HOW MEN MAKE LOVE-
Some Do Il in n Grandi1oruent MaG-
aer and Fail to Make an
Impression.

All sorts Of men in all kinds OF
conditions have made love to me.
While I won't say that 1 loved them
all in return, they-that is those
who sent me fruits and flowers and
bonbons, not diamonds and gems,
succeeded best with me. Stage WON
en- don't want big things; it is the
trides that touch their hearts, says
Marie Dressler, in St. Louis Post
Dispatch.
Handsome men have never succeed
ed with me. They are generally too
overbearing and make you feel as Il
they did you favor by making love
to you. The little gentlemanly things
g man does win woman's heart.
7 like a man Who takes his hat of
in my presence and the cigar out OF
his mouth the moment I come neal
him; who rises from the table and
remains standing while I am being
seated.
I like the man who 6ivines when I
feel draft and gets up to slut the
window even if.it is in a garden.
The man who wants to win my
heart mustn't do these things only
for a few weeks, while I an getting
Interested in him, but keep right on
doing them,
The straightest way to a woman's
heart is by small and geutlc1nanly
courtesies. It never fails. The man
who showers diamonds and costly
presents upon woman is usually
very ostentatious about it. The fel.
low who comes along with a bunch
of flowers or bonbon box makes
you feel as if you did him an honor
to accept. his present. He'll win
where the other will get the cold
shoulder.
Love-making is an art which wo1n-
en- understand much better than men.

Chinese FEn.

A man asked friend to stay and
have tea. Unfortunately, there was
no tea in the house, so servant
was sent to borrow some. Before the
latter had returned the water was
already boiling, and it became neces-
sary to pour in more cold water.
This happened several times, and at
length the boiler was overfowing, but
no tea had come. Then the mans
wife said to her husband: "As we
don't seem likely to get any tea, you
had better offer your friend bath!"

THE Chicago Chronicle says:
"The Chicago and Kansas City
platforms are still responsible
for disorganization and defec-
ton" But how does it account
for Ohio? The Chronicle was
hilariously happy when the

and happier still when it gave
prominence to Democrats bear

Exceptionally heavy rainfalls often
occur, sometimes with disastrous ef-
fects. For periods of five minutes rain
falls have occurred at Bismarck, n. D.,
at the rate Of nine inches per hour, at
Jacksonville, Fla, at the rate of seven
inches, and at Galveston, Tex, at the
rate of 61h inches. In periods Of 60
minutes rain has fallen at these three
stations at the rate OF over two inches
ger hour; at Galveston at the rate CT
2h inches. One inch Of rainfall is equiv.
alent to 27,154 gallons of 226,ooo pounds
on each and every acre of the wetted
area. Rainfall at the rate of nine
inches per hour represents a fall OF 49,
SOC pounds, or 4,o73 gallons, per min

Story Told BY Nan Who Says He

Little Fortune-Eis Escape From
Louisville-The Utmost Limit Of

FURNISHING HIMSELF.
Remorse and Self-AfictiOn Could
Not Restore Lost Fortune of
Drunken Miner.

A curious story is told of an ac-
quaintance by an American miner.
He says that the man was known in the
camp as quiet but determined man.
He was well liked by the men who knew
him, but he was averse to the dissipa-
tions common among the miners of the
district.
While working at a place called
Cripple Creek, several miles from Dem
yer, he made strike of several thou
sand dollars. He took his haul to Den
yer, and there, contrary to his usual
habit, he succumbed to temptation and
engaged in a prolonged debauch. He
did not become sober until all his
money was gone. Then he realized his
folly and was exasperated at the be-
sotted idiocy by which he had lost
fortune in a few days.
Money was offered him to pay his
way back to the mines, but he refused
to borrow a cent. He set out to walk
the whole distance. A man who was
driving a team in the direction he was
going overlook him and offered him
ride, but the miner refused it. He
trudged along doggedly, and the team
ster overheard him muttering to him
self: walk, walk, you miserable fooll
Drink and gamble, will you? Then
walk-it'u do you good. No, you
needn't stop at spring; go dry, you
sot, you've drunk enough. Go on and
walk-it serves you right. Walk
walk"
And the man did walk until he
reached his shanty, and sullenly re-
sumed his work. Doubtless the self
remorse, but it could not restore his
wasted fortune.

Leopoldville required Ave years. The
negroes were treated like slaves, the
Belgian oyerseers whipping them un-
mercifully. The results were so dis
appointing that they were afterward
employed like the Belgian laborers
and paid in accordance with the
amount of work performed. They
were so impressed by the fact that in
creased effort brought payment in
proportion that the remainder of the
road, PIG miles, was completed in four
years, proving that "a mans a man
for "a that"
Their being amenable to religious
teaching to a remarkable degree goes
to prove that the members of the Con-
go tribes may yet be made useful
members of society. People who have
inherited their Christianity might
even profit by their example. A mis-
sionary states that in one of their
villages a school had been formed and
they had erected a church. They so
rejoiced in their newly-found religious
experiences that they began to con-
slider the condition of their regenera to
neighbors, of the heather natives
across a great river who had not, like
themselves, been blessed by Christian
teaching. They said: "Those people
know nothing of Jesus, while we are
saved. What shall we do?" In order
to find fitting answer to this query
they held special meeting and gave
the matter long and careful consider
alton. The river was full of croco-
dies, the crossing dangerous, the dis
lance too great for an easy return
journey. Several days must be spent
among those heather" who would,
very likely, treat them with great vio-
lence. Yet so Congo church members
crossed the river and preached during
three days so earnestly that they left
converts behind them on their return.
Now a church of 20 members is estab-
lished in that village, who are work.
ing with excellent results among their
neighbors. The negro temperament
is emotional and responds quickly to
religious teaching. The railroad ex-
perience seems to indicate also that
they are not Indifferent to the "main
chance" But it would take long and
optimistic look into the future to dis
Germ in them theologians, fnanciers
and politicians.

And nurse began to cry.
Mrs. Russell rose hastily from her
seat.
"Why! whatever can have happened
to the child" she cried. Then, like
fash, the memory of the mornings
conversation came to her.
And hastily DOMINIC a simple sailor
hat, she sailed forth.
About ten minutes before this a tall
man, shabbily dressed, yet with the
look of one who had seen better days,
was entering the castle and Banner"
when he was startled by a clear,
childish voice addressing him.
IF you please, sir, are you very
thirsty?" it said, because there is
such nice fountain in the square, and
you can have as much drink as you
like there for nothing, and it won't
make you silly, and you won't have a
headache tomorrow"
The man looked down angrily, but
his face softened as he met the gaze
of Charities innocent eyes.
"Who sent you to tell me that ?" he
said, gruffly.
"No one sent me-" said the child,
"but | felt sure that nobody would be
so silly as to drink the nasty stuff they
sell in here if they knew there was
water. So came to tell YOU

something in the situation seemed to
appeal to his sense of humor. He
smiled grimly as he spoke again.
81 have heard of water, my little
man; but somehow or other like this

"Oh, do you?" said Charlie, wistful-
ly; then doesn't it ever make you
silly?"
A hot, painful flush spread duskily
over the mans face.
Sometimes it does; not often" he
said.
Water never Does" said the child,
eagerly. "Oh, please, sir, let me show
you the fountain"
'Well, all right" said the man, half
reluctantly. 81 can call in here on my
way back" he muttered to himself.
"Oh, thank you'll" cried Charlie, de-
lightedly, and slipping his little hand
into the mans, he turned to go.
But the hand he clasped was drawn
away.
Don't do that" said the man.
"Your mother wouldn't like to see you
holding my hand"
"Oh, yes she would" he said, in sur
prise; why shouldn't she?"

Charlie, confidingly, land l wear very
