SUMMER GIRLS FAILURE.
Rugged Herself Up to Make a Hit,
But Her Finery All
Wilted.

Once UPON a time there was q girl
who decided that she would be the
real thing in the summer girl line,
relates a St. Paul Globe writer Be-
fore the snow melted she was plan
ming a wardrobe that would bring
down any summer youth from a mil
lionaire prospective to Dry Goods
clerk. She embroidered all her shirt
waists by hand, and made seven sets
of turn-overs before the summer
styles were settled. only to learn that
they were wearing 1880 yokes. She
bought white silk drop skirt for her
null dress. and then her poor old
mother had to go without a new sum-
mer hat so that daughter could have
the real thing in lingerie hat to
go with the silk drop skirt. Father
was driven to the verge of nervous
prostration by the domestic discussions
of skirt yokes, and the best thing. in
color combinations, and brother Jimmy
lost his half-holiday chasing down
cerise near-silk when she wanted
cherry lining for her lawn dress.
The clerks at the stores all got to
know her-she had so many goods
exchanged-and when at last she pulled
out for a Jersey town with two trunks
and a dress suit case her old father
said: "This is Heaven and her
mother stopped taking nerve cure.
But the girl found she was up
against it after all. Her dresses faded
and dropped in the sea air and 30 did

who made a hit with the few summer
boys in sight wore the same. linen

one party dress to her name. But she
had the real thing in eyes and dim

KILLING PRAIRIE WOLVES.
Indian Boy, Initiating Their Cry
Brings Them in Range of
His Rifle.

We struck out across the sandy bed 81
the lower end of Death Valley toward
low range of blue-gray hills, where Bot
said there were lots of coyotes anc
foxes. 1t was at least three miles over
to the hills and the shadows of night
were falling when We dropped down be-
hind a huge lava covered bowlder in the
head of a little draw down which the
wild dogs were said to come, says a
writer in Field and Stream.
Midway down the shallow canyon
was patch of green grass, fed, sup.
pose, by some thermal spring that rose
almost to the surface and then sank
away again into the myriad under
ground streams that sap this whole Sec
tlon. Perhaps Is minutes passed and
there came, wind-borne and weak, from
far across the valley, the call of wan
Gering coyote-and then happened one
of the most utterly novel things have
ever known. Putting his hands 10 his
lips. Bob let go a perfect imitation of
the coyotes cry; moment passed, and
from some closer point than the last one
another little wolf answered him,
Again and again he called, and again
and again came the answer; then an
other and yet another Joined in, until
a perfect circle of the wild dogs were
crying around us, and still they Gid not
discover the deception.
I began to fear it was some trick to
decoy me into the hands of band of
Piutes. but just then shadow, only the
least bit less black than the surrounding
night, swung suddenly around a huge
stone some 80 feet beyond Bob, and,
neither seeing nor smelling US, the
timid little wolf stood for an instant as
if carved in stone. Silent as snake in
the desert grass. yet with deadly GER
tainty of his prey that made me shiver.
the balf-breed turned over so as to get
his right arm free to act. For mo-
ment's space there vas a silence, then
ever so light sound. and, although I
saw nothing, heard next to nothing, the
coyote leaped into the air with a wild
cry. turned over once and fell to lie
silent in his tracks
Attracted by the cry, another of the
band trotted out into little patch of
light cast by the now rising moon, just
in time to stop the bullet from my rifle
OF course, the report of the gun stopped
the sport for the night in that locality,
and so we moved over nearer to camp,
where Bob, with his bow. killed another
coyote, and I, with the rife, fox.

Mary Walker, Asks Gear to Stop
War with Japan.

DR.. Mary Walker is claiming credit
for the fact that the cars new baby
Is a son INSTEAD Of a. daughter. The
doctor says If she had not volunteered
her advice there would have been ar
other grand duchess in the palace in
stead OF czarevitch.
All that DR.. Walker wants of the
czar in return for the favor she has
done is that he stop the war with
Japan.
"Gtve Japan the harbor," DR.. Walker
has written from Oswego to the czar.
She does not specify which harbor,
but pretty nearly any harbor will do,
she thinks.
The following is a copy of an open
letter DR.. Walker has written to the
czar:
ITO the Gear of All Russia-Dear
Sir: In congratulating yourself and
the mother of your son, l most re-
spectfully and earnestly request you
to make peace with Japan.
"Give Japan the harbor.
'But for my professional advice you
would not now be the father of a son
heir. The world will rejoice and say
that you would gladly have done this
one year since as the price of the as
surance of a son.

resulted SO. gratifyingly for the pur-
pose of asking reward Of any nature,
but circumstances are such at the
present time that I expect you 20

ffC CL1NK-CLANK! clink-clank!"

fC CLINK-CLANK! clink-clank!"
- Three men crouched in the
shelter of a hut made of sheets of
corrugated iron. They did not stir.
They scarcely breathed. The ther-
mometer indicated a temperature of
1875 degrees.
Before the door of the hut rose
skeleton tower of iron beams. It re-
sembled the derrick of PENNSYLVANIA
oil we'll. Over wheel at the top of
this structure ran wire rope which,
descending perpendicularly, disap-
peared within well-like cavity some
20 inches in diameter. The other end
was cOiled around drum operated by
an electric motor which automatically
started-stopped-reversed stopped
started. Up and down, up and down,
moved the cable with monotonous reg
ularity. "Clink-clanlx! Clink clank!"
1t was the only sound that disturbed
the intense, suffocating stiffness.
Outside, the horizon line receded to
the uttermost limit of vision in all
directions. A level waste of yellow
sand met the eye wherever it turned,
rejecting the almost vertical rays Of
the sun with an indescribable fierce
ness. The atmosphere swan in SHIN
mering streaks.
The enormous palpitating disc of the
desert was bisected by a single line
OF rails which dwindled to vanishing
points to the north and to the south.
The rails rested on broad bases of metal
like huge, inverted soup plates, which
enabled the road to lie firmly upon the
treacherous sand. Between the rails
was placed the insulated cable which
brought the electrical current to the
motor. A semaphore signal, planted
upright in the sand like a contorted
skeleton, a few scattered tools, some
bits OF piping and abandoned pieces of
machinery, completed the catalogue of
objects of definite outline. The motor
buzzed drowsily:
"Clink-clank! clink-clank!"
This particularly undesirable spot
upon the worlds surface was marked
on the map of the new Trans-Saharan
railway as Station Ism. The railway
was the latest audacious engineering
exploit Of the French. 1t connected
Algiers in mathematically straight
line with Timbuctoo and was expected
to bring riches of the eastern Soudar
to the Mediterranean shores. Station
Ism was full 400 miles north of the
southern terminus, in the hottest heart
OF the great Sahara, just under the line
of the. tropic. The three men in the
hut were drilling an artesian we'll that,
when pierced, would create an arti-
fetal oasis. The drilling apparatus
was perfectly made and almost human
