looked at her with strange wlldness in
his eyes.

She sprang up and threw her arms

words of love and passion; but he had
fallen back on his pillow, painfully

hot gasps.

such as railroads, telegraph and telephone,
coal mines, etc.
Land including all natural sources OF wealth.

MAGIC OF FIGURES.
Trick In Simple Subtraction That VIII
Puzzle Every One.


You can never tell what figures will
do. OF course they are truthful, II
properly handled, but some of them
are capable of the most bewildering
antics. Here is a method by which
figures may be made to tell secrets In
way that will astonish those who
are not informed about how to do the
figuring" Ask some person to put
down unknown to you a number COM
posed of three figures (say 1922. Tell
him to transpose the figures making
267) and to subtract the lesser from
the greater. Then ask him to tell you
the first figure Of the result, and you
can tell him the entire number. For
instance, your first number in the
present example is 1852, which trans
posed makes 267. Subtract 267 from
762 and you have 495. The only fig
ure that you are told is 4, the first
Of the result. All you have to do is
to subtract from 9, which will give
you 5, the last figure, and the central
figure Is always 8. So your number
will be 495. This Is true in all cases
where only three figures are used in
making up number. The central
figure will always be 9 when the trans
posed number is subtracted from the
original number, and the two end
figures when added together will make
8. So, knowing either the first or last
figure of the result, you can give the
entire number.

In Tunis plumpness constitutes the
popular idea of female beauty. Among
manageable young ladies of that
province, slenderness of form and
delicacy Of proportion are regarded as
disqualifications for the welded state.
The fatter the maiden, the better
chance she has of making a good and
early match. and the loveliest litheness
remains unwooed. while homely corpu-
lence can pick and choose from a
throng Of eligible suitors. Thus coun-
tries vary in their tastes, For / over
heard man and woman seated be-
hind me at place OF amusement the
other night discussing some avoirdu-
pois on the stage, when the man frank
ly declared he abhorred the squeezed
in. eorseted look of this Junoesque per-
son. Il would rather see bag of
bones that would slip round"
You mean rattle" interjected the
woman. mo, don't! / mean slip;

at every movement. Youth should be,

women when you do grow plump to
brace up like that" "Oh, nothing sat

Then the drum in the orchestra
banged, and his muttered denial was
lost in noise. But the modish figure
had been observed since then. and it
is found to be in great perfection

chased recently by Mrs. o. II. Hall OF
Cincinnati, for the sum Of 1000, and

in 1914 by Gen. William Henry Harri-
son, who presented 1t to his bride.
There he dwelt until he went to the
White House, and where his nine chill
dren and his illustrious grandson.
Benjamin Harrison. were born. At
the time the house was built Harri-
son was governor of the Northwestern
Territoy, and as the conqueror of Te-
cumseh was a national hero. Those
were exciting days, times Of great per-
sonal danger, and no conveniences,
and the Harrison mansion, simple as
1t was, was regarded then as aristo-
cratic and stately. The hospitality Of
its halls was famous. Not day pass
ed that 1t did not afford entertainment
for many guests. 1t Is said that on
occasions no less than sixty guests sat
down together at the long mahogany
tables In the great sun-lit dining hail.
1t is said that the bride was not con-
tent unless her cook served three

times when cattle were scarce, when
settlements were hundreds of miles
apart. But wild duck and the fish in
the rivers were plentiful, and NO

In Turkey the unit Of value is the
piastre, which is divided into forty
paras, while the para is divided into
three aspes. AS the piastre Is only
worth "A cents. the para is worth a
little more than a tenth of a cent. and
an aspe is worth a trile over one
twenty-seventh of a cent. When an
American in Turkey wants to feel rich.
he goes forth and buys some 200
aspes. which he spends with lavish
hand over the bargain counters of the

sRANcE TO OFFER her SERVICES
Rumor In Washington of Peace Overtures
to England.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-In diplomatic
circles a rumor is current that France
has determined to offer to Great Brit
ain her good offices looking to bring
ing about peace in South Africa. 1t
was said that France would couch the
offer in such language that it could
give no offense to England. Another
rumor had il that President Kruger
had indicated his @willingness to
acknowledge the dependence of the
Transvaal and would guarantee the
reforms demanded by the English last
year. These reports were traced, after
some effort, to an attache of one of the
foreign embassies. Attempts to obtain
from NJ. Cambon, French ambassador,
an affirmation or denial of the rumors
were futile. In some quarters the
stories are given full credence.

The senior Hawkney amassed fortune

carpenter and observing economical
habits. He educated his son for physi-
clan. sending him abroad TO perfect his
education. The son was at one time
member of the Bellevue Hospital corps

there owing to his love for liquor.
The downfall OF the only son broke

had saved was used UP I'm getting tho
