The Plain Girl.

Volumes could be written about the
unnecessary sorrows of the plain girl
Not one girl In a thousand is ugly, but
a large proportion are what might be
termed badly turned out. Now, If the
plain girl only knew 1t, this Is her
golden age. Things have advanced
since the days of our grandmothers,
when the pensive. delicate creature
that sighed and arched her brows and
only demanded but commanded the
slavish worship Of men. After all,
there Is no phase Of femininity so at
tractive as the plain girl that Is as
neat as a row of new pins and whose
wits have been sharpened by the fact
she has no beauty to trade on or fool
ishly offer as a substitute for brains.
OF course there are men who always
will follow in the train of prettiness,
but 1t may be taken almost as an In
variable rule that If happiness does
not come to the plain girl before mar
rage 1t comes to her after marriage,
for the plain girl usually wins the dis
eliminating man. the man who Is fully
awake to the truth that beauty Is only
skin deep. In the ranks of society
within the last few years the plain girl
has had things practically her own
way. She has defeated her lovelier
sister time after time In fair competl-
ton for desirable matches, and she has
done 1t simply because the plainness
which Is her secret sorrow has driven
her to mental alertness.

Most people predicted that Miss Ten

been engaged by the rumor mongers of
society several times, among the men
with whom her name had been linked

and was still a maid. Then, In 1894,
society was amazed by the announce

England.
1t would probably be no exaggera-
ton to say that Mrs. Asquith, wife of
the premier of England, Is the most
brilliant In England. As a girl
she was so brilliant that young men
fought shy of her. and she was always
to be found surrounded by elderly
statesmen or middle aged men of ire
mendous learning and sparkling wit.
There was nothing of the bluestocking
about her, though she could talk enter
tainingiy on any subject. She was
dashing, volatile, spirituelle, delight
fully Inconsistent and possessed a fund
of deep womanly sympathy that n
deared her to men who were really
great. The friends Of her girlhood
were such men as Gladstone, Tenny-
son and Balfour. The German en-
peror rode with her In Hyde park and
danced endless waltzes with her at

MEASURE
II Is Drafted After Conference
of Leaders and Will Sup
ersede Two Pending
Bills.
ELIMINATES BOND
SECURED CIRCULATION
New Workers. Second Attempt Is
Bill That Promises to be More
Satisfactory to All Glasses
Than AldriCh or Other
Measures.

Washington. April 29.-Another
currency measure which will have
the support of the Republican mem
bership in the House, has been draft
ed after a conference of the leaders
and may be introduced today. 1t was
framed by Vreeland of New York.
The new bill has eliminated prac-
tically the bond secured circulation
authorized by the Aldrich bill and in
Vreeland's first bill. 1t does not
mention bonds at all, government,
municipal, city, or county in express
terms.
In way it authorizes an emergen-
cy currency. 1t provides for the for
nation of clearing house associations
with capitalizations of s6,000,000
each as originally proposed. 1t fixes
the amount of the emergency circul-
alton to be issued at $3.50, 700, 900 to
be taxed at the rate of one per cent
for the first month of issuance, in
creasing to two per cent the second
month and upward until the tax
shall be at the rate of ten per cent.
The bill provides that this emergency
currency shall be based upon securi-
ties held by the banks, commercial
paper. bonds. etc.
a commission to devise a perman-
ent plan OF banking and currency is
one of the features OF the measure.

CHILD WAS LOST
FOR THREE DAYS
Three Year-Oid Girl Wandering in
Desert Found by Searchers
After Long Hunt.

Novia, N. M, April 29.-The three
year-old daughter OF Pedro Alvarez,
an FL Paso q Southwestern section
hand, who had been lost on the desert
since Monday, was found today alive
and well about nine miles west of
this place.
The child was missed shortly be-
fore noon and search instituted, out
without avail. The engineer of the
east bound passenger last night saw
a child playing close to the track on
the right of way about six miles west
of here and so reported on his ar
rival. When he saw the child he
thought that its parents were prob
ably in camp in the vicinity and gave
it no heed except to think that the
parents were rather careless in allow
ing it to play so close to the track.
The father and friends Immediately
started for the place where the engi-
neer had seen the little one, but al
though they searched diligently could
find no trace of 1t. They returned to
Novia about midnight and started
again at daybreak this morning. The
child was found about / o'clock this
afternoon about three miles beyond
where il was seen at 4 O'Clock yes
terday, trudging along the track. Its
tongue and lips were badly swollen
md discolored, the effect of going
- hours without food and water.

VETO PUBLIC
BUILDING BILL

His suggestions for Fear He viii
Hurt Them With Their Con-
StitutentS and Use His In
fluenCe Against Them.

Washington, April 29.-President
Roosevelt proposes to fight as vigor-
ously as ever to obtain the adoption
by Congress OF certain features of his
legislative program as set forth in
his messages. particularly in his most
recent one, as he did to secure the
authorization of additional battleships
for the navy. according to the Wash
ington Post today.
This attitude is strengthened con-
siderably by his victory in the naval
appropriation matter. While contend
ing for the need of four battleships
this year, the action OF Congress in
providing for but two this year and
two additional to be built each year
hereafter, pleased him even more
than if his original demand had been
granted.
With this victory to his credit he
has assumed "a more vigorous attitude
and will keep up his fight to secure
the passage of those measures he has
particularly advocated in his recent
messages.
According to the story in the Post
today, Roosevelt is holding up his
sleeve. as his trump card, his power
tn approve or veto the public building
bill. There Is not a member of Con-
gress who Is not directly interested in
this bill for the reason that whatever
appropriation each secures Cor his
own district viii aid him tremendous
ly in future campaigns. on this ac-
count 1t is thought probable that II
| it comes to a show down Congress
would much rather take action on
some OF the laws urged by the presi-
dent rather than 20 oppose them and
nave him veto the public building
| bill.
The presidents attitude is that ne
does not regard the public building
bill as OF 50 much Importance when
compared with the recommendations
| he has presented for legislative ac-
| ton. In addition to his power of veto
he holds still another power and that
Is the influence he could exert to pre-
vent the reelection of Congressman.
| The two combined make powerful
weapons and it is regarded as prob
able that should Congress not heed
his suggestions the president will not
! hesitate to use them.

mentOf Suicide of Foster.
HE WAS INVOLVED
HEAVILY IN MARKET

New York. April 29.--The suspen-
sion OF Coster Knapp & Co.. brokers
and members of the New York ex-
change, was announced on that ex-
change today. Charles Coster, a mem
Der OF the firm, committed suicide
last night
The firm was prominent and did
an extensive business. In the AN
rouncement given out it was stated
that the action was directly due TO the
death of Coster. No intimation Of
the firms assets and liabilities is
given and II is not thought anything
like definite figures can be given
PENDING the compilation of the assign
ees investigation.
Coster, who was rated as a mil
lionaire had prepared for his volun-
taTy death with a coolneSs and thor
oughness which proved beyond doubt
that the act was premeditated. He
selected a time when Mrs. Coster was
at a reception and after preparing
himself for bed, telephoned the fam
lily physician that Mrs Coster had
a severe cold and asked him to come
to the house at once.
Soon after, he retired to his room
and sent a bullet through his head.
The shot rang through the house just
as Mrs. COster entered, returning from
the reception, and she rushed to her
husbands room. At the door she met
the family physician VINO had found
the husband dead, with a smoking re-
vOlver in his hand.
Relatives are at a loss to account
for the suicide but ]. NJ. Knapp, Of
the failed firm, today issued a state
ment in which ne declared that Cos
ter had been speeulatlng heavily and
that II was this speculation which
brought about the suspension of the
firm. Knapp said the losses would
fall almost entirely upon Coster and
his brother, and to no small extent
upon himself On che floor of the
exchange 1t was said Coster had been
caught heavily short Of the market.
