(American New Hervlre) Boston, Mass Oct.. 22.7-Mrs. Harriet C. Atherton, a resident of Pprtsmouth, N. II., has arranged to start tomorrow on a trip ' to almost unknown .rontons of South America, there to seek the body of her husband Charles E. Atherton. who is. supposed to have perished twelve years ago while hunting . for a silver mine in the Andes. ' After spending eight years In Ecuador, where he prospered as a miner, Atherton returned to New York on a vacation. There he married, and with his wife returned to South' America. Two yeara later, fired by the marvelous tales of the boundless silver veins In the Andes ranges near the Brazilian boundary lines, Atherton sent his wife home for a vacation while he went on a prospecting tour. He has -net bfen seen since. ' Mrs. "Atherton received a letter from Ecuador four months after his disappearance which Informed her that It' was believed her husband was dead. She Immediately left for Ecuador, and sent out expedition after ex pedition, but no trace of the man, living ot dead, could be found. She atlll clings however to the belief that he will find at least the body of her husband. When she next arrives In Ecuador she Intends to employ a big band of natives to help her seek for him In the wild Andean country. DISCUSS . LIABILITY American News Service) Chicago, Oct. 22.

For the Children

Hew te Photograph the Frisky Squirrel. . V- 'V .. The photographer in search of a comparatively rare and fascinating subject would be well advised to combine his or her hobby with thst of the naturalist and, in addition to securing permnuent records, will derive much pleasure from spending a few bourn or even a tiny with that seml-wlld. attractive little animal, the gray squirrel. Some precautions are necessary until you ' have gnjned the confidence of these shy and reserved pets, as on account of their somewhat diminutive size they should be photographed at not less a distance than four to six feet. The camera should be used as pear the ground as conveniently no nlble. and the writer has found a kneeling position the most generally desirable. It will be found that the. camera is viewed with a certain amount of distrust, especially when advancing to the subject, and whenever possible the subject should be Induced to approach the camera. Avoid all semblance of hurry or sudden movements, as the squirrel once frightened means an opportunity lost instead of gained. Do not be in too great a hurry to employ the camera, and the time spent in mnkIns observations will enable the photographer to decide what positions to take and what to avoid wasting his plates on. "Comio Concert" Gam. Every one in the company chooses an Imaginary musical Instrument One may be a violin, another a piano, a harp, and so on. The leader of the band also chooses one, say the flute. He begins to play this Imaginary Inst ru men t. running his fingers up and down It nnd tooting away In representation of the real instrument. As soon as be begins the other players must follow suit. The piano player begins to st mm an imaginary piano, the violin player to wield his bow, and so on. Not only must the players Imitate the actions, but also the sounds which proceed from the various Instruments. During the concert the leader will suddenly cease playing his flute and commence playing the violin, when the violin player mast take up the leader's discarded flute playing. Presently the lender will change again. Any player who falls to take up the leader's. Instmmentwnust take the leader's place and likewise pay a forfeit Fairies In Kaffir Land. - There are fairies of all kinds In Kaffir Land so at least you would be told by .the merry little children whose dark skins gleam like satin ns they romp nnd play in the aun. When the long happy day is over and dusk cornea on they gather around the open fire In a wide circle, aud some old woman of the ' tribe stands up and tells them weird stories of elves and goblins, ot grim Inxinlus, or ogres, who do most dreadful things to boys and girls who come under their spells. Fortunately, however, there Is always some good genius nt hand In the shnpe of a "rabbit rlnce" or a -fairy bird" to come to the rescue, and monster serpents have a most encouraging way of turning Into noble kings with gorgeous palaces.

No Monkey Business" in the Wo(k of Selling Park Stock

There is to be no monkey business about the effort to put through the Richmond lake and park proposition aa is evident from the fact' that the committee in charge Is getting right Into the work- A meeting waa -held Friday afternoon at which plana for the work were discussed and It Is the intention to take up an active canvass" at once. Preliminary to this a prospectus, which includes a map of the proposed ground and lakes, and a,full explanation of what is desired and the terms on which stock is to be subscribed for, is being put Into every house In the city. This with the newspaper publicity lays the ground work of the thorough canvass that will be made for funds. The committee that has been placed in charge includes a number of the most active and Influential of the business and profession men who usually get what tliey go after and it is HEW SLOT MACHINES 'Slot machines ot various kinds about such business houses as find them profitable seem to be on the increase, rather than the contrary. As slot machines are now conducted it is not possible for the patron to lose but it is possible for him to win; that is to, say, that with every nickel he puts in he either gets a cigar or a package ot gum or some other article that is supposed to represent the Value of his money, while "he has a chance to get several times the value of his nickel.' The proprietor profits by the increase in trade that comes about through this Inducement to try one's' luck. The amount of business done by these slot machines Would be surprising to those who have never had occasion to note their workings. Just how far they are contributing to an increase in the desire on the part ot the men and boys to gamble remains for the students of sociology to determine. The Springbok. ' A peculiarity of that most beautiful of South African antelopes the springbok is that it always leap, over human tracks. It is at once exceedingly sby and marvelously active, and the reason for this strange antic is its intense suspicion of any possible enemies, among whom it has come to recognize man as the most dangerous. It Is not only with' human tracks that the springbok goes through this performance, for it does the same with this' tracks ot liona or even when it gets wind of a lion. The leap is exceedingly graceful, and the animal covers from twelve to fifteen feet at each bound. It drops on all four feet at once and Immediately rises again, making a clear spring without any run. Its usual gait when not pursued Is a light springy trot. The springbok usually travels with Its nose to the ground, as if constantly on the lookout for th scent of enemies. , " A Mole's Nest Among common animals few have been less studied In their life history than the mole. -Mr. Lionel E. Adams says that under, the "fortress" which the mole constructs above the surface of the ground will always be found a series of tunnels running out beneath the adjacent .field. . A curious feature almost invariably found is a perpendicular ruu penetrating about a foot below the bottom of the nest and then turning upward .to meet another run. A trole is never foind IA his best although It may yet be warm from bis body when opened.. Guided by smell and hearing, a mole frequently locates the nest of a partridge or pheasant above his run and. penetrating It from below, eats the eggs. The adult mole Is practically blind, bnt there are embryonic indications that the power ef eight in the race baa deteriorated. A Japanese Peculiarity. "When a Japanese servant is rebuked or scolded." saya a traveler, be must smile like ft Cheshire cat The etiquette in smiles is very misleading at first. I often used to think that Takl. my.rlksha kboy.' meant to be Impertinent when be Insisted on smiling when I was angry at him. ' But when he told me of the death of his little child with a hurst of laughter 1 knew that this Was only one of the curious details of etiquette in this topsy turvy land." One Definition. Tape." asked a little boy. "what Is legal blank T' "A legal blank. Joliuny," replied bla father -"in a lawyer who never gets a case." Chicago Record-Herald. "LET'S HAVE A DOPE!" "Come oh, let's Rave a - dope, boys." ' This is one of the most common expressions to be heard among the boys od the street ajtd following the remark' they repair to some soda-fountain and order up their favorite dope, which is one of the ' most popular forms of refreshment dealt -out at the fountains. It is thought- to be a safe guess that more money is spent by the school children for "dopes" than for any other thing In the line ot eatables, and the habit has grown so extensively as to amount almost to a crate. I ft roads on the boys finances nave been so great that some alarm has been caused among the - parents. Cases have been cited where various ot the boys have the "dope" habit to such an extent that they contract considerable indebtedness to satisfy this particular tad. .

Confidently believed this will be' no exception. The committee includes S. S. Strattan. Jr., J. A. Carr. Henry Gennett, John F. McCarthy. Howard A? Dill, E. Guerney Hill, Richard Sedgwick. S. E. Swayne, Sharon E. Jones, Dr. T. Henry Davis. Adam H.'Bartel. Hi Ri -Robinson; chairman. Harry Gennett, William . Campbeirand E. M. Haas. ' One of the strong points made in presentation of the plans is that it is hot the Intention to promote this company for any purpose-of profit and It is understood that the entire capital t tock of the company shall be held In trust for the purpose of -eventual transfer to . the city of Richmond, should the city desire to purchase the tame for further additions to its parklag system. . , The. committee wIH hold another meeting early the coming week and teach a definite decision as to just the plans that are to be carried out

TRACEWELL IS HERE Controller of United States Treasury Visiting Chas. E. Shiveley. WIFE ACCOMPANIED HIM Judge R. J. Tracewell, controller of the United States treasury, and Mrs. Tracewell, will be guests of Mr. and Mrs. Charlea E. Shiveley at their home on South Fourteenth street over Sunday. They will arrive in this city this evening from Indianapolis, where they have been visiting former Vice President and Mrs. Fairbanks. The record which Judge Tracewell has established as controller of the currency is said to be unequalled by any of his predecessors. He haB served in such capacity under the McKlnley, Roosevelt and Taft administration!, being appointed to the position by President McKlnley in 1897. He is a native of Corydon, Ind., and in 1892 was elected congressman from that district serving contluously until his appointment aa controller of the currency. His position is a most powerful one. He is the only man who can hold up any ot the government appropriations and can even withhold the president's salary, if he desires., The position Is so important that there probably- have been fewer men filling this Office than any other in the government. Once a man is appointed and makes good, politics makes little difference and presidents are very apt to continue him in office. HAAS LAY DELEGATE Edgar H. Haas, postmaster, Was chosen lay deleggate to the General Synod by the Olive Branch Lutheran Synod which has just closed its seschosen lay. delegate to the General Synod will meet in Washington, D. C. next June. The Session of the Olive Branch body was one of the most sat isfactory in its, history, its condition being shown to be flourishing and the benevolent fund was more than raised, the Richmond churches leading in this regard. Rev. G. E. Harsh, Columbus, Ind., formerly pastor ot the Second Lu theran church in Richmond, was elect ed president and the next session will be held at Cicero, Ind. The visitors In attendance upon the synod were de lighted with the treatment accorded them, the entertainment being of the most bountiful nature. ARE AFTER MEMBERS Another campaign will be made by the officials qf the Young Men's Chris tian association to increase the mem berShip of the institution. " The directors at a special meeting on Friday evening decided that every member would be asked to secure a new member before November 10th and in this way double the present membership. Ah effort will be made to interest the men and boys employed in the factor ies of the City in the association. A house to house canvass will be made by organised -groups among whom there will be much rivalry.

COSTLY, LOOKING COAT.

.An Imitation Wrap Hard to Tell From the Real Thing. SMART KfW OUT OF IXKCTBIO SKit. You don't like Imitation for coats? Well, no- woman' liked them until re cently, when the makers have produced such wonderful imitations that they cheat even the trade with them. Such a deception is to be seen in the long coat pictured ot electric seal and Imitation Persian lamb. This "lamb" is not the imitation cloth that has passed for fur with which we have been familiar for many seasons. No; it's a product of this season and can not possibly be told from genuine fur unless closely inspected. This coat would cost at least $500 if of pelts, and aa it stands the price is only $39. Now what do yon think of imitation fur coats? To Reduce Household Toil. Each season see several new labor saving Invention for woman's Work in the household, and this year Is no exception to the rule. A new and very simple bread mixer is one of the labor saving devices. It la In only two parts cxevxK tw nrromoKS. and therefore easily kept clean; besides, it mixes the dough thoroughly and scientifically in a few minutes. For the farmer's wife the latest butter churn is a blessing, for it makes the butter "come" In a minute. A small rest of perforated aluminium fitted with a clip is another fine thing. A clip is attached to a kettle or saucepan to be used for holding the spoon when the contents require frequent stirrings, saving both time and trouble. Ten cents will purchase this little convenience, r Where polished floors abound the new felt castor 1s something the housewife should have. It saves her floors from being scratched and herself the labor of removing the ravishes of the careless moving about of furniture. A new kmd of broom te be used for a hardwood kitchen floor is called the dry eord broom. It is shaped like the ordinary hair floor broom, but cords are used, instead of bristles. We wouldn't suspect how good some people are If they didn't tell us. LATOIIIA WILL OPEII tAmerlcan News Service.
