STRATEGY THAT SUCCEEDED
One Way to Get Woman to Take
Her Hat on In o
Theater.

She sailed down the aisle just before the
curtain rose for the matinee, an elegantly
dressed woman of middle age and more,
wearing a broad, black hat with a long
curving feather on It. She took seat in
front of two young women and gave no,
the slightest intimation of removing that
marvellous tower of headgear, relates the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Pardon me, but would you mind re-
moving your hatv
This request apparently made not the
slightest impression on the owner of the
handsome plume, and a few minutes
later the second young woman asked, in
tone somewhat louder than that of her
companions:
Would you please be SO kind as to take
off your hat?"
The offender moved her head slightly,
but otherwise gave no response.
The victims of fashion were silent for a
few minutes and then one of them was
heard to say very distinctly to her friend:
"Oh, we'll, perhaps she is little bald.
That, of course, explains it. Don't think
OF asking her again."
The woman with the hat started, and
before the speaker had finished the Of
tense was removed.

HOLD GROWING CONTESTS.
Poultry Raisers in Belgium Enter
Many Of Their Birds for
Odd Test.

Anyone who has watched chickens In
barnyard or vacant lot will find 1t
easy to believe that they talk to each
other. But just what our feathered
friends mean is more difficult to puzzle
out, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Who can tell exactly what hen means
when she trails around the barnyard
exclaiming at the top of her voice:
MISREPRESENTATION" Maybe
she is tired Of scratching the ground and
is voicing her discomfort, or 1t may mere
ly be an invitation to a tea party in hen
language.
When we look over the ways In which
different nations represent the sound
made when rooster crows 1t seems al
most as II the birds spoke as differently
as their masters. 1t is well understood
that English-speaking ROSTERS say:
"Cock-a-doodle-do!" But Frenchman
will tell you that that is not the way q
cock Sings" but that he sings"
"Cocorico!" when addressing the world,
while to the German the rooster seems
to say: 'Kikiriki'-the is In this word
having the sound Of the English Zee"
And Italiaps maintain with their pleas
ing word-music that the rooster says
something very differently syllabled.
But 1t will be hard to convince any Amer
lean boy or girl that a hen says any
thing but plain "Cut-cut-cut-cutca-
DAH-cut" when she assures waiting
world that she has positively laid an
egg.
OF all the queer contests ever held
one that took place in Belgium prob
ably holds the record The poultry rails
ers in the vicinity of Liege were such
admirers of the music their ROSTERS fur
nish that they decided to hold COM
was the champion Grower.
Many birds entered in the contest.
They were placed in separate cages with
a trustworthy man in charge to keep
count Of the crowings. The trial lasted
one hour and the rooster that crowed the
greatest number of times was judged
the champion, its owner receiving val
uable prize just as the owner Of finely
bred dog wins prizes at dog show.
The winner OF the prize crowed 1874
times, or more than twice a minute.
Anyone who has been neighbor to q
barnyard where lusty rooster begins
his singing" long before daybreak. or
even speaks his piece during the night,
might think this a very poor record in
deed. Perhaps the Liege birds were en-
barrassed by their surroundings and did
not crow as fast as they might in their
own barnyaYds.

Chinese architecture, and the universal

temple doors. There is a temple gate

his health and finally found cure in a
little change in his diet says:

followed another expert from Chicago
who came to our house two times q
month for four months. He gave me
up like all the others and told me to
take q trip across the ocean, which l
did in the year 1899 and came home
about as bad as when I started. The
doctors told me my stomach lining was
full of sores. Then began to study
my own case and learned Of the diet

sons Of Importance.

Capt. Maud, who recently travelled
through Ahyssinia. gives this picture
OF native life: ION our way down the
mountain next day we were invited to
a feast by the fitorari Of the district, who
was up there experimenting the build
ing Of church. Entering his 'tukfe.
We were conducted to settee covered
with skins. Serving women brought US
water to wash our hands and then fat
baskets, on which were high piles Of
thin fiat breads. like the 'chuppaties' Of
the east. The woman cooks brought In
large dishes of stewed meat and, after
tasting each dish to show that 1t was
not poisoned, they picked out tit-bits
and presented them to US on 'chup-
paties.' The whole meal was served
without plates, knives or forks. II is
surprising how easily these necessities
OF our civilization can be dispensed
with. Serving men meantime piled US
with tel the national drink of Abyss
sinia, which is made from honey. Old
tel is very heady, but not unpleasant
In taste. Abyssinians of Importance
never travel without their tel women.
These ladies make the tel in camp and
carry it on the march. The fitorari-a

placed a necklace round the old mans
neck. The attention called from him
the most sincere thanks, to which he
gave expression by blowing fine spray
from his mouth on those round him.
The circle quickly enlarged itself. Our

last impressions should be good that ]

As to the dificulty of getting informa-
ton from the natives Capt. Maud says:
II remember once telling Somali. Fara,
who acted as my interpreter in Mo-
named Hassan's absence. to ask o
Boran some simple question about the
route. After ten minutes conversation
he appeared to be coming to an under
standing with the Boran, SO asked what
