The Idahos Honored.


|heen honored by the selection
Of four companies of the regi
ment to participate in the
most daring expedition of the
Philippine war.
The Sunday morning dis
matches informed us that Gen
eral Lawton had to take San.
la Cruz and sweep the coun-
trv- to the southwark. For
This service he selected Gener.
al KING as his second in com.
Inland. The expedition is com
posed of 1900 picked men.
There are eight companies of
1.-The Fourteenth infantry, three
of the Fourth cavalry, four of
1.-THE North Dakota volunteers
land four of the Idaho regi-
ment. In addition there are
200 sharpshooters from the di-
vision.
To appreciate the signiti-
canoe of the selection it is nee
essary to examine the map and
see the nature of the under
taking. The. command is to
go by water some IS or 80
miles, where it will attack and
capture a town. 1t will then
march into the country and
sweep the rebels before it 1t
will be entirely cut off from
the remainder of the army
and will have to depend upon
its own resources, excepting
as the gunboats may be able
to lend assistance.
General Lawton is daring
fighter and the expedition is
characteristic of him. He
will execute a plan that will
be one of the great movements
Of modern military annals.
When he wanted a second in
command he selected General
King, whose fearlessness and
resourcefulness have been SO
well demonstrated. In the Sc
lection of the men to compose
the expedition, we may under.
stand that care was taken to
pick out the best that the di.
vision afforded. The Four.
tenth is famous and its fight.
ing qualities are familiar to
Lawton. So he took eight
companies from the regiment
with three troops from the
Fourth cavalry. The rest O
the force was selected from
the volunteers. 1t is probable
that the selecting of the Ida
hos is to be credired to Gener
al King, who witnessed thei
splendid fighting at Santa Ana
The ldahos are not in King

men upon whom he could re

This confirmation should give Nal

many other dramas.
Mrs. Craigie began playwriting
some years ago and won success
from the start. The last two years she
has devoted herself to it entirely, and
has now reached that delightful stage
of writer's career when everything
she writes is engaged before it leaves
her pen.
Thirty-two years ago there played in
Boston little girl, Pearl Mary Theresa
Richards, tall progressive little girl,
who could be very serious at the slight
est appeal to her imagination. Her
pastimes were dolls and stage, also a
whole lot of writing materials.

abroad for education, and on one of her
visits she married Reginald Walpole

Forli.
1t is, as you know, gentle cousin, six years
since my lord, having lost his sword darn
at the storming of Santa Croce, retired to
his castle of Aquila in the Sabine mountains
and ceased to help further in stirring the
times. In truth, he has yielded to my wish
in this matter, and although, in the war
of the Holy League, he was offered com.

MRS PEARL RICHARDS CRAIGIE.
(Better Known as John Oliver Hobbes y
known man of letters to-day. Yes, she
would follow in their footsteps. For a
while her mind turned toward religion,
during which she became converted to
the Roman Catholic faith; but her love
for the drama asserted itself, and she
began playwriting as profession.
Within two years she had written three
plays, all of'which were successes.
Mrs. Craigie is a slender woman, not
very tall, but very well built. Her face,
eyes and hair are dark, and she has a
wonderful sort of personal magnetism
which her friends believe would have
served her we'll had she gone on the
stage.
Mrs. Craigie has the singular habit of
concentration, a rare gift to-day. When
she is about to write she sits long hours
and thinks about her plot. It's char
acters become human beings to her;
the scenes real places. To secure per-
feet quiet she goes in a convent, where
she engages room for meditation and
remains there as long as it pleases her
to do so. She cannot work where there
is noise and liability to interruption,
and for that reason she goes to the con-
vent to think and write if only for day
at a time. Her best scenes, the most
worldly, sharpest lines in her plays are
written from the walls of the convent
Mrs. Craigie has only just begun her
work, she believes. She wants to write
a comedy, a tragedy, another society
play and several curtain raisers in the
near future. She has contracted for
each one of these. She writes, when
once she puts pen to paper, very rapid
~. and without erasure. She does her
thinking from beginning to end before
she begins, and when her thoughts are
completed she writes.
Her library is magnificent thing, on
the first floor of the great mansion. Her
fathers book shelves line the room, and
there are exquisite pieces of statuary,
wonderful first editions On the shelves,
rarest objects of bric-a-brac from India
and rugs from Belochistan. It is the
ideal writing spot. Mrs. Craigie's boy
is an active little lad of eight years,
whose instruction is left to governess
and tutor. He has a nurse and maid
who care for him when his mother is
busy. Mrs. Craigie does not like to
leave her boy too much to hirelings, and
in spite of her work she manages to Sc
with him great deal. When putting
on new play her hours are very irregu-
lar. The rehearsals begin at IL o'clock
midnight. and last until two in tie
morning.

Care of Summer Table Linen.

This is the hardest season of the
year for table linen because it is the
fruit season. No summer table is COM
plete without it's compete of delicacies,
yet the ugly stains which they make
are the bane of every careful house
wife. To remove stains from table
linen put the article over large basin
and pour very hot water over the spot
from distance until it disappears.
Soak few minutes in clear water, then
put in a boiler with fne!y-cut turpen-
tine soap and cold water. Let the
linen scald for half an hour, take out
and rinse in deep blue water, not so
blue, however, that the article will aft
erward have a dingy cast. Iron when
partly dry and unless the damask is
of very light weight never use starch.
The table should be changed through
out at least once day.

A Luck.KisS.

Probably no class of workers are
firmer believers in luck signs than the
cab drivers, who stand O. nights at
PROMINENT street corners waiting for
calls to duty. About dozen of them
were gathered with their vehicles at
Broad and Chestnut streets the other
night when the discussion turned upon
the prevailing dull business. what else
could be expected of Friday night ?"
asked one of the cabbies. Just then q
colored lad of about five years of age,
with very black face, shiny eyes and
bare legs, sauntered along, having
given up hope of selling the few papers
he still carried under his arm. "Just
for luck" called out one Of the cabmen,
as he lifted the boy in his arms and
planted a smacking kiss on his lips.
Then he passed the tot to another jehu,
who also kissed the pickaninny. Be.
fore the youngster had fairly recovered
from his surprise he had been kissed by
every cabman. Then he was allowed
to go on his way. In speaking of the
incident afterward, one of the cabmen
stated that he and all his companions
enjoyed the biggest nights business
known for months, after they had
