PROGRESSIVE MAORI.

The Maori of New Zealand is q
fine fellow and well liked by Euro
peans. That he is progressive is
shown by the up-to-date methods
which he adopts in farming and
when he INDUCES in the luxury Of
motor cars he always wants the best
makes. Those Maoris who are liv-
ing in the northern portion of New
Zealand have had a large number
Of their villages connected by tele-
phone; the lines, erected BY them
selves, have been put up in a solid
and secure manner. During eve
ming time when conversation is slack
on the telephone, the gramophone is

TO GET THIN.

Fashionable women are now TAX
ing treatment with the electrical
blanket instead of the steaming
Turkish bath. This is a series of
electrical wires between nonconduct-
ing rubber sheets.
The electricity which many ner-
vous people cannot take without be-
coming numb is not felt, being used
merely for heating purposes. When
the body is wrapped in an electrified
blanket for half an hour profuse
perspiration is generated without
there being any sensation of smoth-
ering or headache. The head is
left free; only the body is blanketed.
The perspiring period is followed
by needle or shower bath made
gradually colder, and later, by gentle
massage and alcohol rub.

PAID FOR THEM HERSELF
Maggie Was Buying VioIets and Man
Who Used TO Send Her Roses
Dodged.

Two men about town were walk
ing up Broadway near Long Acre
square, when one of them called the
attention of the other to a woman
buying a bunch of violets from a
flower vendor. She wasn't very
well dressed.
"That's Maggie" be said. "She
doesn't see us. Let's get by before
she does"
'Did you ever know her?" asked
the other.
81 certainly did," replied the first.
"She used to be one of the prettiest
chorus girls on Broadway"
"Seems to like flowers, doesn't
she?"
"She just loves them. I used to
send her American Beauties. They
used to cost me as high as $25 a
Dozen"
''Violets-a 15-cent bunch, |
guess" replied the one who used to
know Maggie.
"And she's paying for them her
self."-New York Telegraph.

HOPEFUL FINANclER.

As soon as Willie Cohen gets his

AMONG THE TNsuRREcrosv

Days Work.

The insurrectos fought their bat
tie as il they were doing a days
work and were afraid they would Of
fend the business agent" by finish
ing it too soon. There was no ex-
citement, no hurry about their meth
DDS. Without any apparent tumult,
a band of ten or fifteen men would
come slipping, sliding and crawling
down the side of the hill that pro-
tected us from most of the federal
bullets into the bunch Of visitors
and brother insurrectos at the bot
tom, guns smoking and hot from
use, and ten or a dozen fresh men
would slip up the rocky side of the
hill to take their places on the top,
climbing silently, swiftly and with
the agility of cat. Nearing the
top, they would drop suddenly on to
their stomachs and then push their
way slowly TO the crest, where, from
behind a bowlder or a clump Of desert
weed, they could draw a bead upon
the enemy in the valley below. Some
were cowboys, some we're small mer-
chants, some were former federal
officeholders who had won guberna-
torial or presidential disfayor and
been dismissed, some were vaqueros,
some were freighters and some had

HE WOULDN'T COME BACK.

The conductor of a train was hav-
ing trouble with a German who
would not pay the whole fare, In
despair, he at length stopped the
train and told the man to get off.
This the German gladly did, and
running ahead of the engine he be-
gan to walk the ties. The engineer
whistled for him to get off the track.
The German turned around and
shook his fist at the train:
''You needn't vistlep he said. 81
