ORIGIN OF "GREENHORN.'s
Term Used by Hunters Many Years Ago to Designate Deer with
 AiIin1 AntIera.

The democratic cloakroom of the senate held a congenial company, of whom Mir. Vest, of Missouri. was the center. There were scintillations and pithy reminiscences, the conversation eventually turning to former. Senator Turpie, of Indiana. All agreed that he was 8 man of erudition, and some one veptured that Mir. Turpie, now re- siding among his own people in the Hoosier state, Is one of the best in- formed in belles lettres of any man who ever came to the senate, says the Washington Post.
 "I recall" interposed Senator Vest, "an incident along that line, which demonstrates what marvsl Mir. Tur- pie is in his fund of information. I was once in a company where ques- tion arose as'to the origin of the term 'greenhorn.' The question went around until it reached MT. Turpie.
 T" Oh, yes,' observed Mir. Turpie. readily. Tt Is a term that was used many years ago in hunting. The word was used of deer which at certain sea- sons of the year have soft and, green horns, and resortto muddy depressions in the landscape, where they can plunge those horns into the mud and water to cool them.
 There the deer became easy prey for the hunters, and accordingly, be- came known as 'greenhorns.' From that we have the use of the word as 1t is applied to men,"

HEIRS OF JOHN HANCOCK.
Oescendanfs of the American Patriot Put In Claims for French
 SpOIiation Money

It looks as If the '"line of descent" from John Hancock of revolutionary fame might have to be run down for the purpose of determining at this late day who are his heirs-at-law. says the Boston Herald. Though the governor died about 17s3, and all his estate then apparent was admins tered upon by Dorothy Hancock, his widow, it has recently, come to pass that his estate is entitled to some- thing by virtue of a French spoila- tion claim, and in order to receive payment of it supplemental admin istration has to be taken out on his estate.
 A few months ago Mir. George A. King, an attorney, upon the request of Mrs. Elizabeth l.. H. Wood, upon the supposition that she was the only heir at law of the patriot, filed petition in the Probate court for Suffolk county, asking that he be ap- pointed administrator of the unad- ministered estate. It now, appears that Mary s. Sanford. of Westches- ter, says that she Is one of John Hancock's heirs, and Albert F. Con- verse, her counsel, has filed an ap- pearance in the case in opposition to the petition. The matter Is pending In court, no day for the considera- tion of the matter having been fixed.

Toyman Tricked.

Mir. Jones kept toy shop, and among various things sold fishing rods. For the purpose of advertising them he had large rod hanging out side, with an artificial fish at the end of it. Late one night, when most peo- pie were in bed, man who was rath- CT the worse for his nights enjoy ment happened to see this fish. He looked at it, and then went cautious ly up to the door and knocked gently. Jones did not hear this, so after the man had knocked a little louder he responded at the window up above.
 Who's there?" said Jones.
 "Don't make noise," said the man, in whisper, but come down as quiet ly as you can."
 At this request our friend thought there must be something the matter. So after dressing and coming down as quietly as possible, he proceeded to ask what it was.
 .'What is the matter ?" he inquired.

HATS OF coRNHUsKs.
Style of Headgear That Will Rival the Costly Panamn the COm-
 ing Summer.

Corn husks during the present sea- son have been bought up for the pur- pose of utilizing them in the manufac- ture of a new style of hat which may become both fashionable and popular next summer, says the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post-
 The material is cheap. In fact, it is usually wasted. Properly cured corn huslss are tough and may be folded without cracking. Dampened, they may be made to assume any desired shape.
 The process of working corn husks into hats is novel, somewhat intricate, and is protected by patent. It is said that samples already turned out are artistic as we'll as light and strong.
 An element which enters significant '1y into the construction of the hat is the natural shape of the husks, which taper in width from base to tip. When split the parts maintain this config- uration, as they parallel the fiber.
 This tapering of all the parts has been an important feature in the man. ufacture of the hat. The brim and top of the hat are formed by series of layers of corn husks. To impart a novel appearance, the outer end of some of these layers are pointed. Con siderable ingenuity has been displayed in the entire construction of the hat even the band is made of corn husks-- and it is asserted that the result is graceful and attractive, and that, though it may be constructed econom- ically to be sold at popular prices, more expensive brands, requiring ex- ceptional skill in the manufacture, will be turned out to meet the demand for hats at fancy prices.

His Awful Break.

~Yes,'' said the Boston girl, as she polished her spectacles with paper napkin, "I came within an ace of get ting spliced to that New York mill lionaire, but was snatched from the matrimonial brink, as it were."
 "Put me next" urged her chum.
 "Well," continued the heroine of the slSit, "he began by saying he loved me from the ground up and asked me to give him my hand. Then, of course, it was me for the coy-maid role, so I said: You must ask my pa.' And say, what do you think ?"
 'I don't think" replied the chum. "I'm from the Back Bay district and you'll have to inform me-"
 He said," continued the other: !" Pardon mel stand corrected; give me your paw And right there all bets were declared off, for you know my sensitive nature wouldn't allow me to stand for such kindergarten talk ax that."-C Chicago Daily News.

She Was Left-Handed.

An elderly colored woman. who was summoned to appear as wit ness in one of the local courts re- Apntly, was the cause of much laugh ter when she was called around in front of the clerks desk to take the necessary oath before she gave her testimony.
 Hold up your right hand," the clerk instructed the woman, where upon she promptly raised the one for which he had not asked.
 ''That's not your right hand," the clerk told her. Don't you know the difference between right and left?'' the court official inquired.
 "Yes, sir" she answered; "I know the difference, but you see I'm left handed"
 The woman still insisted on holding her left hand up, and it was only after the judge had threatened her that she consented to hold the proper one up.-Washington Star.

REACHING A CLIMAX.
Timid Suitors Resort to Original
 Ways of Asking "Her."
By Reading This Article Other Lov- CTS of BashfuI Disposition Might Get a Hint for Their
 Own Private Use.

It was country swain who, after long, interminable, uneventful months of sitting out" long, interminable, un- eventful winter and summer evenings with his sweetheart, suddenly extend ed toward her the key of his newly erected house. Jennie" said he, ab- ruptly, "how'd you like to be mistress of that?"
 Another determined if bashful country lover proposed marriage to his blushing but by no Aleans surprised inamorata by inviting Ser to look oven the new house that he, too, had just built. "So you've made the house all ready for the bride you mean to bring to it some day, William" the aforemen- tioned inamorata delighted. the, man who had carefully led up to this desir- able climax by remarking; land when will you begin to get ready for her?" That" was the timid but hopeful an- swer, lis just as you say"
 Still another rural devotee of St. Val entine found the beloved one disgust edly working her way through the heaped-up family mending basked. "No, I don't like mending!" she snapped out, in response to his hesitat- ing effort at making conversation" 'sI'm sick to death of it, that is. It's no fun to do all the mending for large family week after week for a number of years. Sometimes think I'd give anything for a change!" The rural lover was quick to see and seize upon his long sought opportunity, but not, perhaps, fortunate in his manner of at- tempting to meet and live up to it. "Priscilk," he jerkily assured her. drawing away the obnoxious mending the better to attract her attention, Priscilla, if you'll-if you'll-mak one of my family, you-you need never 1arn anybody's stockings but minel Will you do it?"
 Timidity and lack of sophistication did not, however, impair the chances of the Chicago man who last winter

NEW SYSTEM OF TELEGRApHY
One with Novel Feature by Which b0,OOO Words an Hour Are
 Transmitted.

At a recent test in Germany of the Pollak-Virag system of telegraphy al speed of 5o,o0o words an hour was att. tained. Tn transmitting, this system, like other fast systems, uses strip of paper previously punched with holes representing dots and dashes. The most novel feature of the system is the method of receiving, says an elec- trical paper. The incoming electric impulses cause thin strip of metal, resembling telephone diaphragm, to vibrate and thus move a, tiny mirror att tached thereto. A slender beam of light from an incandescent light falls upon the mirror, and is reflected thence to a strip of photographically sensitive paper, which is steadily un- rolled by clockwork when messages come Chemicals for "development'' being applied, the paper exhibits con- tinuous dark line, with upward pro- jections for dashes and downward ones for dots.. The message must then be deciphered and the translation must be written out.

DARN NO STOCKINGS BUT MINE"

attempted to sound his adored one on the subject of her attitude toward pos- sible matrimony. The girl, with real or seeming innocence, replied that Ter attitude toward possible matrimony depended altogether upon the charac- ter, qualities, attachments and general excellence of the other half of the pos sible matrimonial bargain. The man, greatly encouraged, drew a striking picture of what he supposed his own personality and character to consist of, carefully, however, suppressing his name and identifying references of any kind. His listener, again with real or assumed interest, enthusiastically exclaimed that any nice girl would be glad to marry such 8 delightful indi- vidual, that no nice girl could help lov- ing him. "I was talking of myself" then said the man boldly, encouraged by her expression and manner, land you're the incest girl know" "Far too nice to marry so conceited crea- ture as you are," was the unexpected answer. "Just fancy living with a man who had such an exceedingly good opinion of h1msef!
 In direct and striking contrast to this story was the happy experience of the shy and diffldent man who, really good at heart and in point of character, be- lieved himself far beneath the stand ard of the sweet girl he adored. "Would you like to see Nellie married to me?" was his roundabout way of beginning operations when his love would be con- tained no longer. "No; she's not half nice enough for you," returned the girl, who had her own reasons for dis liking any such suggestion. "You're far too nice for her, rather-too nice for anybody but-me."
 Still, it would hardly be safe for any Chicago man, however modest and diffi- dent, to expect similar courage and daring from any "nice" girl. A Chi cago man, for instance, once spent whole evening in the vain and desper- ate endeavor to get the few words he 1onged to say past his willing but in-

wearing the tiara, and young girls
rarely indulge in anything more am
bilious than simple little floral and
ribbon wreaths. The stately tiaras
are more beautiful this year than
ever. Some of them are shaped like
little coronets and fasten from side
to side of the head with long slen-

tiaras are Of coral, which mingles
exqulsitely with cut silver. Others
are Of topaz, tourmaline, sapphlres
and one beauty is of pearls and emer-
aids. Some very lovely and compare
