 The D'Estes family was of the haughtiest in ChiIombia. Papa D'Estes was a retired dictator, not yet entered into that permanent rest which the cemetery affords to most Spanish American patriots at or before the end of their official careers. His best ener- giles were now engrossed in crematlng malodorous cigarros, and in irrigatnS certain arid tracts of his interior win aguardente Mamma D'Estes does not count in this story, save as the parent of seven sons and one daughter emu merated below.
 There were Brother Alfonso, who was destined for the presidency; and Brother Joan, for the generalship or the army; and Brother Leon, for the archbishopric; and so on through the list to little Brother Christofero, who was to All some older brothers place, should anyone elect a foreign minis tership instead of service at home.

Of newspaper women who have won seal distinction most are Americans, and no two write along the same lines. In England the most admired and in- fuential of those whom the humor lacking Briton calls 'iady journalists" is Mrs. Thomas Power O'Connor. wife of the Irish leader and member of par liament. T. P. O'Connor, a brilliant young Irish patriot and writer. came to America with Charles stewart Parnell, to whom he was devoted. During Par ne1l's American tour OConnor met in Washington Miss Paschal a beautiful young Amerjcan actress. the daughter of Judge Paschal of Texas. CsConnor and Miss Paschal met, loved, were wed have stayed wed and have apparently continued to love.
 Mrs. T. P. OConnor gave up her American career and went to London with her husband. She wrote various things for publication and continued at intervals to ap-ear on the s age By and hy T P. founded the famous peri odfcal. "M A. Mainly About Peo- ple. It was devoted chiefly to sparkling personalities and good natured conn ment on we'll known individuals. Mrs. T P. became leading contributor 10 its pages in order to help her hus- band. By and by Mrs. T. F. became fha main show of the newspaper, though few knew 1t or know 1t to thls day. She wrote scihtilating para graphs. She was animated and denght- ful in society, consequently everybody wanted her and invited her to enter, tainments In the literary. musical and artistic, social circle of London, nrobablv the most delightful of that kind in the world. Mrs. T F became a leading light. She kept her eyes open. She Is keen as well as phil osophical observer, seeing through the surface of things Her observations and comment she puts into print Tn @ nsr own peculiarly attractive English. She conld not be dull if she tried, neither iii tempered. Goc1 nature and, kind liness. besides her undoubted genius have paved the way for her in every circle she has desired to enter.
 This giftful woman is also success ful pIaywright. Her best known play is "The Lady From Texas. She was in America. recently with her husband and everybody was glad to see her' Keeping, as always, her eyes open on matters and things. she discovered a fact that American women themselves are mostly ignorant of. She found that fhe supposed superiority of Europe as a shopping field for women Is mostly humbug. She found, and said so Tn niafn English, that American stockin9s for women are cheaper and far better made than those of Great Britain while as to shapeliness of these articles there Is no comparison, SC far inferior is the ugly. baglike hosiery-same size at ankle as at knee-of the British ar. ticle The same is true of American shoes, Mrs. O'Connor finds.

Weird Things Congress and Legisia-
 tures Are Asked to Make Laws. New York World.
 From time to time weird bills on sub jects ranging from anti-tipplng to tax ing bachelors have been introduced in Congress and in the various State Leg lslatures. To round up the most fool ish bills offered for statesmen to pom der upon, The World instructed its cor respondents at prominent capitals to telegraph what each deliberative body considers its prize performance. and
 There are many freak bills intro duced during a session of Congress, but most of them are introduced by re- quest. The two prize pieces or at- tempted Legislation at this session are the Murphy anti-tipping bill and the Wharton resolution giving the Presl- dent the right to suppress newspapers that print matter thaat offends his Ideas of propriety.
 The GPtifiPpiHig 6f 6ii T9s hTTepSFted n@ mittee as d joke. The Wharton reso- lution never will be reported out.
 Murphy and Wharton are both hrst. termers. and both have been defeated for reelection. Murphy is from Mis- souri. He came in with the great Roosevelt wave two years ago. Whar- ton Is from the stockyaTds' districts in Chicago. and he also was boosted In by President Roosevelts popularity.
 The Kansas Legislature this winter changed the name of George Denolt to George Beh, but neglected to change the name of Mrs. Denof. Mrs. Denolf made so much trouble for Mir. Bell that he came tO Topeka to lobby for bill to change the name of his wife. The original bill was introduced by E. r. Rochester of Scott County. He said Denolt wanted a name the neighborlng farmers could remember. When MrS. Denolf learned what had been done she suspected a trick, and notlned her nus band that he must go to Topeka and remain there until he rectihed the mls- take.
 In addition to the bill to tax bache- lors, freak bills introduced at this ses- sion of the Missouri General Assembly included Dr. Tubb's anti-tipping, pill, in the Senate; MT. Houston's bill to regulate spendthrifts. tu pseNtd, ls l from disposing of the money they have tnherited the bill by Mi Garter or Clark. to prevent under heavy penalty, one person from treating another In a saloon, and the bill by MT Stapl ot Atchison. preventing the manufacture and sale of parlor. or popping matches fin this State.

Now, this is fine indeed. Many women who write for newspapers speak as though 1t were beneath their dignity and literary gift to do so, ignorant in their stupidity and conceit that the journalists field Is the world, that the work of the contributor to the daily press reaches fresh and redhot thou sand readers where that of the mere book writer reaches ten.
