HIS EvANEscENT COURAGE.
Juvenile Trick Rider Had "Nervous
PersDiratiOn" When q ParIo1
Match Snapped.

Dart Wantland is the five-year-old
son Of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Wantland.
and has achieved considerable summer
resort fame as the trick rider of the
Glen Park donkeys, relates the Den
yer Post. The boy is a mirth-pro-
vok1ng youngster, who carries his as
sumption Of manly dignity so far that
he sometimes gets beyond his depth in
the current of events.
This week he accompanied his moth
er to the Office OF the Broadway theater.
Coming back. she took the short cut to
Seventeenth street that leads through
the corridors Of the Brown Palace ho-
tel. and the boy, with all the manliness
OF his five years, was discussing the pros
poets of the Prince of Pilsen."
L like a show with lots Of shooting
In 1t, he was saying as they entered the
hotel rotunda. II want you to take me to
a show that's full of shootin'. l won't
be afraid Of the shootin'. It can't scare
me, not much"
This last bold asseveration was deliv-
cred as the pair were In the middle Of
the Brown rotunda The luckless boy
had attracted the notice of everyone
within earshot. and just then he stepped
on parlor match. which blew up with
what seemed like terrific bang.

to his mother and screamed in tones
OF horror. He denies he yelled muir
der" and police" but the hotel guests
who saw his sudden transition from
staggering bravery to terror say that
these were the words he shrieked.
1t was crestfallen youth who sat at
the table of the Metropole that evening,
surveying the guests and wondering
how many knew OF his inglorious de-
feat by the parlor match. A member
OF the Prince of Pilsen" company, with
whom he had struck up an acquaintance
on short notice, noted the boys look of
humility and abstraction and said:
Hello, Dart! What is the matter

The bitterness Of being laughed at

Uses of waste Paper.

Few housewives know OF the numer-
Gus uses that waste paper can be put
to. After stove has been blackened Il
can be kept in very good condition by
rubbing 1t every day with paper. The
tea kettle, tea pot and coffee Dot can
also be kept bright and clean in the
same way. Knives and tinware can be
polished till they shine like silver. Pa

THE wIFE's MORAL RIGHTS.
validating Incident which Opens
Up q Wide Field of Spec
ulati0n.

Has the wife moral right to take part
In making her husbands will? This
was the question urged recently by a
wife. says American Queen.
With a legal aspect Of the matter.
she had nothing to do; legally, he was
not bound to consult her, and, on her
side, she knew that il she had possessed
money in her own right she could dis
pose of it as she desired. So far, 1t
seemed fair to both; but in this case
the only money possessed by the couple
their married life.
1t was true that the money had been
saved out of the husbands earnings.
and had been banked and invested in his
name, but the wife declared that the
extent of the saving had been consider
ably increased by her. She had al
ways striven to make home comfortable
and to obtain the maximum of happi-
ness with minimum OF expenditure.
BY her careful household management
she had secured her object on a small
er allowance than most of her friends:
she had taken her share in the per-
Torrance OF everyday duties in the
house, and thus caused her husband less
expense for servants, breakage and GEN
eral maintenance. Had she been 80
minded. she might have spent much
more, and her husband would have ac-
cepted this increased expenditure as a
matter of course. In that event his
savings would have been less: hence
by logical reasoning, she had saved a
fair share Of the amount standing to
his credit in the bank or in stocks. and
as natural consequence, she had a
moral right to have a voice in the dis
position of the estate
In the instance of which we are
speaking, the husband recognized the
truth of the argument, and crossed ont
the distasteful condition. This incl
dent opens up a wide field of specula-
ton. AS general thing, the wife has
good moral grounds for insisting nm
taking part in the will-making. as she
Is the one who has to abide by the con.
sequences.

REMINIsCENCES OF CHICAGO's EAR.
LY DAYS.
dow the First Freight Was Shiuped
to the Civ Nv Rail-

Gas live stock market, Chicago stands
second to none," said a well-known dealer.
The figures for. 1902 show that almost
eight million head of sheep, over four mill
lion hogs, hundred thousand horses, a
quarter million calves and three million
cattle were brought to the Chicago market
last year by the big railroads that reach
out, like The Chicago & Northwestern,
into the cattle ranges and feeding grounds
all over the west. The reports show 278,-
100 carloads of live stock received here in

wasn't it?" he continued. "Did you see

prairies to market with a sled load of
hogs and when he got across the Des

THAT was in rs, the year the Galena
road, now The Chicago & Northwestern,
built its first ten miles; and young Hunt

Mayor and the big men of the town were
trying the novelty of a ride on the first

shipment of grain into town.
"They tell me, now" he went on, chat
last year that load of hogs had grown to
over 1000 carloads of live stock brought

they were, despite the numerous excursions,

JEWS URGED TO HASTEN
PRESIDENT WISHES TO FORWARD
PETITION TO ST. PETERSBURG.
MIR. Hay Informs Hebrew Leaders
There Must BE No Further Delay
Flood of Appeals.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Secretary Hay
was in further conference to-day with some
of the Jewish leaders and communicated to
them the Presidents desire that they
should call at Oyster Bay next Tuesday to
consult respecting the disposition to be
made of the Jewish petition to Russia. The
secretary took occasion to emphasize the
Presidents desire that there should be no
further delay in the submission of the petit
ton; that it will be ready next week. 1t is
probable the course to be pursued will con-
sist in the dispatch Of cablegrams to Mr..
Riddle, United States charge at st. Peters
burg, directing him to inquire of the Rus
sian government whether it is willing to re-
ceive petition. the nature Of which will be
briefly outlined by Mr.. Riddle, and further
proceedings will be governed by the Rus
sian answer.
The President has decided that the matter
of the petition must be finally disposed of
before any further effort Is made here to
compose the issues arising out of the Man.
churian situation. Therefore, it is now said
that nothing is likely to be done in regard
to Manchuria until next September by
which time, according to the last Russian
engagement, the evacuation of Manchuria
by Russian troops, save railroad guards,
should be complete. 1t is understood that
the Russian government has set up as one
reason for not sanctioning the opening of
new ports In Manchuria the necessity of al
lowing her first to complete the evacuation
of Manchuria, and, although the reasoning
is rather obscure on that point, it Is under
stood that our government is willing to
wait until September before making the
next move.
The President is being deluged with sin
gly signed petitions in behalf of the Rus
sian Jews, and these are forwarded from
Oyster Bay to the State Department by
every mail. The petitions are Identical and
declare that the action Of the United States
government in the case of the Roumanan
Jews warrants even more vigorous action
in the case OF the Russian Jews, wherefore
the President IS petitioned to "employ the
good Offices Of our government with the i'm
perial government of Russia, with the aim
Jews in Russia and making their existence
there less wretched. AS the petitions are
directed to the President alone, no oues-
ton of transmission to Russia is involved.
and they are being filed at the State De,
nal tmenf
