Hats Off to This Girl.

Since women have entered the busi-
ness world like a tidal wave, there Is
a good deal of questioning going on as
to how they are treated.
Half Of them complain that men are
rude. The others declare that all men
are angels of politeness.
Some clever people have been trying
to sum up the situation, and they be-
lieve that the girl to whom hats are
off" in the business world, Is the one
who:
Doesn't wear clothes that attract
unpleasant attention.
Doesn't ogle every man she meets
when she is asking him a business
question.
Doesn't put paint and powder on her
face instead of plenty Of water and
cold cream.
Doesn't think it is clever to use the
latest slang.
Doesn't let men call her at any time
without the prefix Miss"
Doesn't make intimates in the COM
mercial world, but is courteous to eV-
cry one
Doesn't listen to gossip and private
affairs and doesn't tell any Of hers.
Doesn't expect every man to wait on
her and take the time to listen to her
love affairs.
Doesn't say a man is rude merely be-
cause he Is abrupt.

Miss Hillyer," he began, what

answer too soon? Would you like a
longer time to- consider

tears in her dark eyes as she looked
at him. "Mr. Harold, I am very, very
sorry!"
you mean that you do not love
me?" apprehensively.
There was no coquetry in Bess Hill
yers nature. She nodded promptly. AS
she stood there in that rain of moon
light, she seemed to Harold as sweet
and strong as the balsam frs Of her
native coast.
Don't take 1t to heart" she pleaded;
there are many women IN the world
your world, which Is very far removed
from that of Cape Observation-Disclosures,
more attractive women than I, you
know.
II know nothing Of the kind be-
lieve nothing Of the kind" he answer
ed, vehemently; and in spite Of his in
significant figure and specialized eyes
he looked really tragic. Miss Hillyer
-Bess! Let me ask you one question:
Do you care-have you ever cared for
any other man."
; Was it the moonlight, or did her
brave young face grow suddenly pale?
! Yes" she answered, sadly but firm
ly.
There was a moment Of astonished
silence.
Pardon me-" stammered Harold. II

Who, amongst the natives Of this cape
could have won your heart?"
1T is not necessary for you to know

quiet dignity. 81 answered your cues

ness Of your own case"
He held out his hand.
"Goodby." Miss Hillyer-if Hume

Good by" she answered, gravely.
The next instant she was alone.

MECHANICAL VIOLIN PLAYER.

Fingers on the Strings.

1.-The new automatic player on exhibit
Ition during his last visit to Chicago,
says the Literary Digest. "They have
even stolen my fingering!" he exclaim-
ed. La Nature (Paris), which relates
lthis incident, reflects on the likelihood
Of the new devices supplanting the
human performers and reducing our
stolin virtuosos to the ranks OF the
unemployed It describes the new IN
vention and comments on 1t as fol-
lows
1.-THE violin Is hidden in a cas- that
resembles, in a general way, that Of
typewriter being fitted with key
board The keys, which are actuated
by electro magnets. replace the fingers
Tof the vlolinfst's left hand. They touch
the strings Of the instrument at deter
inmate points, and modify, according TO
the requirements of the piece. to be
executed, the number and Intensity OF
the vibrations impressed on the strings
by the automatic bow.
"This bow Is formed Of movable
disks on pivots, whose movements are
determined by electro-magnets. A
small electric motor, inside the case,
furnishes the power Finally, flexible
bands, similar to those Of mechanical
piano player, are used to direct the
action of this steel Paganini.
1.-THE execution Is not displeasing to
those who have heard the automatic
virtuoso execute its music, whether
classical or popular.
1T must not be supposed that the in
strument Is content with imitation
with repetition by note. No: 1t ex-
eccutes with both nicely and verve. 1t
puts its whole soul into its music. II
varies it's effects in an astonishing
manner, and renders the slightest
nnances Of the COMPOSER. 1t executes
easily the most difficult passages.
Finally, it has this enormous ad-
vantage over the human Violinist-it
has at it's disposal, we may say, an un-
limited number of fingers, which 1t can
use all at once. 1t can thus play both
air and accompaniment at the same
time. 1t goes even further since IL
executes duets on one instrument and
with as much harmony and volume OF
tone as II two violinists were playing
together.
It may be understood that profess
sionals have welcomed such rival as
this with vague feeling OF disquiet.
The organizers Of chamber concerts
hail with enthusiasm the advent of this
docile executant, in the hope that 1t
will lower the present fantastic prices
of professional violinists!
But the hour has not come when
the humble country fiddler will find
himself supplanted by the virtuoso; It's
price of 5000 francs ($1,2OO) will repel'
at least for some time, the givers OF
rustic entertainments"

cArAcoMes MINED FOR GOLD.
Grewsome Chambers Where Stand

Grewsome Chambers Where Stand
Skeletons of Mexico's Dead.
The famous catacombs of Guanajua-
to must yield their dead in order
that the gold and silver which lie un-
derneath the underground chambers
may be obtained by enterprising Amer
leans, says a dispatch from that place
to the New York Press. 1t was while
wOrkmen were excavating for the foun-
dation Of the new station of the Mexi-
can Central railroad here a short time
ago that a blast uncovered vein OF
gold and silver ore of great richness.
Two Americans, w. S. Davis and
Elisha Moore, Immediately acquired
title to the promising mining claim.
They traced the vein from the point
where it was uncovered in the cata-
combs and thence down the hill and
through the city park, which is sit
uated in the heart Of the city. In or
der to get out the ore the American
owners Of this claim will have to con-
duct mining operations throughout the
length of the vein. The storehouse Of
the dead will have to be disturbed, and
mining carried on in the heart of the
city.
The long and narrow underground
chamber in which many skeletons OF
the more distinguished dead are kept
standing long has been one Of the most
grewsome sights in Mexico. These
skeletons were naked until a few years
ago, when the municipal authorities de-
cided that their appearances would be
improved by draping their bony forms

RECKLESS AARON BURR.
TIE Dramatic Story of His Marriage
In Old AGE.


The story of Aaron Burr's marriage
In his old age to the widow Of Stephen
Jumel, who was we'll known in the
early history of New York city, is a
dramatic one.
Conceive, If you will, the picture Of
Burr gifted adventurer that he was,
broken in health, branded in the pop
ular mind as the murderer Of Alexan-
der Hamilton and returning from a
long exile to find himself an outcast in
the city where he had once been the
political monarch Of all he surveyed
and a distinguished figure in society
and at the bar. Conceive, il you can,
this lamentable old man, smirking
through his wrinkles, bowling and
prancing rather stiff1y because Of his
rheumatic joints and with his mouth
to the widow Of Stephen Jumel, her
self in the prime of years and health.
Remove from the picture its surface
incongruities, and you have bit Of
pure pathos unequaled in the annals
of foolish great men.
But something Of his old time pow
er to charm the gentler sex must have
stood by him in his years Of mental
and physical misery, for in this suit
for the widow Jumers hand and for.
tune he won gloriously, dramatically.
Rebuffed repeatedly, Burr finally de-
clared in passionate rage that on
given day he would arrive at the Ju-
mel mansion accompanied by cler-
gyman, who would marry them on
the spot He would give his prospec-
tive bride no quarter, no chance OF
escape from the inevitable.
She was amused at the threat and
dismissed the old man with more
than her usual coldness Of demeanor.
Burr stuck to his avowal and one July
day rolled up in a carriage, and with
him was a minister, the same who fif-
ty years before performed the mar
riage ceremony for Burr and the
mother Of his daughter, the beautiful
Theodosia. There was something OF
scene in the old house on this day.
There were tears of anger on the part
of Burr. Relatives demonstrated; Burr
remained immovable. All feared a
scandal. The minister, book in hand,
stood unobtrusively in the back
ground. There were more tears, more
declarations of undying love and the
widow Jumel became Mrs. Aaron
Burr.
They were married in the great
drawing room of the Jumel mansion:
Burr squandered with reckless hand
the wealth acquired by stephen Jumel
and left for the enjoyment OF ms
marital partner. There were many
bitter quarrels between the Ill mated
pair. and they were soon divorced:
Burr died in 1886, but madam lived
until 1865, dying a recluse and mi
ser, the money received from the Ju-
mel estate boarded in an unused
chamber.

A FARM WHOSE CROP IS TIMBER.
There Are Lands That Will Bring Bet
ter Results In This Than Other Thinqs.


ter Results In This Than Other Things.
In every state Of the Union there
are many tracts Of so-called agricul-
tural land, which, owing to their hill
ly character, poor soil, or numerous
boulders, are not suitable for farm
ing. The owners Of such tracts are Of
ten at a loss to know what to do with
them
Without question, the best use to
which land Of this kind can be put is
to plant 1t with trees. One of the
fundamental principles of forest eco
nomics is, that soil which Is not good
enough to make the growing Of cereal
crops profitable should be devoted to
the production OF wood crops. This
does not mean that trees grow better
on poor soil than on fertile soil. They
will, Of course, grow better on fertile
soil. But, in proportion to the money
invested. better returns are secured
from trees planted on the less valua-
BILE land.
many hardwoods as well, will thrive
in soil Of medium fertility. All trees,
however, do not thrive on poor, sandy
ridges, or on hillsides where the soil
is thin. Black walnut, hardy catalpa,
and white oak, for their best develop
ment, require a deep, fe title soil, well
watered and we'll drained, and it is
not advisable to plant them where
these requirements are not met.
An Ohio farmer Is solving the prob
lem Of what to do with the worn out
farm. He owns an old homestead Of
sixty acres, which he Is desirous Of
keeping in the family. He does not
live on the place, however, and farm
ing has been a losing proposition. He
has, therefore decided to plant the
entire tract with trees. He has al
ready planted $4,000 Norway spruce,
set three and one-half feet apart each
way. on an area Of about eleven acres.
These trees will be cut as they be-
come large enough, for Christmas
trees.
Chestnut seedlings will be planted
in the spaces left by the removal Of
the spruce, and 1t is expected that
they will begin to come in bearing
when the last spruce Is cut. In addi-
ton to the spruce, hardy catalpa,
black locust, elm, boxelder, and syca-
more have been planted. 1t is plan
ned to put the entire sixty acres in
forest within five or six years. The
owner is wise in planting several
kinds of trees instead Of confining
himself to one species. His forest will
be producing six or seven kinds Of
lumber, chestnuts. and Christmas
trees, at the same time.-The Forest

Rose crushed the letter in her two
pink palms, and so holding it, fled in

which Morse was indicted, tried and

and borrow slej,ooO from the National
Bank of North America. The bank
books nowhere showed that this loan
was made TO Morse, while in fact Whit
ing was only a dummy and Morse was

Why Quality is Reduced

Just now the United States laws don't protect
you and your grocer against weak Evaporated
Milk, because the standard has been relaxed.
The law is not enforced.
There is much competition and great tempta-
ton to reduce the quality so the wholesale prices
can be reduced
Van Camps Milk has not been reduced in
price (your grocer will tell you that and we
positively guarantee you the quality has not
and will not be reduced.
Quality is what you must have and we know
it is wise to give it to you. So quality is what
you can depend upon in Van Camps Milk.

The difference is in the richness, for after
purity, richness controls the value of milk.

Planned His Revenge.

Morse's personal fortune was almost
wiped out. His steamboat lines were
taken away from him. His Ice Trust
stock was kicked about Wall street and
was worth little more than waste paper.
The remnants of fortune which he had
left We're little more than sufficient to
pay counsel fees,
Every body. Thomas /. Ryan included,
thought that Morse was down and out
But Morse was planning revenge. He
knew that whatever Thomas F. Ryan
owned he utilized to his own profit that
whatever assets Ryan controlled paid
toll 10 him and that wherever Thomas
+. Ryan's hand appeared there must be
loot
SO Morse started to find out what
Ryan was doing with the s40o, 000, COO as
sets OF the Equitable Life Assurance
Society. among which were enough
stock TO control the Mercantile and
Equitable Trust Companies, the Fifth
Avenue Trust Company. the National
Bank of Commerce. besides large hold
ings in the Fidelity Trust Company of
Newark, the First National Bank Of Chi
cago and other rich banking institutions.
Morse found out that after Paul Nor
ton had been put in charge OF the Equit-
able by Ryan he directed what he called
"a reappraisal OF the assets" Under
this reappra!sal some slS0OOOoo was
written off the assets. almost two-thrds
OF which was charged to the semi-ton-
tine deferred dividend fund. This was
the fund from which the holders OF long
time dividend policies We're paid. This
charging off reduced their dividends and
in the settlement OF their policies they
received correspondingy less.

In fact the actual assets continue

Not "Condensed MILK

condensed Milk is different product.
condensed Milk, 'by weight, is hardly more
than half milk. The other half is the sugar
used to preserve it. Because of that sugar,
condensed milk" is not used for cooking.
Van Camps is nothing but milk. We add no
sugar, no starch, no preservatve, The preserv-
ing is done solely by sterilization.
For this reason Van Camps serves every
purpose of milkman's milko cream. 1t is ideal
for cooking. Milk dishes made with it have a
delicious flavor such one never gets from raw
