It was in the office of one of the big theaters. A lot of actors were hang. ing around, a couple of journalists and a secretary or two. A young woman dropped in for hasty greet ing, and then paused a moment to speak to a very well-known actor whom she evidently met for the first time. The press agents desk was open, and in a corner was package of pictures of the celebrated actor. The latter looked them over, and as the young woman exclaimed that he should give her one he said. with an insinuating smile to the press agent:

WOman's Story of Attempted Killing
 fn Mosque of Omar in Jerusalem.
 In a letter to a friend in this city, the Orange (N. J-) correspondent of the New York Sun says Mrs. Herbert TurreIl tells the story of the attempted assassination on March of Mrs. Moore in the mosque of Omar at Jerusalem, of which she was an eye witness. Mrs. Turrel says she Is convinced that wom- en have no business to enter sacred places where the country holds that they should not be admitted. She says that the fanatic who fired the pi3toi thought he was doing his duty.
 "we stopped at the golden gate oppo- site Solomon's court" writes Mrs. Ter rell. "to have sandals placed on our feet. We of the second party were az sembled just outside of the outer screen, when we heard a pistol shot, followed by four or five other shots in rapid succession. At first thought it was a bomb; then I saw flash and smoke. We rushed ot the right of the mosque in the oposite direction from the firing.
 "Following the report women shriek- ed and there was rushing sound as of people running. Our guide told us he would see what the matter was. We crouched in the corner by a huge pill lar, not knowing how soon an attack would be made upon us. Our first thought was that there was an upris- ing of the Mohammedans.
 The party which had preceded us was unquestionahly involved, as the shrieks of women plainly indicated. We were told that crazy man had fired a pistol and that the women were frightened We realized that there had been a tragedy. but were willing to accept any kind of explanation.
 "The guide said the man had been firing blank cartridges and had been arrested. He then proceeded to tell the history of the mosque and we pre- tended to listen to what he said. We passed out of door into court and here we were mortified to see blood spots and a sheik was mopping blood from the floor.
 "Our guide insisted that 1t was a quarrel among the moslems and that nothing serious had happened He led

us across the court to the fountain of purification. Just as we were about to enter the temple we heard a call that made our blood run cold
 "Our guide hastened to see what was wanted and several sheiks beckoned to us to leave at once. We had our san. dals removed by men, who hastened toward us for this purpose. Our guide told us that he was wanted and that he must leave us. He tried to have us accept the services of dragoman to conduct us from the mosque.
 Members of our party protested and he remained with us. The attitude of the sheiks, as though prepared for an attack, was not alluring. and felt that lat any moment we would be shot at. Our guide finally took us to the Chris tian street, which led us to the Joppa gate An empty carriage passed and several of our party took it and drove to the hotel.
 "We learned the details of the shoot ing later. It appeared that woman member of the party that had preceded us in the mosque had been shot in the face. A priest in the mosque held the man, who was on the point of reloading his revolver and who was within twen- ty-five yards of our party. The car riage used to convey the injured wom- an. Miss Moore, from the mosque was the one in which Mrs Anna l.. Tiche- ner, of Newark, and Mrs. Lebkkeucher, of East Orange, drove to the mosque

The Encouragement or W0mcn.
 When we have the "blues" or are suffering from disappointment of any kind, says Orison Swett Warden in Success Magazine. we are apt to think that there is not much we can do but grin and bear 1t until the discour- agement has run It's course and the suffering ceases.

TABULAT1Ne CENSUS RETURNS.
Mechanism of Machines Which Are
 Labor and Time Savers.

Mechanism of Machines Which Are
 Labor and Time Savers.
 The automatic machine Is the most recent development In census tabulat- ing machinery, and had 1t been per fected earlier much of the hand ma chimes could have been dispensed with, though, in most cases where readings must be taken very frequently, the hand machines are almost, if not quite. as economical.
 Whether in the hand machine or in the automatic, the counters are oper- ated by means of electrical contacts made through the punched holes. ac- cording to E. Dana Durand in the American Review of Reviews. The machines are so wired that facts can be counted In combination with one another. Thus it is possible to count at the same time facts with regard to age and marital condition, so as to show, for instance, on one counter the number of married persons from 21 to 25 years of age, on another those from 25 to 30, and on others the number of single, persons of these two age periods. Each machine, in fact. is provided with large number of count CTS; as many as sixty counters will be used in certain runs" Even thus, however, 1t would be quite impossible to count all the manifold combinations of items at single run" of the card Each card on the average must be passed through the tabulating ma chimes five or six times. In other words, the work is equivalent to tabu- lating approximately 500.0O cards.
 Even the hand machines used at the present census are much more rapid than those of ten years ago. In 1900 the counters used consisted of dials. from each of which the results for each county or other unit of presenta- tion had to be read by the eye and taken down on sheets of paper. The present machines are so arranged that the results on all the counters can be printed at the some time by merely pressing a button. This change abso- lutely prevents errors. which frequent ly arose in the reading of the dials, and also greatly economies clerical labor.

Prominent Part She Is Now Taking in the Development of
 Oklahoma.
HOW A GIRL GOT HER CLAIM
1Eiss Nannette Daisy's Leap from Cowcateher of an Engine .4
 When She ssLocated."

A person of persistent prominence In the development of Oklahoma Is the woman homesteader. Since the first day of the opening of old Oklahoma to settlement in 1889, when Nannette Daisy jumped from a cowcatcher oi an engine on the first train that brought thousands of homeseekers Into the territory and staked off claim in tsthe promised land," the woman home steader has been occupying a front seat in Oklahoma's march of progress. The instances are not few where women have staked off claims, superin- tended the cultivation for years and finally won the prize-a deed to a quarter section of land from Uncle Sam, says a Guthrie (0kla.) core spondent of the Arkansas Gazette
 Leaping from the engine. Miss Daisy climbed a small embankment, made when the. road was constructed. and hastily disengaging herself from a white underskirt, she pinned 1t to a nelghboring blackjack bush and called to the other passengers as the train started ahead with renewed speed:
 ''This is my horlesteadl"
 That tract of land. near Waterloo and lying along the Santa Fe's main line through this State, is still known as the Daisy farm. She made good on the claim, got patent from the gov ernment and held the farm in her name until the time of her death in Chicago several years ago. She attain ed considerable prominence in Okla homa politics in the early days and was a personal friend of many men who have since become wealthy and well known in political and business circles. Afterward she married sol dier. one of the men stationed at Fort Reno, and following his retirement from the service they moved to Chi cago, where she died.
 It is estimated that more than 100 lone women held claims in Beaver County last winter, as a rule living in dugouts and waiting for the spring time in order to cultivate the land. It's q a'plucky thing to do. but it's a pluck that in practically every in stance brings success as well as health and freedom.
 After they have lived on their claims during the period specified by Uncle Sam they make application for final proof, the last thing necessary before obtaining deeds J. S. Fischer. Uni ted States land commissioner at Tex homs, says, as a rule. the women pick the choice tracts of land. Tn this con nection 1t is interesting to note that the United States commissioner at Tyrone. in Beaver County, Is a woman Mrs. Susan Heaiey. Many women homesteaders appear before her to file on claims and make final proofs.
 The woman at the head of farm is in almost every instance a special ist Tn numerous cases they have been exceedingly successful in different lines of horticulture, agriculture and raising of live stock.
