Paul Pry Says There Should
Be Some Rule to Go to the
Right or Left. - y -

truth literally of the former one. here
is a similar story, which is absolutely
true, and involves a leading banker of
Paris at the present time and a flnancier
of International fame.
At another, but equally prominent
street corner for years and years sat a
desrepid old man receiving the aims of
charitable passers-by. A certain young
man of humble mien passed each morn
ing regularly for years, and as rezu-
larly lropped a sous into the outstretch-
ed palm of the old man, never stopping
to ask questions. One morning the aged
beggar stopped him and told him II he
would come to q certain house, giving
street and number, that night after busi-
ness hours that he would hear some
thing to his advantage This seemed very
odd indeed, but the young man in ques-
tion finally decided to go. The suppliant
of the morning met him cordially and
after each were seated said. Young
man, have observed you carefully for
a number OF years. | have a motherless
you're daughter, and I know that 1 can
not live very much longer so l wish to
make you this proposition. l do not know
your occupation or abilities. but I. do
not care to know more than do having
observed the steadiness of purpose and
the regularity with which you have drop
ped sous In my palm each morning
for so many years. Now have this
amount in the bank"-stating a really
fabulous sum-"and I will give 1t all to
you, provided you will marry my young
daughter and thus become my son and
protector"
The young man was very naturally
amazed at the proposition and replied
that he would have to think the matter
over carefully and promised to give the
old man an answer the following night.
AT the appointed time he again visited
the old beggar, and agreed to the pro-
position, and these are the literal cir
cumstances whereby one of the best
known financiers of Paris today gained
beautiful young wife and a princely
fortune.

A COSTLY STAMP.
1t Cost $4,000 to Buy a Mauritius One
Shilling of 1910.

From the Denver Republican.
II any of the good people of Denver can
discover among their old letters one bear
Ing a stamp issued by the government of
the island Mauritius in 1910 in denomina-
ton of one shilling, they can make an ex-
cellent bargain with ]. M. Bartels of Bos-
ton, and Carl Milladt of Baden, Germany,
philatelists, who are at the Brown Pal
ace Hotel. Mr.. Mllladt is one OF the lead
Ing stamp dealers OF Germany. He is
among the first of foreign philateiists to
visit American on business. Aside from
the routine business in connection with
his trip, Mr.. Milladt is in search Of a
Mauritius stamp of tho issue mentioned.
Among the collection valued at $4,000,
which the gentlemen have with them,
Is one of the stamps of that issue, which
Is valued at $4,000. There are not more
than four or five of them in existence but
three Of them have been located. Mr..
Milladt is anxious to secure another of
the same issue, as he will then be able
TO fill an order placed with him by an
eccentric German philatelist, who wishes
to add the pair to his collection. For q
pair he is to pay 1900 thaIers, equivalent
10 s10S00 in American money.
1.-The interest in philately in America
Is very keen at the present time" said
Mr.. Bartels last night. and many prom
inent men In all walks of life include
among their belongings valuable collec-
tions of stamps. We philatelists figure
that man can scarcely leave his family
a more valuable heritage than a good col
lection of stamps. The collecting of
stamps is an attractive occupation, and
the layman will hardly appreciate the
seductiveness of a collection that has
grown from a few hundred specimens of
the commoner varieties to one which
numbers complete sets of various issues.
There are, of course, personal connec-
lions which lend to many specimens a
value higher than intrinsic worth, but
like everything else stamps after all have
an intrinsic value regulated by their
scarcity"
A stamp collectors society is being
formed in this city in which Charles
Mas and other local philatelists are in
terested. If possible arrangements will
be made within a few years to have at
Denver a convention of philatelists, when
the collections owned in the United States
and other countries will be sent here for
exhibition. as ~ ~. ~ :

"BRAINY FoUR.ToED GIANTs.o
Prof. Henry L. Burners Prophecies
Of the Future of Mankind.

From the New York World
Indianapolis-"S men, far DIFF
ferent from those now living, will walk
the earth in centuries to come. They
win be race of brainy. four-toed
giants" says Henry L. Bruner, head of
the biology department of Butler univer-
sity.
The future man, he declares. will be
being in whom strange transformations
shall have taken place, a being In which
brain Is master, ruling a body much
larger than the present man; a body
which has lost its floating ribs, its YER
inform appendix and its little toes, and
In which many other changes have taken
place.
THE chest and the upper and lower
limbs of the coming man will be larger"
prophesies Professor Bruner, land the fu-
ture man will be much taller than his
brother of today.
1.-THE limbs of the savage are smaller
than those of the civilized man. Many
artists fail utterly in their attempts to
depict the anatomy of the primitive man.
They place upon him limbs based on the
anatomy of Greek art. The legs of the
average man today are better than those
of the average man In the days of the
great Greek sculptors.
''The future man will live longer.
Within few generations old age will not
fall upon men until the century mark
is reached. Communicable diseases will
have been brought under complete con-
troll.
Insects which carry disease will have
been extermfnated. II is probable that
the number of mans ribs will be re-
duced by the complete loss of the float
ing ribs; and perhaps also by degener-
alton at the upper end of the thorax.
THE human foot. which has come from
grasping organ, such as we find in
some apes, to mere ambulatory append
age. will probably suffer the loss of the
fifth toe, and the man of the future will
become a four-toed animal
THE future man will not die of appen-
dicitis; even at the present time, In peo-
pie of sixty years of age, the appendix Is
closed In more than 50 per cent of the
cases observed.
II believe that the ultra blonde and
ultra brunette type will constantly de-
cline. Uniformity of the color of the
eyes and hair. however, will never be
reached.

From the New York World.

From the New York World. -
Comptroller Bird s. Coler's gubernato-
rial boom for 1902 was launched amid a
clatter of knives and forks and the cheers
of feasting thousands.
This occurred at the Christmas din
ner given by Senator Tim" Sullivan to
seven thousand of his faithful admirers
on the Bowery and the East Side, They
ate:
-Four thousand pounds Of prime turkey.
Three thousand five hundred pounds
of prime chicken.
Sixteen barrels of potatoe salad.
Seven thousand mince pies.
Three thousand loaves Of bread.
Beer and coffee enough to float an ar
mored cruiser.
Little Tim explained: you see it's
this way. These boys are all right.

wants 1t understood that these men are
his friends and guests. It's no charity
game for buns"
Coler was early on the scene. He ar
rived at the club rooms, No. 207 Bowery,
shortly afternoon and worked his way
through the feasting multitude toward
the platform. Not until he mounted the
steps and clasped the extended hand of
Little Tim did the crowd recognize
him.
Then a yell went up that made the
festeoned evergreens on wall and ceiling
sway as in mighty wind. A strenuous
orchestra was dispensing popular harmo-

queter, reaching over the edge of the
platform and grabbing the asst onished
leader by one leg,

crowd, while one of big Tins" guests
climbed upon the table. In one hand he
held a turkey wing; In the other block
of mince pie. Waving these toothsome

their teeth. There was more badness In
the days of nightcaps than there Is now.
''Thought-saving machinery will re-
lieve the future man Of much Of his pres
ent routine of brain work. Mathematical
calculations and all such drudgery will
be performed by machine and the
thought thus saved will be expended in
other pursuits.
1.-THE memory of the future man will
be of greater range, but less acute as to
useless detail.

From the giant tables went whirling
cloud of hats, turkey bones. pie plates
and beer mugs Then three roaring
cheers mingled with the crash of falling
crockery, Mr.. Coler smiled and blushed,
but otherwise ignored the fiatterina
prophecy
II am delighted to be with you," said
the Comptroller when the applause sub

Colonel Padden, in frock coat of artis-

THE FARM GARDEN.

II is not too early to begin prepafaa-
tions for this very essential farln al
unct. II takes some farmers all VIM
Ter and all summer to see the necessity
of having a well kept garden We may
create a little interest in the matter by
getting the seed catalogues and looking
them carefully over Grow everything
that your family likes that your soil
win produce. And do not forget that
queen fruit for the table-straNberrles,
put the ground In hrstclass condition
SO that il can be easily planted and
TILED. Keep ahead Of the weeds so
far as possible plant with VIDE rows
SO that the cultivator can be used.
Hand wheel hoes are useful. Get your
plants started early by growing them IN
hotbeds. Don't buy too cheep seeds lest
YOU have nothing for your trouble
Have a good variety and a succession
Of crops. Keep the ground occupied
keep things growing. II Is a good idea
TO plant all early maturing crops on
one side OF the garden, 80 that the
ground may be cleaned on and used Tor
later crops. II adds much to the beauty
of this bart of the farm TO have some
flowers constantly In blossom through
out the summer where there Is room
for them. -HorticOla,
