SHOCKED BY A PRETTY MODEL.
But the Girl with Blonde Hair is the
Artists Wife

A certain studio in the Chicago fine
arts building was the scene of little
comedy the other day that might have
| furnished the motive for a Ledgerer
French farce. 1t is a charmingly
artistic affair, with just enough
Bohemianism about it to make one
cate! ones breath and wonder what's
coming .ext.
The elderly woman with the gray
feather boa and steady smile opened
the door without knocking, and walked
res lutely in, with a goodly bunch Of
charity bazaar tickets in one hand and
flood of persuasive eloquence at her
| tongues end. And then she caught
sight of the startling tableau, and stop
ped short
The lord and master Of the studio
was perched easily on Turkish in
laid table, cigaret in one hand and
the other perilously near the glossy
blonde hair on an extremely pretty
head that was upturned lovingly to
him.
The elderly woman did not gasp, but
she set her teeth hard and forgot the
charity bazaar over this moral prob
| lem She had heard of those awful
studios, but this was too much. No,
she said firmly in response to polite
query from the artist, she did not de-
sire anything. She would not disturb
him for worlds, and she went out with
a lingering, plying look over her
shoulder at the girl with the blonde
hair
\ few minutes later, when the girl
came out of the studio, looking quite
swell and dainty in gray broadcloth
and sable, she was accosted by the
elderly woman, gently but firmly, and
told many things, to the effect that she
did not know the folly of her ways,
that the pomps and vanities of this
wicked world We're a smart and pitfall
to the Unwary, and that the lot of
model WAS neither ladylke nor a
righteous path to pursue.
And the girl only blushed and laugh
ed, and looked dowa at her ungloved
left hand as she said sweetly:
Pm awfully sorry we shocked you
so. We-we've only been married
month, you know"
| And she was so anxious to help the
old woman recover herself that she
| bought five tickets.

TUTUILA.

In addition to the recent acquire
Philippine islands and Porto Rico,
with the practical government of
Cuba thrown in, we have quite lately
added to our territorial possessions an
island in the south Pacific ocean, Sit
uated about $50 miles south of the
equator 1t is one of the Samoan
group that has recently been parti-
toned by the leading governments of
Europe. The three chief islands of the
Samoan group are Sabaii, Upolu and
Tutulia, that has become United
States province. Although the small
est of the three, it has the exceptional
advantage of having the only complete
land-locked harbor there is in the en-
tire group. 1t is of great value to us not
only as a coaling station, but as fur
nishing the only harbor in that part of
the south Pacific.
This new acquisition to the United
States wouldn't make more than re-
spectacle township in Pennsylvania,
as it is only eighteen miles long. and
at no point more than five miles broad.
1t has no mineral wealth. and its en-
tire popul ION doesn't exceed 5000,
who are almost wholly natives. The
cocoanut. the orange, the nutmeg and
the pineapple grow spontaneously, and
the natives live the life OF unalloyed
idleness.
There is no likelihood that the COM
merce of our south Pacific island will
attract American adventures, and
there will be none to claim Its admis-
sion as territory with a representa-
tive in congress. We have simply Sc
cured the best coaling station and har-
Dor in the south Pacific, with a people
who won't bother about our govern
ment and who won't require that the
government shall bother much about
them.

our brelnren of Christian faith, Bishops
and missionaries, women and children,
who for the sake of their faith, which
is also mine, have died the violent
death of martyrs, and are accuserS OF
your Majesty. Do the hbations COM
manded by your Majesty suffice for all
these innocent ones? 1 do not make
your Majesty personally responsible for
the outrage against all the legations.
which are held inviOlabie among all ma
lions, nor for the grievous wrongs done
so many nations and faiths and to the
subjects of your Majesty of my Chris
tan belief. But the advisers of your
Majesty's throne and the officials on
whose heads rests the blood guilt of a
crime which fills all Christian nations
with horror must eXpiate their abOm-
Unable deed. When your Majesty brings
them to the punishment they have de-
served, that / will regard as an expia-
ton which will satisfy the nations of
Christendom.
If your Majesty will use your i'm
perfal power for this purpose. accepting
to that end the support of all the in
jured nations, l. for my part, declare
myself agreed on that point. I should
also gladly welcome the return of your
Majesty to Peking. For this my gen
eral, Field Marshal Won Waldersee, will
be instructed not only to serve your
Majesty with the honorS due your rank
but he will afford your Majesty the
military protection which you may de-
sire and which you may need against
the rebels.

atones for the guilt which makes good
the wrong done and which offers to all
foreigners in China security for life and
property, and, above all, for the free
service of their religion

BERLIN, Oct 1.-The following Is
the text of the Chinese Emperor's mes
sage to Emperor william of Germany:
Greeting-That your Majesty's Min
.ster has fallen victim to the rising
which suddenly broke out in emma,
without our officials being able to pre-
vent ii, whereby our friendly relations
we're disturbed, is deeply deplored ana
regretted. BY decree we order tndt
sacrifice be made on the altar Tor tne
deceased and Chief Secretary Kun
fang has been instructed to pour liba-
ions on the altar. The commercial
superintendents of the northern ana
southern ports have been ordered 70
AXE the needful measures concerning
he conveyance of the coffin Of the de-
ceased. When it reaches Germany a
second offering shall be made on an
altar.
Germany has always maintained the
friendliest relations with China. We
therefore entertain the hope that your
Majesty will renounce all resentment
so that peace may be arranged as soon
is possible and that universal harmo-
~ be rendered possible for all time.
This is Our most anxious hope and our
most ardent wish.
Emperor William replied September
30 as follows:
To the Emperor of China: /, the En-
peror of Germany, have received the
telegram of your Majesty, the Emperor
of China. 1 have observed with salts
faction that the Emperor of China is
anxious to expiate, according to the
precept of your religion, the shameful
murder Of my Minister which set at
naught all civilization, yet, as the Ger
man Emperor and a Christian, I cannot
regard that abominabie crime as atom

Chinese Government to surrender those
Cnluese VINO snou.0 be designated was IN
line with this purpose. This fear has
peen largely dissIpated by the new sug-
gestions, which meet in large part the
views OF this Government.
1t is understood to be the purpose of the
Administration to take advantage of the
bettered situation to formulate method
Of settlement of the Chinese question.
This will be discussed by the Cabinet
when Mr.. Mckinley returns to Washing
ton.
In connection with the character of
punishment that the Chinese Government
will be required to impose, the reply of
the German Emperor to the communities
ton from the Emperor of China is look
ed upon as very important. 1t shows that
the German monarch proposes to be the
judge not only as to the adequacy of the
punishment but also as to who should be
punished, and Is in accord with the note
addressed to the powers.

The trip to the east by way of Salt
Lake City and the Rio Grandc Western
railway in connection with either the
Denver & Rio Grande or Colorado Mid
land railways is the grandest on the
American continent, passing as it does
through the heart of the Rocky Noun
tains. No European journey of equal
length can compare with it in splendor of
scenery or wealth of move interest. A
stop-over in Salt Lake City is permitted
on all tickets via this route. Salt lake
City is known as the most quaint "a nd
picturesque place in the United States.
It's summer climate is Incompatible. The
Mormon Temple, Tabernacle and Church
Institutions. the Hot Springs. Warm Sui
phur Springs and the Sanitarium are a
few of it's attractive features. 1t is q
city of beautiful homes, parks, drives
and nearby canyons and mountain re-
sorts. Great Salt Lake. on the sailed
shores of which the city is situated, is
'deader and denser," than the Dead Sea
in Palestine. Imagine, if you can, a salt
bath a mile above sea level in water in
which the human body cannot sink. A
