Guiding his overcoat Even in the
care-free summer, when sex distinc-
~tions as to clothing tend to merge, no
man would dare attempt an outing
without six pockets to assist his mas
ter mind.
But when a girl, repeating the speci-
fications of her latest gown, declares
I've got a pocket, tool" her accent is
as comprehensive as Lord Bacon's
mind. She implies that she has pro-
cured a safety deposit vault, opened a
warehouse, possessed herself Of docks

Women Are Pocketless.
Yet seldom does a woman have even
one pocket Only her hands connect
her with the local luggage of down.

unattached and evanescent shopping
bag, is packed as tightly as an actors
trunk and holds more notions than
school boys bureau drawer. But IL
she would retain this treasure chest
she must remember it. If she hopes to
wear her gloves again, she must re-
member them. If she leaves at home
her detachable magazine, she must
carry her purse, her muff, her smallest
parcels or her opera glass. She can
not put her boa in a pocket, as her
brother would dispose of his muffier.
With one hand seeking instinctively to
tilt her hat to pat or poke her hair,
and with the other hand in readiness
to assist her helpless skirt, Edith fails
occasionally to carry away some things
that Edward would have kept the
whole time in his pockets.
No doubt IL woman, too, had twelve
or twenty pockets to sail with her as
tenders through the urban voyage, she
might leave as little property behind
her as does man at theaters, at stores,
or in the street cars. If she seems to
forget more quickly than he when trav-
cling, when pausing at hotels; if she
remembers, with reliable inaccuracy
the exact spot where she forgot; it's
because she's not been trained by harsh
responsibility.

Reflections not wholly favorable may
be cast upon the feminine memory, if
all the foregoing incidents are trust
worthy. Only the injudicious, how
ever, would decide to take the side of

Women appear to have weak mem

A Queer Find.

tudes Of his name would imply; may
be they don't know that a street car is
the safest place to leave an umbrella.
Why, our shelves here are often piled
up high with umbrellas umbrel-
las, good umbrellas, fine silk umbrellas,
with expensive handles. Our spring or
fall stock of umbrellas goes up to 500.
AT least half OF the articles sent in
are restored to the owners. This often
includes purses with nice sums of
money in 'em. You saw me giving that
lady back her muff. 1t was handsome

But, speaking of things forgotten,
the men do lose an occasional article,
oyershoes or especially packages
something they were bringing home
probably. Still men have pockets
that shouldn't be forgotten.
Many VaIuabIes Returned.
Many valuables are brought In by
our ushers and scrubwomen. When
articles lost are not turned in, the
chances are more than ever that they
were appropriated by some other per-
son in the audience while leaving the
house. Our scrubwomen have turned
over purses containing as much as
$780,"
Such treasure troves, indeed, are
not uncommon about town. There may
be no Sidewalk hunters in St. Paul
as in Paris, who make their living by
picking up lost articles. But at every
public resort along the march through
daily life the world leaves behind its
treasures, like an army in retreat. For
example, a local newspaper contained
last week three consecutive advertise
ments:
LOST-A red silk belt with an oxidized
silver watch attached.
LOST-A gold watch.
LOST-A diamond sunburSt.
Hence the comedy without rehearsal
at the Metropolitan suggested further
inquiries.
In the big stores, as the inquirer was
told, the lost and found business" ere
ates regular department, with a man
ager in charge. "Oh, we have hundreds
of articles on hand" said one of these
managers. 1.-The great majority of our
patrons are women. That explains
largely why we're always picking up
ladies' umbrellas, muffs, fur capes,
boas, ladies' gloves and purses and
shopping bags, and even ladies' hats.
Day before yesterday we found dia-
mond ring on the notion counter in a
box of safety pins. The owner got 1T

Then the man within was moved to

constant pleasure to hear them. She

they merely deceive themselves.
Lose things? Well, look at those
pigeonholes! Full of gloves and hand
kerchiefs mostly; but there are stick
pins, and purses, and belts-how can a
opera glasses. And from time to time
our people pick up boas and pelerines,
and collarettes, and even those dinky
little Jackets with backs like beit-all
sorts Of furs except sealskin coats or
sable opera cloaks.
Sometimes the losers hurry right
back to get their things; but often
they'll wait till next day to recover a
purse Of a boa, and some Of the really
valuable articles are never asked about
at all.
Wonder how girls can come in here
all tucked up like babies inside of fuzzy
collars and wraps, and then go out into
the cold world again and get halfway
home before they take notice that
they're feeling rather chilly! Why, you
know; a man will feel wrong immedi-
ately ne gets outside, If he's only lost
his glove, especially his left glove.

girls keep all their feelings in their
hearts, that's my opinion.

LIGHT on Mission to Tibet.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-Lord Hardwicke,
under secretary for India, in the house
of lords today, replying to the request
Of Lord Reay 0iberaD for further in
formation regarding the British mis-
sion to Tibet, said the government was
determined to insist on final settle
ment regarding the carrying out of the
terms of the convention of 1890
The Tfbetans had refused to have in
tercourse with Great Britain, but the
result of their continual intercourse
with Russia had been to inspire the
Tibetans with the feeling that they had
Russia behind them, and therefore they
need not fear the British. This situa-
ton the Indian government and his maj
esty's government could not tolerate for
a moment. While Lord Hardwicke refus-
ed to speak regarding the limit of Col.
Younghusband's advance into Tibet, he
said the mission was friendly, and Col.
Younghusband would do nothing to
promote hostilities.

She was a small, fair woman with
gentle blue eyes; but her face denied
her temperament the other afternoon,
as she peered through the bars from

probably would have taken it, If he had

COAST BEACONS ARE OF GREAT POWER
= O Four

New YORK, Feb. FIT is some
! y consolation to find that there is
one biggest thing in the world which
Americans do not yet possess, and
that Is the biggest fiashlight." This
sentence, which appeared recently in
the London Tid-Bits, introducing de-
scription of the new electric hashlight
recently erected by the German gov
eminent on the island Of Heligoland,
led one of those citizens of the United
States jealous for the supremacy Of
his native land to write letter chal-
longing the veracity of this statement.
This country, he asserted, was the home
of the most powerful searchlight. He
referred to the light at Navesink High
lands, which replaced the old twin
lights five years ago, and, according to
the writer of the letter, throws a beam
of light having a candle power of 3d.
100000, as compared with a candle
power of 100000 at Heligoland. So
far as can be learned, the challenger is
right to the extent that the Highlands
light is more powerful but it is doubt
full If it is as powerful as he declares
it to be. The manufactures of the light
declared it's capacity to be 90,000,000
candle power, but officials Of the light
house establishment who have meas
ured it cut those figures in two, giving
1t credit for 45,000,000.
The Highlands light is the one most
sought for by the navigating officers
of incoming steamships after sighting
the flashing eye of the Fire Island light,
the first seen on the Atlantic coast.
They depend on that flash of light to
guide them to the hole in the pocket of
the coast at the point through which
they slip into New York bay. From
lower bay after nightfall the regular
appearance of the light much resem-
bles heat lighting to the southwark.
This beam of light, swung around the
horizon every five seconds, and seen
only for a tenth of a second, is the
light for which the navigator is seek
ing. 1t is directly visible from the
bridge of steamship at a distance of
thirty miles if the atmosphere is clear,
and it is asserted that it's reflection on
the clouds has been seen at a distance
of 100 miles,
The persons living in the neighborhood
of the light do not find it friendly neigh

bedroom windows. Complaints have been
made. to Uncle Sam about 1t, but Uncle
Sam has replied that in this case he could
not provide the relief asked fora dim
ming of the light-because there might as
well be no light there at all as a light
which could be seen only short distance
The power of its searching eye is almost
past believing. Before the lens was
