WOMEN ALL PEEPED.
Sign "For Men Only" is Sure Way
to Attract the Ladies.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Il witnessed rather interesting scenes,
or 1 should say a series of events, In
front of a certain well-known business
house the other day." said a man who
keeps an eye open for the curious hap
penings of the day, "and 1t presents one
of the interesting phases of the average
womans temperament There was a
large pasteboard funnel placed in the
show window of the business place. The
small end of the funnel was placed to-
ward the street and there was an OPEN
ing just about large enough to accommo-
date the eye. On a plaeard around the
opening was written in bold letters, For
Men only The large end of the funnel
ran back about eighteen inches or two
feet. BY pressing the eye against the
glass of the window at the opening In
the small end you could see what was on
the inside. What was It?
"A shy little woman came along, stop
ped and glanced at the sign She looked
around, up and down the street, and then
started on. But she could not leave with
out glimpsng into the funnel Thinking
she was not watched, she made a bold
dash for the window, pressed the eye
against the glass and behed all there was
to see. Her ears Redeemed somewhat as
she hurried away. from the window.
What had she found in the funnel?
Directly another woman came along.

saw at least dozen women go UP against
the same game, and In each case the
woman seemed to make an effort to keep
from peering into the funnel But they
could not resist the sign. For Men Only
1t was simply another case of the wom-
ans curiosity. The ruse was clever, and
attracted more women than would have
been reached by some duller plan. No,
there was nothing shocking to be seen.
The house was simply exploiting a GER
tain kind of artificial leg. and / guess

MukDEN.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Except as the theatre of the greatest

Its present Great Pure Dynasty" Muk-
den is not a particularly interesting city.
Like Pekin, the old capital of the Man
chus ID walled. it has its miniature Tenn
pie of Heaven and other points of sim
llarity; but all its glories are of the past,
and in the eyes Of the Chinese govern
ment its chief Importance lies In the fact
that 1T Is the guardian of the tomb of
the first great ancestor of the Manchu
Emperors of China. The tomb of Tai
Tsung, son of Nurhachu, and those of his
successors lie not in the city, but hidden
in peaceful groves near by, and to the
Oriental mind they have a sanctity only
to be comprehended by those who have
learned TO know the full significance of
the religion of the Mongolian peoples.
Mukden has, however. an Importance Of
its own as a city of about 25OOOO inhabi-
trading center of the southerhmost of
the three provinces of Manchuria, that
which is by far the best developed In
addition to being the market for the ag-

PRETEND TO MARRY.

From Pearsons Weekly.
In Russia ever woman of the peasant
class marries. or pretends to marry. II
a girl comes to the decision that no one
intends to ask her to marry. she leaves
home. goes TO some distant district and
returns after a time to announce that
she Is a widow, that she went away to be
married. and that her husband has since
died. No embarrassing questions are put
TO her, for among the peasants it is con-
sidered bad form to mention dead man
to his widow
This curious custom goes to show IN
what high regard the women of Russia
look upon the institution of marriage.

LEAD PIPE FOR RAzoRS.
Rubbed on the Leather strop viii
Keep Tools Sharp.

From the Kansas City Journal
The mans own razor was dull. and for
just once he had intrusted his face to a
barber, whose line of talk was instruct

Lead pipe will keep your razor sharp"
said the barber. as he deftly garroted the
man with a steaming towel. Get a
short piece of the smallest. softest lead
pipe your plumber has In stock, and
when you are stropping your razor rub
the pipe on the strop. Apply 1t to the un-
finished side of the strop, rub your razor
on that side. wind up with a few passes
on the finished side, and you will have a
f1rst-class edge on the tool. I don't know

COCKRELL MAY YET
Be GIVEN THE PLACE
SEVERAL REPUBLICANS HAVE
s SAID THEY WOULD VOTE FOR
HIM ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
FRIENDS HAVE STOOD FIRM.

Jefferson City, Mo. March 17.-After
taking five Joint ballots and once de-
feating a motion to dissolve, the Missouri
legislature tonight passed the question of
selecting United States senator over I'M
til tomorrow, the day on which both
branches have agreed to adjourn sine die.
Despite all statements to the contrary,
the democrats remained firm for former
United States Senator Cockrell all through
the ballots taken at the sessions of the
legislature today and tonight. while the
republicans contented themselves with
trying to force the election of one of the
candidates who have been voted ON for
the last week.
Richard F. Kerens, as far as his name
was concerned, was not factor in to-
nights balloting, but his supporters re-
manned united on their selections, which,
however, were not in accord with the
views Of the other factions.
The Niedringhaus men wandered from
one candidate to another. never present
ing a united front for any one man. and
their efforts to effect a compromise which
had been thoroughly threshed over for
the last week or ten days were not re-
garded as sincere by the kerens men,
who claim that sufficient republicans
manned loyal to Niedringhaus to prevent
an election, even though all others voted
for the harmony candidate. Many opin-.
Ions were expressed ;.fter the dissolution
of the joint session to the effect that if
senator is elected tomorrow. it will be
former Senator Cockrell, as many believe
that the republicans demonstrated tonight
that they could not get together on a
candidate for their political faith, and
that the only solution is to return Cock
rell
d. H. Hill, republican speaker of the
House, stated after the joint session that
1t looked like an election of Cockrell to-
morrow. Speaker Hill recently declared
that he would vote for Cockrell on the
last day of the legislature.
