His prowess as a swimmer is well

when Robe dives for shells.
The tourists watched with admira-

the bottom, but their amusement turn
ed to horror when he suddenly found
himself in the unyielding grip of the
abalone. The onlookers above saw the
diver, directly beneath them writhe in
apparent commissions of pain. With
the desperation born of the knowledge
of the almost inevitable death await

shellfish and tried in vain to wrench
his hand from under the cruel edge.
When finally, as his ebbing strength
was almost gone, Robe succeeded in
breaking the stone itself, a wild shout

cies of Japan, which it was thought
indicated an expectation of trouble,
as fatal to Japan's credit as a bor-
rover to large amounts in the for
eign field. In other words, Japan has
been told that money will not be forth
coming for the building up of am
army and navy beyond such standard
as it is reasonable 10 expect Japan to
maintain, and that the financial world
would prefer to see Japan really and
in earnest developing her resources for
the betterment of her people than tax
ing those people for an army and navy
which, rightly or wrongly, are said to
be destined for aggression sooner or
later.
The reply of the Japanese Govern
ment to this seems to have been that
the financial programme OF the future
contemplated very large reduction or
expenditures on the army and navy.
But those who were in a position to
lend money apparently rejoined that
they would prefer a guarantee as to
the expenditure of the money loaned,
and added that in common with so
many people in Japan they thought the
naturalization of the railroads quite as
great mistake as too rapid and am
bilious plans for army and navy.
The outlined proposition, therefore
to which the government of Japan has
lent an ear and which it is now con-
sidering, is that a syndicate of Euro
pean financiers will assist Japan IN
working out the financials problem OF
the future, provided the Japanese Gov.
eminent is content that this financial

"Sence! Mortal, you are insolentl Behold mel am Titana, Queen of the Fairies
 The tiny woman stood on the couch, With her eyes flashing and wand outstretched.
 T dare say you wonder why have brought you, an ignorant child to my home"
 ''Yes Mrs. Titania"
 Don't say Mrs. Titana' I am not a common place, everyday Address your Majesty"

Whatever you wish for shall be given you. At the end of twenty-five minutes shall return to this room and dismiss you. The wshing-time will then be oyer You must remain on this couch during that time. Be very careful about the desires you express!"
 Titania vanished and Dora flung herself upon the soft cushions They were delightful, and she felt like going to sleep. But, of course, that would de. stroy the chance of future wealth. So she rubbed her eyes, and tried to think Five-ten-ffteen min utes passed and Dora had not wished for anything.
 ''I have heard something about this before. won der if ten million dollars would be enough. It would buy great many dresses, I sure. Oh, how wish that dress of mine had been mendedp'
 At that moment her plaid gown dropped besides the couch, neatly mended than Dora could have imagined. But the sight of the mended gown brought comfort to her heart.
 "0h how could have been silly might have wished for money enough to buy hundreds of plaid dresses; and have only this old mended thing. But there two wishes left Now, wonder what had better say next. It would be nice to have money and beauty and be singer like Jenny Lind. But cant have all three. Which had better ask for frst-money or beauty? I'm sure 1t wouldn't be nice to have millions and-be, as ugly that Miss Harris. Perhaps I'd better take beauty next Golden hair and blue eyes, like Fair Rosamond would be at tractive; but dark stately person, like Edith Plan tagenet, would be dignified. What a strange sound that wind makes outsdeit is almost like dog howling Oh, I'm afraid my poor little Sancho is lost. I do wish he were here!"
 At these words joyful bark was heard, and Sancho's soft nose rested on her hand. But Dora greeted him with such burst of tears that the poor dog was frightened, and tried to comfort her by whining. The duet dismal failure that Dora was forced to laugh. although she had only pre- cious wish left

What foolish story! It's so silly, for nobody would have wished for such stupid things. only wish that fairy would come to me! would ask for ten million dollars first; and then would wish to be the most beautiful girl in the world; and then I would like myself and all my friends to be young forever But there fairies. Only children believe in them now" and Dora sighed if her fourteen years advanced age indeed
 Then her head sank lower on the cushions, and Miss Dora soon in the land of dreams, where she had strange journey.
 She had started for school morning, as usual, and when she opened the door leading to Miss Mor timers ha she astonshed to find that the en- trance beautiful corridor. carpeted with soft green velvet and lighted by twinklng pink lanterns that hung from crystal ceiling. As Dora hesitated not knowing what to do, tiny person, dressed in white satin and wearing god-frnged cap, appeared and, making low bow, said "Her Majesty will see you in the Diamond Room.
 Dora prepared to follow the little page. On and on they went until she almost out of breath. At last he stopped before heavy curtain. The tnkle of bell heard, land then the page held back the vel

''what shall I do now? I am almost afraid to breathe, for fear of wishing for something silly.
 Just then a brilliant idea seemed to come to her. and Dora fairly shouted T wish for ten more wshes as Titania entered the room.
 The Queen rushed to the couch and said What do you mean? I never heard of such wish. The fairies will be shockedi"
 But you said that might have whatever wished for" said Dora, triumphanty.
 Titania drowned, and began to walk hurriedly up and down the room. Dora could hardly keep from laughing, for the little form looked funny. whrling across the floor. The diamond ornaments flashed ma liciously as if delighted with their owners plight Dora had already begun to plan for her ten wishes. but she was rudely disturbed by the page, who en- tered and commanded her to rise. The Queen, at last paused, and addressed herself to Dora:
 T must not decide this matter without referencs to the King It is departure from the rules in fairy land"
 Titania left the room and when she returned she followed by the King, who looked very cross. He dressed in crimson velvet and wore crown almost covered with rubies
 "So you the presumptuous being who has dared to wish for more wishes," said he.
 Your wife the Queen said that might have what ever I wanted"
 "Well-well-welll A council of the fairies must be summoned, for such a thing has not happened before."
 Just then the King rang bell, and-Dora sat up to hear her mother say Dora Ferguson, it Is dinner tme and you have been asleep for almost two hours You looked so tired that have mended your dress myself"
 Just then Tom appeared with a small furry object under his
 I've found your foolish dog. I don't believe any would want to steal him, and you needn't have made a fuss anyway"
 But where Titania, and the black fairy and-?" said Dora, in bewildered way
 You have been dreaming about fairies, eh?" Tom said, laughing.
 Dora laughed too and they went down to dinner in good humor. When they reached the dining-room, Dora found white soup awaiting them, and the most delicious stewed mushrooms.
 "Its very queer said Dora she went to sleep that night. I'm sorry that didn't get all the money but I'm glad that worried the fairies I wonder if I'll dream about them again
 But from that day to this, Dora Ferguson has met her Majesty, Titania.

 Dora did not like this form of address In fact, the little man. In spite of his satin garments had not been brought up to be respectful But there was not time reprove him for his rudeness and Dora umid- ly entered the Diamond Room. At first the blaze Of light great that she dazzled But when she recovered from the first shock of spendor she ex- claimed, Why, it's all diamonds" The floor and walls made of pure marble, and the ceiling was studded with diamond stars which shed the light that had almost blinded Dora.
 There was rich divan covered with purple velvet at one end of the room and on 1t was seated little creature who was wearing gown of white silk, fas- tened with small diamond pins As Dora approached, this small woman said:
 Don't come too near Do you know who am ?"
 No; have not seen any one like you before. If tempted to call you one.'
 How do you know that there are no fairies?"
 "Oh no one believes In them nowadays, except very small children. used to think that they really lived, but know better now"

markedly accurate study Of General
Cronje, Boer leader in the recent South

Streete says it took him seven years
and cost him several thousand dollars
to get his act into it's present shape,
but he adds that the approval of his
audiences is worth all and more than
he paid for 1t. both in time and in
money.
The Boer general is favorite with
the actor. Speaking of him the other

of Euterpe and Thalia again will hold

disrobing act at the Orpheum last week
failed to excite even mild curiosity. Yet
a few years ago Charmion, in this self
same stunt, was the sensation of New
York. Stage standards have changed
rapidly in recent years; with amazing
speed in the past twelve months. After
all, modesty is merely a state of mind,
and morality a question of geography
When Charmion, high upon her
trapeze, begins to remove her street
costume there is not an individual in
the audience who doesn't know that
when she completes her undressing she
will still be clothed as completely as
aerial performers ordinarily are clothed
while upon the stage. Thus curiosity
is killed and the disrobing attracts only
perfunctOry attention.
While Charmion was tossing her gar
ments stageWard last week, not many
blocks away Salome was dancing and |
comforting before an eminently respect
able audience in an eminently respect |
able house. About this Salome, how |
ever, there was some doubt. The audi |
ence at first did not know just where |
nudity ceased and heshings began. |
They could see the dancers bare arms |
and neck; her bare feet and ankles; |
and then came the lure of the veil.
AS a matter of fact this particular |
Salome was much more particular than
