A Leader of Men.

1t was claimed in his behalf that he
could lead a body of men more sue
cessfully against hostile natives than
any other man in the Transvaal. He
came to be so feared by the natives
that the knowledge that he was at the
head of punitive expedition usually
resulted in their surrender. 1t was
during these wars with the natives
that Joubert became acquainted with
Paul Kruger and the two men became
bosom friends. He was elected vice
president of the Transvaal In 1896, de-
feated Sir George Colley at Majuba
hill in 1881, and acted as president Of
the republic in 1SS3-S4, during Kru-
gers absence in Europe.
Force Rather Than Diplomacy.
General Joubert was always in ia
vor of the use of force instead of
diplomacy, and President Kruger on
several occasions had great difficulty
in REFRESHING his hOt-headed col
leagues, notably, in 1870, when JOu-
bert, with Kruger and Pretorius was
planning the rebellion to overthrow
British rule in the Transvaal. The
result was Majuba hill and the practl-
cal independence Of the Transvaal.
When the Jameson raiders were
locked up In Pretoria Jail JOubert was
strongly In favor of their immediate
execution. 1t was not until Joubert
and Kruger had been closeted togeth-
er for a whole night that the more
merciful counsels Of Kruger prevailed.

THE DOUGLAS SHOE,

The best advertised and consequently the
hest known shoe in the world today is un-
doubtedly made by the w. l.. Douglas Shoe
Co.. OF Rloclton, Mass. The one idea Of this
company has always been to sell shoe for
$3.50 which equals in every way the IS shoes
OF any other concern. They are able to do
this on account Of there being no middle
mans profit, as the good, arc sold direct
from the factory to the wearcr IN 90 OF the
principal cite, ct the country they have their
own retail stores The goods are made in
all sizes ard widths, and lew shoes equal
them for style and durability.

hands, and all labor troubles are settled 10y

another Extensive Addition
BEING MADE TO THE INDIANA
MINERAL SPRINGS HOTEL
AT AN OUTLAY OF $4,000
Growth of Enterprise Representing
Expenditure OF $3.50. 600 Successful
Management OF II, L. Kramer.

Ten years ago the ground where the
magnificent hotel property of the lndi-
ana Mineral Springs Company is To-
Gated, was wholly unimproyed and al
most wilderness. Now, ewing to the
discovery of the valuable medicinal
qualities of the springs and the healing
virtue Of the soil itself, together with
the enterprise Of Major II. l.. Kramer,
there is located there one of the finest
sanitariums in the United States. the
natural picturesque surroundings have
been made more attractive and the no.
tel Is a model Of comfort and elegance.
For the greater accommodation OF
guests who come in constantly increas-
ing numbers from every section Of the
United states, arrangements have now
been made for the enlargement OF the
hotel buildings. The contract was let
yesterday by Major Kramer for addi-
lions that will cause an outlay of over
$4,000. The addition Will be two
stories in height and Will occupy a
ground space S0X16O feet 1t provides
forty additional guest chambers. The
entire addition will be handsomely
and elegantly furnished The bath
house. when completed will be the
finest in the United States
Besides the bath house and the guest
chambers there will be on the first
floor a dining hall, a music room, a
billiard hall physicians offices ana a
barber shop. In connection with the
bath house there will be ladies' and
gentlemen's dressing rooms and cool
ing rooms The dressing and cooling
rooms will be deliberately decorated
and the floors will be laid in white tile,
In both cooling rooms will be built
large ornamental FIRE places which viii
be used for heating purposes in addi-
ton to the regular steam heating. The
work will be entirely completed in 80
days.
The improvements and the entire
arrangements of the hotel and grounds
are made, keeping in view the artistic
effect of the whole, and when the inn
provements arranged for are completed
the hotel and surroundings will be
much more attractive than before.
Major Kramer states that a still fur
ther addition to the hotel is contem-
plated, and that plans are now being
prepared for an additional structure to
contain $50 rooms for guests.
The location of this noted sani-
tarium near Attica, Indiana, 100 miles
| south of Chicago, on the line OF the
| Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad
and main line of the Wabash railroad
make it easy of access from all parts
! of the country. The celebrated magno
mud baths given here, together with
the undoubted virtues of the lithia
spring water have made the place ia
nous from Maine to California.
Already a quarter of million dol
lars has been expended on the Indiana
Mineral Springs enterprise and under
| the present management greater
growth and development in the future
| is assured.-Att.ca, Indiana, Daily
! Ledger.

ONE THOUSAND TEAPOTS.
The Large Collection Made by an Eng
lish Woman.

Any one in want Of teapots should
go to Japan. An Englis: hwoman, an
artist. during a sojourn in that coun-
try, made a collection of more than a
thousand specimens, no two Of them
alike and the collection is valued at
S.. 600.
Some Of the teapots are real curiosi-
ties. One large caldron-like affair
holds three gallons, while at least a
dozen specimens are so small that a
thimbleful would cause them 70 over
flow.
There are pots in the shape OF birds,
beasts and fowls. Fishes and frogs
have lent their forms to some, and
there is a beetle 10 be seen in the col
lection, as well as a fat, squirming eel
Buddah himself has been pressed into
service as a model. Swans. correct to
the last curl Of neck and feathers, form
teapots so small that they can be hid
den in the palm OF the hand. There
are lotus-bud pots, and others in the
form Of a tea house.
All materials are included in the coll
lection. Iulaid silver, hammered cop
per, iron exquisitely wrought, and all
the different kinds OF japanese pottery
have been used in the manufacture Of
teapots Several specimens cost 800
each. but soc heap is artistic handi-
work in the east that many Of the
others were bought for a few cents.

MARRIAGEABLE AGE FOR MEN.
Not Until They Have PASSED. Twenty
five Should They Take Wife.

Edward Box, writing in the Ladies'
Home Journal, on "A Boy for a Hus-
band contends that nc young man
under twenty-five years of age is in any
sense competent to take unto himself a
wife. Before that age he is simply a
boy who has absolutely nothing which
he can offer TO a girl as safe founda-
ton for life-happiness. He is un-
formed in his character, unsettled in
his ideas, absolutely ignorant of the
first essentials of what consideration or
love for a woman means. He doesn't
know himself, let alone knowing a
woman He is full of fancies, and it
is his bOyish nature to fit from one
fancy TO another. He is incapable Of
the affection upon which love is based,
because he has not lived long enough
to know what the feeling or even the
word means He is full of theories,
each one Of which, when he comes TO
pu. 10 into practice, will fail. He is a
boy pure and simple, passing through
that trying period through which
every boy must pass before he becomes
q man. But that period is not the
marrying time. For as his opinions Of
lite are TO change, so are his fancles
o, the girl he esteems as the only girl
Ih Die world to make him happy. The
man Of thirty rarely weds the girl

Little Bilee." the young chimpanzee
Who made his advent at the Zoo early in
the season, has SO far enjoyed the best of
health, despite his natural frailty Of con-
stitution. and the great number of visitors
whom he is called on to entertain. Although
his social duties are exacting. he eats and
sleeps with religious regularity. On rising
in the morning he breakfasts much after the
fashion of many another infant, being fed
with suitable food and milk. varied occas-
ionally with oatmeal His midday meal is
more substantial consisting Of bread or
crackers, as we'll as milk, and a melon for
Gesert. 'Billee" Is a strict vegetarian. He
Will not eat meat Of any sort. His growth
is as rapid as can be expected when one
remembers that a chimpanzee requires some
eighteen or twenty years to reach maturity,
and he has the satisfaction of being one Of
the most admired creatures in the Zoo. In
the twilight hours. when the last visitor
has left the gardens. Billee sups on cakes
