Curtis of tho White House police force

One morning, just before tho presi

Waterman going on his way to his post
across the street and sang OUT:
"You blasted bondholdcr! Why
don't you come across with some OF
the money you are boarding up:
There are plenty of people who need
it, and l am one of them"
"What's that?" asked the supposed
Waterman. turning to Curtis very sud,

Buttermilk Laughs at Old Age.

The investigation of Ellie Metchni-
koff of the Pasteur institute, Paris,
leading to the prevention of the condi-
ton which leads to old age. has at
tracted widespread attention. Men OF
affairs. as well as medical men, are
deeply interested in the treatment,
which is simple, but efficient in result.
Plainly speaking, it is the n%eutraliza,
ton of substances in the body which
become corrupt and are r~eabsorbed
into the circulation, poisoning the
blood and producing the condition that
leads to hardening Of arteries and It's
sues. This naturalization Of the nox'
ious substances is to al extent
brought about by the drinking Of but
termilk or artiicially soured milk, and
this idea has a basis Of common sense
which lifts 1t from the limitations of 4
fad to that of a sound, practical, benef'
icent Observation-Disclosures Globe.

Smuggling Under False Name

There was something especially OBJ
noxious in the use smugglcrs made
of Nellie Grant Sartoris, granddaugh-
ter of General U. s. Grant. Her aunt
and she returned by way Of Paris
from a long visit at Calcutta and Sim
la. They made the usual declaration
before the customs officers at New
York. and there was nothing to pay.
Two weeks after they reached San
Francisco three trunks bearing their
names, newly painted, arrived ut New
York from abroad. On being dis
claimed by them this baggage was
seized and found filled with $4,000
worth of Irish laces. Commercial
smugglers had thought to get these
through by pretending the trunks
were Mrs. Sartoris'. The incident re-
enforced the determination of Col
lector Loeb to ncove those guilty of
such practices.-Franklin Clarkir in

CAPTAIN" JANE MORGAN.


Mediterranean, and the fair skipper
proved conclusively that she was ca
pable of handling a vessel in any sort
of weather.
The first woman to win a commits
sion from the United States govern
ment as a sailing master was the
Countess Festetics de Tolma, the wife
of Count Festetics and daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Haggin of New York.
Fifteen years ago she and her husband
started on a long honeymoon cruise,
during which they had all sorts of mis-
adventures. During the voyage the
countess was in actual command of
their yacht. Upon her return she ap-
piled for and was awarded the license.
Mrs. Charles T. Parker Of New York.
daughter of the late Judge Henry Day,
is also a real sea captain. Several
years ago she transformed the Scyth-
ian, a tramp merchant steamship,
into a handsomely fitted yacht. New
er was there a more roomy or COM
Portable pleasure craft. Mrs. Parker
obtained a masters license and COM
manded the Scythian in all of it's cruis-
es, which extended to nearly every big
port in the world.
On many voyages Of the magnif-
cent steam yacht Nahma she has been
commanded by her owner, Mrs. Rob
ert Goelet, who successfully passed
the necessary examination several
years ago. In 1902 the Nahma was
detained at the Dardanelles for forty
eight hours because the fair owner and
master insisted upon carrying on deck
two small rapid fire guns that were
used only for saluting purposes.
To the Turk, however, a gun is a
gun, and when the jaunty yacht ap-
peared in the rigidly barred strait
with the two cannon cleaning in the
sunlight there were q number Of OIL
cial spasms.
When the sultan heard that the
Nahma was owned and commanded
by Mrs. Goelet he gave orders that
she be permitted to proceed to Con-
stantinople. Upon her arrival there
he sent his grand master of ceremo-
MES aboard. The grand master paid
his respects to Mrs. Goelet, welcomed
her to Turkey and conferred upon her
the Grand Gordon of the Chefekat, a
noted decoration.
For several years Miss Carrie B.
Hunter Of Snow Hill. Nd, has held a
captains license and commanded her
fathers steamboat, the Carrie, on all
its regular trips.
