Tales of GOTHAM and other CITIES

Chinese Wife “Alla Santee ’Melican”

MEW YORK.—Quon Shee Fes, fail Has the golden lily of the HoangHo, dainty as the purple plum that ripens under tea house eaves at Canton, has skipped from her golden neat at 9 Pell street, and there remain to mourn her Lon Pee, her lord, Mouchock, her white poodle, and Teelee, the yellow canary by the window. Quon Shee Pep flew into a rage the other night, hurled her husband’s sup- - per out of the window, beat her husband’s cousin, Lou Pon, over the head with a heavy fan, and then went out into the dark of .Fell street to lose herself from the sight of her outraged lord and master. All Chinatown hummed for days with the scandal. “She make-ee d-sufllagette business alla-time,” was the way Lou Pon, the abused cousin, explained the flight of Quon Shee Fee. Mournfully rubbing the bump on his head where the vigorous fan had whacked him, Cousin Lou developed his theory of what had ailed the winsome wife of. Lou Pee. “Alla-time she mak-ee lead-um ’bout de-sufflagette. Alla-time tink-um ’bout fool woman llte business. Woman alla-eamee husband, she say. Woman got fo’ have good time llkee husband —got fo’ stlay out noght—got fo’ ma-

Jelly Juggler Puts Coppers to Rout

ft LEVELAND, o.—The “Battle of V' Port Jelly” Just now Is the talk of the North side. With offlcers ln front of him, officers behind him, and officers circling ; afit around him, Frank Eingang, whose home is thought to be at 165 Grant street, hurled jars of jelly and other canned condiments at his assailants the other day. The latter were trying to capture his fort, which consisted of the cellar of the residence of Mrs. Henry W. Oliver, at 845 Ridge avenue, Northside. None of the members of the family was at home, as the summer home at Sewlckley has been opened. Sergeant of Police James Rea and Wagonmen James Sherry and Philip Mall were the besiegers of "Jelly Fort,” Before they captured Its lone defender they had dodged dozens of Jars of delicious sweets, which the besieged hurled with such unerring aim that they were forced to retreat and hold a council of war before they made their final sally. Eingang entered the cellar through a window jdfcich he smashed with a brick. Before entering he relieved himaelf Of all his garments. Neighbors telephoned the police. .In a few min- •' ’ - ’ -.ca-.

kes de-good time. Woman no stlay home, she say.” And there you have it-—the suffragette Invasion of Chinatown. Lou Fee, who is more prosperous than the average of his fellows, through the profitable tea business that he conducts at 9 Pell street, began to hear faint rambles of trouble the other morning, so he told Lieutenant Burke of the Elizabeth street station. He had been out playing domL.oes the night before and had dot come home until -r after midnight. When he did sneak into hla cozy flat over the store, his little Plum Blossom was sitting up with fire in her eye, just as a regular whifbWif j would may be. There had been a fine row; this much Lou Fee admitted. His spouse had declared flatly that if he was goring to stay out all hours of the night playing dominoes or fan-tan with the other Four Brothers boys, he need not expect to find a wife waiting for him at home.. But Lou Fee, who Is high in the councils of the Four Brothers, the Implacable enemies of the On Leong Tong, told his wife very properly—by Chinese standards, at least —to keep her mouth shut. He would stay out as late as he pleased. So yesterdays when dinner time, at 7 o’clock, tko lord of this suffragette spitfire* was not at home to partake of his evening shark’s fin. , ; i But Cousin Lou Pon was and he got what was designed for the husband.

utes the battle was on. First one policeman and then another, in their advance on the besieged, felt missiles whiz past their heads and smash With a . juicy crash against the wall. Try as they might, they could not reach the Jelly javelin thrower. After an Inglorious retreat and a palaver as to the best means of obtaining the surrender of the fort they returned to the attack, only to be met with a different defense. Eingang had discarded his jelly jars and assumed a mallet This he swung about his head. When his attention was attracted by revolver shots the three officers pounced upon him. Wagonman Mali's thumb was seized by the teeth of the Infuriated man and almost bitten off. When Eingang finally was bound tightly and taken to the patrol wagon it was found that Sergeant Rea’s also had been cut by flying glass.

staff of the State of Washington college, who' conducted experiments along similar lines while preparing a work on animal psychology, said the man who ridiculed the Grant idea is merely betraying his Ignorance. "That idea is not to be treated lightly," said Dr. Minig. "Anything that soothes the nerves aids in the milk production. Cows, as other animals, are attracted or repelled by sounds. TO use cusswords with your cows lessens the milk production. I do not question that soft music would have the desired effect in increasing the supply." Dr. Walter Baker, also a member of the staff, recalled an experiment where a dog secretes more saliva while eating as music is being played, and indorses the plan. ; *1 am inclined to think there may be more than a grain of truth in the reasoning, but I would not want Sousa with his brass band to amuse my cows. I believe violin music would get better results. In other words, I would prefer Kubelik to Sousa to entertain our cows at milking time."

SASHES RETURN TO FAVOR

Pretty Whim That Has Much to Recommend It Once More Strictly en Regie. ' The revival of the directoire fashions marks the return of the inevitable sash. This is a welcome fact to most women, who realize what an improvement sashes are to any frock. Black velvet or satin is a favored material for the directoire sash-girdle. These are not difficult to make and are Inexpensive if fashioned at home. It requires three yards of three-inch ribbon velvet Three-fourths of a yard forms the waist belt To this attach three hooks and eyes to fasten at the side. The longer sash end should be cut one and one-quarter yards and the shorter one yard long. The ends are bordered with a deep silk fringe. ' - If blaek satin is used, it requires one and one-half yards. Cut the strips bias, the desired width of the sash. Form the waist belt of soft folds. The ends are effective If embroidered either in black or colors. If the latter are preferred, select In Arabian design. The ends may be rounded or diagonal. Sashes of wide ribbon require very little time to make.' It requires three-fourths of a yard for the waist belt and the balance for the ends. Finish at the left side with a wreath of tiny flowers and foliage fashioned of ribbon. The ends are adorned in the same manner.

To keep hair In curl and at tbe same timer impart a delightful fragrance to the entire coiffure, dampen it with cologne water before winding it on the Iron. Leave the hair on tjife iron until tt fs quite dry. Avoid any curling fluid containing gum arable, as it leaves a white powder when dry, and this dulls and deadens the Bbeen of the hair. Scrim is the most sanitary material for face cloths. This cloth is porous and free from lint, allowing a free circulation of air. It also admits of quick and effective washing and drying, so tha t it cad be cleaned after every face bath. A ' Perfumed soap, except of the most delicate odor, Is no longer used by the woman of refined tastes. The odor of a heavily perfumed soap Is acrid and penetrating, completely effacing any finer fragrance from the scent bottle or sachet Use a pure soap devoid of perfume, and apply yopr favorite toilet water as an astringent after the face

SMALL TOUCHES THAT COUNT

Little Ideas for Beautifying the House That Will Be Found Useful to Remember. After the spring cleaning is over comes the time to add those little beautifying touches which always give mi air of “spick and spanhess" to the home. ' Good taste at present leans toward wall paper with little or no pattern. Striped papers, however, are pod frowned upon by the artistic. Plain papers produce a much more effective background for pretty furniture. White or cream tints make an admirable covering for the, drawing room walls. V'' Paintings look well upon it A carpet of moss green or pale mauve is attractive If Persian rugs are not used. Cover the chairs with cretonne or old-. fashioned chintz. ’ -- ; When having sepia-colored photographs framed, a narrow ebony or brown molding will enhance the beauty of the picture. The narrow line of black upon tbs wall Is charming, if in the living room or the dainty pink or blue bedroom. Tour summer draperies should be sheer and cool looking. A great variety of materials are suitable for this purpose, and range from high to low prices. M In summer the entire house should speak of coplness and comfort. Pack away all unnecessary articles of brio-a-brac to spare the extra work of ■caring for them during the dusty weather. , > If you decide to store the large rugs or carpets and use small ones, the floors should be well varnished and oiled, that they may be easily taken care of during the summer.

WHEN THE EARTH PABBEB.

Concerning the carrying power of the open air speaker's voice, Sir Mountstuart Grant Duff notes that an Oxford citizen who had traveled in the United States, told him that he had himself heard what Colonel Thompson, the secretary of the navy, was saying at a meeting in Indiana at a distance of half a mile. The same traveler qnoted the reply of another American orator, Mr. Corwin, to an Interruption, a man on the edge of a crowd at Buffalo kept clamoring “Louder, louder!” Finally the speaker retorted: “At the last day, when heaven and earth shall pass away like a scroll, when the Ancient of Days shall sit on his great whits throne, thousands and tens of thousands of the heavenly host ranged on his right hand and on his left, when the Archangel blows the trumpet that shall rend the tombstones and wake the dead, some fool from Buffalo will be heard shouting Louder, louder!”’—New York Press.
