The Holiday.

II. G.. Wells in the London Chronicle.
A holiday should be about $50 miles long
including loops. 1t should last a fortnight,
or but a little over that; a fortnight of fine
weather with full moon about the mid
die of II. and it should be undertaken with
a rucksack and in pair of thick boots
that have been carefully brought to a per-
feet condition. The holiday should be chiefly
among hills or mountains and In beautiful
foreign land and should touch a high road
but rarely. IT should be taken with one
suitably shod and slightly companion who
has capacity for sympathetic silences, or
in the intermittent company of several who
have been chosen and comport themselves
with infinite discretion.
During the day food should be used tenn
perately in small. light portions, but In the
evening the country should produce
worthy dinner with local wine. In the
evenings one should come to kindly little
inns and dine under trees in the twilight
upon trout. such they gave me once at
Amsteg, modest. good entrecote rum ONE
lette and suchlike things. There may be
one or two other visitors at the inn, but
not more, and they may talk Interestingly
There should be no hotels, no lifts no
frumpS' comforts, no sight of hall por-
ter, OF man waiter. OF guide, no distant
intimation of English Church service"
from first to last. Once perhaps at the end
of seven days, IN some pleasant little town
letters should arrive-to be read at a green
table outside cafe-and parcel for the
replenishing of the rucksack.
A holiday is all the better IL an easy
mountain or so without guides) or lake
with boats come in. And holiday has
failed II. after all. the best of it is not the
coming home. Longer holidays. sedentary
holidays. urban holidays, fret and bore me
to death. But something is to be said FOR
the bicycle in Its season.

Distribution of Beauty,
From the Baltimore News.

FROM the Baltimore News.
Having thrown aside her wraps and
furs and donned the light attire which COM
ports with the seaShore, or the short skirt
and blouse which go along with the alpen-
stock of the mountain climber, or appear
ing in the natty garb of the yachtswoman
or else lounGing at ease in a steamer chair
on an outgoing liner. the young American
woman in her annual evolvement as sum-
mer girl is distributed to the four quarters
of the globe.
1t is a merciful provision of Providence
which showers opportunities upon the sex
which is not tied down eight or ten hours
a day during the summer time to the ledger
and day book. But 1t is more than an OPP
portunity; 1t is a process of education of
inspiration and of elevation Were 1t not
that the American sovereign can always
find enough coins juggling in his pantaloons
pocket to give the fair members of his
household loose rein during the summer
months. the world would be denied the rev.
citation of feminine beauty which is brought
to 1t by about every other. If not every,
woman who goes abroad with the stars
and stripes upon her heart
If 1t were not the case that con1oined
with the privilege Of means there is an
innate peregrinatory impulse in the Amerf-
can race. which the gentle sex heroically
assumes to honor in behalf Of both sexes,
American beauty would not be distributed
abroad So widely. Nor would Baltimore
beauty be SO scattered throughout the
states of the Union where nature has not
been concerned that women should be an
ornament well as force 1t is only
when one pauses to consider the value of
the estbetic contributions which America
makes to the world during the summer
son, and which Baltimore makes to the ma
ton and to the world that one realizes
the important place the Baltimore-Ameri-
can type of femininity holds toward the es-
sentiais OF art in this age.

Men and What They Eat.


FROM the Atlantic.
True. vegetarians may be, often are. good
men, but no one will contend that they are
Jolly. For steady compansionship the re-
doubtable feeders are to be preferred
men whom neither roast nor pudding can
iptiaidate.
Who would not choose to hold cheerfui
converse with the matchless eupeptic. Syd-
ney Smith, rather than sit under the gloom
Ing OF the saturnine Carlyle, whose diges-
ton was wrecked by simple porri,ige?
Never was there more efficient stomach
than that of the merry parson the habit

good humor always charmed His brilliant
Wit prevented his elevation 10 a bishopric
but Il made him ever welcome and dom
inant guest at the tables Of the great.
Contrast with this bright spirit the scold-
Ing Carlyle. who disliked eating almos. as
much as he disliked his friends The Diff
ference was chiefly due to their diverse
views of the matter of eating. Lord Hol-
land went SO far to assert that some
men are better and ADLER than others be-
cause they eat more"

Cottonseed "Olive OIL"
ksonville Times-Union.


If 1t weren't for the influence OF name
and a tradition Americans would not send
money abroad for the cottonseed oil manu-
featured at home. But to please the Amer
lean Imagination 1t must go abroad and be
labeled "olive oil'' before they will use It
IN their salads or for the other uses the
alleged olive oil Is put to. II 1t were bought
at home. for one thing. 1t would be too
cheap. 1t is the price of "olIve oil' that
makes 1t dear to the epicure. No tariff laws
can shield US from the imposition put upon
us. for experts cannot detect the difference
between cottonseed oil and olive OIL 1t Is as
serted. One is just as nutritious and tastes
as well as the other when refined. Both
are bland vegetable oils, free from any
harmful effect upon the system. Cottonseed
Is well boiled before the oil is expressed
from 1t. The oil is immeasurably superior
to hogs fat for culinary purposes. It cam
not but be wholesome. while lard can only
be wholesome II the hog was free from dis
ease when killed, and no one can know
that when purchasing lard When cotton
a product superior to most substitutes for
cows butter. Nevertheless great quantities
OF the southern product will continue to be
sent abroad, and Americans will continue
to pay the expense of transportation both
ways and good-sized profit to the foreign
handler In order that he may be fooled.
He likes to be fooled. Even when
he knows that 1t is impossible to
manufacture from pure olives all the
olive oil sold he will not take the hint He
doesn't want to. He Is above the weakness
OF patriotic desire to patronize home prod
ucts. He wants the brand; never mind
what the stun is.

This Is the time Of year when dinner

lay In wait for the moderns at table where
one Is never sure which OF the many curl

course. Such Inventions by the silver
smith were never so numerous as the
spring. 1t Is common for the giver OF a
wedding present to have to explain what
this thing Is for" to the recipient, Some
of the newest table trappings include an
oyster fork that enables the Qualmish to
cut a large oyster in half: new fish

So the woman who can box, really box

BILE in the manly art. is to be feature in
our homes. Or II not in our homes. in the
homes Of others and so more or less part
of our surroundings. Only one woman has
yet they say. attained to such proficiency
in boxing that men who teach the science
admit she is worthy Of their gloves, but
hearing the complimentary things that are
said of her success will set many Of her
sisters to striving for honorable mention.
And those who succeed will find them
selves possessed of an accomplishment
that in various ways may be OF considre-
able value. In the first place, 1t conduces
to good health, and in the second place It
must make woman feel courag eous in
many situations where her sex is COM
monty supposed to be scared almost to
death. Knowing how to box successfully
a woman need not fear visits from tramps
nor encounters with them on lonely roads:
she would be able to control matters at
home and abroad in forcible way that
former generation never dreamed of.

Russell Sage, the Great Money Lender.


From Worlds Work.
The figure OF Russell Sage Is fading out

for Russell Sage observed no holidays ex-
cept Sunday until his body broke down
under the .ssverreaching task set by his
cold, grim hunger for innumerable dollars.
But the pale blue eyes. though they are
keener than the eyes of most men at any
age. have not the quick and eager light
which used to fash into them in response
to the news of a bargain In prospect or
achieved. The scanned gray face has lost
it's power of meeting all appeals for gem
crosby or mercy with complete lack OF ex-
preston; irritation and contempt show
through sometimes; they are signs of the
breaking down of the sternest physical dis
cipline-for no real master Of the game,
whether 1t be played. with pennies, between
newsboys on the curbstone, or with banks

have become a part Of the traditions of his

Resisted the Officer

When Park Policeman Lucien Davis was
arresting Edward Freyor in Seaton Park
yesterday for disorderly conduct, the lat
ter resisted and started his fist in the d.
rection Of the officers face. In warding
OFF the blow the officer received a hard
blow on the hand. Two charges were
therefore, placed against Freyor and he
was arraigned in the Police Court this
morning on both of them. He admitted
the disorosriy conduct, but claimed he did
not bit the officer. Judge Scott was con-
WINGED by the condition of the officers
hand and he ordered that Freyor be con-
fined in the Jail for three months, and in

.CLAPP SARCASTIC.
AS TO PATRONAGE
Senator Says Major scott's Ap-
pointment, if Made, May Fail
in Senate.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Oct. 24.-The confer
encc between Senator Clapp, Secretary
Hitchcock, Indian Commissioner Leupp
and Inspector Mclaughlin yesterday
over the White Earth timber sale was
merely preliminary. Senator Clapp
says he expects to remain here several
days, and hopes to have the matter dis
posed of before he leaves. He has
not given the appointment of Major
Scott's successor as. agent at Leech
Lake any, consideration, and grows sar.
castle in referring to that question.
81 suppose if the secretary Of the in.
terror wants to appoint Major Scott to
that position, he will do so, said the
senator. !" Apparently things are done
in Minnesota without consulting any.
body in the state. We reserve to our.
selves, however, the right to refuse to
confirm the nomination if it is made. .
The order issued by the war depart
ment, retiring Major Scott, did not re
lieve him from his duties as agent al
sLeech Lake, and it is understood here
that he will remain in Minnesota until
his successor is appointed, if civilian
is chosen, in order that he may account
for property in his charge.
