What She Would Do.

One of the most fun loving members
of the Native Daughters of the Golden
West is Miss Johanna Myer, the out
side sentinel of Golden State Parlor
of this city. In that Office she has
charge of the anteroom and must re-
main outside of the meeting room while
the others are within discussing the
business of the parlor. Some time ago
one of the grand presidents CT the order
officially visited the parlor and in her
official capacity questioned each officer
to ascertain how we'll she understood
the duties of her station. After Miss
Myer had answered the questions asked
she wanted to know If 1t was in order
to ask the grand president a question.
Certainly" was the reply; that is
what 1 am here for-to answer any
question in relation to the work of the
parlor.'
Well then" continued Miss Myer,
''if you were in my place, that CT out
side sentinel, sitting in the anteroom
all by your lonely, and there was
rap at the door and you discovered
that the alarm was given by gentle
man, what would you do?"
why" said the dignified grand
president ''in that case / would as
certain if he wanted to see any MEM
ber of the parlor, and would, if such
were the case, politely request him to
wait until l could summon the mem
ber."
THAT is not what 1 would do" said
Miss Myer.
What would you do?" asked the
visiting official.
Worthy grand president" slowly
said the outside sentinel, Il would look
through the wicket, and if the man
was good looking one / would make
sure that the inner door was locked.
then admit him into the anteroom and
have a nice chat with him until it was
time to close the parlor."

Yankee Ingenuity.

Beating the Mexican customs service

featuring concerns as boosting the in
ternal revenue" in Tombstone saloons
is with the Arizona cowboys. Recently
a commercial traveller for a big Boston
shoe factory gathered in large order
for his wares in the City of Mexico
and hurried home to fill them. Three
months later a consignment of shoes
marked Jose Smith, City of Mexico,
fell into the hands of the Mexican offl-
cials at Nogales, and after passing
through the formality Of confiscation
they We're publicly auctioned off.
There was a large crowd on hand
to bid for the shoes, but an examina-
ton of the consignment revealed the
fact that they were not mates, but all
rights" In consequence the bidding
was light and the entire lot was finally
Knocked down at ridiculously low
figure to stranger in the town. ABOUT
three weeks later the Mexican officials
in the customs Office seized at Juarez
another consignment Of shoes, and In
due time they were put up for auction
Intending bidders, however, were star
tied by the discovery that all the shoes,
about 1000 in number, were lefts.
Naturally the sale was a failure from
a financial standpoint, and the goods
went to an unknown bidder, who
bought them in for handful of Mexi-
can dollars.
Eventually these two consignments
found their way into the City of Mexico
and to the shelves of some or the
leading retail shops; but before they
had reached their destination they had
been carefully assorted into pairs and
reboxed by the shrewd Yankee drum
mer, whose ingenuity had been respon-
sible for their novel method of transit
through the customs channels into the
southern republics capital.

years ago this coin was sent to Wash

Royal Road to Golf.

first game of golf is told in The Court
Circular and News. His Majesty
(then Prince Of Wales) was attending
classes at Edinburgh University when.
escorted by Sir James G. Baird, he
visited the links at Musselburgh.
Tom Brown, famous caddie of the
older school, carried the royal clubs.
and on one of the greens his Majesty
gave the ball a push, instead of
legitimate stroke. This was too much
for the caddie, and Brown reproved
his royal employer in the free language
of his school. Sir j. G. Baird there
upon informed the caddie that he
must be more guarded in his language,
to which '"Tom," to the Kings in

'War is hell" said Sherman We
may all agree, but it is so interesting
that 1t will be as immortal as Dante's
Inferno.
A Hungarian benefactor of the
species, we learn on good authority, has
invented a means for making it truly
humane-without its guilt, and with
only five-and-twenty per cent of its
danger, as Mr.. Jorrocks observed of
hunting.
This amiable genius, whose expert
ence of war dates back to the Austrian
campaigns against France in 1859 and
against Prussia in 1866, has hit, he de-
clares, on a solution of the problem of
making military omelettes without
breaking eggs.
He has invented a new kind of shell.

kind bursting between the decks of

Gently returned to England acquaint British educa-
tors upon the methods of school and college
education in force in this country During the last

the extended reports of the several members of

says Mosely that the average American boy when he
leaves school is infinitely better fitted for his vocation
struggle in life than the English boy and in conse-
quence there are in the United States smaller pro-
portion of failures and fewer who slide down hill and
eventually join the pauper, criminal submerged tenth
class. The aim OF education in America is to make
every boy fit for some definite calling in life
That is the strongest impression of the value of
American education that Mosely bore away with him,

which the American boy receives and the antiquated
