HERO AND THE TOoTHAcHE
Remarks Thereon by 6 Disillusioned Girl-He Had Faced Death
 at Santiago.

q used to be given to her O worship" said the girl with the Russian sable huff to her companion of the long, dark eyelashes, according to the New York Sun. "But, dear, we change, do we not? Do you recall how I spent the last of my pin money to attend a reception that the club arranged for a certain hero?
 "Well, the week before last I was coming up from Palm Beach. On the train was hero who had withstood a dozen hostile fires at Santiago. He had a toothache, a simple little toothache, and he bel. lowed like a calf. I thought of the five teeth that I had pulled out in one afternoon without gas and asked myself if the man was real. ly brave. I decided that a hero must have a toothache such as the ordinary mortal never dreamed of.
 "One of the train hands who sympathized with the hero said The best thing for a toothache is whisky. If l had one I'd fill up'- and he did. I mean my hero, that was, did. Don't talk to me in flu. ture of hero worship. Facing death may be one thing, but I'd rather face death than be afraid of toothache. Have a bon bon ?"

POPE A GREAT FAVORITE.
Has Been Pulpit Orator of Rsnown from Very Outset of His
 Priestly Career.

One recalls, writes William J. D. Croke, in Century, those nov. ing speeches which, as car. diDal, he delivered weeping in the conclave, setting forth all his i'm perfections (his sins, even), and the disadvantages of his career from barefooted boyhood up, but which really secured him the throne, and the stories of him which every one knows in Lonl. bardy and Venetia. For no eccle siastic can have been more widely known than he. A pulpit orator of renown from the very outset of his priestly career, the sought. after panegyrist of great occa. sions when bishop and patriarch, no wonder that he was hailed by a voice ill Rome when he took pos. session of his title as cardinal "No one has spoken so we'll as this cardinalw As country assistant, then parish priest, then professor in the seminary of Treviso, canon, chancellor of the diocese, great hierarch of Mantua, the successor of St. Mark, everyone seems to know him, and no one has any memory that is not pleasant.

IDEAL IN HousEKEEPIEc.
Many sf the ola Customs and Cen ditfens Are Passing nntiFs-
 ly Away.

generation ago to be an ideal heuss- keeper was the chief ambition of almest every woman. No girl desired fsirss fate than to be placed at the head of . household with good and loving hua- band to supply all her wants and make her tho mistress and the queen of his heart and his home. In most cases, says the Peoria Herald Transcript, the girl who started housekeeping had moro ss less sxperisnce In the art under the tuition of her mother. She1oved to decorate and beautify the house which was to be her home during the rest of her earthly piI- Erimage. She loved to create delicacies for her husband and her children, and. disguise 1t as we may, much of the af- her skill as . homemaker. When her children grew up around nes this kind and sympathetic mother and the pantry were the chief attractions In their world. As they grew older the ties only grew tks stronger. When they acquired families sf their ewn the old homestead, with its abundance of good things. still had attractions for them. The kind old mother was still their best friend She knew all the dificulties they had to en- counter in starting homes of their own, and her advice and sympathy were worth more to them than gold. The grandchildren came to venerats her as . sort of venerable goddess, and when she finally went away from the home circle she left a vacancy which could never be filled.
 But we are assured with every symp- tom of rejoicing that these conditions are passing; that women have been emancipated; that in the future they are to be the rival, instead of the helpmate, of man. and that they must combine to enforce their just demands against the hostility of the male sex. This is non- sense pure and simple. It may be true that there are more mannish women In this generation than there were in ths last. It Is unfortunately true that . larger proportion of the female popula- tion has been forced to be self-support. Ing, but it is not true that women enjoy the so-called liberty" which goes wita toiling for living.
 The home instinct is too deeply planted in the heart of women to be re- moved by the effects of generation oi club work. It will never be removed. A few women may go after strange gods, but the natural, wholesome girl will still find her highest ideal of happiness in good husband and cozy home. The clubs may succeed in making such homes impossible to few men and women by making the young women feel that they have a more important work in the world than the prosaic duty of home making, but among the masses of the American people the mother will con- tinue to be the bond which unites the unities of that holy institution the fam. Fly, and she will continue in this exalted role until the end of all things.

WHAT DROVE HIM TO DRINK.
She Was Happy and Yet There Was an Awful Possibility 0p-
 pressing Her.

Darling" he said. as he placed his arm around her waist and drew her ten- derly to his breast, relates the New York Times, why those pearly tears? Is the home that have brought you to less magnificent than you expected?"
 "Oh. n-no." she sobbed. Ut is g-grana~ CT than dared to h-hope."
 Have you found since our marriage shst am less exalted than you had sup posed me to be?"
 "Oh, Fired, you are a th-thousand times more exalt-t-ted than I thought you to b-be."
 Stopping down he kissed away two large tears that were trembling upon her long. graceful lashes, and asked:
 "Has 1t grieved you to be taken from your parents and the scenes of your childhood, little one."
 ''No, no, dear-dearest," she replied, T would g-gladly go anywhere w-with you"
 Great heavens!" he cried, in wild alarm. Perhaps you are ill. Tell me. Is 1t so. sweetheart?"
 "No," she said, through a fresh burst of tears, 1t is not that"
 A look of deep perplexity overspread his handsome visage, and, pushing her back so that he could look down into her big, beautiful. tear-dimmed eyes, he asked:
 Then, what in tho dickens is the trouble?"
 T was j-just think-thinking," she re- turned, "how miserable I should be if you were to die and I w-were to marry s-some one who wouldn't appreciate all this magnif1cence."

AN ODD OLD CHARACTER.
Kate, ths 1umboat Woman, Who Has Haunted Washington's Navy
 yard for Forty Years.


 Kate, the bumboat woman, Is the title applied to an odd crea- ture who has been haunting the Washington navy yard for the past 4O years, says the Washing ton Post. Her name is Kate Royal, and as far back and further than the oldest man connected with the yard can remember, Kate has been making her daily trips with her basket of candy, fruit and notions to sell to the sailors who visit Washington on Uncle Sam's boats. Kate has a speaking acquaintance with all the great men of the army and navy. She has letters and presents from most of them, including Amirals Dewey, Sampson and Schlsy.
 Kate made her first visit to the yard during the civil war. She was a young woman in those days, and her bright Irish ways made her a great favorite. In later years, when age began to ere .p upon her, she began to form an opinion that she was an ,active and indispensable part of the navy. She considered, herself an enlisted person and became as de- voted to the cause as the most loyal man. It is just 40 years since Kate began to consider herself | sailor.
 She has had ten red enlistment stripes, representing four years each, placed upon a field of blue cloth, and this she wore to cele- brate the anniversary.
 Kate is a picturesque charac- ter. Her form is bowed beneath the weight of 70 years, and her face is scanned with the marks of time. Only her eyes still retain the brilliancy of youth, and they sparkle with the same Irish hu- nor and good nature that gleamed from them 40 years ago.
 Kate has no regular hours of business. She is on hand with the rising sun, and the late hours of the evening find her still on duty. She gathers her little stock of trade around her under the fore. castle of one of the United States boats lying up at the yard, ,s> and with the sailor boys lying around her on the floor she will tell them tales of her youth or crone Irish melodies for them until the signal for lights out is passed around. and the sailors seek their swing ing hammocks, and Kate shoul. ders her basket of goods and wan ders home.

"Radium sirup.n

A practical joke, now common among Parisians, is to go into a drug store and ask for three cents' worth of radium. At first the chemists took it good-naturedly, but latterly it has become quite a nuisance. One chemist in the Rue de Rivoli has just hit upon a way of getting even with the would-be jokers. He has made a concoctiop which he calls "radium sirup," al, ] when the practical joker arrives gravely hands out n small quantity, charging an extra tive csnta for the bottle.

When the petals of the great laurel magnolia are touched, however lightly, the result is a brown spot, which develops in a few hours. The fact Is taken ad vantage of by the South Ameri can lover, who pulls a magnolia flower, and on one of it's pure white petals writes a motto or message with disappointed pen ell. Then he sends the flower, the young lady puts it in vase of wa. Ter, and in three or four hours the message written on the leaf be comes perfectly visible, and re mains so.

The New Cabinet.

1t is generally conceded that Pres
ident Roosevelt has practically de-
cided upon every member of his Cab
met. When his present term expires
there will be only one change In the
Cabinet. George B. Cortelyou will
succeed Postmaster General Wynne,
and Mr.. Wynne, if he desires it, will
be given some important post in the
diplomatic or consular service.
John Hay will remain at the head
of the State Department. Leslie NJ.
Shaw, secretary of the treasury, 1t is
said, desires to retire, but will prob
ably be induced to hold on until some
months after the Inauguration OF
President Roosevelt, Secretary Of the
Navy Morton, Secretary of War Taft,
Attorney General Moody, Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson and Secretary
Metcalf of commerce and labor will
undoubtedly retain their present port
folios. Secretary Hitchcock of the
Interior Department has an ambition
to become the next United States
senator from Missouri. Hitchcock
may go out even if defeated for the
Senate.
Rumor has 1t that in event Of the
retirement of Secretary Hitchcock ex-
Governor Richards of Wyoming, at
present commissioner of the General
Land Oface, will succeed him in the
cabinet.

sian army. 1t was particularly severe
on December 18th. when the Japanese
made demonstration against Russian
positions.
The Russians present picturesque
appearance. The sides OF the hills and
fields around the villages are dotted
with mud huts, and little chimneys Of
dugouts from which smoke is rising.
These habitations Of the common SOL
diers are even more comfortable than
the officers quarters In Chinese
houses.
The huts for the enlisted men are
well built, roomy, with small glass
windows, and each is provided with a

cry comfort possible, including great
quantities of warm clothing and heat

LATEST WASHINGTON NEWS AND
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS
Woman Suffrage.

The resolution granting to the
women OF the various states the right
TO vote for members of the House of
Representatives was made the basis
OF a hearing before the. Senate com.
mittee on woman suffrage. The ques-
tion was pres ented by a committee
consisting of representatives of the
Federal Woman's Equality Associa-
ton, and included Mrs. Clara Colby
OF Portland. Oregon; Dr. Clara w.
MacNaughton and Mrs. Belva Lock
wood.
Il live in the District of Columbia,
where nobody votes" said Mrs. Lock-
wood, "and l am just as good as a man
here"
Both she and Mrs. Colby made ar
guments In support of the constitu-
tionality of the bill. In addition to
announcing her conclusion In behalf
of her sex, Mrs. Lockwood expressed
the hope that the congressional rep.
resentation Of the southern states
would be reduced unless the negroes
are protected in their rights of suf-
frage. The declaration brought q
smile to the face of Senator Bacon of
Georgia, who is chairman of the suf-
frage committee
Mrs. Colby said it was not true that
women are Quiescent under the pres
ent discrimination against them, but
that in reality they feel keenly the
deprivation imposed upon them.
Many Of them are, she said, property
owners, and she contended for their
right of representation at the polls.
She also called attention to a Supreme
Court decision to the effect that negro
citizens are entitled to vote in all the
states, and drew the conclusion that
as women are citizens some provisions
be extended to them.
