skee Running In France.

Skee running has become a regular
feature Of army training in France
among the mountain regiments. The
seven battalions of Alpine chasseurs
and the chasseur battalions of three
other regiments have received orders
to send each a detachment, under two
Bubalterns, to Brianeon, where at the
beginning of the new year a three
months course Of instruction was be-
gun. Each of these ten detachments
will afterward be used for instruc-
tional purposes in its own battalion.
The result will be that before long it
will be possible for the French army
to utilize a strong infantry division as
Bkee runners.

Ennis md Riches.

Frank Crane. pastor of Union church
Of Worcester. Mass. in a recent talk on
1.-The Poor Fool and the Fool Rich
said:
A tract is a pamphlet, not to read, but
to give to your friends
From a good deal of religious teaching
we gather that if you are good you'll
get rich and il you get rich twill be a
great pity.
Why should little Willie be taught in
Sabbath school to be good so that he
may get on and the Hon. William in
his old age be exhorted to tremble be-
cause he got on?
The whole trouble lies in our detini-
ton of riches. Riches consist not in
money. but in two things, character
and friendships
There are two kinds of fools about
money. the father who burns up his
life getting it and the son who burns
up his life in getting rid of it.
Most rich people are not men Of
means. but of ends.
Dives was fool because he thought
when he had become rich that he was
through. whereas to be rich is to be
just begun.
Real wealth consists in having plenty
Of the right kind of supplies.
Civilization means the multiplication
Of wants, Christianity the improve
ment of their quality.
Poverty is a curse, and the poorest
man is the paltry soul with a lot of
money.

PARRY THE QUESTION.
The way Women should Combat Inn
pertinent Paul or Polly Prys.

pertinent Paul or Polly Prys.
Well reared. kindly people do many
rude things. They may be done through
ignorance, thoughtlessness or in re-
venge. Can kindly people harbOr re-
venge? Yes; only the wholly sancti-
fed are never guilty of trying to pay
back" for a fancied or real injury.
Well meaning men and women will
give a bachelor maid fattering look
and remark. 1t is strange you have
never married" If the "old" girl says,
with a toss of the head. that she did
not wish to be incumbered with a hus-
band, that some preferred to be left
rather than be caught by many of the
hshers. she simply subjects herself to
the merry ha, ha. Should she take the
other tack and confide candidly that no
one had asked her that she was Il for
lOrn creature, an object of pity and
would not her kind friend do some
angling in her behalf, she would cheap
en- her stock with that person, become,
in fact, only fit for the damaged shelf
worn, bargain counter.
The woman so assailed is between
the Scvlla of derision and the Charyb-
dis of pity.
The most effective way Of combating
this or any other impertinent question
is to reply with sweet gurgling laugh,
which can be interpreted to mean all
sorts of things or nothing.
If the assailed is vicious she can fire
back at her inquirer, using the same
ammunition. For instance, there is a
similar prOpriety in asking married
woman why she married that stupid
old bore after telling her what a
charming woman you regard her, OF
how such a refined. lovely creature
came to wed a coarse, bOOrish fellow
How could you. a tall, graceful girl
link your fate and have to walk
through life with that dumpy, strutty
absurd midget? 1t is amazing how one
of your quick wit selected that thicB
headed lout, who has to have a joke
diagrammed. 1t is passing strange that
one of your beauty could jeopardizt
LAAE lOOAo VI yum NAAlANAt VII W AAAtAA y AAAe
that homely plebeian man. 1t is a mys
terry how some matches are made
Here you are, a great, big hearted, gen
erous soul, welded to a weazen, snarl
ed faced man, whose countenance is {
perfect index Of his contracted, stingy
way of looking at life"
If the curious one is a man the abovt
rejoin,iers could be fired with equa
J force as regarls the apparent mismat
/ ing Of men with women wholly unlik
or unworthy.
''It is very strange such a fine won
an as you has never married. Tell m
how it happened" is usually meant t
imply n compliment. A lady mus
I gauge remarks according to the mOtiv
prompting them.
Yes, the winsome smile is the mos
diplomatic polite way of parrying tn
question that is too inquisitive.-Susal

hallick house, after firing his revolver,
jumped into the carriage. and, remark

Heated controversy Followed : aNor'
able Report From Committee.
Washington, Jan. 10. - While the
Panama canal question has been be-
fore the senate on general principles
during the greater part of the present
session, the Panama canal treaty was
not reported until yesterday. 1t had no
sooner been reported favorably to the
senate in executive session than it be-
came the subject of heated controversy.
Senator Cullom made the report in
favor Of the treaty. whereupon Senator
Morgan, as a member OF the commit
tee, at once entered a formal protest
against the acceptance Of the report
on the ground tnat when the commit
tee decided to report the treaty an
amendment was still under considera-
ton, and thai he had not had time to
present an amendment looking to
the striking out of article % of the
treaty, in which Panama renounces
her right To participation in the earn
ings of the canal when built,
Senator Allison suggested that Dem
ocratic senators could offer amend
ments at any stage of the proceedings
in the senate. and assured them that
all such amendments would have fair
and deliberate consideration.
No action was taken on Senator
Daniels resolution or Senator Morgan s
protest but Mr.. Cullom gave notice
that he would ask the senate to take
up the treaty tomorrow, and until dis
posed Of to consider it from day to day
to the exclusion Of other business.

Mass Meeting Petitions U. S. Senate
to Probe Charges Against Smoot.
Philadelphia. Jan. 1S.-At a mass
meeting held under the auspices OF
the leading women's clubs of this city
at Horticultural Hall, resolutions were
adopted denouncing polygamy and
Mormonism, and petitioning the Unit
ed States senate to investigate the
charges made against Senator Reed
SmOot. II the charges are found to be
true, the resolutions ask that he be eX
PEELED from that body. A half score OF
representatives of the Mormon church
were present listening to the bitter de
nunciation of Mormonism. AT the con
clusion of the meeting they handed
around literature.
The meeting was presided over by
DR.. Joseph Swain, president of Swarth.
more College. an institution dominated
by the Quakers. Mrs. Frederick
Schoff. of this city, president of the
National Congress of Mothers, one Of
the speakers. explained why the wo
men of the country had taken up the
fight against Senator Smoot and said
that 1000 women are already engag
ed in the movement I'VE have engag
ed Representative Taylor as our legal
adviser" she said, "and was assured
in Washington that had we women not
done so. no objections would have been
made to seating Mr.. Smoot."

came from is a mystery, but it is sup.
posed that it fell overheard from one
of the torpedo boats which have been |

time. How long it had been afioat, or
how near it had come to blowing up
some of the many steamships plying in

lecture.

SILK IMPORTS ENORMOUS.
statistics by Department of Com. merce Shows Large Increase in 1m-
 portation of the Raw Article.

The imports of raw silk in the fiscal year recently ended were the largest in the history of the government Statistics just compiled by the depart ment of commerce and labor, through It's bureau of statistics, show that for the fiscal year ending June 30, 19O3 15, ,271 ,340 pounds of manufactured silk, valued at $50, ,819, were im- ported, as compared with 14,20O,OOO pounds in 1902 and 10,400,000 in 1901. From this silk our manufactur- CTS will make finished products valued at over $125,000,O00.
 Many attempts have been made to produce raw silk in this country. AS early as 1923 mulberry trees were re- quired to be planted by all settlers in Virginia, and some silk was grown in the early days of the colony. In the second quarter of the last century the cultivation of silk seemed to give promise of success, but the enterprise degenerated into a speculation in Chi nese mulberry trees, and ended In ut ter failure. The recent experiments of the department of agriculture are again directing attention to the prac- ticability of raising on our own farmE a share at least of this material. which forms SO considerable part of our imports.
 During recent years the importation of raw silk has increased almost con- tinuously, until in the fiscal year just closed 1t amounted to over 0,000, ,0OO. The nearest approach to this value was In 1900, when forty-five and one-third millions of dollars worth was im- ported.

DIVORCE LAWS ABROAD.
In France the Innocent Party May Rs. cover All the Presents He or
 She Has Given.

There are many curious and inter- esting facts regarding the marriage and divorce laws of foreign countries, . dianapolis News, recently returned from a trip abroad, where he made a study of the question.
 Breaches of promise are averted in Hungary by an express declaration of the civil marriage act (1S95) that the relations created by betrothal do not give the right to command the con- clusion of marriage, Lut If either party withdraws from an engagement without just reasons he or she is bound to grant compensation to the extent of the outlay incurred. Divorce in the English sense does not exist, but the courts can decree the personal separation of a married couple with out dissolving the bonds of matrimony.
 "A curious law prevailing in France provides that, before being married. children of family, although over age, shall seek in respectful and formal terms the advice of their father and mother. It makes no differences 'isUr- ever, whether the consent of paupnts is given, for the couple can be married a month after under any circumstances. This is also the case in the Neither lands.
 "A divorce further entities the in- nocent party to recover all the pres ents he or she may have made.
 "AccoruIng to the constitution of the Netherlands, the civil marriage must always precede the religious ceremony. The latter, indeed, is left entirely to the conscience of the parties concerned. There Is also law providing that no man or woman under 30 can marry without the consent of parents. If the consent be refused the couple have to appear before a judge. who advises them as he thinks best
 Many countries have now abolished all marriage fees. This is the case in Norway, while in the Netherlands cer- tain days in the week are set apart when persons may be married without 1AynnARt" ----"--~ -
