The Lady and the General.

The old southern city of Columbia,
S. c., is the home of a courtly and
a chivalrous people. They pride them
selves on their manners, do Column
bians. But there is a story told down
there concerning a bit of gallantry
on the part of "one of those dem
Yankees, Suh," which it is admitted
could not have been surpassed by the
courtliest s%outherner.
The story is to the effect that a
great ball was given at the South Car
DINA capital evening during the
reconstruction era, and while many
southern hearts were still embittered.
A number of northern officers were
present at this ball, and in the course
of the evening one of them was in.
troduced to a naughty southern lady,
whose antipathy to all ~northerners
was we'll known.
The lady acknowledged the intro
duction with a gracious inclination of
her head, and then drawing herself
to her full, magnificent height, said
proudly:
But, Sir, l would have you know
that I am still an unreconstructed
rebel"
The Yankee officer bowed low.
Madam" he said, II am sure that
SO admirably constructed a rebel as
yourself needs no reconstruction"

MEMORY Of RAINBOW trout.
Incident Which Seems to Prove Fish
Has More Intelligence Than Is Gen.
orally Believed.

That a rainbow trout has a memory
and that fish will seek medicinal wa
ters when sick has been proved
by an occurrence which would have
provoked doubt were it not from the
extraordinary proof attached to the
incident.
Three years ago Barney MCGEE, one
Of the best-known railroad men in tho
west, was visiting Hot Springs, suffer
ing from rheumatism. Several days
after reaching there he was
walking along the bank of the river
some distance below the springs, when
he noticed a small rainbow trout near
the bank.
MCGEE watched the trout for some
time, then cautiously went nearer the
water. The trout looked at MCGEE
and the railroad man stopped down
and picked up the trout, the fish max.
ing but a feeble resistance. More in
humor than in seriousness MCGEE de.

tel that the fish was suffering from
the same complaint as himself, andshe
would put it in a bathtub and have
its rheumatism driven out from its
fins and tail. He did put it in warn,
water, and for three days fed it on
worms that ne dug up near by. The
trout seemed to recognize its bene-
factors. and much to the surprise of
everyone, was able on the third day
to flash around the tank with all the
speed of a healthy fish.
Having formed an attachment for
the fish, MCGEE decided to put it back
in the river again, but before doing
so secured a fine piece of silver wire,
which he carefully wrapped around
it's tail. @
A few weeks ago Mr.. MCGEE again
returned to the springs, and, taking a
daily walk along the river banks, he
was astonished to see a big fish with
in ten feet of where he stood. Mr..
MCGEE reached down in the water and
pulled it out.

the hotel, to again do a good Samari-

Superstition About Friday.

Probably the most notable of the
many reasons given for the wide.
spread belief that Friday is an un-
lucky day is that it was on a Friday
that Christ was crucified. The super
stition has been fostered, too, by the
popular notion that Friday is a
changeable day, or, as Chaucer calls
it, "gerful." He says:
".Selde is the Friday al the wyke
alyke."
An old Shropshire couplet contrib
utes thus to the superstition:
"Friday's a day as'll have his trick;
The fairest or foulest day Of the
wick"
AS a proof of the universally of the
superstition among all nations and
ranks, it is curious to note that the
shipping returns Of all countries show
a much lower sailing rate on Friday
than any other day of the week.
And yet the history of ages goes to
prove conclusively that it Is purely q
superstition.

UTTERS WISE WORDS
THE MESSAGE OF A THINKING FE.
MALE UNTO MAN.
Some Things She Hates and Some
She Insists Upon Having-Fair
Sex Likes Men Capable Of
Attaining Power.

For better or for worse, nc man ever
yet understood a woman, or ever will.
Men may know this, but they do not
realize 1t, or they never would imagine
that they could improve a woman
by telling her about shortcomings.
A woman hates to be corrected by X
man
o man, thoughtlsss, thankless. in
consistent man, this world would be
a happier place If you ceased to go
about trying to make women more
sensible.
The sensible woman gives man his
due. She admits he is stronger
stronger physically, stronger in mind.
The very sensible. woman admits that
he should use his heaven-sent power.
Man should be the wise lord of wom-
an; he shuld be her stay in weakness;
he should direct her steps. Men OBJ
ject to the mare who is the better
horse. But women hate to be forced
to be chiefly responsible for pulling
the cart of matrimony.
Woman, I say-and I do not speak
as a fool-likes we'll enough to be
lorded. What she hates is weakness
in a man. She hates lack of decision.
Finding it, she develops into a bully.
Then, If only the poor, ~henpecked hus-
band knew 1t, there is nothing in the
world more ardently desired by the
pecking hen than that the worm
should turn, and bully her, and over.
master her, and force her to give in.
And now I have some eight or nine
other wise words to speak to you, o
humorless man. And l say to you
that women like men who do things.
Unless you should make a false deduc-
ton I will put it this way: A woman
hates a man who does nothing.
1t is given to all men to do. A WON.

the money that a man has inherited.
and will share with her, but the man
who cannot make money, and can do
nothing but part with it, she holds in
low esteem. 1t is another example
of the lacking humor of men that they
should laugh at women who fight for
the hair of a Kubelik, or kiss the
ground trod upon by a c%onqueror.

Where Birds Are Safe from, Guns.

or the east coast of Louisiana are
islands where government protection
gives the birds a safe home. The re.
suit Of this protection has been mar
velous. Herbert X. Job writes in
Harper's of his trip to these wonder
full islands, where herons, terms and
laughing gulls cover every inch of
the ground since the protective policy
has been in. practice. These birds
eventually leave the islands and peo-
pie all our coasts; but before the pro-
lection they were being rapidly exter-
minated for millinery and other pur-
poses. Mr.. Job took some unusual
photographs from a tiny tent which
he set up among the birds.
