line, the self-appointed speaker, in a
| strident voice.
The widow smiled. She wore new
wrapper, the daughters noticed, and
| seemed to have recovered several
years of her age since the last time
they had seen her.
"Oh, yes, it's true enough, so fur
as it goes" she returned. "But you
hain't heared the hui o. it. Dave he
sold the honey fur me to big hotel
in the city at fancy price. An I've
paid off the NOR gidge, bought couple
more COWS an a new team, an got q

bank"
| "Wall, I declared" chorused the sis
tiers, shrilly. AN you never let us
| know nothing bout it,"
Didn't hev no time," smiled the
widow, calmly. "You see,< Dave was
bound him an Margie should marry

eatin' sassage to git her clos ready.
! The suremony is over, an we air jest
about to set down to the weddin'-din-

which was spread, and to which they
did ample justice, could blind the sons

The glowing faces of Margie and

the unbidden guests, who soon de-
parted with no attempt to disguise
their injured feelings.

If well-to-do women get collection of

wanted None of His Art.
At dinner In London, Theodore
Watts-Dunton said:
ut isn't generally known that Tur-
ner the painter and DR.. Augustus
Pritchard once lived together for a
year in Cheyne row.
''The painter and the physician had
a fine garden, and they took a good
deal of pride in their flowers. But the
garden gate did not work we'll, and one
day Turner, because it wouldn't open,
pettishly gave orders that it be nailed
up.
1T was thought that this odd act
would enrage Augustus Pritchard, but,
on being told of it, all he said was:
"'Oh, well, don't care what Turner
does to the gate, SO long as he doesn't
paint it. IN. Y. Tribune.

V@ we see here are perfectly
wonderful, and at the same
same time so simple that one does not
consider whether they are transforma-
lions or not. The whole effect is one
of gentle undulat{on, the hair dressed
somewhat pompadour, with no fringe
but bouffant all round, without any ex-
aggeration. In other words, the colt
fure of the moment is peculiarly ele-
gante, and not suggestive of BARRIERS
block or anything of that kind.
The picture hats now in vogue are in
keeping with the style Of the couture.
The Cavalier shape with curious
straight brim, and a high crown is be-
coming popular; it Is made in finest
chips, Leghorns and Panamas. and &C.
casionally the back is caught up with
bows of black velvet or loops Of plain
black Or white silk ribbon, and won
derful, sweeping, Paradis plumes, a
single ostrich feather or one exceeding
ly large rose. This is q welcome change
after the big wells and many flowers
we have been wearing for some time
past, and it seems more In keeping
with the old-world frocks, which them
selves boast a sufficiently large guam
tity of trimming. But this trimming is
of the best.
Quite lovely for summer wear are
the black lace picture hats. Many Of
these are the Cavalier type with big
buckle, and single sweeping plume. A
white ostrich feather is favorite form
of decoration for the black hat, and
this is always a chic combination. I
have seen beautiful Cavalier shape in
black Panama with a rucked and gath
cred band of black velvet and tulle,
and a Louis XVI. buckle at the side,
with one enormous white ostrich
plume. The great beauty Of this hat
lay in its. simplicity of line and ex-
quisite feather.

lowers or feathers. are q fitting &C.

SPRING OF THE LION.

have habit of waiting in dense thickets
for their pursuer, and are on him before
he can see them. A son of mine was
following up wound gaur some time
ago in very thick jungle when it suddenly
charged him, and knocked him over
twice, striking the rifle out of his hands.
Wonderful to relate, he escaped with a
few slight bruises. l have only shot one
Indian buffalo on foot, and that one had
no chance of charging. From the deter
mined way, however, in which have
seen these animals attack elephants, l
should say that no more dangerous an
tagonist exists than wounded buffalo
in high grass. 1t is extremely difficult
to give it fatal shot, and almost i'm
possible to escape the deadly sweep OF
the ponderous horns"
Mr.. w. H. Grenfell, NJ P, whose sport
ing experiences have included big
game of more than one hemisphere,
is somewhat reluctant to offer decided
opinion.
'The position occupied by the sports
man makes great deal of difference in
estimating the danger incurred To
anyone perched on howdah q
wounded tiger, however brave, is not
very dangerous; but to any one pursuing
him on foot he is very different guam
tity. Half-tame animals, such as pet
stays, which have lost their fear of man
are dangerous; but of genuinely wild ami
mails, should say that the elephant and
African bu1alo show the greatest vindic-
tiveness and cunning in attack, though
you may kill many with impunity before
you encounter one which really means
business" ~
Mr.. J. G. Msllais, whose interesting
writings and beautiful drawings of South
African game have delighted so many
sportsmen, puts in q claim for. the Cape
buffalo and leopard. and for third can
didate, his choice CT which would occa-
sion some surprise. were it not for the &C.
+ companying explanation:
Il am afraid" says Mr.. Millais, that
my opinion as to the most dangerous
beast is not worth very much, as have
killed very few Of those with the worst
reputation. Perhaps the most tricky an
finals are the Cape buffalo and the leon
ard, because you never know how and
when they are going to charge. Most
other dangerous beasts give you fair
warning. I think a great deal too much
has been written on the Charging Of
beasts, which merely attack when cor
nered or in defense Of young. remem-
Der big grizzly making a so-called
charge from a hundred yards distance
and passing with few yards of me. He
was not, in my opinion. really charging
at all, but merely taking what he thought
the most suitable line of retreat. More
men have been killed and injured by leop-
ards and Cape buffalo than any other
creatures. 1t is not a pleasant sensation
to find a big black bull buffalo facing you
within a few yards, as I once expert
enced." ':@@ 4r~, *7<<s.r

But of all the species of big game,

some for both, and to many of them l
have put this question. can do no bet
ter than to give few of their answers
and let the reader judge for himself:
Cen A. A. A. Kinloch, whose acquaint-
ance with the big game of India covers a
long period and q wide geographical
range, says:
''Your question as to which I consider
the most dangerous animal to encounter
when at bay is difficult one to answer
satisfactorily. So much depends upon
circumstances, such as the nature of the
ground, etc. have had little experience,
having seldom been charged by any
animals when on foot Only elephant,
gaur aid panther have really come for
me, and have always killed or stopped
<hem. have, of course, often followed
up wounded dangerous beasts, but have
generally found them more anxious to
escape than to fight In the open, a
good shot who is well armed and keeps
perfectly cool should nearly always kill
or turn any animal. Under such circum-
stances think that the elephant is prob
ably the most dangerous, as when his
head is raised and his trunk coiled, it
is difficult to judge the true line for the
brain. In long grass or thick jungle
perhaps several animals are about equal
ly dangerous. You may almost tread on
a wounded tiger or panther before you
| see it, and it may seize you before you

One of the queerest shipments of Kan

Emporia for long time was a two

from Will Williamson's farm four miles
west of Emporia, which was sent to

experiment with that crop. The alfalfa
earth is impregnated with a kind OF
parasite which lives on alfalfa and
which is a very good thing for the alfalfa

parasites. The soil from the. field will
be scattered on the soil in which the
seed is planted, thus helping the plants

Vdual Mails by Belligerents.

London, July 1S.-There is a well.
defined feeling in all quarters that the
seizure of the British and German
steamers by the Russian volunteer
cruisers Smolensk and Petersburg
marks the first European complication
resultant upon the Russo-Japanese
war
This feeling of uneasiness and fear
was acccntuated today by the action
of the British admiralty, which has
ordered the Mediterranean squadron
to leave Malta and proceed immedi-
atcly to Alexandria, which is close to
the mouth of the Suez canal and has
further directed two fast cruisers to
proceed TO the Suez canal and take
station in the Red sea. The home
and channel squadrons has been mob
ilized for maneuvers, presumably, but
II is pointed out that these maneuv-
ers never occur until the fall, and
their present mobilization is taken
to have a peculiar sibnificance.
