THE LITERARY WORLD

As the school term usually ends with
June throughout the country, one looks
naturally IN st. Nicholas for some story
or sketch suggestive of school life. The
opening story of the June number is en-
titled "The School Room Dog" by Mary
e. Fitzgerald, and is illustrated by Miss
Ellen b. Thompson. a clever young Phila-
delphia artist. The schoolroom dog is a
canine waif which has been surrepthtiously
brought into the room by the worst boy
In the class. To the boys S surprise. the dog
is allowed TO remain i'm the room and pro-
vision, i'm which the whole class has "a
hand is made for his keep. This unex-
pected forbearance and sympathy on the
part OF the teacher makes a deep impress
sion on the boy, and his regeneration dates
from that day. The story is wholesome.
interesting and distinctively novel in plot.
Every boy who has squandered much OF
his allowance in Photographic plates, with
little TO show for it, should read "Snar
Shots" i'm the June ST. Nicholas. Not a

many illustrations, are given to guide the

that Miss Barclay would be there; but,

approached him.

MoRMoNs IN NEW MEXICO.
About Five Hundred Are Scattered
Through Several of the Lead
ing Counties.

There are to-day in New Mexico,
out of an estimated population, at q
very conservative estimate, of 24O, 900
people, not over 500 Mormons, men,
women and children. These, says the
Santa Fe New Mexican, are scattered
and live in small settlements in San
Juan, Rio Arriba and Mckinley coun-
ties. They cut no more ice political
ly here than does a Tammany poll
tician in the celestial empire. The
immigration into New Mexico at this
time is not coming from Utah; it is
from Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Okla
homa and Texas, and no Mormons
have been noticed in the numbers
that have come into the territory
during the past three years and are
coming now- The senator's and rep
resentatives from the state of New
Mexico in congress, the officials of
the new state, the members of the
legislative assembly and the county
officials will contain a large proper
tion of native New Mexicans of
Spanish or Mexican descent; in fact,
they will be pretty evenly divided
between this class of New Mexico
citizens and the men who came to
New Mexico years ago and have been
citizens thereof for from ten to thir-
ty and forty years.

HAVE THEMSELVES TO BLAME.
Women Are Often Responsible for
UnwelcOme Attentions of
Strange Men.

at always amuses me to hear mem-
bers of my own sex complaining of
the unpleasant attentions they re-
ceive from men," said the college
settlement girl, reports the Chicago
Chronicle. "As rule the complain
ing contingent is young. One sweet
thing actually complained that men
on the street looked at her. She did
not also say that her street conduct
was enough to compel them to. Co
quettish glances in all directions and
every foolish possible and impossible
sort of self-consciousness are enough
20 draw the stares of the idle. From
all can learn even pretty women
are seldom pursued if they absolute
iy keep their eyes where they belong
and pursue a straight course. Should
they happen to pass street or a
store into which they intended to
turn and retrace their steps some
loiterer might find the action suspi-
cious and fancy his own fatal charms
were the cause. He soon sees the
mistake when there is a mistake.
While it may be safe enough, / ad-
init it is not very nice for a girl or
woman to be on the streets alone at
night. AS far as I'm concerned,
though, have never had any man
speak to me or offer any indignity
even when returning at night through
the slums entirely alone"

OUTDOING EXPECTATIONS.
Wonderful Success Of C. A. Sexton half
Price Sale of Or. HOward's Dyspepsia
Specific.

We are always glad to print in the Eve
ming News a story about remarkable
success achieved by advertising, and es-
pecially so when the article advertised is
one of superior merit.
Not so very long ago c. A. Sexton one
of Perth Amboy's most enterprising drug
lists succeeded in getting the DR.. Howard
Co. to allow him to sell their Specific for
the cure of constipation and dyspepsia at
half price, as an Introductory offer.
The results of this advertising have
been phenomenal, and there has been
hardly a week without G. A. Sexton be-
ing obliged to order fresh supplies.
Such was his confidence in the remedy
that he personally guaranteed every pack
age or the Specific that has sold, and a.
greed to refund the money if it did not
cure. His faith was we'll founded, for
out of the hundreds of packages he has
sold, only one has been returned.
q. A. Sexton does not know how much
longer he will be able to sell DR.. How
aids Specific for the cure of constipation
and dyspepsia at half price, but win as
long as his present supply holds out.
Some of his customers have said they
would pay dollor bottle rather than
be without it.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Having been made an honorary
member of the Press Club of San
Francisco, President Roosevelt paid
it the compliment of personal visit,
on which occasion he made pleasant
little speech. He said:
"I have never seen any soldier dis
play greater and more marked gallant
ry than have seen displayed on the
battlefield, not merely by one or two,
but by many representatives of your
profession. And gentlemen, quite an
extended experience in politics has
taught me that the one man in politics
it is perfectly safe to tell an import
ant secret is a newspaper man, be-
cause he not only shares with other
honorable men the desire to keep the
secret, but he knows how. "
The President is right. 1t is the
only picayune politician, perhaps one
who has sprung into official notoriety
by accident, who is too ignorant not
to put the utmost confidence in the
representatives of the press. No hon
orable newspaper man ever betrayed
such a confidence, even though it
almost broke his heart to keep silence
on what would be heavenly scoop"
over the other paper. .-Passaic News.
