Here's Honest Confession.

Every little WHILE" said the busy
girl, somebody writes a pathetic let
ter to the newspapers asking why it
is that women will persist in riding
in the smoking seats in street cars.
Those letters always hit me good and
hard. 1 ride in the smokers seats,
and / have my reason for it. 1t may
not be anybody else's reason, but it
strikes me as being a good one.

smoke. l was brought up in a family
of men who smoked so much that the
whole house smelled like cigar fac
tory. Since coming to New York it
has been my ill-fortune to know only
men who do not smoke. l sometimes
get so homesick for the Whit of a
cigar, no matter of what brand, that
I think I'll die, SO to avert that calam-
ity l slide into the smokers seats in
the car. IN. Y. Sun.

Buying U, Worlds Treasures.

The fad of American steel and other
millionaires for pearl necklaces and
the scarcity of choice examples bring
out the fact that a large part of the
present supply comes from the boards
of oriental rulers. A dealer predicts
the approach of the time when even

American collector has now progressed

ransacked Europe for artistic plumber,

and old portraits in England, old sill

Why DR.. Bosom Was Untrammeled in
His Speech.

The Northby Clarion never failed to
notice the presence of a visitor in the
small town, and if he was a person
known to fame, the Clarion made suit
able comments. Occasionally these
comments were so worded as to prove
unwittingly keen.
Rev. Mr.. Bosom was a man known
in the pulpit as a fearless setter-forth
of rights and wrongs, but in the do
nestle circle he displayed, for pru-
Dental reasons, considerable reserve
of speech and action.
''Dr. Bosom is once more among us
for a brief season." wrote the chron-
icler of Northby's social and religious
life. He says and does exactly as
he thinks right, without regard to
the opinions OF belief of others.
His wife is not with him. YOUTHS

STOCK STORY OF coNvIcTs.
Prisoners All Have Tales of Immense
Hidden Treasures.

about two-thirds of the prisoners
in here" remarked guard at the pen
itentiary, believe or profess to be-
lieve, that they have great quantities
of booty hidden somewhere in the
United States. Sometimes they per-
suade guards to believe that their
stories are true.
81 remember of one instance when
a guard took companion and drove
to a spot which was mapped out on a
plat by the convict and dug up acres
of ground. Every time the pick struck
a hard substance the treasure was
located in the minds eye of the guard
and his companion. But they did not
find anything and the convict had a
laugh all to himself. Many have been
fooled on these hidden treasures and
it is an old gag now."-Columbus Dis

BISHOP WON THEIR HEARTS.
Loafers in SIums of Denver Recog-
nized a Man.

Bishop O1msted, of Denver, is the
hero of graceful story that was told
in Denver church the other day..
Bishop Olmsted, as soon as he took
up his residence-some three years
ago-in Denver, began to take a great
interest in the Denver poor, and was
continually to be seen in the poorest
and squalidest of the city's Sums
At first, as the bishop in his cler-
ical attire passed along the narrow
streets, the loungers and loafers be-
fore the saloons would say:
Whats that?"
And the reply would be-
That's what you call bishop"
A year passed, and a stranger, not
ing the respectful way the bishop was
stared at in the slums, would say:
What's that there?"
The loafers' reply would be:
1.-THE bishop
Another year, and then to the ques-
ton: Whats that?" would come the
aYectionate and proud answer:
why, that's our bishop. "-Denver

Why the Fare Was Simple.

A traveller in the mountains of
North Carolina stopped at cabin to
obtain a meal, which, when served,
consisted of the inevitable ''side meat
an cornbread." The traveller had OBJ
served great deal of game as he
passed along the road, and, seeing a
shotgun in the cabin, remarked that it
would seem that they might add to
their bill of fare with but little trou-
BILE.
That's so, stranger" the mountain
eer drawled, "an' we all do generally
hev right smart game. Would hev had
some pattiges terday eff Bub hadn't
been SIGH er fool. He went huntin' yis-
tidoy an shot off one bar'l of Their gun,

SHIP HAS STRANGE HISTORY.
Oldest in Point of Service, Has Had
but Five Captains.

The De Tvende Brodre is her name,
and if she is not she ought to be the
oldest ship at present in commission
on the four oceans. Only a few weeks
ago this cid sailing ship, whose keel
was laid at Marstal, Prussia, in 1856,
arrived in Swedish waters, and in
February of next year she will cele-
brate her 121st birthday.
Not only is the De Tvende Brodre in
a class by herself in point of age, but
she is just as interesting so far as the
history of her shippers is concerned.
During all the years she has been on
the seas she has had but five captains,
and every one of these shippers be-
longed to the same family. The first
skipper navigated the vessel for 20
years, the second % years, the third
20 years, the fourth 80 years, and the
present skipper has been II years in
command. At the present time the
De Tvende Brodre is taking on cargo
in the harbor of Nykoping, Sweden.

SimpIon Dancers.

Newspapers published in the Valais
state that the Simplon tunnel is
threatened with a serious danger.
In the second gallery there has taken
place serious displacement of rock,
and if this displacement should pro-
duce it's reaction in the first gallery
it is feared an interruption would take
place in the working of the railway.
One awkward effect already produced
is that the channel for carrying off
the flood of hot water has already
been destroyed, and the water now
flows unchecked through the tunnel.

Not Up on Art.

The late David B. Henderson,
apropos of ignorance, said:
But the worst case of ignorance I
can tell you of occurred in SO in a re-
mote section of our country. There
was man who suddenly became rich
and built an enormous house. He de-
,cided to. adorn the house with some
statuary, and so he wrote to Italy for
copy of the Venus de Milo.
9 "The copy in due time arrived. It
was executed in carrara marble, very
beautiful. But no sooner did he re-
ceive it, than the millionaire sued the
railroad for $4,000 for mutilation, and
what's more, he won the suit"

His Life Work in China.

Sir Robert Hart. who for 4S years
has held the high office of inspector
general of the Chinese maritime Gus
toms, is reported to be preparing to
return to England. He entered the
British consular service in China when
but 10 years of age, and in 1863 was
selected by the Chinese government to
be head of it's maritime customs. His
mastery of the Chinese language,
which he early learned, made him in
valuable to the government. He has
seen great rebellions in China, and
several foreign invasions.

An5Amazing CHAPTER

In review of President Roosevelt's
message and Mr. Bryan's Madison
Square Garden speech, The New York
World finds that the president and Mr..
Bryan are in agreement on a multitude
of subjects.
They agree on an Inheritance and in
come tax.
They agree on the desirability of en-
forcing the initial clause of the Sherman
antitrust law.
They are in accord on the federal
licensing of corporations.
Both oppose government NY injune-
ton.
An eight-hour day meets with their
approval. X
Arbitration of labor disputes finds
them in agreement
Bryan urged that the Philippines
should be treated as Cuba is being
treated and Roosevelt has indicated
that hereafter both will be treated
alike.
Both favor free trade with the Phil
ippines.
Bryan objected to the use of navies to
collect private debts and roosevelt al
lows that he is right.
Bryan holds that all natural monop-
olies should be public monopolies and
Roosevelt urges that the remaining coal
lands of the public domain should be re-
tanned by the government to prevent
private monopoly.
And the parallel is to be continued
throughout the gamut of public ques-
tons and political issues.
1.-THE Bryan-Roosevelt merger" The
World says, us one of the most extra
ordinary events in American history,
especially in view of the fact that Mr.
Bryan claims to be more radical than
ever, while. MIR. Roosevelt persists in
regarding himself as ratioGsI conserv-
alive battling manfully against the
demagogue and agitator."
1t is an amazing chapter in American
history, the winning of Roosevelt.

MNickeIsu for Efance.

From the beginning of December
copper money will gradually be with
drawn from circulation in FraAce, and
be replaced by five and ten centime
pieces made Of nickel. Tie shape and
size of the new coins have not yet
9been decided on, but the minister of
finance is considering several types,
and it is thought probable that the
coins will be about the size of an
American five-cent nickel and an
American quarter, eespectively.
They will most likely be made with.
a hole through them, or with fiat
edges, so that they shall not be mis-
taken for half-francs and francs by
careless persons.

REWARD as a Mouser.

The FOX is an excellent mouser. He
will lie and watch for a field mouse
in the long grass like cat, pounce
upon it, kill 1t with a bite and lay it
on one side until he has caught an
other, when, picking them all up. as
many as he can carry in his mouth,
he will canter away with them to
serve them out to the cubs. This fact
was confirmed by witnesses in Scot
land who were examined by a COM
mittee of the board of agriculture
when taking evidence on the occasion
of the plague of field voles on the
lowland sheep farms in 1898.

Queered Himself.

The travelling man who had not
visited the town for year or two,
seated himself in the hotel dining
room.
What has become of the pretty girl
that used to wait on this table?" he
asked, unfolding his napkin and look
ing up with a genial smile.
II have always waited on this table,
sir" frigidly answered the waitress,
placing the bill of fare before him.
The historian deems it best to draw
a veil over the dinner that was
brought to that travelling man half
an hour later.

Mr.. BRYAN declares that President
Roosevelt was justified in Diminishing
the battalion of negro troops. He says
in the Comnioner:
at is inconceivable that fair-minded
persons should criticise the President
for relieving the military service of a
body of troops whose members will
shield criminals. There is no principle
in law or an morals requiring that
greater consideration should be shown
to the innocent soldiers who prefer to
conceal the guilt of their comrades than
to the public in general.
'There is very clear distinction be-
tween the sports of the school boy and
the commission OF crimes. If dozen
school boys were present when one or
two of their number killed fellow
student, no one would justify the
silence of the boys who looked.
at is the duty of soldiers to assist in
bringing to punishment those who are
guilty of riminal offenses, even though
the guilty ones belong to the same COM
pany.
''The friends of the black man,
whether they be themselves white or
black, cannot afford to defend the
crime of shielding crime.
at may be that the President has
gone beyond his authority. If so, the
question ought to be discussed as a
legal one. Those who assert the moral
right of negro soldiers to shield COM
rades charged with capital offense
will not give any material assistance
IN the settlement of the race question. -
