SHE DEMANDS SQUARE DEAL
Rich American Wife of Foreign Noble man Will Stand No Nonsense
 From Him.

Representative Henry of Texas, whose campaign against information Il marriages has already borne fruit in the Gould-Drexel wedding and the Sears-Vanderbilt engagement, said the other day in Waco:
 "My investigation of internation- al marriages has revealed one good thing. This rich American wife stands no nonsense from her for eign husband. She gives him a square deal and if he doesn't give her one in return-bang!
 "There was a young nobleman who, on an allowance of $20,000 from his wife, a New York girl, be- gan to live a very gay life. Then came the inevitable separation, the withdrawal of the allowance and the end to all gaiety forever,
 "I'm sorry, old chap said one of the nobeman's friends, Pm very sorry to hear you've fallen out with your wife

SAYS THE SNAIL IS BLIND
Patient Investigator Finds That It's So-caIled Eyes Are Not Or
 gans of Vision.

The snail does not receive in this country the attention that Euro peans see fit to bestow upon him. For some time a controversy has been going on between scientists there over the question: of the eye sight of the humble mollusc.
 One school holds that the eyes of the snail cannot stand the bright sunlight, and point to the fact that he takes his leisurely walks abroad at night, and that he has fondness for the shade.
 Now comes a patient investigator named Yung, who claims that the snail doesn't see at all. He has made 2,400 experiments upon 176 speci- mems, and he says that when you put snails into an inclosure where there is both light and shade, their distribution is a matter of chance. The snail, he says, does not shun the light so much as he hunts for se- clusion.
 His conclusion is that the snail does not perceive obstacles in his uath until he bumps into them; his speed being low, he escapes injury Having once selected a resting place, flashing lights into his apology for a face does not disturb him. If you put bright object like the head of a pin or a tiny mirror within the twenty-ffth of an inch from his so-called eyes he pays no attention.
 To complete his experiments, Mir. Yung amputated the organs of sight from several snails and couldn't find that it made any difference in their happy, if placid, lives.

PROOF OF THE MAN.

Unthinking and self-engrossed young womanhood is apt to plume itself on lover's devotion so con- plete that it leaves no room for even common courtesy to the rest of the world.
 This type of girl rather brides herself on the passion she has in- spired, when her lover crushes care lessly past any woman to get to her, and all the time if she knew men, she might feel a nang of fear as to her own future.
 Once the fever of his love dream is over, just with the careless dis courtesy with which he treats other women will her lover treat her after marriage.
 The best proof that a man will prove as kind and considerate hus- band as he is in his unfailing cour- tesy and consideration to all women.
 Because he loves one does not make 8 gentleman less gentle--but more.

HOBNOBBED WITH ROYALTY
Senator Carter's Tale of His Visit to London Quite SqueIched MT.
 NeWlyrich.

A newly rich railroad man on one occasion bored Senator Carter with a description of his first visit to Lon- don. The new millionaire was rather snobbish in his ways and say ings. He told of the great people he had met and finally asked Carter if he had ever been in London.
 "Oh, yes, frequently" replied Car ter.
 "Where did you put up?''
 Buckingham palace" was Car ter's reioinder, and he proceeded to tell his newly rich friend how he and Queen Victoria and the late King Edward, then the prince of Wales, and all the royal family had breakfasted together Carter went into details giving the different breakfasts every morning at the pal ace. He switched to the luncheons and finally to the dinners, which he described in detail, telling how huge diamonds were set in the gold din- ner plates and how the prince of Wales pried out several and handed them to Carter for keepsakes Then Carter remarked on the jolly times he had rolling on the floor playing with the royal children, and this rig marole lasted for an hour. In the end his newly wealthy friend seemed to be utterly crushed.

GrOggy, But Game A Brave Knights Error and How He Retrieved It
By JOHN BARTON OXFORD Copyright by Frank A Munsey Co.

"Once every year," to quote Fudge Cassidy, who, having served on innu- merable assembly committees, should know all about such things, "the Eddie Riley Associates give an annual ball."
 Rogan's hall is hired for the festive occasion. McNulty. the decorator, Is given carte blanche in the matter of bunting and lights and imitation palms; Hannigan's Elite orchestra is perched on the platform and genially Instructed to do it's worst.
 The big anteroom at the left of the platform is plentifully supplied with refreshments for the rank and file of the guests, but the smaller anterOom the assembly committee, as is it's in alienable right from long established precedent, reserves for itself and it's immediate friends. .
 AS a money making proposition the seGtliual ball las long since outlived9its usefulness, nor, since it is now pure ly social event, is there any need of its proving financially profitable.
 For Eddie Riley has made good in his chosen walk of life, and the Eddie company of boosters" in those uncer- tain days when Eddie Riley first show ed faint symptoms of eventually mak- ing a name for himself in the squared circle, no longer find it necessary to give him financial aid, nor yet the be- nign influence of their moral support.
 The annual ball has still survived, the sole organized activity of the assO- clates, and every year at precisely 10 the great Eddie Riley himself condo scends to look in on the gala event and, lowing right and left, makes his way across the floor, while the orches- tra, no matter what it is playing, switches into the strains of "See, the Conquering Hero Comes," and the burst of acclaiming applause is well nigh deafening.
 And happy indeed the lot of that girl whom MT. Riley, turning: slowly about and letting the lights sparkle on the two enormous diamonds in the studs of his shirt front, the while he runs an appraising eye over the ladies present, asks for the first dance.

West Point has it's Ben ny Havens song. and the Seventh cav airy marches to the inspiring tune of Garry Owen. but the Halls of Mon tezuma" is sung by all who wear the marines uniform. One verse of the song, favOrite one, runs:
 Our flags unfurled to every breeze
 From dawn to setting sun.
 We have fought in every cline and place
 Where we could take gun.
 In the snow of faroff northern lands
 And in sunny tropic scenes
 You will find us always on the job,

SECONDHAND GLASS.
Interesting Methods of Buainsss Thst
 la Quite Extensive.

Interesting Methods ot buetnesa Fh@t
 ls Quite Extensive.
 The salvage glass industry is of such importance and extent that many deal CTS in secondhand glass specialize fin one branch or another. Some, for in- stance, handle only plate glass that comes to them by reason of the dernoli- ton of old buildings, razed to make place for new structures. Salvage glass of this sort brings prices not far below those of new glass.
 A considerable quantity of the sal wage glass dealers stock emanates from the plate glass insurance com panies. The methods of these com panies in taking over glass vary. One concern may keep no stock on hand, simply buying whatever is required to replace broken pane, disposing of the broken glass, if enough remains to be sold, to the salvage dealer. Some times a company will have a ware. house of its own, to which 1t will re- move broken glass that may still be in condition to use. Frequently 1t will happen that only one corner has been broken from large pane and that thls may be cut down to fit a smaller win dow.
 Most plate glass is insured, but there is much that Is not. In the case of an uninsured plate that is broken the own CT must, of course, go to a dealer for a new plate. He will sell the broken plate to the salvage dealer. It follows therefore that from insurance com panies, from building wreckers and from owners of uninsured glass the salvage glass dealers accumulate great quantities of secondhand plate glass. Much of this is in such condition that it may be reset anywhere Should the injury consist, for instance, of simply a deep scratch in the center it is easy to make that plate salable. The sec ondhand dealer cuts out a strip con- taining the scratch and thus have left two smaller plates, quite suitable for smaller windows.
 When injured plate glass Is too much scratched to be available for windows 1t is sometimes made into ground or frosted glass for office partitions or doors. Salvage plate glass too small for use in windows is employed for the glass doors of refrigerators, and larger pieces are utilized in the making of glass table tops. Small fragments go to the making of hand mirrors, al- though only clear pieces may be so employed Other pieces, too small for other purposes, enter into the manu- facture of glass signs.
 Eventually, when the last piece of merchantable glass has been cut from the damaged piece, there remain the scraps and fragments accumulated in the cutting. Even these have their uses, although they do not bring much. They are melted and used in the manu- facture of hottles.-Wa Washington Star.
