friendship is the luck trinket of very
attractive young matron of national re-
nown. Five years ago in reply to her
wedding invitation came tiny white
kid box from well-known jeweler. 1t
contained two beautiful fancy gold
stock pins, each perfect imitation
of peacock feather. The card en-
closed bore the name of girl with
whom she had the very slightest &C.
quaintance, but whom she knew to
have a liking for her future husband
Undaunted, the bride-to-be immedi-
ately pinned one of these unlucky
feathers on her dress, and from that
day to this she has never been with
out one of the other of them fastened
somewhere about her costume. Not

At recent dinner at the White
House, the following story, was told
by one Of the guests on Secretary
Taft, who was present. and who, by
the way, tips the scales at beyond the
three-hundred-pound mark:
The Secretary was returning to
Washington from Chicago aboard the
Fast Flyer" that only stops at large
cities. He had urgent business with
an old acquaintance OF his who lived
at small station about two hundred
miles from Washington, the popula-
tion of which is about five hundred.
He asked the conductor If he could
stop the train for him at that place,
but he replied that it would be impos-
sible for him to do so-that he certain
ly would lose his job II he did. Well,
after much worrying over his disap-
pointment, Mr.. Taft thought of a
scheme by which he could gain his
end, and when the train next stopped
he sent message to the superinten-
dent Of the road, saying:
"Will you stop your Fast Flyer" at
Denizien for large party on way to
Washington? II SO, instruct conduc-
tor to stop today"
About an hour passed, when the con-
ductor, passing through the train,
stopped at the Secretary's seat and
told him that he would be able to get
off at Denizen as he had been ordered
to stop his train there for large
| party. going to Washington. The Sec
rotary smiled, with that childlike ex-
| preston Of innocence for which he Is
famed, thanked him and settled down
again behind his paper. Two hours
later the porter of the train called
"Denizen. Denizen." much to the sur
prise of the passengers. Mr.. Taft
gathered up his handgrip and started
for the platform Of the car, where he
was standing when the train came to
a dead stop. AS he stepped off the
train there was no one in sight but
the, surprised-looking station agent

sure his wife had left for him. After
reading and rereading the letter he
turned to his friend and said, Eyes,
Tom, Yonks Van Dolsen is dead and
am going in mourning for him; he
was fine old man; my wife has writ
ten me all about it. There are some
matters, Tom, I cannot explain in
the family, you know, Tom"
AS soon as possible Richard Van
Dolsen had Grape band sewed on
his hat, but it seemed hard for him
to overcome his natural cheerfulness,
still he tried to enter into the crepe
band spirit and often said to his
friends, Eyes, poor old Yonks is dead;
he was a fine old man; can scarcely
realize that I am in mourning for
him."
Ten days after Miss Arsdale's we'd
ding, Van Dolsen sent for his old
friend, Tom Garrick, and after care
fully closing the door to his private
Office, said:
"Tom, I've been thinking things
over, and / guess it will be annoying
to Mrs. Van to do all the explaining
so l am going to do it for her. Eliza
beth is the best woman on earth and
thinks of kind things that no one else
would think Of" 'You know how

continued. Funny girl, too; shed

HIS WIFE WAS A WONDER.


When the news of the death of the
Hon Yonks Van Dolsen reached
Wighamton it fell like a wet pail over
the place. Richard Van Dolsen was in
the wild Missouri Mountains looking
up timber tracks that had been offered
at tempting prices, and Mrs. Van Dol
sen had to bear her sorrow alone. She
shut herself in her house and would
see no one but Miss Arsdale. When
she appeared again she was in deep
mourning and fled East with her sor-
row.
There was no one in Wighamton
who could boast of such distinguished
ancestry as the Van Dolsens, except
Hetty Arsdale, and she, poor girl, was
the last of her line. Poor in purse,
but rich in pride, Miss Arsdale was
a source of considerable worry to her
many friends in Wighamton. Being
an Arsdale, she could not stoop to
work, nor could she accept indiscrimi-
nate charity. She was, however, CRATE
full for opportunities to relieve her
good friends of the regrettable neces-
sity of destroying such things, as they
no longer could conveniently keep. In
doing this she thought she was doing
favor and her friends respected her
pride, but found it extremely difficult
to keep her alive and clothed.
Everyone said that 1t was really too
bad that the death of Yonks Van Dol
sen should occur at just the time 1t
did. three weeks before Miss Hetty's
wedding. Miss Hetty had long been
looked upon as a confirmed spinster,
but, after having passed the forty
mark some distance, had met one Hec-
tor McGregor, and their wedding day
was soon settled upon. Yonks Van
Dolsen nearly upset everything, and
| Mrs. Van Dolsen went into black, shut
up her house and then went away.
Some days after Mrs. Van Dolsen
had left for the East, Richard Van
Dolsen arrived in Wighamton, and
while on his way home met his friend,
Tom Garrick, and the two men ex-
changed hearty greeting, after which
Mr.. Van Dolsen asked about village
news and learned for the first Of Miss
Arsdale's approaching marriage.
Garrick walking by the side Of his
old friend suddenly said, "Dick, / sup
pose you know Mrs. Van DOlsen has
gone East?" "Well, no." said Van
Dolsen easily, but she rather expected
to leave before got back" He looked
at Garrick curiously. why do you
look at me that way, Tom, there's
nothing wrong with Elizabeth, is

to the irrigation work. 1t means that
tens of millions of acres of the most
fertile land imaginable, which has.
lain Idle for ages, may be converted
from dismal and pestilential swamps
and useless boys unto highly prosper
GUS homes, to become the garden spots
OF the nation.
The Dutch have reclaimed vast
areas in Holland from the encroach-
ments OF the ocean. Thousands of
families live and farm below sea level,
gaining their security by magnificent
feats of engineering and persistence.
They now contemplate the drainage of
the Zuyder Zee, reclaiming some L.
$4,000 additional acres of meadow
land. American drainage in most
cases would be far more simple and
less expensive: 1t is simply a ques-
ton as to whether the nation will see
the wisdom Of setting Its hand to this
work.
Another Inland Empire.
In Florida the everglades alone-al-
most solid muck beds-would afford
an empire of some Z million acres: in
New Jersey and Virginia are vast
swamps, among them the famous Dis
NAL Swamp. In Illinois which is gen.
orally regarded as well settled agri-
cultural state, there are million acres
Of swamp land; in Michigan there are
nearly million acres. Fertile Iowa
has about million acres of swamp
land. In Minnesota there are almost
S million acres Of rich surveyed swamp
lands and huge swamp areas not yet
surveyed Arkansas has tremendous
swamp areas which could be drained
and made habitable, and In all there
is a swamp area in the eastern half Of
the United States which is equal in ex
tent to the great agricultural states
OF Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa, with
three or four smaller eastern states
thrown in.

seems to be no reason why this work
of creation of value out of worthless
