Henry James stirs Chicago Society.

THE most astonishing thing which have
noted on my return to America is the ire
mendous display of wealth The next most
astonishing thing is the lack Of anything
back of it." This criticism Henry James is
quoted as having made during his recent
visit to Chicago.
Chicago society is somewhat excited over
the novelist's comment and when he re-
turns in July. as now planned, he may find
a chilliness in the social atmosphere.
One of Mr.. James criticisms, in particu-
lar, left an unfriendly feeling among the
younger women of the fashionable set He
is said to have remarked: 1.-The American
girl Is attractive, but she lacks elusiveness' y
1t is reported at Chicago that Mr.. James
may find the American girl decidedly elusive
when he comes back to deliver series Of
lectures at the University OF Chicago.

FEMININE ST. PATRICK.
Cattle Queen of Lower Texas Has Been Rewarding Peons for
 Killing Snakes.

Through the efforts of a modern St Patrick of feminine gender the lower Texas counties which have been over run with rattlesnakes are in a fair way to be rid of these pests.
 Mrs King, owner of the King ranch of .o0o. 900 or more acres, and widely known as the Texas cattle queen. ' decided some months ago that the Tat tlesnakes on ner place should be scotehed.
 She posted an offer for all the rattles of the deadly serpents that should be brought to iier The first offer was five cents per rattle. Peons and oth- CTS of the section went into the snake business on an extensive scale. With in two weeks Mrs. King had received and paid for more than 10000 rattles. The bounty was then reduced l. three cents rattle. After few more weeks d total of 9S 000 had been reached. and the bin in which the sattles were kept was enlarged so as to include the whole interior of an outbuilding.
 The price took another tumble, sink ing to two cents a rattle bur still il proved great business. Rattles were

IF RUSSIA INVADED INDIA.
Would Meet with. Vigorous oppcsi- tion at the Hands of the
 Afghans.

Much has been heard of late regarding the possibility of Russian invasion of India and as most people know. this is a matter in which Afghanistan would play a very prominent part. says Lon don paper.
 The Afghans would of course strong ly resist any attempt to invade India through their country; not so much per haps out of friendship for Great Britain as from fixed determination not to sub init to the domination of any other race.
 Fierce and numerous as they are. the Afghans have been twice conquered by the British. but the task of holding the country was so great that our govern ment found il wise policy To leave the Afghans independent. merely entering into an agreement with the ameer that he should have no treaties with any power but the government Of India. In return. large annual subsidy has been paid him. every penny of which. it Is said. has been spent on equipping the Afghan army. which now numbers over 200.00 men, armed with all the latest rifles and artillery.
