Marking an Old Trail.

The work of marking the line of the
Santa Fe trail in Kansas has been COM
pleted, says the Kansas City Journal.
The Daughters of the American Rev
olution have placed ninety-five monu-
ments along the route of the trail, at
least one in every county through
which the trail passed. These monu-
ments were, made of Oklahoma granite
and contained a suitable inscription to
show the purpose. The state and the
Daughters Of the American Revolution
furnished the money to buy and have
the monuments dressed. The Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe road hauled
them free, and the county organiza-
lions had them placed in the proper
positions. The Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution in Colorado are now
at work placing similar monuments to
those used in Kansas along the trail
in Colorado.

FraiIties of EnqIish Style.

One commentator has shown that in
'KenilWorth' Scott had somebody's
mother dying in infancy. OF course
it could not have been the mother, but,
then, Scott didn't say clearly which it
was. Stevenson got off this one: AN
advantage over whom he speaks with .
Fielding, Thackeray, Lamb, Arnold,
Lecl1y, Ruskin and Spencer sometimes
forgot to put in their subject, but hur-
ried on to the predicate. Some Of these
authors, it may be explained, were
originally newspaper men and never
got over bad habits. But Fielding,
Scott George Eliot, Macaulay, Lecky
and Spencer never were reporters.
Possibly the newspapers are not re-
sponsible for all the bad English in the

huntinu the Ram.

Elton college had an ancient celebra-
ton which was gradually discontinued.
The college had time honored right
to demand that its butcher should pro-
vide a healthy ram on election Sun
day, in August, to be hunted by the
pupils. On one occasion the ram actu-
ally jumped into the Thames and
swan across, then galloped into Wind
sor market place before it was caught,
to be killed and eaten at the feast,
More through pity for the boys than
the ram, the hunt was discontinued,
and instead the poor beast was Grip
pied to keep him still while the speech
was being delivered, after which the
boys were free to whack the rams
head with cudgels till it was dead or
they were tired.-New York Tribune.

written notice:
''Nr and Mrs. William Wallace Gray
being on their honeymoon, having been
married today at o'clock at the MARI
borough apartment house, are natural
" little bashful as we'll as nervous.
1t would therefore be considered a
kindness by her mother and his moth
er if their fellow passengers would
show consideration for their welfare.
You may feel safe that any attention
shown them will be we'll received.
''The newly married couple occupy

And THOUGHT IL Cheap.

The veteran actor Macklin was init
mate with Frank Hayman, the emf
nent historical painter, and happening
to call on him one morning soon after
the death of the painters wife, with
whom he had lived on indifferent
terms, he found him wrangling with
the undertaken about the eXtrava-
gance of the funeral expenses. Mack
lin listened to the alteration for some
time. At last, going up to Hayman,
with great gravity he observed, Come,
come, Frank, though the bill is little
extravagant, pay it in respect to the
memory of your wife, for, by heaven,
sir, she would gladly have paid twice
as much for you had she the same OPP
portunity"

turn out. But it seems pretty widely
acknowledged in the clubs that the

the present duke, are by no means
free from uneasiness. There remains
suspicion that, even if nothing comes

there have been comparatively few func-

This afternoon the admirals of the fleet
and the captains Of the various battleships
came ashore and called officially upon
Lord Northcote, governor general of Aus

New South Wales. The American officers

his turn saluted by the American fleet.
This evening Lord Northcote gave a din

There were present sixty-six Americans,
including the admirals and the captains,

CONFIDENCE MEN TURN TRICK
Italian Fruit Vender Taken in to the
Extent of Four
Dollars.

The confidence man IL again abroad in the
land, but this time he is offering to leave
money with his intended victim instead of
keeping the ~latter's cash in trust. Leo
PERI, the Italian who runs a fruit stand
at Sixteenth and Locust streets, is the
latest dupe of confidence betrayers, and
some of his fellow countrymen have the
"swag."
Wednesday, PERI was a~ccosted by two
Italians who said they were going home to
the old country.
We've got more money than we need,
and want you to take care Of what we
shall not use. We will leave as much with
you as you can show"
This sounded good to Peril, who immedi-
ately saw visions Of himself as the proud
possessor of a double fortune. He went to
the bank and drew out his pile" $500,
feeling glad that anyone would trust an
equal amount with him. The money was
counted over by the three men, and another
800 in bank notes added to 1t, after which
a package was made Of the whole sum.
Peril was given the package and put it
inside his shirt for safe keeping, and the
two friends" admonished him to take good
care of it till they returned from Italy.
Later Peril opened his eyes wider than
usual when he found that the package con-
taiped a number of pieces of a daily news
paper, cut and folded. like paper money.
The old game of switching packages had
again been successfully worked.
The police have been furnished descrip-
tons of the two confidence men and are
now trying to locate them.

DUBUQUE COLLEGE PROSPECTING
New Era Dawns for School Conducted
by the German Presby-

Among the views shown on the screen
was one Of Won Vliet. the old Dutch tailor
whose inspiration and efforts gave birth to
the now flourishing school, which Is some
times known as the German Presbyterian
School of the Northwest. Until recently
no apparent growth has been experienced,
but now II seems as IL a new era in its
history was opening.
The faculty consists of eleven profess
sors, and over 100 students are expected
this fall. Last evening pictures were
shown of a large number of graduates,
many of whom are ministers in the north
west. The college has a ten years course,
the last three years being devoted to theo-
logical study.

Omaha for Dubuque, having completed his
summer tour of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa

lege. He was formerly superintendent of
a deaconess' home at Cincinnati for fiji

MYSTERY OF LOST MEMORY
Not an Uncommon Occurrence for
Persons to Forget Familiar
Names.

A young Partisan actress who had for
weeks held the title role in a popular play,
recently, it Is said. was, while on the stage,
suddenly afflicted with forgetfulness and
was utterly unable to repeat the lines Of the
last act, though she had successfully
passed through the three preceding ones.
II is not an uncommon happening with
stage people. lecturers and others, and
seems more likely to occur when the matter
memorized has been so often repeated that
forgetfulness would appear impossible
while intelligence remained.
The same thing happens In a less marked
and conspicuous way to a great number
of people. It's most common manifestation
being forgetfulness. of proper names. A
name ordinarily familiar and just about
to be spoken will vanish from the mind at
the instant ard be to the one about the
utter It as II It had never been. His con-
sclousness grasps at It in vain, and, as II
were, beats against a blank wall. 1t is
always a disagreeable experience, this
momentary failure of the memory, and
sometimes extremely embarrassing. Often
Il happens when the victim is about to
greet an old old acquaintance, or when II
is desirable to introduce two men, each
of whom he knows well.
Doctors do not clearly explain this &C.
casional defect in the mental powers, but
those who experience II know that Is oc-
ours wnen they are especially weary or
overworked, and they may therefore as
sumo that it ls a form OF brain flag and
as readily accounted for as a lameness OF
arms or legs. That is 1t most often dis
played in connection with proper names
is perhaps due to the fact that these are
each held in the memory by separate and
arbitrary action ard not through associa.
ton. and are therefore most easily lost.
But whatever the cause, the multitude OF
persons who forget names will have a
sympathetic comprehension of the state of
mind Of the French actress when she help
lessly sought to find the words Of her
play.-Indianapolis Star.
