THE WESTERN GIRL.
Pronounced difference When Com
pared with One from the East
Even Though Clothed the Same.

Place the New Yorker beside q
typical western girl-one, say, from
Kansas-clothe them in identical
garments, and the difference becomes
even more pronounced, writes H. S.
Garfield, in Woman's Home Com
panion. They may be equally charm
ing, but they are not alike. The
westerner is apt to be bigger Of
bone; her eyes will be more widely
open; she will look at the world with
franker gaze; she will be slightly
more independent or aggressive"
more used to doing for herself"
She will take the rough manners of
the hurrying men as a matter OF
course. No frown will quicker her
pretty eyebrows when she is jostled.
She walks with less lightness and
more sturdiness. She outbreathes an
air of accepting things as she finds
them and making the best of them.
In all probability she is the daughter
of a man and woman who were
among the vests winners. Her
parents found life hard, she finds it
easy; but the result of their long
battle against untamed nature and
restricted social conditions is shad-
owed in her.

SHE BOUGHT THE LOT.
Baltimore Man with Real Estate for
Sale Made Effective Use of
BiIIbOards.

Honest advertising is hard to beat,
as all business minds will agree, but
here is a story of little scheme that
served the purpose quite as well as
advertising, says the Baltimore News.
A man, we'll known in this city, had
a piece of property in the northern
section which he wished to sell. The
property was on one corner of con-
servative street and on the opposite
corner was the residence of lady who
is we'll known in society and wealth.
The man who owned the lot offered 1t
to the lady at what real estate brokers
term stiff" figure. She wanted the
property, but not at the price.
The man, who, of course, will be
designated as "mean," decided that
the lady on the opposite corner should
have the property and at his price.
Now, the lady in question is orthodox
to an extreme undreamed of by the
most rabid conservatives. She Is q
white-ribbon lady, and she often shud-
dered at the crude" pictures that had
a change of bin weekly on the huge
poster-boards with which the man
adorned his lot.
Week after week pictures of actress
es of the "few-clothes" variety were
displayed on the posters and the lady
was Mortified. She offered to split the
difference with the heartless man, but
he held out for his price. Recently
the lady paid it, and now the nasty"
billboards are missing.

Americas Bullying Purse.
Baltimore News.

Baltimore News.
1t would take the breath of any Eu-
ropean fnancier to be confronted with
such a bullying purse as now lies in
Americas strong box, but America does
not mind it at all. Five or six years ago
this Government was wrestling with the
problem of short revenue. The big sums
were on the other side of the account.
But even then this Government was not
worried, except because of the effect upon
the controversy over the money standard.
The country is so big, strong and generally
prosperous that 500, 900, 900 or go is but
small matter, whether iG be in the form
of void or,of heap ofcoin. Hrevenues
are low and continue so, an additional tax
is slapped upon something, and the coun'
try pays up without seeming to notice 1t
much. When money is too plentiful in
the Golfers at Washington it is permitted
to pile up for awhile just to see what it
looks like. An American likes the ap'
pearance of plenty, and the people do not
seem to miss it, Such radical fluctuations
and slap-dash inanclering would make
any other nation in the world think about
bankruptcy, but the average American is
blissfully ignorant almost that such things
exist. The productive power Of American
industry is 80 phenomenal that there
seems absolutely no limit to public prod
lgality. Uncle Sam could almost become
a CoalOil Johnnie among nations and keep
up the performance.

PREACHERS QUEER BANNER.
The Good Pastor Was Unconscious of
the Article He ConSpicuOusIy
Advertised.

The dignity Of certain Sunday
school picnic was demoralized the
other day before the scholars and
teachers were well out of town. It
was arranged that the majority
of the scholars should go to the
grove on a trolley car, and that the
pastor of the flock, several teachers
and the baskets should follow in a
wagon hired for the occasion.
This suggestion was followed out,
and the procession started auspi-
,iously. The wagon was trifie in
front, and as the trolley car passed
it the pupils of the Sunday school
saw what made them fear to look
again. The pastor was sitting on the
seat beside the driver, his broad
brimmed hat on his knee, his head
on the support of a gaudy yellow
umbrella that shaded the seat, and
on the umbrella was the inscription:
Drink Firewood Whisky"
1t was too late for the scandalized
pupils to expostulate, says the Balti-
more News. They were whisked by
in short order, and so 1t was not. un-
til he reached the picnic grounds that
the good man knew what strange
device the banner bore which he had
upheld for five miles. When the party
returned the sun was still in the
heavens, but the umbrella was furled
and carefully tucked under the seat
to prevent a scandal.

General Buffers blazing indiscretion
recalls the discovery made nearly thirty
years ago by the late Lord Rosmead.
the Cape governor who went up to Pre-
toria at the time of the Jameson raid TO
reassure President Kruger to the best of
his diplomatic ability. When Lord
Rosmead (then Sir Hercules Robinson)
was governor of New South Wales, in the
the early seventies, it fell to his lot to
admit the erstwhile cannibal kingdom OF
Fiji as an integral part Of the British
Empire. During the incidental ceremonies
he noticed that none of the great fighting
chiefs spoke in person, and that each OF
them had a professional orator on bis staff.
As an Irshman, with strong sense of
humor. Sir Hercules was naturally tickled
by such novel situation, and when he
got back to Sydney he repeatedly eulogized
the arrangement, pointing ont that the
man of action was very rarely man of
words and that civilization might very
well earn lesson from Pacific chiefs.

Why He Got Ten Days.

At an army fort near New York
there is a near-sighted captain who is
very sensitive about his sight. He
wears glasses of the very thickest
make.
In his company is a private who, ex-
cept for his slovenliness, is one of
the best soldiers in the fort. He Is an
Irishman, and, like all his country
men, quick at reply. His many good
qualities have saved him from pun
ishment, but his tongue got him into
trouble the other day.
The company's arms and clothes
were being inspected. The captain
looked at the private's belt and said,
angrily:
"Your belts are always dirty. What
the deuce do you mean by. itP"
81 beg your pardon, sir" was the
reply, "but 1 think it hard that when
1 clean my things with the naked
eye they should be inspected with a
magnifying glass"
The private is now in the guard
house for ten days, and his leave to
visit the city has been suspended in

PRIVILEGES OF DIPLOMATS.
they Are Above the Law I'm the Coun-
tries I'm which They
Are Sent.

The recent arrest of diplomats
son for larceny and his subsequent dis
charge as a matter of international
courtesy brings to the front one OF
The medieval customs that have sur
vived to this day. Outside Of the Dis
trict of Columbia such an incident ex-
cites curiosity and also some adverse
comment.
At Washington, however, people are
accustomed to recognizing diplomats
as above the law. Their carriages, for
instance, are entitled to, although they
do not always take, the right of way.
Few, if any, of the ministers abuse
their privileges. Commenting on the
subject lawyer said to a New York
Times reporter:
"There is no more reason in this age
of rapid transit and instantaneous
communication around the earth for
making a diplomat exempt from the
operation of criminal law than there
would be in granting the same sort of
indulgence to those of our own citi-
zens who have red hair.
1.-TWO or three hundred years ago
there was some sense in the interna-
ton law which holds an ambassador
or plenipotentiary sacred. They were
far away from their home, with which
they could communicate only at long
intervals. They represented their re-
spective governments absolutely, and
were compelled to act wholly upon
their own responsibility. Such, of
course, is not the case now. The min
lister, generally speaking, now simply
carries out the cabled instructions Of
his government. If arrested for crime,
thrown into prison, or even executed,
It is doubtful If the interests of those
whom he represents would particular
" suffer"

body and petitioned the court to
have the remarkable "human docu-
ment" admitted to probate. 1t was
q knotty problem, but the court de
cided that a copy should be made OF
the tattooed will, and that the copy
should have the full effect of an orig
inal will. After the copy had been
made the old miser was buried by
his legatees, the original will being
"fled for reference" as it were.
This case is another instance Of
the imaginations of authors being
realized in fact. In one of Rider
Haggard's stories the plot hinges
upon the existence of just such a tat
tooed will, only in the case Of Rider
Haggard's man the will was tattooed
on his back because he was ship
wrecked and there were no pens, ink
or paper handy for the drawing up
of the "last will and testament" In
the case of the Mexican miser the
tattooed will could be read easily,
and the copy of it was attested by
four witnesses before being admitted
to probate.

A $1,000, 900 BABY.
Nine-Year-OId Boy Inherits Estate of
Lady william BeresfOrd's
First Husband.

James Hooker Hamersley, for
many years a prominent figure in the
fashionable life of the city, died Of
heart failure a few days ago at his
country home at Garrison's-on-the
Hudson.
Mr.. Hamersley was the cousin Of
Louis C. Hamersley, the first hus-
band Of Lady William Beresford. Lady
Beresford's second husband was the
late duke of Marlborough, says the
New York World.
Louis C. Hamersley left an ex-
traordinary will when he died in Feb
ruary, 1888. He provided that his
widow should have the income of his
estate during her life, but upon her
death the whole property, valued at
$7,OOO,OO0, was to go to the male Is
sue of his cousin, J. Hooker Ham
mersley. In event Of the latter leav-
ing no male issue, the estate was to
go to such charities as his widow
should name in her will.
At the time of Louis c. Hamers-
ley's death ]. Hooker Hamersley
was regarded as a confirmed bache-
lor. But soon after he married Miss
Katherine Chisholm, noted south
ern beauty.
One baby daughter and then anoth-
er baby daughter were born to the
couple. But on July 2, 1892; baby
boy was born, and since then he has
been called "the 100000 Hamers-
ley baby" although he is now a
sturdy boy of nine years.
The boy is named Louis Gordon
Hamersley, and his health has been
guarded as carefully as if he were
the heir to kingdom.

The greatest surrender in the annals
of warfare was that of Metz on Octo-

with its surrounding forts, was prac-

ship permitted it to be completely sur
rounded and cut off. The surrender
included three field marshals, sc gen.

over 400 guns, 100 mitrailleuses, nearly
go standards and 5000 rank and file.

REORGANIZATION OF MEXICO.
Country Rich in Many Ways Almost
Completely Neglected Until
Recent Years.

1t is strange that Mexico was not
largely Americanized long ago, says
the Philadelphia Bulletin. Here is a
country which stands in the very
front rank in the matter of mineral
resources. In her soil can be found
in abundance silver, gold, copper,
iron, coal, and, indeed, practically
every desirable mineral that can be
found in the United States. Mexico
has a population of about 100000,
more than that of the Philippines,
Hawaii, Guam, Porto Rico and Cuba
combined; her political institutions
are, nominally at least, much like
our own; person and property are
reasonably secure within her borders
and her people are steadily increas-
ing in intelligence.
Yet this inviting field, which lies
at our very doors, was almost COM
pletely neglected for years. We have
been of late expanding vast amount
of money in the hope of TRANQUILITY
ing and developing a group of islands,
with a semi-civilized population, on
the other side of the globe. Mexican
exports and imports amount to as
much In one year as the exports and
imports of the Philippines do in
seven.
1t is gratifying to note that there
is now a disposition ON this side of
the border to make up for this neg
lect. The more American capital
there is invested in Mexico the closer
the two republicans will be drawn to-
gether. Whether this may result ulti-
mately in political annexation Is a
problem for the future to solve, but
1t car hardly fail to make for the
prosperity and advancement of both
