Peace After the Battle.

The wife of q well-known Western Senator is a Southern woman who was married to the Senator late in life. While still young girl she left her native State and came North to live; but from time to time she would re- visit her old home.
 On one of these occasions shortly be- fore her marriage she happened to meet the old colored nanny" who had been her nurse, and who was vast. ly surprised to find that Miss Mary" still was unwedded.
 'Lan', Miss May" she exclaimed "ain't yo married yit?'
 "No, not yet, Aunt Sally" was the answer.
 My, my! Who'd a-thought it? An yit," she unused, determined to soften this disgrace, "aftah all, dey does say dat ol' maids has de happies life; dat is, aftah dey quits strugglin.'"

A Pointer on Personal Beauty.

There is a saying that Every time sheep bleats, it loses a mouthful of hay" Every time a woman worries and takes on marks of age.
 If your servant scorches the soup or overcooks the meat, never mind. You cannot afford to worry about it, and If you scold her, you may make up your mind to lose some of your beauty to let go some of your magnetism.
 If the members of the family are habitually late, try to remedy it, but don't worry about it. If you do, you will grow older in the process.
 If your husband or children do things which do not please you, do not nag at them. This will only az gravGte the evil you complain of, and 1t will cost you some of their love and respect. Every time you nag you will lose a little of your power to charm and attract them to you.
 If the cleaners spoil your favorlte dress, don't get angry about it. An outbreak of hot temper will take away much more of your attractiveness than your dress could supply.
 If you lose your pocketbook, don't worry about it. Worrying will not bring it back. but it will take out of your face and disposition that which money can never replace.
 If you meet with bitter disappoint- ment. don't fret, don't cry over it. If you do. you pay penalty which you can i'll afford. No woman can fret and nag and worry, and keep away the marks of age-or retain her beauty and power to please.-Success Maga- zine.

ARABS HOLD FRENCH NOBLE.
Marquis of Segonzac Captured on Trip
 in Atlas Mountains.

The marquis of Segonzac has been taken prisoner in the south of Morocco after making an exploring trip, the accounts of which read like romance.
 The mountainous parts of Morocco are closed to foreigners, says the Bos- ton Globe; in fact, the authority of the sultan is hardly recognized except where backed up by an army. The tribes of this wild region have always maintained at least semi-independence
 This young French nobleman had al ready spent several years in African explorations disguised at different times as a beggar, servant and a pill grim. Just what disguise he assum. ed on this trip is not stated by L'Illus- tration, from which these facts are taken.
 His party included only one French. man besides himself, M. Roqueraire, who had charge of the mapmaking. Prof. Boulifa, of the school of letters at Algiers, went as Berber interpreter and Abd el Aziz Zenagui, professor at the school of oriental languages at Paris, as Arab interpreter.
 The party began it's trip at Marra- kech Dec. 30 and by Feb. 4 had tray ersed the almost unknown region of the Atlas mountains, climbing Aiachi, which has height of 4,200 meters, or nearly 14,000 feet.
 The little party then broke up and the explorer himself turned to the south and was in few days made prisoner by Mohammend ben Tabia, sheik of the tribe of Sektana. For tunately the other members of his party had with them the records, maps and photographs; negotiations are now under way to secure his release.

DUELS ON THE STAGE.
Actors of the Past Who Became Pro-
 ficient us Fencers.

ficient us Fencers. On the stage combats have always been popular with theatrical audience especially in the old days, when the young actor made a point of acquir- ing mastery of the art of fencing, as an absolutely indispensable step in his professional education, says the Pitts burg Gazette. The elder Charles Mathews tells us in his autobiography of his passion for fencing, which noth- ing could overcome. As an amateur he paid the manager of Richmond Theater, upon one occasion, seven guineas and half for permission to take the inferior, insipid part of Rich mond, the Richard being one Litch- field, another equally enthusiastic amateur.
 q cared for nothing" wrote Ma thews, except the last scene of Rich mond, but in that I was determined to have my full swing of carte and tierce. had no notion of paying my seven guineas and half without in- dulging my passion. In vain did the tyrant try to die after a decent time; in vain did he give indications of ex- haustion; I would not allow him to give in. I drove him by main force from any position convenient for his last dying speech. The audience laughed; I needed them not They shouted; I was deaf. Had they hoot- ed I should have lunged on in my un- consciousness of their Interruption. I was resolved to show them all my ac- complishments.
 "Litchfield frequently whispered Enough! but thought with Macbeth, Damned be he who first cries, Hold! Enough! I kept him at it and I be- lieve we fought almost literally long hour by Shrewsbury block. To add to the merriment, a mattero fact fel- low in the gallery, who in his inno- cence took everything for reality, and who was completely wrapt up and lost by the very cunning of the scene, at last shouted out: why don't he shoot himY"
 Kean was a very fine fencer. hav- ing acquired the art under the tuition of Angelo, the noted maitre d'armes The story is told of country actor playing Laertes to his Hamlet and in- quiring "Where shall hit you. Mr. Kean?" and receiving the grim reply, | Where you can, sir"
 Dutton Cook in his Book of the Play" tells an American stage anec- dote of an English melodramatic actor with the pseudonym of Bill Shipton, who, enacting a British officer in the Early Life of Washington" got so stupidly intoxicated that when Miss Cuff, who played the youthful hero, had to fight and kill him in q duel, Bill Shipton wouldn't die; he even said loudly on the stage that he wouldn't.
 Mary Cuff fought on until she was ready to faint and after she had re- peated his cue for dying, which was, "Cowardly, hired assassin! for the fourteenth time, he absolutely jumped off the stage not even pretending to be on the point of death. Our indig- nant citizens then chased him all over the house and he only escaped by jumping into the coffin which they bring on ip "Hamlet," Romeo" and "Richard."

hundred ranchers Of the Westminster

ton to President Roosevelt asking for
