Bold Highway Rebbsr and the First
English Woman Smoker.
Mary Firth, better known a. Moll
Cutpurse, was a notable figure In old
time London life. She had the repu-
tation Of being the first woman t"
smoke tobacco In England.
The length Of her days IL a disputed
point, but it seems certain that she at
tanned the age Of over threescore years
and ten. 1t Is asserted that constant
smoking prolonged her life. A por-
trait representing her In the act OF
smoking forms the frontispiece Of Mid
dIeton's comedy of the Roaring Girl. "
She also figures In other plays Of the
period. -.sc~'.:
Mary was the daughter Of a shoe

and became a noted "hjghwayman."
Among her familiar friends were the

HOW PEARY ESCAPED.
Arctic Explorer Describes an Encount-
 CT With Herd of Musk-Oxen.

There have been several events in my life that might be called dramatic but 1 think the climax came in mid-May, 1895, says Commander Robert E. Peary, U. S. N, in the April Delineator. We had started on a ,500-mile Arctic trip. Four hundred miles from my winter quarters we came to the end of our walrus meat, and there was nothing for it but the liter al dog eat dog By this time, only F were left of the original 80; I cannot express our suffering more eloquently than that. Six more soon followed, and the men had to get into the drag ropes, taking the places of the dogs that had died or been killed.
 1 saw that we must seek the coast and find the quickest way down from the ice cap, for our only chance of saving any of the dogs was to get fresh supplies, only on the coast could we hope to find a trace of living creatures.
 The specter ot famine was drawing nearer. We made our way down the ice slope, three wask aid weary men, with aine starving ans exhausted dogs, in that gaunt and frozen solitude. But we ate little keeping what we could for the 1oss. Cue morning we started after nnhsk-oxea, the specter of famine now seeJnins to treud on our heels. At last, on little terrace below the crest of the white ritge we sp'eu group oi piach uotS thdt showed us our quest was ended. Ths herd was not 200 yards off We counted P bulls, cows and calves One old bull was sta noing guard and two bulls were lock ing horns.
 We were too .remulous with excitement and our eyes were too weak from the glare of the snow desert to trust ourselves to shoot straight at that distance There was nothing for 1t but to rush up to them.
 We rose and dashed forward, grasping our rifles The old bull gave the alarm, and in moment the whole herd was fac ing us, with heads down and horns ar rayed against us. Had l had breath to yell I could have yelled for joy AS it was I only gasped
 When we were 50 yards off the big bull sank his head still lower. It was the sig nal to charge. Without slackening my pace, I pointed my rife, aiming at the back of the neck, above the thick shield of the horns. That bullet meant our lives, If it missed and the herd charged

ATHLETIC FASHIONS AS
 SET BY THE PRESIDENTS
Tennis No Longer In Ascendeny Yields to Golf As Taft Sue ceeds Roosevelt In White House Importance of Pres dential Example to Followers of Sports In Affecting
 General Interest and Activity

question is of large practical interest It is of some importance to them, and not a matter of pure idle curiosity to decide to what extent our presidents set the fashions in sports. and whether during the present administration tennis playing will decrease and golf playing increase in popularity Prior to the Roosevelt ad- ministration lawn tennis in this country had fallen from its once great popularity to the stage where it was regarded as only a ladies game, little more stren- uous than croquet. Golf was steadily on the gain in popular favor, and many ten his players of note took 1t up to the ex- clusion of their former pastime. Tennis courts all over the country fell into what the only ex-president living at that time would have called .'innocuous desuetude.
 Of course the administration at that time was not given to athletics, but 1t may be noted as an interesting coincidence that President Mckinley, while he was never reported as indulging in tennis' not lh- frequently did play golf.
 At any rate such was the condition or affairs when Roosevelt came to the pres idency with his fondness for the then almost forgotten game of tennis. what was the result? Within the seven years of his administration tennis mas not ohiy regained all its former popularity put has even far exceeded II. Only las, se"i tennis team was sent to Australla, d thing which would not have been dreamed of decade ago. People began to ciamor for tennis even in winter, and the indoor courts in the Sixty-ninth Regiment armo- ry, in this city, which each winter are the scene of tournaments almost equalling those held out of doors in summer, are reserved so far ahead that it is practically impossible to get one.

New York, April Ills the tennis ball era about to wane and the golf ball era about to wax politically and economical ly. as well as in the field of sport? Do our presidents act as arbiters of fashion not in the matter of clothes, like King Edward, but in the field of sports? These are questions which are being asked by many persons who are not interested Ill either game, as well as great many others who are devoted followers of one sport or the other. Among the question: CTS are those who remember Roosevelts tennis cabinet and note the efforts that are being made in Washington to construct a Taft golf cabinet. Some of them insist that the golf ball, hard and far-going, is more symbolical of Roosevelt. and the larger, softer tennis ball of Taft. Others there are-members of the famous Ana nias club, organized by our only living ex-President with free membership for all persons named by him-who assert just the contrary, claiming that the ten his ball will represent Roosevelt in that it is full of wind and light weight for It's size. while the golf ball, like Taft, is solid to the core and heavy weight to boot
 In the end If one wishes to take as the symbol of the administration of either man one of these two implements of sport
 inc choice it seems will rest largely on his personal attitude. There Is apparently only one point of agreement, that it is far more desirable to be hit by a tennis hall than a golf ball. But although Ro0se- welt gave some pretty hard knocks, Taft has as yet had no chance to demonstrate his ability in this line So even here the analogy is indeterminate. Perhaps the question is of no great moment anyhow.

WHEN COLLEGE GIRLS FAIL.
They Are More Concientious But Less
 Original Than Men Students.

The original argument against "the fe- male mnd'' was that it could not cope with the college curriculum. Now they seem to think that the college curriculum can not cope with the female mind says Madge c. Jenison in the April Delineator. We have it suggested in all seriousness. as the dean of women at Chicago notices with demure acidty in a recent report, that women should be required to take more work, to offset the extra drain, ex- ecutive. Journalistic and athletic, which comes upon men.
 But, after all, the work of the univer- sity girl Is not just what it seems, any more than is her apparent capture of the university in numbers. It needs no ac- counting for. It is the heritage of her his- tory One sees in her scholarship the same docilty which Is to be met in the life of women everywhere, which makes 1t so difficult to organize them against any labor abuse, which keeps them tied to miserable marriages-this natural ten dency to do what is set before them, and to do it. if not necessarily with distnc- ton, at least to go on doing it, and, for the most part, with devotion and thor oughness. The very certainty of this inclination is it's limitation. A college girl reads what is in the course; she does it all
  with an air of fnality if you talk to her about Thackeray We do not have Thackeray until next year. A professor at Kansas said that he found his girls studying books, his boys studying sub jects.
 There is another quality In women which is deceiving and whl<S makes for good work but not for the best. They have. as 1t seems, a certain esthetic sense even intellectually, which prompts them always to turn out thing which is neat and nice to look at. A professor of sociology told me that he was reminded anew of this quality with every set of theses which came up to him. He read the first five of women. each time, with a new delight They were so complete, so finished, so smooth and filed down. But 1 can read 50 of men with less weariness than 50 of women.'' he said If they are not so well done, they are fresh.

your clubhouse?" continued MT. Taft.
 Well, you can all right" answered MT. Travis, his local pride coming to the front, "and if you couldn't the hotel is about three minutes wScd and 1t would be big enough I guess. Anyway it's bigger than the one you're in now and whole lot pleasanter too. You can dress there"
 "Dress-dress," cried MT. Taft but I forgot-I haven't any other clothes here.
 That stumped MT. Travis He could fur nish anything up to the clothes, but as he glanced down at his own substantial underpinning and then compared 1t with the amplified eXpanse of MT. Taft's anat- omy, he decided not to press the subject further And so the famous match did not come off, although 1t may next sum- mer. But the incident is as characteris- tic of the new Presidents fondness for his chosen pastime as was that of Pres ident Roosevelt in taking long horse back ride on the last day of his term.
 It is around New York that the greatest number of golfers are hoping for the eff feet of the Presidents s stamp of approval to put golf ahead of tennis once more. This is only natural since 60,OO0 or 7o.O0O golfers make use of it's nearby links, the real estate value of which exceeds $5O,000,- UVU. I ne great I1dJOTlly Ol titoe diS Ou Long Island. which is indeed regular golfers paradise, with Garden City, the home of MT Travis, the center in large part, because of it's hotel facilities.
 Other localities, however, are already showing the effect of President, Tsfts fondness for golf. At Soarsdale, up in Westchester county, a million dollar hotel is to be constructed in the middle of famous golf course-a golf hotel, as 1t were-and all through that territory golf is on the boom. At Lawrence Park West only short train ride from rhe city. a new 2SO-acre course is shortly to be opened. Practically all the well known courses are extending their facilities and increasing their membership at an un- usual rate
 If MT Roosevelt were not gong to Africa things might be different, since with his Oyster Bay home on Long Is land he might put up characteristic fight for his favorite pastime, but with him out of the way 1t seems likely that President Taft's example will set the tide of athletic fashion again toward golf. It is a curious coincidence. too in this con nection. that ex-President Roosevelt Is turning to just the same pastime as did ex-President Cleveland-that IS shooting though on a more elaborate scale,

A Popular Dye.

From Illustrated Bits.
 A small boy was one day sent for pennyworth of indigo dye. He stopped to play marbles on the way and quite forgot what he was sent for. As he was determined to get it, he went into a chemists shop and said to his assist ant:
 What have you people been dyeing with lately please?'
 "Influenza," was the answer.
 "Ah, that must be it. said the boy. .'Please give me penn worth.

door courts hereaoouts, is a Mecca for winter tennis players also. All over the country more persons are playing tennis than ever before. Hundreds of them even go south for early practice. In word, tennis is once more supreme, and it's re- turn has all come during the administra- ton of the ex-President whose favorite game it was. F
 If Roosevelt has done this by setting the athletic fashion, what Is to be looked for from a golf-playing President? If golf spreads as rapidly in the next four years as tennis in the past seven, nine out of every ten men, women and children in the country will be indulging in the ancient and honorable game by 1912.
 Perhaps not so much will be heard of President Taft's -'olf as was of President Roosevelts tennIs, when the burning question of the hour seemed to be whether on the fenced-in White House court he had or had not defeated famous En- glish prelate, or whether he would be vic torious over the German Emperor, could such a match be arranged. But President Taft is no whit behind in enthusiasm Tor the pastime which he champions. During his recent visit to New York only few days before his inauguration, when any one but an enthusiast would have worn a. 1urrOWeu DrOW, It was OIiiy tHc ilch of a pair of trousers that kept him from going out to Long Island for game of golf.
 7 The matter happened this way. One of the first persons to call on the then Pres ident-elect was Walter J.. Travis, ex-ama- teur golf champion of the United States and England, and probably the best known player in the country, who is personal friend of Taft, MT. Travis lives at Garden City, on Long Island, spot which his personal fame has done almost as much to make the greatest golfing cen ter of the east as has the presence of two golf courses and club houses and it's fla nous country hotel Not even duffer at golf would think of coming to New York without visiting Garden City trying one or both courses, and admiring the tro- phies which the skill of Travis has brought there.
 Come out to Garden City, Judge, and we'll get up foursome," said MT. Travis.
 The Judges eyes twinkled as he re- nled. well, I'd certainly like to. But you see I came only for the day and haven't any clubs.
 "Oh, that's all right" answered Travis, .well fix you with clubs.
