From the strictly profane point of view,
Mephlsto was the best educated parrot in
thla section of New Jersey. He could
swear with fluency in five languages, and
also In several dialects. Every noun, verb,
adjective, adverb, conjunction, preposition
and article In his vocabulary was either
tainted or tinctured with profanity. Not

twice above the locomotive, and then
dived down Into the smokestack. The
astounded spectators ' heard a volley of
oaths coming out with the smoke, and
then there was silence. Tnere Is a division
of opinion as to what produced It.
Those who were shocked by the lan

was caused by suffocation. The bird's

FAMOUS GIFTS OF MEMORY
Senator (lore's Remarkable Demon
stration Recalls l.lke Feats
in the Past.
Senator Gore of Oklahoma, who Is blind,
is gifted with a remarkable memory. Tha
other day In replying to Mr. Lodge, he
rattled off statlstlca about Massachusetts
manufactures after a fashion that Bur
prised his colleagues. While other senators
depend upon printed tables for facts and
figures. Senator Gore trusta entirely to his
splendid memory.
Gladstone was similarly gifted. Although
literary man by studies and inclinations,
he could, when chancellor of the ex
chequer,, reclta statistical Information
without the aid of notes or pamphlet He
could recall a Greek quotation In the origi
nal without making the semblance of an
error, and could correct archaeologists who
presumed to know all about the pyramids
of Egypt or the round towers of Ireland.
Macauley's memory was even more pro
digious. It Is well known how rapidly ha
could tell tha names of tha archbishops
of Canterbury backward, and It la aatd
that after reading a copy of tha London
Times be could repeat Its contenta ver
batim, advertisements and an. The latter
assertion, will, no doubt, test the credu
lity of of the marlnea, even.
Blaine and Conkllng, both prided them
selves on their memories. On one occasion
Conkllng quoted the celebrated Hnea, "No
pent-up Utlca conflnea our powers," etc,
adding that they were from Addison's
Cato. Blaine wagered a basket of cham
pagne that they were not. Conkllng was
much humiliated when It was shown to
him that the quotation waa from an epi
logue to Addlson'a Cato, written by a cltl
sen of Portsmouth, N. H. Boston Globe.
CMAHA MAN'S NEW BOOK
Wants to Care Present Day Social
Evils by Going Back to
Bible.
"Christendom," Is the title of a little
pamphlet published by m local Omaha
writer over the nom de pluma "Ole
Munch." It Is a dessertatlon in support
of a reversion to the Christian
ity of the Bible and a protest against many
modern social tendenclea, which tha author
believes are unwarranted diversions from
Btble morals. He Is particularly aevere on
divorce, woman suffrage, and women
wageworkers and everything that tends to
disrupt the home.
"A man should support his wife, his
daughters, his mother, hie mother-in-law,
If In need of It; and be tha strong arm for
his sisters to lean upon, as they are tha
weaker aex. He should do so by working
six days In tha week and tha seventh
should be for rest and moral recreation.
Man should rule over woman after Mose
law. So wa could not believe In woman
suffrage and remain loyal to Bible morals.
Woman should be man's helpmeet only,
after Mose law, and not tha competitor
In hia life work."
This is a fair sample of tha argument
and will doubtless provoke much contro
versy and dissent.

SHORT WORD WORTH A PILE
Fortune and Honon Won by the Af
firmative "Yes."
COMMON WORDS RATED LOWER
Hantlng and Literary Stars Command
Top Prleea, bat Brides and
Paginate Get tbe
Staff.
What Is the value of a word if that
word be "yes?"
Ex-President Roosevelt. It has been gen
erally reported, Is to get $1 a word for his
articles describing hia hunting adventures
In Africa.
James J. Jeffries, the pugilist. Is to get
$50,000 for saying simply "Yes " In answer
to the proposal that he flghl the colored
champion. Johnson.
Those prices represent extremes In the
value of a word, spoken or written. In
these days of piping peace, when adventure
and strife seems to have gained newly ro
mantic charms.
But even the daxxllng reward held out to
Boxer Jeffries becomes trivial when It Is
compared with the enormous riches that
have been earned by fair women who have
consented to utter the same word that was
required of him.
Alluring as the prices are, how many
others are there who would want to earn
as much In the same manner; and how
many are there who, If they were willing,
could do It?
It may be well to remember, In the first
place, that Colonel Roosevelt Is far from
being the only and original winner of the
literary prlxe of $1 a word.
Editor Calls a Blnff.
As magaxlne articles go, the pioneer In
that golden pathway was the '.ate Richard
Mansfield, who got It because he didn't
want It. An editor, who was conducting a
magaxlne that had already earned mil
lions, conceived the Idea that Mr. Mans
field's dictum on the chances and mis
chances of the stage as a vocation would
help the circulation a lot; so ha wrote,
asking the actor for an article.
"My price Is $1 a word." curtly replied
Mr. Mansfield, deeply affronted at the
Impertinence of vulgar trade.
"Please rush 1,000 words," retorted the
editor, willing to pay $1,000 to take pride
down a peg or two.
Some few years later, for the "aubse
quent" adventures of Sherlock Holmee, Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle waa declared to have
been paid $1 a word; and there the market
stayed, with $1 aa the top notch to which
every subsequent aspirant must climb. If
he hopes to become really distinguished.
From the Mansfield Incident and from
the Sherlock Holmes price, many a literary
critic will add It Ms apparent that the gen
tle art of composition Is far from being
the actual basis of value.
Words, not deeds, would be the test ap
plied by any critic In assaying the cash
merits of manuscripts submitted to him;
but deeds, not words, constitute the In
trinsic worth of these modern Mldases of
the pen and tongue.
It Is precisely because of the two main
facts that Colonel Roosovelt Is the best
known American and that he Is constantly
risking a most terrible deathr-that the
words with which he will clothe his deeds
have been appraised at the high market
value of $1 each.
Dangerous as so ambttloua an expedition
undoubtedly IB, ' and' few have been the
hunters who "'have undertaken one, the
chances are that a thousand adventurers
would cheerfully volunteer for It against
one who would ehgage to dispute the two
fists and the single word of James J, Jef
fries In tha prlre ring. That Is the one
main reason why Mr. Jeffries can earn
$50,000 for tha -word.
PnaTlHam aa a Money Maker.
For all the endowments of nature, the
$50,060 appointed to be earned by Mr. Jef
fries must be labored for In a fashion
which few of his compatriots are willing
to comply with to aave their lives. Physi
cians throughout the country could re
port thousands of patients lost beoause of
their reluctance to take the vigorous exer
cise which alone can suffice to reduce the
former champion to his normal fighting
weight.
It Is true that there are hundreds of
prlxe fighters who, for less than a bare
living, have done what la required of
Jeffries In the way of arduous training;
but It's fully as true that uncounted men
have gone straight to their gravea because
they would do nothing of the kind.
Aa for the contest Itself, once trained
down to his old, hard condition, the
chances are that a born boxer of the
Jeffrlea type will earn his great remune
ration with all the Joy that Inspires the
pot to alng with no mora promising
guarantee than the reasonable certainty
that he will continue to starve In hia aula
Duke's Bridal Prlae.
It was stated, when J. B Duke, the
powerful magnate of tha tobacco trust, was
married to Mrs. Nai.allne Holt Inman, In
1907, that he eettled on her. In her own
right, tba round sum of $1,000,000, her safe
and sura reward, apart from tha enjoyment
of tha $30,000,000 which aha shares with him.
for vouchsafing to his eager tmplorlngs
tha same word for wblch Jeffrlea geta but
$50,000-"Yea."
Whatever the prlzea that fall to enter
prise, daring and strength, the history of
that little consenting word would aeem to
emphasize the constant repetition of the
triumphs of Hercules all flung, for the
sake of her gracious nod, at tha feet of
Omphale.
The price of a million dollars a word,
paid by Magnate Duke for his second
wife's consent to their marriage, repre
sented perfectly the enormous valuation
which has often been put upon the word of
a beautiful woman, for beautiful Mrs. In
man was a belle of Georgia, and famed
throughout the south; and It represented,
too, the lavlshness with which tha modern
Herculea of enterprise Is ready to pay the
price for whatever his heart deslrea.
Tha Duke fortune, which began when
the civil war ended, with 300 poverty
atrlcken acres In North Carolina, 00 cents
In Yankee money and a pair of blind mules,
waa the outcome of the same strength, the
same daring, the aame shrewdness and the
same energy which have scored correspond
ing triumphs In other fields. Ths million
that waa paid Mra. Inman waa dearly
earned by the man who paid for tha word
aha spoke.
There Were Others.
On tha other hand, there have been
women receiving great rlchea for that sim
ple but momentoua word to whose price
for their consent tha present Mrs. Duke's
may teem a bagatelle women like Mrs.
Nannie Langhome Shaw, one of the poor
but lovely Langhorna sisters, to whom
half the Waldorf Astor fortune and social
power cama when aha agreed to bear the
Aator name; Miss White, who, explicitly
dowerleaa, received a foreign title which
might well have been quoted at many mil
lions In tha International matrimonial
mart; Mlsa Alice Atherton Blight, now
Lady Gerald Lawther, who for yeara with
held the utterance of the word while the
man who was resolved to be her husband
served her. and the labsn of British di
plomacy, until he wore out her obduracy
and she chose the path that led to her po
sition at the side of the British ambassa
dor at Berlin.
None of these, however, compare In fixed
and definite market appraisement of the
word "Yes," when spoken by a woman lo
her lover, with that which attaches to the
consent of Mrs. William Rlilnelander Stew
art of New York, when she gave It to the
late James Henry Smith "Silent" Smith
of Aladdin-fortune fame.
A Lavish Bachelor.
For years "Silent " Smith, midest broker,
taciturn clubman, economical connoisseur
of books and pictures, lived his unostenta
tious life until his uncle In London died
and left him $;..'.000.000. After startling
American society both by the good taste
and splendor of his entertainments, and
buying the $2,000,000 Whitney mansion at
S71 Fifth avenue for a home, he offered
himself, the richest bachelor In the world,
to Mrs. Stewart, who had been considered
one of tha handsomest girls of Baltimore.
A sister of Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel and
daughter of the late John A. Armstrong,
one of the Baltimore's leading merchants,
Mrs. Stewart was rich In her own rlRht,
and had long been respectfully and sin
cerely admired by the man who, sought
her hand.
She gave him her word, and they were
married in September, 1P06. She was to
share for life In such fortune as few ever
dreamed of enjoying. For a wedding gift
he made her a present of 8.000 of the pick
of the world's precious gems, such a col
lection as no other woman owns, worth
$."00,000.
Within less than seven months the bride
groom died, during a tour of Japan. His
vast fortune, which he had held as many
years, had shrunk to $5,000,000, whether by
reason of his lavish expenditures or of
exaggeration of his original Inheritance
was never publicly know.
But his will, when the settlement of his
estate required the publicity, revealed an
ante-nuptlal agreement by which his bride
accepted, aa her share of the estate In
the event of his death, the sum of $3,000,-
000, the bulk of the remainder going to
two of his nephews as his direct heirs.
Participation in the Immense fortune of
the richest bachelor In the world was
what was offered Mrs. Stewart while her
suitor lived; but It lasted for little more
than half a year of happy honeymoon.
But Jewels In hand Worth $500,000, together
with the guarantee or $.1,000,000, sufficed to
make the price of her single word such as
no other woman of this age has been au
thentically offered for the little momen
tous syllable, "Yes." Philadelphia North

Some- unscrupulous enemies of the Chi

advantage of the marriage to placard the
Chinese walls with mendaolous comments
on the entire affair and with violent t-
tacks on tha consul general; but that did
not detract from tha splendor of the event

It was a wedding which Carlyle might,

he whispered to It.
"Con's best authenticated case was
Rainbow, a horse belonging to a Colpnel
Westvance. Rainbow had kicked a groom
to death, bitten a soldier's thumb off,
and rolled on a lady. They wanted to
tie Rainbow's head in a blanket before
Con entered the stall, but the whisperer
shook his head and smiled. Sending ev

In the stall half an hour. Then he whis

that holy terror of a horse lay on Its back
