Captain Rowan and Chinese.

John M. Sweitzer, one of the
delegates to the republican ma
tional convention from the Philip
pines, tells good story on Cap
tain Andrew Rowan, of Atchison,
Kas., whose exploit in carrying
the presidents message to Garcia
won for him a place among the
heroes Of the Spanish war.
Rowan was stationed at a post
N one OF the remote provinces OF
tie islands. \ backward season
had been disastrous to crops, and
the prices of provender had gone
skyWard as a result.
About this time several wealthy
Chinese merchants had been ar
rested for smuggling. Rowan put
the Mongols at work cutting the
grass. This brought forth pro-
test that finally found its way to
the chief authorities at Manila.
In due course of time the fol-
lowing telegram reached Rowan
Why are you compelling veal
thy Chinese merchants OF cut the
grass?
Because grass is high" was
Rowon's locanic response.

French MiIIionaires.

The French ministry of n
nance has just published the sta
tistics of the wills proved in
France in 1903, and from this it IS
evident that the number OF very
rich people in the country has
been grossly exaggerated.
Last year only 4o7 wills, leaving
more than 100000 francs, or
10000 pounds, were proved, and
of these only IA exceeded B.
600, 900 francs, or 100000
pounds. There were only eight
fortunes Of over 100000 francs,
or 1000 pounds, and the high
est of all was of the exceptional
value of 1000, 900 pounds. 1t IS
evident, then, that the real mil
lionaires in France are very few,
but it should be noted that rich
men in. France marry rich wives,
SO that family may be much
more wealthy than the will OF
either father or mother would

The Eight Largest Diamonds.

The eight LARGEST diamonds in the
world are what are known as crown
Jewels. Seine Of them are in an
uncut state, and others are carefully
cut and finished, so that there is a
wide difference in their value. The
Kohinoor, the smallest in weight,
has been thus reduced by cutting.
and is much the most valuable OF the
lot, and has been estimated at less
than 100000. The list is as fol-
lows: The Braganza, part of the
Portugal jewels, weighs 1880 ca
rats; the Kohinoor, belonging to
the English crown, 1903 oarats; Star
of Brazil, I25 carats; Regent Of
France, 1876 carats; Austrian Kai-
ser, I3q carats; Russian Gar, IS2
carats; Rajah of Borneo, 367
carats.

One % the effects of the hot

an end to General Boulanger's
old black horse. that once famous
charger which used to carry

view and figured in the welcome
of that hero as he rode back at
the head of the Paris garrison
from Longchamps to the war OF

Potei,tstes MunchInq Fruit.

At the present moment there if
luite a rage for fruit diet among
several European royalties. The
German emperor breakfasts and
lunches off fruit, and only tastes
meal at dinner time, when he
partakes of it very sparingly.
The king of Italy for the last
couple of months has lived al
most altogether on fruit, and in
several of the leading restaurants
at Rome fruit in various shapes
and forms make almost the sole
article of diet supplied to Gus
toners.

Tho Don't Os r,cize Bob.

There may be places in the Uni
ted States and England where prize
fighters are ostracized by society,
but this is not the case in Benson
hurst, N. Y, and Fashionable places
nearby. There is no man more
sought after at these places than
Bob FitzSirnmons. When he goes
into the water there are always a
dozen young men and women
around him, and they are glad to be
in his company. On the plaza of
tie Oriental hotel one day recently
one of the snlartest young ladies in
a group remarked: Il was swim
ming today with Bob FitzsimmonS
and his party" All the other girls
looked envious, although they pro-
fessed to be shocked. Fitz is a big,

Where Hats Are Free.

Once year in the latter part OF
August, New York has a free
straw hat distribution. This year
occurred recently. All The big
iobbing houses on Broadway be
tween Houston and Chambers
streets disposed of the stock in
the usual manner. In one place
the clerks and the employers took
UP stations in the windows OF the
second floor and sailed" the hats
out 70 the waiting throng. 1t
was like throwing pennies to pick
aninnies. Every time a hat APP
peared there was a rush for its
possession. 1t was the nearest
thing to a football game or col
lege cane rush that one could inl-
agine. While most OF the free hat
grabbers were newsboys and
street gamins. there were many
we'll dressed and respectable men
participating in the scrimmage
for headgear. The chance toeget
something free overpowered them
evidently and they seemed to be
willing to l.se So worth of dignity
for the sake Of getting a 81 hat
for noting.
