A BUSINESSLIKE MAMMA.
Presents Her Two Daughters to Wife,
Seeking Bachelor and Gives
Him His Pick.

Having advertised in a paper for q
wife, Perkins Williams sat down to re-
ceive proposals. Mr.. Williams is a
prosperous farmer and lives two miles
south of Cortland, n. Y. When he had
received 100 favorable communica-
tions he selected the choicest few and
opened negotiations. None had been
finally closed when an elderly woman
and two younger ones drove up to
Mr.. Williams front door and inquired
for him.
The elderly woman announced that
she had come on business matter
and would stay to dinner. Mr.. Will
liams entertained his guests sumptu-
ously. When it was over the elderly
woman pushed back her chair and,
waving her hand toward the two girls,
said, briskly:
snow, Mr.. Williams, l have read
your advertisement. You seem very
comfortable here. These two girls
are my daughters. Ethel and Marion
Bodkin. They are willing to marry.
Take your pick
Mr.. Williams looked them over, in
cluding Mrs. Bodkin, and decided on
Ethel. The wedding day was set for
Thanksgiving, and the Bodkin family
drove back to their home where Per-
kins Williams will present himself for
his bride on the day appointed.

TO CUT WAY TO POLE.
Russia to Use Powerful Iceship in
Arctic Exploration.
VIII BE sent North Next summer and
viii Attempt to break Passage
THROUGH the Immense Ice
Fields There.

An entirely new departure in arctic
exploration will be made next sum
mer. Russia will send north her won
derful iceship, the Yermak. with in
structions to try to cut her way
through to the pole. The perform
ances of this vessel in cutting and
tearing her way at three or four miles
an hour through the immense ice
fields of the Baltic sea and other Rus
sian waters have excited amazement
among all who have witnessed them
She is now being equipped and i'm
proved for the greatest of all tasks
The Armstrong; at Elswick have
just completed new bow which is
especially designed to encounter the
field of ice in the Arctic sea, which
is heavier and thicker than any which
the Yermak has yet attacked. The
original bow was easily capable of
dealing with any of the enormous ice
fields which Russia produces. She
went to high latitude on an expert
mental trip last summer and accom-
plished all that could be expected of
her in her assaults upon the eternal
ice which she then encountered. The
alterations now being made were sng-
gested by this experience.
Admiral Makaroff, who is superin-
tending the changes. has the greatest
confidence that his ship will cut her
way without delay straight to the
pole and will return safely in the
same season. Every prccauton has
been taken to fit her out for long
stay in case of accident or blockade.
| Admiral Makaroff has refused TO give
out details of the plans or even 20
admit that the expedition will be TN
dertakeB. but there is no doubt on
this point. No information is yet
available as to the route to be taken
or how the coal problem will be
solved. There will be supplies at one
or two points in Arctic Russia and
probably a collier will carry an rddi-
tional supply as far as the ice will
| permit.

POPULARITY OF GOLF GROWS,
DR.. DudgeOn Calls 1t Most Valuable
Scottish Gift to the
World.

The popularity of gold in England
grows apace. Wherever bit o1
ground at all suitable for the sport is
found there the golfer is sure to be
seen. This was well demonstrated
the other day when Mr.. Balfour
opened the Hawksworth Golf club
house. Small as the village is, that
golf house cost the large sum of $1O,.
600.
Apropos of this, people have jnst
been reading little book called "The
Prolongation of Life" by DR.. r. E
Dudgeon, written chiefly for those
who have had to abandon their accus.
toned business or occupation and be.
gin as 1t were new mode of life, OF
which they have had no previous ex
perience.
In a chapter on exercise DR.. Dud.
geon, who exultantly declares that
Scotland never gave the world more
valuable gift than golf, describes the
national game and its health-giving
qualities with enthusiasm.

WEALTH A TEWARDSHIP.
So Says Helen VI. Gould-NobIe Young
Woman Feels Responsibility
Riches Place Upon Her.

Miss Helen Miller Gould. daughter
of the late Jay Gould, has written for
publication an autograph letter. in
which she sets forth the opportunities
of the rich, declaring wealth to be a
stewardship and not a means of per-
sonal qualification. Her letter to the
editor of the Christian Herald was
written in response to a request for
her views on the subject of wealth
and its proper use. The letter in part
says:
The Christian idea that wealth is
a stewardship, or trust, and not to be
used for ones personal pleasure
alone, but for the welfare of others,
certainly seems the noblest, and those
who have more money or broader cul-
ture owe debt to those who have
had fewer opportunities. And there
are so many ways one can help!
"Chldren, the sick, and the aged
especially. have claims on our atten-
tion. and the forms of work for them
are numerous.
after all, however, sympathy and
good will may be a greater force than
wealth. and we can all extend TO
Others kindly feeling and courteous
consideration that will make life
sweeter and better.
Sometimes it seems to me we do
not sufficiently realize the good that
is done by money that is used in the
different industries in giving employ
ment to great numbers of people"

THEATERS IN RUSSIA.
Between Acts and the Amount of
Applause Actors Shall Receive.

1t is reported that the police of
Kieff, Russia. have taken the theaters
of that city in hand. They have not
found it necessary to measure the
length of the skirts of the members
of the ballet. The evils which they
desire to correct, and no doubt have
already satisfactorily corrected, are
of another character. There was some
complaint that the pauses between
the acts were too long, and the police
decided that these waits must not last
over IS minutes. The police also dis
covered that certain actors were be-
ing applauded far beyond their real
merits. They therefore decided that
in future no actor may be applauded
more than three times during the
same performance.

TAKES ITS OWN PICTURE.
Train Which Is Made to Press the
Button While the Camera Faith
fully Does the Rest.

After repeated failures to secure a
satisfactory negative of train in
motion, Ayrault Green, an expert Chi
cago photographer. recently made
the Burlington's Denver Flyer take
its own picture. This he accom-
plished by an electric switch which
when connected with the rail closes
the circuit as soon as it is struck by
the engine. The switch communicates
with a set of dry cells, and thence to
a shutter release.
When the successful test was made,
the switch was put in place about six
feet behind the spot where it was cal
culated that the front of the engine
would appear when the shutter was
released. When the engine struck
the switch it closed the circuit, the
high-speed shutter moved, and the
picture was correctly registered on
the center of the plate.

sensational feat that the automobile
did was really to run, thing of which

There were professors. mechanics,
women, investors and rival auto"
makers so tightly jammed about the
booth that many could not see the
process of charging. Only liquid air
was put in. It was forced under
pressure from a portable metal tank
to the copper storage cylinder in the
