TWICKENHAM.

Famous th Abode of Many English Litorary Giant. The place to which the lover of English literature will sooner or later turn his steps 1b Twickenham. No other bma.ll town can boast of having been the residence and beloved abode of so many famous literary lights. With St are associated the Immortal names of Tope, Horace Walpole, Swift, Gay, Lady Wortley Montagu, Gibson, Boswell, Johnson, Tennyson and Dickens. Surely this is enough to make any place doably Immortal! Twickenham waa well nicknamed by Horace Walpole the Baiae, or Tivoll, of England, for it has truly been to London what Baiae was to ancient Rome indeed. In a far higher degree. The big red brick house In Montpelier road where Alfred Tennyson lived for so many years of his earlier married life was the one in which many of his earlier poems were written. There his eon Lionel, the second Lord Tennyson, was born, and there the author of "Idylls" entertained many of his literary friends and acquaintances. That houne should surely be sacred to all lovers of English literature, which saw the dawn of "In Meinoriam," which witnessed those delightful gatherings graced by Tennyson, Hallam and kindred spirits within lis walla. It ia today called "Tennyson House." Westminster Gazette. Men's Maids. "Men's ma ids, yes," said an employment agent. "There are more of them than of men's men or valets. Visit the fashionable hotels of California, Florida, the Riviera, Egypt, and as you pass open bedroom doors of a morning or an afternoon what do you see? Maids changing the studs in evening shirts, pressing trousers with patent alcohol Irons, brushing coats and putting fresh laces in boots. The average well to do couple the couple that can afford the best winter and summer resorts travel with a maid, but not with a maid and a valet, for, after all, a valet Is very expensive, and his duties occupy only a few hours a day, and a maid can get through all of them just as well as not. So the average lady's maid is a roan's inaid as well maid to the wife, valet to the husband. She likes her latter duties. They are. you pee. simple nnd easy, nnd they draw forth the most generous tips." New York Press. Reynard the Fox. Rertard. r. ;is it b; more usually written. Reynard, is the name given to the fox in n famous German epic of the fourteenth century called "Reynard the Fox." The book Is really a ssatlre on the state of Germany in the middle iiges. the different animals, each of which are given n special name, typifying different institutions. Thu Reynard the Fox stands for the church Isengrim the Wolf for the barons am! Nodel the Lion lor the emperor, otli er characters are Tibert the ' Bruin the Bear. Roth In the , d case and that of Reynard . Funal name given by the author l;as passed into common speech. Martin Littleton, the leading counsel in the Thaw case Is well known in New York for his sharp and acid wit. At a recent dinner recently Mr. Littleton in a sparkling speech, said of a certain jurist: "It's a pity he doesn't know n little law, as then he would have a mattering of everything."

w THAT ROD

HER ROMANCE IS NOW SHATTERED SAYS RUMOR

MISS CATHERINE ELKINS. The Duke of the Abruzzi, whom persistent rumor says will not wed Miss Katherine Elkins, has arrived at St. Augustine, Fla., and has been seen almost continually in the young woman's company. He will probably return to his home Saturday without the American miss, however. A LEARNED LUNATIC. Alexander Crucian, the Compiler of the Bible Concordance. Alexander Cruden, the persevering and painstaking compiler of the famous Concordance to the Bible, was appointed bookseller to the queen of George II. by Sir Robert Walpole. The Concordance which has conferred celebrity on his name was published and dedicated to Queen Caroline in 17S7. He was permitted to present a copy of it in person to her majesty, who, he said, smiled upon him and assured him the was much obliged to him. Sho died sixteen days afterward, and Cruden did not reap the benefit of the queen's appreciation which he had anticipated. He prepared a second edition twenty-four years afterward and dedicated it to her grandson, George HI. For this and a third edition Issued in 1769 he reaped a reward of 800. Cruden was a very eccentric character and was thrice placed in private lunatic asylums. He designated himself "Alexander the Corrector" and also the "Corrector of Morals," his claim to the latter title consisting In his stopping all persons whom he met In public places on Sundays and admonishing them to go home and keep the Sabbath day holy. lie was a great believer in the distribution of tracts and spent a great part of his means in this way. It seems difficult to believe that an eccentric man of this sort should have his name associated with such a remarkably painstaking book as his Concordance undoubtedly is, as it must have cost an enormous amount of labor in its compilation, but it was probably the severity of his occupation that unhinged his mind. He died at Camden street, Islington, on Nov. 1, 1770. AN OCEAN VOYAGE. One of the Thing It Teaches ia the Value of System. "I wish," said the head of a large business bouse, "that every man who distresses his friends and associates by bis lack of method could be told off to take a trip or a succession of trips on the sea. He'd learn something; he'd have to. There's a force In example, you know, and the effects of shipshape conditions would make themselves felt sooner or later. I don't mean to say that a revolution In character would follow any such experience, but with the majority of people it is safe to say that there would be some alteration for the better. "Oh. yes, I know, there are certain men and women who are born to disorder, as you might say, and who couldn't be helped by any course of treatment. They are the unfortunates of business and professional life, that's all. But for the Ignorant, the thoughtless, those who never have appreciated what a saving of time Is involved in a little sensible planning or in the following of approved system in routine matters, a sea voyage, with Its discipline, its precise allotment of time, its method, in a word, must prove a most beneficial thing. It's funny that when you hear so much about the restfulness of ocean travel so few realize that the regularity of the life. Its system, its evident adaptation of means to ends, constitutes uch a large factor in bringing about this resu'.t. And the ume principle can be applied on shore." New York Fres. Diamond Cut Diamond. Once upon a time there were in Paris two papers, the Razor and the Scorpion, which were always going for each other with great ferocity. Every wppk people bought the Razor to road how it cut at the Scorpion and the Scorpion to learn how it stung the Razor. A certain philanthropist felt pained to see such violence, so he invited the two editors to dine In the hope that over good fare hp could make peace between them. At the appointed time one loan, meh'ueholy man predated himself sr..! was ushered in. After an interval, as mo other jruest approached, the hvst deius'iiied: "May 1 ask. are you the editor of the Razor or Scorpion:" "Both." said the sad eyed man. . this concern you. reaa careful y. .luweil'l Sr up Pepsia it potiti.tly msr M to cure ind'sro'loa. conMipattoa. tk k hea offen.iv irr'h. taa'arin ana all Cisea; ..iaT troin aiorra.-" 'rouble.

It is not always wise to force upon a people new customs, even those of advanced principle, in the face of long established tradition. Lady Burton discovered this truth when she attempted to introduce European courtesy Into the orient. She tells of her experience In "Inner Life of Syria." The incident occurred at one of her own receptions. It is de rigueur every time coffee, tea or sherbet comes in for every fresh relay of visitors that I should take It with them and drink first. When 1 first arrived I used to get up as a matter of course, make the tea and coffee and carry it round. The dragomans would sit lailJy and watch. One day 1 asked them to get up and help me. They were pleased to do so and willingly handed the refreshments to any of the Europeans, man or woman, but not to their own ladies, who blushed, hogged their pardon and were quite confused when I made It known this attention was for them as well as for others. The women looked appealingly at me and stood up, praying not to be served. One man who was really In love with his wife, a beautiful creature, gave her a teacup as if it were a good joke, with a little sneer. She bent, kissed his hand and begged his pardon. I felt quite indignant with the men for so behaving to their wives, mothers and sisters, but one said to me: "Pray, Mrs. Burton, do not teach our women things they do not know about and never saw." After that I held my tongue, but I let him know that with Europeans it was the height of bad taste not to wait on any woman. HAD HIS REVENGE. But the Heartless Hotel Man Got In the Last Laugh. A hotel proprietor In Kansas City once told of an amusing Incident connected with the stay at his house of a rural politician. The politician had come to the hotel for but ne day, and he had takn hi dinner elsewhere with a friend. Wlifu on coming to pay his bill he found himself charged with a day's board, dinner and all, he protested vigorously. It was explained to him that the American plan was based strict'y ou time and that if he chose to fat elsewhere it was his -vvi n lookout. The man. however, refused to be pacified and paid the bill under protest. Theu. to every one's surprise, he asked if dinner were "still ou." Upon being Informed that it lasted until 9 in the evening he exclaimed: "I've eaten one dinner, but I'm going to get my money's worth out of this house if 1 suffer all the torments of dyspepsia." He then rushed into one of the diaing r'uis. seized a I L'l of fare and or-(I-rod everything he could tbJtik of. When he finally reached his limit, the waiter haudrKl hior a check for $S.:'. "What's that for'-" he demanded. "Vxiir dliiiior. sir." "But I have already paid for ray dinner la my bilt." protested the unfot'n.nare iuuv.. l a l. ;.-i Ing here ou the - T i i -r i . -;i :j piatt." "Tiic:i ..!!

LITTLE THINGS OF HAIR RIBBONS. For quite small girls whose heads are bobbed a dainty pink or blue bow that ties the lock off the face, the loops coming on the left side, ia a pretty decoration. SMALL THINGS RULE. The small things of dress really rule the costume. And one of the most becoming of the new dress fancies is tho modesty fold which is worn around the low neck or which is used to fill in the square neck should tho gown be cut too low for general wear. A lrjvely dinner dress of ecru crepe do chine was finished with a modest fold of pink chiffon which was set Into the square neck front and back. Tho chiffon was embroidered and seeded with pearls. And another gown had a fold of Persian velvet in the neck. It was four inches deep, forming a little vest, and the velvet was most elaborately embroidered in various tones of silk and gold. IT IS DECREED THAT Beltings of heavy silk one and threequarters inches wide shall be worn with clotli or linen costumes, made with skirt and waist separate. RESOLUTION WILL BE CONFIRMED BY BOARD OF (Continued From Page One.) against the proposed improvement the board took the matter under advisement. It is probable that the board this afternoon ignored the protests of the affected property owners and will confirm the resolution. In such case property owners will then have ten days in which to file a remonstrance. This action will be tnken and the question will then be submitted to council for solution. City Will Refuse. The board will positively refuse to agree to a plan whereby the city shall pay for the paving of the Mrcet and tho property owners pay for the cement curbs, glitters and sidewalks. On the other hand the property owners stato that if the street is paved, this plan is the only one they will submit to without lighting to the last ditch. George Seidel, of the Seidel Buggy company, claimed this morning, that under the terms of the resolution adopted for the paving of North E street, no guarantee was made the property owners that the city would, as the board members stated this morning, pay S7.7 of this expense. After the meftiiig Mr. Seidel was asked if th.p properly owners would agree u meet, their sham of thf eost of paving the street, providing tluiL ee-rm-nt walks were r.ot provided lur. He replied that this compruniie would no; be aeceptable. Mating that it wouid only be a qiif m ion of a hort r i 1 1 i before the iry would attempt to force the property owners to swallow this kind of an improvement.

Her veil sho will have so tho only thing is to try to educate her iuto the least injurious kind. White and red veils are trying to the eyes; so are dotted designs and heavy meshed nets.

As a matter of fact, it is stated there Is not the slightest chance of Shiveley getting into tho race if he has his own way, but Mayor Fogarty's followers would enjoy placing him anywhere just so it is outside the Thirteenth district.
