And If you do not writ poetry about
love, what do you write about?'
"Oh there are many. many things that
women can write poetry about besides the
too sacred there of love. There are the
flowers, for instance the chrysanthe-

plum blossoms. And there are persim-
mons. Japanese young women love to
write verses about persimmons and about
sweet luscious fruit, too. And then there
are the hills and the rivers. and the

How Joseph Chamberlain Fell In Love
With Miss Endlcott.
prom the WASHINGTON Post.

FROM the Washington Post.
When Joseph Chamberlain came over
TO the United States one of the objects of
his visit was to find out what kind of a
girl Miss Mary Endicott (his present
wife) was. His son, Austin Chamberlain,
had met her in Europe, fell very much in
love with her and asked his fathers con-
sent to address her. The old gentleman
was somewhat chary of American wives
for Englishmen.
Before giving his consent he concluded
to meet the lady In person, and investi-
gate herself and family. A night or two
after his arrival In this country there
was a ball at the British Embassy.
Mr. Endicott. then Mr. Cleveand's Sec
rotary of War, and his daughter were
among the guests. Mr.. Chamberlain par
dcularly noticed a stately and beautiful
girl whose unaffected dignity greatly
pleased him. He asked to be presented
To his surprise and qualification he was
introduced to Miss Endicott. During the
entire evening he paid her assiduous at
tention. The next day he called at her
fathers residence He soon became sat
isfied as to the social status OF the Endi-
colts. He finally succumbed to the charm
Of the fair girl and instead OF sanction
Ing Austin's suite, addressed her himself
and presented a handsome young STEP
mother instead of p prospective fiancee
TO the waiting yohng lover Austin
Chamberlain accepted the inevitable, and
is said to be respectfully devoted to his
stepmother

a GRsEDsS CURE,

"My little boy was taken with
indigestion when he was a year
and half old, writes Mrs. w. D.
Benson, of Maxton, Robson Co.
N. c. "For FIVE long years we
spent all we made for doctor
bills, and it did no good. When
he would take a spell of indiges-
ton he would lie for ten and ff-
teen days, and it seemed as though
he would die. He could eat only
a little milk and cracker, and he
got very weak could not sit up
all day, and I gave up all hope
of his ever getting better. Three
years ago I noticed DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery recon-
mended for indigestion. We
bought some and gave to our boy.
Two bottles cured him. He is as
we'll as can be, and can eat any
thing he wants and it does not
hurt him."

The baby member of the House is Rep

was private secretary of the late Repre-
sentative Stokes, and when the latter
died was voted by grateful constituency
into the vacant seat.
Every day at As o'clock Bert Ken
nedy, assistant doorkeeper, warns all per-
sons not entitled to the floor to vacate,

same" For three days Kennedy saw a
small boy sitting at a desk and cody
disregarding the official summons to re-
tire. He threw his piping, penetrating
voice in the direction of the lad, but with
out effect. On the third day Kennedy
told his troubles to Amos Cummings.
IF that boy don't get out OF here be-
fore u o'clock I'll throw him out" said
Kennedy.
What boy?" asked Cummings.
Sitting over there replied Kennedy,
pointing to Levers direction.
81 wouldn't throw him OUT said Cum
mings.
why not?" inquired Kennedy.
Because remarked Cummings you
might lose your job. He's member of
the House."
Kennedy dint say a word, and Repre-
sentative Lever remained undisturbed.

No, it it is not worth our while trying to
learn to wear clothes for which we are

fine the wearing of European costumes

The "oId Maid" Problem.
What is the most radical effect of the
new woman idea in Japan, or has there
thus far been any such effect?"
"Oh. yes, indeed a very great effect.
We are beginning to have old maids. Such
a thing less than a generation ago was
unheard of, but now we are recruiting
more and more old maids each year. The
women's clubs are making our girls much
more particular as to their husbands.
The more education a girl gets the
harder she is to please in the way of a
husband. When she gets knowledge OF
algebra and geometry and chemistry, and
poetry and drama she begins to have
ideals. and is not contented to marry the
first man, or even the second or third

with her distinguished husband to Lon
