ands, Ruled Over a Pasha's
Household,

According to the story told by Miss
Davis NARROW, formerly of Philadel-
phia, who has recently returned to
this country, she has had many thrill
ing adventures during the past few
years. She was captured by Turkish
brigands and sold to a wealthy pasha,
who kept her prisoner and made her
queen of his harem.
Miss NARROW, it is alleged, made her
escape from her luxurious prison with
the aid of one of her fellow prisoners.

According to Miss Marlow's story
her father, who was a fruiterer in Phil

with native of Turkey. She was at
that time 16 years old and very beauti-
full. Her fathers partner paid her

MRS. LODGES HAT.
How the Presidents Wife Came to
Wear 1t When Sitting for
Portrait.

1t is not often that woman in this
day and time can boast an immortal
piece of headgear, and it is probable
Mrs. Lodge, wife of the United States
senator, is the only woman in this
country who has this distinction.
Mrs. Lodges hat figures as a promi
nent feature of the Chartran pOr-
trait of Mrs. Roosevelt now in Paris
and which will later hang upon the
walls of the white house.
1t happened in the most natural
manner imaginable. Mrs. Lodge ac-
cOmpanied Mrs. Roosevelt for her
first sitting for the portrait and at
the time Mrs. Roosevelt wore black
hat and her long, black visiting coat,
the latter to cover the white silk
dress in which she had decided to sit
for the portrait. The artist liked the
outer garment and hat effect so much
he prevailed upon Mrs. Roosevelt to
give her sittings in hat and coat.

the executive mansion as a back
ground.
Inc nat worn by MIS-. hoOSeNelI
was trifle small and the artist
casually commented on the fact.
Mrs. Lodge wore a large black pic
ture hat and the exchange was quick
~ made. Looking from the portrait
to the hat of Mrs. Lodge at the tea
given by the French ambassador
when the portrait was first shown
the public, some of their friends dis.
covered the exchange of hats, and
laughingly commented on the hat be-
coming feature of the future his
tory of the white house.

TURKS PROTECT WOMEN,
1t Is n Capital Ofense to Offer an In
dignity to One of the Sex
in Public.

Turkey is no place for the mash
err. In the sultan's domain, if he
follow his custom as he does in Amer
lea, he would soon find himself with
out an occupation and without a
head, for death is the portion of all
who insult women in public places
Miss Florence \. Fansham, an Eng
lishwoman, who is dean of the Amer
lean college for girls at Constanti-
nople, says the condition of women
in Turkey is not as abiect as it is
commonly supposed to be in this
country. "ro illustrate the power
which these women have said Miss
Fansham, lit is matter beyond dis
pute that polygamy in the present
generation is fast giving way, not
from moral conviction on the part Of
the Turk SO much as from lack of
means to support large establish
ments. Why, of the Turks of the
present generation? First, because
the country is impoverished and an
cestral estates have decreased in
value; but what is far more signif-
cant is that where formerly the three
or four legal wives a man might
have would live together in a harem
under a single roof now there must
be as many establishments equally
well equipped as there are wives, for
the Turkish wives will not live to-
gether in the same house. What is
this but an assertion of inalienable
right?
Still more, it is an acknowledged
fact that the women of Turkey con
troll most of the government appoint
ments To quote from a work recent
ly published by one lone resident in
the country: The women hold ulti-
mate sway over the conduct of the
men. The tangled intrigues for place
and power which center in the harem
form the key to many vicissitudes of
Turkish history
Now, what eastern woman, what
ever her nationality may be, needs
and is eager for is education. The in
fiuences which have brought her to
feel this need are not difficult to find.
Oriental people are naturally gifted,

NOT ALL SMART.
A Little Tale with q Moral Which
Each Of Us May Take Home to
Ourselves,

An ornithologist invited an ichthy-
ologist to walk in the woods With
him, writes Charles Battell LOOMS.

and the Ornithoiogist said: IL suppose
you know that the crow"
IL know nothing about birds"
"But surely you have heard that the
cuckoo"
IL do not know hawk from a
handsaw, l am sorry to say"
Eyes, but you surely have heard so
common thing as the fact that the
swallow never"
my friend, know less than moth
ing about birds"
They finished their walk, and the
ornithologist went home and said to
his wife:
The man with whom l walked to-
day in the woods is woefully ignorant.
How can man go through life with
so little knowledge of the things about
him?"
The next day the ichthyologist invit-
ed the ornithologist to walk along the
sea-cliffs with him.
So they walked together, and on the
cliffs doltish fellow was standing.
Good morning." they said to him.
but he only stared at them, OPEN
mOuthed.
"A fool" cried both.
And the ichthyologist said to the
ornithologist: "Of course you know
that the blue fish of these waters"
Il know nothing about fish"
but surely you have heard that the
swordfish-"
II would not know a cod from kid,

eyes, but you surely have heard so
common thing as the fact that por-
poise never"
MY friend, know less than nothing
about fish"
At this point the ichthyologist was
so impressed by his friends ignorance
of common things that he did not mind
ms steps and fell off the cliffs into the
sea, and not knowing how to swim
he called to his friend for help.
"Alas, I do not know how to SWIM"
said the ornithologist.
More of his ignorance" said the
ichthyologist as he went down for the
second time.
But the dolt had been watching,
open-eyed, and he plunged into the sea
and, swimming out to the ichthyolo-
gist, he saved him.
Moral-Each one of us has his spe-
cial brand Of ignorance.

GRIZZLY'S DRAMATIC DEATH.
Ihe tray Terror of the Idaho Hills
Will No Longer Deal Death and
Destruction.

Big Foot. the gray terror of the
Idaho hills, is dead at last. The giant
grizzly closed his career with an orgy
that included the killing of about 30
horses in one week. and the ranchers
throughout the wide region where he
operated are rejoicing that he will not
rob them any more.
When Tom Hopper, the veteran
hunter of Spokane, arrived in Lewis
ton with party of amateurs, in
GLIDING D. G. Holbrook, South Da-
kota drummer, and announced that
they were going after Big Foot the
natives, on Toms account, 'reckoned
there'd be somethin' doin'."
AS nearly as they could find out
Big Foot was about 40 miles from
Lewiston in an untraveled wilder
ness. There were three feet of snow
on the ground all the way, but that did
not deter them. They wandered
about for five days before the dogs
got on to his track. Then they made
camps and the dogs trailed Big Foot
up to a hole among some rocks on
high ridge overlooking tributary of
the Snake river.
Big Foot was so surprised by the
sudden attack Of the dogs that he
started to run. The dogs kept at his
heels and the race continued until
the hunters were far behind and
cursing their luck that their magniti-
cent quarry was out Of range.
But Big Foot changed his route.
Making dctour of the top of
ridge. he raced at top speed down
the other side. noting little of what
was ahead of him.
Right below him was the camp and
Holbrook and another member of the
party were there. Holbrook saw the
great brute coming like cyclone
and grabbing his Winchester he fired.
1t was n lucky shot. The grizzly
rolled over dead with Il bullet in his
heart. Fifteen dead horses were
found within two miles Of the point
where the bear had made his den,
says the New York World The ami
NAL was skinned and the hide is to
be mounted.

RelIc Found In sootIand.

An interesting relic of the Roman
occupation Of Scotland has just been
discovered during building operations
at Falkirk, in the form of a large
stone, about nineteen inches broad, ten
inches thick, over four feet high and
weighing probably half a ton. 1t is
beautifully sculptured in high relief.
The ornamentation is divided into two
panels, the larger one being at the top.
These panels are separated by band
about one and a half inches broad,
which is carried round both panels,
meeting at an angle at the top Of the
stone Under the angle is beautiful
shell-hke device, delicately executed.
The upper panel is completely filed
by horse and rider, the warrior car
rying sword triumphantly aloft. The
figure is pictured in full armor and
bears a shield The lower panel repre-
sents a naked mana wild Celt, pre-
sumably-prone on the ground, his
shield and weapon lying beside him.
The profile is perfect and the stone is
in a complete state of preservation.

PLACE OF PENANCE
Alcatraz Island Where Frank Rakowss viii Suffer.

"Ten years Imprisonment in the mil
itary prison at Alcatraz island will be
likely to cause regret in the heart of
Frank Rakowski, the common soldier
who threatened the life of President
Roosevelt" said an ex-regular. THE
telegraph dispatches tell the story of
the remark that will cause this soldier
ten years of hard work and then dis
honorable discharge.
"Alcatraz island is a rock in San
Francisco bay. 1t is some two or three
miles from shore, and rises high above
the mainland. But one boat, that a
government charge, lands there, and
this only at certain times of the day
never at night. No one is allowed to
go near the island, and no one lands
unless he has permission. Sentinels
guard the rock-bound coast and
perched high in the center of the is
land is a tower, in which there is al
ways a sentinel on duty. He can see
every part of the little island from this
post. Guard duty only comes to the
soldiers of the two batteries of artillery
stationed there, but the prisoners work
during the day.
"a load of them is taken daily to
the Preside, well guarded, and work
throughout the day around the post, in
the national cemetery, and out toward
the Golden Gate in the big piece of
rolling land, a beautiful spot, with a
fine view of the outer bay and the
ocean. 1t was near here that the aw-
full catastrophe in which Consul Wild
man, coming home from Hong-Kong,
lost his life. Many lives were sacri-
feed by the boat striking a rock in the
night, while trying to enter the har-
Dor. There is an old Spanish fort near.
Some $50 government prisoners are
usually kept at Alcatraz island. They
are known by numbers, and their
names are almost forgotten even by
themselves. On their uniform overalls
are great white or red numbers that
denote whether they are in for long
or short terms. These numbers are on
their backs, just above one knee, and
again on the back Of the leg. The
sentinels are instructed to shoot to kill
after calling once to the prisoner to
halt.

Ways Of Misers
HoNrdors of Money Find Queer Hiding Places For It.

1t may not be entirely sanitary or
perfectly convenient to wear the same
petticoat eleven years without ever
taking it off, but there are probably
many people who would do it for ST.
700. That is what Mrs. Lee of Jersey
City did, and now her son William,
who found the money after she died,
is trying by law to get it back from the
man he loaned it to. If he had fol-
lowed his mothers example and worn
the petticoat he would have his money
still.
1t is not on record that the posses
sion of the money did Mrs. Lee any
good. She saved her earnings while
employed as nurse in a hospital in
Baltimore and when she left she put
the money in a chamois bag and sewed
1t into her petticoat There she kept
it continually, night and day, for the
next eleven years, and when she was
dying she took the petticoat off, hand
ed it to her son, and said
Here, William, is your heritage.
Search it well. 1t is worth more than
you would think"
William searched accordingly and
found the funds, but willy man got
them away from him, and now he is
poor again.
