MEN NOT ALWAYS PUNCTUAl
One Observer Says It Is the Woman
Who Has to Wait.

Which is the punctual or the least
unpunctual sex? A correspondent who
has been making studies in the portico
of the Royal academy arrives at very
certain conclusions, and he has given
us the benefit of them.
The two benches that flank the door
are filled each morning at an even
hour, such as II, with ladies who have
arrived any time during the preceding
fifteen minutes. Their patient eyes
are fixed on Picadilly.
For ten minutes nothing occurs
Then one by one men arrive, and the
waiting woman rises with cheerful
alacrlty to join her dilatory lord. She
offers no reproaches and he makes no
apologies.
"We are both punctual," Is the first
mans complacent exclamation to the
woman who came a quarter of an hour
early, and smiles, not in irony, but in
pleasure, that her fifteen minutes of
monotony is relieved by the assured
presence of her expected man.
The last laggard to arrive is half an
hour late. 81 thought it better to give
you little grace" he says benevolent
ly. And she murmurs, Thanks. -

Have you ever heard how a treaty
between the Modoc and Pit River In
dians. way out in eastern Oregon, was
nullifed?" asked NJ. T. Rogers. while
discussing frontier and early day ex-

constant warfare with each other
long years ago, and the fortunes of
war varied. Some seasons victory
would be with the Pit Rivers and at
other times their hereditary enemies.

Upon one occasion the Modocs man
aged to capture the entire band
through some strategy, and when they
counted noses II was found that cap
tors and captured were about equal
in number When the necessary
guards were supplied to keep the pris-
oners from escaping 1t was found that
there were not enough Modocs left
to do the hunting or go on the war
path.
Finally a council was held and the
chiefs reached an agreement for a
treaty of peace between the two
tribes. The condition of the treaty
was that the Pit River Indians were
never again to own horses. this being
required because the Modocs could
easily keep them under control with
out horses to do their marauding
The captured band returned to their
hunting grounds and established viii

number of years.
Attracted by the excellent sheep

country and brought with them large
herds of ponies to be used in round

ing upon the horses and finally the
ranchmen learned the band was with
out ponies. When the fall weather
came and corrals were found neces-
sary, the ranchmen entered into an
agreement for the services of the In
dians to supply rails to fit up corrals
The Indians refused pay for the work
done, but took ponies instead. They
also refused to accept full pay, in
sisting upon owing the ranchmen a
balance upon each pony secured, SC
that the title remained in the name OF
the whites.

PAPER NAPKINS IN THOUSANDS
Made In This Country In Great Mum.
bers and OF Fine Appearanee.

h|fo aNe " FHlC fNpptaEdUNt.
Up TO within ten years all of the
many millions OF paper napkins an
nually consumed in the United States
were imported from Japan or China,
but now large proportion of them
are made here. This proportion Is
constantly increasing, and now Aher-
ican paper napkins are exported to
Europe.
Some of the napkins produced in
this country are printed with designs
Japanese in character, but the great
bulk are original in every way. They
include napkins printed with various
flowers. which are reproduced with
fidelity to nature, both in drawing
and in color, and which are also In
many cases arranged with most ar
tistic effect upon the paper.
And then there are napkins with re.
productions in color of playing cards,
and others with the flags of various
nations. And then there are napkins
upon which are printed yacht flags,
and napkins printed with music, and
napkins with other designs.
There are still other napkins that
are plain white, without ornaments
ton; and then there are napkins
printed with some simple design In
one or two colors, and there are nap
kins with pattern embossed, and
napkins with a border printed with a
pattern in gold or in silver; and gold
and silver are used also on some oi
the napkins printed in colors to en-
hance the decorative effect.
These napkins are. in short. pro
duced in scores of styles. many o
which are artistic. In fact, to any
body who had never seen one, the
sample book of an American manu-
facturer of paper napkins would be {
surprise.
Some American napkins are sole
for less than any imported, while
some of the finest cost more. Their
is. for example. an American napkin
of tissue paper and printed with tw'
colors that is sold at Wholesale for a
little as 80 cents a thousand. Thi
napkin is printed from continuou
rolls of paper on presses similar Il

Japanese Soldiers.

zone reason why my countrymen
fight so WELL" said Japanese in New
York, 'is that they are not hampered
with baggage as the Russians and
other soldiers are. The Japanese sol
der is a fighting man, pure and sim

pairing camp are left to servants, and
on the march most of the baggage is
carried in wagons, where the servants,
not the soldiers. place it. There is
great deal of difference between car
