Quaint la Paz.
Many interesting features arrest
the attention of the traveller at La
Paz, which is so far from the beaten
path that it is little changed by for
eign contact A limited number of
electric lights and telephones are the
only up-to-date improvements. No
tramways are seen, or other modern
means Of altering the primitive life.
A goodly number Of German and
French, a few English and perhaps
a dozen American residents make up
the foreign total of $4,000 inhabitants.
A military band plays twice a week
in the plaza, when the people prom
enade-the aristocratic portion walk
ing back and forth on the upper side
OF the square, instead of encircling

l did not see a single beautiful
woman at the many such gatherings
u attended, but there are, however,
pretty types among the Chola class,
as that mixture Of Spanish. Indian
and foreign blood is called. Little
! glazed hats, highheelAd shoes and
fancy stockings, which are displayed

shawls and jewelry, with the omni-
! present bundle held on their backs
/ by vari-colOred fajas, are also a part
of their makeup. Their usually pref
/ ty teeth, eyes and natural ruddy
color give them an appearances so
! pleasing as to have made them IA
nous in southern countries. Es-
pecially on the numerous feast days
do they bedeck themselves in great
splendor. Those of Chola blood are
widely separated from the stupid
and unattTactive Indians, but cannot
aspire to the inner aristocratic circle.

The Intimate Side of Senator TiIIman.
Ben" Tillman, lolling back in an
armchair, is one personality. Sena-
tor Benjamin R, Tillman, on the
floor Of the United States senate, is
something entirely different. The
! contrast is wonderful, but unstudied
! There is no individuality in Ameri-I
can public life so ungroomed and
earthly as Tillman. Beneath the
tousled hair, behind the solitary
brown eye, is an intellect colossal
and majestic, .despising all platooning
Of self, inveighing against whatever
! savOrs of sham and humbug.
Tillman dearly loves the hardships
Of steadfast principles. and revels in
| the hardest forms of a righteous ha-
tired of lies and liars. He is anything
but novitiate; still he is extraordGn-
airy and a surprising proposition in
the geometry Of suddenness. He is
neither clever nor ponderous. But
he bends with no sycophancy, shakes
with no vacillation, snaps with no dis
loyalty. wobbles with no irresoluton.
His Intellectual weapons are wit, sa-
tire, inYective, irony, and scorn,
welded with the edge of Daring and
the swirl of strength.
In the senate chamber he always
clutches a brand-unlit, aflame, or
charred. He Is tirelessly a-buckle
and ARRAY, spurred and ungloved, al
storm-born blow7giver.
But, reclining in an armchair. at
bis ease, his mind undisturbed by the
fumes of the day that has died, unag.
itated by the expectations of the day
unborn, a mischievous smile playing
about his mobile lips, the RESPONSE
bilities of craftsmanship laid aside,
the strife. conflicts, and struggles of
public life for the moment abandoned
with just the sweet sympathy of his
little family circle to calm him, the
Cndisguised admiration of the woman
sitting opposite him, the playful hu.
NOR Of his domestic side, and you
have another and distinctly opposite
Tillman. A tender mildness comes
into the brown eye; musical
cadence pervades the worn voice;
ana a languor that constitutes posi-
tive luxury to this glutton of labor,
thought, and toll converts into relaxa-
ton the exhausting tensions of al
mammoth organism of nerves.
No other senator can arouse his
compeers to greater activities. Nc
other man exhibits a fonder tender
ness to his family, OF can provide
more genuine hospitality to his |
guests.-Success Magazine.
The June Smart Set.
"The Hesitation Of Gisella," by |
Edith Macvane, is the title of thel
novelette, which opens the June num-
Der Of The Smart Set. It is a charm |
ing story, the scenes of which are
laid in France; the period, however,
is modern and the story is Of an ap-
pealing character which will win for |
it many admirers.
Mary Austin, so well known for |
stories of the sheperds on the west
ern plains, contributes to this mum.
