A Simple Expedient.

1t was the custom of Mr.. Cameron
to fall into an easy attitude wherever
he might be. This habit led to an oc-
easional dialogue of a spicy nature,
and the dialogues led to small
square package which Mr.. Cameron
presented to his wife one night.
What in the world are these?" in
quired Mrs. Cameron, as the unwrap-
ping of the package revealed a few
cards neatly marked For Use." and
two or three dozen marked For
Show"
Those, my DEAR" said Mr.. Cam
eron, 'are for you to attach, by the
small pin on the under side, to the
various soft cushions, chair backs and
unoccupied wall spaces in this house.
Then neither my head nor that of any
chance visitor will rest in or on any
object designed for ornament; and
once more, even with Christmas CON-
ing every year, and your friends as
loving and generous as ever, we
shall have a happy home. Youths

FIGHT SNAKES IN A CAVERN
Three Pennsylvania Women Berry
Pickers Fall Into Mine and Bat
tie with Reptiles.

Pittsburg women who went
out to pick berries on farm about
three miles from Latrobe were res
cued late the other afternoon by farm
hands, after being buried in an aban-
doned coal mine for five hours, in
which time they fought with a nest Of
huge snakes. Two OF the women be-
came hysterical on their release and
are in serious condition.
The women were Mrs. Maggie NAL
ey, Mrs. Mary Sarfano and Mrs. Flor
ence Lacey from Latrobe. AS they
invaded an inviting field of berries
the earth suddenly yawned and swal-
lowed them. All three fell about 20
feet through break In the roof of an
abandoned mine and into a pool OF
shallow water.
They forgot their injuries when
they felt the snakes wriggling about
them in the darkness. and. picking up
broken timbers, they fought the rep
tiles and screamed for help. They
killed Is reptiles before their cries
we're heard by John Stump and 0
party of farm hands.
Their efforts to raise the women
we're unavailing, as every time Stump
went near the edge Of the cavity the
earth crumbled away. Finally. the
men unhitched a team, and, throwing
the lines to the women, drew them up
one at time.

TO MARK BRADDOcK'S GRAVE
Citizens Of Fayette County, Pa, Will
Erect Monument to Unfortunate i.
British General.

The citizens of Fayette county,
Pa, have begun to realize at this late
day that they have a historic attrac-
for many years, is worthy Of exploita-
ton. The bones of Gen. Braddock,
who was buried where he fell when
slain by the French and their Indian
allies, near Fort Du Quesne In 1855,
lie in a grave that is unmarked I'M
less II may be the monuments that
nature has appraised. A great oak tree
was once the guardian sentinel, but
that was destroyed by a storm, and
nothing has taken its place. Funds to
the amount of $1,000 to erect a me-
mortal have now been subscribed, and
the brave and unfortunate command
er will have his resting place hon
ored in a country for which he had
very little liking or respect, by peo-
pie who care very little for his mem
ory, but think it might give distinc-
ton to their section to keep 1t green.
Perhaps no more accurate or interest
ing characterization of this officer has
ever been given than that found In
Thackeray's description of the dinner
party at Nine. Esmond's, when Brad
dock and his officers drank wine to
excess, as was the fashion OF their
time, while the little Philadelphia
postmaster" Benjamin Franklin drank
water and laughed at them. Brad
dock was a courageous man, but a
swashbuckler, whose great mistakes
were contemptuous rejection of the
counselo those who knew the coun-
try better than he did, and underra-
ting the Witness of the foe with
which he had 80 deal.

"The Mouse" stepped from the dock
and walked noiselessly to the witness
stand as the district attorney called
his name CURLY. The spectators
gazed with interest at the noted
crook and the detectives looked at
him with open admiration, compelled
by "The Mouse" having outwitted
every officer on the force time and
time again, in spite of his many ar
rests.
How old are your" demanded the
district attorney briefly.
Forty" answered THE Mouse"
casting his beady, black eyes about
the courtroom, quite unembarrassed.
How long have you enjoyed the in
teresting name by which you are so

ney sarcastically.

"The Mouse" showing his sharp.
white teeth in smile.
you are accused Of having started
fight at the butchers ball and of
having stolen a watch in the confu-
sicn," said the district attorney.
What have you to say?"
"The Mouse" had a clever and
plausible story to tell, story he had
worked up artistically in his cell and
which he told with considerable salts
faction, his previous experience hav-
ing given him ease and eloquence. He
grew fluent and animated, falling into
gestures that unconsciously betrayed
the skilled pickpocket. His long,
supple fingers and his flexible wrists
were those of an artist in legerdemain
and their swift, deft movements were
constant contradiction to his story
of innocence. Instinctively his ges-
lures were those Of a pickpocket of
rare skill, deftly relieving an absent
minded man of his watch. 1t was easy
to see how he had come by his name
for he did indeed look like rodent

REPETITION MADE HIM TIRED.
Hammerstein's Operate Manager
Comes to the Front with Real
Tale of Woe.

Siegfried Behrens, Philadelphia man.
ager of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, was discussing with some
friends the try-out of voices at the
Philadelphia opera house one morn
ing. Some one in the party said that
Mr.. Hammerstein's method was
crusher for the aspirants for the
chorus. Most of them had reported
armed with grand opera scores and
other music, prepared to sing at least
one aria, and possibly a whole scene
from some famous opera. Instead
they were permitted to run up and
down the scale and that was all.

rens. 1T is just as sure a way as
any to find out whether one has
voice or not, and a lot the quickest
Besides, one does not take chances OF
enduring the fearful tortures that
were once my lot.
II was selected to try voices and
make selections for big festival
chorus. All applicants had been told
to bring song to sing.
AT the appointed time, no less than
600 applicants showed up, and start
ed them off. Do you know, as an
actual fact. 416 of them sang Harrison
Millard's Waiting, which was then
comparatively new composition.
They sang it in every key, and with
all sorts of twists an cadenzas. Long

founded thing into my ears was

sion in scowling looks and muttered
threats.
A few evenings ago, however, Evar-
isto Apenni, boiling with rage under
the effects of new repulse by the
enchanting Esmeralda, was walking
through the streets of Genzano, in
company with his brother Saverio,
when they met Achille and Cesare
Bernoni, brothers of the fair enslaver,
and the latter's father. A few brief
but exasperating words were ex-
changed, and soon long-bladed knives
were kissing through the air. The
two Bernonis, on the one side, and the
two Apennis, on the other. separated
for a brief moment to get breath, and
then fell to again with redoubled Wig
or.
The second round was brief but de-
feints for advantage been exchanged
before the Apennis' knives struck
home and the Bernonis fell to the
ground MORALLY wounded. But the
battle was not yet over, for a new
combatant appeared on the field. This
was the Bernonis father, who, mad
dened by the sight of his two sons ~
ing on the ground with their life-blood
ebbing away, pulled out his revolver
and fired two shots at the Apennis.
Neither bullet took effect. Achille
Bernoni, however, although lying
wounded on the ground, had yet suffi-
cient strength left to enable him TO
draw his revolver also. Four times
he pulled the trigger. and although he
missed his antagonist, one OF the shots
struck passer-by, Francesca Valente,
who was killed.
Meanwhile, on hearing the firing,
the carbineers hurried to the spot,
and on their appearance the Apennis
took to flight. The father Of the Bern
onis was arrested with the revolver
in his hand and his two sons were
taken to the hospital, where they ex-
pired. After a brief chase Saverio
Apenni was caught by the police, but
so far Evaristo has eluded the vigil
ance Of his pursuers.

Sinfully low wages are paid by many
employers to their feminine workers. l
realize that little can be accomplished by
talk alone and that immediate and drastic
measures should be taken. We women
really do not deserve much sympathy, for
we calmly submit to this injustice without
doing one solitary thing to improve condi-
tions. And as long as we persist in this
stupidity, just so long can we expect to be
imposed upon. For it is certainty that
as long as an employer can find the pres
ent unlimited supply of women applicants
for SIS and 81 week he isn't voluntarily
