"No, MT. Slowup." said the fair pos sessor of the square chin, "I must re- spectfully decline to become your other half"
 "B-but why?" asked the astonished young man who had figured from his form sheet that it was he under the wire in canter.
 Because" replied the female ex- tender of the frosty digit, "the man I marry must be brave and fearless, Tonight you let out the information that you have loved me for five long, weary years but have not dared men, tion it until the present writing. A man who has no more nerve than that would hide under the bed while his wife went downstairs to interview a burglar who was making raid on the family Harder. Therefore, MT.

ABOUT THE RED-HEADED GIRL
She Possesses Qualities of Which Her Darker Sisters Cannot
 Claim Possession.

A champion of the red-headed girl has .come to the front. Not that the girl in question is greatly in need of a champion. In nine cases out of ten she Is abundantly able to care for herself without assistance from any source, says the Chicago Chronicle. But this advice of "the girl with the auburn hair" defies the world to dispute the truth of these five propositions:
 The red-headed girl can
 i. Detect the odor of a previous high ball further, quicker and with more unerring instinct than any other being on earth.
 ?. Nail lie and bore deeper holes with her penetrating eye in so doing than any other thing that has eyes.
 3. Make any he ass of liar look like 30 cents quicker and with less effort than any other living thing.
 4. Break a mans morning nap and hustle him to build the fire in the range quicker, surer and with less back talk than any other style of womankind.
 5. She is the only known species who can throw a missile with accurate aim and who does not endanger the lives of innocent bystanders.

one-client Lawyers.

The poverty of. briefiess barristers is as proverbial as that of the church mouse. It would not be an unnatural mistake to consider barrister with only one client hardly better off than one with none. But the modern "one- client lawyer" is usually prosperous individual. Said man well known in the business world some years ago to friend: T want a young lawyer to put down at a desk beside mine. I'll famil- iarize him with my affairs, and then I want him to keep me out of trouble. 2 The counterpart of this lawyer, whose duty 1t is to act as his own clients ounce of prevention, may be found in the office of many large concerns. He Is often connected with trust com panies, banks. banking houses, rail- road and other transportation com panies and large wholesale mercan- tile houses. When a merchant found himself in a tangle. it was once the custom for him to go to his lawyer for advice. The results were a written "opinion" and fee. The business man today has lawyer who shall work for him alone. Again, the field of the general practitioner is narrowed Worlds Work.

B.g Trees of santa Cruz.

Santa Cruz, Cal, is rapidly becom- Ing show place. By accident more than foresight grove of giant red woods, in the canyon of the San Lorenzo, little more than five miles from town, escaped the ax. Gradual ly it dawned upon the people that board measure was not the only standard by which the value of trees could be computed. Thus the lines of preservation were drawn about this grove, and each year the size, beauty and majesty of these mon- Rrchs becomes more impressive, and each year they attract larger num- Der of visitors. There are about so trees in this grove, ranging from 30 to 60 feet in circumference and from 200 to 300 feet in height. Beside their enormous dimensions, the curiosities of their manner of growth and the charm of the grove itself combine to make this one of the most attrac- tive spots in California.-Sunsst Mag azine

MAGGIE CLINE

There is no mistaking the enthusiasm that Maggie Cline is arousing at the Jacques this week by the vigor with which she throws down the unfor- tunate McCluskey at every perform ance. It is jolly bit of singing, but ,jollier yet is the way she has of mani festing her esteem for the stage hand and pianist who lend q hand in the process of throwing McCluskey down. One may be phlegmatic or indifferent to an ordinary song, but when McClus- key is thrown down as only Maggie Cline can do it. there is different tale to tell. The most blase man or woman then relaxes and becomes enthusiastic. And the fun is kept moving lively by Eddie Girard and Jessie Gardner as ''The Cop and the Soubrette," Henley and Lester. Ford and Dot West. Rus sell and Buckley. Willie Weston, Le- nore and St Clair. and the vitagraph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; after

Reril in Dirty Morax.

It has long been a crime against the sanitary welfare of this country that the government should tolerate the circulation of So much paper money that is utterly vile in it's filth. mess. Every day one is compelled to handle dirty bills that one would not touch under any circumstances. Late ly there appears to have been great deal of this nasty stuff in circulation. and that it transmits Iatal diseases from one person to another cannot for an instant he doubted. In fact. smallpox was introduced into thriv- Ing western town through this means, the first victim being the cashier of a bank. The sacrifice of several lives followed. Many deaths have been traced to contaminated money. But we uever hear 8 protest from the rational health department.-Roches- ter Herald

THE A. O. H. FAIR.

Remember that this is the first time in years the A. o. H. has come before the public for purpose of this kind. Do not forget, either, that the object in view is very worthy one, the erec2 tion of a monument to the deceased members of the order in this city. Keep in view also that if you attend the fair you will be well entertained. The price of admission. except on Sun day evening, is only 15 cents, and for that there will be music and dancing galore, and everyone with money to spend, or without it, will r eive a gen uine Irish welcome You know what kind of welcome that is. There is no other like it on this planet. Read what Kate Douglas Wiggin says about such a welcome if you doubt the statement here made. If after perusing her book, "Penelopes Experiences in Ireland, :" you doubt what is said here, go to the works of one so naturally biased as and be convinced for a wholesale welcome you must go to the Gael. The expression of ga hundred thousand welcomes is translation from the Irish tongue. Go to the fair in the City hall next week and learn what that expression means.

Birds Plant Trees.

An, old Arizona woodchopper says the bluejays have planted thousands of the trees now growing all over Ari- zona. He says these birds have hab- it of burying small seeds in the ground with their beaks, and that they fre- quent pinon trees and bury large num- bers of the small pine nuts in the ground, many of which sprout and grow. He was walking through the pines with an eastern gentleman a short time ago, when one of these birds flew from tree to the ground, stuck his bill in the earth and quickly flew away. When told what had hap pened the eastern man was sceptical;
 but the two went to the spot and with a knife blade dug out sound pine nut from depth of about an inch and half. Thus it will be seen that na- ture has her own plan for forest per- etuation.-Indianap News.

Allen was correct in her ideas has been rather conclusively proved by the fact that MT free was rather severely cen sured on account of the fact that Don- ma Roma, ill his version of ''The Eter- nal City," is made a bad woman, and for the further reason that the play ends unhappily. In dramatic form
 "The Eternal City" is divided into five acts and eight scenes, all of which are laid in Rome. The production is said to be very magnificent one. Donna Romas studio is described as being one of the most elaborate interiors ever seen upon the stage. Miss Aliens sup porting company is an ideal one in all respects, and includes such famous players as Edward Morgan, Frederic de Belleville, E. M. Holland, w. E. Bonney, George c.

Freak Calculation.

We all like to puzzle our brains over things which give certain and strange results, but which we cannot explain. Here's puzzle that puzzles every body: Take the number of your living brothers, double the amount, add to it three, multiply the result by five, add to it the number of living sis ters, multiply the result by ten, add to it the number of deaths of broth CTS and sisters, subtract 15o from the result. The right-hand figure will be the number of deaths, the middle figure the number of living sisters and the left the number of iv- ing brothers.-Canton (O) Saturday Roller.

Potato PIantinR

The potato planter of to-day would make a farmer of generation ago sit up and rub his eyes. It requires that the potatoes be supplied, but will do all the rest of it's own initiative. It picks tSe potato up and looks it over -or seems to-cuts it into halves, quarters ar any desired number of parts, separates the eyes and removes the seed ends. It plants whole pota- toes or parts thereof, as desired, as near together or as far apart as the judgment of the farmer on the driving part suggests.

It is pretty we'll known now, because of the enthusiasm he aroused on his former visits, what marvelously interesting personality Creatore has and what a wonderful organization he has devel- oped in his Italian band. Among the most enthusiastic auditors on Sunday evening will undoubtedly be many of those who were present at the previous engagements.
