Beceives So Many Offers That Stereo- typed Answer Is Necessary. Helen Gould-suggests in no way the owner of millions. She goes about her sitting room, which is the second story front of the old house in Tarry- town, dressed in the sort of gown which a maid or a country seamstress might have made, her hair brushed soberly away from her face, and some- times even an old-fashioned white apron to protect her dress. There are thousands of girls in New York whose fathers wonder where the money to buy their clothes and matinee tickets is to come from who lead a more ele- gant existence than this simple young woman. Miss Gould has all the old- | fashioned habits of thought as well | as the old-fashioned virtues. intimate friend, says the New York World. “There are,” she said, “three things that I want to do. I want to bring up Frank to be a fine man, as good a man as my father was, for I believe he was the best man who ever lived. I want to make the world un- derstand how fine and tender a man my father was; and I want to make the name of Gould as loved in New York as that of Burdett-Coutts in London.” Frank Gould has just at- tained his majority, and he bids fair to carry out his sister’s plans for him. He is clear-headed, good-looking, grave and tender toward his sister, and he gives her the worship for her ; devotion which she deserves. The final idea of Helen Gould to be a second Baroness Burdett-Coutts has been dis- covered by persons who live by their wits. As a consequence she is be- sieged on every hand by people with schemes, philanthropic and personal, frank beggars. Then there are the schemes, from daily newspapers and theatrical ventures to boarding schools for young ladies and patent incubators. On an average of two a week come ideas for everything from a flying machine to a thumb thimble that would triple the Gould millions if there was only money enough to patent and exploit it. As for the offers of marriage, they are legion. These letters are by no means ‘ from illiterate or ignorant persons in all cases. The names signed to some of them would surprise the world were they published. Miss Gould has had | a card engraved as daintily as an in- vitation, which she sends in reply to all these offer. It reads: “Miss Gould does not feel that she can respond to your request. Not, she hopes you will believe, from any lack of sympathy or interest in the matter you present, but because numerous and exacting de- mands, together with the countless ap- plications she has received, make it in this instance impossible.” MADE COMPANIONS BY PERIL, Wild Beasts Herd Together to Escape @ Forest Fire. An incident of the forest fires in the hills of the Descanso neighborhood, in southern California, illustrates the comradeship that common peril brings about among beasts as well as among men, After the flames had completed their work of destruction and spread a pall over the hills, a rancher went forth among the charred stumps and smoking brush heaps to look for a number of cattle and colts which he feared had been hemmed in by the fire. He went across gully and ridge in his search, until at last he saw his stock some little distance ahead. He was more than astonished upon -com- ing up to the group to find not only his cattle and colts, but a deer, three wildcats, a coyote, and several rab- bits, all alive and apparently in no fear of him. They watched his ap- proach with indifference, the timidity gone from the big-eyed deer, no ven- om in the wildcats’ purr, and honesty shining in the gray coyote’s face. The rabbits sat on their haunches, as meek as the pets of children. But the poor coyote was in pain, and as the farmer came close the erstwhile robber of the roost dragged his helpless hind-quar- ters toward the man in mute suppli- cation. The legs of the animal had been frightfully burned. The rancher was in no mood to make friends of such strange creatures, and at once drove his stock through the smolder- ing brush, the deer going along with the cattle, the rabbits hopping along at the rancher’s heels, the wildcats slouching along behind, and the coy- ote, unable to follow, whining a pa- thetic appeal for succor. When the burning field was passed the deer broke into a run for the distant hills, the rabbits were away like a flash, and the old defiance and snarling leer came back to the wildcats, who scorned to make a show of haste, They walked slowly out of sight.—San Diego Union. Soldiers and Feathers. The effort to persuade women to cease adorning their hats with birds or their plumage has not been very suc- cessful, for feminine vanity has de- slaughter of the inno- cents. Englishmen have on this occa- sion proved themselves more humane than the women of the land. Sir John Lubbock has secured the abolition of the use of osprey plumes in the British army. He pointed out that these plumes were stripped from the birds in their breeding season, involving the death and the destruction of tlieir young by starvation. On learning this the military authorities decreed that officers should no longer aid in this wanton destruction by wearing osprey plumes in their helmets. Canada needs only 237,000 square miles to be as large as the whole con- tinent of Europe; it is nearly 30 timea as large as Great Britain and Ireland and is 5,000 square miles larger than the United States, excluding Alaska.

The California Fig Syrup Company was organized more than fifteen years ago, for the special purpose of manufacturing and selling a laxative remedy which would be more pleasant to the taste and more beneficial in effect than any other known. The great value of the remedy, as a medicinal agent and of the Company’s efforts, is attested by the sale of millions of bottles annually, and by the high approval of most eminent physicians. As the true and genuine remedy named Syrup or Fics is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company only, the knowledge of that fact will assist in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other parties.

It was determined to replace the present diliatory process of running the pay cars over the entire system, in- volving an expenditure of three weeks’ time in distributing a large bulk of currency, aggregating one million dol- lars per month, by a more convenient, expeditious and safer process of dis- tributing through the hands of the sta- tion agents checks: payable at any one of the 37 banks on the line of the sys- tem and by any agent of the company. ‘The new arrangement Is effective May ist. ‘SEND” 47, CENTS.
