The pastors wife went first, and Bet

of girls. The place was quite ditfer-

large and white and bare. The steam
from boiling coffee seemed to fill the
air. and it was very close and warm in
the room.
The girls were disappointed also ana

Bette stood filling the cups while the
demand seemed ever to increase.

Then, slipping into the tan raincoat

OLD-TlME PHOTOGRAPHY.
Not a Work of Art, but Specimen
 Are Treasured as Priceless.

An event was the taking of the first photograph in the olden days, when photography was hampered by pitchforks and long exposures
 There are few good baby pictures of our fathers. The fond mother or father sit bolt upright, frozen or petrified, while between them is a very starchy little dress surmount- ed by very blurry little spot which represents a composite of several partial likenesses of the hopeful.
 But it was with the child of 10 or 12 years that the old-time pho tographer succeeded best; the child that has reached the age capable of feeling the responsibility of having picture taken, an exchange says. Every old album, such as used to grace the center table in the front room, parades before you long ar ray of these conscientious young peo- pie undergoing the terrible ordeal of sitting" Loving mothers spent hours combing those smoothly plas- tered locks tightly back and bind ing them uncompromisingly behind

them, hence the unusual develop ment of the jaw muscles.
 The men of 600.0O0 years ago were without doubt long armed. Their legs were short. and they had abnor. mally thick necks. IL is clear, too think. that their brains were far larger than has previously been con. cedcd to be the case. + seems req. sonably certain, too. that they were able to speak to each other, for from many examinations of the brain cavity of the skull I have been able to deduce quite clearly that the cells controlling speech were there

WOMEN 6oo,ooo YEARS AGO.

Profes sor Arthur Keith, curator of the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons in London, who has been engaged in an examination of the famous prehistoric skull unearthed at Gibraltar some years ago, an nounces his conclusions in the mat ter. The chief of these conclusions is that the skull is that of wo- man who must have lived at least 6O0,O00 years ago.
 This skull has been the object of the examination of many scientists and many theories have been evolv ed as a result Professor Keith ap, preached the task of lifting the veil from the past with a new system of intricate measurements and all the resources of science at his back and he has compared the Gibraltar skull with all other available prehis toric relics.
 T have little doubt that the skull is that of a woman,'' he said, and discardng technicalities, from the size of her brain she must have been shrewd one-probably woman too, of considerable spirit. One car reckon pretty accurately also the time at which she lived. It must have been at least 600,000 years ago
 From the shape of the jaws and the fact the muscles of masticatioT were remarkably strong it is possl ble to deduce what this prehistoric | woman ate. Nuts and roots proba bly entered very largely into hel diet. She was in the habit of eat ing things which required a grea amount of mastication before mucl nourishment could be derived iron

Jim's Diplomacy.

Harry Laughlin, the billiard eX- pert, says the Cleveland Leader, told at an exhibition game in Toledo a billiard story Once, when l had my own parlor in Columbus,' he said, T was good deal disturbed by the loss of chalk. Chalk disap peared at a tremendous rate, and said to my helper:
 Keep a better eye on the chalk Jim. I'm no millionaire.'
 "'I know the gents wot pockets the chalk, MT. Laughlin,' Jim said but they're reg'lar customers. guess you wouldn't want me to of fend 'em, would you?"
 Well. mo- I said; I wouldn't You might give them a gentle hint though Use your diplomacy.
 Jim, l found out later, used his diplomacy that night. He walked III to one of my best patrons that had just pocketed a piece of chalk, anC said:
 "'You're in the milk business, ain't you, sir?'
 Yes. Why?' the patron answered
 "I thought so,' said Jim, iron the amount of chalk you carry away The boss likes enterprise, and ht told me to tell you that if you want ed bucket of water now and theI you could have one and welcome

OENOUNCES SHARK RACES.

DenOuncing shark races" as held along the waterfront as cruel in the extreme, the San Francisco SO ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty 10 Animals has announced it's in tention to put a stop to the so-called sport"
 On Investigating the complaint fl- ed with the society. officers found that the practice is common among the youths who loiter about the city front and wharyes After the sharks are captured deep grooves are cut
 ill the flesh of the fish and entirely around the body near the tail and stout cords tightly fastened to the grooves. Floats of box covers. shin gles or fragments of driftwood are then made and the fish turned loose. For a time the fish evince great ac- tivity, due to the pain of the wound ed flesh. and their maneuvers delight the spectators and add to the fun .of the barbaric practice.
 The s. P C. A. argues that the shark is a scayenger, obtaining Its food along the sea-bottom, where it feeds upon dead sick or disabled fish and garbage. After exhaustine themselves in efforts to get free they usually float about until they die of starvation, is the complaint
 The society does not oppose the destruction of the sharks said See retary McCurrie today, but they cer- tainly should be killed quickly and humauely and not subjected to the long lingering death thus inflicted upon them.'

Doyle Fought With Lynch.

Jack Doyle, however, was a ter TOT. He probably had as many clash es with umpires as has Clark Grif- fifth, and went much further than the manager of the Reds. One incident l can remember that the present head of the National League, when umpiring, found it necessary to punch Doyle in the nose. This hap pened on the National league grounds in Boston. Umpire Lynch made a public apology the next day in front of the grand stand for his nasty ac- ton, but l think he insinuated that he would do the same thing again under a like provocation.
 Whether that little fracas and a memory of Doyle's wellknown hot headedness remains with Lynch now is a question.
 Hank O'Day, and I consider him one of the best umpires when he wants to be such, when a player did not throw any fits in his efforts to smooth the paths of any umpires and neither did Emslie nor Eason for that matter. They are only get ting some of their own medicine now.
 There have been old players who have made failures as umpires, any quantity of them in fact. There were Tim Keefe, Jim O'Rorke and Roger Conner who made very poor decis- ions.
 But when old players do make good they invariably make the best and it is President Lynch's intention to give that class the first show hereafter
 And he is wise.

THE ADVANCE OF THE NEGRO

A little more than 40 years ago the negro was made free. Then he had almost no acres of land; now he has an acreage nearly as large New England. Then he had almost no homes; now he has 100000 homes Then he had few farms; now he has 200,O00 farms Then he had no insurance companies; now he has S5 Then he had no undertakers now he has thousands. When the American negro was made free only per cent. could read or write; now 57 per cent. can both read and
 write Then he had few churches now he has 26,000 churches. s.-Book CT T Washington.

Flies Across Channel and Takes
 Passenger.

''SS TNS' 700 SiiaIlIISl anu axes
 Passenger.
 DEAL. Eng, Aug. r. It has been reserved for an American cit iZen to perform one of the most daring feats in the history of ayi- ation
 John B. Moissant of Chicago flew across the English channel from Calais to Tilmanstone today, with a passenger and by this achievement far surpassed the feats of BlerIot, De Lesseps and the English aviator, Rolls, who afterward met his death at Bournemouth.
 The two-man flight from France to England was the more astonishing Moissant learned to fly and he made so few flights and was so little known among air men that even his nationality was unknown. He was reputed to be a Spaniard and it was only when he landed in Eng land that it was revealed that he is a young Chicago architect,
 To make the feat still more sur pr sing, Moissant was totally ignor- ant of the geography of his course He had never been in England and was obliged to rely entirely upon the compass, while crossing the chan. nel in the teeth of a strong west erly wind.
