ECCENTRIC POET.

Queer stories are told of the most
unusual methods of work and cap
.rices of Gerard de Nerval, the
French poet. He followed inspira-
ton literally, scribbled line upon
an omnibus, a couplet upon the para
pet of Pont Neuf, in tayerns,
boudoirs and greenrooms. His long
est sustained effort would be ten
lines. His manuscript consisted of
such strips held together by waters.
Once he entered the garden of the
Palais Royal leading a lobster on
blue ribbon. His friends remon-
strated. ''Why," said De Nerval,
"why is a lobster worse than a dog
or a cat or a gazelle or lion or any
other beast that people have follow
them about? l admire Holsters; they
have poise, they are serious, they
know the secrets of the sea, they
don't bark"

HABITS Of THE sEMINoLEs
Indians Of Florida Live In Open
Hcuses-callco Shirt and Derby
Hat Their Costume.

The Seminole Indians Of Florida
sit, eat and sleep on platforms raised
about three feet from the ground un-
der the roofs Of their open houses. In
each village the houses are so ar
ranged as to leave an open space in
the middle of the camp, and in the
center of this is a cooking house.
Here food is constantly kept on the
fire, for there are no hard and fast
meal hours. They go about dressed
in native costume. The men wear,
on ordinary occasions, merely a shirt
of gayly colored calico. To this they
add, whenever they can obtain one, a
derby hat and new bandana hand
kerchiefs around neck. This is their
ordinary dress. On gala occasions
they wear a turban, made of a shawl
held together by band of hammered
silver, and sport an aigrette or an os-
trich feather, beautiful woven bead
belts with symbolic designs, leggings
and moccasins of buckskin and a gor-
geous calico coat. The use of buck
skin upper garments has long since
been discontinued on account of the
heat; the leggings and moccasins
have survived, but are no longer
worn about the camps, for they
would soon become wet and useless.
The women are more fully clad than
the men. Their costume consists of
a shirt and a sleeved cape of calico.
About their necks they wear enor-
nous masses of beads, from the
strings of which they often hang sill
yer coins. Many of the women wear
brooches or bangles beaten from sill
yer coins by the native smiths. Like
most Indians, the Seminoles do not
care for gold in any form.

Miss Louise Gunther, who re-
turned recently from Chicago, where
she was appearing in vaudeville,
turned bottle Of red ink over while
writing at her home at One Hun

Amsterdam avenue aud the first two
fingers on her left hand were discol-
ored. Miss Gunther applied soap and
water Immediately, and although she
scrubbed industriously was unable to
remove the ink entirely. She did
fade it, though, until her fingers
were brown instead Of red.
The same afternoon she went to a
delicatessen store near her home to
get some material for her evening
meal. A boy about sixteen years old
waited on her. When he had wrapped
up her bundles he leaned over the
counter and, assuming confidential

goods in bond to any desired port of
entry, exchange foreign money, pay
gas bills, and in short, will attend to
any legitimate business transaction as
the customers agent. Among the
articles which an express company
makes a speciality of transporting
are gold, silver, bank notes, currency,
deeds, contracts, precious stones, jew
elry, watches, clocks, gold and silver
ware, plated ware, costly pictures,
statuary, musical instruments, laces,
furs, silk, china, stained glass, birds
and per:shable goods.
Perhaps you have thought of all
this before, but do you also know that
the six largest express companies are
among our greatest bankers? With
them in one year the public has de-
posted 1852, $50, 8l4 and their trans
actions in money orders. The Amer
lean Express alone has handled nearly
II, 900, 900 money orders in one year.
That the public has confidence in the
safety of the express companies as
banks admits of no doubt, and it has
been credibly reported that in the
panic of 1907 money was withdrawn
from banks, which the people did not
trust, and invested in express money
orders"

The Great Express Monopoly.

''Tnat public interest in the express
business should at last be awakened
will strike you as inevitable when
once it's size, ramifications and pecul-
lar closeness to the daily life of the
people are understood" writes AL
bert w. Atwood in the February
American Magazine in avery remark
able article entitled 1.-The Great Ex-
press Monopoly" Mr.. Atwood
shows that the express companies,
six of whom control 80 per cent of
the country's business, have ceased
their tremendous privileges without
legislative interference. and, although
they are common carriers by. every
principle of law, common, judge
made, and statute, they have carried on
their gigantic operations unhindered,
charging what tariff seemed good to
them, rolling UP unheard of profits
and assuming the duties which a
neglectful government should long
ago have assigned to an organized
parcels post. To show how closely
the express business affects the pub
lie Mr.. Atwood describes as follows a
few of the functions the companies
perform:
IAN express company will file le-
gal documents, redeem pawned arti-
cles, collect notes, drafts and &C.
counts. 1t will execute deeds, con.
veyances and contracts, enter and
clear at custom-houses any desired ar.
ticles of import and export, transport

gave the impression that some great
carnival or other pageantry were
being held. Daylight and night
fireworks were also features, and
the band furnished music IN all
parts of the town.
