the appearance of the 'red and brown
house." as it has been dubbed by way
of distinction from the White House,
would suggest that it had not always
been used for its present purposes. The
cabinet meeting was held in a large
room back of the parlor, and the pres
ident's meals were served in the dining
room just back of that one which is as
commodious for luncheon and dinner
parties as the family dining room in
the White House.
The president owes the comfort to

1t will be Lady Curzon's first visit to
the United States since her marriage,
and Mrs. Letter is making elaborate
preparations to entertain her during
her soiourn at Bar Harbor Lord Cur
zon will not accompany his wife, as he
is dcbarred by statute from leaving
India so long as he continues to hold
his office as viceroy.
Lady CurZon was formerly Miss
Mary Letter of Chicago Her father,
Levi Letter, made a vast fortune in
the dry goods trade in company with
Marshall Field and Potter Palmer and
later increased it by judicious invest
ments in Chicago real estate
Miss Mary Victoria Letter was mar
ried to George CurZon in Washington
in 1895. She was then in her twenty
eighth year. In 1898 Lord CurZon was
appointed viceroy of India, which is
the greatest gift the British govern
ment has to bestow.
As vice queen of 300,000,000 of peo-
pie the American girl became mt once a
power in the most exclusive society of
the world The courts of Calcutta and
Simla are far more magnificent than
St James or any other in Europe. The
vicerOy of India ranks as ruler. and
his wife is second only to the ladies of
the royal family of England.
The actual stipend of the viceroy of
India is 10000 rupees a month, and his
allowances are countless. The pay of
the viceroy is five times greater than
that of the prime minister of England,
and his sway extends from the shores
of Arabia to the borders of western
China.

Power of womnn's Laugh.

Women very generally neglect pow
erful weapon of offenSe and defense
placed at their command by nature.
A woman's laugh, If intelligently and
skllfully used, can wither n man in his
tracks or elevate him to the seventh
heaven of happiness.
Several causes have contributed to
the decadence of womans laughter.
The chief one perhaps is the modern
habit of dressing. Full. free laughter
depends upon a perfect development
and exercise Of the respiratory mus
Giles. Confined as these are by steel
and whalebone laughter becomes an
impossibility.
With the loss of the art of laughing
comes a loss of the sense of humor.
When the expression of any of the
senses becomes difficult the sense itself
dwindles. Don't mistake giggling for
laughter

"Say, fellows, tonight We'll go and
have a swim in the river. It's hot
enough to be there now! Look out, here
comes another load!"
Then all conversation ceased, for the
roar of the coal made it impossible for
any one to hear his own voice; but the
breaker boys had a way of getting
around this. They began mimicking
each other, and speaking with eyes,
lips and hands. Nearly all of them

Just before he reached the ragged.
white-washed fence that run around
the apple orchard Danvers paused and
drew from his pocket a small. oval
framed picture. For second, he smiled
regretfully at the dainty. bruno face
that laughed up into his eyes. Then
with sudden petulance, he thrust the
miniature into his breast and strobe
rapidly toward the small revolving
gate, through that and on among the
low-boughed autumn apples.
A seven days voyage, composed
chiefly of NAL de mer and a rain-slop-
ped deck, had not served to stimulate
the tagging spirits that had commence
ed their downward course on the day
before he left Heidelberg. And the trip
from New York to Chicago brought no
recompense; nothing in fact, beyond a
einder-grimed and exceedingly anxious
countenance.
AS he neared the familiar hedge of
wild-rose behind which reposed an
old-fashioned, vine-laced hotel, his
heart sank within him. Three years
ago he had told Dolly Pemberton good
by on it's great slanting porch and gone
Forth to win fame and wealth that he
might lay them at the feet of his lady
love.

Instead of flushing this time, the

ing feverishly. He was thinking of the
widowed mother in a distant village,
who was hoping and waiting for her
boy to provide a home for her in the
mining village.
Silence fell on the breaker boys
around, and, as if ashamed of what
they had done, they avoided looking at
him. Charlie was indifferent to their
looks. He cared little now that his ST.
lence and reserve had made him I'M
popular. He realized that his manners
had been misinterpreted by his COM
panions, and they had a right to their
opinion of him.
In half an hour the incident seemed
partly forgotten, and the boys joked
and grimaced at each other again, dis
torting their faces until they looked
almost i1ideous with their coating of
black coal dust. While enjoying par
ticularly quiet lull in the operation of
the machinery, they began shouting
back and FORTH and making merry at

of boys behind him:
They told me all--how they threw

was turned. think they can deal
better with you now than 1 can. They
are not bad at heart, but a little rough
fun goes a long way with them. Your
brave action this day warmed their
hearts, and now"
The mans voice was interrupted.
There was a rush from the ranks of
the breaker boys, and Charlie sudden
ly found himself roughly handled. He
could not resist the rush. and he was
flung up in the air. and when he land
ed on two broad shoulders he offered
no further resistance. Twice around
the village and breaker he was ear
ried on their shoulders, while they
shouted and yelled like wild Indians.
Then they built a bonfire, and danced
around 1T, and made Charlie speak and
have a good time generally.
