TUTOR OF MAHARANI
PENNsYLVANIA GIRL ACCEPTS
UNIQUE POSITION IN INDIA.
Niles Mclean, of LawrenesVlIle, Well
Fitted to Occupy Post-has OBJ
tained Degrees from caiifor-
MIA and Yale Universities.

LawrencovilIe, Pat Is safe to say
that every woman of artistic taste and
q love for the beauties Of the arts OF
"a ancient civilization will be pleased
ct and perhaps snVious of the distinc-
ton which has come 70 Miss Mary E.
Mclean, who has been appointed tutor
and companion to the wife of the Ma.
hGraiah Gaikwar, of Daroda, India.
Aiss Mclean is the daughter Of the
late George Mclean, OF Lawrence
vile, and is a charming young wom-
an deeply interested In the study of
6as occult, and the mysterious phan-
tasmAgoria of the Indian rites, as
prActIeed thousands of years ago.
When the Maharajah and the Ma
hATAni-which means the little
princsss'-were in this country a
year ago they decided to engage an
American college woman who would
be fitted to relieve her highness of
the fatigue of social duties when oc-
casion required, and to aid her in
such duties. It was somewhat OF a
task to select one capable of perform
ing such a work of delicate diplomacy
which meant a thorough knowledge of
social customs and a wide familiarity
with the history of India. The Ma
harajah consulted a friend in New
York and after an exhaustive inquiry
Miss Mclean was decided upon as
possessing all the necessary qualifica-
tiOns, with her lovely personality as a
kind of bonus.
There are a few young women in
America possessing a better educa-
tional equipment for the novel posi-
tion she is to occupy. She went from
here to Oakland Cal, where she was
graduated from the girls high school.
She next entered the University Of
California, from which she was gradu-
ated with the degree of bachelor of
philosophy. This was supplemented
by two years study and travel in
Europe.
Returning to America, Miss Mclean
entered Yale university, from which
she obtained the coveted degree of
doctor of philosophy. Since that time
she has been engaged in literary work
in New York city until she received
her present appointment, and has re-
Gently entered on her duties.
Miss Mclean, who is now u India,
has written to her friends here that
the Maharani is a very beautiful and
intelligent woman. The Maharajah
himself is a graduate of Oxford and
possessed of vast wealth. To the
great disappointment of Miss Mclean
everything about the palace, even to
the rugs and furnishings, is imported
from England. She has had the great
est difficulty in making the people
who are fitting up her bungalow IN
derstand that she wants everything
Indian, not English.
Her highness is a Brahmin of the
highest caste. dresses in native COS
tune, and wears It's accompanying
veil of Is or 20 yards length.

a cure for drunkarda And he did.
It was to take the pledge and keep il. y
Then he sent so cents to find out how
to raise turnips successfully. He found
out: "Just take hold Of the tops and

Being young he wished to marry and
sent thirty-four 1-cent stamps to Chi
cago firm for information as to how to
make an impression. When the answer
came it read: "Sit down on pan of
dough"
Next advertisement he answered
read: 'How to double your money in
six months" He was told to convert
his money into bills, fold them and
thus double his money.
Next he sent for twelve useful house
hold articles and got a package Of
needles.
He was slow to learn, SO he sent 81

stopped him
But his brother wrote to find out

He was told to use a lead pencil.

HAVE A QUARTER BILLION.
Six Widows Own Interests Aggre
eating That Many Dollars.

Six Widows Own Interests AEgre-
eating That Many Dollars.
With another woman, Mrs William
Henry Smith, in the ranks of wealthy
widows-widows whose wealth is reck-
oned by tens of millions-it has be-
come true that six Of them alone by
massing their fortunes could make a
total Of $25O,OOO,OOO. Mrs. Smiths
fortune will not fall far short Of $780,
100000. It Is an amount almost as
large as that which Russell Sage left
to his widow. Mrs. Smith Is not as
we'll known throughout the Union as
is Mrs. Sage.
Her widowhood is too recent, as it
was only few weeks ago that her
husband died in Japan, for the
glamour of her fortune to surround
her name instead Of the mans, as
already has happened in Mrs. Sage's
case. But her wealth will change that
quickly, for it places her among the
four richest widows in the country.
The six who by drawing checks could
make up a quarter billion are Mrs.
Sage, Mrs. Smith, Hetty Green, Mrs.
Anne Weightman Walker, Mrs. Mar
shall Field and Mrs Marshall Field,
Jr.
Each Of the first four women has a
fortune several times as great as that
of either Mrs Field In fact, it is
possible Mrs. Sage, Mrs. Smith, Mrs.
Walker and Mrs. Green could make
such a showing without the aid of the
Chicago widows.
Hetty Green's fortune is estimated
at from $6O,OOO,OOO to $SO,OOO,OOO
Leaving her out Of the count, the list is
headed by Mrs Sage and Mrs. Smith
jointly, for, though the widow of Wall
streets great money lender received
$5,OOO,OOO under his will, she has CIV
en- away $15,OO0,0OO.
Next comes Mrs.-Walker with $780,
100000. Mrs Field the elder has $15,-
100000, Mrs. Field the younger S.
100000. But the comparative small
ness Of young Mrs Fields fortune is
offset in a sense by the fact that her
sons when Of age will divide $5O,OOO,-
600. Mrs. Green and Mrs. Walker are
the business women Of the six and
each inherited her fortune from her
father.
In Mrs. Walkers case, however, the
fortune came from William Weight
man practically as it stands to-day,
whereas Mrs. Green received only $12,-
100000 from her fathers estate and
at least quintupled that amount
through her own ability. Mrs. Sage
and the elder Mrs. Field are the only
widows of the six whose fortunes were
amassed by their husbands.

The "PrOfeasors.O

Chameleons can be kept alive for
years by making a frame to fit over a
plant in a fowerpot and covering it
with mosquito netting, which must be
long enough to tie with string about
tho pot. Keep the pot In the sunniest
window and water the plant every day
through the netting. You will be sur

creatures will drink the running water
after they get over their fear. Set a
