VIII Give Fiancee Proof.

There Is man in Pittsburg who
will be married in short while and
will occupy the house few rooms Of
which he has used during his bachelor
days. He takes the greatest pleasure
in showing his intimate friends about
the place and is especially delighted at
the astonishment they express when
his own den" Is reached He has al
ways been quiet, studlous fellow
but as refitted the room gives the ap-
pearance of the lounging place OF a
regular rounder. There are racks Of
long pipes, photographs Of actresses
are stuck about the chimney glass, a
shelf Of beer stems runs all the way
around the room and few feminine
gloves, handkerchiefs and fans are
scattered about.
"Great Scott, Jack !" the last visitor
gasped, "where did you get this outfit
and whyW
Bought out a college fellow" was
the complacent reply. Just think how
pleased that dear llttie girl will be
when she sees all this truck and thinks
how much wickedness she has won me
away from v'-Harper's Weekly.

The First Marlborough.

Herbert Paul in his book on Queen
Anne Of England paints queer picture
of the great Duke of Marlborough.
He was not truthful. He was not
straightforward. He was not honest.
In his love of money and his capacity
for boarding 1t he rlvaled those wretch
ed mlsers who have done no more
than contemplate their gains. And yet,
such are the strange freaks In which
nature INDUCES. this mean and selfish
intriguer was endowed with perfect
courage, with an irresistible charm of
manner, with a temper which even his
wife failed to disturb, with a brain
that no sophistry could obscure and
with a military genius before which
criticism Is humbly silent.
He was treacherous even In treach-
erous age. Wholly devoid of cruelty
and by nature humane, he Is said ney-
er to have sacrificed an unnecessary
life. He used his fellow creatures for
his own purposes, and when he had no
further use for them he forgot their
existence. He made his plans and car
ried them out with the absolute eff
cheney of sheer intelligence and the Sc
rene applicability OF impersonal fate.

STORY OF A STURDY sWEDE.
Remarkable Life of n Little Known
Minneapolis Millionaire.

Emigrant, coachman, multimillion-
aire! These are the three grades In
the life of c. A. Smith, a Swede who
lives in Minneapolis. Smith Is only 54,
and the next stage In his life will be
given up to placing his descendants on
a rock Of fortune that will endure for
centuries, perhaps.
The story of this sturdy, thrifty
Swede is one of the many stories Of
fortune which the Northwest loves to
tell. Smith tumbled off an emigrant
train In Minneapolis on June %, 1867,
at the age of IA. He was a strong boy,
without word Of English, but in day
or two he went to work as chore boy
at the home Of Ex-Governor Plllsbury.
His native name was unpronounceable
80 he became Smith. Soon he was good
enough to drive the coach. He went to
school little, and then entered Pills
bury's hardware store. Finally Smith
went into the store business himself,
with Plllsbury as his partner. 1t was
at Herman, Minn., ana they sold grain,
lumber and farm implements. Every
year the young man was gaining busl-
ness wisdom, putting more money away,
and becoming Americanlzed.
In few years the country store was
too small for hrs activities. He went
back to Minneapolis, and the first of
the G. A. Smith lumber mills started
to cut logs In 1884. The business grew,
and the mills with 1t, until they soon
were the largest in the world. In 1899
Mr. Smith bought out the Pillsbury in
terests In the business: Since then the
big company has been composed Of but
one man. c. A. Smith. who says he be-
lleves he owns more standing timber
to-day than any other one man. Either
Mr.. Smith or James B. Walker of
Minneapolis owns most. It is a ques-
ton Of which is entitled to the title of
largest" owner in the world.
When the vast woods of Minnesota
and Wisconsin began to disappear Mr..
Smith led the way 10 the wooded slopes
Of the Pacific. where he now owns more

millions of standing trees than his mills
can convert into lumber during his life
time. And he Is well aware Of this
fact. He admits it, and Is buying more
every week, almost every hour. He de-
clares he will never sell single acre
Of timber land. His aim Is to secure
enough standing timber so that his sons
and their sons and grandsons may
make planks and shingles from the

ALICE ANGRY At Z
CARTER RECEPTION
Objected To Being Used
For Political
Purposes

by Chas. L. Rhodes" appears IL
! large Gothic type over the following
published In the Albany IN. "
Times-Union:
Honolulu, Aug. 2S.-Alice Roosevelt
LOngwOrth expressed herself emphat.
!cally and Indignantly about Governor
Carriers public reception announced as
In honor of Secretary and Mrs
Straus, and Congressman and Mrs.
Longworth," held in the old throne
room of the capitol--the Iolani palace
Of the monarchy. Her grievances
were both personal and political.
Her personal grievance grew out
OF carriage incident.
She came to the reception In an au-
tomobile, but she left in a japanese
hack. 1t happened thus:
The Longworths, with Mr.. and Mrs.
Jack London, were the dinner guests
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Church on the
evening of the reception. The
churches keep the hotel where the
Longworths are stopping.
After dinner the Longworths and
Mrs. Church, accompanied by A. l.. C..
Atkinson, secretary of the Territory,
started in an automobile to the re-
teption at the Capitol.
Arriving there, the Longworths took
their place IN the receiving party and
Mrs. Church took her place in the line
passing the receiving party. After
che had passed the party and was
ready to go home, Mrs. Church called
the Longworth auto and went home in
IL. Before IL got back to the Capitol
the reception was over, ana the Long
@orths had asked for their auto. 1t
was not there, and after standing
about impatiently for a while, the
only available conveyance, a Japanese
back, was called and the Longworths
were driven away In It.
AS to her official grievance, Mrs.
Longworth declared that Governor
Carter had made all arrangements for
his reception and for her presence in
the receiving party, and publicly an.
ncunced them0without consulting her
and without her knowledge, and then
used II for his own political pur-
POSES.
The announcement OF the reception
made by Governor Carter was that It
was given by Governor Carter on she
falf of the Territory of Hawaii, in
! Onor of Secretary and Mrs. Straus
and Congressman and Mrs. Long
worth; that there would be no invita-
lions except the general public one to
the public.
So far as the white population is
foncerned there were no other invita- |
lions. But the Governors chief clerk
was sent around to number of the
native Hawaiian societies to invite !
them to attend in body, the alleged
object being to create the impression
on the visitors that the Governor is
popular with the Hawaiians
A suspicion of this got into the
minds of the Hawaiians, but the Gov
trnor succeeded in getting good
many of the native societies to attend
the reception wearing their society
badges.
It was evident throughout the
evening that Mrs. Longworth was vio-
lently indignant at something, and
later she expressed herself in no I'M
certain terms.

EXPLOSION OF
FIERY FURNACE
PlttSburg Steel Furnace Rains
Molten Metal Three Dead,
Seven Hurt, Many Lost.

PITTSBURG. Jan. 10.-One Of the
worst explosions in the history of the
steel industry occurred at the Jones &
Laughlin Steel works in their Eliza
furnaces when a large quantity of gas
which had accumulated at the base of
the furnaces became ignited and ex.
ploded. Tons of molten metal was
showered around the furnaces for a
radius of forty feet.
Out of a force Of thirty-fve men EN-
ployed at the furnaces when the ex
plosion occurred three of them-John
Cramer, Andrew Featherka and Gus,
tave Kessler-haVe been taken to the
morgue, their bodies horribly mutilat
ed by the fire.
Seven men are in hospitals fatally
injured, and twenty-four others have
not been accounted for.
While the mill officials are inclined
to believe that all of the missing mer
were not cremated in the molten meta
nothing definite is known MS TO theil
present whereabouts. Only one man
George Knox, has turned up since the
explosion, and Knox says everything
happened so quick that he doubts
whether the men escaped.
The entire plant took fire, adding to
the horror. and two alarms called a
dozen fire companies to the scene. As.
sistant Fire Chief Peter Snyder in di.
recting the work of his men fell with
a collapsing trestle and was probably
fatally injured. Several firemen were
overcome by the fumes. and a second
explosion hurt many.

party of workmen believed to have es.
capped uninjured. said:

Superiority Of English Tongue.

VT lOm
English is spoken by about $780,
600, 900. and Spanish by about 50,-
900 900 people. The difference is
not due to any inheret superiority of
the English language, but to the SUI
periority of the English stock. The
English not only have the greater
genius for commercial and political
cooperation and colonizing, but they
have, as well. built up their institu-
tons on the enduring basis of right
eousness and respect for law. Span
ish is incomparably more musical
than English, and is practically pho
netic. while English is handicapped
by it's arbitrary spelling. On the
other hand, English is often b~riefer,
though not always. Spanish can say
81 car goc. .arfrOr. ,phnce. Jha. !.
II shall go" in one word-"Ire" The
great advantage of English is its dou-
BILE vocabulary. one of Teutonic and
one of Latin origin, which enables 1t
to make nice distinctions. 1t has
also acquired the power to assimilate
words from every language under the
sun. These facts. together with the
greater intellectual activity of the
English race in many fields of human
endeavor, have swelled its vocabu-
larry to startling figures. The "Stand-
ard Dictionary" contains oyer 317,-
900 words. | do not believe any
Spanish dictionary contains half as
many.
