The finished obeIisk was then tinsled
with silver paint and touched UP here
and there with red and blue. The cross

This ornament stands in the home OF
the champion whittier. 1t rests on a
three-legged three-she!ved stand, which
was also whitfield by Nichol.
Il made that stand out of broomsticks,
said the whittier. Inside the broom
sticks you will see, If you look closely, a
dozen or more little wooden balls Those
balls are made of the same broomsticks
and were never outside the three posts
around them
AS one enters Nichols little parIor on
18th street southeast the first thing that
catches the eye is Il mahogany stand e!ab-
orately engraved with vines, flowers and
inscriptions. Near the mantle is a small
stool with a top inlaid with small blocks
Of different colored wood. Both of thes3
articles were made by the whittier. On a
stand in another corner is a wooden cur
and saucer made by Nichols. A four
leafed clover in bas relief is on the saucer
Each leaf bears the name and date Of the
birth of some member Of the whittier 5
family.
The walls of the parlor are adorned
with picture frames Whitfield by Nichol
In handmade, highly ornamented wooden
cases there rest the whitfield and painted
emblems of almost every known society,
Or"a-ization or club. The picture frames
were c0~'z% from borders used around
newspaper illustrations.
Cane-making, however. is one of Mich
ols' specalties and on almost any day he
can be seen carving emblems, queer
looking figures or letters OF a stick OF

II hardly know which cane was the
best" said Nichols when asked which lie
considered the handsomest. I've made
scores of canes. but l forget them after
/ finish them. The cane l made for Presi-
dent Roosevelt was a fine one and
worked carefully on it.
The wood was brought from Cuba by
a soldier. 1t was mahogany and the sol
dier said it was cut from tree only a
short distance from the grave of Haml-
ton Fish. Beginning at the bottom OF
the cane and ending al the top I carved
out the names of all the offices held by
Mr.. Roosevelt. Around the cane I carved
an ivy vine. At the top placed a crock
ed handle engraved with the cavalry en-
blem. When / presented the cane 10 the
President several senators and represcn-
tatives were present. Mr.. Roosevelt
thanked me for the cane and compliment

for work.
The rich American going abroad counts only
one ON the passenger list but he must be carefully
considered in any estimate
He spreads out the chart upon his desk. An
exceedingly anxious-toplease agent of the steam
ship company is at his side. Here is something
up near the bow that is just right-so the steam
ship says. Not for minute says the man
who has the last say. 1t is too far up in front
The motion of the boat would put him out of busi-
the first day What else?
Oh exquisite suite amdships. It's great
The Countess de Spitzbergen never takes any
thing else when she is going to coming from
America. Beautiful parlor. mahogany finish Bed
in ivory. bathroom in baby blue. Maids
quarters. And the rate for two adults and one
servant is only Sl,700
viii the gentleman take it?
Indeed he will not. The Countess of Spitzber-
gen may travel in the hold if she likes, but no
baby blue mahogany can lure him to point
the engines. Why. didn't he come over once
in suite thus located? Didn't the incessant
coughing, wheeling, trembling and sneezing of the
machinery nearly drive him wild? Not a wink
of sleep from the time he went abroad until he
got home. Friends thought he had been sick
when he showed himself in the street.
Oh very well, Here's an equally beautiful
suite far removed from the engnes-back toward
the stern. Occupants of these apartments often
call for the captain to ask what makes the boat
go, because they can hear noise nor feel any
vibration. Highly recommended by the best ply
sicians to nervous patients. Price, the same.
Did any ever hear of such stupidity? Here
patient mutmillionaire has explained in de-
tail that he cannot travel at the bow of ship
because the motion is too great and the agent has
shown him a suite the stern. What's the
difference between the bow and the stern. any
way? Isn't each end balanced in the middle
where it will go up and down like the end of a
walking beam? Well. steamship who
doesn't know any more than that go back
home. Mr.. MultiMillionaire will travel by some
line that at least employs persons Of intelligence.

THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS.
Unselfishness In Life Is the One Thing
That Will Transform All
Things to Gold.

kindness of God and man-that ma

pose of life-personal happiness.
Would you possess the magic secret
of the alchemist which transforms all
things to gold?
1t is unselfishness-or, to use bet
ter word. self1essness.
He who goes forth bent upon being
always kind, always helpful, in the lit
tie daily events of life. will find all
skies tinted with gold. all his nights
set with stars and unexpected flowers
of pleasure springing up in his path

And all his tears shall turn into

TROUBLE IN ROYAL PALACE.
Tidines Borne by Amateur Actor SUI.
fcient to Lead Hearers to Ex-

The Shakespeare club Of New Or
leans used to give amateur theatrical
performances that were distinguished
for the local prominence of the actors.
Once a social celebrity, with a gor-
geous costume, as one of the lords in
waiting had only four words to say:
The queen has swooned' AS he
stepped forward his friends applauded
vociferously. Bowing his thanks, he
faced the king and said, in high
pitched voice: The swoon has
queened."
There was roar of laughter: but
he waited patiently. and made an
other attempt:
THE sween has cooned.
Again the walls trembled and the
stage manager said in voice which
could be heard all over the house:
Come off. you doggoned fool
But the ambitious amateur refused
to surrender. and in a rasping fall

he screamed: THE coon has

Aid Fight Against tuberculosis.

At the recent meeting of the Ma
tional Association of Bill Posters, held
in Atlanta. Ga. it was decided to do
nate to the campaign against tubercu-
losis 81 100000 worth of publicity.
The bill posters in all parts of the
United States and Canada will fill
the vacant spaces on their $500 bill
boards with large posters illustrating
the ways to prevent and cure con-
sumption. The Poster Printers asso-

worth of printing and paper for this
work. This entire campaign OF bill
board publicity will be conducted un-

nearly one O'Clock and not a word was said about

For man of his brusque threats Mr. Shaw
has very mild and Misunderstanding ghost.
Halle Erminie Rives has ghost that might
be of Oriental origin, for it resembles an antique
and elaborately carved of Chinese design
more than anything else. Perhaps it is meant
for the urn that contains my shades the novel
ist laughingly remarked.
OF course one may just care to have the
ghosts of ones friends and not particularly those
of people celebrated in the art, literary or polit
cal worlds, and then it will be a simple matter
to fill up ones ghost book, for the making Of
ghosts will be found to be quite a novelty at
tea other social affair." and taken along with
ones hand luggage on an ocean voyage ghost
book will prove source of endless amuse-
ment, while it will make a lasting souvenir OF
the trip. The ghost book itself is small affair
that be gotten in the pocket of an overcoat
be carried easily in mum or big hand
bag, that always take it along with
out any trouble.
When you ask for ghost signature you prepare
the page for the writing by folding it and the
person whose ghost you after writes directly
on the line of the fold. A stub pen which holds
large amount Of ink is best for this purpose.
as the size and mystery of the ghost depend
largely upon the ink. After the name is written
the page is folded together again without blot
ting and 10, the ghost appears. Try it and see!
1t is not necessary to have book. One
have the signatures written separate sheets
of paper and collect them. but must be
taken to soft paper that will absorb the ink
readily. These separate sheets then be
pasted into scrapbsok, but the little ghost
book itself will be found more convenient. At
the top of a page in the ghost book is a small
dotted line for the date and below appears
another line for the writing Of the name after
the ghost is made. that after all in a ghost
book one gets genuine autograph as well as
the spook signature

Chinese empress had just been received.
George Bernard Shaw hasn't time for ghosts
or interviews or writer folk at all, he says. yet
this most inconsistent OF men generally gives
his interview and sees the writer person. and
here we have his ghost. Mr.. Shaw generally
makes it uncomfortable possible for the
interviewer before allowing him to be admitted,
but after that the genial blue-eyed 1rishman Is
irresistible and readily forgives him any
thing that has seemed rude. The writer sent a
note asking for interview with Mr.. Shaw in
his chambers Just off the Embankment in Lon
don last summer and in response Mr.. Shaw char
acterstically wrote
NV Dear Miss -: will have ten minutes

Your Salary.

The universe pays every man in his
own coin; if you smile, it smiles upon
you in return; if you frown, you will
be frowned at; if you sing, you will
be invited into gay company; If you
think, you will be entertained by
thinkers; and if you love the world
and earnestly seek for the good that
is therein, you will be surrounded by
loving friends, and nature will pour
into your lap the treasures of the
earth Censure, criticise and hate. and
you will be censured, criticised and
hated by your fellow men.-N. W.

{ Miss Emma C. Thursby has one of the most
remarkable ghosts of all, and for beauty and

artist, which idea absorbed when ! visited some

ghosts at all, but she very much impressed
by the appearance of her titled name when her

ghost in each and l suppose l must be
woman of a number of selves or else there are
a number of warning ghosts in my ancestry. for
each one of my signatures produced a ghost SO
totally different from the others that one would
scarcely believe that they came from the same
