ONE WOMAN WHO SUCCEEDED

Mrs. Page has not been married very long, so her chief study in life is pleasing MT. Page. That young man receives her adulation with complac- ency.
 The other day he invited two men friends up to dinner, and after he had listened to his wife's prospective menu he expressed perfect satisfaction.
 That's right" he said. That's just the sort of dinner that will please them, I'll get some good cigars down. town and we'll be all fixed"
 Mrs. Page felt little hurt over the latter part of her husbands remark. Why did Henry always insist on buy ing his own cigars? She could get them just as we'll as not while she was purchasing the other things.
 So, after arraying herself in her street frock and hat she went into Henrys den" to find one of his cigars. Luckily for her there was one left, and taking it out of the jar she wrapped it carefully in tissue paper. Then she carried it over to the drug store in her huff. There were several men waiting for @ car. Approaching the clerk she said in her sweetest, dearest tones:--
 q want to buy some cigars"
 ''Yes, madam said the young clerk, smilingly. What price cigars did you want2"
 "Oh. l don't know anything about

TESTIMONY BY HiRn SCHWARTZ

TESTIM BY IT, Rk SCHWAk kIA
 Ttard Schwartz, German naval con structor, has been Investigating the character and cost of shipbuilding in this country, and he has made report to the Germans about it. He says in 1t that the materials for the construction of steel ships are cheaper here than in any other country He adds that the American workmen are the best in the world, and that their wages are from So to 30 Der cent. higher than those receiV- ed in Great Britain, and q hundred per cent, higher than Germany pays. Herr Schwartz does not dwell so much upon the superiority of this labor in lessening the cost of shipbuilding here as he might, but he declares that the better quality of our machinery goes lar to counterbalance the increased wage bills paid incur foundries. He is sure, what ever may be the cause, that ships are built here as cheaply as they are in Flu rope.
 The Boston Herald thinks that Herr Schwartz's report affords added eVl- dence of the wrong of paying those who own our shipyards bounty out of the funds of the nation for ship production. It does seem capable of that construc- tion.

PHrL1sTINES ABROAD.

Mexican Journal Describes the Of
 fenslve Manners of Some American
 Tourists.
 Of course there are tourists and tour- ists. just as there are different species and qualities of almost everything else that exists upon the face of the globe. But the one brand of tourist which seems reserved by fate for introduction into Mexico is the kind that ought to be locked LID at home and kept there. It is possible that when they are at home and are not tourists they show them- selves to be possessed of very different traits from those which they display with such freedom and seeming pride as soon as they cross the border. That is possible, but it is hardly probable, for one is loath to believe that the pure air and sunshine of Mexico can have such an evil effect upon any being.
 Tourists by wholesale and tourists by retail have been arriving in the repubs lie during the last month. Some of them are credit to the country from which they come, and--some of them are not JI Ille jliSI tlbSo NciS '''NiS h' S~Nti Though it is possible that in point of numbers they exceed the second. But they go quietly about their business, seeing the sights in an unobtrusive way and there is nothing about them to at-
 tract attention.
 Of the second lot the less seen the bet ter for one's personal comfort, and the less heard the better for the reputation of their native land. There may not be so many of them, but they are as ubjouitous and all-pervasive as the flea And, personally, they are just about as pleasnt to have as compan- ions.
 Some of this kind wandered into the cathedral yesterday. They were armed with kodaks, and the women wore the short skirt which is the sure sign of the tourist Service was being said at one of the altars, but that made no diff ference to the sightseers. They wan dered around, staring at the paintings, commenting on the altar decorations. and talking in tones which could al most have been heard in the atrium The fact that many worshippers were in the church made no difference to them. They stared and talked and turned their backs to the altar as suit ed their own sweet will.
 A withered old Indian woman, her back bent with labor and age and her | body covered with mass of rags, hoh- bled in and knelt on the floor in prayer.

SOME Ns!ON.

While everything in this country may not be keeping pace with the expansion of dominion and of trade there is one thing which is fully abreast of the pro- cession. It appears that there were $635 000, ,000 of new railroad bonds listed in 1901, against 69,000,000 in 1900, and new railroad stocks were put on the list to the extent of $2S3, 100000, against 1885 O00, 900 the year before The stocks and bonds of all descriptions created and put upon the New York board for trading and for public consumption in 1901 reached the enormous volume or S2,556 900, GOO, or $1, ,4Ss, 900, 900 more than in 1900.
 And the new year has begun well in the same line The first month of the year is only half gone, and yet we have had s3O,O00 900 new Atchison bonds an- nounced, and $35, ,000, 900 new New York Central stock. There are rumors or other big things of this kind, ana doubtless some of the rumors will soon materialize. The big financers are ap- parently determined that there shall be enough stuff to go around if they have to sit up nights to make it. When the testing time comes there will, of course, be wailing and gnashing of teeth, put what's the use of borrowing trouble as long as money can be borrowed!

the price, but want some just like this one. He-my husband-always smokes this kind, so I brought 1t over to match it.
 Meantime she had been unwrapping her tissue paper parcel, which cracked loudly and finally disclosed a somewhat crumped cigar. There was murmur of suppressed mirth among the waiting men, but Mrs. Page was not even notice how suddenly the clerk turned away, nor how red he got be- hind his ears as he sought the back of the store. There was whispered con sultation between the clerk and the proprietor. who asked in Sherlock Holmes, ''Is she pretty we'll dressed? We'll, give her 10 straight, mild Ha- vanas."
 The clerk did so, Mrs. Page received her cigars and went on to market to buy her dinner.
 That night, as she had expected. her absent minded better half forgot to bring home any cigars.
 Never mind, Henry: I got some this morning. I knew you'd forget them" said Mrs. Page soothingly.
 But MT. Page did not look soothed. Instead he seemed decidedly anxious.
 You got some cigars?" he ex- claimed. Let's see 'em. Where did you get them, and how much did you pay?"
 He bit the end off one nervously and lighted it with studied care.
 Why, that's not half bad" he said, cheerfully. How on earth did you do it?'
 But Mrs. Page refused to tell.
 Only after dinner did she divulge her secret. Then, while the men were enjoying their smoke, they piled her so hard with teasing questions that she weakened and triumphantly told her little scheme. Roars of laughter greeted her story.
 "She matched it." said one jovial guest, pounding Henry on the back in sheer excess of employment. Matched it as she would piece of ribbon!"
 "WelI, anyhow" retored Mrs. Page, nettled at their mirth. q seem to have succeeded better than one of you silly men would have done if had given you piece of ribbon to match" ,"
 And that they were forced to admit it was true.--Chicaga News.

MORE OIL THAN BOOM.

There is oil enough at Beaumont, Texas, but there isn't boom enough. It is just about a year since oil was discovered there. Since then 196 wells have been developed in the field, and ST companies have appeared to exploit the mineral richness that gushes from Spindletop Heights. The section has had no less than two petroleum booms. The first one brought speculative en- hancement of land prices all about Beaumont which collapsed when it was found that the oil was to be had only in the neighborhood of Spindletop Heights. Then Spindletop Heights prop
 erty underwent another extraordinary augmentation in value, but even here the excitement is now much less than it was. The total capacity of the field is estimated at something like six and half million barrels of oil daily. The actual output, of course, is much less. For the whole year it is reckoned at 5,- CS6.00O barrels Of this about 2500, 900 barrels have been stored and 1,500, 900 shipped. Eleven hundred thousand

CHEAT aAD GOOD FRIENDS.

It is pleasant to have so many great and good friends as we have just now. The King of England is our friend, the Czar of Russia is ditto, and the Elm peror of Germany is another There will be some great doings next month when the Emperor Williams represen- ing of his new yacht and the strength ening of the ties between Germany and from Berlin that elaborate preparations are being made for social entertain nents on board the Hohenzo!ern, Elm peror Williams private yacht. By the Emperor's special orders, splendid silver service has been sent to Kfel from the royal silver treasures in the old Schloss. His Majesty personally inspected the treasures and selected the service which is to be used on board the Hohenzollern on special oc- casions. Emperor Williams programme is that Prince Henry shall reciprocate the New York and Washington festivi- ties with grand banquet on board the Hohenzolern, inviting the President, the members of the cabinet and others, There is talk in Washington about the Olympia, in command of Rear Admiral Evans, acting as the escort of the Ho- henzollern up the bay and about an ap- propriat ion by congress to carry out the official programme of welcome suit ably. Mayor Low will ask for an ap- propriation from the aldermen to re- ceive Prince Henry with proper dignity, and the German societies are intending to do him honor.
 There is no doubt that the festivities will be made just about as festive as they can be. All concerned will have a good time, and if Prince Henry and his associates don't go away with good opinion of the United States, and leave behind them good opinion of Germany it will be strange.

The Hamburg chamber of commerce has just published it's report for the past year. It appears that the pre- yailing depression in Germany has had little effect on the trade of that city, which. however, derived little benefit from the recent speculative expansion of Germany industry For the first time the tonnage of the Hamburg fleet exceeds a million tons, an increase of nearly 100000 tons in the past twelve months. It is admitted, however, that the state of the carrying trade, which was favorable at the beginning of the year, has changed considerably for the worse Freights are from 30 to 40 per cent lower than they were last Janu- ary The report bears testimony to the serious effects of American com petition, which, it says, can only be especially as the Americans intend to foster their carrying trade by the in troduction of subsidies. The trade with Central and South America shows a marked falling off, which is due partly to the depression in the coffee industry, partly to the political disturbances. Not much more satisfactory has been the export trade to China and Japan, but on the other hand. exports to South Africa are now rapidly increasing.

Two ot his artificial teeth were broken and the r,late attachment as well. He brought suit in the city of London court to recover $25 for new set of teeth and S25 for inconvenience in being without his teeth for week.
