MUSKlE HAD COVE TIE WA
Just Why Minnesota Fisherman
Prize Catch Was Not Mounted"
a. ne Wished.

All was joy at the home of Street
Commissioner joseph Gleason-for
a time, says the Minneapolis Jour
nal. a thirty-three pound muske-
lunge had been received by express
from the latter's employer, Edgar
H.. Scmple, who is on a fishing trip
in northern Minnesota. No mes
sage accompanied the consignment.
Gleason paid express charges on the
big fish and it was taken to his
home on a truck.
Neighbors were called in to look
at the mammoth catch. They adj
mired it for a time. Then it was
cut up into sections. Gleason was
generous. He gave huge slabs of
the fish to his friends. Everybody
in the neighborhood had fish for
dinner.
The Gleason family had finished
the delicious repast. The skeleton
of the muskellunge alone remained
to decorate the platter. With a sigh
Of satisfaction the street commission
er pushed his chair back from the
table. His son did likewise. Just
then the doorbell rang. A messen-
ger appeared with a telegram for
younger Gleason. The young man
read it. His face fell and he passed
it to his father. The latter looked
worried, but not nearly so worried
as his son. The telegram read:
"Have big muskie mounted quick
ly. Finest work at any cost"
"SEMPLE."
That was all the message said.

HIS is the tale of Glory, little black
Pomeranian. That is, he is a very
black and very little Pom. While the
tale is not very long it's good deal longer
than Glory's tail, which is only about as
long as short piece of string.
Glory was born on the Fourth of July,
this year That is why he wears his
good name. Also, Glory is intelligent and
has already done much to disprove the
statement that these toy dogs cannot be
trained as readily and thoroughly as can
the larger breeds.
But then Glory has highly intelligent
mother, Schatse by name, who is helping
their master and mistress teach the fat,
little chap the many things that should be
in the repertoire of a pedigreed Pom.

The Great Women of
the French Salons.
vsss~aaanaasssas~~~N~~~a =

liant Mime. de Sevigne made spontaneity
in letter writing a high art, besides a
craze that spread like wildfre. Nine. de
La Fayette, who told her age with un-
hesitating candor, is still held in repute
as a woman of letters, and one, more
over, whose familiarity with legal tech
nicalities was so great that she saved for
La Rochefoucauld the fortune he was in
grave danger of losing. In matters of
judgment she was scarcely surpassed by
Mime. de Maintenon, the feminine diplo-
matist of her time.
! On the other hand, many followed the
advice of LIE Brun:-'Inspire, but do not
write
The salon of the Marquise de Lambert
formed link between those of the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries, and hon.
orably won for itself the title of the ante
chamber to the Academic FRANCHISE.
As up to date women these great ladies
desired to know a little about everything,
leven though they had a horror of being
called '.femmes savantes." They rated
the indefnable quality of esprit" above
all else, and were very desirous of pleas
ing. About them was that which makes
for "grandes DANES"
Such women could have high, bleak
foreheads; large, coarse hands; monstrous
ankles, and voices that rival the fish mon
gers; yet in their rouge, patches, ruffies,
stiff bodices and high heeled slippers they
were unmistakably great ladies. They
used their fans to hide their bushes, or
as screens from behind which to whisper
the latest scandals. Their romance was
not dimmed by an age in which fan is
useful merely for tanning
Are there no grandes danes in Amer
ica?" was asked by a visiting French
woman.
Has America no salons?" was asked
further.
The nearest approach to a salon ever
held in New York were the gatherings
at the home of Mrs. Paran Stevens.
In America, however, the press gives
at the breakfast table the news that the
salons lived to circulate. Great ladies',
moreover, now lag little behind the fash
ion.
These salon queens that revived and
purified conversation were for the most
part well past the freshness of youth, and
many were without beauty. Their power
lay in that they blended intelligence with
q keen knowledge of the world. For two
centuries scarcely a political move was
carried througi1 without their influence.
But with the Revolution these epigram-
matte women were forbidden to organize
There is one thing" Said Napoleon,
'that is not French. 1t is that woman
can do as she pleases."
Convinced, he exiled Nine. de Stael,
the ablest woman in France. Others hid
themselves or returned to the cradle and
the 6reside.

WORK AND PLAY WITH THE BOYS AND GIRLS OF

many of the schools, and the boys turn out
astonishinsiy good house furniture and
Office furniture. There are many hand
some native woods from which beautiful
furniture may well be made, and the
government hopes that by having the
boys learn how to make furniture they
are not only thus enabling them to pro-
vide for their, own future but are also
influencing the people of the islands to be-
come interested in the development Of
trade in which they can successfully COM
pete with other countries. Very beautiful
house furniture is made of red mara.
Durable and handsome Office furniture
is made Of Philippine hardwood by the
boys of the trade schools. In the provin-
cial trade school of Sorsogop an extremely
comfortable lounging chair is made Of
wood and canvas. This chair proved 50
very comfortable and attractive that large
numbers of them were sold to visitors to
the schools exhibition. Very wonderful
baskets are also made by the children in
the schools and picture frames, slippers
and mats of bamboo.
The girls of the schools are taught to
make lace of the most exquisite quality.
They are making beautiful pillow lace Of
the sort that is sold for very large prices
in this country and Europe, and they are
showing as great skill in this art as the
lacemakers of the European countries.
Domestic science is also taught to the
boys and girls of the Philippine Islands
much more widely than it is to the chill
dren in the schools of the United States.
The little Filipino gir, and her big sister
as well, must learn how to cooA, how to
take care of the house and how to care
for children. Then they are taught all
about sanitation, so that they will know
how to take care Of their homes and keep
the surroundings in such order that fevers
will be kept in abeyance and epidemics
viii have no encouragement to develop.
Altogether the Filipino boys and girls
have pretty busy times under Uncle
Sans regime. And with all the rest Of
their industries they devote a good deal
Of time to music and oratory, for both of
which they are peculiarly fitted.

Arrival of Teddy Bull Moose in Toyland

TEDDY BULL MOOSE has routed
Teddy Bear. With his branching
sntlers and his determined express
sion, the Bull Moose has plunged into
toyland and taken his stand right in the
centre, where he purposes to be monarch
of all the toys. There's no animal in
my class" Teddy Bull Moose seems to
say, as he glares about at the bears and
the woolly dogs and the other animals
that populate toyland. Even the dolls
sit back and look with wonder at the
new arrival
The Teddy Bull Moose is brown in
color, with q soft, hairy body and head
made of unbreakable composition. His
head turns in all directions, SO that he
can change his expression with each bend
of the neck. He is also able to take a
different stand each minute, as his legs
are jointed to enable him to achieve aero
batic feats and to exhibit himself as a
contortionist.
This animal is sure to add to the gayety
of toyland. Even those who have preju.
dices against the original Bull Moose
will find them weakening when they see
this creature leap into the arena. He
is SO comically aggressive and really sol
harmless. Those who adore the Bull
Moose in any form will give, this symbol
of their idol thousand welcomes.
Children who have an assortment of
other toys need not fear to introduce the
Teddy Bull Moose among them, as hisl
inventor guarantees him to be good

year the children of the islands planted
100000 trees, and although only 800. 100
of these survived after few months, in
sufficient care having been taken of them
when they were planted, the remaining
trees will be great addition to the wealth
of the country when they grow to ma

In the province of Bulacan, the Filipino
boy and girl take part in the family hat
weaving industry, and SO popular have
become the bamboo hats that the export
ers are not able TO get all that they want
TO send 10 this country. For this reason
the United States government has been
having weaving of these bamboo hats
taught in the schools, not that the children
themselves are able to acquire the art
quickly enough to do much in the way of
producing hats in between school hours.
