Lola, the “Red Rose of the Forest,” as her people called her, will marry Houston A. Ward, one of the wealth iest and most accomplished young men in Southern Texas. And this happy culmination grows out of a, singularly beautiful romance, one scene of which is blood-curdling and exciting enough to form the nucl eus of a highly successful melo-drama. It was while flying for life from a prairie fire and a herd of stampeded steers that the love of the young cou ple was first revealed, and in such dangerous surroundings troth plighted. their Houston A. Ward, who is certainly eager to become the son-in-law of one of the most notorious Indian chiefs that ever shed blood on the borders of Arizona, is the son of old Shanghai Ward, a famous mustang king of the Rio Grande country. The old man died a few years ago, leaving his only son a splendid for tune in lands, mustangs and cattle. Young Ward’s boyhood was divided between Texas and Illinois. He usu ally spent the summers on his father’s ranch, and the winters in the north, where he attended school. As the result of this simple career he possessed a fine education and ne is rather proud of certain trophies won on the playgrounds and a diploma won in the class-rooms of the college at Campaign; Ill. Last summer the grass was scarce in the Rio Grande valley, and Houston Ward shipped some 400 or 500 head of cattle to the Indian Territory. Finding abundant pasture lands, the young man remained for some time in the vicinity of Fort Gill, where he made the acquaintance of the pretty Indian girl who will sone become his wife. The gallant Texan frequently sought the company of the dusky belle of the border, often dancing and riding with her, but he now says that he did hot know that he loved her until one even ing he found her fingers in his hair and upon opening his eyes, in fiame and smoke, he felt the earth trembling beneath his feet, while his ears were filled with noise of a cyclone. The Texan comprehended her mean ing, sad in that moment of peril ne realized that the indian girl loved him. Fearing that she might execute her suggestion and sacrifice herself to save him; he instantly grasped her in his arms, and it was in that moment of peril that their tru. was plighted. The horse came upon smooth ground and in a short time he began to get further away from the herd. “Right there,” says the Texan, “I made up my mind to love that little Indian girl forever, and I resolved mat, if we escaped the danger that pursued us, I would do everything in my power during life to make her happy.” The noble horse continued to in crease the distance between his heels and the sharp horns of his pursuers until he again encountered rough ground. Ward at this moment for the first time, thought of his pistol, and hur riedly drawing the weapon he poured a stream of lead into the faces of the cattle. He was gratified to see that the pro gress of the herd was slightly retard ed by the bodies of the several ani mals that he killed. Again the heroic girl suggested the idea of sacrificing herself to save the man she loved. “If the horse falls,” she said, “ you must lie close to him and the cattle will jump over you.” “It was evidently her intention.” says Ward, in referring to the matter, “to Stand on the body of the horse in case he fell and make an effort to frighten the steers while I crouched by the side of our exhausted steed.” The horse had no notion of falling. Once more his heels came in contact, with clear ground and he carried his burden in triumph to the brink of the little stream. Ward turned his head and with a shout of exultation he threw his hat in the faces of the leaders of the stam peded herd as the horse plunged into the water that the flames could not cross. The Texan knew that the hot steers would stop to cool their parched tongues, and when the horse had crossed the river he pressed a kiss on the Indian cheek and her: “You have saved my longs to you.” And he will keep his World-Herald. whispered to life, and it be- word.—Omaha THE MOUNTAIN-LION. Houston Ward had been riding about over the prairie looking at his cattle, and, becoming tired, he dis mounted and lay down on the grass in From a story in St. Nicholas we clip this description of the old-time mountain lion: There was a time when the American mountain lion was one of the most for midable animals in the world. The cat is the masterpiece of nature; and the mountain lion was one of the most ter ribly armed and powerful of the cat family. It was a compact mass of hard and tough muscle and gristle, with bones of iron, strong jaws, sharp teeth, and claws like steel penknife blades. It was prodigiously strong, lithe, and quick, covered with a mail the shade of a tree, leaving his to graze at will. He soon fell asleep and his wandered off to mingle with a coat of loose skin that v is tough pony pony herd of cattle and a big drove of horses that were not far away. The grass was very tall and most of it was dead and dry. Either some as leather. It had the temper of a demon, and was insatiably bloodthirs ty. Withal, it had the proverbial nine lives of the cat tribe. Against such an animal it was hope less to match dogs. It was said, in the school books of 40 years ago, that “three British mastiffs can pull down A DOG SCHOOL. Fashionable Book Shelves. Built in book shelves are such fash ionable furnishing pieces that it is well to know that they should always match the woodwork of the room, and not that of the furniture. Detached book- cases should be like the furniture, but it is not considered en regie for the built-in kind. An easy and satisfactory way to re move dust from a painted floor is to wi,t a flannel bag, wring it out as dry ns possible, put it on the broom and drag it in even strokes over the floor. All the dirt will in this way be collect ed in one place and can be easily taken up without leaving streaks of dust on the paint. Ginghams and prints will keep their color better if washed in water thick ened with flour starch. Flour is very cleansing, and will do the work of soap in one or two washings in the starch water. This, with the rinsing, will be sufficient, and the goods will look fresher than if washed and starched in the old-fashioned way. In health no one ought to drink very freely of ice water, for it has occasion- edfatal inflamations of the stomach and bowels, and sometimes sudden death. The temptation to drink it is very great in summer. To use it at all with any safety a person should take but a swallow at a time, taking the glass from the lips for half 'a minute, and then another swallow, and so on. It will be found that in this way it be comes disagreeable after a few mouth fuls. On the other hand, ice itself may be taken as freely as possible, not only without injury, but with the most striking advantage in dangerous forms of disease. A kind of cushion of powdered ice kept to the entire scalp has allayed vio lent inflammation of the brain, and ar rested fearful convulsions induced by too much blood there. All inflammations, internal or exter nal, are promptly subdued by the ap plication of ice or ice water, because it is converted into steam, and rapidly An Institution in Paris Devoted to Canino Culture. lu M. Edward Gillette’s school of etiquette for dogs in Paris canines are trained. The school room is a large square apartment, furnished with a few rugs on its polished floor, some chairs and a table or two. On the school assembling io the morning the roll is called. The teacher, looking exceedingly dignified, taps his desk, and the dogs immediately form in line. Then, in a pleasant but commanding voice, he calls the dogs’ names in ro tation, each animal being trained to respond with a sharp, quick bark and a wag of the tail. The first lesson af ter the performance of the regulation discipline is to learn to welcome visi tors. No matter who comes into the room unexpectedly, each dog is taught to greet the newcomer with a low, short bark. The animal must also jump up and wag his tail, but must keep far enough away from the visitor to cause him no discomfort. Each dog goes through this performance three times, and returns to its place in line like a soldier. If a dog is unruly, it is marched to a chair in the corner of the room and made to crouch on its hind legs beside it and pray for half an hour. Then the dogs are taught gallantry. For instance, if you drop your handkerchief at one end of the room and an educat ed dog happens to be at the other, he will scamper along to pick it up, then come running after you with a few barks to attract your attention, after which he surrenders his burden most fastidiously. The dogs are taught to pick up any dropped article in this fashion. Prancing, dainty little steps are taught the animals for the street, as well as a. deep and profound obeisance. A visitor to any house where an edu cated dog is kept never leaves without the dog following her to the door eith er beside or behind its mistress. Then, stretching out its fore paws, it bends the front part of its body until its head rests on the floor. It does not rise, moreover, until the door is closed. —London Express. INTUITION PERZAPS. After they had been silent for a long time she timidly asked: you carry a love charm?" “No,” he answered. “Why?” “Do conveys away t extra heat, and also diminishes the quantity of blood in the vessels of the part. Insomnia may be relieved by wet ting a towel in ice water and laying it on the back of the neck, covering it over with a dry towel smoothly folded.

CHANCE FOK INVENTORS FAME AND IN Electric WEALTH AWAIT THEM MANY FIELDS. Storage Problems Setter Boys’ Rooms. Considerable is said about girls’ rooms, but little is said of boys’ rooms. The inference is left that any room will satisfy him. It is true that a manly boy usually dislikes a room fixed in milliner s fashion, with rib bons and hangings of cretonne or silk, but lie usually has a decided taste of his own if he is an intelligent boy, and even more pronounced likes and dis likes than his sister. He generally prefers a simple, rather hard bed, with A FIENDISH AMUSEMENT. “You are his rival in love?” ‘I am.” “Yet you profess friendship him.” “I do. I have been his detist for for several years, and I wouldn't forego the fun of fixing up his teeth for any thing in the world.”—Washington Star. A few months ago a corporation paid to Prof. M. I. Pupin of Columbia Uni versity a fortune for his invention of ocean telephony. This transaction typ ifies the new conditions in the world of invention. Many of the ablest inventors of past years have enriched other men, but have amassed for themselves, little ex cept fame—and that mostly posthu mous. Henceforth the inventor's pro fit will be great and sure, and not he but the capitalist will assume the chances of failure. It is significant that the greatest optimists as to the future of inven tions are to be found among the men who have the best opportunities of judging the future along this line— the officials of the United States pat ent office. In discussing the subject the other day, Frederick Allen, United States commissioner of patents, said: "I certainly do not agree with those persons who consider that we are ap proaching the end of invention. I be lieve that the whole creative realm will go on developing and expanding in proportion to the growth of the na tion. “The business of this office shows it. During the past quarter of a cen tury there have been issued in this country more than half a million of patents or over three times as many as had been issued in the three-quar ters of a century preceding it. “It is difficult to predict along what lines inventive geniu's will be most ac tive. Certain it is that the evolution of new things will go on in constantly increasing proportions.” “The imaginative mind naturally foresees the greatest possibilities in the fields of electricity, aerial naviga tion and the harnessing of the great power forces in nature. It is interest ing to note that this view has the sup port of Charles H. Duell, lately com missioner of patents. In discussing the matter, Mr. Duell said: “In my opinion all previous ad vances in the various lines of inven tion will appear totally insignificant when compared with those which the present century will witness. I almost wish that I might live my life over again to see the new wonders which are at the threshold. “It will be but a few years until the residents of all our larger cities will be consulting the time tables of aerial bee lines to New York, allured by such advantages as ‘no smoko, no dust, no heat;’ each private residence will be provided with its own cooling room and cooling devices for houses will make bearable any climate under the Stars and Stripes; the sun and the wind will be completely harnessed, and possibly the waves as well; auto mobiles will be in universal use and quadruplex apparatus should bring the telephone service down to about 10 cents a month.” Probably the field which will give forth the most wonderful invention's in the next quarter of : that of electrical science. century is Within the The Rifle Supplants the Sword.

In the field of offence and defence, it is not so easy to surmise what the future may hold. For one thing it is practically certain that rapid-fire guns of much lighter calibre will be pro duced, and it is possible that some means may yet be discovered to hurl high explosives long distances with a certainty that their forces will prove effective in the direction desired when the explosion comes. Some experts in warfare can see nothing but a. continuance of the rival ry to secure increased power of resist ance in armor and increased penetra tive power in projectiles, but other au thorities are confident that the perfec tion of the submarine boat will drive the more ponderous war vessels from the seas. There is every reason to believe that in the future, as in the past, fortunes will be the reward of many inventors of seemingly the most simple devices —the ideas which might have occurrel to anybody. The profits of the inven tors who evolved the popular dime bank and that universal toy, the bound ing ball, stand out prominently to at tract the inventive genius, into this field, which has proved so productive in the past. That a demand of this class exists is evidenced by the constant cry of many interests for a Hon-refillable bottle. Wine manufacturers, distillers, manu facturers of medicine and- perfumery have all suffered for the lack of some receptacle which when once its con tents have been poured out could not be refilled with an inferior article and sold as the original. The inventor who can produce a practicable non-refillable bottle that can be manufactured at a reasonable price can set himself down as a mil- lionaire the moment he gets a patent. For years various inventors have been attempting to secure a substitute for the razor. Recently a. Frenchman thought he hall 'solved the problem, but after his device and electro-chemi cal combination had been in use in the Parisian barber shop a few days the customers discovered that the instru ment burned and blackened their chins, and the inventor was obliged to flee before their rage. Nevertheless, there is a fortune for him who can dis cover a harmless substitute for shav ing. It is incumbent upon the race to turn out a genius who shall discover or in vent a new and practical fuel. There is a chance that some White Knight of the coming years may contrive to store and distribute the heat contrib uted gratis by the solar furnace that keeps Us all alive, so as to obviate the necessity of lesser fires. Many are at work at this; others are experiment ing along the line of fuels. The one that attains definite results first will be able to warm his hands at a golden grate filled with the form of carbon which we call diamonds, if his taste in extravagance runs to that sort of thing.

A strong breeze was I blowing from the north and, as usual | in such cases, it'looked as if the flames increased the commotion in the air until a wind storm was driving the rapidly spreading fire before it. The great herd of Texas steers stampeded the instant they scented danger and started south, bellowing with terror. The horses caught the contagion and mingled with the fly ing steers, snorting as if a pack of pan thers were at their heels. There were about 500 full grown Texas steers in the herd and seventy- five or eighty head of horses. This, moving mass of frightened ani mals started straight toward the tree under lying, Old on a which the sleeping Texan was wholly unconscious of danger. Geronimo's daughter, mounted magnificent horse, was riding across the prairie when the fire broke out and she saw the animals -stampede, No one knew why she happened to be there or how she knew that the hand- some young Texan was lying under the bone tree asleep. She saw the maddened herd, driven by a sea of flame, rushing furiously onward toward the place where young Ward was lying, and knowing that his horse had strayed away and that no earthly power could turn the living wave of terror aside, she struck her horse with the whip and rode straight toward the rapidly approaching herd. sorry if they had tackled a full grown American mountain lion of that time. He was not to be “pulled down” by anything; and if he had been “pulled down,” that was exactly the position in which he fought best. With his back protected by the earth, and all four fearfully armed paws flying free, aided by his terrible teeth, and a body sc strong that it could not be held in any position—well, when he was “down” was the time that he was most “up.” -He once was found in all the Rocky mountain regions, from the jaguar haunted tropical forests of the extreme south to the home of the northern winter blizzard; but he attained his greatest size and ferocity on the sub tropical plateau of northern Mexico, New Mexico and Arizona. These animals are no longer what they were. The tourist or hunter of today cannot hope to find any old time power or ferocity. PEARLS OF THOUGHT. When she reached the the front rank of the mad steers was not twenty steps away. The flames were leaping in the air over the backs of the animals in the rear, and the wind was blowing a cloud of smoke and dust above them. Horns were crack ing and horses were neighing. Ward was just beginning to move when the Indian girl bent over the side of her quivering horse and seized his hair. “Up quick!” she shrieked, “the world is on fire.” He sprang to his feet and compre hended the situation at a glance, he first thought of ascending the tree, but doubting whether h.e could perform the feat, he yielded to the girl's hand and quickly sprang upon the horse behind her. As the noble animal turned the horns of th steers crushed against the tree and several of the big grutes fell headlong, rolling over the very spot where the rescued man had been ly ing. Their carcasses were trampled to jelly by the sharp hoofs of the ing herd. The sure-footed horse bore the dian girl and the Texan away at top of his speed, but more than fiy- In- the 500 head of furious beasts were close to his heels and it was four miles to a place of safety. “Ride straight to the river,” shout- ed Ward, as soon ; command his voice. “I know, I know, ,s he was able to replied the girl. “Maybe we can turn out of the way pretty soon,” she added. The earth seemed to tremble as if convulsed by an earthquake and the air was filled with a roar more an palling than the noise of the cyclone. Ward turned his head and he was surprised to see the red eyes of the mad brutes and their white horns most at his horse’s tail. Striking the foaming flank of horse with his hat, he shouted: “On, on, Lola, or we are lost!” the he turned uer head and looked into m$ slip off," she whispered. of the A good husband is but the evolution of a good son.

AVER CO., Lowell, Mass. l,®^ Thempsan’s Eye Water more nearly perfect than has hereto fore been dreamed of. Automobiles, the popular vehicle of the dawning century, have within a few months de clined in price owing to the improve ment of equipments, but the discovery of the sorely needed storage battery would eventually make them within reach of all. The discovery^of a practical storage battery will open a new era for the electric railway and hasten the fitly of electric propulsion for long dis tance express trains for mail and pas sengers. Even the subject of electric light ing has not been exhausted by any means. Greater brilliancy and the sav ing of the electrical energy now wast ed in lighting systems are the goals to be reached, and a beginning has been made by the recent introduction of a modification of the old kaolin light, whereby the mixture of oxides as a light-emitting element has served to produce a glow which is more bril liant than an incandescent light and yet not so dazzling as an arc. Supplementary to electrical inven tions proper will be the discoveries which may be expected in the field of electro-chemistry, the new science. Already this new sphere has pointed a way to filch gold from ores which no other process could induce to re lease it, and the newcomer among the sciences has limitless possibilities for usefulness in the purification of water. For photography and printing, the great twin educational factors, it is not difficult to foresee marvellous achievement. Color photography and motion pictures have only just begun to unfold their possibilities. Printing without ink is an accom plished fact, and it is only reasonable to expect the substitution for the tri color printing process of today, the multi-color printing process of tomor row—in other words, whereas the best printing process yet invented have ability to print in three distinct colors at one impression, the presses of the future will transfer to paper imprints embodying perhaps a dozen different . colors. I Every citizen is bound to benefit by I the boons to be brought by the area of I invention embraced in the next quar- I ter'of a century, for the reason that I many of the luxuries of the present day will be brought within the reach cf a vast proportion of the population. The members of the gentler sex will be enabled to wear fabrics of the most delicate hues with absolute certainty that the stuffs can be faded by neither sun ior rain; they may purchase at moderate prices cotton and wool gar- i -s which by means of the perfec- attending evil's until the new fuel— which, of course, wall have to be cheap er—is produced or until solar heat storage may be practicable.—New York Sun. LONDON’S PRIVATE PALACES, What Their Furnishings Cost—@100,000 to Decorate Single Rooms. The recent sale of Battle Abbey for $1,000,000—a figure at which the prop erty is considered almost ruinously cheap gives some small idea of the vast sums that may be expended on one’s domicile. Eaton hall, the Duke of Westminster's Cheshire seat, cost the late holder of the title considera bly over $5,000,000 to build, and prob ably even this figure would go only a very small way toward purchasing any one of some score of London houses as they stand; Perhaps none of these palaces strike wealth more than do Spencer house, in Arlington street, and Norfolk house, in St. James’ square. Stafford house, St. James’ palace, the largest of them by far, contains probably more mon ey’s worth than any of the others, but is not so lavishly decorated. One may discover that for a single sideboard without any history or age to enhance its value the sum of $2500 may be paid; for a suite to accom pany it another $2500; for a carpet for - the dining room, $3750; for curtains * for the same room, $60 a yard; on ■ fireplace and mantlepiece $1500 may be j laid out; the tapestry and carved pan- > eling with which to clothe the walls will cost $500 per panel, and the ceil- ; ing, if a Whistler or a Sargent deco- ' rates it, will run away with $30,000. I Altogether, one may invest $55,850 on j the dining room—one of the cheapest : apartments in the bouse. The mere ! mural decoration in the grand drawing room will cost more,- and its other ap pointments four or five times as much. Then, there will be three or four small er drawing rooms, boudoirs and music rooms to furnish at a proportionate cost; a morning room or two, which will cost a mere $50,000 apiece; a li brary that cannot very well be fur nished in keeping with the rest for | less than $60,000, including books. | With regard to the bedrooms^ $3500 j apiece may be paid for some of the suites and $500 for the beds. These figures are by no means fancy prices mat it would be difficult to spend. To such a firm as Waring’s they represent items that there would be easily sup plied.—London Mail. The Diplomatic Hunch. What is now known as the “diplo matic hunch” bids fair to become epi demic in the social life at Washington. Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassa dor, introduced it. The members of the diplomatic corps adopted it with out any hesitancy, and now social Washington is taking it up. When the British ambassador re turned from abroad recently Me brought a new bow with him. The old form of simply bending the body with the waitst or inclining the head is disappearing. Those who are follow ing the example set by Lord Paunce- ■ fote simply hump the back by draw- j ing together the shoulders and then I suddenly allowing the back to drop to its natural position. The new bow was christened the “diplomatic hunch” by an official of the state de partment who was the first to notice it. The diplomatic corps has formally adopted it in order to follow the lead of the dean of the corps. IS A -W MXT-.X.S. Engines and Boilers Stenin Water Heaters, Steam Pumps and Pembertliy Injectors.
