G T. LOUIS.-While a score of invita-
- tons were on their way from Mrs.
James Howe's beautiful Swiss chalet
in Webster Groves, a suburb of St.
Louis, to attend a five hundred club
party and luncheon recently, Mrs
Howe's serving maid announced her
resignation, to take effect Immediate
ly.
The dire news reached the hostess
as she was dressing to receive her
guests. whats the matter?" called
Mrs. c. Gregory Fleckenstein, Mrs.
Howe's guest, from the room where
she was putting on her white lingerie
gown. Mrs. Howe told her. Mrs.
Fleckenstein, whose home is in Chi
cago, was to be the guest of honor at
the club party. But this had not been
announced. Nor was she acquainted
with those whom she was to meet.
Let me be serving maid," she
said promptly. Il think l can do al
most as we'll as real one. Where is
my costume?" She hurried down
stairs and returned in a dainty white

amused, Il have been overwhelmed
with offers of marriage as we'll as Of
employment. But these offers do not
appeal to me. Most men forget that I
have my own sweetheart, and If I
were inclined to consider a second
time it seems that mine should be
the privilege of inviting his attentions
without having them thrust upon me.
AT first did not take such things
seriously, but since then have known
other girls who have shared the same
fate, merely because they are more
beautiful than their colleagues.
II have worked In Offices where
there were II girls, and by the end
Of the third week was embarrassed
by repeated offers of company, pleas

bitter passes between some of the

Of next year, but until then l wish to

NEW YORK.-The fowl house of
~ the Central park zoo was scandal
lied one day recently when some sharp
eyed tattlers noticed the simultaneous
disappearance of Clara, one of the
young wild gray geese recently given
to the zoo, and Brigham Young, the
little Black Spanish game rooster
whose wild ways have deprived him of
the cOuntenance of the best classes in
the fowl house.
It came out that Brigham Young and
Clara we1e out in the park together.
Chief Keeper Snyder. who went on
their trail as soon as he heard about
their disappearance, got wind of them
near the alligator pool. A black wing
feather by the eagle cages also
showed that B. Young had been there.
He had lost the feather trying to con.
verse with South American condor.
Then he went on up the path, walk
ing in a manner that said that he
thought himself pretty fine fellow
The little wild gray goose seemed to
be extremely proud of him.
1t was about here that the little gray
goose felt such a thrill of freedom and
life that she quacked in her coarse. un.
cultured voice, and abruptly left the
earth for flight in the air.

Heads of Navy Are Annoyed By Women

minated in the court-martial of two
officers, illustrates the prominent part
women play in navy circles.
Almost everybody knows of the
mutual i'll feeling existing between
the navy women and the department.
Every once in a while something hap
pens to widen this breach Only a
few days ago Ensign Charles M. Aus
tin, son of Representative Richard
w. Austin of Tennessee, was deprived
of an especially desirable berth by the
navy department merely because he
got married. He had been detached
from the dispatch boat Dolphin at the
Washington navy yard and ordered
to Japan for duty as a student at
tache at the American embassy at
Tokyo for the purpose of studying the
Japanese language. On the way to
his new post of duty he stopped at his
former home in Tennessee and was
married to a girl he had known for
many years.
This was too much for the unrO-
mantle departmental authorities, who
suddenly decided that a married en-.
sign would not make as good a stu
dent of the Japanese language as
bachelor. Accordingly his orders
were revoked and instead of spending
his honeymoon in Tokyo he will have
less interesting service at the naval
training station on the Pacific coast
He will, however, have his wife,

man on behalf Of his dog Rover, who
had gotten into trouble through care
lessly inserting his teeth in the leg of
little Israel Stern, son of Eli Stern,
q neighbor.
Stern, on behalf of little Israel, filed
suit in the municipal court against
Herman, asking $1,000 damages for
the punctures which Rover inflicted
on his sons leg. Herman, in response
to Stern's complaint, came back with
the following petition to the court:
defendant denies that said dog is
or was of a savage disposition or a
vicious temper, not even in dog days,
but, on the contrary, defendant AYERS
that said Rover has always borne a
good reputation among his neighbors,
pals and associates in the community
in which he resides for being a peace
full, quiet and law-abiding canine, al
ways kind to his friends and faithful
to his master. The defendant further
AYERS that the dog is great home
body and is always at home at night
The following lines in the bill ex-
press the attachment the defendant
feels toward his dog Rover:
like to see little dog
Ad pat him on the head.
So prettily he wags his tail
Whenever he is fed.
Some little dogs are very good
And some are useful, too.
And do you know that they will mind
What they are bid to do?

Stevenson's Grandson Finds Treasure

The lad stopped digging because his
shovel had encountered an obstruc-
ton. Tested carefully the thing that
resisted proved to be metal Then
Louis dug more furiously than ever.
In few moments he unearthed a
metal box. And, sure enough, It con-
tanned treasure. Opening it hastily,
the boy found $500 shares of valuable
stock, deeds to city property, other
valuable papers and several empty
ring boxes.
OF course, the boy did not realize
the value Of the property, but he knew
the papers must be worth great deal
or they would not have been placed
In such secure box. So he hastily
carried his find to his mother, who
turned the property over to the police.
The papers belong to Augustus I'M
brie, a wealthy man whose house ia
closed and who is out of the city. The
police think robbers ransacked the
1mbrie residence and, after taking
money and jewelry from the box
buried it.

The provisions of the treaties by

except by consent of congress or the
president, but up to the present time
the provisions have not been enforced
owing to opposition rom the white
population, which vastly outnumbers

1OHN HAY had a saving that tn

John HAY had a saying that the
y ideal diplomatic service-if any
government ever succeeds in having
one-will be composed exclusively of
unmarried men. Mr.. Hay had no ex-
perience in naval matters, or he might
have included the navy in his maxim.
There probably is no branch of the
government service, the Washington
Post says, where petticoat influence
is so strong as in the navy Ask any
ex-secretary of the navy about it and
he will tell you how the navy women
In thousand different ways, some
times unconsciously and occasionally
deliberately, annoy the navy depart
ment. He will tell you how they
scheme to obtain desirable posts of
duty for their husbands or sons and
how they annoy the department with
requests for change of orders when
their husbands are transferred from

Scandal Wrecks Romance of the Zoo

B. Young tried to do that, too, but
he fell back to the ground in a most
undignified manner. When the gray
goose came back after a circle of the
neighborhood, he expressed to her, no
doubt, his grave disapproval of undue
boisterousness in young woman con.
siderably beyond the kindergarten age.
At any rate GOODNESS sprang up
here between the couple. They went
on down the mall until they came to
the pool Of water equipped with the
fountain mechanism that spouts up
many minute streams of water from
the surface of the pool. B. Young
started to walk slowly around the low
curbing Of the pool, but Clara. the
poor, simple thing, jumped right in
and, swimming out until she came un-
derneath the showering streams, began
quacking as loudly as she could, flap
ping her wings In a quick, excited
way.
B. Young does not worship the con-
vention. But even he stood stock still
and glared at Clara. She caught his
eye, but did not seem to be in the
least ashamed. Whereupon he turned
away, acting as if he didn't know the
young thing cutting up in the pool
Chief Keeper Snyder came down the
mall on the trail. On the way back to
the fowl house, Clara and B. Young re-
fused to notice each other.
"A simple case of incompatability."
said Snyder, "but, fortunately it was
discovered early. We would prefer to
say nothing more just at present"
However, B. Young plans a visit to
Reno, New, where divorces are so cas-
lily obtained.

some of the guests tried their French

"Oui madam, oui," with curtsy,
was the only reply. Again there was
a whispered series of compliments on
the graceful movements of the trim
figure.
AS the card play began the maid"
retired, and few minutes later the
guest of honor, Mrs. Fleckenstein, en-
tered the room in her party gown.
There was gasp of admiring surprise
