CONSIDERATE
Ho Spared His Guest the Unpleasant
Little Detail
Two friends one a prosperous look
ing business man and the other at
least well dressed chanced to meet
not long ago and lhe second gentle
man remembered that It was his turn
to buy the dinner so they were soon
repairing to a fashionable restaurant
Their orders were generous and they
lingered long over the good things not
forgetting cigars at the end
When they felt that they really had
to leave or else pay rent the host
showed a bit of fidgetiness and re
quested that the other go outside and
wait for him that there was an un
pleasant little detail he wished to
discuss with the proprietor and could
not think of embarrassing his friend
by having him overhear it The
friend did as requested stepping out
side and waiting at the nearest corner
He had been waiting only about live
minutes when of a sudden the door of
the restaurant flew open and his erst
while host shot through it as from a
catapult followed by some most un
complimentary terms
Whats wrong was the first in
quiry of the waiting friend
Oh nothing much was the an
swer except that the unpleasant lit
tle detail I had to discuss with the
proprietor was that I had no money
to pay for the dinners Pittsburg

A FAMOUS GOOSE
Peter the Pet of the English Cold
stream Guards
Possibly the most remarkable crea
ture ever attached to a regiment was
Peter the ever famous goose of the
Coldstream guards This curious pet
was presented to the Coldstreamers
when they were in Canada by the late
Hon Adolphus Graves and soon it ac
quired a fame which eclipsed that of
all rivals In the way of pets in the
army
When the guard was mounted of a
morning Peter always marched off
with them It 4s recorded that one
night the goose saved a sentrys life
by flying In the face of a rebel who
was just going to fire at the soldier
Peters timely aid disconcerted the
rebel who fired at random The sen
try immediately responded by shoot
ing the rebel dead
When the guards came home and
were quartered in London one of the
sights when the regiment marched
out was to see Peter strutting at the
head of the battalion till they passed
the barrack gate when the goose re
turned Unhappily Peters fate was
unheroic His end was ill in accord
with his martial career for he was
run over and killed by a cab and that
not even a taxicab It was a poor
kind of an end for a bird with such
a record London Telegraph
Old English Laws About Buttons
Buttons have engaged the attention
of legislators even more frequently
than hats Five acts have been pass
ed to protect the button industry of
England and some of these are still
unrepealed An act of George 1 in
flicts a penalty of 40 shillings on any
person using or selling buttons made
of cloth serge drugget frieze or cam
let
This law says the London Daily
Mail was a source of intense annoy
ance to foreign visitors and the author
of Le Parisieu a Londres a guide
written in 17S9 is careful to explain
its provisions at considerable length
ne adds however that foreigners
who are able to prove that their
clothes were made in their own coun
try escape the penalty when first sum
moned on the understanding that they
change their buttons within twenty
four hours

A P1NLESS HAT
Comes From Paris and Is to Baffle
Theater Men Too
Can you beat a woman No sooner
do we have agitation over stllctto llke
hatpins In Chicago street cars than
along comes a woman with a hat
which doesnt need a pin at all And
not only that but to get around those
inconsiderate theater managers who
Insist that the women remove their
millinery creations no matter how
pretty or new or costly this same wo
man has a hat which wouldnt at
tract the attention of the most zeal
ous head usher Its the same hat
too
This young woman Is Miss Mary
Glenn of Evanston III The hat she
brought along with several others
from Paris Miss Glenn recently re
turned home after a six months tour
of Europe not the least Important
stop of which was the millinery mart
of the French capital
No hatpins and they just cant
require me to removo it in the the
ater said Miss Glenn as she donned
hor treasure She placed It upon her
head without the aid of a mirror and
demonstrated the absurdity of nnj
theater manager requiring the removal
of such a minute thing
Yes I purchased It In Paris It
Is called a theater hat and as you
see It Is made of gold cord with an
algret and fits closely to the head
I never thought it would cause so
much comment and I never will visit
Europe again If I know that my re
turn will cause so much comment
Before I loft the steamer In New
York some photographer had taken
my picture for although the hat Is to
be worn at the play I just couldnt
wait and had to wear it while we
landed
Miss Glenn related how another wo
man objected to her wearing it In a
New York theater
She objected said the owner but
I was not required to remove It

something that will make every Amer

CALLING AT THE VATICAN
Ex Diplomatists Views on the Popoa
Reception of Strangers
After the dispatch from Home stat
ing former President Itooscvclls rea
sons for uot calling on tiny jope during
his recent stay at Home was read to a
well known diplomat who did not
wish his name to bo used he said
There Is nothing surprising in the re
fusal of the pope to receive Theodore
Roosevelt The same thing 1ms occur
red with foreign princes who have vis
ited Rome and Is the reason why the
emperor of Austria and the king of
Spain never go there Troubles how
ever generally arise over the conflict
between the Quirlnal and the Vatican
If the king of England went to Rome
and called first at the Qulrlnal palace
to see the king the pope would refuse
to receive him
AH kinds of devices have been tried
to get around this obstacle Two years
ago an cx presldent of Brazil went tc
Rome and called at the Qulrlnal and
then left Rome for a trip Into the coun
try which lasted a week On his re
turn he went direct to the Vatican and
was received as It was regarded as a
second visit to the city One of the
Hohenzollern princes went to Rome a
year ago and had an audience with the
king Then he went away for a month
and came back to see the pope and
was received through the subterfuge
of the second visit
What is the procedure for an Amer
ican citizeu to pursue In getting an au
dience with the pope he was asked
The usual way replied the diplo
mat Is to call on Bishop Kennedy
at the American college in Rome and
he arranges the audience The United
States embassy has no relations with
the Vatican Numbers of prominent
Catholics from the United Stntcs take
over letters of introduction from Car
dinal Gibbons or Archbishop Farley
which they present to Mgr BIsletl at
the Vatican and get an audience with
the pope direct
Personally he Is very well disposed
toward Americans and likes them very
much On an average the pope re
ceives from 2500 to 3000 Americans
a year Protestants as well as Catho
lics are included in this number but
naturally the latter are largely In the
majority The audiences are given In
the royal suit In the Vatican and are
of two kinds private and in groups
In a private audience the head of the
Catholic church shakes hands and con
verses with the Individual to whom It
has been accorded In the groups of
pilgrims or other large bodies not ex
ceeding 200 the pope passes down the
line and bestows a general blessing
and holds out his hand for the par
ticipants In the audience to kiss the
ring
BOOTS FOR MINISTER GAGE
Scorns Shiny Pumps and Lord Faun
tleroy Pants For Court Functions
With eighteen new pairs of long leg
ged boots Henry T Gage ex governor
of California left Los Angeles the oth
er day for King Manuels court in Lis
bon to be American envoy extraordi
nary and minister plenipotentiary to
Portugal Governor Gage and his
boots are an institution in California
but when his appointment was an
nounced he received from a Loudon
tailor who makes a specialty of diplo
matic outfitting a circular sternly in
forming him that he must provide him
self with smalls silk stockings and
shiny pumps
According to the best information
from the firing line the newly appoint
ed diplomat threw the diagrams of
what he called Lord Fauntleroy
pants in the waste paper basket and
sent out for those eighteen pails of
huge boots
Im going to go dressed as an Amer
ican said he and In full length
trousers not to mention boots
Since his youth Mr Gage has stuck
to real boots When he was elected
governor his friends chuckled and said
that they had him for they said They
dont make patent leather boots But
when the Inaugural took place the gov
ernor elect triumphantly led the grand
march in a pair of patent leather dress
boots
