DIDN'T NEED TO SWEAR OFF
It Was Really a Monkey the Ohio
Man Saw In His Hotel
Bed.
The story of the monkey that was
discovered in the bed of a visitor at
the Waldorf a few nights ago struck
a responsive chord In the recollection
of an Ohio man who once came to
New York for a week of rest and
recreation.
The day be landed he got into a
poker game and for seven days he
stuck at It, the game being punctuat
ed as many poker games are. On the
last day he started In to play at 3
o'clock In the afternoon. He quit at
11:20, cleaned out.
Going upstairs in his hotel and
opening the door, he noticed his valise
sitting on the floor and decided he
would get a clean handkerchief out of
It and sit down and think It over. As
he stooped over his glance fell upon
the bed. From the spot where his
head might have been two beady
green eyes In a hairy little face
gleamed at him.
According to the Ohloan's account
he made not a single exclamation.
He simple closed the valise, turned
out the light and shut the door from
the outside. He went downstairs,
took two or three turns about the
lobby, gave it up, called for a cab
and spent the night driving about,
first to one place and then to another.
Daylight found him still going about,
and he did not revisit the hotel until
late in the afternoon, when he went
up to the room clerk to apologize.
While standing there he heard
somebody say, "Well, they found that
monkey after all."
"Good Lord. I am saved," shouted
the 'Ohio man, to the astonishment of
the clerk. "Then it was a monkey aft
er- all, and there is no need of my
swearing off."
.Bees Recognize Man as Friend.
"Charles Potchenlck, employed by
tfe ; Maverick apiaries near San An
tonio, Tex., has unusual control over
bees. He handles them with as much
ease as one would In playing with
kittens or a harmless pet While
'working with them he goes bare
armed and bare-faced and pays no
attention to the Insects as they
cre.wl over his exposed hands and
arms or pile up in great clumps on
dis face. Recently he had a picture
taken holding a small limb In his
teeth on which a swarm had settled.
The bees formed a kind of long beard
hanging below his waist and his entire
face was covered with those that
crawled from the limb. Old bee keep
ers say that his feats in handling bees
are the most remarkable in the world.
He claims that he has not been stung
In two years.
Radium Breezes for Gout.
Radium laden breezes are the very
latest thing In the treatment of gout.
One of the papers read at the Ger
man Medical congress wee on the ap
plication of radium in the aerial state.
Radium "emanatoria" have been estab
lished in Berlin and at Bad Homburg,
and now uma is to nave ons. a spe
cie! apparatus in which radium Is
placed in a current of air Is fixed in a
room and all the patients have to do
Is to sit in the room and talk or read
newspapers, or play draughts; the ra
dium in solution in the air does the
rest and affects the blood through the
lungs. This treatment is especially rec
ommended for all gouty ailments.

PROGRESS OF FRENCH WOMEN
If Moliere Lived Now He Would Not
Ridicule Their Education and
Activities.
"thirty years ago there were three
colleges for women In France and one
preparatory school ; now there are seventy-five
colleges and forty-nine pre
paratory schools. What does the
change mean? Moliere, over two cen
turies ago. In "Les Precleuses Ridi
cules" and "Les Femmes Savantes,"
attacked the pose, self-consciousness
and loss of proportion which the wo
men of his time sometimes showed In
attempting to be learned. Moliere
laughed, however, not at education,
but at lack of common sense. If he
lived now he would not try to set back
the clock, and ask women to devote
to the needle'the same attention that
she gave before machinery was In
vented. He would not ask her to live
as she lived before there were public
schools for her children; creameries
to make her butter and cheese; big
manufacturers to take her place in
preserving food; immense combina
tions to spin cotton, make cloth, do
the dyeing, make up the clothing. He
would welcome the vacuum cleaner,
the gas stove and the dumb waiter,
and his laughter would be not for
those- who use modern labor saving
devices, but for the futile sentimen
talists who cry for the vanishing of
the past. The outside education and
activities of women are as unquestion
able and Irresistible as are the print
ing press, the steam engine and the
cotton gin.. Collier's Weekly.
HARD PROBLEM FOR WOMEN
Where Shall Minister Be Entertained
When He Makes Pastoral
Call on Servant?
".bout the hardest problem I have
had to solve in my brief housekeeping
career," said the woman, "is what to
do with the pastor when he calls on
a servant girl. We have- a good girL
She is a regular attendant at a chapel
in the neighborhood. Every so often
the pastor or his assistant, in his
rounds of the parish calls on her.
"I am a heathen myself In the mat
ter of religious observances, neverthe
less I know what is due to gentlemen
of the cloth. The best room about
the house should be at the disposal of
one's spiritual adviser always. Should
Lucy, then, receive her guest in the
parlor, or should they compromise In
the dining room ? The kitchen as a
place for entertaining the minister is
quite out of the question.
"So far, the ministers calling at my
house have been spared even the in
dignity of a dining room reception.
I have taken to th back regions my
self while Lucy held forth in the par
lor. I know other women with church
going maids who are equally consider
ate. Altogether this is a delicate point
on which we need some enlighten
ment from the etiquette experts."
Prince's "Pull" Abolished.
According to custom in China the
members of the imperial family are
above the law. Prince Can-Chi - has
been doing just as he likes recently,
fortified with this immunity. There
Is not a hygienic law that this Inter
esting person has not broken, and his
great recreation seems to have been
to defy the police. At length to the
endurance of the police there came a
limit, and the matter was brought un
der the notice of the regent, who has
not only abolished the "convention,"
but the prince's recreations also, and
given Instructions that in future he
must act as an ordinary citizen, or
stand the consequences.
