Henry HolisnbsrE's Terrible Experience.
H. Walker Hollenberg, formerly OF
Little Rock, who was supposed to
have been drowned at Coney Island,
August IL, is alive. Two weeks after
he was supposed to have been drown
ed Hollenberg arrived at his home in
New Rochelle, N. ]. Hollenbergs
story is that he was carried out to
sea by the undertow while in swim
ming. His cries for help attracted no
attention from the crowds on the
beach. and he had been carried out
long distance when he managed to get
hold of a piece of wreckage that
drifted toward him. and by means OF
this supported himself until rescued
by the fishing smack Mary Baker. AS
he was in bathing trunks when pick
cd up there was nothing to reveal his
identity until he became conscious,
when he was sent ashore. Hollenberg
Is suffering from serious Illness, but
his relatives hope for his ultimate re-
covery. He is a brother Of F. B. T.
Hellenberg, the well known Little
Rock music dealer.

Forty-seven American railroads dis
erininate against persons who drink
because they want TO employ clear
Drained, reliable men. Most great busi-
ness enterprises do the same thing. and
for the same reason. The doors that
young men who drink close upon them
selves by their own free act should not
be forgotten. The opportunities they lose.
the confidence they forfeit. the manhood
they are willing to risk should make
drinking in any form appear a very poor
proposition to any sane man.

PRAISES AMERICAN WOMEN.

Lady Algernon Lennox, who is
known S England's best-dressed
woman and who spoke at length ON
woman's attire at New York the
other day, continues to express her.
self freely on the subject of dress.
Lady "Algy," as her friends call her,
says she does not desire the title be-
slowed on her by the English. "There
are many American women in Eng
land," said she at the Waldorf-As-
toria, "who are better entitled to
credit for good dressing than I.
ITO my mind American women are
the finest dressers in the world. Their
success is due to the fact that they
wear becoming gowns, regardless of
the very latest fashion. Simple cos
tunes are always the most becoming,
and they are besides more economical.
"The fashions from season to sea-
son are only inventions of dressmak-
ers to catch the eye for a moment.
The woman who dresses becomingly
and comfortably is always we'll dress
ed and need pay little attention to
fashion. Nobody ever thinks of crit
icising her attire as not being strictly
up to date.
"I like short skirts, and / intend to
wear them often during my stay in
Colorado. English women are only
Just now learning how to dress. They
have taken the cue from the Ameri-
cans living in England.
"Paris, I believe, will always be
the leading city for fashionable dress
wearers. The fashions are started
there, and 1 think they will continue
to be-"

A GOOD ROAD SCHEME.

The unique figure in the Good
Roads World is State Senator Earle,
of Detroit. He was at one time con-
nected with the department of good
roads inquiries at Washington as an
expert, which Office he was obliged to
relinquish upon his election to the
Senate. He has a scheme which if
put into practice would soon bring
the millennial dawn Of good roads,
says the Philadelphia North Amsrl-
can. In explaining his scheme he
said:
tFirst, would have the govern
ment make good road maps of each
county in the United States, showing
all the public highways. l would
have bad roads painted in red, fairly
good ones in blue and the improved
roads in black. These would be pub
lished in pocket form and sold for
five cents each in all the postofices.
This would in fact compel every
farmer to see to it that his road was
improved, for he would soon see the
advantage of having his farm located
on one of the improved roads.
Second, would levy tax of so
cents year on every vehicle in the
land. This alone would yield an an
nuel revenue of several millions. 1t
would furnish all the funds necessary
for the purpose. The tax would be
trife and would be cheerfully paid
by most people so long as itwas to be
devoted to the betterment of high
ways"

TOUCH A cH1HAMAH FOR LUCK.

"The habit of touching Chinaman
has developed into a regular fad with
the women" said a bright young
woman, land it would really surprise
you to know how many women are
rushing around trying to gently brush
the clothes of Chinaman while pass
ing him on the street. 1t gives one
good luck, you know. 1t helps one
to realize ones wish in life, and gives
a sort of impetus to good fortune.
At least the habit women now have
of touching a Chinaman, as they call
it, is based on this legendary idea.
Of course, they doit playfully. They
even giggle when they do it, and
seem to get world of fun out of it.
1 saw young girl at one of the rail-
road stations few evenings ago fig
ure in rather embarrassing incident
on account of her ambition and her
effort to touch Chinaman. The
Oriental had drifted into the station,
and was evidently bent on an out-of-
town trip, and he was going at
rather rapid rate, probably fearing
that he would miss his train. AS
soon as the girl spied him she jumped
up and made a quick dart, evidently
for the purpose of crossing the China
mans path at a certain point and
just brushing him as he passed. OF
course, she would not dare to look at
the Chinaman. Here is probably
where she made mistake. At any
rate, either the girl or the Chinaman
erred. Both were walking rapidly,
and each seemed to be Indifferent to
the course of the other. She touched
the Chinaman all right, and if the
good luck incident to the act of touch
ing is measured by the vigor and
force of the touch, good fortune ought
to shower on her whole family. 1t
was a fierce collision. The girl was
embarrassed, and from the caper cut
by the Chinaman, he evidently
thought a freight train had hit him.
Yes, indeed, this business of touching
Chinaman is a regular fad now, and
if you see a girl rushing wildly and
aimlessly down the street, watch her
and see she doesn' t brush the clothes
of a Mongolian gently in passing. -
