Mr.. SCHwAB, the head OF the Steel
Trust, is setting a very bad example to
young Americans by his gambling at
Monte Carlo. Gambling with tens of
thousands of dollars in famous gaming
house is morally much worse than playing
poker for nickel ante in a private room.
1t helps excuse, approve and make re-
spectacle all gambling. OF course, Mr..
Schwab would properly condemn any of
his subordinates or employees frequentinG
a faro-bank, or policy shop. Why, then
should he do that which is even worse

business, and should have sense of pro-

Little Boy Blue.


The little toy dog is covered with, dust
But sturdy and stanch he stands:
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And his musket molds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was
new
And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when our Little
Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
Now. don't you go till come" he said,
"And don't you make any noise"
So toddling off to his trundle-bed
He dreamt Of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years are
long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Aye faithful to Little Boy Blue they
stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of little hand,
The smile of little face.
And they wonder, as waiting these long
years through
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them
there?

Sad Eyes, Pathetic Droop Made 1t a
Mystery Until Explained.
1t was the usual crowd of we'll
gowned femininity that filed the car,
vending its way matineeward. Every
woman at all young or at all aiming to
be fashionable, wore chain of some
sort from which dangled charms of
every kind and descriptions, lockets,
heart-shaped and round, small gold or
silver purses, lorgnettes and watches.
The girl In the smart black costume,
with exquisite sables, appeared to be
exempt from the prevailing mania, and
therefore became the mark for the at
the atmosphere of the car grew warm.
er she slipped the long fur scarf from
her neck, revealing the fact that so
far from being immune she had
eclipsed all the others in the originality
of her "dangle."
small gold chain was worn around
her neck and fell half way to the
waist. On 1t was key set with dia-
monds. 1t was no caprice of the jew
eler, but the real article, an ordinary
everyday affair such as one wrestles
with at the front door.
Now, what was the romance con-
nected with that very prosaic key
making it worthy to be set with dia-
monds and displayed so prominently
as treasured possession? The sad
eyes of the owner had that misty, far
away look of unshed tears. The Par
isian hat failed to hide the pathetic
droOp Of the graceful head.
Here was story, surely. Imagina-
tion conjured up picture of a betroth-
al rudely broken by the death of the
fiance, the key treasured as memen-
to of the many happy evenings they
had spent together, and the stolen
kisses in the vestibule as he hesitated
before opening the door for her. The
somber gown limited at a loss. The
wistful eyes and sweet lips accentu-
ated the idea.
Or could the key be that of the vault
where the young man had been en-
tombed? Could 1t be? Fancy waxed
more and more grewsome with each
new contemplation of the unusual
charm worn by this fair heroine of
modern romance.
At SiXty-fourth street another very
smart young woman boarded the car,
and with a friendly greeting to the
girl with the key at once opened up a
conversation.

the observer.

GIANT PREHISTORIC BIRD.
Egg of the Epyornis Found OFF the
Madagascar Coast.

Egg of the Epyornis Found OFF the
Madagascar Coast.
The recent finding of an egg Of the
great epyornis floating about in st.
Augustine Bay, on the southwest coast
of Madagascar, has induced party of
Germans headed by Gottlieb Adolf
Krause, the German explorer, to un-
dertake an exploration of the remote
interior of Madagascar in search of
possible living specimens of this great
bird of the post-pliocene period of the
worlds history. The egg may have
come down with the floods from the
unexplored interior of the island, or
NAV have been buried for centuries in
the sand preserved by some curious
freak of nature, and then carried to
sea. Which of these theories Is the
nroner one Professor Krause and his
party will try to discover.
According to biologists, at one time
Madagascar and the islands east of
Africa were one, but that later the
land subsidized and left the islands sep
orated by a strait, and since that time
t,a islands have developed species to
themselves. The climatic changes
which ensued are believed by some to
have exterminated the epyornis. But
others declare that, as the country
changed. the gigantic bird retired deep
Or and deeper into the wilderness,
who're II has remained for centuries
,rithout molestation, unless it has been
,nnihllated by some unknown savage
tribe in the interior, and will be touhd
there to-day. somewhere between the
dasert and the Aukarah Mountains.
The finding of the egg in st. Angus
t,ne Bay has deepened this impression
and Professor Krause will try to es-
toblish the truth of the theory that
the egg is of recent origin ana not
our;onsly preserved through centuries.
Several French adventurers have tried
~ nenetrate into the interior. but they
Sore returned without definite results

animals, which were not accepted as

Taluable by scientists. Possibly the
German explorers may be more for
tunate.
The egg found is the thirty-fourth
in existence, and the largest is 8 by
IA inches In diameter. The bird itself
is believed by scientists TO have been
fully fifteen feet high, and to have
weighed more than ton, far larger
than the ostrich. which is itself a dan
gerous bird TO handle; a blow from
its claws would be fatal Stories of
some such bird in the interior have
long been extant among natives, not
only of Madagascar, but of other coun-
tries, and interest in them has been
awakened by the finding of the new
egg.
The trials the expedition will have to
contend with will be the inhOspitality
Of the inhabitants, scorching heat.
scarcity of water, malarial swamps.
and extreme perils of journeying
through primeval tropical forests. Two
other parties while in search of the
epyornis met death in the burning des-
erts of Kiliarivo, but, with the better
appliances carried by Professor
krause and his party, II is believed
that they will make discoveries that
will prove the existence or non-exist-
ence of this great bird of prehistoric
times, Previous researches have not
been carried on beyond the high table
