The Captain's Ducks on

Ice.

An army officer stationed in Washington is a summer widower just now, as his better half and the children are enjoying the heated term at a watering place. The officer, notwithstanding his enforced term of bereavement, dresses as immaculately as ever and is very fond of appearing in spotless linen, particularly In the evening. When he came home from his daily labor the other afternoon the colored cook, for he keeps a bachelor hall, approached him defenentially and said: "Cap'n, does ye wp.nt de'ducks fer brekfus, an' how does ye want 'em cooked—roas'ed or how?" "Ducks," exclaimed the mastor of the house, in surprise, "1 don't wiyit any ducks this time of year, and I didn't order any." "Well, dey is heah jes same. A man brung 'em dis mawulu', and I said: 'Wat's dem?' and de man said: "Ducks fer de cap'n." An' I tuk 'cm and put "em on de ice terectly. for dis hot spell don't do no kind o' poultry no good. An' I kep 'em right on de ice all day."

Thereupon the captain was escorted to the refrigerator and saw a very limp but carefully tied bundle containing his new white duck suit, in which he Intended to appear that evening.

Ho didn't say much.—Washington Star.

Tli* Finest Ifoldi of Horace That Have F/sced a Starter This Season Are Beady for the Word.

A perfecT track, bright autumnal weather and the greatest strings of horses that are always temped here all combine to guarantee a week of as fine racing aa was ever seen on the great "Four cornered track." iiyehim

At both places where pools were sold last night—the Terre Haute House and the Health Office—the liveliest interest was evinced and both Ira Bride and Miller, of Little Rock, the auctioneers, declared that considering the hard times the sales were all that could be expected. For the opening night it was as spirited bidding as could have been hoped for. The first race of the day is for 3-year-old trotters, 2:40 class, and in this will be found Vipsania, Baronaise, Marguerite, Gov. Holt, Do So and other good ones. Then comes the great 2:11 pace and in which you may expect to see some heats rolled off as good as 2:06 or even better. And why should this not be so when in the big field 1b found three mares, Lottie Lorine, Phenol and Pearl C, that at different times during the season have held the race record for their classes. Besides these great ones there are such crackerjacks as Dick Wilkes, Spinxetta, Ole Hutch, Lucy Fan and Belle T.

For the 2:16 trot there are thirteen entries and with Satin Slipper, Axtelloid, Fannie Holman, Bessie Wilkes, Orenia, Pratell and Red Actor in the list some hot brushes may be looked for.

As a special feature for the opening day Marion Mills, the wonderful Oshkosh pacer that goes without driver or sulky, will 6tart against her record.

At the Terre Haute House pools on today's races sold as follows: 2 40 trot: Vipsania, $40 Baronaise, $10 Gov. Holt, 96, and field, $4. On the 2:11 pace*: Lottie Lorine, $40 Spinxetta, $16 Phenol, $12 Pearl C, $12, and field, $6. On the 2:16 trot: Satin Slipper, $40 Pratell, $14, and field, $20.

At the Health Office pools were sold as follows: Vipsania, $40, and field $32, not being sold out 2:11 pace: Lottie Lorine, $40 Pearl C, $24 Phenol, $24 Dick Wilkes, $16, and field $16. On the 2:16 trot: Satin Slipper, $40, and field $48, with Pratell, Fannie Holman and Red Actor in it.

THINK IT IS A BLUFF.

tMj&kAt of coal opkrA%oks to bkDDCB BCAX.B TO 50 CENTS.

If It Is Demanded the Sliners Bar They «'Wni Fight All the Harder tor the j"a Original Price, 60 Tents,

The Indications are that there Is to be a change In the mining situation in the bituminous district within the next few days. If not a change there'ls reason to believe that there is to be a new phase added to the strike which has been on for months. This change, it Is said, will be a demand on the part of the operators' association for a mining scale of 50 cents a ton.

There is scarcely room to doubt but the operators will make this demand and at the same time there is every Indication that the men will make the fight all the hotter in ease such a demand is made. T^te time has come in the controversy now on when there is to be a break on one side or the other. The operators have lost thousands of dollars In the long strike. They have lost many valuable contracts, some of which they may never regain. Their mines have run down to an extent that hundreds of dollars will have to be expended to put them in the same condition they were prior to the big strike.

On the other hand the miners have suffered, probably not to the extent that the operators have suffered, but they have been idle and have therefore been unable to purchase many necessities. With winter coming on there is a desire on both sides to have the strike settled, but there is a wide difference between the parties to the- controversy and the indications are that there will be no settlement this fall. The miners are holding out to a man for the 60-cent scale and the operators are just as determined they will, not pay the price asked.

Indeed it Some from J. S. Talloy, president bf the State Operators* Association, that roe members of his organization are getting ready to demand of the miners a scale of 60 cents, which is five cents less than the price the operators have heretofore been holding out for. Three weeks ago Mr. Talley intimated that there was such a thing possible as a demand on the part of the operators for a 50-cent scale, but at that time he added that If the men choose to accept the 55-cent scale at once and Vfeturn to work the price agreed upon— 65 cents—would be paid. At that time he also said that the mines would not be allowed to remain idle much longer. It was supposed then that he meant that in case the miners did not consent to return to work non-union miners would be imported.

Since this announcement no attempt has been made to start the mines, but it is given out that Ihe operators are now getting ready to demand that the men accept the 60 cent scale. Just when the manifesto will be Issued to the miners is not known. The reason for the action of the operators is said to be that the Grape Creek operators have reduced the scale since the strike in the^ Indiana fields was inaugurated thus making it necessary for reduction. President Knight of the miners, does not se* things that way. He says the action of the Grape Creek operators in reducing the scale should haveino effect on the Indiana fields, as the Grape Creek coal does not compete to any degree with Indiana coal on the Chicagovmarket.

The miners look on the reported demand on the part of the operators for a 50-cent scale as a bluff. They think the operators are of the opinion that they will go to work at 55 cents it threatened with a further reduction. It is said that if the demand is made—and there is little reason to doubt it will be, the miners will fight the harder for the 60-cent scale.

DEVOTION OF A DOG,

"llaby" Bassette Died anil Bis Pet Starved br the Body. For three long days and nights the pet dog of Paul Bassette kept solitary watch over the dead body of bis master, says an exchange. During all this time the faithful brute had absolutely no food and not a drop of water. But for the piteous howls of the starving and emaciated creature attracting attention to the room where Bassette had lived like a hermit the dog would have died at his post and lain there a sacrifice to such unreasoning affection as dogs only are capable of.

Paul Bassette was 65 years of age and lived on Tompkins street, Orange Valley, N. J. He worked aa a hatter in the "No Name" hat shop, on Mitchell street Being 6 feet 6 inches, high and innocent he has for the last twenty year# been known as "Baby Bassette."

He lived alone In ene room, always shunning society and having for sole companion a little mongrel dog. He kept entirely to himself and the fact of his absence, either around his home or at his work, was to all the world such an unimportant matter that for months it might have remained unnoticed. He had only his dog to care for him. He cared for not&lng else.

Yesterday a woman named Julia Edwards heard the heartbreaking lamentations and she called assistance to investigate.

On entering Bessette's room a ghastly spectacle was seen. Upon the squalid bed lay thebody of the man, in such a state that It was readily seen that he must have been dead a week."

By his side lay the. shaggy dog, moaning plteously and trying with bis canine caresses to rouse his master back to life. By starvation reduced to almost skin and bones, so feeble tbat it oould hardly stand, the mouth ched and shriveled by thirst the pgof lingered by the remains of its o&ly friend silently suffering until the pangs of

pari bru hunger had forced from it the feeble howls which had led to the discovery.

OLD GLORY'S PERPETUAL YOUTH

Flag at the Capitol Often Repaired but Never ene wad. It is a question which no one can answer— what becomes of the flags which fly session alter session over the two houses of congrosa? says the Washington Star. The life of a flag exposed at such height to the tattering winds naturally canaot be long. Every now and then, after a storm, a great rent is seen in "Old Glory," as it proclaims t'ryiu the housetop that tho statesmen are deliberating. Sometimes the edges only are frayod. Sometimes a stripe gone, or, perhaps, half the stars may Ue torn away. Then, a day or two, it flies with all its stripes and stars as

if it had iievr suifered by tile stoup. I asked what became of the old nags. Nobody knew.

What do you do with them. Nothing. They are the same flags. That Is, there are no new ones. The old flags are simply mended. There is a patriotic poem in this. "Old Glory" hasa perpetual life that is, the "Old Glory" that presides over the uapltol. When a stripe blows away a new one Is put in its place and the same old Auk pulled to thu head of the staff. It is the blue field and stars that is gone this is reproduced. If only a rent it is darned. Then auoth^l1 stripe goes and a new one is added. So on the old portions are blown away, the uewer standing until the new becomes the old in turn and tears away, and in endless revolution the old flag lives on. It is always tho same flag, but from year to year Its entire texture Is changed and the small bits are blown away by the winds and other small bits take their place. Thi^re is no graveyard for "Old Glory," It has perpetual life. No one can tell when the flag that floats over th« senate was bought •It is still a perfect flag, but no part of what was first drawn to the masthead Is now in existence1.'

VANITY FAIR.

It Is not so much massage and creams that keep the fuce of an actor or actress smooth and free from wrinkles as exercise of the muscles of the faco, Tho demands of the profession result in a systematic exercise of every muscle in the faco and the result is the same as one sees In ihe athlete's body. No one set of muscles being overworked, no one set becomes prominent, and the result when the face Is In repose is rather curious, having the effeot of a mask.

The weary woman of wealth, with her enormous house and the constant care that no hired housekeeper can wholly do away with, may well look envy on the Jamaica woman who has no cause to grow old through dust and overcrowded closets. Tho Jamaica woman Is exempt from these usual worries because she keeps house in an exceedingly primitive way. Her house 1s built of bamboo interwoven with plantain icoves and there are no garrets, cellars or closets. A rough bench, rude couch, some cooking utensils and a few gourds are all the furniture considered necessary. The women llud plenty of work to do, however. They take entire caro of the vegetable gardens surrounding each hut, and cultivate escecially H*e yams, which are the principal food. At other times thoy break stone for the government and earn a pittanoe that way.

An American woman who has spent much of her time abroad has a good word to say for English children. Children in hotels have been her one terror, but a fortnight •spent In a Brussels hotel led her captive to tho English enfant terrible. Her windows opened on a gallery that surrounded an Inner court of tho hotel and on this gallery a number of children belonging to Kngllsh families played daily. What charmed the American woman was that the children carried their breeding into their play and while their voices rise to the scheechlng point, and while they ran back and forth before hor windows they never halted curiously of paused to talk. The nurses, too. entered into the sports and games, seeming to enjoy tho frolic as well as the children. "An American nurse," said this woman, "seems tn think her duty done when she sits on a bench to gossip with another caretaker and keeps her eye on the children in her charge, who are left to pick up amusement In the best way they can."

A collection of thimbles would be Interesting In this day of collecting mania. The shape of the thimble has changed but little, but thimbles are-by no means lndentlcal. What is known as the tailor's thimble, hsvlng no top. was at one time made of gold or sllvef and studded with Jewels. Small pearls on gold thimbles are a favorite device hut are perishable, as they canont be set deeply enough to insure safety, and both, pearls and turquoise become discolored from constant u*«. For many years Ivory thimbles have not been In fashion and those preserved as heirlooms look clnmsv and uncomfortable, One use to which thimbles have heen put Is not known nowadays. Formerly thev were put on the fingers of children at night to make them taper. It Is said the remedy Is efficacious.
