NEW SHORT STORIES Roosevelt's Nervy Guide. . Here is a story told by President Roosevelt of an Indian guide who had a natural power of charming snakes. The party, of which Colonel Roosevelt was one, struck a little frontier town where a strolling show was in progress. "We went in," said the colonel, "and found a performer challenging the au dience to handle his snakes. The guide nt once accepted the challenge and, having convinced every one of the per fect harmlessness of the reptiles, pro duced a number of rattlers from a bas ket he had with him. The performer Incontinently fled. The same guide was a most ardent believer in the redskins' tradition that It is an unjustifiable crime to kill a rattlesnake, as it "plays fair' in giving warning before it strikes. He repeatedly exhibited the immunity of all adherents to this creed by letting a rattler bite his heel." "What became of him?" asked one of the listeners. "Well, he tried to found a similar theory about bears, and it didn't work," Colonel Roosevelt replied significantly. "How so?" "He went in for a couple of tame bears, and then I thought it was time to part from his traveling menagerie, so I got him a job on a ranch we were passing. When I re turned, I asked after him, and they told me that when he went to show that he was immune from bears one of his pets called him a liar, and the other fel low proved the truth of his mate's ac cusation. They kept his moccasins as a memento." Result of a Steady Diet. As most people who have encounter ed him know full well. Senator Hanna has a very expressive way of saying things, relates the Chicago Chronicle. Frequently he is detained at his office at Cleveland until too late to eat his luncheon at the Union club, where he usually goes after leaving his office in the afternoons. On these occasions he eats his lunch at the restaurant in the Perry-Payde building and is usually accompanied by his private secretary, Elmer Dover. While at luncheon a few days ago the senator, who usually writes out the lunch orders for himself and his secretary, wrote "cold ham and Ice cream" for his secretary without ask ing what he wanted. "I know what you want," said the senator after handing the order to the waitress. "You always eat cold pig and ice cream." "But I'll tell you," he continued quite Seriously, "if you continue on that fare you will soon be nothing but a frozen hog." When He Struck the King:. It is not often that a subject can claim to have struck a king and yet survive and be accounted the most es- j timable of men. But this record be- '- longs to the veteran Lord Wemyss, who has lately celebrated his eighty third birthday, says London M. A. P. JILTED P.IO i 1STS. Objects to t!i-- Promotion of Her I'alse Lover. Tin- war department at Washington has before it for consideration an ex tremely curious case that of Miss Re becca Dou.class, a pretty girl of the Palmetto State, who protests against the issuance of a commission in the United Scates army to a former fiance who, she claims, has jilted her. There is on file at the war depart ment an application for a commission in the army from W. P. Crawford of Chester, S. C. bearing a long string of Indorsements from prominent southern ers. There was a strong probability that the ambition of the young man would shortly be gratified. Now that ambition has received a sudden check and a halt has been called in the mat ter. A few days ago a petition was re ceived by Assistant Secretary of War Sanger signed by a number of promi nent citizens of Chester, S. C. It was sent on behalf of Miss Douglass, who claimed that Mr. Crawford, -who at one time in the very near past had been engaged to her, had acted in a very shabby manner in fact, had jilt ed her, and that by his actions he had proved himself unfit to wear the uni form of a commissioned officer of Uncle Sam's soldier boys. While the officials of the war depart ment will not discuss the matter fur ther than to acknowledge the receipt of the protest, it is known from a high source that It will receive the attention it merits. om.es A home is never complete without children. Yet many homes are childless. Many wives are desolate for the lack of a child to love. Their lives are aimless void of the high motives of motherhood. While barrenness is causing incal culable sadness and sorrow, it exists in most cases on account of some little female trouble, which Wine of Card u I would speedily set right. This pure Wine regulates the disordered female organs by building up the worn out nerves and regulating the menstrual flow. It restores the fallen womb to its proper place. By strength ening the generative organs, it makes preg nancy possible where barrenness exists. You can depend on W1NECARDUB Suffering women all over the land have been depending on it for seventy-five years. No more convincing proof can be given than the testimony of Mrs. Benson, who is only one of thousands of women to whom Wine of Cardui has brought a permanent cure. Many cases of miscarriage that trouble which robs mothers of their hopes have been avoided by timely use of the Wine. You are asked to try Wine of Cardui and Thedforcfs Black-Draught, its companion medicine. Nine out of ten cases of female trouble, barren ness included, yield to them.

After eleven years of work R. C. L. Perkins, the English naturalist, haa just completed the collection of the fauna of Hawaii, says a cablegram from Honolulu. He has made two practically complete collections, one for the British museum and the other for the Bishop museum of Honolulu. His work covers everything that flies, walks or creeps, and it also comprises conchology as applied to land shells. Among the curious facts disclosed by his collection are that Hawaii has the only species of dragon flies that do not start in life from the water or of which the larvae are nonaquatic. The land shells are numerous and very beauti ful in color and markings. On the va rious islands the birds differ in a mark ed way. The Bishop museum Is now publish ing the results of Mr. Perkins' labors In several large volumes. I NO m T m L ! w 1 End of dainty jewelry. M Limit t o ( ur willingness to show it.

It was one night last year in the house Of lords. The king, then heir apparent, was seated on the cross benches listen ing to the debate. Immediately behind him was Lord Wemyss, who In the course of the sitting rose to address the house. The matter under discussion was one near his heart, and his ear nestness betrayed him into wild, wav ing movements of his arms, which the amused spectators observed more than once to menace the prince's shining hat The veteran peer, however, did not notice the danger and at last in a burst of eloquence brought his arm around full circle and hit the prince full on the crown of his hat, driving it almost over his eyes. The profuse apologies of the earl were met with a good humored smile from the victim. How Old He Know! Dr. F. J. Campbell, a celebrated blind educator of England, once had an amusing experience at a rough and ready hotel in the backwoods of Ameri ca. Two girls were at the dinner table with the doctor, and one of them was touchingly sympathetic. "Does your blindness make any difference to you when you eat?" she asked. "Why. yes; I know when my food's good just as well as you do." said the doctor. "And when you drink?" "Why, it's just the same. "And can you fall in love?" "Dear me, why, of course I can. 1 have fallen very much In love." "Well, but how can you say whether a girl's pretty? Do you mind telling me if I'm pretty?" "Not in the slightest." "Shall I put my hand on your face?" "I know without that," said the man with clos ed eyes. "You are the prettiest girl on the creek." "My! That's true!" ex claimed the girl as she rushed to her friend and asked, "Now, how did he know that?" We Have Just What You Are Lookina For.
