The splendor Of the MANI

Talking of jewelry, how regretta-
bly, fond is the Marquis of Anglesey
of decking himself out in precious
stones, ''rhe marquis likes wear
ing jeweIry in profusion, doesn't
he ?" asked Mr.. Plowden of the mar
qihs' head valet. "Yes, SIR" was
The reply. And changes his jewels
from time to time during the day :"
"Well, I-er"- "At any rate, he
has Jewels for the morning and Jew
els for the nights" 'EYes, SIR"
If Mr.. Plowden had allowed the
head valet to finish his answer be-
gun by "Well, I-er''- he would
have learned that the marquis has
been known to wear one set of jew
els for the morning. another for the
afternoon, another for the evening
and another for the night; which
is sad, to say the very least. The
very most had better not be said

Olive spent several weeks in Cali
fornia, becoming acclimated, and then
left for Chicago. At several places
along the route receptions were held.
and at Topeka the animal was chris
tened by Miss Emma Kelly. known
as the heroine Of Alaska. Miss Olive
Jones, daughter of Colonel C. c. Jones.
acted as sponsor, and the animal was
named in her honor.
Olive is now snugly housed on the
South Side, and takes kindly to the
new quarters. The animal is IA
years old and a good specimen Of the
muskox family. Few Of the animals
are brought out of the arctic country
alive, and on this account its owner
prizes the specimen highly. He con-
tends that scientists know little about
the history of the muskox and will
use Miss Jones for educational pur-
poses.

not so quick in perception that they do

also calls attention to the fact that

ORIGIN OF TALK TURKEY.

A man who listened to some spell

during the recent municipal campaign,
according to the New York Times. SAID

pressions used in driving home argu-

expressions. have in mind one-'tc
talk turkey-repeatedly used. The
story of its origin is as follows:
Two men, an Indian and a white
man, agreed to hunt together for day
and to divide the spoils. When, the
time came there was no difficulty in APP
portioning the smaller birds and ami.
mals-one Of a kind to each. At last
they reached the last pair, a crow and
turkey.
Now says the white man, with a
great show of fairness. you may have
the crow and I'll take the turkey. or I'll
take the turkey and you may have the
crow
HUH says the Indian, why you
no talk turkey to me?'"

CURIOUS CHlMNEYS.
Designers and Builders Who Had Vivid
Imaginations.

Imaginations.
In the neighborhood of Stamford
street, in the southeast of London,
there is chimney shaped after the
likeness of huge coffin. 1t is made up
of dark-colored bricks, and presents
an appearance which is gloomy to the
point of depression. This quaint erec-
ton, curiously enough, is well nigh
unnoticed by the Inhabitants of the
district. many OF whom are quite
unaware of it's presence in their midst.
A small music hall in southern city
of France Is decorated with chimney
shaped to resemble man. The figure
is attired in frock coat and silk hat,
while a huge metal tube, painted
brown and representing a cigar, re-
poses in the lips of the queer appa-
ratus. From this "cigar" the smoke
issues in great black clouds, and so
realistic is the whole continuance when
regarded from the street below that at
first sight the spectator is led to believe
that fashionably attired gentleman
is enjoying weed on the theater roof.
Curious chimneys abound in all quar-
tiers of the globe. In several American
cities it is no uncommon occurrence to
encounter wine TASKS, the base OF the
erections being swathed in straw-col-
ored woodwork to resemble the baskets
wherein such TASKS usually recline.
Perhaps, however. one of the most Pc
culiar chimneys in the world is that
which is to be seen in Roumanian
township. and which is known by the
name Death Funnel" 1t represents
skeleton some fifty feet in height, and
IS built throughout of gun metal. The
shaft is conveyed upward through the
spine of the figure and the smoke is
sues from the apex of the skull. Veri-
tably, CHASTITY chimney, and one
would have imagined that the eccen-
trio millionaire who thus adorned his
roof top might have hit upon some less
grucsome means of enhancing his repu-
tation for extravagant whimsicality.

that city. He has never seen her husband
and the money Is sent him on his promise
which he has never broken, to keep away
from her home. He has accordingly cut
st. Louis out of his itinerary, and declares
he will never go there unless he is carried
there after his death. Thirty years ago his
wife died, and since that time he has been
a confirmed tramp, never stopping more
than week at any one place. Before the
death of his wife he was a kindly, con-
siderate man and a Christian, well to do
and respected by all who knew him. After
her death he took to drink and soon became
a wreck, mentally. morally and physically.
Friends adopted his little daughter, and
she can only remember her father as she
saw him in middle life-a strong, pleasant,
God-fearing man. The money she sends
him each month keeps him from actual
want. She would like to have him reform
and again at the sunset of his existence
return to the path Of rectitude and end his
days at her home, a Christian. But it ap-
pears that her hopes are in vain. After
travelling the highway of sin for thirty
years old Sam Turner is loath to give up
his frowsy companions and their shiftless
ways and debauchery. and says he will end
his now worse than worthless ways ON the
