The craze for Aiglon novelties APP
pears again among the new laces,
where the wreath and the eagle are
deliberately represented. For skirt
trimming there is a three-inch Mechlin
lace insertion with a wreath of lace
leaves as large as tea plate extending
up at intervals, while inside of this is
a black lace eagle nearly filing the
space, says the New York Sun.
Aiglon belt buckles are distinguished
by laurel wreaths and spread eagles in
gold and silver, and then there is the
Aiglon umbrella handle, which is q
gold ball with an eagle perehed on top.
Roses with most realistic dewdrops
scattered over them have been worn
as hair ornaments all winter, but now
you can purchase the dewdrops by the
dozen and stick them on to suit you,
own fancy. They have some adhesive
substance on the back which assures
their permanent position and are as
! readily disposed of as postage stamps

A DAREDEVIL FEAT.
TWO Men Coast Down Two-Mne
Mountain Side In Wyoming.

Mountain Side In Wyoming.
1t is difficult to imagine more dare
devil and thrilling adventure than that
Of two men sliding down a steep, ice
crusted mountain, one in a prospec-
tfr's pan and the other on a nainel's
shovel. Yet such a hazardous under
taking was accomplished by Pete Nc,
Golf and Yankee Bill" Murphy, min
ers and prospectors in the Sierra
Madre mountains. when they flew like
the wind down the side of the treeless
Quartsite mountain, a distance of two
miles, with a descent of about thirty
five degrees and landed in twenty-five
feet of snowdrift in the 40-foot chasm
OF Cow Creek, a few miles west of
Grand encampment, Wyoming.
Pete and Yankee Bits" love OF adj
venture will brook perils of any kind
and at any time for the pure love of
sport-perils at which the tenderfoot
would stand aghast. Both are known
for the chances they take with their
lives. The greater the danger the
more ready they are to enter into it. 1t
was testing wager simply that they
raced down the mountain side, Pete
in the pan and Yankee Bill" squat
ting on the shovel, both finishing with
record breaker and what might have
been a neck-breaker.
They had climbed to the top of the
peak, over two feet of snow, to wash
out a decomposed quartsite which
showed rusty iron ore, and which led
them to believe they would carry gold.
In the afternoon it turned so cold that
the surface of the mountain resembled
glass. 1t was near shutdown when the
two men finished prospecting and
started to retrace their way down the
mountain. The slippery, iced snow
impeded their progress, making the
journey slow and dangerous at best.
Less than 100 feet down Pete jesting-
ly proposed to Yankee Bill" that they
slide down on the pan and shovel.
'I'll beat YOU" said Pete, suiting the
action to the word by getting into the
pan.
you can't beat me-" replied Yankee
BILL" at the same time squatting down
on his shovel, unmindful of possible
danger.
At first both slid along at a jerky
fashion, for they were obliged to push
themselves along at times. Suddenly,
however, the descent became much
more abrupt, and the two men launch
ed into the ozone and shot down with
accelerating speed like comets through
space. The sensation they felt can
neither be described nor imagined.
They tore down the mountain side like
an avalanche. each holding on to his
metal steed with a vice-like grip. A
mile was covered in apparently an in
slant, when ridge formation turned
them off their course, and they flew
still faster at an acute angle. The 40
foot chasm of Cow creek was newt
able and before they had time to real
ize the danger they had leaped over it's
edge, cleared Cow creek, and, as If
human drills, had bored the snowdrift
twenty-five feet.
When dug out Pete and Yankee
Bill" did not exactly need the coroner,
but there were not enough plasters and
linaments in camp to soothe their
bruises. They came up smiling, how
ever, each stoutly maintaining victory.

QUITS THE MAJOR LEAGUE.
this year

Fielder A. Jones, who has cast his
lot with the Chicago White Stockings
in preference to the Brooklyn National
League team, has been one of the star
outfielders of the league for several
years. He was born in California, and
began his baseball career there as an
amateur. His first professional en-
gagement was with an independent
team in Binghamton, N. Y, in 1895.
Tom Burns was then manager OF the
Springfields of the Eastern League,
and stopped off to play an exhibition
game in Binghamton. Jimmy Callahan
pitched the game for Springfield, and
Jones, who was playing left field
made hit every time at bat, besides
covering all kinds of ground. After
the game Burns made Jones an Offer
to join his team, and the player lef

SAYINGS and DOlNGS

Little GIRL Little girl Little girl!
Don't you hear me calling from the
meadow by the brook,
Where violets are peeping up in every
sunny nook,
Where bluets brave are standing WIN
their faces to the sky,
Watching for CLEANS OF sunshine
through the clouds that scurry
by?
Little boy! Little boy! Little boy!
Don't you hear me calling from the
pussy-willow tree, Us
Where the robins and the pussies live
in peace and harmony,
While the drowsy woodchuck wakens
from his quiet winter nap,
And frisky SQUIRRELS dance in time to
the woodpecker's tap, tap. tap!
Little girl! Little boy! Little grill
Come, I'll tell to you secret that my
sister May told me,
There's to be grand May party down
beside the old oak tree;
All the sweet spring flowers are COM
ing, and the brook and birds
will sing,
And the little girl shall be May queen
and the little boy May King.
Little boyl Little girl! Come and
see!

oh,na,s Diplomatic Minister.

Minister WI Is a diplomat of diplo-
mats. All through the troublous times
of the hostilities in China last sum
mer and fall, and during the negotia-
lions leading up to the signing of the
note at Pekin, Minister WI has re-
manned ON terms of close amity with
the government of the United States.
On election day he went out to near
by Maryland town and studied at close
range the practical exercise of Ameri-
can suffrage. He has been more in de-
mand than any other member of the
diplomatic corps for addresses at con-
ventions and banquets and he has filled
as many OF these engagements as pos
sible. His son goes about Washington
in the uniform of a High School cadet.
A few days ago this wise policy of the
representative of China reached eli
max when the younger WI shouldered
his carbine and marched In the ranks
of the cadets under the stars and
stripes, celebrating the centennial Of
the capital city. In all of his acts
Minister WI has emphasized the desire
of his government to be next with the
United States.

AS the United States pays no civil
pensions neither ex-presidents nor
their widows receive allowances; but
Mrs. Grant and Mrs. GARFIELD are each
recipients of $4,000 year as the wild
ows OF generals in the army. There
were surviving last year four widows
of soldiers who fought In the Revolu-
tion of 1776. the youngest of whom was
eighty-four. No doubt some widows
of civil war pensioners will live to be
centenarians. In that case the open
ing of the twenty-first century will
witness the pertinacious lady cheer
fully signing her voucher. Many
young women have married aged pen
sioners, that they may subsequently
receive life pensions as widows. BY
actuarial calculation, 1t Is odds on
that more than one widow will be
drawing a Spanish-American war pen
sion in the year 2050.
