CHAMP CLARK'S TEMERITY
By sAvOYARD

regimentals. Here is the valiant captain g
 account of a brilliant and heroic episode in his magnificent career:
 'It was on the desperate, bloody and glorious day of Monmouth. Although in the light. horse I there fought on foot. slashed with my sabre cuts one and two,
 and head went off here and limb there, until the blood actually ran irto
 my shoes A file of dead bodies surround
 ed me; I was excited and still slashins away, when I felt an admonitory touch on my shoulder. l looked up and there was Washington! I shall never forget the majesty of his presence, the solemni- ty of his demeanor, the benignity of his expression, the gravity of his speech. He benevolently gazed at me moment with
 out speaking, and then he said: Young man, restrain your impetuosity; in the
 name of God I beeseech you not to make
 a slaughter house of the field of batte.' ''
 This country has suffered epic woes sim
 ply because our patriots would not re-
 strain their impetuosity.
 Don't misunderstood me. Champ Clark would make good President if he had a
 good cabinet. Henry of Navarro had a Sully for minister, who in a measure re- strained the impetuosity of the King and raised France to be the successor of Spain
 as the first power of Europe. Champ is Henry, all right and oscar Underwood could be Sully if he were sound on the
 tariff. But he believes in the "protective principle" as they please to call it, and
 that puts him in the class with John Dalzell except in degree As long as the protective principe'' maintains, some folks, and the best and honestest, will
 hew wood and draw water for other folks, the worst and the knavishest.
 If the. democratic party should now sub
 ordinate tariff reform of the Mills brand,
 it ought to retire from politics. There
 will be nothing else for it to do.

DAINTY TOILET ARTICLE

Every lady who desires to keep up her attractive appearance, while at the Theatre, attending Receptions, when Shopping, while Travelling and on all occasions should carry in her purse booklet of GOuraud's Oriental Beauty Leaves. This is a dainty little booklet of exquisitely perfumed powdered leaves which are easily removed and applied to the skin. It is invaluable when the face becomes moist and flushed and is far superior to a powder puff as it does not spill and soil the clothes.
 It removes dirt, soot and grease from the face imparting cool delicate bloom to the complexion Sent anywhere on receipt of 10 cents in stamps or coin r. T. Hopkins, 37 Great Jones street, New York.

not always mean that, individually speak ing, the newcomers are desirable, and the Mercy Home Is every day emphasizing the fact that it is a community provision blessing by extending assistance to de- serted wives and mothers by the care of their children for few months or year until they can be supported by their mothers or relatives.
 Such children as these are greatly bene- fited by the standard of cleanliness, or der and obedience inculcated there and in many instances return to their homes in far better physical condition than they entered. They are examined by physi- elan as soon as they are placed in the home, and whatever treatment of throat, adenoids or other physical defects is ad- vised is done immediately The physicians of the city have given their services and time freely, especially Dr. A. N. Ballard, Dr. H. R. Coston, WIT. William Jordan Dr. w. G. Harrison and Dr. A. A. Walker
 The twentieth anniversary of the insti- tuition will be observed next February and the time has now come when visits from the girls who grew up in the Mercy Home, were adopted from there or spent a portion of their early life under it's shelter are sending Mrs. Ramsey invita- tions to their wedding and returning to the home for visits as capable young women of the office and shop; when the erstv'hile boys are sending their remem- brances and gratitude in a material way and are establishing homes of their own. It is hardly possible that these citizens of the state or south can count as integers in the commonwealth without retaining some of the principles instilled at the Mercy Home and carrying the influence
 bf that institution through the years witi. them. The home Is always open for the visits of those who are interested, and if one is fortunate enough to have Mrs. Ramsey for guide through the corridors, rows of white cots and attractive rooms of the home, there will be many little human stories told of the children that make one feel more intimate with good being done there.

 pended in his gilded cage and singing
 happily to keep pace with the chatter | ing voices. Gold fish darted here and I there in a bright aquarium and on some ! of the plants were blooms, giving a gay
 and tropical appearance.
 Mrs. Nelson's gown was an exquisite l green satin with an overdress of gold. With it she wore corsage bouquet or | palma violets. Mrs. Steiner was lovely | in richly embroidered gown whose gold overdress was worn over a foundation of | blue satin, and with lace showing through | the gold fringe. To give touch of color a soft tracery of beauty ribbon was | seen beneath the lace. Mrs. Bowie, who assisted Mrs. Leo Steiner in pouring the | tea, was lovely in a gown of green crepe de chene, with 8 white lace overdress,
 which suggested the Louis Quinze period Mrs. Noble, whose cameo beauty is most unusual, wore with becoming effect a chiffon combination of pink and gray. Mrs. Charles Davis looked most distin- ] guished in a black jet gown over Amer | ican beauty satin. Her large black hat with touches of American beauty and topped with a gorgeous plume gave an additional touch to her beautiful toilette. Among the small party of invited guests

KNIGHTS IN FEATHERS.

India is peculiarly rich in birds

splendid in sagacity, resources and
adaptiveness, boldness, cunning and
depravity-a veritable Machiavelli
among birds. I might almost say
h super-bird. The king crow (Di-
crurus ater) is another creature
which can be described only by SUI
perlatives. He is the Black Prince
of the bird kingdom-the embodi-
n,ent Of pluck. The thing in feath-
ers of which he is afraid has yet to
be evolved. Like the medieval
knight, he goes about seeking those
upon whom he can perform some

ANIMALS CAN AND DO REASON
Abundant Proof 10 Seen In incident
In Which Cow and Steer Are
Involved.

As proof that animals can and do
reason the following incident is re-
lated by close observer: A COW and
a steer latter two years old
were the only occupants Of the barn.
yard where the occurrence took
place. A batting Of hay was put out
to them, the cow taking possession.
The steer wished to share it, but the
cow was selfish and bent on taking
the whole Of it. As often as the
steer would .maneuver around to get
q bite she would drive him off with
her sharp horns. The steer was so
persistent, however, that the old COW
got angry and made vicious charge
at the steer, Furnishing him severely,
although he was her own offspring.
The steer felt badly hurt, not only
in body, but evidently in mind as
we'll. He started down the lane
toward the pasture, where the rest
of the cattle were grazing, believing
vengeance at every step in q lam
guage which was unmistakable, and
which the mother well understood,
as she ceased eating and listened in
tently. When the noise died away
she resumed her ration, but with
evident apprehension. Presently
the steer was seen returning, bring
ing with him a companion larger
and stronger than himself. As they
approached, the rumbling Of rage
and revenge could be again heard,
which grew louder as they came.
nearer. The COW took in the situa-
ton at once, and was now terror
stricken. As her assailants rushed
into the yard she lodged them and
rushed out at life-and-death speed,
and away toward the rest of the
stock in the field, with her pursuers
close in her track.
