an unwritten rule to select as summer
chaperon a young woman OF about the
same age as the maidens and men in the
party. This works well In two ways The
chaperon. 1t has been discovered, is not
above mild Irritation on her own account
"a circumstance that keeps the odd man or
men OF the party from having q dull time
Moreover. she Is too intent on having a
good time herself to be overcritical of the
way her charges enjoy themselves
One OF the most popular chaperons at a
summer resort last season was q young
woman who was one of the Easter brides
and scarcely twenty. From all accounts
she was not selected because of an endow-
ment Of gravity beyond her years, but
mainly for her uncommon fun-maktnR pro-
penSitieS
AS result of her chaperonage. or lack
of chaperonage. there was larger percent
age of weddings than usual last winter in
that particular set, the bridegroom in sew
eral cases frankly confessing that the most
effective bit of counting he managed to
work IN was due to the chaperon As a
promoter of matrimony that particular
young woman is an unqualified success a
circumstance which has not increased the
popularity Of the modern summer chap
eron in all quarters.
One of the critics Of the new state of
things points out that marriage at any
cost Is not the keynote of American So
ciety. and also that the marriage de con-
Venance Is fast gaining ground over here
In other words, although the American
girl enjoys enviable freedom In choosing
a husband. at the same time her mother is
becoming more and more expert in piling
stumblngblocks in the way Of undesirable
suitors, one of the most formidable of
which is a chaperon VINO knows what In re-
quired Of her. -.

HAVE PET KNIVES.
Cooks and Caterers Become Foolish
About Their Use.


From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Ibid you know that cooks and caterers
hecome awfully foolish about the knives
thew use?' asked the head man in down
town restaurant. well, they do just the
same. and they come to the conclusion that
there is but one knife that can do the work
thew are in the habit of doing. and that IS
the particular knife they have been in the
habit Of using Cooks seem to have an ar
lection for the things they use, anyhow
They are more particular about the. knlie
that thew are accustomed to use than they
ora about any other article in their outfit.
ct ANYTHING happen to the knife, and you
uvil, ALWAYS find them out of sorts. l have
known many cooks who worked Tor many
vears at one place, to take their favorite
knife with them when they quit the estab-
lishment they had worked for such a long
time. 1 suppose there Is good reason why
cooks should become attached to their
knives. BARRIERS become utterly foolish
about certain razors. You have no doubt OBJ
served this fact in connection with the ton
sors. Musicians. too. become very mucn IN
love with the musical instruments the vlo-
lin. the cornet or whatever instrument tney
happen to use most. I have known rev
men who became almost as foolish about
their walking canes as about members OF
their family. It seems to be natural sort
Of thing There Is no reason why the COOK
should not become strongly attached to the
knife that has been of such good service to
him and whose slant and curve he has be-
come thoroughly familiar with. But what
ever the reason may be, cooks become ut
terly foolish about the knives they use, and
they would be as willing to part with a
dear friend or a member of their own fam
ily as to give up the knife they have been
i'm the habit of using for so long time

rival of summer and the migration to the
country there comes a change. The winter
chaperon may as likely as not turn over
her duties to her just married daughter.
So long as Mrs" Is prefixed to her
name the age of the summer chaperon
does not seem to matter. The bride OF a
few weeks is just as eligible for the post
as her grandmother-more so. In fact. This
state of things, in the opinion of some con-
servative people. is only preliminary
stage to having no chaperon at all and Is
Indicative of the growing independence of
American girls. especially in summer.
On the other hand, the new order Of sum-

THE MAD MULLAH.
Mohammed Abdileh, of somaliland, the
Second Mahdi.

From the st. James Gazette.
The name of Mohammed Abdileh conveys
little to English ears, but nevertheless 1t
is that Of a man who has a very wide repu-
tation. and whose appearance in the news
papers ia an everyday occurrence. AS the
Mad Mullah of Somaliland. Mohammed
Abdileh is well known. But little is known
of this second Mahdi, whose influence over
the warlike tribes of Somaliland has
caused so much trouble and expense to the
government. He was born Of poor parents,
owning a few cattle in the southern por-
ton of Somaliland In his youth Moham-
med was initiated into the mysteries Of the
occult sciences and sorcery. These he
learned among the tribe Of the Danakil,
which has always been renowned for Its
magtcians A study Of the Koran and the
Arab writings followed in the Marabout
school, When quite young the future Null
lah was taken with the idea Of making the
pilgrimage to Mecca. and. not content with
ono journey, made the sacred visit three or
four times. His object was to obtain q
greater reputation for holiness than that
held by the other pilgrims.
After his last pilgrimage Mohammed re-
turned to Berbera, but met with small sue
cess in that commercial town. Seeing no
prospect before him but that Of remaining
poor. begging pilgrim. he determined to
strike out q new line for himself. and es-
tribe Pe Here he made his POSITION position secure
by his appearance Of holiness. his impress
sive airs and the assurance with which he
made his prophecies. At this time and
thereafter the magic learned in his boyhood
stood him in good stead whenever his Jholi-
ness was not able to overawe his somewhat
turbulent followers. He assumed the title
of Mullah (priest and heaven-senD, and
even that Of MaAdi (propheO. Overwhelrl-
ed with presents by his credulous followers,
Mohammed Abdileh soon was among the
richest of the land, and with his riches his
influence grew apace.
His pride waxed very great and one day
he ordered all the Korans of the ordinary
priests to be burned, saying that he HIM
self was the living Koran. and that he was
to be obeyed as a new prophet sent from
Allah. Not content with persuasion. the
Mullah, following the example set by Mo-
manned the Great, threatened with death
all those who disbelieved. and in following
I'D these threats caused the disturbances
which brought about the Somaliland cam
paign. Possessing the power Of calling
forth the enthusiastic support Of the tribes
men, the Mullah has not had to rely upon
himself alone for the conduct Of his cam
paigns II report speak truly, besides the
Austrian Karl Inger. he has as lieutenant
an English naval officer. who. after his
disgrace in the service. sought a career and
revenge in the midst of the Mullahs tribes.

Peter Marie's Successor.

FROM the New 1ork fress.
Apparently the mantle of Peter Marie has
fallen on the shoulders Of Lispenard Stew
art AS Mr.. Mara was the most hospitable
and popular bachelor of his day. so Mr..
Stewart is now. Ten years ago most of the
important men and women who visited this
city were entertained by Mr.. Marie in his
S7th street house. and. in a way. he was
sort of social arbiter. The prettiest women
OF the lily attended his parties. Mr. Stew
art is using similar tactics. His dinners at
Newport are becoming famous. They have
taste as well as dash. He played host to
the Countess Of Minto, and his coming din
ner for Miss Alice Roosevelt will be I'M

leys and the Rhinelanders, and always has
been known IL, society. For a while he dab
bled in politics, but tired of this and re-
turned to his own preserves. He is a man
Of independent means.

DEGENERATE BEARS
In the Adirondacks They Have Become
a Race Of Mere Camp Followers

From the New York Sun.
THE tameness and impudence of the
bears In Yellowstone Park have been com.
mented on great deal Of late by the news
papers," said native Adirondack dweller.
but 1 doubt If those bears can beat our
Adirondack bears much in that respect
There was time when the Adirondack
bear was as wild and shy and fierce as his
Pennsylvania or Sullivan county brethren
are reported to be. but as a rule he has

AT camps or club houses where they
have not been disturbed bears have in
many instances forgotten their shyness and
fear of danger to such a degree that they
come staggering to the very kitchen doors
and. If not chased from there, do not hesi-
tate to enter the camp itself and nose
around for choicer morsels than the Har
bage pail contains. Bears became such q
nuisance in this way at Garry Benson'e

"At the district school at Sanders Mill,
on the Mad river, a big bear came SLOUGH

ago. and advanced directly on the school
house. Some Of the children had eaten
their luncheon on the grass in front Of the
building.
1.-The bear stopped and licked I'D the
crumbs and remnants of the repast and
then stuck his head in at the school house
door. The screams of the pupils and the
school ma'am frightened bruin, and he hur-
ried back into the woods.
1.-The next day the bear came to the
school house at about the same hour, and
ate the crumbs and crusts he found the
grass. He didn't venture to the school
house door again. though. and after he had
cleaned up the reD1nants OF the school
lunch he went slowly back to the woods
His visits became OF daily regularity,
and 1t being evident that he came with no
evil intent, the teacher, and now and then
a pupil, took to tossing him an apple or
other bit Of luncheon and finally to feeding
him out of hand. until now, 20 Il is re-
