THOSE MISTY BLUE EYES.

J. w. Foley, in New York Times. She sold me a book and 1 do not know
 why; She sold me book I had sworn not to
 buy; I declared up and down I would not even
 look, But broke my resolve and she sold me
 her book. What it was I don't know, and If ever
 1 did I've forgotten. know that somewhere
 it is hid On some dusty high shelf, piled with
 rubbish and stuff, And she sold 1t to me nolens volens-
 enough. She was such a sweet lass-so unwilling
 and shy With wealth of dark hair and a fetch
 ing blue eye. And I drowned upon her with threat
 ening look. But she paid me no heed-only took out
 her book. So she sold me and sold me her book-it
 is well, But here. all alone, for my life can't
 tell If 1t was her sad story could not re-
 sst. Or her eyes that shone wet like two stars
 trough mist.

HOW TO LIGHT ONES HOUSE
Sensitive Structure of the Eye Should
 Be Consulted

From Martha Cutler in Harper's Bazar.
 The first consideration as always in tne furnishings of a house, IS that of utility We want lights that we may see, and that in the way best adapted to the sensi- tive structure of the eye. The delicate retina shrinks instnctively from harsh brilliant light, and from one which strikes mercilessly upon it without shade of soft ening influence of any kind. It requires a steady light, and at the same time strong one but just as we soften the di- rect rays of the sun with shades and drap- cries, and as nature herself seeks to do with foliage and softly drifting clouds. having obtained the strongest and stead1- est light possible we must take It as soothing and agreeable as well.
 Mueh also depends upon where the lights are placed to obtain the most satis- factory results. Every one is conscious of discomfort even on day that IS slightly overcast. in walking when the sun is directly overhead, while the slanting rays dipping over ones shoulder are most agreeable The results are the same iwth artificial lights. If the ceiling is very high and the lights sufficiently shaded to be tnconspicuous. thmey are permissible in a room devoted to entertaining but even under those conditions there should be side lights to focus the attention rather than direct it to the ceiling. which is usually neither beautNul nor interesting.

Anqlo-Iapanese Affairs.

A new treaty between Japan and Great Britain has been negotiated, and has been signed, and possibly will soon be made public. Much interest is taken in the new treaty, because it is reason ably certain that its terms will be broad, joining the two countries in offense and defense, instead of being directed towards one affair, as the present treaty plainly was. Beyond all doubt the new treaty will cover great deal of ground, including Japanese as sistance in case Russia invades India. Such an alliance would render India very secure against attack by Russia, pr by Russia and France.
 The Japanese are very grateful for the help England has been to them in the present war. If the alliance with England hat not existed France would have found some excuse for butting-in, and the Japanese navy was not big enough to whip the navies of Russia and France. England in other words kept the other nations out of the strug- gle. and Japan then proceeded to whip Russia. It gave Japan an opportunity to establish herself as nation, and finely and bravely did she utilize that opportunity. She will yet in some way nunish France and Germany for the parts they took in the combine of 1895.
 The new treaty will no doubt prove a document that will determine the control of the far east and it's publica- tion is awaited with deep interest. It will be made public in due course.

The Stock Market.

Henry Clews in his Wall street letter Of Saturdays date says:
 ''rhe financial situation remains sub stantially that of a week ago, except that despite several additional spectacu- lar advances, such, for instance, as rise to above 125 in Reading, general specula- tive interest has further centered in the iower-priced securities. This is a develop ment that promises to increase as time progresses, many of the old favorite stoeks-market Understanding now reached point where they have become luxuries, available as investments or as speculative bases only to the highly wealthy classes.
 When stocks are selling at, say, 1900 200 and are contributing dividends on a bond basis, the capital requirement for a speculative account Is almost prohibitive from the standpoint of the trader of mod crate means he naturally seeks more conservative and a safer class of securi- ties in which to operate, and during pe- riods of confidence like the present scans the list for securities of value that have not yet felt the speculative impulse. It Is these lower priced stocks that constitute the broadening stock market of today. Within the limits named the weeks trans actions have showii much further expan- sion, and, if no further substantial ad- va4ees, at any ratb no indjdations of sub

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.

also beyond dispute, for Dr. Heber Jones himself swears she was in Mem D. IS on the 14th. The woman herself says she left Memphis on the 18th, arriving in New Orleans at noon of the 16th. On the 17th she became il. and on the 18th her trouble was diagnosed as yellow fever. When she returned to New Orleans. her home, she did not go to or visit an infected district.
 Briefly, these are the plain and prae- tieally undisputable facts in the case of Mrs. Vincent Guercio, who is now eonvalescent at 22o2 Dauphin street in New Orleans.
 After a person has been bitten by the fever mosquito the fever begins to show itself in from three to five days. Dr. Heber Jones swears that Mrs. Guercio was in Memphis on August 14; on August 17 she had yellow fever in New Orleans. The statement of Dr. Jones is not bit conclusive. He does net definitely state when Mrs. Guercio left Memphis. He does not show that she was in New Orleans long enough to. have acquired the fever infection. He is indefinite at all points.
 His sworn certificate, however, hand ed to Mrs. Guercio, is not bit in definite, for in it he swears that she was in Memphis on August IA, and Dr. White is prepared to prove that she had yellow fever in New Orleans on August IT, Dr. Sanders can draw his own conclusions from the two dates, and if he does not act Mayor Ward or the county board of health may have some conclusions of their own to offer and to act upon.

pEFAULTERs' CLUB.
Organized By Men Who Have Be-
 trayed Financial Trusts.
rom the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 Tn Tegucigalpa, city in the central American Republic of Honduras, there is a club of some 100 men who are known as the Nonsuicides. They belong to this club because they should have killed themselves, by all rules of shame, and did not have the nerve to put the finish ing touches to their careers.
 By the Pinlxertons, who are perfectly acquainted with the members of this or ganzation. it is called the defaulters Club Every member of it has at some time betrayed a financial trust, and every state in the union is represented on it's roll and most of the large cities. Elk bank Presidents, County treasures, brok- CTS, agents, municipal offcers-all the responsibilities are there, and the life is a very bitter one in spite of the money, the wine and the gayety
 Among those who move and have their being as members of this club is w. R, Vice-"Bllly" as he was known when he was the agent in San Francisco of the Union Pacific. Billy stole SS,O00 and de- camped with 1t in April 1903. Then there's It's last accession. Allan Howard, the broker who left his wife and all the friends who trusted him and fled with $60,000 only a month ago.
 Texas is represented by Seth Tracy, who left Houston with $50, GOO; New York is honored by having the former mayor of Little Falls there; there's G. H. Tripp, of Hartford, rated in the Bradstreet or crookedness as worth $50,000; Frank H. Brown, of Kentucky, is there with $2SO' 900 of a banks money; F. F. Webb, fla nous bank forger is also there, and the list would go down to the lowest crim- inal or the most insignificant, weak and foolish man whom a moments tempa- ton had Tipped into the fear of punish ment and exile.
 There is no extraditon from Honduras for such crimes Teguclgalpa is tho Lest town of it's sort. That is why 1t hts be- come the last stand of these fuf Fes from law and the fear of self destruction.
 Money enough, of course there is These men who have slipped away on night trains and fruit steamers did not go empty handed. A tropical climate does not necessitate much expense, ser wants are cheap, and all these creatures of passion and avrice and sin live in sort of luxury that makes honest folk occasionally give voice to envy But the iudgement of those who know Honduras and know this colony is, after all, the truest Billy Vice and Seth Tracy and the rest may lounge on the veranda or their clubhouse. Vice in the uniform or the chief of police. Servants may wait on them. and fine wines and choice cigars may make the hours pleasant But these who know the inside shrug their should CTS and pass on with the assertion that these are all men afraid to die"
 Once in while they do die-sometimes very suddenly and not according to Hoyle. But usually man once there with his stealings simply keeps out of the sun drinks his liquor and plays his games and goes by himself only when he has to.

The Orphans Home.

Not only is the orphans home at East Lake admirably conducted but the salu- brity of the place is remarkable, said friend of the institution. "The home was established about two years ago and although between eighty and ninety ehil- dren are cared for there. not single death has occurred and not single case of serious sickness has been reported. The medicine chest is seldom opened.
 'The location of the home-high and dry on hill-could not be improved upon. It will always be a healthy place. An et- fort will soon be made to raise funs sui ficient to finish and furnish the third story of the building, or at least DOT ton of the third story. Enlarged capa- city is needed. Applicants are being re- iected every day because the home has as many children as can now be accom- modated With the entire third floor iin- ished about 15O orphans could be cared for.

Thrivinq Suburban Section.


 Possibly there is no other suburban section near the city that is being more rqpidly developed than that along the south Ensley car line from Crews station to #IIill Ton said a gentleman who rides over this line several times each week.
 within the last two weeks work on dozen or more handsome residences has been begun in that section. number of business houses are also being built perhaps on account of the State Fair which is located on the opposite side of the ear line.
 ..This is d very choice resident section and many people who have business ih town are purchasing and building homes il this locality.
 Most of the residences being built are handsome and substantial, and 1 under stand that many more are to be erected in the near future. There is talk of having the section incorporated for the purpose of securing some of the conveniences en- ioyed in the city, such as water and sewerage system. It Is estimated that thre are at present about 1000 people in that suburb.
 Palmer Terrace and Tuxedo Park, just across the mountain and inside the cor porate limits of Ensley, are being rapidly improved by the erection of handsome residences. The Tuxedo branch of the electric car line is being extended. open ing up very fine section which will be built up at once"

No Fever There.

..The report emanating from New or leans to the effect that there is yellow fever in Memphis is absurd on it's taee' said R. c. BloclSton of Memphis at the Morris Saturday night. Without ehal- lenge this report would be set down as unbelievable and the clear statement or MT. Heher Jones, president of the Ten nessee state board of health, was hardly necessary in order to expose 1t as pre- posterous. A woman found sick of yellow fever in an infected district, having con- fessedly been there nine days, Is not to be presumed to have contracted the dis ease in a non-infected district which she previously had visited. The Memphis board of health has been keeping strict watch. Every case of fever, of whatever description, is investigated. There has been no yellow fever in Memphis, and am willing to make an affidavit to that effect. How. then, could the New Or leans woman have contracted yellow fever in Memphis? After this woman came to Memphis she was kept under surveillance ten days and left the city we'll Birmingham people need have no fear in visiting Memphis

ANSWERS SATISFACTORY.

From the Borton Herald
 A bright, stalwart young man who hau just graduated from medical college ap- piled for examination to enter the united States navy. He was directed to appear before a medical board composed Of old naval surgeons.
 After a careful and lengthy examina- ton the president of the board asked rather abruptly: Doctor, suppose you were called to see man who had been blown up, what is the first thing you would do?"
 With emphasis he replied; Wait till he came down, sir
 The old surgeon looked at him keenly and continued: Suppose, for your im- pertinent answer, should kick you; what muscles would I bring into play?'
 '.The fiexors and extensors of my arm, for I should knock you down."
 .'Youll pass said the old surgeon.

He called it "The Bank of North America When Ade went out into the wilds of Chicago to seek his fortune he had to borrow some money from his parents. After a time one of his plays succeeded ana the father sur repdtiously went to see it. Finally Ade returned to the parental mansion. and. after supper, took a roll of bills from his pocket and proudly announced his inten- ton of repaying the loan. The old gentle man looked at the bills q moment, and then said, George, how did you get that money?" From my plays, of course" well" slowly said the father. you can keep it. I don want it."

TAKAHIRA PLAYS WITH CHILD

Portsmouth, August 27. = Lieutenant Commander Takahira's adopted family of two little girls has grown into a whole seminary. He sat one night recent ly with every child in the hotel arranged before him on two settees. They varied in size from a little girl of three to a boy who wore his first dinner coat for the season.
 Takahira was on the floor before them, showing them how to play some marvel ous Japanese games with checkers and sticks of wood
 Something made him turn around 10 find half the hotel watching him. As he strengthened up, Takahira came as near bushing as he can come
