CASE OF SATISFIED AMBITION.
Young Woman's Lone-Wished For De-
sire Gratified.

Two young women were discussing
their late vacations at a well-known
club for business women down town,
says the New York Press. One OF
them said enthusiastically:
"Of course. you found the scenery
inspiring, but what part of your trip
did you really enjoy the most?"
The other woman gave vent to a
ripping laugh and replied:
We'll, If you want to know the
truth, it was my meals in the restaur-
ants attached to the various stations
where | made close connections"
The first speaker, a confirmed trav-
eler, gasped incredulously, but the
second continued her explanation:
1T was the first time in my life that
really felt free to spend money just as
| liked and took a childish satisfac-
tion in the depot restaurants-not
lunch counters. mind you, but dining
rooms with real tables and table
cloths. AS child | suffered tortures
of indigestion and modification from
being forced to eat out of a family
lunch basket where everything had alb
sorbed the flavor of everything else.
To leave that lunch basket or shoe
box at home and enter the sacred pre-
cincts OF a depot restaurant was one
of the ambitions of my girlhood. l
presume no ambition is so small that
its qualification does not bring a GER
tain sense of exultation."

'cAPSIGUM VASELlNE)
Mummy FOUND In Colorado.

The discovery Of the mummy o. a
cliff dweller was made last week by
Mrs. Jeanette r. Newcomer, wife OF
John Newcomer, assistant states at
torney of Chicago, in an excavation
made by her in a burial village in
the Grand canyon of the Colora 0.
The mummy was taken to Chicago

It will probably be given to a local
educational institution. The mummy
is said to be the most perfect of It's
kind ever found. 1t is that of a man
about five and one-half feet tall. On
one side of the head there is a mass
of soft brown hair All of the teeth
are perfect. The lower portion Of the
body was wrapped in a coarse sack
ing cloth. The right leg below the

Fad of Musical Composer.

Some curious anecdotes are related
of Hermann Zumpe, the Wagnerian
conductor at Munich, who died sud
denly few weeks ago. He was well
known to be a spiritualist and be-
lever that the ghosts of dead COM
posers inspired his conducting their
works. One day Zumpe told another
conductor of note how Beethoven's S
spirit was present during the perform
ance OF one of the symphonies and so
pleased was the ghost after the end
of the first movement he exclaimed,
"At last!" ''Ah, my dear fellow" ex-
claimed the other conductor, surely
Beethoven made a mistake. He
thought it was the end of the last
movement"

KipIing's Destroyed Writinqs.

Kipling throws good deal of his
work into the waste basket, but it is
some time since any of it went into
such receptacle owned by some 9th

reputation, it is his duty to write up
to it. On one occasion, when in a
heroic mood, he destroyed a whole
book. The title of this unborn work
was "Forty-fve Mornings" After it
was finished he asked Robert Barr to

Leo's Gifts in Kind.

The most remarkable feature of the
estate of Pope Leo XIII proves to be
the enormous gifts in kind which for
years flowed in upon Leo XIII from the
while civilized world. These, it ap-

are now being unearthed for the first

quantities of rare furs and still more
precious collections of bi:>ls from Bra

through having been simply slowed
away as they arrived, without even
being unpacked. The losses incurred
In this way represent very large sum.

Give me white paper
This which you use is black and rough
with SmearS
Of sweat and CRIME and fraud and blood
and tears,
Crossed with the story of mems sins
and fears,
OF battle and of famine all these years
When all Gods children have forgot
their birth,
And drudged and fought and died like
beasts of earth.
Give me white paper,
One storm-trained seaman listened to
the word;
What no man saw he saw; he heard
what no man heard.
In answer he compelled the sea
To eager man to tell
The secret she had kept so well,
Left blood and guilt and tyranny be-

Sailing still west the hidden shore to
find:
For all mankind that unstained scroll

Where God might write anew the story

Sources of the Earthquakes.

The great earthquakes are traced
by committee of the British associa-
ton to eight districts, of which seven
are beneath the ocean. Five fringe
the shores of the Pacific, one is in the
Indian ocean, one in the West Indies,
and the eighth is in the Caucasian
Himilayan region. Each of these
earthquakes shook the entire earth,
while the broken up strata left gave
numerous after shocks. The earth
