AWFUL ROAST
Pnrty of American Beauties Aboard
 Were Mistaken for Sunragettes

Were Mistaken for Sunragettes New York Letter to the Cincinnati Times | Star.
 | That bunch of beauties that have been :, touring Europe in the interest (a) of one | Of the New Orleans papers, and (b) for humanitys sake, in order to show the victims of the monarchial form of gov
 ernment what pretty woman looks like,
 returned few days ago. And when
 they were besought to relate the im- pressons which Europe left upon their plastic minds it appears that the one
 mark was that scored by Paris: we saw man and woman kissing and hug ging each other right in the public streets,' said Florence. And no one paid even the least attention to it. Shock | ing, I call it.''
 | The real event of the tour, though,
 was the incident at Liverpool. Mind you, | there were IT or IS of these young wom- | en, all of them good looking, alert, and l we'll dressed, under the guidance of one worried man. Early in the evening of the | day of their arrival at Liverpool the 17 and the man walked out of their hotel, | up to the nearest corner, and there stood | undecided. holding a joint debate upon the question of turning to the right or the left in the sightseeing trip. And the | Liverpool hooligans gathered about them at a little distance and seemed plainly peeved that no one did anything at which offense could be taken. Until at last one bold spirit bawled at them: 'Aw, start the blime meeting. Wy should wimmen vote?'

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Quite n Difference


 United States Senator Lorimer of Chi cago may not be a very reputable states man, but I think ex-President Roosevelt guilty of a large degree of vulgarity in making much public ado about refusing to attend the Hamilton club banquet in case the senator was a guest" said an old democrat and ex-office holder.
 "The late Grover Cleveland was sin gularly plain in his manners, but in feel ing and action he was thorough gentle man and was very careful not to parade himself
 T was spending an evening with MT. Cleveland at his residence in New York city in 1s91 when the subject of news paper editors came Up for discussion The ex-President remarked incidentally that only once in his life did he avoid an in troduction to a man, and that man was the editor of one of the New York dailies. It seems that MT. Cleveland was waited on by a committee and invited to attend a political banquet to be held the following week. He asked to see the list of the principal men to be present. In looking over the list Mir Cleveland found the name of a certain famous editor. Here, said the ex-President, is a man with whom I have never had any per sonal acquaintance; do not know him by sight. I would refuse to speak to him were we to be introduced by chance. Now, gentlemen, I will accept your invita- tion provided I am not to be seated at the same table with - The committee readily agreed to the con- dition, but nothing about the matter ever got into print.
 MT. Cleveland attended the banquet and so did the editor in question, and it is safe to say that the latter never even suspected that the ex-President had anything to do with his being placed at a side table.
 MT. Cleveland never played to the grandstand. Mir Roosevelt is spectacu- lar or nothing"

DIM FACE OF BEAUTY

By Fiona Macleod Dim face of Beauty haunting all the

 are hurled,
 There, there alone for thee May white peace be- For here where all the dreams of men
 are whirled Like sere torn leaves of autumn to and
 fro, There Is no place for thee in all the world Who driftest as a star.
 Beyond, afar. Beauty, sad face of Beauty. mystery.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 Discipline seems to do the most good to the one who administers it.
 Clubs save lot of money for man by his belonging to them without being mar ried
 man who can be good natured al breakfast is very likely to go to heaver when he dies
 Where a man will go to the theatre with his family it's the kind of show where he doesn't want to sit in the front row.
 No matter how easy 1t is for a man to make money there always seems to be somebody else for whom it Is easier te get 1t away from him.

 WHEN "OLD BILL" BREAKS LOOSE.
 There will be a sad catastrophe in this town some day. A show will come along and advertise that well known old slo- gan, money refunded at the door if you are not satisfied Old Bill Shiftless will be in the crowd and will not like the play. He will step up to the ticket seller and tell him in plain English that the show Is on the bum and demand his money back. The ticket seller will try to argue him out of 1t. Bill will in- sist and finally lose his temper. Then he will slip off his coat and go to bat. He will knock the block off the ticket seller and will then hunt up the boss of the show and all the actors. He will make mince meat of the whole bunch and will then demolish the property. The show will be unable to go on to the next stand and Old Bill will be heralded as the unconquered hero of the country. We know this Is so, because we have heard Old Bill say this very thing. He Is tired of the cheap shows that fail to come up to their advertising. Bill knows how a show should be run and isn't slow to express himself. Bills experience with the cane rack at the street fairs has put him wise to everything In the show business. Osborne, Kans., Farmer.

of certain peculiar impulses, character istic sometimes of very rich persons, which may go far to explain one of the mysteries of the government debt state ment," says Hollan In The Wall Street Journal of Wednesday.
 ''In fact, it was only yesterday morn ing that this executor received announce ment from officers of railway company in the United States that they were pre- pared to honor a check drawn by the management of that railroad 40 years ago, in payment of dividend upon the railway stock, although they were not under compusion to do that. by law, since the checks were outlawed.
 Some months ago a very wealthy and l an unusually eccentric man died, leaving an estate of approximately s5,O0o000. When the administrators, or executors, made investigation of his personal property, they found many evidences of a curious eccentricity, namely, his disposition to keep the evidences of wealth, negotiable instruments, checks and drafts, rather than to convert these instruments into money. He appeared to be satisfied with checks and drafts as fully as he would have been with the money; and yet he was esteemed avery shrewd and cautious business man.
 Among other personal property found by his executors were some 5000 checks, almost all of which had been issued by railway companies in payment of divi- dends or interest, and nearly all bear ing date not later than 40 years ago. 1ft an amount as g; there were a good many for sl00, and several for larger amounts. The aggregate was nearly s50,- GOO; and this man of wealth had kept these checks all the years, not even having gone so far as to indorse them
 Tt was, therefore, serious question for the executors whether or not they should attempt to collect the dividends and interest made evident by these checks. But they felt that 1t was their duty to make the attempt. Some of the checks were drawn by officers of rail- roads no longer in existence; but a ma jority represented either earlier railroads, now absorbed by larger systems, like the Morris & Essex, or else stock in some of the trunk lines, and one or two of the greater western lines
 All these checks. so far as 1t has been possible to present them, have been hon. ored, the railroad companies recognizing the moral. If not legal, obligation to pay them.'
