WlTTE LOVED BROOKLYN MAID.
Russian Peace Envoy Lost His Heart
to Little Miss BaWo,

News has reached Brooklyn that M.
White, the Russian peace envoy, whose
triumph at Portsmouth did much to
redeem the cars prestige, lost his
heart on the trip across the Atlantic
to very fair little daughter of Brook
Ign, according to the New York World.
NJ. White sailed some weeks ago on the
Kaiser Wilhelm II. Among his fellow
passengers we're Carl Bawo of PA Sth
avenue, Brooklyn, and Mr.. Bawo's fam
lily. The youngest of this family was
Miss Aneita Bawo, a pretty brown
eyed girl of summers, and it was
with Miss Aneita that the big Russian
diplomat fell in love.
He began to pay attention to the
wee Brooklynite Immediately after the
ship left the Narrows, and one of the
sights that amused the passengers was
the big bearded representative of the
car and the tiny maiden from Brook
Ign romping up and down the deck.
The delights of the smoking room had
no charm for NJ. White while Miss
Aneita was out of her berth.
Mr. Bawo, who is a wealthy bric-a-
brac importer and manufacturer, and
is combining with a pleasure trip
through Europe the business of in
specting his factories in Germany,
stopped at Bremen and there NJ. White
parted from his little American sweet
heart.
His parting gift was very pretty

slight burrows. Or rub chalk of pow
der over them, and they will be out
lined in white.
It is said that no two persons have
these markings exactly alike, and al
so that the markings remain the same
through life in each individual. You
may test this by taking a print OF
YOUR own. Spread some ink thinly
over a piece of glass or paper. When
the ink is nearly dry, press the fingers
on it lightly, and then on piece OF
clean white paper. A few trials VIII
give you some very good prints.
Another way of taking the print is
TO drop a little heated sealing wax
on paper. and before it hardens to
wet the finger, so as not to burn 1t
and press it on the wax. The i'm
print of all the lines will be clearly
marked or sealed in the wax.

Do you know that the custom of lift

chivalry? Knights then never appeared
in public without their full armor.
When they entered an assemblage of
friends they removed their helmets.

Tricks With the Hand.

Hold your hand in horizontal po-
sition, palm downward Place a
piece of paper about two inches
square, directly under and against
the crack between the first and mid
die fingers and blow through that
crack Instead of flying away, the
piece of paper will cling to your hand
without support. This is because the
current of air carries away some, and
the force of the outside air pressing
on the paper makes it stick to the
hand.
Press the finger tips of one hand
torcibly against those of the other
hand and open and shut the hands
slightly. Shut your eyes and do this
several times. and the feeling will be
such that you can easily believe you
are holding coins between the finger
tips
Hook the fingers of each hand. hold
ing them far apart, and shake the
hands swiftly, freely, and forcibly
from the wrist for several seconds
The air currents between the fingers
will give a sensation as II the hands
we're full of cotton of some woolly
substance.

fingers near the tips. You will SEE

A Name for the Park.

DIR. kincaid's suggestion that Olym-
pia's park be named for Gov. Mead,
might have come with better grace
from somebody whose family had not
been recognized" by q fat appoint
ment on the Board of Control. The
Governor, wo think, has received
enough manifestations of respect from
our people to realize that he is held
in high regard, without naming babies
or parks after him. If the reason
urged, that veto of the capital bill is
worthy of this distinction, it seems to
us that the man who selected Olym-
pia for the capital, the gallant Stevens,
who died on the bloody field OF Chan
lilly, should have some recognition
from our city.
But then, We do not wish that any
invidiOus comparisons be presented, in
a matter which has, so far, been ac-
tuated by perfect harmony, but we
deprecate any attempt to pay personal
obligations incurred, or any act which
may impel the belief that it has been
suggested by possible public benefits
to come, at time when motives may
be misconstrued. The public canno,
all look through Olympian eyes, nor is
its judgment so much at variance with
common sense as to be unable to dis.
tinguish the difference between cor.
dial respect, or dignified reverence, and
the complacent laudations OF people
who happen to have been sitting in
the right place when the tree was
shaken.
The name Mission Park, already
suggested by somebody, seems to be
an appropriate name that will always
serve the purpose of recalling its his
toric origin and sanctify it with the
good work done by the Oblate fathers
in retaining the wilderness.

Large Purchase OF Timber Lands.

The Mason County Logging CO.
have bought timber lands in the
Black Hills, amounting in value to
$500. 900, which ends long legal con-
test and gives assurance of the employ
ment Of several hundred timbermen
for many years, all of which labor will
be tributary to the trade Of our city.
The trouble originated over the pos.
session of lands by the Mason County
corporation which were closed in by
the larger holdings of the Tacoma
company, Several years ago, the
former ATTEMPTED to condemn a right
of way out to market. The matter
was carried to the Supreme Court,
which denied the power of eminent
domain and that the company could
not therefore condemn property for a
passage way. The Mason county COM
pany then organized railroad COM
panv, which class OF corporations may
condemn lands as common carriers.
Then The Tacoma people obtained q
transfer to the Federal Court. by alleg-
ing that the railroad company was "a
foreign corporation. Judge Hanford
issued an injunction, and the U. 5.
Court OF Appeals overruled it. The
case was then taken to the U. 5. Su-
preme Court on a writ Of certiorari
which it is still pending. The pur'
chase OF the lands ends the controversy
80 far as these litigants arc concerned.

RAILROAD TELEGRAPHERs' STRIKE
And now it is the railroad telegraph.
ers who are on strike. President H.
B. Perham, of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers, issued on the LIST strike
order to the operators OF tho Great
Northern and Northern Pacific Rail.
ways. The contention arose over q
demand for increase of wages. The
claim was that the schedule rates were
reduced during the hard times few
years ago, and have never been re-
stored, although the cost of living has
increased from 20 to 80 per cent. 1t
was when negotiations, which had
been pending for some time, came to an
abrupt close and the union force was
notified that they might accept pres
ent rates or leave the service, that a
strike was ordered. It was simply a
matter Of over-work and under-pay.
General Manager Horn, of the North.
ern Pacific, thinks that this is not
the real cause, but that it is owing to
the Vaccinations of discharged en-
ploye, who has persistently stirred up
discomfort among railroad operators.
The matter, he thinks, will soon be
adjusted. 1t is claimed that q modern
railroad may be operated with safety
with an operator stationed every fifty
miles, and as both railroads have tele.
phone as we'll as telegraph systems
there will not be much confusion in
operation of trains.
