Communjcation has been made easy and cheapened between all Its use is cheaper to the people than the use of the municipal owned street railways of Glas- gow. There is sofmething to be desired in the way of improved equipment, but the enterprise of the company will doubtless over- take the demand for it within a reasonable time.

They worked by parlor meetings and public ngs, and they distributed tons of literature. They requested clergymen to preach sermons on civic righteousness, and sent wagons to patrol the streets with signs telling the voters important truths. Added to this was their direct appeal to fathers, brothers, hushands and sons to vote against candidates who were tainted with corruption. Thus it was shown that virtue in civic affairs can without doubt be promoted by women even though they do not ac- tually vote, and therein is a large field of work for them whether they go further into questions of state policy or not.

A dear little maid I know Whose laughter is so gay I'm sure the music of its fote Would cheer the dreariest day. More sweet than any song That music seems to me Whene'er I hear the maiden’s laugh: He he he he he he! He he he he he he! Oh! he he he he he! He he he he! Oh my! he he! He he he he he he! Of course, the laughter shiows her glee, But why not vary that he he? All other folk I know Do vary laughter's flow; Sometimes they chortle, ha ha La! And yet again, ho ho! But, though this little maid May laugh in many a key, Her word of bliss is aye the same: He he he he he he! He he he he he he! Oh, dear he he he he! Oh, he heé:he! He he he he! | He he he he he he! Of course, her laughter's dear to me, | But why not vary thag he he? Then kindly solve this problem for me, And tell wiy the maid laughs, he he he! And, while you're about it, won't you say Why most of the girls do laugh that way?

By his side sat the good pas- tor and conversed with him. “I hope, my friend,” the pious man said, “that you await the end with com- posure.”s “No, I cannot,” was the low-spoken re- sponse. “I know that you have been, and still are, the president of a life insurance com- pany, but remember the story of the dy- ing thief upon the cross, who—" “Oh, T am not worrying about myself,” the departng man brokenly interrupted. “I complied with all the rules of the game of high finance, and shall ecall Saint Peter's attention to them when I reach | the pearly gate.

Alas! Woe is me—and them!” And what could the good parson say to asstiage such grief as that? ¥ MY CREED. One &aid that I lacked in grace of creed, And, right or wrong, It is little care I, For I've more of faith in a splendid deed Than in all the patter of words that lie; And yet, with a prayer that He still will lead My faltering steps, here stands my creed: A helpful hand For the ones who fall; A faith, unseeing, God heeds us all; A vow by him I will bow no knee, As a sycophant might, To the “powers that be”; Sure knowledge that I To my sin must be Debtor in time Or eternity; And yet the hope, Like a ray of cheer, That some may be glad Because I was here. My creed in my living is faintly shown— But, brother, my brother, how fares your own? THE MAIDEN’S GRIEF. The fair and beauteous maiden was weeping bitterly when her mother found “What is the matter, my darling?” the anxious mamma inquired. “Joh-Joh-John @idn’t propose to me,” was the broken response. “It'’s too bad, but don't you mind it my dear.” “#And 1 don’t believe he ever will pup- up-propése to me.” p"But 1 thought you sald you wouldn't accept him If he did?" [ “I wou-wou-wouldn't, but he ought to have given me a chance to reje-je-ject him,” Of course, the mo @id her best to comfort the poor girl, but how can one mitigate that sort of wpe? —_— A LITTLE SONG.

COLORED A determined next spring, 3.“ Tribe of Men With Horns foiesag a i ] Adjoining jhe Chinese prefecture of Chien-Chang is a deep gully barred by a river which no Chinaman is permitted to pass until he finds bail for his good con- duct in Lolodom. 3 The Lolos are a siim, well made, mus- cular race with oval reddish brown faces, high cheekbones and pointed chins from which the beard has been -carefully- plucked. They are far taller than the Chinese and indeed than any European race, but their marked peculiarity is the horn. Every male aduit gathers his hair in a knot over his forehead and then twists it up in a cotton cloth so that it resembles the horn of a unicorn. This horn is consldered sacred, and even it a Lolo settles in Chinese territory and grows a pigtail he still preserves his horn. The Lolo man's principal garment is a Wide sleeveless mantle of red or black felt tled about the meck and descending almost to the heels. The trousers are of Chinese cotton with felt bandages. No shoes are worn, but a conical hat of woven bamboo, covered with felt furnishes a head covering as well as an umbrella, The Chinese divide the Lolos into two classes, which they- call, respectively, “Black Bones” and \White Bones,” the first being the nobles and the latter their vassals and retaine: There is also a third class of captive Chinese and their descendants, call ‘Watzu,” practically slaves, who are taftooed on the forehead with the mark of their tribe. The Lolos never marry except in their own tribes, captive Chinese women being given to their bondsmen. The marriage of a Black Bone is a time of great fes- tivitles and many banquets. The betroth- al is celebrated and ratified by the pres- ent of the husband fo the bride’s family of a pig and three vessels of wine. On the wedding morn the bride is richly @ressed with many ornaments. She is expected fo weep profusely, whether she feels so inclined or not. In the midst or her tears the groom's relatives and friends dash in, seize the bride, the best man carries her out of doors on his shoulders, she is clapped on a horse and hurried off to her new home. Here she finds horses, cattle and sheep, provided by the groom's family, while her own people send clothes, ornaments and corn. ‘Womeh occupy a high position among the Lolos, and a woman chief is not un- known among the tribes, The birth of a girl is more highly esteemed than that of a boy, which is somewhat strange among Oriental people. The women take part in battle, but are not assailed by the male warriors unless they use some form of cutting weavon. The Lolos do net use firearms, but crossbows and 24-foot spears, headed with splkes flve or six inches long.. They never kill any one who submits and offers to provide a ransom, nor do they make captives of old persons, but young men and women, cattle and salt they carry off wholesale, and if re- sistance is offered they destroy all the growing crops. 29, 1905 T NORWEGIAN MINISTER, "HIALMAR CHRISTIAN HAUGE, ~ BRINGS AMERICAN WIFE NOVEMB MRS, H. CHRISTIAN HAUGE. o T IS a strange fate that makes Mrs. H. Christlan Hauge preside over the first Norwegian Legation in the United Btates. Mrs. Hauge is an American girl, and as Miss Todd, one of the wealthiest heiresses of Kentucky, she married the young Nor- ‘wegian some time ago. Recently Mr. Hjalmar Christian Hauge was appointed as Minister from Norway to the United States. The appointment has proven of interest to the friends of the former Miss Todd in this country, says the Washing- ton correspondent of the Philadeiphia In- quirer. She has a large circle of friends and acquaintances In Washington, New York and Louisville, Ky.,, who will be glad to see her as mistress of a diplomatic post in the country’s capital. —t e | Ted’s S:tory of Thanksgiving. | W E had all sat down to dinner on that glad Thanksgiving day— There were uncles, aunts and cousins who had come from far away— But before he carved the turkey. grandpa turned to little Ted: “Can you tell us why we celebrate Thanksgiving day?’ he said. Now, Ted was only six, but he knew the story well, And he drew himself up proudly, for ‘twas one he loved to tell. “The Pilgrims wished to worship God the way that they thought best, But the King said they must go to chu rch along with all the rest. “So they fled across the ocean and they came right over here; 'Twas just as cold as could be—'twas ths winter of the year; And our epuntry then was different, and of course, there was no dock, So the whole one hundred o 'em had to land on Plymouth Rock, "It was such a hard, cold winter that they died off thick and fast, But finally it was over and the spring had come at last; And when the Pilgrims gathered in their harvest in the fall, They felt so very happy, they were thankful, one and all. “And they thought they'd set apart a day in which to praise and pray, And they also had a feasting which they called Thanksgiving day. And that i3 why we keep it when our crops are gathered in, Because we, too, are thankful to have filled each loft and bin. “And I'm thankful to the Pilgrims because they made the day, For I like a good big dinner and a time to romp and play.” And when our Ted had finished, “That was well told,” grandpa said, And the aunts and uncles shouted, “Here's three cheers for little Ted!” . —=8t. Nicholas. B ——— RUSSELL SAGE AND THE LAWYER. Russell Sage has a horror of law- suits. ¥ A clerk of Mr. Sage's said the other ay: “‘ ‘You remember, sir," I sald, ‘my com- plaint against my wife’s uncle? _"‘Yes,’ he answered. *“‘Well” sald 1, ‘the man 1§ obdu- rate, and I think of bringing suit against him. What would you advise? “Mr. Sage was silent a moment, frowning thoughtfully. Then he said: “‘Listen. When 1 was a clerk in Troy I had a case against a man that seemed quite as good as yours. I vis- ited a prominent lawyer, and I laid the whole matter before him in de- tail. When I was through he told me that he would be delighted to take the case—that it was a case that couldn’t loge. “‘1t can’t lose? sald I “‘It can’t lose,’ he repeated. “‘I rose and took up my hat. I thanked the lawyer and told him that I wouldn’t bring sult, after all. And GRIM HUMOR then I explained that it was my op- ponent’s side, and not my own, which 1 had laid before him.’”"—New York Tribune. CELESTIAL REASONING. A Chinaman was recently walking along Market street when a dog ran up and began barking in a somewhat aggressive manner at his heels. He became greatly alarmed and dodged about all over the pavement to avoid the animal. A benevo- lent old gentleman who happened to be passing at the time and saw the trouble he was in immediately went up Yo him, and patting him on the shoulder said in a pacifying tone, “Come, comé, my friend, you must not be afraid, the deg wen't hurt you; don't you know the old, old proverb that ‘barking dogs never bite? " “That's all velly well,” replied the Chinaman, ‘‘you knowee proverb and me knowee proverb, but how can do, does the dog knowee proverb?” Lo for £5000 In your favor..

Among those asked to meet Miss Mellus were Mrs. James A. Black, Mrs. Frederick W. Van Sicklen, Mrs. Freder- ick Youngberg, Mrs. Leigh Jones, Mrs. \ PONY EXPRESS. The world's record for organized and “schedule” riding was made by the pony express. Never before nor since has mail been carrfed so fast, so far and so long merely by horse power; and if I am not in ercor, never elsewhere have horses been so steadily spurred in any regular service. The pony express carried mail between the Hast and California (at % per half-ounce) for about two years. It ran from Independence to San Franeisco, 1960 miles. Its time was ten days, and it never needed eleven. It employed 500 of the fastest horses that could be found, of | course all Western horses, 200 station- | keepers and eighty riders. It had 10| stations—crowded down the throat of the wilderness, sixty-five to one hundred miles (or even more) apart, according as | water chanced. The rider was allowed two minutes to change horses and malls at a station. ‘William F. Cody, “Buffalo Bill,” was the most famous of the pony express riders, and as a l4-year-old “kid" got his first *“job” from the man that invent- ed the pony express. Cody made the record here—a round-trip ride (necessi- | tated by the killing of his relief) of 384 miles w:wiout stops except to change horses and to swallow one hasty meal. Another of the pony express riders, Jack Keetley, made a run of 34 miles in thirty-one hours, and another, Jim Moore, rode 280 miles in fourteen hours and forty-six minutes. Such men got §190 to $125 per month and “found.” Their mall was Hmited to fif- teen pounds. Postage was $5 per hailf- ounee for some time; then the Govern- ment ordered it cut down to $1 per half- ounce, at which figure it stayed till the completion of the overland telegraph to San Francisco (October 22, 1361) ended the life of this gallant enterprise.—Charl F.

She plays to win, but she takes her chances like & sportsman, backs her purpose with- out wavering, keeps true to the rules as she sees them, and comes out at the end neither crowlug nor bleating, but cool, resolute and ready to try again. “Simple-hearted and complex of brain, ambitious, Imaginative—vision- ary, perhaps; frankly happy under ap- probation, yet unruffled by eriticizm; building dreams of empire in strange lands and yet longing eagerly for chil- dren of her own by her own fireside— four chapters are not enough for more than the merest sketch of this woman who has projected railroads and dealt with Sultans and Presidents and estab- lished her right to mine her cepper in the face of strong opposing forces. The sum of all her trgits is power—power that has sometimes been called hyp- notic, but that needs no such explana- tion. Intelligence, strength of purpose, faith In herself-—such qualities must inevitably make for power when they enter into combination with a young &nd gracious personality.
