Selfish, Helpless Women.

The helpless woman is the most
prominently selfish Of all womsn.-
The worst of it is that 1t is q very
hard selfishness to fight against. a.
she is usually sweet-tempered in her
tyranny. In her home life before mar
riage she is always the one who gets
up last in the morning and shirks
work all day long.
Today, however, men are beginning
to realize that the self-relant girl "a
not necessarily unfeminine, and that
she makes better friend or wife
than the girl who is sweet and help
less. The helpless woman is a draw
back to her husband from the start
to finish. The helpless girl is daily
growing more and more back num-
Der, and sometime in tie near future
when man comes quite to his proper
senses, she will be an utterly un-
known quantity .-Exchange.

Kaiser Careful of Details

A Hamburg paper tells this story
about the kaiser's attention to detail:
Shortly after his arrival at Swine
munde the kaiser was standing on the
bridge of the Hohenzollern, when he
noticed that the sentry, a member Of
the Stettiner Royal Grenadlers. on
duty near the customs officer. wore
topcoat, but had his trousers over
his boots. The kaiser shouted to the
lieutenant of the guard: Lieutenant.
when topcoats are worn the trousers
must be worn inside the boots The
ofbcer, an extremely youthful fellow.
became confused and did not know
what to say and the emperor called
In louder tones: Lieutenant, I again
call your attention to the regulation
boots must be worn over the trou-
sers by men who wear topcoats.' The
command then flew from post to post
and pedestrians wondered why the
soldiers suddenly became busy with
their boots.

five miles west of Santa Fe, and not
more than five or six miles from
Buchanan Station, on the Denver &

not entirely justified.
Pajarito Park is included in the

though equally interesting antiquities
belonging to the same group are also
found in the Santa Clara Indian Res

From this lovable domestic side
one travels easily to his general So
cial outlook. That can best be de-
scribed as frankly American. He is
too sensible Of the value Of his posi-.
ton as a man Of wealth to underes-
innate its possibilities. He mixes
easily in society, entertains on gen.
erous scale, with an eye to the ele-
gancies so easily within his reach, but
he enjoys most the company of the
gifted, the genial and the witty, for he
rather leans to saying good things
himself and Is never happier than
when he applauds smart saying or a
good story. A quiet game of cards
for the love Of the game In congenial
company is his occasional pastime.
He has never developed the fondness
for field games that pleased him in
his youth. He has taken easily to the
automobile, but, like all good sons of
the saltwater, his liking for the sea
has grown with the years.
At Home on His Yacht.
Nowhere is he perhaps more genial
ly at home than on his yacht. No
hurry that sends men to express
trains is allowed to interfere with his
yachting runs to Fairhaven. Hence
the Kanawha is about as well known
as Mr.. Morgan's Corsair around the
waters of New York. But it is in
Fairhaven itself that he fairly revels
in life as he thinks he would like to
live it. There he was born and
reared, and his affection for the town
and the bay and the country read is
extravagant in its manifestations.
There, in his frequent visitings, it is
his delight to move about and chat
with all and sundry old cronies of half
century gone, who call him Hen; :"
