FRENCH PROFANITY.
The Experience of Man who Tried
TO Learn II.

III srman KDickerbocker Viele, author
OF The Inn of the Silver Moon" gives
an amusing account of his efforts to ac-
quire French profanity. Upon his first
visit to the land OF the lively Gaul he
was provided with vocabulary that
served its purpose only SO long as things
went well. When things went i'll, he
found himself without natural outlet
for his feelings. Accordingly he set to
work to find out what Frenchmen say
when they are mad
The first experiment was at a res
taurant, when from neighboring table
he overheard slight dispute between
the waiter and n guest The guest had
ordered small bottle of red wine, and
the waiter had brought large bottle of
white wine.
Il do not want it," said the guest.
81 am sorry" said the waiter, "but
monsieur must drink it, for, unfortunate
~. the cork is drawn"
Mr.. yiele waited breathless for the ex-
plosion.
''This," said the Freuehman, bringing
his hand down with violence to the table,
sis very extraordinary! C'est bien ex-
traordinaire--no more-aud the waiter
quailed before it. The traveller made a
note Of the expression and uses it still
when much provoked, but he waited sew
eral days for another lesson.
This came on the top of an omnibus.
All the seats were taken. but stout
man insisted upon climbing up. AT first
he contented himself with wabbiing from
one pair of feet to another, but presently
he attempted to insert himself between a
slender person and his wife. The slen
der one bore this in silence until more
vigorous wriggle on the part of the in
truder knocked off his hat. Then, goad-
ed past endurance, he exclaimed, Mon
sieur ees not polite! The stout man
climbed down abashed by merited re-
buke, and the traveller made another
note.
This was not encouraging, but Mr..
Viele did not give up fope till one day he
nearly was run down by a cab, and, hav-
ing no "cuss word at hand, he raised
his cane and gave the offender a sharp
rap on the shoulders. 1t was rash act,
that might have brought trouble, but ap-
prehension faded before the joy of prom
ised knowledge. The cabman dashed his
horse and, going. turned across his shout
der to make face.
'Soiled pigw he called back angriy.
The novelist gives these as his reasons
for believing the French unequal to the
demands of golf

COST OF KEEPING CLEAN.
One of the Masculine Gender Keeps
an Account.

"Did you ever stop to think about how
much il costs TO keep man clean, to
keep in what the " orld would call a pre-
sentable condithnT' asked rather fas-
tidious gentleman yesterday. who also
has an eye 20 the economical side of life.
at Is no small thing when You come to
think dbout it, and independent of the
things a man is required to buy during
the year the bill will run up - a rather
neat sum. A man is forced to buy many
things which are never counted in the
cost of living when he foots up the bill at
the end OF the year. and yet they tell in
the aggregate when it comes to his bank
account and his income generally. But
was thinking of the plain. ordinary prop
osition of keeping oneself clean. Take,
for instance, the matter of laundry. The
average cost to n single man is at least
so cents a week. and frequently the bill
runs much above this figure. Clean
clothes on this basis will cost $26 year.
Then there is fellows barber bill, the
cost of shayes, shampoos, hair cuts and
shines and baths, and all these things
tend to run the bill up.
"Supposing that a man will take two
shaves every week-and this is the aver
age--this would make a total of 104
shaves during the year, and at the mini
mum price Of 10 cents for each shave it
would amount at the end of the year to
5000. Baths, on an average of one each
week and ut a cost of % cents for each
bath, would cost Sl3 u year. Ii he aver
ages two shines a week at the minimum
OF cents for each shine, the bill will
amount TO 500 for year. One hair cut

WHAT CIVILIZATION DOES.
A Party of Young Lady Teachers Be
ing Escorted by an Indian.
Denver Republican,.

The Oxford hOtei yesterday enter
tained one of the most unique par
ties that has been in Denver for long
time-four white women escorted by a
full-blooded Ojibway Indian. The
women were the Misses Katie McDon-
aid. Rose X. Watson, Helena X. Wer-
red man in charge was John Edwards.
All are from the Indian school at Ft.
Lewis, Colorado, where the women are
teachers and the Indian the school
carpenter,
They are on their way to the meet
ing of the National Educational Asso-
citation at Detroit July 8 to 12. After
the convention they will go to the
Buffalo exposition, still under the es-
cort of the Indian. A tour through
the south will end their journey. The
party arrived from Fort Lewis at 2
o'clock this afternoon and left at 4
o'clock
"The school at Fort Lewis has more
than 800 scholars said Miss Mcpon-
aid. 1T was formerly an army post,
and the buildings are scattered over a
large area. but that Is about the only
particular In which 1t differs from any
other schools. Elementary branches
up to the seventh grade are taught
there, and industrial arts are taught
as thoroughly as possible. The Indi-
ans make very good mechanics and ar
tisans, and their hearts are SO wrap
ped up in their work that they have no
time for mischief. so the school is ac-
tually more orderly than any other
that have ever taught in and l am
not without experience in school work
The Indians have abandoned their old
tribal customs, and wear civilized
dress and can read and write English

III Tell-you-ride.
Some 399 of Durango's 400 donned
titeir finest raiment and fiimsiest fab
ric yesterday afternoon to attend the
ball game at the fair grounds. The
grand stand presented Kaleidoscope
array OF masculine and feminine beau
ty that would make an average fash
ion plate look like 30 cents.
yTrose who were so fortunate as to
be present had the satisfaction of see
ing the home team scour the terra
firma with the doughty Senators from
the San Miguel metropolis. At no
stage of the game were the Telluride
boys in it. The distinguished repre-.
sentatives used all manner of parlia-
mentary tactics and argued the matter
with the speaker pro and con, but it
was no go, and they were compelled
to take back seat.
The game was called promptly at
2:3O" about 3:45. Telluride won the
toss-up and took the first inning and
one score. Durango swung the will
low with such effect in the second half
of the first that nine straight marks
graced the board before the sleeping
Senators awoke to the fact that a
good-sized house bill was being rail-
roaded through.
In the second both sides retired in
one, two, three orGar. Telluride
scared man home in the third. and
Durango became SO frightened at this
sudden burst of speed that they mark
ed theirs with a round hole. Not TO
be outdone in generosity, the visitors
registered in the same manner IL the
first of the fourth. Then Forat ard
Anglim each put a three-bagger where
it gould do the most good, and Duran
go counted twice. Telluride thought
it was time to be doing something, and
followed with two in the fifth, while
the Smelter City fans contented them
selves with one. Three goose-eggs
was the exchange of courtesies in the
sixth. At the beginning of the mag
ic seventh, Dutton of the Tellnrides
swatted two-bagger and succeeded
eventually in finding the home plate.
Hendrickson tailed up with one for
Durango. Both sides counted with
circular marks in the eighth. The
first of the ninth put Ave to the credit
of the Senators. leaving the score IL
to 10 in favor of the Durango team.
Just to see how far they could run
1T in. the last half of the ninth was
played and the home team cut OF
two more. Not being able to find
anything in the rules that would fur
nish an excuse for more innings. the
game was declared won by Durango
