Not Easily Excited.

Out in Prairie du Chen, Wis, lives
an old German, now past so, who has
for years been in the hotel business.
The old gentleman is very fond of
card playing, and pitch" is his IA
voritc game.
One day couple of years ago a
party was sitting about table play
ing, and just as the cards had been
dealt and sorted and it was up to
the old gentleman to bid for the
trump, boy rushed into the office
and in great excitement said the
barn was on fire.
Without showing the least pertur-
baton the old gentleman turned to
him, and the following conversation
took place:
"Did you get out the horse?"
Eyes"
"Did you the buggy get out?"

ton, four years ago, and they will
be quite at home in the larger So
cial sphere at Washington. The pub
lie functions of the Shaw admins
tration have not been equaled in
magnifcence by those of any other
administration in late years. At the
beginning of Gov. Shaw's first term
Mrs. Shaw inaugurated series Of
legislative receptions, which were
highly appreciated by the wives and
daughters of members of the general
assembly.
Mrs. Shaw is not club woman,
but she took delight in meeting as
far as possible all the social demands
made upon the first lady of the state.
She inclines toward practical chari-
ty and does much in aid of socie-
ties of this character. Personally,
she is a gracious, lovable character,
and the wife of no governor has ever
been more popular with the people
of Des Moines than she. 1t has been
the practice of Gov. Shaw to sub
nit to her political questions per-
sonal to himself and to be guided
by her advice. The woman upon
whose word depended the securing
by Iowa of the treasury portfolio
talks politics only to her husband
and never in public. She appears to
be purely domestic woman and yet,
according to the public admissions of
Gov. Shaw, she has had much to do
with advancing his political fortunes.
The Shaw family consists of two
daughters-Enid, aged 81; Erma,
aged 16-and a son, Earl, aged 1s.
Enid entered society toward the end
of her fathers first term as gov
ernor. She has one more year in
Cornell college, when she will either
go abroad or enter Vassar. Erma en-
tered the schools of Denison in Sep
TENDER, when arrangements were
made for the return of the family to
their home on the expiration of the
gubernatorial term; and Earl is at
tending military academy in Indi-
ana.
Mrs. Shaw and the children were
in their apartments in the Victoria
on Christmas day, when the public
was awaiting the decision of the ia.
Their on the question of accepting a
place in President Roosevelt's cabi-
net, and each was asked what was
thought of the proposition to remove
to Washington. Mrs. Shaw prompt
| ly declared that it had been her wish
they might return to Denison, where
carpenters and decorators have just
completed the work of placing the
old home in shape for comfortable
occupancy, but she left it clear that
if Gov. Shaw should feel willing tc
undertake further public labors she
would meet as best she might the
duties which her new position as {
cabinet officers wife would entail
Miss Enid said it mattered less to hel
than to the others, for the reason sh.
would be abroad or at Vassar, bu
she would enjoy Washington on grea
occasions, when she hoped to be abb,
to be there. Miss Erma shared tn
desire of her mother for return
to the old home in Denison. Maste
Earl's answer was that his father
being in politics, should ''play tn
game to the limit" and not retir
when the second best position in tn
cabinet was within easy reach. Il
giving expression to his opinion foot
ball and other terms common to tn
athletic youth were used in profu
sion. The governors only son is brim
ming over with life and energy.

A shelf along the top of the back gives
some more opportunities for the dis

from the accepted modes to stamp
them as freaks.
AS a sample of what the French
women are capable of in the way of
dress designing, let me call attention
to an afternoon or evening reception
gown that to me is the perfection of
elegance, and yet comparatively sim
pie. 1t is of ecru muslin, made with
broad panels down the skirt of Louis
XIV brocade, which offer a pleasing
contrast. The muslin forming the
body of the gown is incrusted with
precious lace, giving it the extrava-
giant effect SO much in vogue, though
the charm of the gown would be less.

easily the French woman adapts her
self to this chosen fad. To it they
bring a wealth of art without any
of the grotesqueness that one might
expect to find among amateurs. But,
where art is concerned, in whatever
garb one finds it, the French woman
is not an amateur. She is naturally
an artist, and the designing of her own
gowns is but the adapting of her nat
ural resources to some useful pur-
pose.
Even the first lady of France, Nine.
Ioubet, has taken to the fad, and
with excellent results. So long as she

designer she was looked upon as one
of the plainest dressed women of the

lacked the individuality that is so de-

followed the example set by less ex-
allied, though more original sisters,
and the change has been wonderful.
To-day she is looked upon as one of

Toniqht's Caucus.

There should be a full attendance of
the Republican voters of the city at the
caucus at City hall, this evening. The
choice of delegates to the State con-
vention and of those to the district
convention are important matters, but,
since there is no contest in these cases,
the nomination of candidates to repre-
sent Augusta in the Legislature over
shadows them in popular interest.
Every good citizen is interested in the
choice to be made, for the good name
and the material interests of the city
are involved. Let every Republican
voter be present, this evening, to as
isst in selecting the candidates for
representatives to be elected in Septem-
Der. 1t is a duty that should not be
neglected. Make it full party vote.

Hayti's Revolution Habit.

They are having gay times down III
Hayti, this spring. The revolution
record has been badly fractured several
times and the game is still on. And Of
all lightning changes Of government
that even an American republic ever
underwent, the successful revolution in
Hayti, this week, which lasted but two
hours. is entitled to a prominent place.
The history of this island has been one
Of almost continual revolution and dis

ent constitution is modelled upon that

lions count for little. in Hayti.
General Tiresias Simon Sam who ac-
ceded to power in 1856 has had, like all
his predecessors, a stormy term Of
office. We can hardly blame the
Haytians for Directing to Il president

patches fail to mention this as the
main cause of trouble. lie save up in

Finally provisional government was
patched up with a former president,
who had been driven from office in
1879, at its heal, and the chief kickeIS
were exilcd to Jamaica. Now they have
been pardoned and are coming back,
and the white dove of peace takes to
the tall timber again. There are six
candidates for the presidency, each

and the island is happy at the prospect
of a revolution or two a week during
the summer months. 1t is doubtful if
volcano eruptions and earthquakes
would turn the Haytians from their
favorite amusement. Occasionally
somebody loses his temper to the eX-
tent that blood is spilled, but this is
against the rules of the game.

Pompeii and ST. Pierre.

They are poking quite a lot of fun at
Emperor William for going out of his
way to say in his message of condol-
ence to the President of France that
cost the lives of nearly as many per-
sons as persisted at Pompeii." The eX-
preston of sympathy does credit to the
heart of Emperor William, but the
erudite monarch is away off on his
statistics. Pompeii never began to
have as large a population as st.
Pierre had, and a large proportion OF
its inhabitants escaped destruction on
that fateful day when Vesuvius belched
forth death and desolation. The total
number Of bodies found during a CEN
tury and a half of excavation, covering
a large part of the area of the city,
scarcely exceeds 800. The destruction
of Pompeii has been given such promi-
nence in romance and the excavations
in the ruins have proved of such his
torical value, that the proportions of
that tragedy in the year 10 are vastly
exaggerated in the popular mind. Tho
destruction of Pompeii was bad
enough, but it was not, as far as the
and all the evidences of
history show, Il catastrophe to be men

Nothing hurries the English par
lament. The King has sent his
sympathy to President Loubct, but
Parliament is so handicapped with the
stolid English conservatism that by
the time it passes any relief measure,
even for its own people on stricken St.
Vincent, other nations will have buried
the dead and fed the starving. Its de-
lay, for lack of earthquake and vol
