‘ «Oh, no,” roplld the philosopher, Letter to Carpenter & Shater.| Butler, Mo. a Gentlemen: Mr. —— ——, Presi- dent of a cotton-mill at Union, 8. C., —he don’t want to see his name fh print—had two offers of 500 gallons of paint: $1.30 and $1.25. Took the $1.25 and got skinned. He'd have got three-quarters skinned if he'd taken the other. The $1.30 was full gallon; the $1.25 was 18 per cent short. The faull- measure paint was adulterated 40 per cent; the short-measure paint was adulterated 45 per cent, besides benzine in the oil, don’t know how Meat Trust We are unalterably opposed to.

Clark, the Montana copper king, willsoon marry his ward, Miss Amelia La Chapelle, whom he has been educatingabroad. A rumorthatthe millionaire would make the young woman his wife and the mistress of the $7,000,000 residence which he has erected in Fifth avenue started in Washington two years ago. It is understood that Senator Clark's three children—Charles, Mrs. E. M. Culver and Mrs. Lewis Ruther ford Morris—have objected without avail to the proposed alliance. Senator Clark is now 65 years old. Miss La Chapelle is 21. Not only has the millionaire cared for her since her father’s death, but her sisters and her mother have been supported, and shown every consideration. Jett Accepts Life Sentence.

Leavenworth, Kan, May 7.—Em- met Dalton, one of the Dalton broth ers, bandits, has applied to the board of directors of the Kansas peniten- tiary fora parole. Under a new law the prison directors act as a parole board. Dalton is serving 4 life sen tence for his part in the Coffeyville bank robbery, when several citizens were killed. Almost all the members of the Dalton gang were killed and the organization was broken up. Emmet Dalton’s face hus a deep scar, the result of a wound received in that fight. Two efforts have been made to ce- curea pardon for Dalton. Hismoth- er worked up some sentiment in his behalf and the aid of several Populist politicians was enlisted in Governor Leedy’s term, but nothing came of it. Dalton says he wants & chance to show that he has reformed. His plans are to help his mother run the farm. Above all, Dalton promises not to take to the stage or show business. He has expressed his dis- proval of the action of Cole Younger for exhibiting himeelf and feels that his course has injured his chances for obtaining a pardon. Dalton’s prison record is good. He isa toilor and makes the prison of ficers’ clothing. He has been a time elerk in one of the cellhouses. Modest Ambition of Confucius. Tornadoes in Oklahoma.

Radium made ihe “liquid sunshine cocktails” luminous, and radium paint prepared by Lester D. Gardner illuminated the banner and later played a leading part in the series of experiments under the title of “hav- ing a little fun with science.” No attempt was made to introduce any of the new wonders of radio activ- ity, but Mr. Gardner had prepared a se- ries of entertaining demonstrations of what can be done with radium in the way of amusing spectators. The “liquid sunshine,” which was drunk without any apparent disturbance of the diner’s di- gestive organs, was the novel feature of a dinner which had many surprises. Mr. Gardner explained the comygsi- tion of his novel drink. A portion of esculin fluorescent chemical was dis- solved in each glass of water. In the glass was a tiny tube containing a mi- nute portion of radium. The radium, acting on the esculin, caused the con- tents of the glass to glow in the dark- ness, Then there appeared in the darkness a skeleton jumping-jack, which waved its arms and legs and waggled its head. In another part of the room suddenly appeared a second skeleton, which re- mained motionless, but sufficiently ghostlike to frighten an unwarned au- dience. The luminosity of these and other toys which Ga introduced was explained in a ittie ch. Mr, Gardner said: “I now call your atten- tion to radium paint, so-called; this is merely a new form of our old friend, luminous paint.” MISTRESS. oF HOU NDs.

She owns, maintains and VItH tie ass ice o orst and secon whipper-in, she hunts a private pack of harriers, which shows really excellent sport. The pack was established in 1894, and hunted in Northumberland for three seasons. In 1897 it was brought to Old Park, Chichester, Lord Gifford’s residence. Needless to say, Lady Gifford is a per- fect horsewoman, and needs to be. Her pack, the best in the country of which a woman is “master,” hunts twice a week during the season over a radius of about nine miles about Chichester. The country is very varied and contains some large ditches. But there is very little wire. Lady Gifford is childless. She gained a medal for her services as nurse during the South African war. Her husband, a fine soldier, gained the Victoria cross in the Ashantee expedition. HEALTHIEST TOWNINCOUNTRY Nas Fifteen Hundred Population and Only Twelve Deaths Last Year.

A richly-dressed woman stepped out of an unusually elegant carriage at a department store in Paris and sought to return an article which she said she had bought the day before and found unsatisfactory. The clerk rec- ognized the article as one that had been stolen and conducted her before a police commissary. The woman proved to be the wife of a man who had a high government position. She explained that she was the victim of a mad passion for rid- ing in an automobile, but her husband was too penurious. to furnish the money for the pastime, so she formed this habit in order to gratify her whim. The husband paid the bill, and the woman was released. STAMP CRAZE IN PARIS, Collectors Arrange a Comprttition with Prizes for Designs for New Stamps. The stamp craze reached its climax.

Is the Idol of the People as Well as of the Royal Family. Princess “Ray of Sunshine” is the most charming figure at the Swedish court. Her proper title is Princess Ingeborg, and she is the Danish wife of Prince Charles, the third son of the king of Sweden. Her nickname is a tribute not only to her blond beauty, but to the sweet and gracious qualities which have made her the idol of the people as well as of the royal family. Princess Louise of Sweden, daughter of Charles IV., married the crown prince of Denmark, and Princess Inge- borg is one of their four daughters. When as a little girl she came from Copenhagen to visit the Swedish court, her comrade and playfellow was Prince Charles. Later, when she came as a young girl, their childish affection ripened into mutual love. Their fam- ilies consented to a marriage, and in 1897 the wedding took place. When the young princess came to the Swedish court every one was charmed with her smiling, blond beau- ty—she is very fair, with bright blue eyes—and in a lit'le while she was nicknamed “Princess Ray of Sun- shine.” She seems morally, as well as physically, to merit the title. Her love of flowers amounts to a pas- sion. As a child she was const: gathering and arranging them, and day this is her favorite occupation, Her duties as a mother—for she has two little daughters—she yields to no servant. Though Princess Margaret, aged more than 4, and Princess Martha, nearly 3, are well beyond the infant stage, Princess Ingeborg gives all her morning to bathing, playing with them, spends in promenades, and evening she receives, Love for her own children has caused her to Interest herself in other children, She has founded a "Creche school” in a suburb of Stockholm, where the children of working women aré taken care of, and where young dressing and The afternoon she in the A DISEASE.
