LONDON, May 21.-Dead for all
time is the fashionable bazaar, the fan
tastic fete in which troops of pretty
women in gay costumes presided at
picturesque booths to which the pub
lie rushed to fling its money into the
laps of lovely vendors.
Then suddenly the poor, generous.
misguided public had it's eyes opened.
By slow degrees it leaked out that
the money so generously given went
to buy my lady the stall keepers fan
tastic costume. Out Of her "takings"
she subtracted all her expense" her
lunches, teas, taxis or the cost of a
days. hire for her automobile. "They
have had my services. Think of how
1 draw" she said. "I can't afford to
give them my services for nothing.
Why should II"
The Duchess of Sutherland, who
has been exceedingly prominent in
philanthropy, has been perfectly
frank in her dealings, with commit.
ees. If she was in Scotland and was
asked to open bazaar in London, she
wrote and said she would do so with
pleasure if her expenses were paid.
She certainly was always worth the
$50 check she received, both in regard
to prestige and appearance. This
lady's duke has an income of $450,000
and palatial homes dotted all over the
kingdom. She is a Scotch woman mar
ried to a Scotchmans so this no doubt
explains her business" capacity.
Some years ago at a great bazar at
Olympia a cash box containing $500
disappeared from one of the stalls.
The newspapers, the public and the
detectives were all gulled by graphic
descriptions of a bad, bold burglar
who had decamped with the money,
which really was lying hard by in a
fashionable woman's boudoir waiting
to pay a much overdue dressmaker' s
bill. Everyone connected with the ba-
Ear knew where the money had gone,
but the culprit being a person of con.
siderable social Importance no one
dared point finger at her. Besides
the authorities of the hospital which
which was being assisted through the
fete knew better than to make fuss

HON. CHAMP CLARK
TO RETIRE At 70

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Repre
sentative Champ Clark of Missouri,
the minority leader of the House, has
set for himself an approximate age
limit in public life-about IS years
"The people may set my time of re-
fremont little earlier than that" he
suggested laughingly when discussing
political age limits with a newspaper
man today. $50 far as l know the
only public man who set an age limit
on his services and lived up to it was

Speaker and Senator" said Mr.. Clark.

age at which he would retire. Who

die of Senatorial term, but kept his

A MIGHTY MEAN MAN.

He didn't look to be a mean man
when he boarded the car, but he had
scarcely squeezed his way into a seat
when he spoke up in a loud voice:
"Halley's comet is due tomorrow"
For minute no ono said anything
in reply Then a tailor with bundle
timidly asked:
do you apprehend any danger,
sir?"
Danger? danger? Why man do you
know what a comet isl"
'Tt's-its-a comet"
Correct, sir. Yes sir, a comet is
comet, and comet is a knocker-
out. A comet, sir,can knock this old
world of ours into cooked hat"
But you don't think this comet
will do that?" asked passenger who
looked like a grocer.
ooh, don't I? But I happen to
think just that way, sir. What is a
comet for? What does it come for?
If it hasn't an object in being here,
it would be loafing around somewhere
else. You folks want to prepare
yourselves"
! Come off, growled a big man
with a sore throat.
ooh, yes, I'll come off fast enough!
So will the rest of you! 1t fortunately
| happens that I don't care to live any
longer, but for the rest of you-gee!
Tomorrow, about noon, that old comet
will give a switch to his tail, and
bim-biff!"
"Sir, you must quit talking" said
! the conductor as he came along.
Certainly-certainly, replied the
mean man. yes, will quit talking
after one moro word. When that
comet brings its old tail around it will
hit you first, and I shall be left to
grin-and to chuckle-and to smile
and to ha! no! hal"

TAKING 1T BACK.

Along the last of April there was
a spell of bad weather extending over
most of the country that resulted in
great damage to the crops. In com
mon with other enterprising publica-
tions, we made statements and gave
figures. We have not noticed that
any other publication has changed its
figures but we feel it is due to our
conscience and subscribers to CORE
spond with later reports.
We hereby knock 1886 off the
$40 600, 900 damage to the cotton crop.
We take $2.36 off the $S2,OOO,OOO da-
mage to wheat.
We shave $4.55 off the $19,O0O,OOO
to oats.
The estimated damage to the fruit
crop-of the country was S7O,OOOOOO.
We think we got it too high We
think that figure should be cut down
at least 1915.
We gave no figures on the damage
to huckleberries, as our huckleberry
man was awav burying his aunt, and
it was fortunate that we didn't we
have the felicity OF informing ouI
readers that not darned huckleber,
ry got it in the neck. The crop will
be millions of bushels and the price
of beefsteak must drop to ten cents
a pound.

THE FESTETICS ARE
COMING THIS WAY AGAIN.

Count and Countess Festetics, who
visited Honolulu in their yacht few
years ago, are coming again They are
out for a three years cruise this time,
and, as before, Mrs Count will boss
the job of sailing the mighty main.
The following despatch sent out from
New York few days ago tells all
about the coming cruise Of Honolulu's
old friends:
NEW YORK, May 23.-With her
owner, Count Rudolf Festetics, as
the only passenger, the schooner yacht
Tetona started from Stapleton yester-
day for a three-year cruise around
the world. The vessel formerly was
Commodore Todd's Tistle, which fl
nished third in the race across the
Atlantic three years ago.
The count and countess have had
the trip under consideration for long
time until the start was made yester-
day after two postponements The
first, last January, was caused by the
death of the countess's mother, Mrs.
Gardner Weatherbee. This was about
month after the count purchased
the yacht from Commodore Todd =.
The second postponement, ten days
ago, was caused by trouble with the
crew. The first officer and the Ste
ward quarreled and the latter resign
ed. The rest of the crew refused to
sail with such a first officer Another
crew was secured Saturday, and to
prevent an occurrence of trouble the
count decided to sail yesterday in
spite of the threatening weather.
Capable Navigator.
Count Festetics is a capable navi
gator, and decided that he did not
need a captain. He said yesterday
that he had sailed steam vessels, but
that this was his first attempt with g
sailing yacht He anticipated no trou

far more successful spree is organi-

done were it just the usual subscrip-
