We also wish you to know of the at
fractions of the city of Seattle.
Seattle is one of the finest located
cities on the Pacific coast. 1t is the
railroad and commercial center for the
northwestern part of the United States,
being connected with the Orient by fine
steamship lines. Seattle is also the
gateway to Alaska, and she furnishes
the greatest part of the supplies and
clothing that are used there.
The Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition
will be unlike all other fairs because
of its beautiful location on the shores
of two lakes, and it is surrounded by
majestic snow-capped mountains
West Of Seattle are the Olympic
mountains. and on the east are the Cas-
cades, in which is Mount Rainer. the

water lake in the heart of the Olym-
pics; another to Victoria, passing

The senate probably will consider
and pass the census bill during the
week. but it is not believed that the
measure will be discussed at any
length. The disposition in the senate
in the senate is to accept the bill as it
passed the house. That measure elm
mated the noncompetitive feature of
the bill, which was Objectionable to
President Roosevelt and which, it is
understood, was equally so to Mr.. Taft,
and it is believed that the senate will
follow the example of the house in not
again raising the question. Monday
in the senate viii be devoted to the
reorganization of the senate commit
tets. The republican members of the
committee on finance will during the
week continue their informal consid-
Grafton of the house bill in the hope
of having their amendments well under
way when the bill is formally received
from the house
House.
The Payne tariff bill, which has only
been read in the house. will tomorrow
be laid before that body for discussion
and Chairman Payne of the commit
tee on ways and means will make the
first argument in support of it, This
viii lbe the beginning of the genera
debate. and it is expected that this
order viii proceed for several days. Mr.
Clark, the minority leader, will fol
low with the first speech in opposition
and these will in turn be followed by
other members of their respective par
ties until all who desire shall have
spoken It is not expected that III,
general discussion will be prolonged
and on this account Mr. Payne thinks
it will be necessary to bring in a ruI
for its limitation. Apparently he is no
so hopeful regarding the consideration
of the bill for amendments. Whel
this order is reached the provision
will be discussed in speeches of no
more than FIVE minutes duration, bu

Red Tape and Fire Eiahtina.

Confiagrations are hard to fight in
Constantinople because Of the excess
Of red tape. AS recently as ten years
ago much time was wasted in getting
the fire brigade to work because leave
from Yildiz kiosk had to be obtained
before the signal could be fired. Fur
ther time was frequently wasted on
the spot because the Turkish firemen
had a way before beginning operations
Of making a leisurely oriental bargain
withsthe people whose property was TO
be saved. In one case when n village
caught fire in the winter the entire
place was destroyed and many lives
lost through cold and prlvaticn owing
to this chaffering.

DANTE'S LAMP.
Florence Does Penanoe For Her Perse-
cution of the Great Poet.

The city of Florence has just done
penance for a crime committed nearly
600 years ago. 1t has placed an ever
burning lamp in the tomb of Dante at
Ravenna.
Florence banished Dante prescribed
him, confiscated his property, sentenc-
ed him to death, rejected with scorn
his plea to be allowed to return to the
city he never ceased to love in spite of
its cruelty to him. Ravenna gave him
home in life and sepulcher when he
died. Florence repented Of her bitter
ness when too late She prayed Ra-
VIENNA to allow the body Of the poet to
return to her, but Ravenna refused
Florence appealed to the pope, and he
ordered Ravenna to surrender the
bones of Dante, but Ravenna priced
these bones like those Of a saint, defied
the pope and built over the body she
had cherished simple but stately
tomb. To wipe out the stain upon her
reputation proud Florence hired Boo
caccio to give readings of the Divine
Comedy" from rostrum in her mar
ket place. but she has ever been jeal-
Gus of the privilege Of Ravenna in pos
sessing the bones Of the great poet.
Florence has at last humbled herself,
and her act Of penance was performed
the other day in the presence of vast
assemblage from all the cities of Italy.
A hanging lamp Of silver severely sim
pie in its design was made by a fa-
nous artist and paid for by popular
subscription Of the Florentines. This
was borne to Ravenna with great cere-
mony and suspended from the vaulted
roof of Dante's tomb, where 1t was
filed with oil and solemnly lighted by
the mayor Of Florence. AS voluntary
votive offering the city of Triest-Ital-
ian at heart though in Austrian terri
tory-gave a silver jug in which to
keep the oil for the ever burning lamp.
Other cities gave the wicks and burn
ers and lamplighters, and there were
speakers representing many towns,
but all of these were accessories. The
event which Italy was celebrating was
the long delayed penance of Florence.
Henceforth, Just as the lamp burns
forever before the sanctuary in which
the blessed sacrament reposes, so will
the Florentine light shine before the
grave where Dante sleeps, day and
night, century after century, so long
as men read the poems that have been
called Misunderstanding Bennington in
New York World.

A Monkey Doctor.

A monkey in the zoo at De Soto park
is entitled to the degree of NJ. D., ac-
cording to It's keeper.
One Of the monkeys in the cage
swallowed a marble. 1t had presence
of mind enough to suspend itself by
the tail and hang head down in an eff
fort to let the marble drop from its
throat. and, failing, it called in the
simian language, and one of it's broth
ers responded.
The doctor monkey rammed its slen-
der arm down the afflicted ones
throat and extracted the marble. The
relieved sufferer seized the marble
from the doctor and threw it from the
cage with all it's strength.-Rome (Ga9

long. The pocket must, of course, be
Just as long as the motif of the design.
The materials needed are three pieces
Of cardboard about nine inches long.
The length, however, depends upon the
design Of the paper which is to be
used. The cardboard Is just the
length of the design. The three card
boards are of graduated depths. They
ace straight on three sides, and on the
tsp they are cut in the shape Of the
design Of the paper. Sometimes tho
top line is straight and rounding, and
again it will have large scallops. A
design should not be chosen which has
too small a pattern.
All of the cardboards are covered Oh
the outside with the bordered paper
aad inside with plain Grape paper.
Perforations are made at equal dis
tances in the three pieces along tho
bottom and sides. The perforations
along the bottom are close enough to-
gether to permit Of the sections of the
pockGt being laced together. Only
thred holes are necessary along tho
sides. Ri3bHp Ire coiol Of the flower

The Turks Wives.

Though Turk is allowed four wives
he rarely has more than one, both on
account of the expenses and also for
fear Of placing himself at the legal
mercy of so many women. He is also
most anxious to be considered on a
level with the men Of other European
countries, and he is aware that a plu-
rality of wives is a fatal barrier to his
ambition in this respect. Monogamy
is very surely gaining ground, and the
harem life is losing its hold on the
people. This is especially the case in
Constantinople, where the native aris-
tocracy is brought into closer touch
with the customs Of other races, and
there is no doubt that in time it will
be thing of the past.-London Chron-

Army Sinners.

To call a man "a warrior in dressing
gown and slippers" is now only half
as opprobrious as 1t used to be. The
French war department has decided to
equip the cavalry with felt slippers as
part of the field kit. 1t is only neces-
sary to supply the dressing gowns to
make the old terms of stigma accu-
rately descriptive Of the men who do
the fighting. The war department has
proved by experiment that nothing
rests the soldiers so quickly after a
hard drill as to take off their boots
and go about in loose slippers. AS
many a man grown to honorable ma
turity can testify to the value of the
slipper as an instrument Of reform, 1t
may happen that the slipper will be as
potential as Red Cross conferences in
the horrors of war

PAPER CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
How to Make Attractive Desk Blottsrs
and Wall Pockets.

and Wall Pockets.
Make your Christmas presents Of pa
per- One Of the most attractive Of
these paper articles is a desk blotter.
The usual size for a woman Is eighteen
inches deep by fifteen wide. The mate
rials necessary are one piece Of card
board Of the dimensions mentioned and
q second piece half an inch less in each
dimension. The pad is covered with
lowered paper on the lower side and
has fowered paper corners. Plain
Grape paper is used to cover the top of
the pad.
The largest of the cardboard rectan-
giles is first covered with the flowered
paper. The paper is folded over the
edge to a considerable depth, at least
an inch and half being desirable Its
edges are then pasted neatly down,
care being taken to make neat corners
The smaller cardboard rectangle is COW
cred with the plain Grape paper. which,
for instance, may be yellow If yellow
fowered paper is being used. -Four
right angled triangles which are three
inches on the two even sides are then
cut from stiff and very heavy wrap
ping paper and covered on one side
with plain and on the other with fow-
cred paper. These are the four corners.
When they are covered a margin Of
paper is left on the equal sides, and
this is REINFORCED by a narrow strip of
muslin. This margin is turned over and
pasted to the upper side of the cavd-
board, which is to form the bottom OF
the pad. The upper part of the pad IL
then laid on the lower part, and they
are pasted neatly together. The cor
ners, of course, go underneath the pad
corners. The pad corners are not past
ed down along their long side, as it is
desirable to have them free so that
new blotters may be slipped in and out
nt will.
a. wall pocket Of paper may be made
wAich contains three pockets. For this
purpose the bordered Grape paper
which comes in rolls may be used, or
you may select paper napkins whose
borders are in the form Of garlands,

he was only smiling. MY dear child
surely you are dreaming
She looked at him with the Devil
dercd feeling that he was fatty con
tradicting himself. And yet she could
remember he had not shaker his head
at her. He had only nodded. Could IL
be that her cherished imagination had
played her a trick at last? But the
next moment it occurred to her that
somehow she had been led away from
her first question.
Then have you seen him. Harryg'
she Insisted.
mol" He jerked it out so sharply
that it startled her, but h stuck to
her subject.
And you wouldn't nave minded my
telling him you had been at that ball?'
There was a pause while Harry
looked at the fire. Then Look
/ here" he burst out, did he ask you
about it?'
"oh, no." she protested. Il only just
happened to wonder"
He stared at her as if he would
have liked to shake her. But then he
rose from his frowning attitude before
the fire, came over to her, sat on the
arm of her chair, and, with the tip OF
one finger under her chin, lifted her
face; but she did not lift her eyes.
She heard only his voice, very low
with a caressing note that she hardly
knew as Harry's.
ut isn't that l care what o say to
him. The fact is, Flora, / suppose
was a little jealous, but l naturally
don't like the suggestion that you
would discuss me with a stranger"
She knew herself properly reproved,
and she reproached herself. not for
what she had actually said to Kerr of
Harry-that had been trivial enough
but for that hayward impulse she had
to confide in this clear-eyed, whimsical
stranger, as it had never occurred to
her to confide in Harry.
III raised her eyes. Certainly I
shall not discuss you with him."
rs that a promise?"
Harry, how'you do dislike him."
"Well, suppose l, do?" he shrugged.
you've used up twice your twenty
minutes" she said, land Clara will be
scandalized."
He stopped the caressing movement
of his hand on her hair. "Are you
afraid of Clara" he asked.
Mercy yes! She was half In
earnest and half laughing. But then
I'm afraid of everyone"
He put his arm a~ffectionately around
her. But not of me?"
oh she toll him, you're a great
big purring pussy-eat and l am your
little mousse
He thought this reply immensely
witty, and Flora thought what a great
boy he was, after all.
