rNpIeaI AmerIean Woman.

Outside the ranks of rising young
actresses few women have met with
such procession Of interesting acci-
dents as the Baroness Won L.eyden
AS a child she helped an aged man
who had fallen in the street, and he
left a fortune Then she lost her self
in q Hungarian forest and was found
by the German baron who married
her. Next she was captured in
crater by italian brigands, but was
rescued by carabinieri and rewarded
for delaying her captors. Then she
lost her way in China and found the
jewelled eye of a bIddha, which She
returned to its owners, to be again
rewarded. Later on she was attacked
by a mad dog, but the brute fastened
his teeth in an ivory bracelet and she
remained unhurt. Yet again she was
captured by brigands in Macedonia,
but was released and sent on a secret
mission by the band Her latest ad-
venture involves the car He was
shooting somewhere when the baron
ess providentially got within range,
and the result is an imperial gift as
solace for a scratch on the shoulder
The lady, it is almost needless to say.
Is an American.--London Taller

THE PENNSYLVANIA HILLS

Oh the Pennsylvania hills
How majesticly they rise
TIL their nobly crested tops
Seem almost to touch the skies.
What wound'rous stories could they
Our noble mountains grand. tell
Of ali that passed before their ken
Ere man had trod the land
OF ages passed away and gone
Scarce any record left
Save here and there, upon times book
By Natures fingers deft.
A picture wound'rous to behold
OF cycles passed away.
Tho unknown centuries. wonder filled
With what, we cannot say.
There is no spot in all the land,
That so much beauty holds,
As the borders Of our Keystone state,
In rightful pride enfolds.
We love oar Pennsylvania hills.
We're proud to own the truth,
That every heart with rapture thrills
In age as well ms youth.

IS FAR THE BETTER PLAN
Wouldbe Social "cllmbers" Led Into
Amusing Mistake BY Watching
Guest Of Honor

That the advice. Watch how others

ways good to social aspirants, was H.
Illustrated in a town very near this city
the other evening at dinner given
by a Young matron in honor Of a guest
Of Acknowledged social standing
The society Of the town was there
to see this far-famed grand dame, the
social lioness and the admiration Of all
the climbers
When coffee was served, and with it
the Indispensable chocolate mints, the
guest was seen to take one Of the
sweets and toy with It gracefully over
her coffee cup. Instantly every wo-
man at the table did likewise. Evi-
IDENTIFY some new wrinkle Of fashion
was about to be exhibited. Every eye
was on the guest and on that mint
drop Determination 70 follow the
leader and give no sign that they were
not in the habit of doing this new
trick every day, was written on every
face. The sudden calm caused the
guest to look up. and as she did so
she inadvertently dropped her mint
into the tiny cup To her surprise a
series Of clinks ran around the table
as each of the rural ones followed her
mistake
Approaching the situation, the
guest hastily gulped down her coffee
to hide her mirth
Later in the evening she heard one
woman remark to another:
q don't care If It Is swell. don't
like mint in my coffee"
"Oh, dear replied the other, loftily
it is really delicious. never think
Of taking my demitasse without IT,"

Here is a story of one of Lord Cur
zon's boyish ambitions. When he was
appointed to the vice-royalty Of India
the news created some surprise, but
in receiving congratulations from his
fellow countrymen before his depart
ure he stated that the office was one to
which he had aspired while still at
school. From the time he first knew
that the government house at Calcutta
was a replica of his ancestral home,
Kedleston Hall, near Derby he deter.
mined to occupy it as governor general
Of India When the old East India
Company decided to erect a palace in
Calcutta for the residence of the vice
roy they inspected all the stately
homes Of England in search Of a
model. The palm was awarded tc

erals house at Calcutta was accord
