MRS. POTTER PALMER.
C~hicago's Recognized Society Leader
Says That City Will Always BE
Her Real Home.

Mrs. Potter Palmer has been pre-
vailed upon by her friends to remain in
Chicago. Recently it was reported
that Chicago's famous leader of So
ciety would leave that city and make
her home elsewhere. Her friends i'm
mediately began to importune her to
remain and their efforts nave been sue

Mrs. Palmer to a Chicago American re-
porter. Il have always been loyal to
this city and l shall not desert it for
any other.
"Of course | shall spend time in other
cities. | shall doubtless go abroad
again when my period of mourning is
over and shall possibly visit various
points in the east when the season is

AVARICE IS HEALTHY.
Keeps One Cool, Encourages Indus
try, AbstemiOusness and
Steadiness.

"The passions effect on the health
is not sufficiently regarded" says a
physician in the Philadelphia Record.
'The passion which is best for the
health is ~avarice. 1t keeps one cool,
encourages regular and industrious
habits, leads to abstemiousness and
makes against all excess. And hence
the avaricious, the misers, live to a
great age. The misers of history were
all noted for their longevity. Rage is
very bad for one. The passion causes
an irregular, intermittent beating of
the heart, and the intermittency in
time may become chronic. Hatred
creates fever. If we hate we grow
lean. This hot passion eats us like a
flame. Fear is bad for the nerves, the
heart and the brain, and, therefore,
we should permit ourselves to
be afraid. But the strangest effects of
all have been caused by the passion of
grief. The medical books record
cases where, coming suddenly, in a
violent shock, it has caused a loss Of
blood from the lungs in one person
paralysis of the tongue in another, and
a failure of sight, or temporary blind
ness in a third"

Plant with Magnetic Power

There has been discovered in the for
ests of India a strange plant which
possesses astonishing magnetic pow
er. The hand which breaks a leaf from
it immediately receives a shock equal
to that which is produced by the con
ductor of an induction coil. At a dis.
tance of 20 feet a magnetic needle is
affected by it, and it will be quite de-
ranged if brought near. The energy
of this singular influence varies with
the hours of the day. All-powerful
about two o'clock in the afternoon If
is absolutely annulled during the
night. At times of storm it's intensity
augments to striking proportions.
Birds and insects never alight on this
plant; an instinct seems to warn them
that they would find their sudden
death. None of the magnetic metals
are found where it grows, which is a
proof that the electric force belongs
exclusively to the plant.

FELL IN LOVE WITHOUT DELAY.

looked with marked disfavor upon tn,
attentions of Mr.. Hailfellow to Miss
Fairlady. Sad to relate, that led these
two young souls, who were ratherfond
of communion with each other, free
from foreign Intervention, to seek the
protection, nov and then, of subter-
fuge-not to say deceit.
One particularly bright and beauti-
full Sunday Hailfellow called at the
Overnice residence just the regulation
time before church. He and Miss Fair
lady started away, as if of course they
were going to the most approved place
of worship in the city. But they were
not, unless worshiping nature in her
most attractive temple is the approved
worship.
They went off for a long, delightful
stroll into the suburbs. And they
artfully returned just about the time
they would naturally be expected back
from church. p
Probably no suspicion would have
rested upon them had not the harum-
scarum Hailfellow remained at the
house so long that Mrs. Overnice was
compelled to invite him to remain for
luncheon, which he promptly consent
ed to do. Something in his manner ex-
cited the DANES suspicion, and at the
table she commenced to examine the
witness.
Il hope you had a good sermon to-
day, Mr.. Hailfellow, wherever you at
tended church,"
"Oh, yes, madame; a very good SER
mon, indeed"
where did you go?"
"To the first church."
1.-The First-ah-Presbyterian?"
"No, universal"
Mrs. Overnice looked startled, but
didn't conclude to commit herself too
much to the theory of guilt.
"Was the music fine?"
"The finest hat 1 ever heard"
"Solos-duets-vocal and instru-
mental, l suppose?"
Vocal, fundamentally vocal. and
in chorus-a grand, sweet song, by oh,
sc many, many singers!"
THAT was very nice. l would rather
enjoy hat kind of music myself. BY
the way, what was the text, Nh. Hail
fellow?"
"a new commandment 1 give unto
you, that We love one another"
There was a chorus" of smiles from
the other members of the party, and
Mrs. Overnice subsided.-N. Y. Times.

THE NEW COMMANDMENT.
How Mr.. HailfeIIow Turned n Trying
Situation Into the Triumph
of His Life.

Mrs. Overnice had for her guest las
autumn pretty Miss Fairlady, a mod
est, educated, highly cultured, but al
together lovable girl, such as any we'll
regulated young man who is not 10Th
erwise engaged" ought to fall in love
with without delay.
Henry Hailfellow became acquainted
with her, and fell into the habit OF
calling atthe Overnice home rather toe
often to suit the taste of proud Nine
Overnice. That is to say, he called toe
often with the avowed purpose of pay
ing his respects to Miss Fairlady; for
it should be known, Mrs. Overnice had
adaughter whom she had taken infinite
pains to train up in the way that she
should go, and she had no objections
to her taking the matrimonial route,
under favorable auspices, and was not
at all sure but that Hailfellow was
himself a favorable auspice.
So it became all too apparept for the
comfort of any of the young people

Must give a birthday ball
To celebrate the grand event,
Our Bright-Eyes' coming out;
Just leave arrangements all to me-

Expense? oh, that is nothing, dear
You need not have a care
l know where there is dainty food
In plenty and to spare.
The invitations shall be sent
In proper form-you see
Our Bright-Eyes must be introduced
To good society"
The evening came. The lights were bright
In Mr.. Mousie's hall,
n mirthful squeaking there was heard
AT Bright-Eyes' birthday ball
When suddenly the awful voice
OF Floss, the pussycat,
Cried ut:"Meow! meow! meow!
l wonder what you're at?''

She was not asked to Gomez
With squeak of terror and alright
Each mouse rushed madly home.

LARGEST CAPTIVE E
The Distinction Beyond Question
Goes to a Grizzly in Golden
Gate Park

Without doubt the largest captive
grizzly bear in the world may be seen
in the Golden Gate park, San Francisco,
Cal. This bear was captured by an old
and experienced bear hunter and trap
per; was purchased by a wealthy gen
tleman, and presented to the city OF
San Francisco and placed in the park,
The bear was caught in a powerful
log trap away up amid the rugged soil
tudes of the great Sierra Nevadamoun-
tains. The trap was temptingly bait
ed and the animal deliberately walked
to his fate, and became a prisoner. At
the time of his capture the bear vas
full grown, in fact, was middle aged.
For a time the animal was sullen, fero-
cious, and wild with fury by turns.
1t was no easy or safe task to trans
fer the bear to a strong iron cage
and bring him by team and rail to San
Francisco. But finally the savage,
powerful monster was safely landed
in the park. He was appropriately
named Monarch, by reason of his enor-
nous size and weight. From his mar
row prison Monarch was transferred
to a large spacious cage constructed
Of steel. Escape from this inclusure
is impossible.
AS to his exact weight there is much
conjecture. That has not been deter
mined, as the bear has never been
placed on a scale. Good judges esti-
mate it at not far from 1000 pounds.
The bears appearance justifies that
conclusion. The animal is kept roll
ing fat" He has very comfortable
quarters and plenty of food which
tickies his palate. Near the center
of his cage is a long, deep iron box
kept full of water. Like every other
bear, Monarch hugely enjoys his bath,
and spends much of his time disport-
ing in the water.

BIG GAMBLING PROFITS.
Man Who Controls Game in n Mexi-
can State Makes Two Million
Dollars n Year.

Did you ever hear of the imam who
broke the bank of Camanea?'
Possibly not. as the Camanea
gambling resort has not attained the
fame and prestige which is given to
Monte Carlo. The bank is there,
and it equals, if it does not exceed,
it's better-known rival in the domain
of the prince of Monaco, says the
Chicago Tribune.
Frank L. Proctor is the ruler of
this gambling territory. In extent it
is far greater than the territory of
the prince. 1t occupies an entire
state in Mexico. Frank Proctor has
absolute sway over the state of
Sonora. The government of Mexico
has given him a long term lease on
the gambling privileges.
Camanea is the richest and largest
mining camp in Mexico. 1t is in the
center of Proctor's gambling princi-
pality. Not many years ago Proc
tor, now prince of Camanea, was a
cowboy in Arizona, not extremely
well fixed in this worlds goods.
Not many years ago W. c. Green
married a daughter of Proctor and
afterwards managed to attract some
eastern capital to mining schemes he
had on foot in Sonora. To-day he
owns a $780, OO, 900 copper mine.
Through Green Proctor IA pro-
vided with the gambling privilege in
the state. The concession gives him
the income of a multimillionaire.
Over the gambling tables at Ca
manea it is said that 100000 passes
every night. Some days the total
amount has run up to $4,000 1t re-

Took the Doctor,. ADVICE.

A Pittsburg physician was visited
the other day by a very V man,
who had dropped in to secure medical
advice. After a brief examination, the
doctor said there was nothing much
the matter with his visitor. '.Take a
tonic and dismiss from your mind all
that tends to worry you," concluded
the physician. Several months later the
patient received a bill for eighteen dol
lars, together with a polite request to
'splease remit" This is the reply the
nervous man made: "Dear Doctor, I
have taken a tonic and your advice.
Your bill tends to worry me, and so 1
dismiss it from my mind" And yet the
doctor was not pleased because his ad-
vice had been taken.
