LOVE PIRATE"
Being the Diary of a Girl Involved
in Chicago Divorce, with
"Shadow Kiss."
GIVES NEW POINTS ON LOVE
Writes "It's Awful to Have to Talk
to a Kid That is Silly About You
When Yon Really Need Rest"
Called "Sunny Mary."
Chicago, 111. Miss Mary McLaln,
who vas named in the successful
suit for divorce brought by Mrs. Al
legretti, wife of a candy manufac
turer, has, in justification of herself,
made public part of a diary which
she kept while she was employed as
Mr. Alegretti's secrets ry. She de
termined on this after her employ
er's wife had called her a "love
pirate." At the trial Miss McLain be-
i came known as the "Shadow Kiss
er," witnesses testifying that they
recognixeJ her shadow en the office
curtains when Mr. Aliegretti em
braced her.
Here are some cf the extracts
from the young secretary's diary:
"It's avfrl to have to talk to a
kid that's silly about you when you
really need rest. It takes young
men' an awful while to get wise to a
dilemma.
"Those sad eyed men make me
weepy. Ginger! All the fellows
that think I'm cute are married or
bald headed, or both.
"It's hard to oe goood when the first
principle of life in the sweet, pure
air of the farm is to sell cold stor
age eggs for new laid.
"I'd rather chase home a cow with
cockle burrs In her tail through a
wet pasture than go three blocks for
a patent bottle of milk with all the
cream in one end.
"I'm thinking of opening a mani
cure parlor for exclusive patronage
that means nothing lets than $5.
Ma says the only people I'd get
would be lunatics. That's all right,
too. All the manicures would be
dea if Tvro it f"i tho T n 3. t i c .
"If kisses were ten dollar bills
what a merry world this would be!
"Now this diary is to tell just only
the absolute truth, and it's only for
me to read, because one doesn't dare
to tell the truth to oie's friends, and
i one s enemies aren t wortn talking
to.
"I've found out what love is. It
was in a book written by a man who
said he'd ben loved by more women
than lie had finders and tees. He
says love is a distemper. Gee! That's
what McCliui.oc-k'3 pup had when his
hair fell out and they drowned him
because he couldn't die from chloro
form. I think I see my finish.
"Oh, I believe I have found the
man. He's at least thirty-five, but
he is the darlingest darling in Chica
go, end he isn't married. When I
told Pa he said to wait" a month or
two, because the worst spavined
horse looks all right in the twilight.
Pa's getting to be a pessimist.
"Oh! little Mary, why is it that
all the women wait until they are
fifty and wear double lens glasses to
talk women's rights? I guess It is
because they don't find the sleddin'
quite so easy as they used to.
"Now, just think of me morbid.
Why they called me 'Sunny Mary'
from the time I was four, and the
first time I ever can remember being
real angry was when they fed my
milk toast to the Bishop because he
had bum teeth and I'd been crying
for it for over an hour. I was only
six then, but it shows you how they
rub it into the suffering little ones."
CUTS WAY OUT OF ICUUOX.
llutchev Nerrly Frozen l y Two Hours
of imprisonment.
Oakland, Cal. Fred. Lewis, a
local butcher, entered his icebox at
the close of business to adjust his
stock and took along an axe.
A spring lock on the outside
slipped into place as the door slipped
from his hand, and he immediately
began pounding and shouting for as
sistance. The intense cold rendered
him numb, and he finally, after two
hours' imprisonment, attacked the
walls with the axe.
Neighbors who heard the muffled
blows believed that burglars were
operating, and as Lewis crawled
through the hole he had made he
was confronted by a policeman, to
whom he explained the situation.
Uncovers Mastodon's Tooth.
Morocco, Ind. While digging a
ditch in Colfax township, Lewis
Guthrie unearthed a part of the
skeleton of a mastodon, among which
was a tooth that measured nine
Inches in length and five inches In
width and weighed almost - ten
pounds. The tooth is well preserved.
Many other bones of mastodons have
ben unearthed near here in the last
three or four yars.

AS TO A WO.' LAN'S AGE.
She Never Grows Old IJut Improves
as Years Pass.
Out in Missouri there is a happy
man who has been married for sixty
years and he ascribes all the joy that
has come to him because he has nev
er asked his wife her age. He has
a suspicion that she must be some
thing like as old as he is, and he ad
mits to more than four score, but the
subject has never been mentioned be
tween them, and he advises all hus
bands to go and do likewise.
This philosophy may have merit.
It at least would have that of econo
my, for if a woman were never to tell
her age she would never admit
having a birthday and the thrifty
husband would be saved and expen
ditures on this account. Unfortu
nately such is the nature of woman
kind that it 4s not likely there would
be any great gain at the end of the
year, for she would be able to get a
rake-off on some other count that
would make up the alleged profit.
Why are women in this part of
the world so chary of admitting the
years to which tehy have attained?
It is not so in China, where added
honors come with each birthday, and
to be wrinkled and gray-haired i3 to
De popular. In this country women
think they may secure eternal youth
either by not admitting their age or
by lying about it. Not many wom
en will admit to being over forty. It
used to be so that they like thirty
pretty well, but in the last score of
years the woman of forty has come
into her own and is quite the social
queen. But they don't g.et beyond
that so long as the hairdresser, the
drug store and the massage artist
can keep at work on complexion,
while corset makers and milliners
and dress-makers work on the figure.
It is the feminine theory that a wom
an is as young as she looks and she
often is willing to feel mighty bad
to keep up the appearance of youth.
What is the harm in admitting
age? One ought to be wiser and
better as one gets older and more at
tractive. The' ordinary man has no
delusions on this subject. He isn't
even deluded by the wiles and airs
of women. He smiles at their sub
terfuge and says nothing. He is will
ing to dress according to the weather
and he is not ashamed of wrinkles
or white hair so long as he can have
?cao3 in the world. - ' He may find
that his wife or daughters spend an
extraordinary amount in preserving
what the fashionable whims of the
hour called youth, but he is wise
enough to keep his mouth shut.
Women do not grow old. They
change and the right sort of women
is" improving all the time. If it is
any satisfaction to them to deceive
themselves they are not to be denied
the privilege. It ta.kes very little to
make some people happy and let
them have their w.ay. But Father
Time works relentlessly and "gets
there" at last.
Picnic Hints.
The lunch for a picnic shou'd he
abundant in variety and dainty.
Sandwiches should be wrapped
separately in waxed paper, and pack
ed in pasteboard boxes, each variety
in a box by Itself.
The cake should be baked in shee:3,
cut In squares, iced with var.ous fav
ored icings, wrapped in wax paper
and packed in a pasteboard box.
Chicken and all cold meats should
be kept whole, and not carved and
sliced before packing.
All fruits should be firm, never
overripe, and well cleaned before
putting into the basket.
The lemon-juice should be squeez
ed at home, and bottled; and don't
forget a supply of powdered sugar.
Cold coffe, tea, milk and grape
juice can be bottled, put into pail3,
and surrounded by ice, wrapped in
clean, heavy bags.
If hot coffee is desired, a small al
cohol lamp can be slipped into the
basket.
Don't forget to put in plenty of
relishes, such as pickles, olives, rad-dish-es
and spiced fruits, as they are
specially enjoyed at a picnic.
And don't forget the salt.
For and Against Suffrage Cause.
Marie Corelll continues to write
and speak against "votes for wom
en," in England, while Beatrice Har
raden is busy traveling from place to
place giving readings from "Ship3
that Pass In the Night" and her other
books to raise money to help the
suffrage cause. It Is said that Miss
Corelll has refused to meet Miss
Harraden in debate, saying aha
didn't care to make a spectacle of
herself.
Senators Faithful Wife.
M.rs. Thomas P. Gore, wife of the
blind Senator from Oklahoma, accom
panies her husband to each session
of the Senate, and watches every ges
ture of the man in whose election she
contributed more than any one else.
The senator himself calls her "hl3
eyes and right hand," and says she
knows more about parliamentary Taw
ard politics thai: any other woman in
tbe country.

Bermanr., at one time manager
cf a porcelain factory, turned his

As soon as he thought everything
was ripe for his undertaking Berg

that he .uns about to bail! a factory
where lead iron and copper would
be changed into the precious metal.
He collected his dupes at a great
seance, and after some mysterious

present, but which asserted that the
new "works" were to he called after
his name, and now was the time to
begin the building.
The innocents present handed out
their thousand-mark notes and Berg
mann opened a banking account.
Every week there was a seance,
and at one cf theni Bergmann in
formed bis dupes that Bombastua
was the spirit of a great physician
who lived BOO years ago and knew
all about turning ordinary metal into
gold. Rich bakers and butchers,
tailors and shoe manufacturers in a
big way of business joined the fra
ternity; even several Government of'
ficials handed in their names and
their thousand marks.
Bornbastus was summoned night
ly, and the gist of his communica

until finally Bergmann had $161,000
in bank, besides a considerable sum
with which to begin the "works."
He kept all the wires in his own
hands and he and Bornbastus and an
other worthy learned in the stars,
jvho professed to know the exact
hour when the corner-stone of the
"works" was to be laid, agreed to
share the plunder.
Besides the seances therei were
prayer meetings, at which Bergmann,
dressed as a "high priest," stood be
fore an elaborate altar and went
through various mummeries of his
own invention. One of his disciples
gave him in one sum $100,000.
There were no small contributions,
as Bergmann said his "works" must
have solid foundations.
And now the Saxon police are ex

beginning to ask whether their city

Chicago. In a lecture before the
Chicago College cf Medicine Dr. A.
R. Hagle explained a cure for love
sickness. "A doctor can prepare himself to
treat lovesickness through mental in
fluence just as more serious ills are
treated by it," he said. "One sug

CURES HORSES OF KICKING.
Apparatus Having a Whip Which
Strikes Horse Automatically.
Horses and other animals pos
sessed of the bad habit of kicking
can be easily cured by the employ
ment of an apparatus recently pat
ented by an Ohio man. The appar
atus was designed with the object of
automatically chastising the animal
immediately subsequent to the act
of kicking. The chastisement is ad
ministered by means of a whip sus
pended above the animal when he
shows a tendency to exercise his less
too freely.
The necessary parts of the appar
atus are a kicking board, an adjust
able holder and a whip. Assuming
that the parts are in operative posi
tion the horse kicks against the kick-
ing board and forces It alnst .''e
I wall cf ti e sall. The wUphcl-'.er
Is thrs forced in against th wall,
the vrtnper rortlon causing the w'. -p
to flescead and strike the aniiral a
sharp blow. When tbe whip has
reached Its lir'Jt of movement it re
turns to its normal posUion.
Avrtf!n "-n rr.
One of the most disrreerble spec
tacles along1 village stroets and coun
try roads is ti e sight cf noble trees
d'sngured by flarring alvertisements
and notices of various sorts. A
splendid oak, which commanded the
landscape long before the Revolu
tion, and arouses the sentiment of
veneration in the mind of anyone
who has a love for the beautiful
relics of the past receives no respect I
from the Village people.
To this tree a local tradesman at
taches a hideous advertisement Of a
clothing store. Eelow that the ad
vertisement of some fertilizer, rudely
printed cn cotton cloth, flaps In the
wind, offending the eyes of human
beings and frightening passing
horses.
Upon the great elm in a village
green are tacked all manner of an
nouncements of local concerts and
meetings, of lost breast-pinn' and
jack-knives, and of auction sales.
Its gray and venerable sides are fur
rowed and defaced by the nails driv
en there by several generations.
Seeing a tree served in this man
ner, the correspondent of a contem
porary has proposed that a placard
to read as fellows be added to the
rest:
L03T! THE DIGNITY OF TP'S -R2E
THROUGH THE DISRESFECT
OF THE TOWNSPEOPLE 1
This ill treatment of old trees Is
generally tha result of thoughtless
ness, and not of deliberate Intention,
and it is possible that such a placard
might lead people to think. There
certainly should be a convenient
place in every village for such an
nouncements as those described
but that place is not the most grace
ful and venerable tree in the town
nor, indeed, any tree at all.
World's Biggest Pile of Sawdust.
Probably the largest sawduBt pile
in the world is the one at Cheboygan,
Mich. This Is the product of one
mill. The mill, being run by wa
ter power, had no way of disposing
of its sawdust. The company was
not permitted to dump It Into the
river, and for a few years an attempt
was made to burn it.
There was so much smoke that the
village passed an 6rdinance prohibit
ing that form cf destruction. As a
consequence it was simply hauled
out Into a vacant field and during the
thirty years of its growth has acquir
ed monstrous proportions. It is a
hill 1,080 feet long, 875 feet wide
and ranges from 20 to 50 feet high.
The hill covers some twelve acres.
It is almost entirely white and Nor
way pine sawdust, because the mill
did not cut hemlock, except for the
last, two or three years before It was
closed down.
Life of the Railwayman.
Trainmen are the class of workers

Liquefying Extracted Hcney.
Whei. heat ig apiJ- ed to extracted
hcney to liquefy it, it will be found
that the centre of the mass w'll re
main solid long after the outer part
ha?, become melted, and the danger
Is that the outer part will become
over-heated wb'le the center is mat
ing. This danger is the greater, the
lower the temperature of the wholo
mass when the heat is applied. If
the entire lot be at the freezing point,
the center may cafy remain solid
wh de the outer part has ben Broil
ed by boiling. The plain su.??;c3tion
is that we should have the nr.-.s

Let It remain in a room whose tem

and then a very little heat will v.elt

Bees Drive Out Birds.
A large yellowhammer poked a
hole in a pcplir post on the front
porcdi of tie old Dr-Fore. rvr-,
three mi;es west of Bocnville, Ind.,
and built its net. Sron a lr -g9
swarm of bees settled on the roo" cf
the perch, and, find'ng the opening
made by the bird, they entered ar,a
began to make it their home. The
biids saw them intruding on their
young one and began to fight des
perately to save them. They flew
around with great effort, catching the
bees in their b-lls and curshing them.
Tbe bees fought back by stinging the
birds. In the end the bees triumph
ed. They drove the birds away from
their young one3 and are storing
ing honey In the old post.
Bees an.d Wild Flowers.
Every farm has on it fruit trees,
oerry patches,, clover, or buckwheat
fields all of which. In the absence of
bees, is evaporated by the sun and
practically wasted. The forests also
contain many linden and white wood
trees which are good honey yield era.
Then there are the autumn wild flow
ers, such as boneset, go'denrod, harts
ease and wild asters, which bloom
for a succession of two months, from
which the bees do not only store a
quantity of surplus honev, but a!so
fill the broad nests of the hive3 for

Improved Orchards.
The work In orchard renovation at
the Maine experiment station Is
claimed to have shown that an old,
unprofitable apple orchard may be
brought into profitable bearing conr
dition and the tree3 induced to an
nual bearing by proper use of fer
tilizers in connection with culture
pruning and spraying. The station
recommends fertilizer containing
about three per cent nitrogen, six per
cent phosphoric acid, and eight to
ten per cent potash, also using cov
er crops in the orchard as a source
of vegetable matter.
