The EnYiOus Woman.

The train had pulled out Of the ter
minal, and the conductor was on his
fare collecting tour. In one car there
sat alone a woman dressed in deep
mourning, her heavy veil having been
lifted to allow breath of air. When
the conductor approached her the wo-
man burst into tears
AS she cried as If her heart would
burst the conductor asked her what
was the matter She sobbed this reply:
'"Ten years ago 1 took my first husband
over this road to be cremated, five
years ago / took my second husband
on the same trip to the crematory, and
now I am taking my third husband to
be condemned to ashes"
Just then there were loud sobs heard
coming from seat on the opposite
side of the car. The conductor turned
and saw another woman crying. APP
preaching softly, he asked the weeping
one, What is the matter, madam"
Taking her handkerchief from her
eyes, the second in tears answered,
"That woman has husbands to burn
while 1 can't get even one. "-Philadel-

substitutes For Tobacco.

Sailors on long cruises sometimes
exhaust their tobacco Thence untold
misery and many ingenious efforts to
create a tobacco substitute. Tea and
coffee make the best tobacco subst1-
tutes. They smoke freely in pipe or
cigarettes, and their taste and aroma
are not unpleasant. But they burn the
mouth and rack the nerves. Rope yarn
the UNFINISHED parts of rope and oak
um-is smoked by sailors as a last re-
sort. Bark, peeled from the hoops of
salt beef and pork barrels, is also
smoked when the limit is reached.
These things smoke abominably, and
the black fumes that they give forth
from the sailors mouths are always
accompanied by oaths and impreca-
tons Yet many a desperate sailor
has smoked them in the hope of ap-
peasing his tobacco hunger.

Chotohaxree at the Gymkhana.

In Modern India the author, Will

ing with the word gymkhana and
ventures to say that nobody who has
not been in India can guess what that
MEANS
And If you want another conundrum,
what is chotohazree? 1t is customary
for smart people to have their choto-
hazree at the gymkhana, and l think
you would be pleased to join them aft
er taking the beautiful drive which
leads to the place. Nobody knows
where the word was derived from, but
it is used to describe a country club
a bungalow hidden under beautiful
grove on the brow Of cliff that over
hangs the bay-with all of the appurte-
nances, golf links, cricket grounds,
racket courts and indoor gymnasium,
and everybody stops there on an after
noon drive to have chotohazree, which
is the local term for afternoon tea and
for early morning coffee.

Prairie-du-C Wis, Nov. 10. -
Three hundred men, women and chill
dren searched the woods, fields and
valleys for miles around the scene of
the kidnapping of 17-year-old Agnes
Ffifer, at Ryder school house, four
days ago. She has not been found,
nor has a single clue AS to her where
abouts been discovered. The police
believe that anonymous letters said to
reveal her whereabouts are bogus.
The team which the kidnapers used
is said to have been found hitched in
a dense thickest a few miles out IF
this city, but this has not been con-
tirmed. The theory of murder is not
given credence, and people who are
acquainted with the pretty lass be-
lieve that she is held for ransom. the
amount of which will be made known
in few days.
Prairie du CHEN, Wis, Nov. A.
Officers believe they have located
Agnes Pfifer, the girl who SO mysteri

school house last Thursday. District
Attorney w. r. Graves has turned all
his information over to Charles Kheim,
guardian of the girl and expects HIM
to locate the girl today, when she will
be brought to this city.
Whether the girl was kidnapped or
played sham when she was taken
away by the men in a buggy was not
communicated to the district attorney,
who now believes that the letters re-
ceived by himself and the judge are
bona fide and that the girl is in hiding

near Steuben, Wis.

st. Maurice, in Switzerland, is the
name of little station on the railway
that leads up the RhOne valley from
the lake of Geneva. The place gets it's
name as follows: Maurice was the off
Ger second in command of the Thebaic
legion, which the Emperor Maximian
marched over the Alps in A. d. 302 to
quell a rising in Gaul. At Octodurun
(Martigny) the legion, every man of
which was a Christian, was ordered to
sacrifice to the Roman gods for the
success Of the expedition. Headed by
Maurice, they refused, marched off to
Agaunum (St' Maurice) and there were
twice decimated to enforce submission.
But they still refused, and finally the
remainder were surrounded and cut
down by the rest of the army.

To Waterproof Canvas.

Scientific American gives this recipe
for waterproofing for canvas: Soft soap
dissolved in hot water and a solution
of iron sulphate added The sulphuric
acid combines with the potash of the
soap and the iron oxide is precipitated

soap. This is washed and dried and
mixed with linseed oil.
