The young ladies Gould are oer
tainly progressive. For many years
people knew that Jay Gould lived on
Fifth avenue, had a big family and
was a very good domestic, sleepless
little man who boiled milk on a gas
stove for insomnia and made enough
money to keep the wolf from coming
in the oak front door. The public
knew nothing further about tne do
mestic life of the Goulds. Then
George married an actress. She was
good, beautiful, young, and old Jay
Gould was very fond of her. That
was all the public knew about it.
Then Jay Gould died. Helen made
her debut and George bought a yacht.
Helen was philanthropic and enter
tained but little; she preferred poor
boys and mission houses to society
people and dances. She soon left the
“world" for home and charitable
works. George raced the Vigilant
against the prince of Wales and got
badly beaten.
Now Helen and Anna, two of the
wealthiest young women in the coun
try, are about to take up a law
course. They are both said to have
inherited their father's business in
stinct!, and are devoting their time
to spending in ways wise, judi
cious and charitable the fortunes
which were left to them. Helen is
interested in the building of houses
for the poor, and has much property
as well as countless philanthropic
schemes which she attends to herself.
Anna has been seriously thinking of
becoming a princess, and wants to
know how to keep her royal husband
within bounds. They are going to
take a full law course under the tui
tion of Professor Russell. Of course,
in a very short time they will know
the difference between American and
Roman law, the rights of property
holders and how to creep out as well
as into a lawsuit, and these fair wo
men will not force Howard to pay out
$10,000, or wicked lawyers will not
impose on the young millionairesses
and foreign noblemen demand their
purchase price down, or the young
ladies will “know the reason why.”
AT THE DENTIST’S.
the Forceps- Wlelder Is Told a Rather
Unpleasant Thing.
A well-known Chicago dentist tells
an excellent story on himself that
will bear the light of day. The
gentleman is the owner, among other
possessions, of a cottage on Congress
street and, as with most old-fashioned
buildings of the kind, it has an out
house and other primitive con
veniences in the rear of the premises.
A new tenant of the cottage made it
a sine qua non that before he signed
the lease the service of a scavenger
should be engaged and accordingly
one of those useful but extremely
malodorous functionaries was en
gaged.
About a week after this a well
dressed man called at the doctor's
office at the corner of Madison and
Ashland boulevard with a bill. It
was the scavenger. The doctor
promptly paid the bill, remarking
that the work had been well done.
The man lingered around a few mo
ments and finally said:
“Doctor, you’re a dentest, ain’t
you?”
“Yes.”
“You have to pull and fill teeth?”
“Certainly; have you anything you
Wish attended to?”
“Naw,” drawled the scavenger, “but
I couldn’t help thinking you must be
in an extremely unpleasant business.”
“1 could have stood this from pretty
nearly anybody but a scavenger,” de
clared the doctor.
Told of Professor Swing.
One winter morning, the late Pro
fessor Swing was sauntering slowly
along near his home in Chicago. The
stone pavements were coated with
ice, and a woman who lived in the
neighborhood was cautiously picking
her way along. Suddenly her feet
flew out and she came down hard
upon the sidewalk. Professor Swing
paused to satisfy himself that she was
not seriously injured. Then he dryly
remarked: “Mrs. S-, in my opinion
you aro a good woman.” Piqued at
his remark, and at the same time at
her predicament, she retorted: “I
don’t know why you think so. What
do you mean?” “Scripture has it,”
gravely replied Professor Swing,
“that ‘the wicked stand in slippery
places.’ You seem to be sitting
down.”
Mystery of tha Oyster Bed*
One of the greatest natural curiosi
ties in the world is the Texas oyster
bed. This bed extends across the
entire state from south to north, and
has lain long enough to become strat
ified. The shells are soft when first
taken out, but harden upon exposure
to the atmosphere. At Henrietta, in
the Panhandle, a number of beautiful
buildings have been constructed of
this material. At Weatherford and
San Antonio shell roads have been
made. The oysters embrace several
species long since extinct, and while
geologists agree that Texas must at
one time have been at the bottom of
the gulf of Mexico, they are at a loss
to account for the presence of that
oyster bank, there being none found
east or west of the strata.
A own With a History.
The city of ’Hamburg has been en
fete,for it celebrated the other day the
1,000th year of its existence. lu the
churches festival services were held,
the burghers gave receptions and all
sorts of rejoicings took place among
the people. Hamburg, or ileimburg,
is a city of lower Austria, on the
Danube, twenty-seven mles from
Vienna. It was there that, A. D. 907,
the Magyars gained a great victory
over the Germans. Hamburg is fa
mous for its royal tobacco factory.

JOHN’S FESTIVE IDEA
But It Discouraged the Young Lady
' fl ho Was Teaching Him.
A clever girl, who would make a
sensation in society if fate had been a
little more kind to her in a material
way, lives on a side street and is a
constant source of amusement and
joy to her little circle of friends. She
is poor; site is compelled to turn and
return her goWns; trim and retrim
her bonnets and make all sorts of lit
tle sacrifices, and all because fate de
creed that her father should be a
quiet, unambitious, conscientious,
dreaming sort of a fellow, instead of
a bustling, money-making, successful
merchant. This girl amuses herself
with all sorts of tilings that other
girls seldom think of. Her latest ex
ploit is a class of Chinamen, into
whose wooden heads she is endeavor
ing to inject a faint idea of the limita
tions of tlie English language and in
cidentally the Christian religion.
In her class on a recent Sunday,
she was giving Ching Poi an object
lesson on the wonderful creations of
God.
‘‘See, Ching,” she said, “see this
beautiful rose. God made this rose,
lie made it to look pretty and smell
sweet. God made all things, Ching.
lie made you and He made me. Now,
tell mo, Ching, who made the rose?”
Ching grinned and said: “God;
He makee lose.”
“riiat’s right, Ching. Now, why
did He make the rose?”
“He makee lose to look pletty and
smellee sweet.”
“That’s right. Who made you,
Ching?”
“God makee me,” replied Ching.
He makee mo to look pletty and
smellee sweet.”
She is endeavoring to teach the
Chinamen a few other things, but
will let personal similes with the rose
rest for awhile.
OUR FIRST ADMIRAL.
A I'ropoteil HI on inn m t to Knelt Hopkins
of Providence.
Patriotic Rhode Islanders propose
to erect a monument at Providence to
•Commodore Ezek Hopkins. This
worthy was born on his father's
farm at Chapumiscoolc, now Chopmist,
Scituatc, Ii. I., April 30. 1718. When
the seven years’ war broke out in
17f>0 he wont out in one of his vessels
as a privateer captain and returned
to Providence with a valuable Spanish
vessel, which he renamed the Desire
in honor of his wife.
The first official service he rendered
in the revolution was as the com
mander of a battery of six eighteen
pounders erected on Fox Hill, over
looking1 Providence harbor, in the
summer of 1775.
Upon the organization of the “con
tinental navy” he was appointed by
congress “commander-in-chief” Dec.
23, 1775. He was relieved of his mili
tary command in Rhode island and
immediately proceeded to Phila
delphia in the sloop Ivaty with 100
men specially enlisted for naval
service.
On Feb. 17, 1770, he sailed from
Delaware bay witli a squadron of
eight vessels, and conducted the suc
cessful Nassau expedition. John
Paul Jones was a lieutenant under
Adams who, until his hitch with the
marine committee of congress, was
practically “admiral.”
A NEW FRENCH TIRE.
Intended to Replaoo the Pneumatic
Tire—Hade Y1 ith Compartments.
A new bicycle tire has just been
devised by M. M. Gerard, city engi
neer of Bordeaux and Picon, which is
intended to do away with the defects
of all other tires. It consists in sub
stance of a thin rubber tube whose
inner surface is intersected by rubber
disks perpendicular to it and placed
close to one another; disks and
surface are all moulded in one piece.
The disks are thicker at the circum
ference than at the center, to pre
vent the tube from sinking into the
interstices between supports,and they
are made eccentric so as to distribute
the resisting power of the surface
without increasing the weight of the
tire. They divide the tire into a
very large number of air chambers,
perfectly independent of one another,
so that if one is pierced the others are
not affected. These add to the elas
ticity of the tire, and do not need to
be filled with compressed air. The
motion is as easy as that of the best
pneumatic tires, while the accidents
to which pneumatic tires are subject
are done away with.
The tiro can be applied at once to
all rims for solid or hollow tiros. For
pneumatic tiro machines some slight
but inexpensive modification of the
rim will be necessary.
TIio Lnwjrnr's Threat.
The hook peddler had called at
the lawyer’s office to sell him a book
and the lawyer very peremptorily
didn't want any book. The peddler
insisted and the lawyer continued to
decline. At last the lawyer rose in
wrath. “Now, look here,” he said
emphatically, ‘T’ve told you I don’t
want your book, and I meant what I
said. Furthermore, my advice to you
is to get out of this promptly, or I'll
throw you out.” The peddler was
about to make a remark. “And,” in
terrupted the lawyer, “let me also
say if vou hesitate, I shall charge you
for that advice, and levy oa your
books to satisfy judgment. Now git,”
and the suppressed peddler got.
February May Have Five Sunday..
It is only possible for February to
have live Sundays three times in each
century, unless,through some chrono
logical freak the century comes in
with a leap year, with the first day of
February a Sunday. The five Sunday
Februarvs of this century have been
those of ISM, 1852 and 1883. The
next time this oddity will occur will
be in the year 1920.

HARD-PAN BUSINESS.'
. _ i
There Was no Sentiment In This Par
ticular Transaction.
He stepped out of a doorway on a
city avenue the other night and con
fronted a pedestrian to say:
“Time is money and I will detain
you but a moment.”
“That's right—what is it?” was the
query.
“You have no money for such as
me?"
“No, sir—no, sir!”
"Because 1 would make for the
nearest saloon and spend it for drink?"
“That’s it exactly.”
"Ilut, on the other hand, you are a
humane man and would not see me
want for food?”
“I might be willing to fill you up at
a restaurant, but I’m not buying boer
for tramps.”
“Certainly not. We now come to
business. To fill me up at the cheap
est restaurant in this town- would
cost you from $0 to S3, as I have eaten
nothing for a week. On the other
hand, you can buy me ott' for fifteen
cents in cash. Sentiment does not
enter into the question. You either
pay out at least $0 or only fifteen
cents. It’s for you to say which. Ow
ing to the hard times you—”
“Here's your fifteen,” said the pe
destrian, as he jingled two coins in
his palm.
“Thanks—that’s business.”
“But as you have consumed thirty
cents' worth of my valuable time I’ll
replace it in my pocket and send you
a bill for the balance. Straight busi
ness—no sentiment—good night.”
And the tramp watched him out of
sight and heaved a long sigh and
whispered to himself:
“That’s a horse on me, and I guess
I’d better look around for a saddle or
harness.”
In Vino Veritas.
It was a convivial party, and it had
reached that stage where the “invis
ible spirit of wine” makes itself de
cidedly visible. One of the party was
of the kind that carry well a heavy
load, and even when fully cargoed
present but few evidences to the eye
of such a condition. Another was of
exactly the opposite nature, one of
those individuals who when in their
cups look it, smell of it, and are alter
nately laughing and crying, aggres
sive and affectionate. The quieter
looked the noisier over while the lat
ter was making an unpleasant exhi
bition of himself and remarked to a
neighbor: “How—hie—how much a
drunken drunkard disgusts a sober
drunkard!”
Heart Disease 30 Yrs!
Short Breath, Palpitation.
Mr. G. W. McKinsey, postmaster of
Kokomo, Ind., and a brave ex-soldler,
says: “I had been severely troubled
with heart disease ever since leaving
the army at the close of the late war.
I was troubled with palpitation and
shortness of breath. I could not
sleep on my left side, and had pain
around my heart I became so ill
that I was much alarmed, and for
tunately my attention was called to
Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure
