Trophy-FootbaIl Captain Gives Advice
Famous Brood Mare Dead.

LONDON, Feb. 1z-With practical as
surance that American tennis. polo and
golf teams are to come over next sum
mer after championship honors. a most
interesting season is anticipated in all
three games.
The best impression Is that if the
Americans send over as good a team
after the Davis tennis trophy as they
did last year the trophy will return TO
the States. II is doubtful if the Do
hertys will defend Il and IL is difficult
to see what can beat the Americans
with the Dohertys out. In golf. too, the
Americans are regarded as dangerous.
1t is not believed the States can send

What He Would Saw.

The late Francis Coggin for a long
time was a director Of the Indian
Head National bank, Nashua, N. H.
ship the present cashier, Ira F. Har-
ris, was at the head of the institution.
It was Mr.. Coggin's custom to visit
the bank daily, and invariably as he
opened the door he would say, in
tones that could be heard all over
the bank: "Is Ira in?" Mr.. Harris
grew very tired of this, much to the
amusement of the rest of the bank.
Finally the phrase came to be a by
word with them.
During the summer preceding his
death Mr. Coggin looked very bad, but
was able to get out and make his
usual visits to the bank. One hot day
in July the clerks were sweltering over
their work, when in walked Mr. Cog
gin, with his usual salutation: "Is Ira
in?"
EYES," said Mr.. Harris, II am here.
It's pretty hot day, isn't it?"
"Hot! You don't call this hot, do
you? You ought to have been with
me one summer down in Georgia"
And Mr.. Coggin proceeded to tell what
hot weather really was
After he had gone out Mr.. Harris
spoke up as follows: Doesn't Mr..
Coggin look bad? l am afraid it won't
be long before he will be where the
weather will be not enough for him."
''Yes," piped up the correspondence
clerk, land the first thing that he will
say when he opens the door will be:
is Ira in?' Boston Herald.

Unanimous.

The late Lord Leighton, president
of the Royal academy, once had a
chance to learn something about him
self that perhaps he had not sus-
pected. His chance came to him at
picture gallery, where his painting,
"Heien Of Troy" was on exhibition.
He joined group of ladies who
were standing before it just in time
to hear one of the number say:
at is a horrid picture, simply hor-
rid
'I'm sorry, but it's miner Lord
Leighton exclaimed, involuntarily.
"You don't mean to say you've
bought the thing?" questioned the
same lady.
'No, painted it." the artist hum
bly, replied.
The critical lady was momentarily
abashed; then she said, easily:
"Oh, you mustn't mind what ]
say
mo, indeed, you mustn't" another
began, earnestly "She only said what
everybody else Is saying!"-Youth's

IS THIS AN ANCIENT OIL KING?
THEY LIVE STlLTED LIVES.

Residents in Turpentine District OF
France Have Peculiar Existence.
People live on siXteen-foot stills in
the remarkable turpentine growing
country of France. They don their
suits after breakfast and do not re-
move them again until it is time for
bed.
There are two reasons for the wear
ing of stills in the turpentine country.
One is the turpentine gathering. The
other is the herding of the great
focks.
The turpentine comes from the mar
thine pine. This tree is tapped, a
single is inserted and from the
single is hung a tiny bucket, into
which the turpentine drips. The tap
ping process is like that used on the
American sugar maple.
Young pine trees are tapped low, but
with each years passage the 1nc1s1on
is made higher, SO that it is not long
before most of the trees are tapped
twenty to thirty feet from the ground.
Hence the huge stills of the work
men. On these stills they traverse the
flat country, covering five or six yards
with each stride, and quickly and east
ly they collect the turpentine that
overfows the little buckets hanging
high up in the trees.
It is for herding also that.th stills
are useful. The country is very fiat
and the herdsman unless he contin-
ually climbed tree would be unable
to keep all the members of his huge
flock in sight. But, striding about on
his stills, he commands wide pros
pect. He is always, as it were, upon
a hill.
The silt wearers carry d fifteen
foot staff with round, fat top like
dinner plate. When it is lunch time
or when they are tired they plant up
right under them the staff and sit
down on it's round, fiat top. Then, in
comfort, seated SO dizZily high, they
eat and rest and chatter-a strange
sight to behold.

In his admiration over the Norwe-
gian guard company stationed at
Trondhjem during his recent visit to
that city, Emperor William has dis
tributed the medals of the Order OF
the Red Eagle and the Order of The
Crown among the non-commissioned
officers. The honor is the more sig
nificant from the fact that it is the
first time that noncommissioned off,
GERS have received high honor than the

A Literary Evening.

The ever-new but old idea of the
magazine as a means of entertain
ment may be arranged in a somewhat
new form for summers evening at
home church or club affair
Starting with the old idea of erecting
a frame for the posing of the contents
of the magazine, name the publication
according to the place wherein you re-
side or to the event to be considered.
Announce the issue as the late sum-
mer book number.
Friends of the host and hostess, or
young people of the town, should be
dressed and posed to represent some
well-known books, and the object will
be to make the guests guess the titles
from the living pictures. The first
picture, of course, will announce the
title of the magazine merely. If the
affair is to be used as money-making
scheme, local advertisements may be
used at intervals, but if not, the book
number should begin at once. The
frontispiece of the magazine may be
one of the book titles, or it may be
C4O opA VI u NOIy WCll-huOWu
author or poet. The guests must write
the name of the man or woman shown
on the paper which has been furnished
each, as the first answer.
AS the magazine is to be made the
chief feature of the evening, some Is
or 20 pictures should be shown.
For the first Tarkingtons "The
Beautiful Lady" may be shown as
a sweet-faced, white-haired old lady
an old-fashioned grandmother. A
dashing young woman, too, might be
used to represent this title, but no two
people bear the same ideas as to real
beauty, whereas the old lady of the
type mentioned appeals to all.
Majors when Knighthood Was in
Flower" can be made into a beautiful
living picture young man in colo
NAL costume, kissing the hand of
maiden in the costume of the same pc
riod-a bit of gallantry which is we'll
nigh obsolete in this day.
Another of Tarkington's-"The Gen.
t1eman from Indiana" can be used as
the first bit of comedy in the maya
zine-a typical Hoosier may be shown.

with pencil and pad, bringing out the
idea of the state Of authors" as In
diana is known.
Connor's 1.-THE Prospector" may be
the means Of showing a picture of a
true wild western miner with pick
and shovel.
Wister's 'The Virginian" may pic
ture the man of the plains in his most
romantic dress, or the typical old Vir-
ginia gentleman may be shown to rep,
resent this stirring title
Barrie's Little Minister" is too
suggestive a title 20 need aid in pos
ing, and SO, likewise, is Mrs. Grand's
Heavenly Twins" although both will
be capital for the magazine.
Longs Madame Butterfly" will make
an effective picture-a dainty maiden
dressed in Japanese costume, with
butterflies in her nair. on the paper
flower bushes which may grow about
her, and in the design of her dress.
This idea, too, might be worked out in
the modern society matron, but the
picture would not be as pretty.
Connors MAN from Glengarry"
brings in another type-the lumber
man; and Doyle's Study in Scarlet"
may produce a Partisan dancer in her
scarlet ballet dress, or modern
young woman in red will suffice as
well.
Hollands Bitter Sweet" may be the
comedy vehicle again, if pretty and
otherwise sweet young woman-one
known to be sweet of disposition-may
be posed with very bitter frown upon
her pretty face.
Miss Johnstone's "To Have and to
Hold" is ideal for mother and child
picture-a reproduction of Mrs. Won
noh's little statuette of young moth
er holding her babe would be most at
tractive.
Parker's "Seats of the Mighty may
be an empty throne, and Rostand's
"Cyrano" will make an excellent char
acter picture.
More fun may be produced by Her
rick's ''The Common Lot" or Doy1e's
Sign of the Four" The first may pic
ture man perched on high stool in
front of a desk covered with papers
With pencil behind each ear he is
digging" away with might and main
The last may be worked out by pos
ing four folk with talent for panto-
mime.
Gaines "The Christian" may show an
other old lady picturo-an elderly wom-
an, seated with her Bible in her lap.
under the Red Robe" is easily illus
trated, while 'Under Two Flags" will
make an attractive military picture.
The series may close with Miss
Schriner's "Black Beauty" showing a
young man or woman with blackened
face, and dressed in the very height of
fashion, which may serve as the last
funny picture, and Miss Alcott's cold
Fashioned Girl" which needs no de-
scription, as the final "sweet young
girl" picture.
When the magazine has come to an
end, each guest writes his or her name
on the slip of paper which has been
given them for their answers. and the
slips are exchanged among the guests
for examination. Then the index Of
the magazine appears as the last leaf,
and the papers are corrected. The most
successful contestant is given a late
novel or some attractive book, and the
Funny Dictionary will serve as a
BOBBY prize.

Along about this time of the year
the farmers are gathering in the last
of their grain, apples and other fruits
are being slowed away for the winters
use, and vegetables, too, have reached
their climax. 1t is the season of plenty,
and harvest dinner" not only will
be apropos, but very easily arranged.
Not many guests should be hidden, for
the service naturally must be plenti
full, and too many guests will bring too
great display of food to be appetite
ing. AS nearly as possible have a rep
resentative of all the fruits, vegetables
and grains on the table, either in dec
Grafton or actual service.
For the table decoration have a
horn of plenty filled with fruits, and
hung from the chandelier Immediate
1y beneath arrange d mound or bou-
quet of the grains-Wheat, oats and
the like. On the stem of each fruit
which is placed in the central horn of
plenty tie a narrow ribbon, which
will lead to cover. At the "cover"
end of the ribbon a paper horn of
ten thereon or a tiny horn of plenty,
with the name thrust in the horn, may
be used as the place card.
For the first course serve water
melon in the old-fashioned southern
or farm style. Cut the melon length
wise, not removing the rind before
serving. Chicken or tomato SOUP may

son. For August the fish course may
be omitted, if desired, and the meat
course may follow the soup. For this
serve crown of lamb with mint sauce.
Shirred potatoes, green peas and corn
boiled on the cob and replaced in the
original husk for serving, will serve
as the vegetables for this course. Pine
apple or raspberry sherbet, likewise,
will make a good dish for the meat
course. The salad should be a COM
bination of all the fresh vegetables,
sliced together and served with French
Or mayonnaise dressing, the French
preferred.
The dessert course may be frozen
peaches, cakes and coffee, and for the
very last bring in great plate of the
early nuts. Then ask the guests to pull
the ribbons bearing their place cards,
and the fruit from the horn of plenty
will come tumbling to their places.
AS the table will be cleared except
for the plate of nuts, no damage can
be done, and conjecture will be rife
as to what each one will draw from the
horn Of plenty for the final course. The
same idea in deeoration-the horns of
plenty and the use Of grain and fruit
may be carried out throughout the
rooms Of the house, if desired.

Chief among the appropriations TO be
asked for by the penitentiary from the
coming legislature is money with which
to build third cell house of 200 steel cells.
Such building as is desired by Warden
Pratt will cost in the neighborhood of
$1,000. In discussing this Recommended
ton, Warden Pratt said last evening that
the two cell-houses, with a total number
of z3S cells. Will be wholly inadequate to
accommodate the increase to come within
the next two years.

are absolutely necessary.
There are 80 prisoners ia here now.
