Comparing the Two Fairs.

Paris Letter in Harpers' Weekly:
Perhaps nine-tenths of the Americans
who are coming to Paris this year
were at Chicago in 1893, and their first
impulse will be to institute compare
sons-which is c~ommendable for it's
patriotism at least. 1t is well to re-
fleet at such n time, however, that the
first impressions at Chicago were not
uniformly Of a pleasing order. This
applies to most of those who went to
Jackson park by railroad or street
car and arrived at the unsightly back
door of the fair. Nothing like an inn
pressive entrance was attempted by
the architects excepting on the LAX
side, and fortunate was he whose first
glimpse of the White city was from
the lake.
Looking back at it now, as l saw il
first on n summers evening from the
waterside, with it's lights and CLEAN
ing palaces, it seemed a fairyland, a
dream city by the waves. / have never
seen anything that remotely sug-
gested its marvellous beauty except
the illumination of the North river
and harbor at New York during the
Dewey celebration. BY day the view
from the lake was hardly less inspir-
ing. 1t was like discovering a v%erita.
BILE Atlantis. Landing at the water
gate, its simple perfection scarcely
preparing us for the burst of beauty
from the Court of Honor within, that
unrivaled production of artistic gen.
Jus, peerless to this day among the
artificial delights upon which the
most favored eye has Toasted, we
found this inscription: ''Tbe wilder.
ness and the solitary place shall be
glad for them"

RIDlCULE FOR HEN-PECKeD MAN
How the People OF n French village
Punish Him.

For centuries the women of Montlu-
con, France, have been renowned for
strength of character and severity of
demeanor. At the same time no con-
viction is held more firmly by the peo-
pie of Montlucon han that women
should be the rulers of their own
households.
In its effort to reconcile the theory
OF mans supremacy and the condi-
tion--in most cases-of his subiuga-
ton by his wife, Montlucon years ago
devised a form of humiliation to rouse
~overdocile husbands to a sense of
their shame.
Last week this ancient punishment
was visited in its full rigor on a par
ticularly unfortunate victim of wifely
discipline. The affair created a sensa-
ton, and this week all the husbands
are lions, all the wives lambs.
The spiritless man whom the town
subjected to ignominy was a factory
hand named Jules Roger. He had VEN
tured "a few days earlier TO find fault
with certain domestic arrangements
for which his wife was responsible.
"nsulting creature" cried his wife,
true to the traditions of Montlucon
femininity, and a stormy quarrel fol-
lowed. AS the husband did not relin-
quish the ground he had taken, his
wife seized a broom and emphasized
her remarks to such an extent that
the mechanic was finally able only 10
crawl out of the house groaning.
So when he left his work the next
night he found the majority of
the towns population lying in wait
for him, impatient for the following
spectacle:
A white cotton nightcap was tied on
Rogers head and "a distaff thrust in
his hand. The Inundated wretch was
then forced on a donkey's back, facing
toward the animals tail. Finally,
upon his back was pinned a placard
upon which was written: 81 am will
ling TO be beaten by my wife"
A chorus of jecrs greeted the man
and the donkey as they were led forth
TO ride about the town. The process.
sion moved slowly and at every steT
the crowd increased. All Rogers fell
low workmen, all the husbands who
had been similarly disciplined, an6
all the wives who had acted as disci
plinarians-the latter. it was noticed
being particularly jubilant-foilowet
the jeering, haunting procession anc
its victim i'm their tour Of the town.
But even Roger is willing to admit
that the superiority of man must bt
maintained at whatever cost.

New York World: Miss Julia Della
field, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ma

exclusives, will play Lady Bountiful
today in a charmingly quaint fashion.
Fifteen girls whose lives have been

the city will be her guests at her
beautiful country home in Riverside,
N. Y. They range in age from 10 to
16, and the entertainment with which
Miss, Delafield proposes to make their
hearts glad is no conventional affair
of house or lawn, but such a frolic al
these children have never dreamed of
They r to build bonfires in th'
woods.
The invitations especially caution
each girl to wear her "old clothes.
Miss Delafield's romp in the woods
with her guests is to be followed b.
an adjournment to her home for al
hour before the return. 4
Miss Delaheld was an enthusiast
worker for the Red Cross funds dur

CASCADE TUNNEL NEARLY READY
1t viii Benefit the Great Northern
Kailroad.


The largest railway tunnel in the
world Is nearly completed, through
the Cascade mountains west of here,
says the Kalispel, Mont, correspond
ent of the Boston Transcript. 1t js
the pet scheme of j. j. Hill, president
of the Great Northern road, and will
save that road twelve miles and sew
eral hours in the transcontinental
run 1t will give it a shorter time
from the Mississippi and Lake Super
ior to the Pacific than the Northern
Pacific can make. BY next January
Great Northern trains will be passing
under the Cascades instead of wind
ing and backing over them. There are
now seven switchbacks over the noun
tain the tunnel will wipe out. Eight
years ago MIR. Hill put engineers in
the field for n final reconnaissance of
this tunnel. When he announced his
plan railroad men laughed and said it
would bankrupt his system. 1t is be-
ing built almost entirely from the
surplus of the road, largely
from those OF the Montana Central
branch. The work for two years was
! by funds secured in Germany, but
since January 1, 1897, it has been en-
tirely paid for by earnings above divi-
dends. More than two miles of work
is completed, and a third of a mile re-
mains. Almost 1000 men are at work
with the latest and most powerful APP
pliances known to rock drilling and
masonry. The sum paid for labor to
date is nearly $4,000, 900, and the tun'
mel will cost more than $4,000, 900.
Aside from the time and distance
saved, the latter n small item, the
tunnel will avoid the difficulty oil
keeping open for more than seven
months each year the s~now-covered
gorges of Stevens pass, where now
often falls to a fabulous depth. Trans
continental freight will be carried
more cheaply, and it is to the trans
continental freight destined to the
orient that Mr.. Hill looks for the fu
ture of his system. He is shaping his
affairs TO the end that he can carry
freight from any part of the eastern
United States to the orient, when il
shall open, at the lowest possible cost
and he is quoted rs saying here very
recently, when coming back after az
inspection of the tunnel, that in ter
years the traffic for China would re
quire n double track from Duluth tC
Seattle.
His road is now receiving steel rail,
and other export goods brought by
rail from the Atlantic tidewater tC
the lakes at Buffalo, and thence by
the ships to Duluth, consigned fol
Honolulu and Nagasaki. Train aftel
train of this material is now passing
west through here. With the construc
tion Of the freighters to be built a
New London, Conn, and new anC
and larger freighters for the lake
than he now has together with tn
new tunnel, n still lower rate will b'
made. The new lake freight ship
will soon be built, and it is understood
are now in the designing rooms o
builders.

Chicago Tribune: "Socrates!" ex.

wrath, threatening of aspect and
shrill as to voice. you say you have
been to the lodge, you were delayed
by a street car accident, and you had
no. idea it was so late. These three
stories don't hang together. You
clumsy wretch! You have built a
structure of lies, and it falls to the
ground at the touch like a house of
cards. Look at it and see if you don't

Exit tho Indy.

Tib-Bits: We have all met people
whose pride in their possessions is sc
great that they can see no charms in
those Of others.
A young botanist was showing a
party Of ladies and gentlemen through
n conservatory and explaining to
them the properties of some of the
choicest plants.
Among the visitors was a would-be
young-looking middle-aged lady, who,
at every description, volunteered the
statement that the plants and flowers
she had at home were quite equalt to
anything exhibited here, or, indeed,
anywhere. just as they were passing
a giant cactus she was heard to ex-
claim:
"Well, this is nothing extraordi-
nary. i have a cactus at home that is
still larger. / planted and reared it
myself"
Reared it yourself?" the botanist
gently observed. "How remarkable!
This speciment is SO years old, and i
yours is still larger"
The lady did not stay to hear any
more, but executed a strategic move
ment to the rear.

CHAPTER XII.


It was a matter for surprise in the
little Hall household one morning
when the letter carrier handed in a
missive addressed to the widow. Any
letter at all would have been m
thing of a novelty a few weeks before,
but by this time John was writing
pretty regularly to Adele, and the old
woman had got used to It. But a let
ter for "Mrs. Sarah Hall!" The incl
dent was something of a shock and
more of a puzzle.
"Why, bless my SOUL" she ejacu-
lated, putting on her spectacles and
inspecting the things exterior. 81
haven't had a letter sent to me in a
dogs age. L wonder who it can be
from. A city letter, too! Well, /
didn't suppose Their was anybody here
who would care to remember Sally
Hall. II might just as well have come
from Picking or Jerusalem only / sup
pose the postage would have been
more. IT don't look good. / always did
hate that sort of fiimsy, squash col
ored envelope. And il the writer is MS
grabbed as his hand he must be a eau
tion."
Deliberately she opened the en-
velope with a pair of scissors and
drew out a half sheet of note paper,
bearing in the same grabbed chirogra-
ply as the superscription:
Are you the widow of Abner G..
Hall? If you are, how much are you
willing to give for information that
will be of great value to you? An
swer by a Personal i'm the World to-
morrow addressed to NJ"
"Oh, mother, il is from hat man
McCaffery!" exclaimed Addie, who
had been leaning over her mothers
shoulder reading with her.
1T seems to be. So that contempt
ible tool Of a scoundrel has come out
of his hiding place at last, and with a
demand TO be paid for information
that his conscience, il he has any,
must tell him II was his duty to have
given freely eighteen years ago. Had
he done so your father might be alive
today and we in afiluence instead of in
the gutter"
"Oh, mamma, not quite so bad as
that
"Metaphorically speaking, my child.
How much will | give? l know what
| would like very much TO give him.
why does he want you to advertise
in a newspaper when it would be so
much simpler to gipe-his address for
you TO write to him direct?"
ooh, no. The rascal is too smart
for that. His assassin instincts prompt
him to strike from the dark"
What are you going to promise
him?"
"Are we in n condition to promise
anything, my child? There is but one
thing | could promise him-a cleaner
conscience than he has had since his
participation in that infamous trans
action"
81 hardly think, from whata l have
heard you say of Mccartney, that he
would be likely to value that very
highly as an inducement."
Then we can do nothing-yes, we
can trust in providence"
THAT is all very well, but / wish
Jack were here"
"Why? What could Jack do? Hs
cannot even find this wretch"
81 don't know what he could do
but l am sure he could do something
so you think. L don't wonder al
it. 1t is natural for girls to imagine
their lovers can do anything. But
have learned differently. Lovers can
do no more than other men, and e
orally less. Still, l don't deny that |
would like to have Mr.. Latham's ad.
vice If he were here. When will he re.
turn"

Mary's Quick Wit.

Omaha World-Herald: Despite man
fold contradictions, it is common to
hear people say that women possess
no subtle wit.
MARY" remarked Angelina, 81 am

she has a great deal of intuition, and
that is of itself n great benefit.
