A Woman,s Way.

When a man goes out to buy col lar he comes back with collar and perhaps a necktle or two. When a woman starts out to buy a collar she returns exhausted with a new silk waist pair of gloves, some skirt binding, a cake of soap, q paper of pins, some window curtains, e sewing machine and a refrigerator. - Mark Twain in Tom Woods Magazine.

 From the time he came home to din ner until bedtime arrived Mrs. Bowser was puzzled over Mir. Bowsers- atti- tude. He was good natured. He chuc- kled at intervals. She looked up to find him grinning. Now and then when be thought he wasn't observed he would lift up his arms like one sighting gun. She puzzled and bothered over the matter all the evening, but asked no questions, nor did she learn of the little scheme he had ou hand until next mOsning Then at the breakfast table he Smimgly asked:
 Mrs. BowSer have you any idea what day this isy'
 "Its no day in particular as far as l remember" she replied,
 Its great day, Mrs. Bowser, a great day. In fact, it may be said to be ont of the great days in American his.

 "You mean you are going out into the country to blow your way through snowdrifts three feet deep all day and come home without having even seen blue jay"
 "I mean, my dear woman, that l am going out Into the country to shoot hundred or more rabbits and have heaps of sport. There Is some snow, but that belongs with sport, and don't you worry about blue jays.

 Mrs. Bowscr had started out to be sarcastic, but had ended In encourag ing him. The wife who sees that her husband Is bound and determined should fall In line with his ideas. Half an hour after breakfast Mir, Bowser stood before her arrayed iu his shoot ing suit, and he was in such good spirits that she was almost glad to see him go. He departed to take subur ban car and be landed among the snowdrifts five miles away, and he had been gone hardly more than an hour when he called her up by tele' phone to say:

which Mrs. Tenant or any other per-
son in the room might interpret his con-
duct, Clifford was looking radiantly
happy as he stood by James side, and
latter a very old-established custom
among lovers had already commenced
making amends for his own ill-doings
by preferring some counter charge
against her.
"I really did not think you would
have forgotten your promise so soon,
Miss Grand. It was worse treatment
than expected at your hands,
"What treatment, Mr.. Mohun?"

hour before TIE carriage came, but l
did not know you really meant to
dance it with me. and-and-I thought
you seemed to be enjoying that last
waltz pretty well, Mr.. Mohun."
Whereupon Clifford bent down over
her. and said something in too low a
voice for any one but Miss Grand to
hear. Whatever it was, it set Jane
busily to work upon picking small
pieces from her bouquet, and gave
Miss Agnes Tenant a worse opinion
than ever of her extremely objection
able manner toward the heir Of Yatton.

but his eyes were on James blushinG

"Miss Lynch and l are bent upon
having one of our accustomed battles,
and mean to irave you young people

"Jane, of course; knowing where to
find me between the Dances" inter-
posed Miss Lynch, with decorum.
II will see to that myself" cried
Clifford. "At the end of each dance
Miss Grand shall be brought back in
stantly to your charge without incur

which staircases and refreshment
rooms expose young people. Mr.. Fol

And perhaps the proudcst, the most
golden moment in Miss Lynch's life
was this; when. leaning upon the arm
of the vicar of Chestcrford, she fol-
lowed Jane and Mohun across the en-
tire space of the Yatton ballroom, and
with all eyes, or so, at least. her imaG-
ination fondly hoped, beholding her on
the summit and pinnacle Of her fame!

into their evenings occupation.

We're free at last to leave the card
room, and to think solely Of themselves
and of their own interests.
For a minute or two they were silent;
then, as is not unfrequently the case

cisely the same moment.
"How very pretty Aggie Tenant

Which irrelevant observations went
to prove that their thoughts were, in
reality, occupied with the same sub

"Sweetly pretty" repeated Jane, pur-
suing her own subject pertlnaclously.
"Now that l see her of an evening
don't wonder at all the admiration she
receives. And how we'll she dances,
Mr. Mohun!"
"Does she, Miss Grand?"

TREED BY WOLVES,


From dusk to dawn, with the ther-
mometer away below zero, two trap
pers clung to the branches of slim
tree while pack of twenty raven
Gus timber wolves kept up an inces-
SAINT chorus beneath. The men were
Tom and Patrick Murphy and they
had their experience in the Silver
Mountains. near Port Arthur, On
tario.
They started off into the woods
to Tom Murphy's trapping headquar-
ters. but before they had gone far
they heard the baying of the wolves,
which gradually became more dis
tinct as the pack collected and got
closer to them. The Murphys thought
little of the matter until they rea-
lized that the wolves were On their
track, following them at good speed.
Two shots failed to scare off the
leaders, so the Murphys got into the
tree, but only just in time, as the
leaders snapped at their heels.
In his hurry to reach safety Tom
tore off portion OF his clothing on
broken branches, and without food
or overcoats the men kept in the
tree all through the night, which to
them seemed to last for ages.
When morning came the wolves
scattered out of sight, but the hun
ters managed to pick off nine of
them, for which they collected $135
in bounty here to-day, being SIS for
each wolf.
OF late timber wolves have become
very bold, owing to scarcity of small
animals which they feed on, and sew
eral instances have been recorded
since Christmas where they have fol-
lowed men and made efforts to attack

GUAM LIKE ITS
NAVAL GOVERNMENT

GUAM, July 1.-THE battleships
Maine and Alabama, composing the
service squadron, sailed today for Ma
Mia. During the stay of the battle
ships here a board of officers has in
quired into the conditions of the island
and needs of the people, with view
to offering recommendations as to the
government of Guam. Intense enthu-
siasm was aroused at public hearings
and mass meetings, which We're pre-
coded by professions with banners.
The people petitioned for citizenship,
modified laws, and schools, and were
unanimous for continuance of naval
government.
Hundreds of well-behaved sailors
came ashore during the stay of the bat
tleships and were cordially received by
the people of the island.

RAILROAD TO CLIMB ALPS.
Electric LiHe Up the JunRfrau VIE
BE Completed in a short
Time.

An electric railway which. when an-
ished, will be the highest in Europe
is now nearing completion up the
Jungfrau in the Swiss Alps. 1t will
be seven and half miles long and its
terminal station will be at an elevation
of 1850 feet. II is for the most part
constructed through tunnels. and the
last station will be connected with
the summit of the Jungfrau by lift
242 feet in height and a winding stair
case. The power for producing the
electric current will be derived from
waterfalls on the mountain. The start
ing point OF the line is at the Scheidegg
station, at an altitude of $50 feet.
on the Wengern Alp system. and the
first station is the Eiger glacier. 7.645
feet high. A doctor will be in attend
ance at a certain altitude in order to
attend to passengers and advises them
or not according to the state OF their
health as to the safety Of their jour-
neying to the summit. The ascent VIII
occupy about one and ~three-quarter
hours. and the stations are to be lux
uriously fitted up, so that passengers
who may feel any Ill effects from the
rarefied air will be able to rest in com
fort before proceeding on the journey
