HARRY LEFiR'S RETURN.

Harry Lehr, who has been identified
as the original of one Of the characters
in The Mirror serial story, "The Uni.
tator," returned from Europe with his
wife the other day. A New York paper
published the following news item con-
corning the event. Mr.. and Mrs. Lehr
we're among the first Of the cabin pass
engers to leave the ship, and when it
came to getting their trunks past the
customs officers Mr.. Lehr attempted
some Of those pushing methods which
advanced him 30 far in society and in
the wine business. In his efforts to
break the line and obtain attention be-
fore his turn, Mr.. Lehr came to grief,
and the net result was that he
was thirty minutes longer on the
pier than more quiet persons who were
content to wait their turn. Meanwhile,
his bride. who was Mrs. John Vinton
Dalhgren Of Baltimore. sat on trunk
attended by maid and wondered what
had become OF her husband.
The other cabin passengers were 90
disgusted with Lehr that they made a
united protest to Colonel Storey. deputy
surveyor in charge Of the customs in.
spectors. and the colonel sternly ordered
Lehr away back to the end of the long
line Of waiting passengers, to have his
baggage attended to last. By the time
his trunks were examined and checked
only single carriage was waiting, and

ming them up for another season. Inis'
then, is the time when it is best to trans
form them into lampshades. Most charm
ing as lamp shades they become. espec-
isIly for summer houses and verandas.
To carry out the scheme is simple
matter. Leghorns or very large garden
hats of rough straw are the most deslr-
able. First should the top OF the crown
be cut out, when already. as can be i'm
agined. the hat will assume somewhat
the shape.of lamp shade. Under
peath it should then be wired up and
down as we'll as about the top and bot
tom, that it may be held in shape and
bent gracefully, for, above all else. these
shades must have . free, ioppy appear.
suce. They do not look we'll il at oil
stiff. The trimming consists mostly OF
artificial flowers and grasses which
many women have on hand from hats Of
preceding summers. Long. deep green
grasses are usually hung about the low
or edge ss . fringe. II, however. the
edges are not in good condition it looks
very we'll to put about them ruff Of
pinked out taffeta ribbon, either to
match or contrast with the color Of the
straw. A leghorn. for instance. would
be most effective with grass green ruff
about the edges and few large red
poppies scattered over it's surface. Some
times flowers that one has 10 the house
are faded, but even then their colors can
be intensified by painting them sfresh
with either tapestry dyes or water col
ors. Many old strsws can be helped by
touching them up judiciously.
On the other hand. 90 pretty are these
straw lamp shades that it is quite worth
while to buy the hats, should they not
be forthcoming iu any other way. Late
in the season many decorative ones are
sold at remarkably low prices. To be
effective they should always be large.
Deep yellow ones Of rough straw trim
med with buttercups and grasses are
unusually pretty and cast golden glow
when the lamps under them are lighted.
The wholly green ones also are restful
and attractive.
When particular style or color Of
straw is desired. it we're best to buy it
by the yard, and then sew it together
over wire frame. 1t is also in this way
that the similar and very email shades
for candlesticks are made, ard which
are quite enchanting as they decorate
the four corners Of a table, or cast a
glimmer from some dark corner of the
veranda. Kansas City Star.

EDITORS DRAMATIC ENTRANCE

That widely known editor, even though the father of a still more fam ous son, is sometimes caught off his guard was shown at a recent meeting in Philadelphia.
 1t was great mass meeting at one of the theaters. Every seat was oc- cupied and crowds besieged the rn- frances. So turbulent was the crowd even at the stage door that it was lock- ed on the inside. The messenger boys for the newspapers were let out and in through a window of the green room. The boys had to climb high picket fence, jump down into an in- clousure, chamber up on a window sill and then, when the window was open ed drop down to the floor inside.
 One of the boys had jJrst been ad- mitted. But before the window could be closed there loomed up on the high sill the form of man. He was well dressed and of distinguished appear ance He had scaled the pointed iron pickets at the. imminent risk of body and raiment, had clambered to the sill, and stood there poised like a. bird about to flutter down from a tree branch. His knees were crooked for the spring.
 Hello, there Go back, you r cried a policeman.
 A shade of pained annoyance came over the climbers face.
 My good man, I'm Mir"
 Don't care! Can't get in; get backv'
 Tie man became a trifie sembarrass- ed. but consistently held his place. Still keeping his knees crooked i'll their birdlike position be fumbled in his pocket and drew forth card.
 I'm newspaper man. See Here's my police card"
 The policeman became tolerantly suave at once, and the man dropped to the floor, strengthened his coat and cuffs and walked smilingly to the stage. It was l.. Clarke Davis, editor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger and the father of Richard Harding Davis. Saturday Evening Post.

Arguing from the belief that the people endorsed the government of this country by trusts. when they reelected MT Mckinley, as Senator Hanna has several times practically said they did, the choice of F. c. Knox, who has grown rich by glFing legal advice to trusts, for attorney general in MT Me- Kinley's cabinet was a perfectly logi- cal one. But arguing from the belief that one of the duties of the attorney general should be to utilize the federal laws, such as they are, to try to curb the power of the trusts, as the plain people believe, it was about as illogi- cal choice as could possibly have been made. That Mir Knox is law yer of marked ability Is proven by his having. been employed by the trusts, but to expect him to turn against those who. have made him rich, and from whom he doubtless expects to get more fees. when he leaves the cabi- net, is to expect human nature to re- verse itself. He may not do anything directly for the trusts while he is at torney general, but he will hardly be likely to do anything directly against them or their interests.

 It looks as though the administra- tion were shifting the responsibility of dealing with Aguinaldo upon Gen eral MacArthur's shoulders. At least that is the inference from its having suppressed General MacArthur's cable gram telling how and why Aguinaldo took the oath of allegiance to the Unit ed States; also the instructions sent to Macarthur on the subject It is an old game. If everything goes right it will be announced that General Mac Arthur was acting under instructions from the administration; if there is a slip anywhere that results in public condemnation, it will be said that Gen eral Macarthur acted in his own dis cretion and made a mistake In other words, it is case of heads, Mckinley wins; tails, MacArthur loses.

pier were great sections of steel barges made in Scotland, for use on Russian waterways. Each part of the empire seems to require different kinds of ma- chinery and supplies. At Odessa and Azof seaports, it is q common sight to observe miles of Chicago-made reapers and other agricultural Implements awaiting shipment inland, while at Batum is unloaded machinery for the oil wells, the tubing for the pipe lines being constructed by q Russo-Ameri- can factory in Russia. In the west, machinery for electrical plants, rail way material and mill machinery find their way to Riga and St Petersburg, while in the east the result of the Tzar's .ukase abolishing all tariffs on materials entering Pacific ports of Russia has had the desired effect of vastly increasing Siberia's' commerce with America. Through these Siber- ian ports passed the rails, ties. locomo- tives. and equipment of the Manchur- ian and eastern section of the Trans Siberian railway to say nothing of the iron work for bridges and material for constructing and supplying new cities and workshops. In fact, from one end of Russia to the other, a great field is opening up for the engineer who can explain to his Russian confreres and others the best methods of utilizing the complicated machinery sent into the country by England and America. have seen simple machinery for mills and mines lie idle for months in Asiatic Russfa, because no one could be found who knew how to superin- tend it's erection. In fact, Russia seems to stand to-day where America stood half century ago, on the thres- hold of an industrial prosperity and development which must soon awe the world by its rapid and stupendous growth. It is here that the Goulds, Rockefellers. Huntingtons, Carnegies and Flaglers of the future will spring mn and become all powerful.
