When il Is considered that The Princess

stage Saturday at WHkesbarre. and taat

charity in predicting success for the offer

the piece which are mainly in its book
may be remedisd without much difficulty.

GIVING A MAN A CHANCE
1t Sometimes Proves to BE the Maxi
Ing of Him, as In This
Instance.

A commanding officer who has stud
led human nature, he states, will o.
OCCASIONALLY make a brilliant hit when
he gives a man what is called a
chance" says the Culver. The follow
ing illustrative case was told to me by
the colonel who tried the experiment.
One day, when out for a walk, he met
man of his regiment who was only too
well known to him on account of his
frequent appearance in the orderly
room.
My friend stopped him and said:
You're fine man, six feet three in
height, and yet don't you think that
you are making precious ass ofyour-
self with SO 'drunks' in your defaulter
sheet? Suppose, now, that were to
put a lance corporaPs stripe on your
arm tomorrow; how would it be?"
The man was so surprised and de-
lighted that he took the total absti-
nence pledge and never drank any
more intoxicating liquor. Four years
afterward he married and the colonel
attended the marriage feast. The bride
groom took his commanding officer
aside and said to him, as he pointed to
the different kinds of liquor that were
on the table: You see all that, sir?
Well, l have not tasted drop even to-
day, and won't, for if l did l must get
drunk"

THOUGHT LONGFELLOW LIVING
The Heirs bi Indian Who Narrated
"Biawntha" visit Poets
Widow.

Kaboosa and Waban-nosa, Two de-
scendants of Chief Bugwajjine, of the
Oiibway Indians, visited Mrs. Henry
Wadsworth LongfellOw and her two
daughters the other day at the poets
old home in Cambridge.
Some weeks ago the aged chief, who
told Longfellow the legend of Hia-
watha and who regarded the poet as
his intimate friend, made arrange
ments to come from his bone on the
northern shore of Lake Superior to
Boston to visit him, but just before
he was to start he en1oined his grand
son and nephew to make the visit for
him, and they accordingly started. 1t
was not until they reached Boston by
way of Montreal that they learned
that Longfellow was dead, and their
grief was marked.
In company with Francis West, the
artist, they drove to Cambridge and
were warmly received. They asked
to sit at the desk where "Hiawatha"
was written, and when they left they
invited Mrs. Longfellow and her
daughters to visit the tribe.

FINDS A WORLD OF EYES.
Plans Of a Connecticut Man to ES-
tnblish Garden of Eden Attracts
Many Women.

Evans Weed, of Newfeld, Conn.,,
who plans to transform his farm into
q Garden Of Eden. has sprung into
popularity in day with many men,
bers of the fair sex who want to wed.
Mr.. Weed was a little fearful that aft
er his Garden of Eden had been COM
pleted there would be no Eve to grace
it, but his doubts are now at rest
upon the point. He never dreamed
that Eve was such a common name
among women, but every mail brings
further evidence.
Letters addressed to Mr.. Weed in
feminine handwriting have been pour
ing into the post Office at Stanford in
every mail for the last few days. One
letter was addressed: "Mr. Adam
Weed, formerly Evans Weed, Garden
Of Eden, Stanford Conn"
Another was addressed "II Adam,
Garden of Eden, from Eve" This let
ter was dated Van Cure Station, Va.

TOO MANY RATS
They Ran over Her Bed in a Happy
Manner All Night in Central
Africa.

At Kawimbe the rats in the house
were terrible at night, says "A White
Woman in Central Africa" They
raced about my room and scampered
over my bed in a thoroughly happy
manner. l could not sleep at first;
but at last l got used to them. l
dropped off, only to wake up and find
a rat with his foot in my ear.
One night at another station, some
thing larger than a rat dropped from
the rafters on my bed and awoke Inc.
1 lighted a candle and saw it was
a lemur. They are lovely little ami
mails, and are covered with thick fur,
like chinchilla, and have beautiful
large round eyes.
1t looked most fascinating but, not
being sure what it would do next, l
thought 1 would try to send it out.
l opened the door which led onto the
veranda, and proceeded gently to
drive it out; but alas! it objected to
going, and sprang straight on to my
shoulder, gripping my arm with its
sharp little teeth. and refusing to let
go till l we'll pinched it's tail. AS 1t
turned round to bite my hand
tossed it out onto the veranda and
shut the door.

Epcournrinr the Bidders.

A Dutch auction at Cape Town IL
frequently exciting. If house 10 70
be sold the auctiGneer offers $50 gold
en- sovereigns for the man who first
bids R5,OO0." Nobody bids. A pause,
and then: Fifty golden sovereigns
for the man who first bids $4,000"
This is kept up until bid is secured
But it by no means follows that the
mouse is sold to this bidder. No,
the auctioneer is then at 1t again.
Say that e4,4OO is the first bid. The
auctioneer cries: There are rs gold
en- sovereigns for the first man who
has the courage to bid e4,6OO." Per-
haps no one has it. Then e25 is Of
fere for a e4,55O bid. If there is
eventually no bid above the a4,4OO
the man who made that bid is saddled
with the house. Otherwise he pockets
his bonus and gets off free of 1t all.
