St. Elisabeth of Hungary.

II is curious that ST. Elizabeth OF
Hungary should have spent only the
first four years of her life In the coun-
try which always distinguishes her
name. She was only just four when
her father, the king Of Hungary, sent
her to Thuringia TO be betrothed to
the nine-year-old Prince Louis, and
there she remained all through her
childhood and married life until her
death in 1921. Perhaps. says the Lon
don Chronicle. because she n one OF

A MARINE GALLANT.
Major McCnwIey, One of the Presi-
dents Military Aids.

Major McCnwiey, one OF the f-re~i-
dents Military Aids.
Major Charles L. McCawley, who ruff
fed the dignity of the justices Of the su-
preme court by giving precedence to the
diplomatic corps at the recent White
House reception to the judiciary, has
been a member of the presidents per
sonal military staff for some time. This
staff is selected by President Roosevelt
from among the army and navy officers
stationed at the capital, and its duty Is
to attend the chief executive on all oc-
casions o. state functions.
Major McCawley has long been a
conspicuous figure in Washington soci-
ETY. and is an intimate friend of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. In June, 1897, he was
appointed from private life to u cap
taincy in the United States marine
corps and saw service in Cuba during
the Spanish war and also In the Philip
pines. At Guantanamo he landed with
a party from the Panther and was
brevetted for gallantry in that engage
ment., He also distinguished himself
in LuZon.
After returning to Washington Major
McCawley was detailed for duty at the
White House at the request of Presi-
dent Mckinley and has since been
prominent in the official social functions
Of the executive mansion. Though por'
tons OF each day are spent in clerical
duties, Major McCawley finds leisure
to attend to the manifold demands OF
society on his time. He is member
of several clubs and makes his home
at the Metropolitan.
When Miss Alice Roosevelt made her
debut at ball given by the president
and Mrs. Roosevelt at the White House
in 1902, Major McCawley was honored

1t looks as IL Russia would have to
fight it out with Japan, probably ef-
fectively aided by Korea and China,
and that IL the war should be extend
ed to other nations the position OF
Russia would not be improved and
might be made worse.
It Is certain that If France joins
Russia, Great Britain WI at once
openly join Japan. Even comhiua-
ton in aid of Russia between France
and Germany--if such combination
be possible, oonceding that for the
moment the emperor Is believed by
many to incline strongly towards Rus

WILL NOT JOIN NEzPERcE

Citizens Of the southern portion of
Shoshone county have not forgotten
that they are to vote on annexation
with Nez Perez this fail and the sem
timent as expressed by a prominent
business man of the Pierce district is
that the vote OF that section will be
largely opposed to annexation.
1t is argued by those opposed to leav-
ing the old county that they have at
present better road fund and a bet
ter school fund than they could hope
to have if joined with PEI Perce county
and that annexation would mean high
err taxes aud not even equal benefits.
Furthermore and what seems to be the
weightier reason. a new county Is GER
tain to be created i'll the southern end
at no far distant date and If no union
is made with Nez Perce all sections of
southern Shoshone will stand better
show when the new organization Is eff
fected.
The question OF annexation was not
OF Nez Perce's seeking. 1t grew out
OF the attempt of citizens of Southern
Shoshone to seize upon a portion Of
Nezperce prairie and create a new
county with some Shoshone town as
the county seat. The annexation idea
came as a measure OF relief granted by
the legislature because of the facts set
out in many petitions from that section
that the citizens were to far removed
from their county seat to transact busi-
ness with necessary promptness.
II annexation should fail, and thai
seems the probable outcome, the fact
would seem to be very clearly proven
that the agitation for county division
was far more political in its origin
than commercial or even necessary.

Since then he has frequently been the
partner OF Miss Roosevelt at dancing
parties. 1t is said that the gallant ma
jor Is the second man to lead dance in
the White House, for In the long history
of that mansion 1t Is recorded that only
one dance was held there prior to Miss
Roosevelt's coming out ball Thus
Major McCawley's name will go down
to history coupled with that of Count
Bertrand, who led the dancing at o

A Thrifty Young Gentleman.

One day last week, a well-dressed young
man approached Lumberton grocer and
said, "See here; I don't know you nor do
yon know me, but don't mind telling
you that am strapped, and I want you
to credit me withten cents worth ofgoods."
Gall right; certainly" said the sympathiz-
ing merchant. What will you have?"
"Give me bar of that soap,' said the
yocng man, and he bought long, yellow
bar of laundry soap, and, taking his knife,
deliberately cut it into small pieces, re-
marking that the people liked to be hum
bugged, and that he would crafty them.
He then asked for some tinfoil that had
come off tobacco, neatly wrapped up his
SOAP. and went out. Twice he returned
and bought more soap, paying for the
first bar, of course, and before the even
ing train, he came and showed the grocer
handful of change, remarking that he
could now leave town, but the funny part
is, when the grocer went home he learn
ed that his wife had bought two pieces of
the soap.-Lumberton IN. CO. Argus.

LANGUAGE OF THE HAND.

Scarcely q Sentiment 1t Il Not Capa-
bic Of Expressing.
When a lover ventures for the first
time to grasp the hand Of his charmer
she either withdraws Il, and that is as
much as to say, II have no heart fol-
you," or she suffers 1t, which Is the
same as if she said. HE whom I per
NIT to touch my hand may hope also to
touch my heart" In lovers quarrels,
indeed. the hand is withdrawn to ex-
press anger. but soon extended again
In token of reconciliation. Who can
tell all that is said by the hand which
another is conveying to the lips to have
a kiss imprinted upon it? This Is done
either slowly or hastily, either with
trembling or boldly. and expresses civil
ity or respect. gratitude or love. Two
hands are folded together-their owner
prays; the folded hands are raised-he
solicits something; they are rubbed one
against the other-he is impatient. The
raised finger threatens; when bent II
beckons: when extended it points
Two fingers produce the snap, a sign
Of contempt or defiance. The hand
gives; the hand receives. Both speak
aloud.
The hand likewise answers by a re-
pulsive motion. a finger placed upon
the lips inculcates discretion. The an
clients represented the god Of silence
in this attitude. How they have repre-
sented Venus everybody knows The
hand Of the goddess says. Il am bash
full" The Graces take each other by
the hand, as much as to say, I'VE ought
to be indivisible." Two hands firmly
grasping each other are the symbol OF
fidelity. The clinched fist bespeaks
rage and revenge, the followed hand
implores aims, the hand laid upon the
heart protests, the hand upon the fore
head thinks. and the hand behind the
ear expresses difficulties.
In a word, there is scarcely a sent1'
ment which the hand is not capable OF
expressing, and it not only completely
supplies the place Of the mouth in
speaking, but also, rather imperfectly'
in kissing, for when the lips cannot ap'
proach the beloved object the hand
throws kisses to her.-New Orleans
