in all its bearings, aims to be Just to

A Hotel Experience.

One fashionable hotel on Fifth ave-
nue. refuses to give any receipt for
Jewelry deposited in it's safe or hold
itself responsible for a greater amount
than $3.50. It's explanation of this rule
is based on an experience which seems
excuse enough. Two guests Of the
hotel kept their valuables and money
in the safe They left them there
when they went abroad, sometimes to
stay for six months. Once the wife
came back alone and drew out all the
money and valuables. AS she had Of
ten done so before the clerks gave the
box to her as a matter of course. It
was not until her husband had return
ed and wanted the same valuables that
the hotel knew of their divorce. The
husband brought suit and recovered
all he claimed. Since that result of its
confidence in its guests the hotel has
limited its responsibility to $25O.-New

The most popular children's book
ever written was Mother Goose's Mel
odies." Mrs. Goose, or Mother Goose,
as she was Familiarity called, was the
mother-in-law of Thomas Fleet, a Bos-
ton printer early in the century. When
his first child was born his mother-in-
law devoted all her attention TO the
baby and. it is said, greatly annoyed
Fleet by her persistent and not par
ticularly musical chanting of the old
English ditties she had heard IN her
childhood. The idea occurred to Fleet
of writing down these songs and pub
fishing them in book form. The old
est extant copy bears the date OF 1719.
The price marked on the title page
was two coppers." This account of
the origin of Mother Goose is discred-
tied by some critics, who declare that
in 1897 Perrault published ''Contes de
ma Mere rOye." or Stories of Mother
Goose" The name Mother Goose was
familiar in French folklore, being used
by writers of this literature over q cen
fury before the time of Perrault,

Postage stamps.

The largest postage stamp ever Is
sued was five cent stamp of the

The smallest postage stamp, on the
other hand, was a twenty-five pfennig
stamp of Mecklenburg-S chwerin, is
sued In 1856. 1t was one-fourth the
size of an ordinary postage stamp. IN
cidentaliy it has been calculated that
about 1900 different kinds of postage
stamps have been issued by the vari-

''She's got neither wings nor feathers -

A Cholera Belt.

1.-THE cholera belt" said pale Anglo
Indian, lis not an imaginary girdIe,
like your pie belt, but a real girdle,
which every foreign resident Of India
wears day and night. In winter the
belt is made of heavy wool. In the
summer it is made of light wool. 1t Is
never taken off. Even when you are
sleeping In a temperature of 100 de-
grees, tossing and moaning and per-
spring, despite the punkah that fans
you from above, you still keep on your
cholera belt, no matter what else you
shed. Every Anglo-Indian has a couple
of dozen cholera belts. They are said
to prevent cholera, and have no doubt
they do so. AT any rate, 1 never heard
of any wearer of a cholera belt whom

A strange comedy and tragedy was
woven into the lives of Ibsen and
Bjornson. As young men they were
great friends; then politics flung them
apart; they quarreled and never met
for years and years. Strange fate
brought the children of these two
great writer's together, and Bjornson's
daughter married Ibsen's only child.
The fathers met after a quarter of a
century of separation at the wedding

The Maps are rejoicing over the
downfall of the Sox on the eastern
trip and are already boasting of their
chances. and King Nap stated that it
would be but a few days now before
the Cleveland sluggers would be in
first position. 1t is true that the
Cleveland team has made wonderful
showing on the eastern trip and have
been cleaning up their opponents
with great ease. Poor old Grif felt
their sting at New York, and his team
is practically out of the running now
because of the poor material doing box
honors. The Sox surely had a Jonah
week. losing three games in succession,
the two with the crippled Athletics
and one with Washington on Satur-
day. However. the twirling artists of
the Sox are real game stickers and
will be out this week for blood and un-
less luck breaks badly they will hold
the top of the heap. 1t has been
shown so far that Cleveland and De-
troit will be the bad men to deal with
unless, perchance, Grifith's bunch
comes to light later on or the Boston
Americans get their swing, but there
seems to be little chance of either
team coming TO the front.
