DRESSING TO WRITE.
Peculiar Styles Of Attire as Aids to
Words and Ideas.

Many writers, composers, paint
ers and sculptors have believed that
their flood of ideas was helped by
the adoption Of some peculiar style
Of dress. Dumas, for example, used
to take off his coat and vest, I'M
fasten his shirt collar and turn up
his sleeves to the elbows before be-
ginning to write.
A fancy costume of black velvet
was always donned by Wagner when
he was composing, and a Tam
0'Shanter cap. A signet ring pre-
sented to him by Frederick Of Prus-
STA was worn by Haydn while he was
working, and Beethoven would wash
his hands dozens Of times before
beginning his composition.
Mascagni while working on his
japanese opera arrayed himself in a
flowing robe Of eastern style, with
all his surroundings oriental in
character, oceans of coffee being
consumed as necessary to inspira-
ton.
Red was a color detested by Lew
is Carroll, and a little girl who
came to visit him was absolutely
forbidden to wear a red frock Of
bright hue while out in his com
pany. Pink and gray were his IA
yorite combinations of color. In
personal matters he had great
fear Of extravaganza and would only
wear cotton gloves. He never wore
an oyercoat and always wore a tall
hat, whatever might be the climatic
conditions. He was devoted to the
cup which cheers, but does not in
ebriate, and while writing "Alice In
Wonderland" he consumed enor-
nous quantities Of tea. While COM
posing he used to walk up and down
the room, swinging the teapot back
ward and forward while the tea

She Got Her Papa.

William Allen was known as the
''iron governor" of Ohio not be-
cause he had been an iron king or
anything like that, but because he
had not the slightest sympathy in
the world for criminal, and when
ever an application was made to him
to pardon an erring one he was as
"iron" and could not be moved, so
he was called the "iron governor"
One Thanksgiving eve he was APP
piled to for executive clemency by
the wife of a notorious horse thief
and one who was serving a third
term at that. He sat at his desk,
his back turned to the fearful plead
er, not even condescending to look
at her. She had brought with her
fve-year-old girl, who had been
quietly watching. Suddenly the
child went to him and, pulling his
coattail, said:
"You mean old thing, [ want my
papa"
And the "iron governor" snatched
her up, kissed her smack ON the
mouth and said, "And you shall
have him"
True to his word, later that day
the wife and child came away from
the prison with the pardoned hus-
band and father-Denver Times.

THE BACHELOR BRUTE.
Why He Would Have Married Had He
Been a Korean.

The matron was Disguised with
the bachelor. There was no doubt
about it. She said she was.
For the fourth time he had foiled
her most skillful efforts at match
making. She had given him every
opportunity to fall in love with four
girls, any one of whom was a prize
They would have taken him, too,
had he asked them the all impor-
tant question, for he was decidedly
a "catch." But he was happy in his
single life and did not care to take
a risk.

said. "Never again, never, shall l
introduce you to another girl, and l
hope you may never know the hap
piness Of being married to a charm
ing woman"
81 second that hope with all my
heart" he added, smiling.
She glared.
81 wish you had been born a Ko-
rean" she cried.
"Can't second that proposition, !"
he replied. "American birth is good
enough for me. But why Korean?
Surely you would not have me a
pygmy, that you might beat me-"
81 wouldn't touch you," she an
swered shortly; "but if you had
been a Korean you would forget
this bachelor madness. Until you
had married you would have to
wear hair in a braid, keep quiet in
company and be without rights as a
man. That would bring you to time
quickly enough"
"I'm not so sure" he said. 'Let
US see what rights come to the Ko-
rean by marriage. lie can pile his
hair on top of his head, he can squat
instead Of sitting down properly,
and he can jabber away in com
pany."
'But you forget that until mar
ried he cannot smoke tobacco"
She knew that was a tolling shot.
Had he not been punctuating his
remarks with rings from his shining
brier2

said, smiling. 'If we're a Korean,
l would certainly marry"
"Brutel" she cried as he left her.

OPPOSES TARIFF REVISION.
Speaker Henderson Thinks No Action
 Should be Taken By Congress.

Waterloo, Ia., January 23.--In a letter received here today Speaker Henderson puts himself on record as against any revision of the tariff by the present Con gress. The letter is a response to a pe- tition signed by seventy Republican busi- ness men of Waterloo and Cedar Falls.
 Speaker Henderson admits that some changes might wisely be made in the present tariff, but sees so much danger in opening up the subject for revision that he would leave 1t as 1t is. He says:
 My judgment is that it Is more inn portant at this time in the interest of this country to reduce taxation upon ourselves and stop to a proper degree the influx of the peoples money into the public treasury. With. the country in an unpar- alleled prosperous condition L.cannot be- lieve 1t wise to begin a reduction which inevitably will open up the whole field of revision and thus put a serious check upon the business of the country.
 "The moment the country understands that there is to be a revision of the tariff jobbers will suspend large purchases, hoping to buy at lower prices. This will compel the manufactures to reduce his business, and this will compel a reduc- tion of pay rolls and serious business ca lamity might ensue."
The age-herald., 1902-01-24

Mir. Cooper was the owner of the bath house where the assault was committed but it is not managed in his name. It is located right in the fashionable section of the city. MT. Cooper, who was inter- ested in various lines of business. was considered one of the wealthiest men in St. Louis.
 MT. Cooper was many times million aire.
 Developments in connection with the murder as the day progressed were sem sational in the extreme. It became known that Strother was in need of money-s500 or more, to reclaim his home from mort gage sale. Strother, however meets this with the statement that MT. Cooper. whom he had known and served for a long time. had promised to save his home for him. He also claims that MT. Cooper had promised him that in the event of the sale of the bathhouse. he (Strother) should be taken care of either by being retained in his position or by being given another. Questioned as to why Mir. Coop CT should thus make provision for him. the negro told a startling and sensational story of the alleged true character of the place of which he had been the trusted custodian, and the story was in some de- gree corroborated by a statement from the police that they had been making se- cret investigation and was going to raid and close up the place.
 Strother stoutly maintains his inno- cence, but the police are entirely confi- dent that they have the right man in custody.
