Mirror Mad.

"What!'' exclaims the astonished
reader, "is it possible that there are
any civilized persons on the face of the
earth who are not in the habit of be-
holding their visages reflected from
time to time in mirror of some kind?
Surely this cannot be so.'' Wrong,
quite wrong, gentle reader, for at the
present time, strange as it may ap-
pear, there are hundreds of men and
women in the United Kingdom who
have not gazed into a mirror for years.
The convicts confined in British pris-
ons form members of this community.
From the moment of a convict's en-
trance to a jail to the moment of his
exit he is not permitted to have the
use of mirror of any kind, the small
est piece of glass being rigidly denied
him. To the women convicts this alb
sence of a mirror forms one of the
chief hardships of confinement, and
many a female warder can tell paeous
tales of women who have actually fall
en- upon their knees and sobbed out
entreaties for the loan of morsel of
mirror-"just for a second" All these
entreaties have perforce to be disre-
garded, and it therefore comes about
that many a female convict passes
three or four years without being per-
mitted to gaze upon her own features.

He Got a Pass.


"Haltw cried an alert patrolman in
Manila as a beautifully caparisoned
carriage drove up containing a portly
gentleman. The driver refined his
steeds. and the sentry, standing firmly
in the center of the street, shouted,
''Who is there%
Not knowing what else to say, the
occupant of the carriage answered.
Judge Taft, president of the civil
commission
Advance. Judge Taft, to be recog-
nized," bawled the sentry. The judge
advanced, and the following dialogue
took place:
Sentry-Have you pass?
Taft-No, sir; do I require one?
Sentry-You do, sir, and it's my duty
to run you in.
Taft-But am the civil governor OF
the Philippine Islands.
Sentry-That doesn't cut any figure.
You're a civilian and out after hours.
I'll let you go by this time, but the next
time catch you you'll have to see the
captain"
THANK you," murmured Judge Taft
as he drove away. And there and then
he formed resolution to put in an
application for pass. According to
the Manila Freedom, he got it.

Beers Swarm Over the Land.
The latest reports show the situa-
ton TO be generally as follows; M
ruman, if still uninvested, probably
soon will be. Griqualand West is
filled with small parties of Beers, who
are working south toward Prieska for
the purpose of cooperating with or
supporting Gommandant Hertzog,
whose advance parties are in the
neighborhood of Frazenburg. The
Beers are close to GRAF Reinet, where
of late the Dutch have given many
demonstrations of extreme sympathy
In the eastern part of the colony the
advance guard of the Beers is close TO
harrisburg, about twenty-five miles
northeast of Cradock The general
opinion here is that the position is
not properly appreciated in England
Dutch Are Likely to Rise.
The Worchester conference excited
the Dutch througout the colony. Many
old residents. who are by no means

the Dutch as quite likely. Martial law
has been proclaimed in the Worcester
shire, Ceres, Prince Albert, Fraser
burg and Sutherland divisions. The en-
listment of volunteers is active. and
the best authorities anticipate favor
able developments shortly. The great
trouble is the scarcity of horses. Seven

How the Roosevelt Family Will
Spend Christina

Washington, Dec 24.-Eighty-seven
big turkeys We're distributed to the
White House policemen, messengers,
ushers, servants, gardeners and stable
men today with the compliments of the
president. Each turkey haG on it a
card bearing the seasons compliments.
The distribution was the largest ever
made at the White House. President
Mckinley always gave turkeys to the
employees but the list of recipients was
never so large as that of today. The
turkeys are distributed by Henry
Pinckney. the White House steward.
Express wagons. mail carriers and
messengers bore numerous packages to
the White House today-presents to the
Roosevelt family from friends and ad-
mireFs throughout the country. Many
of the packages were for the children
who will not be allowed however, to
have them until tomorrow.
The programme at the White House
tomorrow will follow the custom of the
family in former years. There will be
no Christmas tree as a tree never has
been a part of the celebration Of Christ
mas in the Roosevelt family. The
children, however, all hang up their
stockings, and they will arise early to-
morrow to visit them and ascertain
what Santa Claus has left for them
Later in the morning the children will
assemble in the library, there to receive
gifts from their father and mother. In
the afternoon the Roosevelt juveniles
will go to the home of their uncle and
aunt, Captain and Mrs. Cow1es to see Il
pretty Christmas tree and receive their
presents. The Christmas dinner will he
served at 7:30 and only the family will
be present.
On Thursday, If the weather permits,
1T is probable that the Roosevelt family,
including the president will go down the
Potomac river on cruise Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., is going on a hunting
trip with DR.. Fdxey and is very anxious
that his father should accompany him.
The president is inclined to do so, if
public business will permit. Even if the

intention of Mrs. Roosevelt and some of
the other children to accompany Dr..

friends that the publishers of McClures
Magazine had offered to the senator the
use of their pages to correct any mac
curacies in the White article, or to
make any answer he desires. The edi-

ment had no comment or statement to

ry Edward, the eldest. is more than
six feet tall and is athletic. Frank is
not particularly robust, but Harry, the
youngest, is an athlete
Young Mr. White, who has lived in
the west all his life. is short and stocky.
He weighs about 200 pounds, but is in
fine physical condition. He rarely
comes to New York.
The White episode has brought to the
surface indications of combined effort
to depose Platt as a political power. 1t
is said that a coalition is forming by
Roosevelt, Governor Odell and Mayor
Low, looking to the nomination of
Roosevelt in 1904, denomination of Odell
and the election of Low or Lieutenant
Governor Woodruff for United States
senatorial without the aid or assist
ance of Platt.
