Menelik is a man of striking ap-
pearance. Capt. Powell Cotton Of the
British army found him sitting on
cushions on a dais, surrounded by
about 20 attendants, and he thus des-
cribes him: "His is a very dark, but
not black face, marked by smallpox,
rather even but not very white teeth,
a short, grayish beard and whiskers.
a face that is full Of strength and
shrewdness, quick in altering express
sion, and pleasant smile and hearty
laugh. His head was covered with
white muslin, drawn tight on the
skull. A fine rose-cut diamond in the
left ear, plain gypsy ring on the
right hand, white trousers, a coat of
green and yellow striped silk, black
satin cloak with gold braid and lined
with pink, was his costume"

NeQr0 Delivered Mail.

Hopkinsville, KY, Jan. 14.-Be-
cause the patrons OF rural free de.
livery No. 2, out Of Cerulean Springs
In Trigg county, refused to allow
their mail to be delivered by the ne.
gro carrier who was appointed, the
route has been discontinued by the
Postal department. The route was
established Jan. Is, 1906, but the
mail was delivered by white man
until April 1, when he resigned.
W. l.. George, colored, was then
appointed carrier and Immediately
the patrons OF the route began tax
Ing down their mail boxes and this
continued until the route has now
been discontinued for lack of pat
ronsge. Patrons OF the rout never
made any threats or demonstration
against. the carrier, but preferred to
20 to the office for their mail rather
than have it delivered by q negro.

Mark Twain Sounds Warning.

New York, Jan. 14,-Mark Twain,
humorist, his ominous visions OF an
American monarchy. So strong Is
he in his prediction that We are pri-
vately hankering after titles that he
introduces the autobiography now
appearing iIt the North American
Review, writing las regards our
American monarchy"
The venerable author was aroused
by a recent speech OF Secretary OF
State Root, and he says:
"Mr. Root did not cay In 30 many
words that we are proceeding in a
steady march toward eventual and
unavoidable replacement OF the re.
public by q monarchy; but | sup
pose that he was aware that that Is
the case.
"He notes the several steps, the
customary steps, which In all the
ages have led to the consolidation
OF loose and scattered governmental
forces into formidable GENERALIZATION
by authority; but he stops there
and doesn't add up the sum. He is
not unaware that the same figures
can fairly be depended upon to fur
nish the same sum whenever and
wherever they can be produced"

Incnmnetent Wives.

There is no greater injustice that
can be inflicted upon girl than for q
mother to allow a daughter to enter
womanhood or wifehood without a
practical knowledge of a household
and its requirements. 1t matters not
how easy her life may be made for
her, how everything may be provided
for her by generous parents when she
begins her new career, nor how many
servants she may have at her call, a
woman is cruelty Handicapped who
comes to her own home without an
intelligent conception of its manage
ment. 1t is a popular thing in certain
smart sets" to scoff at the utility OF
housekeeping, but nothing more sure
ly stamps the intellectual caliber Of a
girl than an indulgence in such feath-
er-brained commonplaces. The girl
who believes she becomes fashionable
by being untrue to the best instincts
of her sex is the girl who some day
wakes up to wonder why other wo-
men are so happily married, and she
still retains her single blessedness.
Wealth does not lessen the necessity
of a knowledge of home-making and
housekeeping on the part of the girl.
says New York Weekly. The largest
retinue Of servants requires head,
and an intelligent one, Just as the
largest business requires a, master;
and servants, whether In home or In
an office, are quick to discover inca
pacity and take advantage Of 1t. The
woman who comes closest to the solu.
ton OF the servant-girl problem Is the
woman whom her servants know Is
as capable of doing their work as they
are themselves. Servants of any kind
work best and only under direction.
and proper direction requires knowl-
edge. No study is more vital to a
girl than this. Many a girl after mar
riage has wished that she knew more
about cooking. The strongest love of
a husband for a wife Is not a safe
guard for the discomfort which Is sure
to enter a home where the wife be-
trays constant domestic incapacity.
II the husband be the master Of his
business, he expects his wife to be
the mistress of her home. Writers
and public speakers have done much
harm in referring to cooking as a
homely art; on the contrary, no prac'
tical art exists which is more grace
full. A woman who fills her home In
every sense of the word elicits more
true applause, worthy at all Of the
having, than the woman endowed
with any other quality.

SUPPOSED CORPSE

Bill of $500.

Tulsa, Ok, Jan. 14.-When Pink
Bond, formerly In the livery business
at Kendrick, stepped from a train
there after a years absence In New
Mexico he was surprised to see q
hearse drawn up and his wife with q
large concourse Of relatives and
friends awaiting the arrival OF his
corpse, which they expected TO take
to Stroud for burial.
Early last week Mrs. Bond receiv'
ed a telegram stating that her hus'
band was very Ill and requesting her
to come to him at once. Before she
had arranged for her departure a
