PIANIST BoWsER.

The Bowsers had finished dinner and
returned to the sitting room, when Mr..
Bowser walked down the hall to- his
overcoat and returned with a small
book in his hand and said:
Mrs. Bowser, Professor Kincardine
happened into the office this afternoon,
and had quite an interesting CONVEX

There's no fakir about Kincardine,
and you have no right to class him with
them. He is a wonderful man, and his
books on palmistry are in the hands of
tens of thousands"
And you bought one of them?'' she
sarcastically queried

Mr.. Bowser, are you silly enough to

the soles of their feet?"

they do!''
Certainly don't. You might just as

professor looked into my hand he told
me all about myself"

Mrs. Bowser. You are natural

Mr.. Bowser went down the hall and
opened the door. A boy handed him
note and departed. Mr.. Bowser
returned to tho sitting room to read
it, and Mrs Bowser saw a look of dis
appointment and chagrin come over
his face. He was notified that a man
who owed him 50, 900 had gone into
bankruptcy and wouldn't be able to

to suppress the news. but Mrs. Bow

Christmas talk by S. NJ. Crothers. The
Bayonet-Poker is his theme, for such an
implement stands by his own study fire,
devoted now to a wholly peaceful pur-

bolical of the coming of international
peace. In Ghosts, Frank Crane protests
against the inherited notions which we
imagine to be convictions of our own.

Few present day writers have had
as interesting career as that of
Ralph d. Paine, whose latest story of
university life, The Stroke Oar, is to
be issued in a few days by the Outing
Publishing company. Mr.. Paine's
college course at Yale is proof con-
elusive that athletics and literary Gull
ture are not incompatible. He made
the varsity crew in 1891 his fresh
man year-in itself an unusual
achievement-and also rowed on the
crews of 1892 and 1898. Moreover, he
has the distinction of being the only
crew man who has ever been chair
man of the Yale Literary Magazine,
and in his senior year won a conspic-

OF all the books from the pen of
DR. S. Weir Mitchell the one that has
gone into the most homes and made
it's appeal to the most hearts, and has
incidentally secured his reputation. is
Wis aad he n9T a atbsr
book save that one, the name of DR..
Mitchell would have been known
throughout the length and breadth Of
this great country. Its chief appeal
is, of course, it's human interest, but
added to that is its connection with
the early history of our country and
its very vivid portrayal Of life in
revolutionary days. DR.. MitchelI's new
holiday gift book, which the Philadel-
phia house of George w. Jacobs & Co.
is issuing this month, deals with this
same period, being a story of Valley
Forge under the caption, "a Venture
in 1777." The tale is not long one,
but it is said to be an admirable piece
of work, while the makeup of the
book is very nearly perfect.
Microscopic is the eye of the mod
ern reader, though general opinion
holds that now he who reads runs.
The unwary author is bound to be
caught mapping. Meredith Nicholson,
who prides himself on his careful ac-
curacy, ventures, in The Little Brown
Jug at Kildare, to speak of robins
nesting above Timrod's grave in the
cathedral churchyard at Columbia, s.
c. Now comes the secretary of the
Historical commission of South Car
DINA to deny very vigorously that the
robins could be there. Robins, it
seems, do not prevail in the Palmetto
state in nesting time. He brands the
author as a nature faker. Mr.. Mich
olson AYERS in reply that he knows a
robin from a reed bird, and that he
saw 'em with his own eyes. Whatever
the truth may be, one would suppose
that the ordinary reader of The Little
Brown Jug would be kept so busy
swallowing whoppers he would not
strain at a robin or two.

are aware, is the first novel that has

conspiracy, in which the leading aris-
tocracy of the ancient Duchy of Brit

coincidence, one of the most attractive

nized as the young royal prince of

Employees OF the Navy Department yes
terday in clearing out a store-room IN
the sub-basement. found large wooden
box. which has been there for the last
twenty-five years.
When cleaned and opened it was found
to contain the relics OF the polar trip Of
Lieut. George w. De Long. Of the navy.
who was one Of the victims Of the Jean
nette expedition of 1879.
The box contained several carblnes,
cooking utensils, mittens, belts, Eskimo
sheath-knives. penknives. two Bibles.
Lieut. De Longs diary Of the Jeanette
expedition, and several other miscella-
neous articles.
The relics were all marked with small
tags. which indicated that they had at
some time been on exhibition. None OF
the old employees Of the Navy Department.
however, have any recollection Of their
exhibition. They will probably be turned
over 10 the Smithsonian Institution.
The box was found lying in the snow
on the Lena delta, IN the Arctic Ocean, by

body was found.

The Jeanette sailed from San Fran
cisco in 1879 for the arctic regions. The
ship was crushed in the fee two years
later. and the members Of the party were
obliged TO escape IN three small boats,
one IN charge Of Lieut.. De Long, a sec
ond in charge Of Admiral Melville. and
the third in charge Of Lieut.. Tobias ".

again heard from
Lieut.. De Long and his party landed on

from exposure and starvation.
Rear Admiral Melyilles party suffered
many hardships, but escaped with their
lives They spent several months search
ing for their comrades, but were able
only 70 recover the remains OF Lieut.. De
Long and his party and the records Of
the Jeanette expedition.
Rear Admiral Melville made three trips
to the polar regions, and was promoted
fifteen numbers by a special act OF Con-
gress OF September %. 1880, for bravery in
