Men, Women
and Things

ferred upon two of it's most prominent
and useful citizens, Mr.. A. J. Eddy and
Allison Armour. These two gentlemen
not long ago went to a court ball in
Berlin, and so fearfully and wonder
fully We're they arrayed that the en-
peror was Visibly impressed. Indeed a
chicago paper states gravely that he
conferred upon them the order of the
red raven split of the second class. This
costume, which the two Chica goites
adopted for court purposes, is said to
be somewhat of a cross between that
OF an Elizabethan knight and of the
villain in comic opera, and so strik-
ing was it that many are freely pre-
dieting that it will be adopted by the
men of this country for evening dress
Since we have become world power
and SHE'D our castor into the interna-
tional ring we must not only live up
to the proud position. but dress up to
it.
Stomach Like an Ostrich's.
There is a man in Erie county, New
York, who has a strong stomach The
other day he experienced such a severe
pain that the doctors decided to open
him and see what caused the disturb
ance. In his stomach they found 453
carpet tackS, 142 screw nails, Al knife
blades. 40 pin points, 6 IL ounces of
ground glass and a wire chain. The
young man is only twenty-four and is
In fair way to recover, now that he
has got rid of the articles that caused
his indigestion. 1t is reported that he
was cook, but it is not stated whether
the family for whom he worked were
also fed upon nails and tacks.
Who Paid for kilograms?
The kilograms sent to the senate and
signed with the name of Rockefeller
have at last been explained. 1t seems
lDy he NJ d
feller's mind and realizing what a busy
and what great man he is took the
liberty of signing his great name to
the kilograms. This explanation is very
acceptable and might have occurred to
most anyone before this because it is
known to the outside world that Mr.
Rockefeller is too busy to sign such lit
tie things as kilograms. When it came
to sending kilograms to United States
senators containing wise advice Mr..
Rockefeller would naturally leave it to
an attorney who knows so well how
to word business communications The
only thing in the whole matter which
would give anyone anxiety is the fact
of the cost of the kilograms, which
would naturally fall upon Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter and would be heavy, as a lawyer
is so given to words. Some Sunday
school must have lost by it.
Is a Disinterested Spectator.
Mr.. Herberger, of New York, is a
very fortunate or unfortunate man,
just as you happen to consider him.
The other night he went home, as usual
expecting fond greeting from his
spouse, when at the downstairs door
of the apartment house in which he
lives he was met by two men who
stated that they desired to speak to
him on matter of business. He in
them cta nd
women and a man sitting in his par
Tor. One of the women rose and re-
marked that she was his first wife, and
just then one of the detectives re-
marked that he was under arrest and
his second wife shrieked "husband!"
and fell in his arms. Mr.. HerbergerS
troubles seeming to come in car load
lots and with rapidity which took his
breath away, he side-stepped to the
front door, and said What does this
mean?- "Villain!" shouted No. /
Conspiracy weakly murmured No. 3,
who was coming out of her faint, and
Mr.. Herberger sat down meekly, while
the women proceeded to hold talkfest
which became so loud and involved
that the detectives concluded the case
was too much for them. The most
serious allegation made by No I was
that he had torn her Persian lamb
coat upon an occasion when they had
differed. The Herberger differences
are not yet adjusted, but he is so thor
oughly cowed that he does not much
care who wins.
Small Potatoes.
The Duryea divorce case, which has
become famous in New York is drag
gfng it's slow length along and doing
good turn merely to newspaper par
agraphers. Mr.. Duryea, who is, of
course, wretch because his wife says
so, and she ought to know, makes va
riouS allegations against Mrs D.
Among other things he says that she
remarked to him on one occasion, "AS
compared with my mother and myself,
you are a person of no consequence"
This it seems hurt Mr.. Duryea's feel
ings; while it appears to others a self
evident proposition. Almost any man
who lives with his wife and his mother
in-law will testify to the truth of Mrs
Duryea's assertion.
A Strike of Genius.
The following notice appeared re-
Gently in the New York Herald: "Cul-
tured author will marry sweet woman
who will settle $1,000 on him and live
in Europe. Please address with age,
photo and proof of good faith" etc
There is a frankness about the writer
that is refreshing in this age of subter-
could be expected from a cultured au-
thor. sweet woman with $4,000 or
$4,000 need not apply, nor a lady who
does not desire to depart for Europe
Immediately after the ceremony. Pre-
sumably the cultured author intends to
live in this country, and not wanting
to deceive any sweet woman he states
the whole matter plainly in his first
notice. The only inconsistency is his
desire to obtain her photo and know
her age. If she settles the 81, 900 on
him and goes to Europe at once why
should he care what she looks like or
how old she is? A genius is often i'm
practical, though this one shows more
than ordinary acumen in asking for
proof of good faith. The picture of a
certified check would surely convince
him of the sweet woman's worthiness.
New York is negotiating for moving
sidewalks. All st. Paul desires is clean
sidewalks.
Uncle Russell Sage is arranging to
