Not What They Seemed.

A marquis who was in residence for a few days at a Partisan hotel discov- cred that her pearl necklace, worth S15,OOO, had disappeared from her room. Suspicion fell on messenger boy, who admitted his guilt, but de- clared that the necklace had been taken from him by his mother. The mother corroborated her sons state ment, expressing astonishment that so much trouble should be made about ga trashy little trinket," which, she explained, looked so cheap and tawdry that she had given it to her daughter in-law. This young woman, In her teens, displayed an equal contempt for the 'sbits of things" She told the po- lice that she had given the necklace to her little girl to wear. but she had removed about half the beads. All the missing pearls were found in box among buttons and hooks and eyes.

 Ways of the Alligator.

Late one afternoon, when the lagoon was aglow with the wonderful copper hues of a Papuan sunset, some one pointed out to me long dark streak moving swiftly across the water POO or 300 yards away, and in the streak just the slightest speck of black. It was an alligator at last!
 Now you see why you can't go swimming in the lagoon" l was told. ''They are worse than sharks. They don't show themselves and give you a chance. They just come down un-- derneath you and pull you down, and that's all you or any one else knows about 1t. They don't eat you at once, only hold you under the water until you are drowned or half pulled to pieces and then store you away some where under a bank or In a hole till you are high enough to be savory- just as you would do with a pheasant, you know. He's a knowing beggar, the alligator The shark isn't in Ii with him for brains and savvy."-W1de World Magazine.

The Spider.

Of all the solitary insects l have ever seen the spider is the most saga cious, and Its actions to one who has attentively considered them seem al- most to excel belief. The spider is formed by nature for a state of war. not only upon other insects, but upon its fellows. For this state nature seems to have formed 1t with singular perfection. It's head and breast are severed with a strong natural coat or mail. which is impenetrable to the at tacks of every other insect, and it's lower parts are enveloped tn soft, pliant skin which eludes the sting even of a wasp It's legs are terminated by strong claws not unlike those of foo- ster. and their vast length. like spears, serves to keep every assailant at a safe distance. Not worse furnished for observation than for attack or de fense, it has several eyes. large and transparent, covered with horny sub stance, which, however. does not i'm pede its vision.-Scotsman.

latest nominations. To be exact, the
president had only four vacancies to
I'LL. The fifth he created himself by
advancing Justice White. already a
member of the court, to the chief JUS
ticeship.
Although the president has power .
name cabinet officers, foreign ambaJ-
sailors and ministers. governors Of ter
ritories and practically all federal ex-
ecutfve and judicial officials, the place
of Justice of the supreme court IL
rightfuIfy regarded as the highest in
his gift. The strange feature Of the
Taft nominations is that, although
himself Republican, three out OF FIVE
of the men he has appointed are Dem
ocrats.
Edward Douglass White is the son
of a governor Of Louisiana and on his
mothers side is the grandson Of a
former marshal of the District OF Co
Iumbia. He was educated In Catholic
schools, finishing at Georgetown col
iege. While yet a student he became
fred By the war fever and enlisted as
a Confederate soldier. On the stat OF
General BeaIe he served in the Siege
of Port Hudson, was captured when
the post surrendered and was placed
on parole. After the war he studied
law and was admitted in 1858.

He was but one of q long train of
suitors, but rumOrs have it that with
his logged persiStency the future JUS
tee was winning his way to favor
when a richer swain from the east ap-
peared on the scene, with the usual

There were wedding bells, but not for

II 1872 Mr.. White began his career
in politics by being elected TO the state
senate for four years. This was in
reconstruction days. and there was
plenty OF excitement. The young SEN
ator became an active partisan of Gov

senatorial term in 1876 was appointed
by Nichols as associate justice of the
state supreme court, which he held
until the new constitution vacated all
state offices in 1879.

Dancing With Male Partners and Drinking
Coffee Diversions of Greek LaborerS Here

There are 400 Greeks in East Mo
line and only four Grecian women.
On Saturday nights the men congre-
gate in their cafes" to play "thir-
ty-one," drink coffee and dance.
The coffee houses have dancing
floors and monographs, and on spe-
cial occasions music is furnished by
volunteer orchestra, a violin or
clarinet accompanied by a Grecian
mandolin And the sons of Hellas
dance with each other with all the
fervor and etiquette of a senior at a
college formal.
There is much enthusiasm and
courtesy when Greek meets Greek on
the polished floor. Male partners are
escarted to and from their seats with
all the bowling, scraping and palaver-
ing that would be accorded a prin-
cess at a court ball.
These natives from the home of
terpsichore know how to execute
their Grecian dances. All are more
or less graceful, but some give a
more intense rendering Ometimes
working themselves into such q fren-
zy that the only outset seems to be
the kicking out of a window glass,
which act never disturbs the dance
and joy is unconfined.

! doubted 1t is difficult to determine
whether it is fluid or solid, but the
/ flavor is exquisite and a cup is al
most as stimulating as a glass OF
wine.
One of the dancers, while talking
to an American whose curiosity had
lured him inside, said that in Greece
there are few saloons and that the
men spend their evenings in the cOf-
fee houses. Here soft drinks are
served and dancing is INDUCED in.
The Greek laborer in America
counts his wages not in dollars and
cents but in Grecian francs. If a
man receives $3.50 a day he consid-
ers that he is getting the equivalent
of $3.50 in GreCian coin, which fact
coupled with simple living, accounts
for his willingness to labor for low
wages. If he can save $1,000 in
American money he can return to his
native Troy and live in ease the re-
mainder of his life because of the
low cost of living in Greece.
Young Greeks when conversing
with Americans like to bark back to
the days of greatness of ancient
Greece. All are familiar with the
lives of Militiades, Leonidas, Soc
rates, Plato, Particles and Lycur-
gus. The Olympic games is another
favorite topic and all look forward
with expectancy to the year 1914,
when the big athletic contests will
again be held in Athens.

was for six years assistant attorney
general of the United States. He was
born in Indiana in 1850, was educated
at De PAW university and the Gin

diana for two years, then went to
Cheyenne, Wyo., where he soon be-
came commissioner to revise the Wy
oning statutes. member Of the legisla-
ture, chief justice Of the state supreme
court, chairman of the Republican
state committee and member of the
national committee. He was also
law professor in the George Washing

his days as a justice Of the supreme
court and another was Major General

ident"
Quite a different reception awaited
him, however.
Hello, Whites" cried the president
cordially. How would you like to go
on the supreme court Of the United
States?"
The senator intimated that he would
like it and took his seat in February,
1904.
In his sixteen years service Justice
White has won the respect of the bar
and the people. He is rather q plo3-
der than a genius, but has shown him
self one OF the hardest workers on the
bench, and his opinions have been solid,
logical and able. He has dissented
from the majority IN two famous cases,
once against the government and once
in its favor. In the Northern Secur1-
ties case he was against the dissolu-
ton of the merger. In the income tax
case he upheld that time hOnored form
Of taxation and contended that 1t was
constitutional.
Shortly after his elevation to the su-
preme bench Justice White married
Mrs. Virginia Montgomery Kent, wild
ow of a Washington lawyer and sister
in-law of the late Senator Gibson OF
Louisiana.
Whites appointment came as a sur
prise, since it was universally believed
that Hughes would be the man. 1t is
said that the president decided three
times that he would appoint Hughes,
but was each time dissuaded. The
chief objection to the New York justice
was that he lacked legal and judicial
experience.
Chief Justice White Is sixty-five and
has five years to serve before he reach
es the voluntary retiring age, or twelve
years if he lives to the age Of Chief
Justice Fuller.

then known as the reform element.
One of the hardest fights he made was
to do away with the Louisiana lot
terry. In 1887 he managed the cam
paign which resulted in the reelection
OF Governor Nichols and the next year
was a candidate for the United States
senate. There was a hot fight. three
other candidates being in the field. one
of them the then Senator James B.
Bustis. White won and took his seat
in 1891.
The appointment Of White as an as
sociate justice of the supreme court is
a story In itself. The president and
Senator David B. Hill OF New York
were then in the midst of their great
fight The vacancy in the court was
supposed to belong TO New York, and
Cleveland, without consulting the New
York senators, sent in the name OF
william B. Hornbiower. As a matter
OF courtesy the southern senators
stood with Hill, and the appointment
was held up without action. This was
at the special session, and on Dec. 8
Cleveland again sent in the nomina-
ton. This time it was rejected. Then
the president named Wheeler III. Peck
ham. stu without consulting Hill or
his colleague. Murphy. Confirmation
was again delayed and finally denied.
At that time Senator White was liv-
ing with his sister. One morning at
breakfast he received a summons to
the White House. Thinking of the
hraak with Mr. Cleveland on tho EII1ar
schedule and supreme court matter,
White said to his sister:

Irony of Fate Enables Him
to Name Majority of Su-
preme Bench on Which
He Yearned to Sit.
By JAMES A. EDeERTON.

~Y his recent appointments to
the supreme court President
61 Taft has named five members
Of that body, or an actual ma
jority. AS he has been in office only
twenty months, such a record is with
out precedent since Washington named
the members Of our highest judicial
tribunal at its inception.
The circumstance is given an almost
pathetic interest for the reason that
Mr.. Taft's lifelong ambition was him
self to be a justice of the supreme
court at one time he was offered an
appointment, but declined on the
ground that it was his duty to remain
In the Philippines. What pangs that de-
cision cost him none outside his most
intimate friends may ever know. Yet
as a result Of the freaks Of fate and
as a species of poetic justice he be
comes the man to remake the court
and appoint a majority OF its mem
bers.

Toft are Horace Harmon Lurton of
Tennessee and Charles Evans Hughes
of New York, whom he designated in
