The Inner Life.

A anecdote about the Sultan OF
~ Turkey was told at the Philadel-
phia Club the other day.
A famous woman writer, it appears,
was visiting Constantinople and
through her ambassador she was pre-
sented to the sultan.
"And how do you like Constantinople,
madam" the commander of the faith
full asked her.
"Oh. very well indeed" she answered,
And then, In the hope of bringing the
conversation round to her books. she
added, But I find I can't live my in

bandit covered his trusty with wooden

silver paper from his tobacco, the foil

Like most highwaymen, the Martin
brothers, who worked that section of the
country. were finally shot by United
States marshals, but their companion es-
capped into the Usage nation. 1t was the
chief aim of these men to intercept the
governments Indian payments to the
Osages, but despite their daring they
never accomplished this desire.
The romance Of the oil business, though
not as exciting as the pursuits of the out
law, is just as interesting. From the
many stories of the oil country which
como to public notice under the caption
From Pauper to Millionaire one might
suppose it to be a common occurrence
for man to go to the oil field in poverty,
obtain funds for prospecting. strike oil
and become fabulously wealthy. Some
times this story is enacted and then the
success is heralded far and wide. Oil men
say that not more than one man in a
thousand who puts money in an oil ven

1t is said that but few oil fields have ever
paid their entire investment to the opera

the sand which would otherwise yield

hazard of the business. oil is itself

from $1.05 barrel to about As cents.
The oil industry, about fifty-f1ve
years old. has progressed more rapid

HOSPITALITY THAT IS REAL
Comparison Of the Modern Dinner
Party With the Spirit II
VaInly Emulates.

II is easy to be hospitable when
one has a surplus, but even more de-
lightful to receive the hospitality Of
those who only have enough. These
give you of themselves; the rich
often only of their purchases. What
they are and what they have, they
give freely enough, and they are en-
tirely without that simian and vul-
gar notion Of hospitality that when
one entertains one must give not
what others are accustomed to,
which has made the modern dinner
party such an arid thing. Who
would not give all the chef-tinkered
dishes he has ever eaten to have a
chop and a potato and pipe with
Doctor johnson or a cigarette with
"Chinese" Gordon or Robert Louis
Stevenson; or a curry with Give.
or a buckwheat cake and strip with
Lincoln; or a sausage and a glass Of
beer with Goethe; or a glass of
punch with Vasa or Gustavus Adolf
phus; or to have said "Skaal" over a
glass of the plainest vintage with
Bjornson and Ibsen; to be put to sit
at the same table with those modern
vikings, Sven Hedin and Nansen
and Amundsen? The scandinavian,
the democrat of the most ancient
lineage in the world, seems to know
better than almost anyone else what
independence means.-Price Collier

WAR REEVES OLD HYMNS.

An interesting feature Of the
changes in sentiment brought about
in the Hapsburg monarchy by the
war is the new popularity acquired
by the old Kossuth hymn. Until
recently that stirring Magyar song
was frowned upon by the authorities
as revolutionary; now, with the sub
stitution of the name Of Francis
Joseph (Ferencz josef for that of
Kossuth Lajos, it has acquired a
new meaning and the streets Of Blu
dapest resound with its strains, as
do the streets of Vienna with
Haydn's Scott erhalte," to the sat
isfaction of Hungarians and Aus
TRANS alike.

GLASS EYES TO BE SCARCE
European War Has Prevented lmpor
tation of Requisite Materials
Into This Country.

Glass eyes are getting scarcer and
higher in price, wholesale dealers
say, with no prospect of an increased
supply while the war continues. The
authorities in the trade say that
more than three hundred thousand
people in this country wear glass
eyes and keep on buying them from
time to time, as the eyes usually
wear out within year or two.
New York is the center of the
trade in this country. The whole
salers here say that all of their inn
ported eyes are from Germany. The
importers also manufacture eyes in
New York, but all Of the material
used in making the eyes comes from
Germany. This material includes
special qualities of clear and colored
: glass which are combined in the
process of manufacture in order t.
initiate as closely as possible the ap.
pearance of natural eyes.
No shipment of eyes or material
for eyes has been received since the
war began. The present supply Of
manufactured eyes, the wholesalers
say, will last only few months.

WOLVES TAKE PART IN WAR.

The heavy fighting in Galicia has
brought out all the beasts and birds
of the Polish forests in wild alarm.
Seeming the lakes of blood that

victors, whose boots and clothes are
crusted with blood after fighting,
right to their camps. Often at

KILLS BIRD HE ONCE MANNED
Rancher Who Accidentally Amputated
Pheasant's Leg Shoots II
Year Later.

The story Of Lord Franklin, who
liberated a number Of marked birds
from his pleasantly in Devonshire,
and two years later took one of the
birds while on hunting trip in the
north Of France, has a counterpart
in a story which comes from Cath
cart, Snohomish county, vouched
for by Robert d. Jones Of that place.
While moving hay last June Abe
Burger, a Cathcart rancher, sur
prised a mother pheasant and her
brood in the tall grass. One of the
flock was overtaken by the mower,
which amputated both of its legs. 1t
escaped to an alder thicket.
While hunting recently Burger
winged pheasant When he recov-
cred the bird both of its legs were
missing, a fact which recalled the
accident Of the early summer. The
bird had become full grown, was in
perfect condition, plump, and in fact
larger than the average Of this years
birds taken in the locality,
The wounds had completely
healed and nature, in the process Of
healing, had developed a substitute
for claws in the form of hard scales
at the extremities.-Seattle Post
