THERE WAS ONE TOO MANY
Farmer Suspicious Of Literary Name
Methods Of Rearing
Children.

The following is told at the expense
Of a New York literary man, into
whose family a fifth child came last
summer.
The family we're at their country
house in the north Of the state, and
for a time much of the care Of the
other four children devolved upon the
father, who entertains some Spartan
notions touching the rearing of his
sons.
One morning he carried his three
year-old to the creek near his home, to
give him a cold plunge. The lad OBJ
jected vigorously to this proceeding,
but was firmly held and ducked, de-
spite his protests.
Just as the father was sending in
the youngster for the second time, a
powerful hand stayed him, and he
found himself in the grasp Of a big
farmer, a neighbor of his, who began
to roar at him in this wise:
None o. thatl None o. that, or III
hand you over to the law!"
II consumed the better part OF half
an hour to convince the farmer that
no attempt was being made to drown
the child. Even at the end, the
brawny tiller of the soil was not en-
tirely convinced, for he kept shaking
his head doubtfully and murmuring:
81 dunno about that, dunno. You
got four besides this. '-Lippincott's.

The Scottish IhlatIe.

The origin OF the thistle as the ma,
tional badge of Scotland Is thus given
by tradition: When the Danes invaded
Scotland 1t was deemed unwarlike to
attack the enemy by night. instead Of
in pitched battle by day; but on one
occasion the invaders tried a night
attack. In order to prevent their
tramp being heard they marched bare
footed. and they had succeeded in
creeping close up 20 the Scottish
forces unobserved. when one of them
stepped on thistle and uttered a cry
of pain. The alarm was given, and
the attack was beaten on. Out Of
gratitude the thistle was adopted as
the insignia OF Scotland.

Gave Him the Worst Of Il.

Simeon Ford is greatly in demand
at dinners in New York for his abil
ity as an entertainer. He is in a
class with Augustus Thomas and Pat
Murphy for readiness of speech, and
in a class by himself for an individu-
atty in humor. Mr.. Ford conducts a
hotel that is not known much the
country Over-the Grand Central-but
because Of its location opposite the
New York Central station on Forty
second street II attracts many a mod
est and unschooled traveller. For q
time II became unduly prominent To-
cally because Of a string Of suicides,
and this inspired Mr.. Ford into giving
a statement Of his circumstances. Il
am not In the fortunate class Of ho-
tel keepers" he said. Visitors from
abroad go to the Plaza, the st. Regis
or the Knickerbocker and pay IS a
day for a room. They come to my
house and spend So a day for a room
and turn on Sc worth Of gas to kill
themselves"

FEW YOUNG FRENCH STARS
II Leading Actresses Are Not All
Grandmothers, They Might
Easily Be.

The impresario, Schurmann of Paris,
who has toured most of the stars"
has written a most entertaining book
of memoirs under the title of Secrets
de Coulisses."
He says 1t is becoming increasingly
difficult or organize tours abroad be-
cause of the scarcity of young talent
If all the leading actresses are not
grandmothers, he rather ungallantly
remarks, they might easily be.
The reason Paris does not revolt
against this perpetual eclipse of the
young and ardent debutante. he goes
on to say, is because the public Of the
"repetitions generates" is itself old
and never changes. 1t would be con-
scious of its bald head and gray whis-
kers If it saw q new artist in the front
rank.
The lady of thousand charms may
weigh a hundred kilos or so and may
have lost all outward grace, but, hap
PLY for her-though unhappily for art
the habitue looks upon her with the
eyes of one-and-twenty. Yet the gen.
eral public, according to the impre-
sario, has not the same reason for
wishing to be deceived, and so-it
stays away.
He proposes to attract the public to
the legitimate drama by substituting
younger actresses for the passe stars
of the present day.

CHINESE LOAN SUBSCRIBED.

$5,000,000 loan which Japan has made
to the Chinese government through

$S,45O,000. Foreigners will be allotted
more than $2.5O0,000.
The loan was quietly negotiated and
came as a surprise to the representa-
tives of foreign financial interests
since IL was announced there has been
an outcry from the provincial China
men. we are very jealous of the Jap
anese and who are easily inhamed by
those having political purposes to
serve. However. il is not thought that
this opposition will be serious and the
conclusion of the loan at a time when
fl ancial negotiations between China
and other countries are pending is the
cause of much satisfaction here. The
loan will be used to meet a deficit of
the railway board and China gives in
security five per cent railway bonds.

VIII ABANDON KHAKI.
German Soldiers Will Wear Indian
Slate -CoIored Garb.

Berlin. May Slow alert the Ger
nan army officer is for new ideas is
now being illustrated in the matter of
uniform that is To replace khaki. A
whole division In the Prussian army is
clad in an original garb through the
observant eye OF German officer, who
while wandering on the Indian from
tier noticed the peculiar slate colored
body clothes worn by the Yaghistan
Afridis.
The popularity of this color he found
was due To the fact that It rendered
it's wearers practically invisible. and
thus afforded the Afridis artificial pro-
lection when flghting by day and
thieving by night. This discovery was
reported TO the German war office, and
as result Of exhaustive experiments
the general STAFF has evolved a blush
green cloth that blends with the sum
mer and winter landscape of European
scenery to a nicely.
The advantages of this new uniform
in point OF protecting the wearers
from detection have been tested dur
ing manoeuvers. and II was found that
the bodies OF the hussars when so
clothed were mistaken for parties of
led horses" Following Germanys lead,
France is about TO adopt a similar
color, after careful elaboration at the
ministry of war. Soon the blue great
coat and the red trousers that French
soldiers have worn for half century
will be superseded by a light gray
green uniform. and this years French
manoeuvers, according to latest intel
ligence from Paris, will have added in
terest from the fact that at least two
battalions will be seen in the field
wearing uniforms made from the new
material.

FEATHERS ON HATS.
Deputy Game Warden Daniel Starts
Crusade Against Them.

Detroit. Mich, May S.--Deputy Game
Warden Charles Daniel has started a
crusade against all women who wear
hats decorated with birds or wings OF
birds protected by law in this state
and declares that before he Is finished
styles in millinery will be changed to
a marked degree. $500
''lf a woman wears a bird or wing
of bird protected by law she is liable
to prosecution" says the deputy "The
law gives the game warden the right
to stop a woman any place and take
the feathers off the hat, to conflscate
them. as it were.
''rhe law says that the birds are To
be protected and / am going to en-
force IL. I haven't just exactly made
up my mind as to what course / am
going to pursue as regards the wo-
men who are wearing these birds as
trimmings but if find It necessary
to stop the women and get the birds
or wings I am going to do 1t. If l
see any woman wearing them l am
going to make complaint"
The greatest effort the deputy game
warden declares he is going to make
is To stop the wearing of aigrette
feathers. Detroit milliners have been
trimming a great many hats with these
feathers and they are using them to
such large extent throughout the
state that an act has been passed pro-
hibiting their use after the first of Sep
tember.
Gould I stop the wearing of law
protected birds?" said the game war
den. "Well, you Just imagine police
court crowded with women charged
with violating this law and draw your
own conclusions as TO whether the
practice, or style as they call IL. could
be stopped. Sure. I'd do 1t IL had to
enforce the law"
