"Just the reason l Sent for you. my

Spanish dances have q certain resem.
blance to the dances Of the east. In
country ones idea Of u dance Is
something in which the movement is
due to the legs. In japan aud in Egypt
the legs have very little to do with the
dance. The exquisite rhythms of Jap
anese dances are produced by the sub
tie gesture Of hands, the manipulation
Of scarfs. the delicate fluctuations of
the body. In Arab dances aud in the
daAse du ventre the legs are more near
y Motionless. The legs are only used
to assist In producing the extraordi-
nary movements Of the stomach and
the hips in which SO much of the dance
consists.
1t is a dance in which the body sets
itself to its own rhythm. Spanish
dancing. which no doubt derives its
eastern color from the MOors, is al
most equally a dance Of the whole
body. and it's particular characteristic
the action of the hips-is due to a
physical regularity of the Spaniards,
whose spines have a special and unique
curve Of their own.

lSTUFFED BLACK BEARS.
The Reason They Are Used ~ signs
By the Eurclera.

The Reason They Are Used ~ signs
~ the Furriers.
The man who to New York
only once in ten years said he could
not understand why the bears in Cen
trail park seemed 20 much more stuck
up than the rest of the animals, but
after he had travelled about town for
several days he saw through it. 1t was
because 30 per cent Of the furriers in
town have chosen a big black bear for
pn advertising sign. Why the other an-
finals in the zoo should be 80 discrimi-
mated against puzzled the man not a
little. One day he asked a furrier
about It.
1T is because the bears last longer
than anything else.'' said the furrier.
"Of all the animals in New York l
don't know of any that have Il harder

ers. 1t doesn't make any difference
what kind of weather comes along.
whether 1t blows hot or cold. those fel-
lows have to stand ut their post and
swelter or freeze. as the case may be.
Naturally all those changes are pretty
hard OH their hide. and none but bears
can stand the strain. Some furriers
have tried the fox, the lynx and other
animals now and then at a venture.
but they have mostly come back to the
bear as the most satisfactory of the lot.
They cost more too. A good stuffed
bear m as high as $75. but IL he is
treated well he will last for twenty
five years. so that brings him down to
a comparatively low price after ALL

A R~EsouRCEFUL LAWYER.
An Inspiration That Won . Case He

A Philadelphia lawyer tells the story
that a picture of Fanny Davenport
once won Il ease for him. His client
was suing the Pennsylvania Railroad
company. of which Wayne MacVeagh
was counsel. for $500 damages for
the death of her husband. ".Just a few
days before the case was to have come
up she happened into my Office and an
nounced that she had married again.
Good Lord. madam l gasped, why
couldn't you have waited until your
case came up? It's next to impossible
for me to get damages for you now
She said she didn't carr very much,
and went out. seeming very happy.
Well, it just happened that l had a
photograph of Fanny Davenport on my
desk, and when the next day Wayne
MacVeagh happened into my Office to
discuss quite another matter he picked
up the photo and admired it. Who's
your friendY he asked. / had a sudden
inspiration, and l sand: why, that's
the lady who is suing your company
for $500 The deuce you say said
he. Handsome woman. isn't sheY She

claimed, looking ut the picture closely.
"A deuced handsome woman, l should

There was u slight pause. 'What'Il you

A FOREIGN PRODUCT.


America Has Not Yet Developed the
"perfect SpenLthrift."
Uncconomical and cxtravagant as we
are, we have not yet developed the

quickly Is a rarity with us. High as our
standard Of living and Of the ordinary
expense Of living iA, standard of
what might he called profligate extrav-
agance is by no means SO high. OF
course pretty large sums are wasted In
various forms Of dissipation here as
elsewhere. But that Is not the point.
To take the single item of gambling,
how often do we hear of Il mans being
ruined by it here? No doubt we hear
stories of tremendous SUM lost and
won, but such sums do not seem either
Ito make or to break" anybody. For
men whose incomes are reckOned by
the hundreds Of thousands or millions
to play hundred dollar poker is no
great recklessness. But how often do
we see young men Of the small salaried
sort punting $1,000 or $1,000 at a time
at baccarat. is you can any day in
France? We have not the instinct to
save and scrape for eleven months in
the year and then shell out all Our
savings in a fortnight.

old provincial family. Legitimist to the

young fellow as one would care to

to have been overlooked and left out in

said he, ''Or into the cardro0m Of u

A louis limit! I wonder what clubman

 ''I've got to send man up there right away. Perhaps we can get there in time to head them off. They have to send their man over'- He cast his eye rapidly over the men.

 '"Tim Shearer might do it." suggested

"Thats all right" said he, ''but you betcher life don't blow this stake"

 "Yes, but this is different. I'm goin' to git married on this. How's that?''
 Thorpe, his attention struck at last, stared at his companion.
 "Who is she?" he asked abruptly.
 'She used to wash at Camp Four"
 Thorpe dimly remembered the wom- an noW-an overweighted creature with certain attraction of elfish!E blowing hair, with a certain pleasing, full checked, full bosomed health.
 The two walked on in re-established silence. Finally the giant, unable to contain himself longer, broke out again.

somefof that water here.
 So finally the drive approached its end and all concerned began in antici- patton to taste the weariness that awaited them. The few remaining tasks still confronting them all at once seemed more formidable than what they had accomplished. The work for the first time became logged, distaste- full. Even Thorpe was infected. He. too, wanted more than anything else to drop on the bed in Mrs. Hathaway's boarding house. There remained but a few things to do. A mile of sacking would carry the drive beyond the in duence of freshet water. After that there would be no hurry.
 He looked round at the hard, fatigue worn faces of the men about him, and he suddenly felt great rush of affec- ton for these comrades who had so un- reservedly spent themselves for his af- fair. Their features showed exhaus- ton, 1t is true, but their eyes gleamed still with the steady, half humorous purpose of the pioneer. When they caught his glance they grinned good humoredly.
 All at once Thorpe turned and start ed for the bank.
 '"That I'll do, boys," he said quietly to the nearest group. She's down" It was noon. The sackers looked up in surprise. Behind them, to their very feet, rushed the soft smooth slope of Hemlock rapids. Below them flowed a broad, peaceful river. The drive had passed it's last obstruction. To all in- tents and purposes it was over.
 Calmly, with matter of fact direct ness, as though they had not achieved the impossible, they shouldered their peaVeys and struck into the broad wag- on road. Tn the middle distance loomed the tall stacks of the mill, with the lit tie board town about it. Across the eye spun me thread of the railroad Far away gleamed the broad expanses of Lake Superior.
 The men paired off naturally and fell into dragging, dogged walk. Thorpe found himself unexpectedly with Big Junko For time they plodded on without conversation Then Inc big man yenEnred Z rem ax
