Winner of Prize Advises Girls te
Think OF other Things.

/ Winner oh FrAAe ADVISES Girls q
Think Of other Things.
! So far as Mrs. Lenhoff's telling it is
concerned no one would ever know
that she was May Stubensky, the prize
winner in the beauty contest at the
worlds fair.
Fifteen years ago she was an ac-
knowledged belle in Jewish circles and
a happier girl could not be found. Ru-
mors Of her beauty penetrated Seyond
Detroit, and with reluctance shs a%
cepted the invitation to enter the phSN
tOgraphic competition for the beauty
prize of the world, and no one was so
surprised as the young woman herself
when she carried off first prize as the
most beautiful woman Of her race. One
OF the priced relics Of that period is the
picture of herself that won the prize
She has constantly refused to let it be
published
"Oh, people would think I'm proud"
is her excuse. "And then see so many
ugly pictures in the papers they make
me laugh. Besides, don't like people
to see me as l was fifteen years ago.
They would notice so much difference
now"
1t is only after repeated efforts that
the visitor will be allowed even to gaze
upon the picture.
The passing Of the years has left
many marks ON this beautiful woman,
but has not entirely obliterated the
graceful lines Of her youth. Yet, of
all women, Mrs LenhOff has the least
to say in praise Of beauty.
BETTER that a girl be not so pretty"
she says, 'if she can be happy. Better
that she have not so many to praise
her II she can find one honest word
said to her. Beauty is not all; it is Of
ten the worst part of life"
Today she lives in a little cottage at
III Division street. With her only
child, bright lad Of eleven years, and
her father and mother she lives
quiet, humble life. Her husband is |
somewhere in South Africa. The fever
for adventure induced him to cross the !
seas, and it is ten long years since the |
girl he wOOed and won has seen him.
He fought through the BOer war, he
wrote home, and the last word was
that he had set up in business over
there and would come home soon, but
the promise is not much relied on.
The cares and worries Of those lonely
years have left Mrs. Lenhoff a broken
down constitution, and her anxious old
mother implOres her to rest her mind
and body and cast of the worries that
have afflicted her.
You must not say am proud Of
ny beauty" was Mrs. Lenhof"s warn
ng. You must tell girls it is u vain
hing and not blessing. 1t is too Of
EN- the source of great trouble" DE

ACCEPTS THE CHALLENGE.

TFrom the New York Globe. Repl
He speaks for himself and party, and
there is neither uncertainty nor timid-
ity nor a shadow Of evasion in a single
sentence of his letter. "a party fit to
govern" he says. must have cOnvic-
tions," and he leaves no opportunity
for any one to deny that he has both
convictions and the courage to main
tain them. Whether men agree with
him or not they cannot fail to grasp his
meaning and cannot accuse him Of
shutting or equlvocation.
1t is not in any sense a defensive
document, but rather defiant accept
ance of the Democratic challenge to
show why a change is not desirable.
Every point in the Democratic indict-
ment is met, and many points not men
toned publicly in that indictment are
stated and answered. The Panama ca
nal policy. the coal strike settlement,
the Northern Securities suit, the pen
sion order, are all treated in the same
frank and fearless fashion, though the
Democrats have either not ventured to
mention them at all or have ex-
pressed their disapproval in yelled and
guarded terms.
Those advocates OF Judge Parker
who have been beseeching him to utter
a "clarion note" will find that much
desired thing in the presidents letter.
for it sounds through every part Of it.

How We Bought Our
Christmas Presents
BY ELLERY NYLE

pCopyright, 1904, by c. B. Etherington.]
~OHN and I were married and
went to housekeeping just after
Christmas. John didn't earn
very big wages then, and, al
though our needs were not as many
as they are now, still they were needs
and had to be paid for, SO we decided
to begin in a small way.
We rented only one room, but in Chi
cago the rent for one room was as
much as for a whole house in the lit
tie country village where l came from.
How we did enjoy furnishing that
room! It was a large room, and one
corner of it, where my cupboard and
my oil stove were, I curtained off for
the kitchen, and there was plenty Of
space left for the folding bed and the
few chairs which We had.
Our walls looked bare. I had only
one picture, branch Of lilacs, and
they looked 50 natural you could al
most smell them.
1--WE must buy some pictures.'' said
John.
''Not just yet" said I. "Wait a lit.
tie. We can't get everything at once"
And the next day when John came
home from his work he stopped in the
door in surprise and delight. l had
tackled here and there on the wall clus.
ters Of bright colo-ed autumn leaves
which I had gathered and pressed tho
fall before.
"Don't you think now we can wait
till next year for pictures, JohnY'
asked.
"Why, it's ten times prettier than
pictures, SUSIE" he exclaimed as be
caught me in his arms.
"And it cost only cents for the
tacks," said I.
It is surprising how little can please
us when we have but little. do be-.
neve we enjoyed those bright leaves
better than SIS worth of pictures.
Well, we got along swimmingly. By
thinking little before we bought we
made Johns wages cover everything.
We agreed together that we would not
buy single article till we had the
money to pay for it. Sometimes we
had to go without things we wanted
for several weeks, but waiting for
them made them worth all the more.
After John had gone to his work and
my home tasks were all done l would
sit at my sewing alone and keep think
ing. l kept thinking ahead quite a
way, as far ahead as next Christmas
John and l had never had Christmas
together. There were some things that
wanted to get, and wouldn't it make
merry Christmas if l could get them
then? How could manage it? And
kept on thinking about it day after
day.
John was in the habit Of getting up
early and going to market for me
while I got breakfast, and he would
often bring home twice as much as
knew what to do with
"Why, John. we can't eat all that!
Why did you get so much?' I would
say.
''Oh, 1t looked so good it made me
hungry! Yes, we can eat it all. I'm
as hungry as bear"
One evening I told John that if he
would give me $3.50 a week I would
furnish the table with that and do the
marketing myself.
''Why, it costs us more than that
now, Susie! Three dollars and a half
is only enough for one persons boardr'

Sharp.Shooting.

Capt. Geo. E. Bartlett. representing the Peters Cartridge Co.,. of Cincin- natl, Ohio, gave one of the finest exhi- 0ltlons of craftsmanship "Wednesday afternoon, at the Baseball Park, ever witnessed in this city. The exhibition was to demonstrate the effectiveness of Kings semi-smokeless powder and Peters shells.
 The Captain was aided by II. D Staehl, of Chicago, agent for the Peters shells.
 The hrst work the Captain did was With 5S 3 rifle, using pieces of bricks as targets, scarcely missing any, and ending with penetrating piece of quarter-inch iron with soft nose bullet.
 The next was a trial to show the ceanliness of the semi-smokeless pow der, shooting 2e0 rounds from a 22 rifle which scarcely smutted the gun. He placed the bullets wherever ne wished, using the gun in variety of ways, and showed his expertness by shooting ? shots in 10 seconds, striking the target every time.
 He shot hole in an aluminium pocket piece for MT. Fred Neely. He shot copper cent as it was tossed into the air, and email marbles were broken in the air.
 The exhibition closed with some fancy shots with pump. gun, shooting under can and then hitting it as t arose in the air.
 The captain did some wonderful work with the Marlin pum-gun, when Ee himself throwing the target, hurled a tin can into the air and emptied six shots into the can before it touched the ground. The rapidity of the shots was almost increditabe, and the dis charges were almost simultaneous.
 Captain Bartlett IS a noted Indian lighter, ex- nited States Marshal and scout. He was in the last Sioux war, and while government officer his partner was killed in a fight with Dakota bad men. The captain has travelled the length and breadth of the continent. Everywhere his marvellous skill evokes admiration. His work i: surely splendid advertisement of the ammunition he uses in giving his ex hibtionS.
