Charlie laughed at the nervy young

cutionary standpoint. He has made
great reputation as a debater and an
orator but in addition mas added
greatly to his fame by his writings.
He knows now that his articles are
real because a unique experience the
other day demonstrated this fact.
He was asked in a very gentle,
though somewhat dictative, manner to
assist a constituent Of one of his col
leagues in securing an assistant secre-
taryship to the president of the Chica-
go, Rock Island & Pacific railroad.
This applicant was not a bit back
ward He stated his qualifications for
the place very infinitely, and his letter
was written in a good hand and was
we'll composed. The young man wrote
that he had read one Of the senator's
articles on the subject of a young
mans chance in the world. Mr.. Bev-
eridge in this article, which was writ
ten at least a year ago, said that the
president of the C. R. l. & P. railroad
was looking for bright young high
school gTadute to fill vacancy in his
office as assistant private secretary.
The young man in his letter to the
senator expressed himself as satisfied
with the job, and he enclosed formal
application for the position, which he
asked Mr.. Beverage to forward to the
right person. The senator was rather
taken back by the thought that his
purely academic discussion of an alb
stracr subject should have been inter.
preted as an advertisement, but he
wrote very kind letter to the young
mao expressing regret that the latter
had not applied for the position :
year ago.

months Of the present year he has
bought over S25,OOO,000 worth of cut
and uncut diamonds. He has not con-
fined his taste to diamonds, but his
plethoric pocketbook has included all
sorts of precious stones in it's purchas-
ing power Ten years ago his total
outlay of precious stones of all kinds
abroad was less than 100000. This
year it will probably be $4,000 900
worth, as for ten months the importa-
tions have reached the value of $751;
BAG, 157.
To q certain degree these tremen-
dously increased imports of diamonds
and precious stones are an indication
of prosperous times, plenty of money,
and also, to some extent, they are q
new form of investment, as many peo-
pie consider the investment of money
in diamonds about the safest that can
be made This expenditure Of wealth
ABROAD for precious stones has been
productive of work and consequently
money to the workmen of the United
States. This is shown in the rapid

diamonds.
A few years ago there was estab-
lished in this country a diamond cut
ting industry, and it has increased
very rapidly in the last decade. In
1896 there were but $7S,815 worth OF
uncut diamonds brought into this
country, but since the passage Of the
present tariff law, giving a preferen-
tial to this class of diamonds, their
importation has increased until this
year over $1O,OOO,OOO worth will be i'm
ported. For the decade ending with
1905 the value Of uncut diamonds i'm.
ported will reach $6OOOO,O0O, and OF
cut diamonds about $1OO,OOO,OOO, and
of other precious stones imported
enough to bring the total value for the
ten years up to $2OO,OOO,OOO

mings OF New York, the one time
printer friend of Charles A. Dana and
Horace Greeley, was accorded the first
place in congress circles as an expert
fisherman. Amos loved fishing as
we'll as he did a good story, and that
meant a great deal. He had a lodge
on the upper branch Of the Susque-
hama, where he used to spend most of
his vacation fishing for the small
mouth black bass, or earlier in the
season going into the mountains of
Pennsylvania and Turing the willy
brook trout.
No man has exactly taken Amos
Cummings place as the fisherman par
excellence Of congress, but Mr.. Albert
Burleson, of Texas, comes very near
it. He is a born fisherman. In his
opinion fishing is the finest sport and
recreation on the top Of the earth. He
has the finest collection Of fishing
tackle Of anyone either in the house
or senate, and that Is saying a good
deal. He is not carpet fisherman by
any means, one who can tell how fish
ing should be done while seated be-
fore the fro, but he is an active sports
man who has tackled pretty nearly
every sort Of game FISH in the country,
He tells some mighty interesting stOr-
les and, unlike the proyerbial fish
story they are true and backed VI
with snapshots.
Mr.. Burleson is great believer in
fishing and he asserts that no man car
be very far wrong who is fond OF thii
quiet, gentle sport. He is a great ad
mirer Of ex-President Cleveland, al
much on account Of the latters fond
ness for rod and line as for any Of hii
achievements in stateamanshlp.

A schoolgirl Of IL is old enough 10
care good deal about her looks, and
nobody should blame her or accuse
her Of vanity, il she wishes for a
good complexion and bewails a bad
one. ! have known mothers who wor-
ried not a little because Jessie and
Jenny liked to look in the glass as
they passed it, and who seemed to
think the custom worthy of Tep.oof.
Now, girls, please don't tell anyone,
# l whisper my own little secret.
have always loved TO see myself in a
mirror, and, to this day, | cannot re-
sist its fascination, and am sure, I'M
less in great haste to keep an ap.
pOintment, to pay my respects to it,
as l go through the room where II
hangs.
A friend @: my girlhood had love
ly room in which were four long mir
rors set in four high doors. 1t was my
delight to take a book to that room
and seat myself on a sofa in the
middle of it, with a loOking-glass in
each corner, repeating the furniture
and books as well as the young per-
son in the center Later ! slept, dur.
ing a visit to the south, in a cham
Der of which one side Of the wall was

but often seem to see faces Of dear
ones who are not with me now; my
mother, my sister, and others who

hope you will see a pretty COM
plexion reflected there.
a complexion has a great deal to
do with girlish beauty. For one
thing. it is an index to your health,
a sickly complexion showing unerUng-
ly that the body is out of order. A
rough, sallow, or pimply complexion,
with red spots or the ugly things
called blackheads, disfigure any girl,
and spoil the effect of regular fea-
lures, as a blotch or blur would spoil
a picture.
There are a few things to do, and a
few not to do, If you would have a
nice skin, and a good color, and be
free from boils, pimples and insight
1y patches upon your face. Inlis-
pensable to a good complexion is a
bath from head to foot every day. The
best time for this bath is in the morn
ing as soon as you rise. Wash thor
Oughly every inch of the body, and dry
with a rough towel, so that the fric-
ton will bring a warm glow to the
surface. A tub-bath is not necessary
A sponge-bath is quite as good, If YOU
have no tub.
Some girls fancy that soap must not
be put on the face. This is an old
fashioned prejudice. Everything de-
ponds on the soap, which ought to
be of the best quality. In a toilet
soap it is wise to purchase a delicate
variety, not of the very cheapest
either Wash the face thoroughly
every night at bedtime with fine SoaT
and tepid water, rinslng it well and
removing the lather, and drying il
with soft towel. Once day is often
enough to use soap on the face, but
this one using should never bt
omitted.
Blackheads are accumulations o.
dust and dirt in the pores of the skin
To press them out with a watch-key
or to fuss with them at all is very
foolish. A little cold cream may b,
applied, after the thorough washing
with soap, but this is seldom neces
sray. A schoolgirl whose face il
really clean will have no blacllhead
to bother her.
AS for freckles, they are the kisse
of the sun on a fair skin, and no ON
should be worried over them. /
they do distress a girl, she may re
move them by using lemon juice free
ly, adding TO it an equal portion o
much diluted glycerine Never us
glycerine either with rose water O
lemon juice, unless you dilute it free
ly with water. A country girl ma
drive away freckles by washing he
face frequently with butternill
which is one Of the best possible 10
lions for the skin. Be very particu
lar never to use another persons towe
and wash-cloths.
