THE POPULAR HERO.
In Fiction He Is Always Eating,

In Fiction He Is Always Eating,
Drinking or Smoking.
When the hero of the popular short
story is not eating or drinking he Is
smoking, says Martha Baker Dunn In
the Atlantic. His chronicler fayors
his pages with tobacco smoke and
punctuates them with cocktails. In
JOY or in sorrow, in the most romantic
no less than the more commonplace
moments, the hero lights another
cigarette" Emotion unacompanied by
nicotine is something of which he
evidently has no conception.
1t Is the same, too, with the up-to-
date young man in real life. He
knows, If he has been properly trained,
that while a toothpick should be in
dulged in only in that spot to which
Scripture enjoins us to retire when we
are about to pray a meerschaum pipe
Is a perfectly well-bred article for
public wear and one which enables
him to fulfill agreeably that law of
his being which suggests that he
should always be putting something In
his MOUTH.
At a college ball game not long
since, where, as Is usual on such oc-
casions, clouds of incense were rising
to the heavens from the male portion
of the spectators, | amused myself by
observing young man who sat In a
carriage near me, and who while the
game was In progress smoked a pipe
three times and filed in all the in
teryals with cigars and cigarettes. l
knew something about him and had
frequently heard him referred to as
"a firstrate fellow" but If anybody
had asked him IL he believed himself
capable OF a single pure impulse Of
the soul, entirely unmixed with bodily
sensations, he would have stared In
amazement-

''Well?" said Terry-he was In for It

Jane was angry with Martha and
said she ought not to say such things
Martha said: %, you needn't pretend

Terry was sitting with one elbow on
his knee, his head resting on his palm,
and his face In the shadow. From the
big drawing room came the sound OF
music and the ripping laughter of the
children. He remembered now that
Constance had told him with a look of

She went away obediently and quite

turned away with a mist in his eyes.

Dogs of War.

There are numerous instances on rec
ord where dogs have displayed Won
derful intelligence In war, when car
rying messages while In action and
when acting as carriers to points or
stations at a distance. An officer of
my acquaintance, while campaigning
agAnst Indians In the Northwest
would always collect few dogs from
each settlement he passed through and
take them along to the country of the
hostiles. When important to send back
messages at time when 1t was impos-

Mummy Is quite safe-no one Is going

In his speech, and then went on boldly.

THE SPIRIT THAT WINS.

While searching the archives for know
edge,
While after the rarest of lore,
While seeking the richest of jewels
In Wisdom's variant store,
remember this as you rummage
For mot of the Sage's wit,
The best and rarest of lessons
Is: Git up, git up and git!
Ages are filled with the dreaming
Or verses the poets have sung,
Filled with the anguish and sorrow
Tragical muses. have wrung
From the loom of fanciful musing,
But the essence of all the wit,
The lesson of all the lessons,
Is the lesson: Git up and gitl
From periods primordial
On down to the time we live,
It's simply matter of Take, my boy;
If we can't question of Give.
Remember this as you rummage
For a mot of the Sage's wit,
The best and rarest Of lessons
Is: Be just, but git up and git!

faithfully as any employee could be ex-
pected to.
The mar who built the road and who
operates it today, Prince Hilk0ff, learn
ed all about railroading as a practical
worker In Chicago and especially In
the Pullman shops, where he was en-
ployed at 81 a day for time. After
wards he became a skilled workman,
and many Of the Pullmans in the
United States bear the marks of his
handicraft. That was before he went
back to Russia and became one Of the
strong men of the empire and was en-
nobled with the title of prince.

which long baffled every attempt of en-
gineers to lay the steel lines which
would complete the system to the coast.
By building the line Russia has made
itself the dominating power In all af
fairs of the far east. The railway is
primarily a military work. and second
arily a means of settlement and adj

that a trip around the world can now

One striking feature of the Siberian
railway is the almost straight line it

is its rate of fares-an average of one

The philadelphia Orchestra.

The announcement that the financial
success of the Philadelphia Orchestra
has strengthened the interest in the
organization in Philadelphia and is
Of course interesting to us here, since
three concerts are to be given in Tren-
ton, and the Executive Committee
have proceeded to accomplish large
amount of work.
The splendid manner in which the
guarantors met the deficit of $40, 200
has proved conclusively that Philadel-
phia contains enthusiastic supporters
offs permanent orchestra project among
the wealthy class, who realize that
the building up of great instrument
tai body must be encouraged by the
strongest financial support.
The Philadelphia Orchestra will en-
ter upon its second season greater,
better and stronger than ever. The
management has resolved to strength
en- the hands of Conductor Fritz Scheel
wherever necessary. While some i'm
portant changes will occur in the per-
sonnet of the performers, all music low
ers have the assurance that they will
be invariably for the better and for
the improvement of the orchestra.
Negotiations are now pending for
the services of concert meister, which
if brought to successful termination,
will enlist in the cause of Philadel-
phia's representative Orchestra the
superb talents of man of eminence
in the musical world, both as soloist
and as concert meister.
Other important additions are in
the process of the making and they
will likewise bring strength to the or
chestra.
The general body of players is ex-
actly the same as it was last year, and
the new corners will be men of such
repute that it will seem like welcom-
ing old friends to see them in some of
the principal places.
