Country Inns WIN BE Popular.

A girl who is making a venture in
the right direction is one who pro-
poses opening an old-fashioned coun-
try inn in popular mountain district.
81 am sure she says, that the auto
mobile will create a demand for such
places. People will begin to travel as
they used to do in the days of the
stage coach, and, of course, they will
need places at which to stop for the
night. They will not care about going
to regular hotels, even if such places
were to be found in the country. So
l am going to make my place as much
as possible like the inns we read about
in old novels and run across once in
a great while when travelling in Eng
land. am going to have old-fash-
Toned high bedsteads, with dimity val
ances, etc.. but I'm going to be sure
that they are comfortable, even if l
have to put in wire springs; and my
floors will be sanded and rush COW
cred. and the ehimneys will have great
open fireplaces in which there will be
big, roaring fires. Mary my word for
it, the automobile will open a new field
for women-real, womanly women,
who know how to raise poultry, keep a
good table and an immaculate house. "

Costly Mansion.
An Alaskan hut Is not the worst
place in the world-far from it. Its
interior consists of a square floor of
earth Ranked ON all sides by two wide
lodges rising one above the other like
terrace. On the lower one rests the
cooking, weaving and fishing utensils,
the knives and needles, pots and pans
On the upper ledge, with much display
OF wonderfully woven blankets, are the
beds. In the center of the room CLOVIS
the fire, the smoke cropping its way out
of hole in the roof After the days
work is done and the stomachs of both
people and dogs are full the family
gathers around the fire. Facing the
door sits the father, next to him the
mother; on one hand the sons, and on
the other the daughters; even to the
third and fourth generation, it may be.
Beyond these are the servants or
slaves. Each has his place, and takes
it as matter of course. Without, in
the darkness, the dogs clutter about
the door and howl The mysterious
and implacable sea keeps up it's thun-
der. The snow-clad mountains, with
their illimitable glaciers. lie just be-
yond. The shafts of the northern lights
dart through the sky like the harpoons
of Titan, with incredible celebrity. L.

strange, broken, yet rhythmical meas
ures, the dogs howl louder than be-
fore, and the women sway their squat
bodies back and forth increasingly,
keeping their hands occupied mean
while at their tasks of weaving or
braiding. The men carve their spoons
or cut curious figures from the black
slate. The sutton for the hand of one
of the daughters enters slyly and takes
a seat with the sons. No protest is
made The father and mother go on
with their little tasks, the young girls
giggle after the fashion of girls the
world over. The Oldest among them
chants some old folk song, and the
father rises. 1t is the signal for good
nights. The ashes are spread over the
fire, and by the light of few fishes

Tigers Alarmed at sight of Man.

A cheerful place is Soraponjee in In
dia. The rainfall there often is as
great in one afternoon in the rainy
season as it is in New York state in a
whole year, and tigers and leopards
are as plentiful as dogs are on New
York's east side. On account of the
tremendous dampness the cattle have
to be driven to the top of the hills, so
that they shall not get their feet too
wet and the tigers and leopards climb
to these high attitudes also, because
they are imbued with the kindly de-
sire to save those cattle from pneumo-
MIA and other ills by eating them care
fully and with due enjoyment. AS
there are no forests on the hills, the
tigers prowl about all night in the
open, lying concealed during the day
in the limestone caves, the coal pits
and between the crevices of the rocks.
The residents come upon them in all
manner of odd hooks and corners so
Unexpectedly that the beasts are as
much alarmed as themselves, and
usually scamper off in one direction,
their disturbers flying in the opposite
one. No one stirs out at night time
without a powerful lantern or torch,
for, as rule, wild beasts will not
come near light, though this rule
does not hold good in all cases.

Mexleo.s Gambling Monopolr.

Don Felipe Martel, the famous gam
bling house proprietor of the City Of
Mexico, had made fortune in the bust
ness before the government decided to
abolish gambling houses by Ievying on
them a license tax of 81, 900 day. One
by one the gambling houses closed,
and when the field was clear Don Fe-
lipe Martel approached the authorities
with 81 900 in cash and demanded a
days license. In a few hours his place
was thronged At a single stroke he
had won the patronage of Mexico and
his doors have never been closed since.
The daily outlay of $1,000 is not missed
from the daily revenue of thousands.

A BRAVE SOLDIER.

Word has come from the Philippines
of the death by drowning Of brave
soldier in the person of Capt. Maxi
milan Luna, who persisted with three
other soldiers in crossing river.
Capt. Luna was one of that gallant
band of Rough Riders who stormed
San Juan hill and was one of the
right-hand men of Col. Roosevelt in
the Santiago campaign. He was of
Spanish descent, his father being a
full-blooded Spaniard, but that did not
deter him from taking sides with this
country in the war with Spain. Capt
Luna enlisted in the New Mexico Ma
tional Guard when little more than
youth. Never a drawer officer drew
sword or led a troop. He was in all
the engagements of the Rough Riders,
and although always in the fore front
of battle escaped without a scratch.
He was mustered out of the service at
Montauk Point and returned to his
home in New Mexico. His soldierly
spirit asserted itself when there was
need of brave men in the Philippines

Miller is described as Napoleonic in

displeased with conditions or persons.
1t is believed he and Leslie have at
least S500,000 as the result of their
knayery in this deal. In every instance
Miller paid the 10 per cent a week on
deposits, just as he agreed, and never
failed to return the principal when he
was asked to do so. He simply paid
the interest out of the deposits which
poured in upon him, and so long as
these deposits came in sufficient guam
titles he would have been able 20 do
this and still retain large amounts.
