Madam
The lady waiting the car at the
crossing turned in surprise. Her es-
cort. not understanding If she knew
the one WAC addressed her, simply
looked at the man.
He might have been fifty years of
age, but there was something in his
face that for the moment made him
look almost youthful; a flush along
the cheek, as Of boys blood, and an
eager look in the eye that almost made
it dance and glow. He was we'll enough
dressed-but taere was neither osten-
tation nor scrupulous care. His hat
was in the right hand.
i ask a thousand pardons, madam,
for thus addressing a total stranger" "
So he was not an acquaintance. The
escort understood exactly what to do
now. He had dealt with impertinence
before
you insolant-" he began.
But the lady a moment ago frigid,
seemed to wave min aside somehow
by her manner and to be disposed now
to hear the stranger
"You addressed me, sir?" she said.
Il again ask your pardon" he re-
piled in a voice that quite treasured
her "But l should esteem it great
favor if you would tell me the kind
of perfume on your handkerchief"
The escort started, astounded. The
lady answered courteously:
There is one drop of crabapple
blossom extract on my handkerchief. "
A thousand tlanks!" he replied,
and was gone.
MAD as a March hare!" exclaimed
her escort, bringing himself together.
Perhaps So" replied the lady, and
yet"
For many months she suffered in
secret for not having asked why he
wished to know. An, that curiosity
of women! Like to nothing else in
the world except the curiosity OF
men!

For the next half hour they dis
cussed this strange falling of domes-

further details.
The rumor spread, and friends heard

himself away. One, feeling genuine
interest in him, came to see him at
his room, the first time in twenty
years. His knock was promptly an
swered, and his hand was pressed
warmly.
There was delicate perfume in
the room, as of a woman's presence,
and in the CRATE fire burned brightly.
Next to the table was comfortable
armchair, and on it a little vial, that,
without reason, caught the visitors
eye.
He voiced his surprise:
"Old man, I never saw you looking
better! Your face is fresh, and you
have more contented air than
usual"
They had been good friends since
boyhood The visitor therefore knew
the little romance his friend had
borne locked in his bosom for twenty
odd years-the explanation Of his
bachelor hood, his solitariness, his
aloofness from many old associates.
ooh, I'm feeling very well, thank
you, old fellow" the host answered,

The right arm Of the guest rested
on the table at his side. The fingers
idly tapping touched something. 1t
was the little glass vial. He glanced
at it curiously.
Hello! Essences, . he said. Didn't
know you were fond of perfumes"
The other laughed a little consuain-
ed laugh and then replied, half quiz
zically, half. seriously:
"Do you call that mere vial Of
perfume? My friend, you are ignorant

Position Much Preferable to That of
a Maid Of All Work.

A writer in the Independent upsets
the general notion that the lot OF
washerwoman, like that of the police
man in the Pirates of Penzance, IS
mot happy one"
According to this writer, who does
not give her name on account OF a
desire to keep the nature of her profit
able calling from her friends, the po-
sition of washerwoman IS in every
way preferable to that Of maid OF all
work. After telling of her bitter ex
periences as a servant, and Of her ac-
ceptance of an offer to do washing
and ironing, she says:
81 am working steadily now and
do not find it so very disagreeable. |
do not enjoy washing, but nearly all
of my work is ironing, and | take
considerable pleasure in it, now that
I have time to do it well. In
bad weather we are sometimes forced
to work on Saturday, either one or
both of us, but l have lost only two
DAYS in this way = $ My hands
are not as pretty as they used to be,
but keep them in fair condition by
wearing gloves whenever I step out
Of doors, and also at night.
In addition we learn LAT she gets
$3.50 a day and board, and that she
works only five days week, enabling
her to board at a good boarding house
where she has the use Of a piano. And
the rest of the boarders think she
teaches school, for the reason that
she does not work Saturdays or Sun
days. This last the writer dwells
upon as if it were the finest recon-
mendation of all-tha fact that the
knowledge that she IL 'washerwo-
man" can be kept from her friends.
But doubtless the writer who des-
cants so g.owingly on Yer success in
this line of work has not attained to
such heights as she imagines. Her
false pride, in permitting her friends
to go on thinking she il a teacher
instead Of a washerwoman, will al
ways stand in her way. MO person
has ever achieved real success IN
work of which he or she is ashamed
and no person can be a really first

Then for a while they discussed
this faculty of the senses for treasur-
ing up Impressions, retaining them
while the mind has apparently lost al
trace of the circumstances with which
the sensual impression is connected;
and the strange way in which the
memory Of the sense, once awakened
sets to vibrating the minds memory

themselves in the mind with the cor

Liberals Deeply Disappointed

peror Nicholas manifesto, entirely re-
iterating Russia's aspirations in the
far east and appealing to the loyalty

when he was governor of New York,

"The president does not need any les

President Jordan and Timothy Hop
kins Will Bring Back Remains
Special to The Herald
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March
3.-President Jordan and Timothy Hop
kins of Menlo Park, representatives of
the board of trustees, will sail tomor-
row for Honolulu. 1t was the per-
sonal request of Charles G. Lathrop,
Mrs. Stanfords brother, that DR.. Jor-
dan be sent after the remains, and
with Mr.. Hopkins, as representatives
of the board of trustees, they will rep
resent the estate. Jordan and Hopkins
sail on the steamship Alameda, due to
arrive in Honolulu March g..
In case of delay the steam
ship company has ordered the
return boat China to wait for Jordan
and the remains. 1t was announced on
good authority that Jordan had an
other purpose in making the trip, but
Jordan's secretary emphatically denies
this and says the sole purpose is to
bring the body home.
1t now develops beyond all question
that the bicarbonate of soda which
Mrs. Stanford took on the night of her
death was purchased in Palo, Alto. W.
E. Jackson, head clerk in the Stan
ford pharmacy in University avenue,
said that he sold Mrs. Stanford and
Miss Bertha Berner, the secretary,
three ounces Of bicarbonate of soda on
February 6, just nine days before she
sailed for Honolulu. Jackson said:
Mrs. Stanford came into the store
on February and after purchasing a
number of toilet articles asked for
some bicarbonate of soda. I started to
wrap up three ounces in a package
when Mrs. Stanford said: Have you
bottle with large mouth so l can put
a spoon in it?' Miss Berner then spoke
up saying, Never mind about that, we
have a bottle at home that we always
use for bicarbonate of soda So 1
accordingly wrapped up the soda and
then put all the articles into one bun
die which 1 handed to Miss Berner.
There was no chance for strychnine
to become mixed with the bicarbonate
of soda in the drug store, for they are
kept several feet apart on the shelves.
We have sold no strychnine for several
months"

DEMANDS cURTLY REFUSED
Workmen Told Not to Discuss Pollt-
Ica Conditions
BY Associated Press

| BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, March 3.-As
expected the answer to most of the
political conditions imposed by the
workingmen who met yesterday at the
Peoples palace as preliminary to elect
ing fifty of their number to serve on
the mixed commission of employers
and employees was a decided negative
and, unless the workmen rescind, the
proposed Joint investigation of the
grievances of the employees and rene
dial measures is doomed.
Senator Schidlovsky, who was to pre-
side over the commission, in his reply
today, which was printed and placard-
ed on the doors of the various meeting
places and public places, drew a sharp
distinction between economic and
purely political conditions. He met the
men half way in regard to the former
and gave a pledge that representatives
would be immune from arrest or mo-
lestation on account of speeches or
demands, so long as they confine them
selves to industrial conditions.
"As for the other demands" he con-
tinued, they go far beyond the COM
potency of the commission in the task
committed to it by his majesty and
require no answer on my part"
In conclusion, the workmen who
found the doors of the general meeting
place closed to them were invited to
meet this afternoon by sections, ac-
cording to the nature of the industry
in which they are engaged, for the
election of members to serve on the
commission originally contemplated.
The neighborhood was full Of police,
large numbers of whom were hidden in
courts, doorways, alleys and buildings
in the vicinity. The workmen stood
about in the snow, discussing the stu
alton quietly among themselves. They
finally decided to hold sectional meet
ings this afternoon to decide on the
measures to be adopted before pro-
claiming a general strike, and then
dispersed.

STATEHOOD BILL
VIRTUALLY DEAD
OKLAHOMA PEOPLE GREATLY
DISAPPOINTED
House and Senate Agree on River and
Harbor Bill, and other Appro-
priation Measures Are
Passed
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
WASHINGTON, d. c., March g.
An agreement between house and sem
ate on the bitterly fought items in the
river and harbor bill was reached late
tonight and that bill is now out of
danger. This is the last of the se-
rious disputes between the two houses.
The statehood bill has hardly been
in dispute today, no serious attempt
having been made to get the conferees
together as it was felt to be useless.
No attempt will be made in the morn
ing and the bill is dead for the ses-
sion.
The Arizona people here are as a
rule Indifferent to the situation, the
Indignation coming from New Mexico,
Oklahoma and Indian Territory con-
tingent. The Oklahoma people are es-
pecially bitter as their hopes of get
ting statehood without regard to New
Mexico and Arizona have been high
within the last few days. They re-
fused to believe both houses would not
consent to admit their territory with
Indian Territory.
The house agreed to conference re-
ports on the Indian appropriation
bill, which finally passed the measure.
The conference report on the postof-
flee appropriation bill was also agreed
to after brief debate, thereby finally
passing it.
