MARK TWAIN'S DISCOUNTS.

There are some singular discounts
allowed in the book trade. They
were happily Illustrated on one occa-
sion by Mark Twain. One day while
the humorist was connected with a
publishing house he went into a book
store and picking up volume asked
the price. He then suggested that
as a publisher he was entitled TO 50
per cent. discount. To this the clerk
assented.

Daring Act of an English Soldier

The British officer, says Julian
Ralph in can American with Lord

mighty person when you meet him
first, but he softens in time into an
exceedingly good fellow. Yet at any
moment he may be expected to per-
form a picturesque action in a truly
British manner.
AT the battle of Dreefontein sew
eral officers were under a shower Of
bullets that came like water shot out
of a needle-bath. They were all press
ing their bodies down, as if they
would have liked to press them into
the earth. Suddenly one very tall
fellow began to rise. First he got on
his knees, then he Strengthened up on
his feet to his full stature, and stood
in that spray of lead, the only target
on the field.
He fumbled for his eye-giSss, found
it, contorted his cheek as man does
to fit such an ornament into his face,
and then drawled out:
cav, L say, L wondah where these
bullets are coming FRONT"
He continued to stand and stare at

presently he drawled again, while tbs

The other ''fellahs'' squirmed and

at that Reggie adjusted his glass
anew, and after one long, hard stare
at the invisible enemy, slowly re-
turned to embrace his mother earth.

Diplomacy is fAe art, and in its

The play has been cast and staged in the most liberal manner by MT Frohman, and certainly MT Rose has made a successful dramatiZation. He takes up the narrative at the time when Will Brewer, Eben Holden's pro- tege, has just reached mans estate and is realizing his love for the charming
 Hope" Their romance is not with out its setbacks, but true love gener- ally manages to reach the end of its course with a happy climax, and it does in this case, thanks particularly to the sympathy and assistance of Eben Holden. MT Rose, it is claimed, has been happy in holding up the stage mirror to the character of "Eben'' so alluringly described in MT Bacheller's book. He has valuable assistance in this task from F. NJ. Holland, who plays the. part. The rest of the com pany presents list of names almost equally distinguished and well known so that there is every assurance of a fine dramatic production.

LOVERS LANE"

Clyde Fitch's beautiful play, "LoV- CTS Lane," which William A. Brady produces at Polls this evening and to- morrow afternoon and evening in the same form and with all the accessor- ies that made it popular for i've months in Chicago, is a satire leyelled against tine peculiarities of social and church life in small town. The cen tral figure is a young clergyman of more than ordinary liberal views, who is virile and full blooded and has the courage of Ihis convictions. He also has well defined ideas as to what amusement should be devised to keep the younger members of his flock out of the reach of temptation, and his house is a refuge for the depressed of every kind. Conditions like these, with a handsome young fellow to the fore, are sure to develop oddly, and in the genial comedy, through which peeps a tender love story, MT Fitch brings to view many quaint types of New England folk that playgoers will laugh at. At the same time some of the narrow-minded members of the flock are greatly incensed because of the young minister's unconventionality, and who perhaps should not be laughed at. By both, however, the Amherst graduate is the butt for scan- dal-mongers and intriguers. Lovers Lane" is in four scenes. and MT Fitch has naturally extricated a great deal of fun from such rural oddities as the manager of the opera house and the leader of Eddysville society, the vil- lage schoolmarm, general storekeep- CT, and the New York art student, and the bickerings of the social purity league. The matinee tomorrow has been made popular bargain one, prices being fixed at 9 and 50 cents. and at these rates the theater should be damned to the doors.

Indian Women Who Wear Suits Worth
 a Thousand Dollars.

a Thousand Dollars.
 It has just cropped out in social cir cles that the Oklahoma Indian women are among the most fashionable dress CTS in America. This fact is worth pre- senting to those who look to Paris for their fashions. There may come time when Paris looks to Oklahoma ii things go on in this way 1t is fact very narrowly known, that many women of the Kiowa, Comanche, Arapahoe and Ponca tribes have dresses costing from $750 to $1,5OO apiece. They are not made in what We should call the latest styles; the decor ations are what count.
 The squaws' money is nearly all spent in purchasing costly ornaments for their clothing. These ornaments are in the shape of iewelry and prec- ious stones, elk teeth and pearls. It is nothing out of the common to see an Indian girl walking around over her reservation with $500 worth of elk teeth tied to her dress in decorative style. Again, a two-karat diamond is no curiosity to these. dusky,. belles. Most of the dresses are made from soft buckskin lined with silk or satin. Red satin is great favorite for dress lining and shirt waists among the Indian women. Yellow silk is another of their favorites. but violet was the prevailing color this year. Next year the Indian woman who leads the fash ion will decree new and dashy color to be the up-to-date thing, and, of course, all of the women will follow her.
 Society as We name it is a thing un- known among the reservation Indian women, but they have a certain envy of social standing just the same When they come to the small towns on trad ing days there may be assembled sev- eral hundred Of the women from var ious parts of the country, and they gather in the agency and talk over events among themselves. gossip upon the scandals and rail against the whites for hours at time

The more elk teeth one has on her dress the more popular she is at these Weekly meetings .at the agency buildings. They examine each others dresses carefully and freely express to the Wearer's opinions upon the quality and cost. If the dress meets with the disapproyal of one, she has no hesitan- cy about saying so to the owner of such dress. who retorts as she sees fit. Sometimes open quarrels ensue at these sessions because some woman has been too bold in her criticism. Before they go home they take vote on the dresses, and the owner of the best is crowned leader of fashion for the next week, and all must refrain from criticising her dress. During the ensuing week there is a<great race to outshine her garments. and this is generally accomplished. No matter how hard she may have striven to hold her place in the lead The squaws do not have to work as hard as is general ly supposed.

Continued public interest marks the engagement of the Waite comedy and stock company at the Jacques, and the audiences are satisfactorily large at every performance. It is undoubtedly due to the well selected repertoire, and the popular plays included, that the company owes much of its success, and they present the plays in a way to win favor from their audience. In addition to the plays. however, the vaudeville specialties that are intro- duced never fail to score. and they are certainly very popular feature of the entertainments furnished.
