He had not :«en sure that he wanted to do so. Now he came to the house rather be - ause he was used to coming to see ' the ladies." once in so often. Alicia's mother was fond of him, for she had known him s.nee he was in dresses, and she regarded him as a bey. Of A : ia he stood somewhat in awe. "Reggy will be a good one to begin v. " tii ugh: the young woman. I-----, He will be easy to influence. After 1 have refused him 1 can try some one more difficult " Thu* M.ss Wellington began her career as a flirt. That evening Reggy came to the house. He found Alicia wonderfully interesting. She talked a tout cotillon figures, pretty girls, fudges and golf. Reginald was in de mand as a cotillon leader, he was a chevalier des dames, an expert chafing d>h cook &DJ an inspiring golf player. "Gwacious. I never thought she knew no much.” he said to himself, as he left the house. But this was only because Alicia had displayed knowl edge of the subjects with which Reggy was conversant, for he had always known that she was "intellectual.” It was scarcely a week before Reggv again presented himself at the Wel 1 ngtons. He asked for Miss Welling ton. :nstead of for “the ladies.” He was unconscious of the neglect of Mrs. Wellington but wary Alicia smiled w. **c she alone, was summoned to the drawing-room. "O. Mr. De Greve,” she said—hereto f re h«- had called him Reggy—“I i now you can help me solve something that has been worrying my poor brain.” She took a seat beside the young i rr.jn and submitted her "something” that had been worrying her. It was only a charade, an intricate one, how ever. to which Alicia knew the answer. Ii< ggy did not suspect that he was good at puzzles. He solved this one •.» .iy. and explained the elaborate process to Miss Wellington. 'Thank you. Mr. De Greve, you are «■> lever,” said Alicia, exactly as she ini heard Lottie say the same words t different men at least a hundred times. That evening as Reggy went away h - predominant thought was, "She thinks me clever.” In the course of time Alicia enn v Reggy that she was uncommon ly pretty, agreeable, not too wise, and c.T(,ir*-ther charming—just the woman to pr* . idf over his house and help him spend bis rather large patrimony. She !. so convinced him that he was clever, witty ar.d manly Indeed, under the r:n of her approval he grew wonder fully until he was quite a different Reggy. At last the srhemed-for proposal tc< k place. Satisfied with himself, and rru'h more than satisfied with the ac compl>hed Alicia. Reggy asked her to be his wife. Alicia foresaw the coming offer, of course. She made ‘ready to refuse it. She even chose her next victim, William Giles, a lawyer of skill and renown. He would be diffi cult to enthrall, but a foeman worthy 1 of her steel But she did net think of William when Reggy proposed. She watched “the boy.” as she called him in her heart, with a curious pride. “How well he does it.” she thought. “Love has made a man of him. He is desperately in earnest; he is charming—he is adorable.” “Why, Reggy.” she said aloud, to her own astonishment, "I believe I do love you. Yes, I will marry you, after ail—yes, yes I will.” The happy Reggy did not notice the peculiar wording of Alicia’s acceptance of his heart and fortune. He had won her. and his joy seemed complete. No one but his wife ever knew that he had been the subject of an experiment. —Chicago Tribune. A VORACIOUS CAPRA. Cloat Dined on the Horse’s Tall — An Atuusinc Incident. Henry Travers and Otto Koop, who lives a few doors away, have long been the closest of friends. But now they never speak as they pass by, and ’tis all owing to Travers’ goat and Koop’s long-tailed bay mare. The bay mare had a tail that reached the ground and the goat an appetite that was indis eriminating and only limited by his ambulatory and reaching powers. But the horse's tail instead of sweeping the floor as of ycre, is now but a jagged bunch of hair, fully a foot and a half away from the ground. The facts in the case are somewhat hazy, but Mr. Koop says: "My heart is almost brok en. Why, the tail of that horse was the best part of it. I wouldn't have taken $F»00 for that mare, but now look at it! That confounded goat of Trav ers’ had to come in here and chew off its tail and disfigure the finest looking horse in Toledo. Why in heaven's name didn't Travers feed his old billy goat, so that he would stay at home instead of trespassing around chewing up horses' tails. It’s a blamed shame, and I'm going down town to see a law yer friend of mine and see if I can’t get damages. No. the mare ain't much cf a runner or trotter, but you just ought to have seen that tail. I'll kick a lung cut of that goat if I get a chance.” "Kick a lung out of my goat, will he?” indignantly .snorted Mr. Travers when told what Koop had said. “Just let him try it. Damages? Fiddlesticks! How is he to sue me? I didn’t eat the tail. Why doesn’t he keep his stable door shut if he is so particular?”—Toledo News. TO AMUSE THE SHAH. Immaterial to Him Who Was Exe cuted. Mar.v stories are told of the shah of Persia in connection with his last visit to England. One of these tales, prob ably more amusing than true, is that he advised the Prince of Wales quietly to make away with a certain extremely influential duke, as the latter was growing too powerful to be safe. But a story which is vouched for is the ac count of the shah's visit to Newgate prison. While there he suddenly re quested to see an execution. He was courteously informed that at the pres ent moment there was no one under sentence. The shah swept away these trifling objections with a wave u£ his hand. “Take one of my suite,” said he. “Any one will do.” And he was woefully disappointed because the offi cials on the spot declined to comply with his request. The shah had a mag nificent collection of jewels, among them being an emerald nearly as large as a hen's egg. The present shah will make a continental tour this summer, visiting England in July. It is said that he is bringing with him a num ber of costly and beautiful gifts for his royal and imperial hosts in all the places he intends to visit. His tour will take six months. He intends to stop in Russia, Germany, Austria, France, Greece and England. 4 Not ktipemritinoH. Even ancient superstitions are not respected by the modern woman of fashion. She has herself photographed in her wedding dress before she is mar ried. has her trousseau marked with her new initials instead of her maiden name, and otherwise flies in the face of traditions which, to her grandmoth er, were sacred because of their very antiquity, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. | At the present moment the most fa vored gem for mounting as a charm , is the opal, the stone banned for years as an omen of bad fortune to the wear- j er.

There is only one other stone which can rival them in popularity, and that is the pale ! green jade. -iw 11 Utah's Capital. Salt Lake City still presents one of 1 the most absorbingly interesting fields for the sociologist to be found on this continent. The conditions ! most vital to a people’s life are there far beneath the surface and cannot be comprehended in a day, nor by a sojourner who looks exclusively through either Mormon or Gentile eyes. Two generations have been born into the Mormon religion, and the traditions of the church are as binding to them as those of century- j old creeds to their followers. The man ! who you are told has “broken away” ! from the faith you find upon acquaint- j ance to be half a Mormon still. The ‘ good Mormon” who is pointed out to you will be found to be, in nine cases ! out of ten, half Gentile.—New Lippin- . cott. A Link in the Past. Mrs. Alexander Capperton, who died J in Kirkhili, Scotland, the other day, was one of the few links connecting the present with the time of Sir Walter Scott. She entered his service when sixteen, and remembered hearing his heavy footfall on the stairs at five every morning when he came down for his buttermilk and porridge. She was with him when he died and received a lock of his hair from Mrs. Lockhart,— Philadelphia Preae. , — - SMITH ON ' BOERS. HE DEPLORES GREED OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. History, He Says, Shows So More Memorable Fight Than the Present War—Says Victory Over Boers Will Be a Moral Defeat. Prof. Goldwin Smith, who gave up a place in British politics and also a position in Oxford University in order that he might live in Canada, has re cently returned from a European trip and has given his views on the Boer war. “None cf my English friends,” he says, “has ever doubted what would be the issue of a war in which the en tire forces of the British Empire were opposed to those of a population not half as large as the population of Liv erpool. The Boers have put into the field decrepitude and childhood. They have no reserves. We shall win, and, having won, we shall, too, probably, reap in the judgment of posterity a measure of the same glory which we reaped by the burning of Joan of Arc. We shall be fortunate if we escape the guilt of opening an era of unscrupu lous rapacity and violence which might throw back for a century the progress cf moral civilization. “A civilian can have nothing to say about this dispute as to the conduct of our generals. The generals were dis tinguished men. The British soldier has shown his wonted valor. Canadian and Australian have fought gallantly at his side. Our military administra tion seems also to Lave really done well and put into the field with strik ing rapidity an unexpected amount of force. But besides the difficulties of the country, we have encountered in our enemy a moral force on which we did not reckon and which escaped the discernment of Cecil Rhodes. We have encouraged in its greatest intensity ; that enthusiastic patriotism which j turns the sluggard’s blood to flame. ! Can history show a more memorable j fight for independence than that made by the Boer? Does it yield to that made by Switzerland against Austria and Burgundy, or that made by the Tyrolese under Hofer? The Boer gets no pay; no comforts and luxuries are provided for him bv fashionable soci ety; he can look forward to no medals or pensions; he voluntarily endures the i utmost hardships of war; his disci- i pline, though unforced, seems never j to fail. Bo£s of sixteen—a correspond ent at the Cape tells me even at four teen—take the rifle from the hand cf the mother, who remains to pray for them in her lonely home, and stand be- | side their grandsires to face the mur derous artillery of modern war. A 1 newspaper correspondent the other day saw a boy of sixteen lying mangled on the field, and saying: It does not hurt much; only I am so thirsty.’ Rude, narrow minded, fanatical in their religion, these men may be; so , were the old Scotch Calvinists; so have been some of the noblest wild- \ stocks of humanity; but surely they 1 are not unworthy to guard a nation. “Ax on shoulder the Boers twice went out to make for themselves a home in the wilderness where they | might live their own life. Who had a j right to take it from them? Her Brit annic majesty did not create Africa. 1 There is too much truth in the saying that this is the second Jameson raid. ! It makes me sad to think into what hands my country has fallen.” Word* Born In the War. It will be interesting to note what marks the present war will leave on j our manners, customs and language. A big war has results of this kind. The wars with Napoleon gave us •■Wel lingtons," • Bluchers." and probably, the long military cloak. The Russian war supplied us with a new name for girls, "Alma,” broke down the military monopoly of a fringed upper lip, and made the long familiar sight of his polished mahogany obsolete for the Englishman who reached the stage of his dinner when dessert is laid and the ■ wine goes round. That war made I mustaches common and “coasters" a curiosity. The great Franco-Prussian campaign had comparatively little so cial influence on us—probably because we were not actual belligerents. We learned to take interest in maneuvers, a word which soon superseded the old "sham fights.” As yet the present war has influenced more our language than our customs. Trekking, outspanning. veldt, laager are slipping into use. Khaki has become a familiar color, and "colonial” uniform familiar in our streets. We may each note for ourselves these indirect, unobtrusive, but probably lasting influences of the war.—London News. Exalting tbe Filiform. Ever since the outbreak of the South African war military enthusiasm has run high in Great Britain. A London paper relates that at an entertain ment in Edinburgh, soon after the war opened, the audience stopped the per formance to sing the national anthem. Meantime a group of excited men to ward the door caught sight of a man in uniform, and before he could form any idea of what was being done they had him on their shoulders, and were carrying him about the building, shouting and singing. When they had done this to their hearts' content they set him down, and some one asked him, "What’s your regiment?” "Regiment!” he exclaimed. “What’s gone wrang wi’ ye a’? I’m the door keeper!” Sacred Fire* of India. The sacred fires of India have not all been extinguished. The most an cient which still exists was conse crated twelve centuries ago in com memoration of the voyage made by tbe Parsees when they emigrated from Persia to India. The fire is fed five times every two hours with sandal wood and other fragrant materials, combined with very dry fuel. A Fearful Suftpicion. “Don’t you sometimes feel a twinge i of self-reproach in connection with this Puerto Rican matter?” “To tell you the truth,” answered Senator Sorghum, "I do. Every now and then I half suspect that we didn’t get quite as much out of that deal as we might have secured.*' TO FRAME BRIDE’S PICTU VE. ' How a New Chicago Matron Remem bered Her Friend*. A recent Chicago bride who was go ing cut of town to live distributed photographs of herself and farewell gifts to her relatives and friends and had them framed in a unique and at tractive manner. They were to be mounted under glass in the manner familiar to all and known as passe partout, but instead of the usual mat cf linen or cardboard she used a ma terial which was especially appropri ate, and one which made frame as well asas picture worthy of being pre served among the family heirlooms. The picture which she gave her mother had a mat of the white satin which had been used for her wedding dress, and across one corner was a bit of the lace with which the dress was trimmed. To a sister she gave a picture also mounted in the while satin, but with a design of orange blossoms embroidered upon it, while the mount for the one given her maid of honor was of the white satin em broidered with a graceful spray of bride roses. Friends less near re ceived pictures mounted with the goods which had gone to make up the different gowns of her trousseeau. The mount made from the material of her ‘‘going-away gown” had forget-me nots embroidered in small scattered sprays, while some of the silk and figured goods were made up plain, be ing sufficiently decorative in them selves. In each case the mounted pic ture was bound in the glass with a narrow strip of soft leather in a shade to correspond with the color of the mount. Upon the back cf each was plainly written the name and date of the wedding. It is needless to state that the gifts were prized as the pic tures alone never could have been, and it is safe to predict that other brides will follow the graceful fashion. —Chicago Chronicle. A SLIGHT MISTAKE, The Brlde’l Father Ham a Teller, but Not Connected with a Rank. “Can I tell you the meaning of eu phuism?” said an old reporter the other night in response to a question by one of the younger men on the staff. "Why, certainly, my boy. It is the pleasant art cf calling a bootblack a gentleman cf polish, and it’s very val uable in newspaper work, provided you don’t carry the joke too far. I remem ber when I was a cub myself and was working out in Denver a fellow came in one day and asked me to write a nice little notice about the marriage of his brothei to a girl over in Centre City. ‘Who is the bride?’ I asked, so as to get some material for the para graph; ’what is her father's occupa tion?’ 'Why, he’s a—teller,’ said my caller, hesitating a little. All right,' said I, and thinking it would sound a shade finer, I referred to the lady ms The beautiful and accomplished daugh ter of the well known banker of Centre City.’ Next day the boss came in foam ing at the mouth. What in blazes do you mean by speaking of old - as s banker?’ he bellowed. He's a profes sional clairvoyant and the biggest old fraud out of jail! He's got an ad. in the paper right now. offering to reveal the past and future for 35 cents and a lock of your hair!’ I veas overwhelmed with chagrin and hunted up my in formant. ‘Why did you tell me that girl's father was a banker?’ I asked, reproachfully. T didn’t.’ he answered. I said he was a teller.’ ‘It’s one and the same thing,’ I retorted. ‘No. it isn’t,’ said he; ‘you jumped at conclu sions. I didn’t mean a paying teller. J meant a fortune teller.’ ”—New Or leans Times-Demoerat. SITUATION OF WHISKERS. The Mnutachc Is an Ancient Orna ment. From “Robinson Crusoe:” “My beard I had once suffered to grow until it was about a quarter cf a yard long, but as I had both scissors and razors suf ficient, 1 had cut it pretty short, except what grew on my upper lip, which 1 had trimmed into a large pair of Mo hammedan whiskers, such as I had seen worn by some Turks at Sallee, for the Moors did not wear such, though the Turks did; of the mustacb ios, or whiskers, I will not say they were long enough to hang my hat upon them, but they were cf a length and shape monstrous enough, and such as in England would have passed for frightful.” From Wilson’s “History and Antiquities of the Dissenting Churches:” “Joseph Jacob, an inde pendent preacher at Turner's hall, Philpot Lane (in) the beginning of the last century, made a church of his own. He passed an order obliging the j w hole of the congregation to stand dur ing the time of singing. This, though by no means an uncommon thing in the present day. was then looked upon as a great novelty. In this reformed church all periwigs were discarded, the men members wore whiskers upon their upper lips, in which Mr. Jacob set them an example.” From “Hunt er's Travels in 1792:” "They (the Hun garians) shave their beards, except the upper lip, which is generally adorned with a pair of huge whiskers.” A Flying Tonal Gertie*. There are several small islands in the Pacific ocean that belong to Eng land. A vessel was wrecked during a storm on one of these islands, and it was necessary to get word to Auckland. Carrier pigeons were used. They car ried the messages and brought return messages. This success led to the buy ing of a large flock of carrier pigeons, who were trained for the work on these islands. Each bird can carry four messages, each written on paper of a certain quality and size. When fouT messages are ready, a bird is sent off. Each message costs either one shill ing or sixpence. These pigeons are private property. An Exception to the Role. “We ought to put more personal warmth in our letters.” “Oh, I don’t know. A man I knew once put a lot of personal warmth in seme letters, and it got him into court in a breach of promise suit.”—Indianapolis Jour nal. A Dr? Sermon. "How was the temperance ser mon yesterday?” "Dry.”—Philadelphia Bulletin. , Wallace’s Second "Ben' / Fortune. General Lew Wfi.llace*^Hade an in dependent fortune out of the novel of "Ben Hur,” and it appears likely that he will acquire another by the stage version of his book. Klaw & Erianger have just paid him $30,000 in royalties for the six months the play has been running at the Broadway theater, the gross receipts for the period being $450,000. General Wallace was not re quired to write anything for this money. All that he aid for it was to sign a contract giving William Yeung permission to dramatize it for the use of Klaw & Erianger. It looks as if the play would last for several sea sons. 2nd it is possible that General Wallace will receive at least ten times $30,000 before "Pen Hur" is laid on the shelf. The June Century will have some political bearings, including an essay on Reformers by Governor Roosevelt; Hamilton's estimate of Burr, as shown in unpublished documents, and accom panied by new portraits of the two antagonists; “The Business Man and the Consular Service,” by Harry A. Garfield, and the "Origin of the Lin coln Rail" as told to J. McCan Davis by Governor Ogiesbv. Three short stories deal variously with phases of political life; "The Mouse,” by a new writer, the scene being m Washington official life; “Conlon.” a novel charac ter sketch of a heeler's devotion to h.s doss, and “The Stained-Glass Political Platform,” a satirical sketch to which current events are likely to attract special attention.
