' Stokes dropped into a tailoring shop
to look over their new spring things.
The tailor began to throw the suit
ings over his knee in his most engag

of Pennsylvania manufacture tilted
out of -his mouth at a sassy angle,
looked on critically.
"Who'n thunder ever buys such
suits as that one?" inquired Stftkes
amusedly, as be caught sight of a big
green plaid over an ice creamy col

"Oh, you'd be surprised at the num
ber of that kind we sell." replied the
tailor apologetically. "You see, we've
got to have something for everybody's
taste. You. for instance, like the
plainer things. Mebby the next man
will want something striking. We can
take care of either one of you. Fact is,
though, that's a pretty swell suit
when you come right down to it"
"Gee, I'd think a man would have to
choke down a whole lot of self-respect
before he could come out on the public
thoroughfare lighted up in a thing like
that." observed Stokes.

Adventures in
By STRICKLAND
I came here eight years ago as the :
ostensible renter of this farm. I now.
alas, own it This came about through
the trickiness of the former owner,
who showed me the lease and, at the
last moment substituted a deed for
it Nat day when I discovered the
swindle I hunted the owner, but he
had gone? Yet by borrowing a little
each year and writing magazine arti
cles on agriculture (of which I am suf
ficiently ignorant to do so) I have
managed to keep the taxes paid.
My leaving the city is largely, I still
believe, due'to my "boss's eccentricity.
His Ideas of work did not in any de
gree coincide with mine, try as I might
to make him see the error of his ways.
He held an old-fashioned notion that
an employe should arrive at work
about beginning time, work steadily
through till luncheon, then return and
work till closing time. He even held
to the extreme and absurd theory that
when business was rushing the em
ployes should exert themselves to ac
complish more work In a given time
than they ordinarilly produced.
At length, one morning when I had
grown especially 8lckof the hurry
all about me and was- filled with, a
vague uneasiness lest I might catch

and said:
"The quantity, and quality of your

insolence and assumption of inequality

A Croquet Luncheon.
I Along with other, .old-fashioned
things the time-honored game of cro
quet has been revived. These sugges
tions am for a luncheon to follow a
match.
The toblecshnuld be a long one to
carry' out the scheme with best effect
and if a miniature set of croquet can
be purchased it will also simplify
matters. Eight small wickets will be
needed and they are to be. arranged
on the table just as on the ground.
The cage or crossed arches should be
quite tall, as they will form the cen
terpiece. Any handy man (or wom
an) can make these wickets with
blocks of wood and .wire. Wind-the
wickets first with green crepe paper,
then .wlth'flne'plcfcurewire or florist's
wire. Cover them with sweet peas
or any other flower that may be pre
ferred, but tbe-'Bweetpeas are espe
cially pretty when the delicate pink,
white and lavender are combined.
Each wicket may have a ribbon bow
on top. The tiny croquet mallets are
laid at each place with name cards
tied to the handle. For bonbons have
hard candy balls flavored with fruit
juice; the confectioner will make
them in all the delicate shades. The
croquet stakes, ribbon-bound, should
be at the head and foot and the suc
cessful players have these seats.

designs for parasols, both
shapes and materials, appearing
in varied conceptions. The form or

of ribs. It is picturesque in the ex

In texture this is quite coarse and al

m3TAS iff LADHAK
The duke of the Abruzzl Is Ither
at or near Bombay, which city is to
be the starting point of his expedition
to the Himalayas.
A considerable and unnecessary
amount of mystery has been thrown
around the plans of the ducal explorer,
who has been romantically supposed
to be seeking relief from his love
misadventures by braving the dangers
of the Indian glaciers, but the fol?ow
ing details can be considered authen
tic: The party which accompanies the
duke of the Abruzzi consists of
Marchese Negrotto. Cavalier Vittorio
Sella. Cavalier Filippo de Filippi. Sig
nor Botta. and seven guides from the
Courmayeur. Marcheae Negrotto is
the duke's flag lieutenant in the Ital
ian navy. Cavalier Sella accompanied
the duke on his former expeditions at
Mount St Elias in Alaska tnJ to Ruw
enzori. His Illustrations added not a little
to the Interest of the book published
on the Ruwenzori. and were one of
the chief attractions of the account
given by Douglas Freshfleid of his ex
plorations round Kunchlnjlnga. Cava
lier Filippo de Filippi also was a com
panion of .the duke on his Polar ex
ploration.' and though ha could not
accompany him to Ruwenzori. wrote
the history of that expedition which
has since been published.
SlgBor Botta goes as assistant pho
tographer to Sella; he. too. was n
member of the earlier expeditions to
Alaska nnd Ruwenzori. and has had
moreover some mountaineering ex
perience In the Caucasus and the
Himalayas.
Besides Sella and Botta. four or the
seven guides have had Himalayan ex
perience. -Joseph Petlgax. who accom
panied the duke on his former expedi
tions, was for some time with Dr.
Bullock Workman in his expedition in
1903 in Baltistan. Alexis and Henri
Brocherel were with the expedition of
Messrs. Longstaff. Mumm and Brace
to the Nanda;DevI.group.in I907rand
G. Savoie was with the two Swedish
mountaineers who established a
Himalayan record by climbing Kabru.
24.000 feet in Sikkim.
The fact that the duke has ar
ranged for' the collection of coolies at
Srinagar leaves, of course, no doubt
as to the Karakram range being the
scene of his explorations.' and the
large proportion of guides among the
members of the party would show that
bis main object is climbing.
Now. the western part of the Kara
koram has recently been explored by
the Workmans. The central part of
Mhe. range, however, contains the high
est peaks of-all. grouped rouaa we
great Baltoro glacier: and. as it of
fers the most tempting ground for a
mountaineer of the duke's ambitions,
one may safely assume that It Is here
tbat the choice of mountains to ascend
will be made.
The Baltoro glacicrexplored by Sir
W. Martin Conway In 18S2, when he
climbed Pioneer Peak. 22.000 feet to
its south. It was revisited I 1902 by
the Eckenstein-GulIIarmod expedition,
of which an account was published
by Dr. Gulllarmod on their, unsuccess
ful attempt to reach K2. To judge
from the photographs which have
been brought back both l K2 and of
other giants of the. range, the formid
able character of'lhe climbing can
hardlv be exaggerated.
In suite of the assurance that the I
duke of the Abruas! has net yet fixed
his hopes upon any particular snm
mlt one cannot doubt that Mount
Godwin Austin, or K2 as It Is more
familiarly called. Is the peak which
he will first reconnoitre. Should
nearer examination prove that it is
hopeless, even for an expedition so ex
perienced and thoroughly organized as
that of the duke's, one may still be
sureifrom.kts irevfonnrfcord'that he
will not return empty-handed.
Even if he does not succeed in scal
ing the 28.250 feet of K2. them are
plenty of geographical discoveries to
be made and other virgin heights to
be climbed In. and especially beyond
the

OUXE OF Tf ABRUZZI 'W
The region on the north of Kara
koram has been little explored, and.
as both the duke and his flag-lieutenant
Negrotto, are fully qualified for
any topographical work, we may at
least expect from them some valuable
addition to our knowledge ot the
Trans-Himalayan country.
From Bombay the party will pro
ceed by train to Rawal Pindi, and
then to Srinagar. where the coolies
will be in readiness and the caravan
formed. From Srinagar oa to Iskardo
would be a distance of some 125
miles, owing to a detour which will be
necessary at this time of year to
avoid the high-lying plateau. An
other 65 miles or so should bring them
to Askoley. right in the heart of the
mountains, which is within a compara
tively easy distance ot the Baltoro

cancer was far In excess of the death
rate from the same disease la the
countries they had left The physician
who undertook to investigate and dis
cover the causes for this found the
mortalityreoords showed that deaths
from cancer among immigrants from
Oriental countries and 'native Ameri
cans were much less in proportion to
numbers than among Germans and im
migrants from Southeastern Europe.
Oa studying their diet he found the
Orientals did not eat meat and the
Americans comparatively little, while
the people of other nationalities ate
flesh in .large quantities.
Another theory is that cancer comes
largely from Indigestion and conse
quent poisoning of the system through
lack of proper mastication of one's
food, and also through overeating, so
that where people eat largely ot meat
and are in the habit of "bolting" their
rood cancer is more' than likely to in
crease. To eat slowly does not necessarily
imply masticating properly, for one
can dilly-dally and not chew. In any
event, the careful chewing ot food is
absolutely -cessary to good health.
Slow chewing prevents over feeding
and the consequent choking up or the
system and results. In a clearer brain
and a more active and beautiful body.
Every one knows that too much
fuel chokes an engine, and so In like
fashion too much food chokes the
body.
At its best cancer Is n frightful dis
ease, painful and disgusting, and
every care should be taken by all to
avoid It If prevention can ,do It
every one should join in the crusade
and by right diet and proper eating
ward oE oae of the greatest curses ot
humanity.
