying the
pleasures OF the table would detract
from the air OF refinement or the artis-
tic deicacy Of the picture It really
does seem as II the author fears that
the love Of the hero would wane
should he behold the object Of his adj
miration placing roast beef between
her lips and see her charming face

A PASSING THOUGHT.

If all who spend their time in grum-
bling
About their griefs and pains and cares,
And all who squander time in num-
bling
Conflicting, inconsistent prayers,
And all who waste their time in jeering
At others plans, unknown, or sneering
At others hopes, uncomprehended,
Would spend their leisure hours in
scanning
The book of human life and planning
How all mankind may well escape
From man-made ills in every shape,
How draw from life its base alloy,
Life would become dream of Joy
From birth until the hour it ended.

down as concrete fact that men, in
