PARKER's DAUGHTER.
Only Child an Interesting Personality
Who Sees Joy in Living.

st Louis, July with little curls
playing ring around a rosy on her
white forehead and even down near her
ears, with her head well held, with her
brown eyes looking straight at the
place where things are happening, with
her little mouth in a half smile, Mrs
Charles Mercer Hale, the only daugh-
ter OF Judge Alton Brooks Parker looks
box of Mrs. Daniel Manning, president
OF the board of lady managers of the
fair.
Friends say that Mrs Hale, whose
glrlhood name was Bertha Parker, is
like her father, both as to countenance
and character. Then his hair must be
sandy in color, having no place even in
the suburbs of auburn. 1t must grow
thick Hers is heavy. She wears it
high and let's the curls that have no
fear of rainy days play as they will
His eyes must be a good brown Not
the kind that once were gray and
darkened nor like that unto faded
black. But brown with lights that are
browns own and no stolen ones.
Judge Parker must have loads of pri-
vate personal fun out of the world
with eyes and hair like those of his
daughter. Brown eyes like theirs must
see the joy of life Her nose is well
shaped and small. So are her ears Her
forehead has both height and BREADTH
earnestness Her mouth likes the half
smile She does not laugh often but
the half smile is permitted to have as
much fun as her curls.
Mrs. Hale is tall Her figure is slen-
der which makes her look even taller
than she is. She walks we'll
To me my father is the best man in
the world. He is my ideal" That is
the way Mrs. Hale speaks of her faith
er She is an only child. She had a
brother once, but he died just at boy
hoods best time, II, and since then
she has been both daughter and son.
That is one of the reasons perhaps
that she so loves boys. and that they
so love her.
OF her own boy, Alton Parker Hale,
she is proud. She is glad that he in a
way takes the place of the boy that has
gone from her fathers home
Mrs Hale knows men as we'll as boys.
she has had ample opportunity in the
home of her father to meet men of ma
tional renown. Her nearness to him
has caused her to know much of the
world and she understands situations
well.
or politics she will not talk=for pub
LEGATION. Her English is exact Her
voice is a trifie high. but she says her
words with clearness. She has taste in
dress and a good knowledge of combi-
nations. That was noticed when she
was a guest at the dinner given in hon.
or of Cardinal Satolli at "Des Deutsehe
HauS" by DIR. Lewald. Her gown was
of pale green liberty silk. Under the
beautiful crystal candelabra of the mir
ror room above the green softness of
her dress, Mrs. Hale's hair was like an
aureole.

GRAY EAGLE WOKE UP.
Red Flag Dropped and He Thought
He Was Back on the Track.

Gray Eagle was a proud horse Satur-
day. Gray Eagle used to be a race
horse, but thai, alas! was long, long
ago. OF late years-sic transi gloria
mundi with horses as well as with men
Gray Eagle has been doomed to drag
heavy carts about South Orange.
dreaming, perhaps, of other days, but
only reproachfully wiggling an ear at
the crack of the whip of his present
owner, Michael Newman.
In the old days Gray Eagle was cap
able of a 1;42 clip, but no one would
have guessed it had he seen the old
horse jogging along Mead street Satur-
day with Mr.. Newman in a heavy wa
gon behind him-until something hap
pened.
Horses have memories. and away
back in Gray Eagles brain siumbered
the recollection of the starters flag at
Gettysburg and Clifton and the excite
ment of the rush and the dust and the
triumph of the track.
AS Gray Eagle plodded along two
stylish and rapid runaboutS came up
behind. and just then. too, the red flag
of an auctioneer fell from it's place be-
fore the eyes of the old horse. In an
instant his neck arched,hi pace quick
ened, his muscles qufyered.
.'Whoa." cried Mr. Newman as he
tugged on the lines.
They're off" yelled a bystander as
the runabouts came up.and Gray Eagle
dashed for the homestretch. Mr.. New
man might as we'll have been a babe.
The fury of the race was in the
blood of the old horse, and at clip
ping rate he OUTRAGED the youngsters
with the runabouts and never stopped
until the heavy wagon, skiding in the
street, struck a lamp post Then Gray
Eagle stopped and surveyed the wreck.
Bystanders helped Mr.. Newman to
his feet and the two men in runabouts
drove on waving their hands.-New

his friends prepare to listen to tales
of wonderful shots. One of the latest
told by Klett is this:
II was out hunting ducks a few
weeks ago when 1 had an. experience
which was never equalled in all my
hunting days. 1 was out bright and
early in the morning to get shots at
the birds while they we're getting
breakfast. / had good luck for a time
and when the sun was about two hours
high decided to take only d few more
shots and then get my breakfast. Sud
denly a number of ducks flew UP, and.
by mistake, I grabbed a rifle which I
had in the boat. instead of my shot
gun. Before I noticed the mistake one
duck was directly over me and I de-
cided to take chance with the rifle.
Ducks can't see very good in the sun
light, but just as 1 pulled the trigger
of the shooting iron cloud obscured
the sun, and this is what saved the
life of the duck 1 was after. The fowl
saw the rifle ball coming and lodged
it. Honest !-Philadelp Tele-

by crowd of men who were not ac-

The man who was offering to
wager SO much money was Colonel
Jospeh Thompson Dougine, who was
the author of the scheme to pump out

worlds fair site in 1891. Colonel
Dougine had Samuel w. Allerton as
his hacker in his favorite plan. He is

the merits of their candidate with

FORMER Congressman Walter H
Butler of Iowa was one of the Hearst
debaters- Butler made himself ia

been known as 'Pansy Blossom" But
Ter, Butler fell into a discussion with
a Texas delegate who was a Parker
enthusiast. The former congressman
easily out-talked the Lone Star states
declaring:

of Cod
But Gods voice can't be heard
You make too much noise" shouted
Butler as the delegate disappeared.

COIlapses.

The walls of the two story addition
in the rear of the old cracker factory
on Kansas avenue, opposite the Sey-
mour commission house at Crane street,

water coming up around them from the
city park. The basement of the build
ing is full of water. The building is
unoccupied.
The basement of the Ralston Yeast
factory in the rear of the old cracker
