Cheer I'm.

There are three classes OF women
those who whine all the time, those
who are brave when there's no trou-
BILE in the air and bowling when there
is, and those who are fine and SPLEEN
did ali the time, filed to the bl1m
with dandy courage and ready 10 help
all the world if need be. To this class
belong the human Life preservers, the
mortal poultices, the living comforts
and Solaces. Most of us are the sort
that fly into the clouds over a hope
and dash down into the depths at a
single fear. 1t is balance and brains
that most Of us need. What's the
use Of all ones fine beliefs if they
don't stand by one in the supreme mo-
ment of need? Fair weather bray
cry is the kind that will always rub
off at the first touch Of trouble. Now,
to which of these three classes viii you
belong? Come, be good fellow, and
join the brave Of heart. You won't be
happy until you do.-Chicago Record

Romance of An Explorer.

When the will Of Paul B. Du Chaillu,
African explorer, was filed the inter
esting fact was revealed that it was
a dissa pointment in love that led the
wealthy and brilliant writer to turn ex-
plorer.
From the day that his sweetheart
became the bride of another, Du
ChaiIlu threw himself into the work
Of African exploration with his whole
soul, never sparing his health nor his
wealth in the exacting cause Of
science.
His most notable performances were
the discovery of the gorilla and the
Africa. When he made the announce
ments Of these discoveries in his books
they were received with derision, and
it was not until specimens of both
gorillas and dwarfs were exhibited In
Europe that his detractors were ST.
fenced.
Du ChailIu diedin st. Petersburg. His
body was shipped to this country by
the st. Petersburg Geogra phical So
ciety. Henry r. Hoyt, warm person
al friend Of the decedent, was named
as executor.
Although Du Chaillu spent a great
fortune in his explorations, his will be-
queaths only $500 Of personal property.
This is accounted for by the fact that
he gave away all Of his valuable speci-
mems. His books, ''The Land Of the
Midnight Sum-" 1.-The country Of the
Dwarfs" Lost in the Jungle" "My
Apingi Country" "Stories of the Goril-
la World" and "Wild Life Under the
Equator" had great circulation and
Du ChaiIlu might have been a very
wealthy man, but he preferred to de
vote himself entirely to scientific work.

Unlucky charms! The Partisan has
am idea that when all else fails these
must bring her good fortune, and sc
she collects these curious little EN-
blems with an eagerness not often dis
played. A round tablet of gold or
which the number ID is largely marked
serves as one; a similar little plaque
has large eye upon it, assuredly an
evil eye; a peacock's tail feather in en-
amels; little bunch of bright green
ribbons; tiny pair of crossed knives
suspended from a ring; mirror charm,
cracked right across the center-all
these and many others are used worn
hanging ON a ring Of gold. By day
they gre caught in a chatelaine, in q
brooch, thrown in the corner Of hand
kerchief bag or purse; at night, If not
secreted in the folds of a corsage, they
will hang conspicuously in miladi's
boudoir, as if calling for the good luck
it has hitherto been supposed it was
their mission to avert.
