SUMNER VACATlO
Mrs.TeIIer learns Things

" ARLY this October Mrs. Teller
- returned from her summer out
ing. She spent it variously-
now at seaside hotel, now al
a farmhouse, again visiting friend In
high style suburban village.
Wherever she went she was thrown
mostly among women. This hen party
phase Of human existence interested
her In two or three days at the sea
side hotel she had sort of good
morning and good evening" acquaint-
ance with a coterie of ladies who
seemed to have nothing to do but sit
upon the verandas, knit eternally and
talk. Mrs. Teller is a student of the
higher culture among women, that
which lifts them above the petty, the
spiteful and the shallow. She desired
to see how far this higher culture had
struck in on womankind in general,
and she began investigating among
those who haunted the veranda She
hoped soon there were not many like
them. The ladies possessed what
seemed to be an uncanny intuition for
divining facts in peoples lives that
were not to their credit. Once Mrs.
Teller commented to veranda lady
on the beauty of sunset The lady
said:
THAT girl down there seems to be en-
joying 1t, flirting with the hotel keepers
son. She's engaged to a rich old man
whom her mother is going to make her
marry, and here she is carrying ON
with young Crabs-on-T Toast in 9 way
that's perfectly awful
Half dozen of the veranda ladies'
echoed, Perfectly awfulr' Mrs. Teller
concluded Miss Moneylove could not
be girl whose acquaintance was de-
sirable. But half an hour after she
had been pronounced perfectly awful
by the veranda coterie she came in,
and every blessed woman of them
greeted her as If she had been their
dearest friend
Dear mew exclaimed Mrs Teller to
herself. How unlucky l was in the
get out of this and find a place where
: there are nice women"
She went to a rural neighborhood
and had lodgings in a farmhouse 1t
was beautiful spot; the farm people
were up to date in respect to house
hold cOnveniences. All seemed to
breathe of peace, purity and good will
Here l shall be happy" said Mrs.
Teller to herself after few days
There is evidently more of the higher
culture among farm women than
among those of the cities. When these
good women meet one another they
manifest sisterly kindness and cor
diality that is beautiful and most en-
couraging to a believer in race perfec-
ton. These are nice women"
Mrs. Teller went driving in the idyl-
lie neighborhood. She had the homes

SENATOR DUBOIS AND THE NOR
MONS.

New York Evening Sun.
"There Is report in Washington,
on what is described as ''trust worthy
authority, that an emissary Of the
Mormon church recently called on
Senator DUBOIS of Idaho and promis-
ed him its support for re- election
continuously if he would desist from
his efforts to unseat Senator Reed
Smoot of Utah. he reply of Mr..
Dubois was what might have been
expected: The price asked for a
senatorship was altogether too high.
Ii the story is true Senator Dubois
will be a marked man IN Idaho, and
even if the Mormons do not hold the
balance of power, as is asserted, they
are strong enough to make his return
TO the senate highly improbable. 1t

of spirit and independence on the
part of the senator, and his political
career shows that he is something of
fighter. He has not been model

THE COOLEST
TOWN ON EARTH

In the Yakutsk district the Their
mometer is known to fall as low as
eighty degrees Fair below zero.
The inhabitants (the Yakuts) of
this district are very interesting
peoble. as it is evident that they
are of different type from the
surrounding Mongolian tribes.
Professor A. II. Keane, in his
"Man.. Past and Present" says;
"They are almost the only progress
sive aboriginal people in Siberia,
although numbering not more than
100000 souls, concentrated chiefly
along the river banks on the
plateau between the Lena and the
Adam. In the Yakuts we have an
extreme instance of the capacity of

They not merely exist but thrive
and display a considerable degree
of energy and enterprise in the

SPANISH GUNS IN CUBA.
United States Promised Spain She
Could Have Them.

Washington, May 31.-Secretary
Hay has had a conference at the
war department with Secretary
Root regarding the disposition of
ordnance in Cuba which formerly
belonged to Spain. By the terms of
the protocol Spain was allowed to
take all movable property from
Cuba, including the arms and am
munition in the forts and arsenals.
There has been a dispute over the
question as to whether or not the
guns and carriages and heavy ar
tillery, especially that mounted in
the forts, was movable property.
The United States government
wanted Spain to take away all such
material as she claimed previous to
the time that the American occupa-
ton ceased, but she did not do so,
Spain desiring TO sell the property
to the United States. This govern
ment did not desire to purchase.
The property not having been taken
away during the American occupa-
ton, it is now claimed by Cuba
Cuba does not want to purchase
and pay for it, and so the CORE
spondence has been on for some
time. The two secretaries and some
army officers went over the matter
today and the matter will be fur
Their reported on by General Crozier,
chief of ordnance.
