SOME WORLDLY WISE SUGGESTIONS.
KOK WOMEN
AlwayB hold your skirts in tho left
hand. It loaves your right hand free
to hold your purse.
In walking along a crowded street
keep to tho loft. Tho men always keep
to tho right. You may thus run up
against many now faces.
Talk to your women friends just as
long as you want to on tho platform of
the street car before getting oil. All
tho world loves to hear woman talk, and
it doesn't mind being kept waiting in
the least.
THE KIND OF OFFICERS MEN
WILL FOLLOW.
With all voluntoor troops, and I am
inclined to think with rogulars, too, in ,
timo of trial, tho best work can bo got
out of tho raou only if tho ofllcers on
duro tho Btttno hardships and face tho
sumo risks. In my regiment, as in the
whole cavalry division, tho proportion
of Iobb in killed and wounded was con
sidorably greater among tho ofllcers than
among tho troopers, and this was exact
ly as it Bhould bo. Moreover, whon wo
got down to hard pan, wo all, oillcors and
men, fared exactly alike as regards both
sholtor and food. This prevented any
grumbling. Whon the troopers saw
that tho oillcors had nothing but hard
tack, thoro was not a man in tho regi
ment who would not havo boon ashamed
to grumblo at faring no worse, and when
all aliko slept out in tho open, in the
rear of tho trenches, and when tho men
always saw tho field oflicers up at night,
during the digging of the trenches, and
going tho rounds of the outposts, they
would not tolerate, in any of their num
ber, either complaint or shirking work
Whon things got easier I put up my
tent and lived a little apart, for it is a
mistake for an officer over to grow
too familiar with his men, no matter
how good they are; and it is of courso
tho greatest possible mistake to seek
popularity either by showing weakness
or by mollycoddling tho men. They
will never respect a commander who
does not enforce discipline, who does
not know his duty and who is not will
ing both himself to oncountar and to
mako them encounter every species of
dangor and hardship when necessary.
The soldiers who do not feel this way
are not worthy of the name and should
bo handled with iron severity until they
become fighting men and not shams.

Theodore Roosevelt, in tho May Scrib-ner'a.

of the year which has seen America brought face to faco with now world duties.
The Important special and technical matters of tho war period, generally dismissed by tho
historian with only slight and often Insufficient discussion, aro fully and authentically dealt
with In contributed chapters, written by men who had unusual opportunities for studying their

A ROMANCE PROM AFRICA.
ffhe Story of a Treasure lagenloua mb4
Ksy Be True.
Englishmen are pedatory creatures,
and the London paperB do not hesitate
to express annoyance because the expe
ditionary force recently sent against
King Prempeh found at Coomassle
only a meager number of gold orna
ments, and hollow ones at that, saysj
the New York Times. The value of the
loot taken from the royal "palace" was
only about 2,000 and mado a poor
showing when exhibited In London, as
compared with the results of ore ous
raids. Now a correspondent writing
from Accra tells a story which if true
a very large "If" will make the
British ofllcers wish they had not left
the Ashanti capital quite so soon. He
says: "Some years ago a slave girl of
surpassing beauty of the Ashanti type
beln entendu had the misfortune to
attract the fickle fancy of a chief,
whose head wife tolerated no rivalry.
To reproach a husband la generally
useless; in Coomassie it is dangerous.
The lady, wise in her generation, fore
bore to risk her head, but sent for the
executioner and caused the ears and
lips of tho too fascinating maiden to be
removed, rendering her such an object
as can only be seen in savage king
doms. History does not Bay if the ex
pedient answered tho purpose of re
storing the chief's wandering affections
to thoir rightful owner, but the slave
girl developed, not unnaturally, Into
a woman with an undying thirst
for revenge. Lately Bho sought an
audience with the govornor, and
she informed him that the real
treasuro of the Ashantis lies burled
somo fifty feet below the soil, in a dis
used shaft of a mine near Coomassie,
and readily undertook to point out the
spot. Digging is being vigorously car
ried on, already more than a fourth of
tho depth has been cleared, and should
the treasure amount to anything like
the rumored value, tho coBt of the ex
pedition will be fully defrayed, making
the Ashanti war a record one, as not
only bloodless, but free Pf coBt."

A bewlldered-looklng farmer stood
in the center of Haymarket square
Thursday looking at the trolley wire.
The electric car came along and
slowed up. They rang the bell and
shouted at him and ordered him to
move. He still kept looking at the
wire and making inarticulate sounds
with his lips.
"Get off the earth, you Jersey calf!"
shouted the motorman.
The old man was fairly bumped by
the slow-moving car before he moved.
Then he Jumped and said: "I did it,
by thunder! Where's my money?"
He looked around cautiously and
then he said: "You seen a red-faced
feller with a white mustache waxed T
I want him. He bet me $5 I couldn't
look at that ere wire three minutes and
count 200. I've done It."
"Did you put up the money?"
"Suro," was the reply.
"Ding-dong," went the bell. Lewis

At the Tuillerles madam received

Through a half open door I heard a
child's voice; it was that of the prince

next room. Soon we hoard the noise
of a saw and a hammer, and as I
listened Mine. Bizot led me quietly to
the door of that room. "Look," she
said, speaking low and opening the
door a littlo wider. Then I saw tho
emperor Bcatod on tho carpet and
making toys for his son." Mme.
