IDENTIFYING THE LADY.

The young minister temporarily offci-
ating at Hankins' Falls for the summer
met Ehud Lefingweil as he was walking
to church on Sunday morning.
'How do, Mister Leffingwell?" he
cried, cheerfully. ..Going to church this
beautiful morning?''
"Hay?" asked Ehud, who was pretty
hard of hearing. "Hay?"
Are you : coming - to -church?"
roared the minister.
"Nuh," Ehud responded. 'Iookin'
fer my caow. She must "a got out the
barn las night. UNLOCKED the hasp,

"Come-on-to church., - the minister
shouted cordially, land after preaching
I'll tell the congregation, and they'll help
you. You'll get your COW much quicker ="
Blocks! I'll go ye," said Euhd,
heartily, and he fell into step with the
young minister. At the church door he
was overcome by modesty and, declaring
that he didn't have his Sunday-go-t to-
meetin' clothes on, insisted upon sitting
in one of the most distant pews.
''He didn't hear the sermon at all, but
he could tell when it was over by seeing
The young minister fold up his manuscript
and put it away. This done, the young

Ehud raised his right hand in a great
leathery scoop behind his ear, but still he
heard nothing.
my dear friends, - said the minister,
lit affords me great pleasure to tell you
that on Tuesday evening next, at the
hour of six O'Clock, there will be cele-
brated at the home of the brides parents
the wedding of Mr. Edward Stoutenboro,
one of our most esteemed and promising
young men, and that charming, estimable
young lady-as beautiful as she is good

AS the minister ceased everybody was
astonished to see Ehud Leffingwell arise
in his pew.

Saving FACE"
A Chinese Story by Lincoln Colcord.

A Chinese Story by Lincoln Colcord.
This is the title of Chinese Story nv
Lincoln Colcord in the July American
Magazine of very remarkable quality.
One of its interesting features in the de-
scription which Mr.. Colcord gives of the
method of what the Chinese call Saving
Face" The following is an incident in
in the story which illustrate this Oriental
custom:
nichols and were coming down Ped
dar's Wharf one afternoon bound for
my vessel, when We saw singular occur
renee. A chinese sampan-man had lust
finished beating his wife, and thrown her
out on the dock. She was sitting flat on
pile of lumber and chanting in a monto-
nous voice, while fifty or hundred men
gathered around as if watching some
interesting ceremony.
"'This is China, said Nichols at my
elbow. Behold and learn the wisdom of
an old philosophy. This is the secret of
the land. -
What's she saying?' l asked. 4
don't understand
"1 won't bother to translate he
said. In general, her remarks are de-
scriptive of her honored lord and master.
Just then she touched on his respected
ancestors. To tell the truth, it wouldn t
sound pretty in English; her figures are
what you might call excessively COLO
quial. The woman has imagination.
Look
'She scraped in the dirt of the wharf
until she had gathered little pile, spat
upon it, and shaped it into the image of a
man. This she addressed in swift and
gutteral sentences. The ring of men
drew closer. Suddenly she knelt and sub
jected the image to an amazing indignity
I looked around, fairly thunder struck,
, and noticed that not an expression cross
ed the countenance of single bystander,
not an exclamation escaped from any of
their lips.
the old man had got rather the worst of
it, he said, linking his arm in mine.
'I' m all adrift, | confessed What's
she trying to do?'
"'She' saving face he answered.
She's squaring the account with her con-
science; she's balancing the books of
honor. It's very subtle thing, but four
| hundred million people live by it. The
| beauty of it is, she'll go back to her hus-
band and the incident will be closed.
Absolutely closed, you understand. She
won't brood, or harbor any ill-will, or
even remember. He beat her, and took
himself away. Immediately she saved
face. These men were witnesses; but
they weren't necessary-it can be occom-
plished alone. It's simply tremendous
victory over human nature; do you get
the point? To us who are always fighting
and never settling anything, it may lack
the glamor of false honor, but think of
the philosophy of the idea, think how
much trouble and unrest and regret it
saves! It's power deep enough to save
race from the devastating grip of
time"

The Transformation of Texas.

Writing in the issue of Harper's Week
ly for June 26th, Henry A. Norwood
recounts the remarkable development
which is taking place in Texas. Towns
of substantial size have sprung up in a
year, where formerly there was nothing
but wilderness of forest or plain. A
desert region has been irrigated from a
vast subterranean lake and turned into a
garden. 1.-THE most spectacular boom Of
all is going on in the Gulf Coast country, :"
says the author. ''No one knows what
the limit will be. Whatever has been
tried has blossomed, water is plentiful
and seemingly inexhaustible, the sun is
kind, and the people are flocking in so
fast that they cannot be counted. Is it
any wonder that they shout instead Of
talk?"

CONGRESS CAN CHECK DiStG CRAZE,
New York Police Head Urges Home Pro
lection Aaainst Cocaine.

1Ss" tWA TOuce Head UfXS HUME thu
lection Against Cocaine.
New York, July 18th: Declaring that
al the police heads of the country would
be greatly helped if practically prohibit
tive tariff was placed on foreign cocaine
and internal revenue restrictions on the
domestic supply Of the deadly drug, The
odore A. Bingham, police commissioner of
this city, has written Senator Aldrich
urging that congress give this protection
to all American homes. The spread of
the cocaine craze in New York City has
become widespread and insidious,''
General Bingham points out, and already
his department has listed sixty-three
drug stores as suspected of extensive
illicit sales to victims of this drug. If
this national evil is to be checked, it is
the opinion of the police head here, Con-
gress must at once follow the recommen-
datlon OF the American Health League
and shut off by tariff tax the secret
sources of supply from abroad by which
unprincipled dispensers are at present
able to evade all local laws and circulate
cocaine to rapidly widening circles of
drug fiends.
With this plea from New York's police
head, many similar communications from
local authorities, who must also fight the
cocaine curse, are being received by the
Chairman of the Senate Finance Com
mittee. Philanthrophic, medical and
charitable organizations throughout the
country are joining the American Health
League to urge that this vital opportun-
ity to guard the physical and moral well
fare of every community in the land be
not neglected by their representatives at
Washington. The leaders of this new
movement are asking every citizen who
would protect his home town from the
drug plague to write to Senator Lodge,
who is calling the matter to the atten-
ton of the Senate.
Startling evidence of the grip which
the cocaine habit has taken upon COM
munities in every section of the CONT
nent has been presented to Congress.
1t is estimated that some $50, 900 ounces
of the powerful drug were consumed last
year in this country, considerably more
than half of which is known to have gone
to meet the cravings Of the victims of its
deadly habit Though its use is more or
less confined to the lower and more vicious
classes, it is recorded that school chill
dren have been approached and taught to
use the drug, while distinguished physi-
clans and other professional men have
fallen before its insidious powers. In
almost every one of these cases, the men
who pander to the drug victims have
been able to conceal their source of sup
ply by importing cocaine from London or
Hamburg.
Only removal of the source of supply
of this drug can cure its victims of tie
habit, medical men declare, and such a
result could only be brought about by the
proposed duty of $3.50 an ounce on for
eign cocaine. Backed by the reputable
physicians of the country, and the faith
ers and mothers who seek to shield their
communities from this subtle drug habit,
the American Health League is to-day
looking to Congress for this particular
form of real home protection.

FASHIONABLE FOOTWEAR.
Footwear is very elaborate this
summer. Almost every frock re-
quires different sort Of shoes, ties
or slippers. Tan ties and pumps are
again the mode for morning and gen.
eral outing wear White canvas ties
are worn with white and pale tinted
gowns, while suede leather in almost
every imaginable color is strongly in
evidence both for ties and slippers.
Slippers in black or smoke gray suede
are the favorites, though they are
also made in shades to match each
costume. Bronze is another popular
material for smart shoes and ties
this season.
THE MODERN BEAUTY BATH.
The beauty bath is better under
stood and much more generally en-
ployed than ever before, and nothing
is so refreshing when the mercury
climbs uncomfortably, or when one
is exposed to the sun and dust in
travelling Or exercising, as bath to
which a small quantity of Eleto vio-
let toilet water made by the Eleto
Company land vouched for by Lord
& Taylor of New York City, has
been added. This softens and deli
cately perfumes the water and at the
same times supplies tonic to which
the skin responds quickly, taking on
che clearness and glow that denote
