Man I By LOUISA FENN It was not a pleasant position for a woman to have to sit and listen while two people discussed the man to whom she had just decided to entrust her future. “Then,” said the hostess, a genial and pleasant woman in spite of an inclination to gossip, “there’s Harry Winter. What do you think of him?” Myra had never heard Mm talked over by any friends, and the sensation was distinctly odd. “Oh, Harry Winter,” said the other visitor, and she gave a little half-con-temptuous laugh and shrug. “Well, Mrs. Carr, I should hardly describe him as an interesting specimen of the genus. There’s something about him that irritates me. You neVer can get anything out of him. I never heard hijn say anything but the most simple commonplaces, if he speaks at all. As a rule, he does not talk. A man who has knocked about the world as he has can’t have much in him when he is silent like that.” “Oh, well,” she said, in a tolerant way, “I don’t think you do the poor young man justice. I believe he is an awfully good sort. I believe his family think no end of him, but he certainly does not shine in society.” “Shine!” echoed her friend. “Shine! What a word to use in connection with young Winter. Ha! ha! ha!” Mrs. Carr joined in the laugh. “Well, I admit he is dull. He is the kind of man I cannot imagine in love, and there are not many men one can say that about.” Myra held her cup in a grip that nearly broke it, but did not move. ’“Well, I think I can imagine it,” said the other/ “He would fix on a commonplace person and ask her in a commonplace way. There would be no romance about it. Oh, I can picture the scene! —the commonplace-ness of it!” . j “I think,” said Mrs. Carr, “you have used the right word. One can sum up poor Harry Winter in the one word —commonplace.” Myra rose to her feet. She cduld always act, like most of her sex. “Interesting as this is,” she said to her hostess, “I am afraid I must" be going, Good-bye.” As she went she picked up a book she had left in the hall, and was soon out in Victoria street, walking fast in the direction of the Abbey. Her. thoughts took shape out of the chaos. Perhaps—could it be possible that it was true, and perhaps true of her too? She was the commonplace person spoken of, no doubt, and so a commonplace man had awakened sympathy in her. But there was another way to look at it. Perhaps she was not commonplace, and therefore he was was not for her! It was astonishing how the careless gossip had shaken her. If there was one thing she abhorred and dreaded, it was the idea of the humdrum future of the commonplace. Better by far a future alone with her own ideas and interests than shared and cheapened by contact with such limitations. What,had been the attraction? Conversations, words, even looks, rose before her in quick succession. Only two hours earlier she had been firm & in her intention to accept him when the crucial moment came. It could be done, and then she would have time to think and to study him among others; but “Man proposes—” Harry Winter was before her. He could not read her mind, or know what had brought that quick laugh or the flush of color which just passed like a wave over her face and left it white. “Good afternoon,” he said; “they told me you had gone to Victoria street, and I guessed you would come back this way. I always do myself." He calmly sat down beside her, and she flinched. She knew instinctively what was coming unless she could ward it off. If it came, she would refuse him absolutely; but at least she would see how far the two women were right, and would know if others had gauged his character better than herself. She wished his very proximity did not make her tremble. It was not a sensation she was used to. Was that commonplace, too? “May I see your book?” he said, taking it as he spoke, “firowning?” He fingered it with a half-affectionate touch. “I used to read Browning constantly.” "Why ‘used to?’ ” said Myra quickly. “I should have thought if one liked Browning, one would like him always, unless one’s whole nature changed. I love him,” she said impulsively. “I love his wholesome breeziness. There is nothing sickly even in his most sentimental lines.” “Perhaps one’s wnole nature does change sometimes. One goes through

Irish Ruler In Papua. Irishmen are to be found as rulers and administrators In the most outlandish places, says the London Chronicle. There Is one named O’Malley in charge of a district of Papua, who seems to be getting along very well with the cannibals and head hunters. In his latest official report he describes himself as "a chief who controls thousands of natives, composes their quarrels, and is the pivot on which their tribal life revolves.” Mr. O’Malley adds that he has put a stop to compulsory marriages. He has arranged that “girls should follow the dictates of their own hearts irrespective of the buying and selling propensities of their parents.” Hibernian gallantry at the equator! Queer Names for Children. The negro races on the west coast of Africa, as described by Mary Gaunt in “Alone in West Africa,” have the poetic .gift well developed when it comes to the. naming of children, says the New York Post. There is a close resemblance to our own Indian nomenc!?yrr« in names like “Laughing at i

phases when different writers appdai to one.” “Which belongs to your present phase?” she asked cautiously. He was silent a minute. Then he answered without looking at her. “No writer has any connection with my present phase. I find none to fit it I do not read just now.” “Curious,” said Myra, and she laughed nervously; but nothing else occurred to her to say, though she serached anxiously for one of the commonplace remarks which she scorned. “Don’t laugh,” he said; “but my present phase is life in a dream. It is a dream that dazzles me, and I dare not wake. I have not the courage to. wake myself. If anyone else said to me, ‘Wake, for your dream is true, 1 I should be roused again; but today 1 do not think they will, and I feel 1 must go on dreaming, since the dream brings me happiness.” “There are so many things that give one happiness,” said Myra; “one need not sleep to find it” “Are there?’’ he said. “I have not met stem. lam glad if you have. To me now there is only one happiness, and only one human being could bring it to me.” He paused. “If she could not—if she could not, I would rather not be told. I would still dream.” Myra rose suddenly. “It is time I was home,” she said. He rose, too, and straightened himself up squarely. “Thank you,” he said hoarsely, and drawing a deep breath. “That is all;’ 1 and he added in a low voice. “I knew you would understand me—it is I whc was wrong. I thought I had understood you. lam sorry.” Myra was quite silent. She would have given worlds th be commonplace now, and in silence they walked homewards. His home lay in the same direction, though beyond hers, so it war natural they should go on together. At last she had command over herself again. She had Refused him, and Ww “I Am Sorry." ought to feel satisfied that she had had to give no reasons; but there was a dull hammer beating within her which refused to calm down. “Do you like commonplace people, Mr. Winter?” she asked suddenly. “I don’t think I ever met any,” he said. “People never seem commonplace to me. Do you like them?” “I hate them?” “Where are they to be found?” “There are two in the house I have come from now.” “But,” he said, with a smile and an effort to stand on the usual footing with her, “what commonplace things have they done today to worry youl I felt something had changed when 1 met you, but I had not enough understanding to know what it was. Will you tell me?” There was another long silence. “It is over now,” said Myra at last; “but I was living in a beautiful world that was no dream, and they spoilt it, and made me believe that I and all I—loved most in this world were common place. They did not know, or mean tc do it. I thought perhaps it was I whc was blind, and that perhaps they were right.” “Does it matter?” he said. “Yes, it matters —to me. I wonder why—perhaps see—other people so differently?” A curious light broke over the young man’s face. “Myra,” he said, almost in a whisper, “give me your book,” and he turned over the pagps quickly. “I wonder if you know these lines?" He handed the volume back, and they stood still by the park railings while she read with swimming eyes the lines he indicated: “God be thanked, the meanest of his creatures ~ Boasts two soul-sides, one to face the world with, One to show a woman when he loves her!” She shut the book, and for an instant shut her eyes too. Then he drew her hand firmly through his arm, and they turned and went back into the park.

'Last," “Come Only,” “A Cry in My House,” “A Word Near My Heart," “So Is God” and “Thanks.” These are names of children loved and longed for; but more interesting for frank ness are the names of children that are not welcome or are the fruit oi loveless marriages, such as “I For give You,” “God Gives Bad Things,*' and, most significant, “Not Love Made You.” * Might Come In Handy. “I had a happy thought a moment ago,” said the conceited young man who had lingered along until the clock had almost got through striking the big numbers. “Keep it,” replied the beautiful girl, after she had concealed a yawn. “I think you will need it in a moment.

IFITTINGMEMDRIAL Building to Perpetuate the Memory of Loyal Women. Not to Make Monument of Lifeless Stone or Bronze, but a Noble Building Full of Spirit of Tender Sympathy. Washington.—A monument to the memory of the loyal women of the civil war will become an enduring reality if congress enacts into law a joint resolution just Introduced' by Hon. Elihu Root of New York in the senate and Hon. James L. Slayden of Texas in the house. This project, which has lain dormant in the minds of the people for almost half a century, has been put into concrete form by the generosity and patriotism of the commandery of the state of New York of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. It is hot proposed to make the monument merely a remembrance of persons and deeds, not merely a memorial of lifeless stone or bronze, but a noble building full of the spirit of helpfulness, of tender sympathy, of humane and patriotic devotion that lived in the women to whom this monument will be erected. This spirit is the spirit of the Red Cross, and tor this reason the memorial is to be given to the Red Cross in perpetuity tor its headquarters in Washington. Toward the carrying out of this purpose, the commandery has pledged itself to secure and give the sum of 5300,000, on condition that congress appropriate an equal amount as a contribution of the United States toward the purchase of a suitable site in the city of Washington, the improvement of the grounds, etc. Thus the memorial will be made truly national, the* tribute of all the people to the sacred memory of the loyal women of the war. The Red Cross, on its part, Is to agree to secure an endowment Fund, the Income of which will be sufflcient, to maintain the building for all time. At the banquet of the Loyal Legion field in New York, October 4, 1911, Hon. James M. Beck, in urging the creation of this monument, gave an address from which the following tribute is quoted: “We need not fear the verdict of the future as to what we now plan to do. There are many memorials to the deathless valor of the brave men. who in the four years from 1861 to 1865 responded to the call of their country and in many cases laid down their lives for its preservation; but not less worthy of commemorative art Is the equal patriotism of the women pf America, who as truly threw their hearts into the great struggle for the Union, and who freely gave their lives it the no less dangerous posts of duty if the fever-stricken camps, which followed with the scythe of death the march of our mighty armies. , “To the mothers who gave their sons, to the wives who gave their husbands, to the sisters who gave their brothers, to the women who became nurses, to those who in the privacy of their home gave their earnings and ill the work of their hands, to one and ill, let us erect this noble memorial and t in payment of a long-deferred debt, let our memorial be more beautiful than any memorial known to, man. Let it stand for all that woman has been in American history." The resolution introduced by Mr. Root and Mr. Slayden is the first step on the part of congress toward the acceptance of this generous proposal of the Loyal Legion of New York. Appealing as the project does to all that is tender and sacred in the memories of the old and the gratitude of the young, it is believed it will receive the hearty support of a large majority of both houses of congress. TURKEY TROT UNDER BAN. The Washington “400” has decided to put the ban on the “Turkey Trot,” cigarettes for women and other frivolities and return to the staid ways of our mothers. The exhibition of “Turkey Trot” dancers smoking cigarettes while they danced at the reception given by Mrs. Robert Patterson of Chicago led Mrs. Patterson to lead in the reform. When Mrs. Patterson invited several hundred of the society elect to her Du Pont Circle home the other day there was no thought on the part of the guests, who included not only the younger set, but many of the most dignified hostesses in Washington and stately chatelaines from the diplomatic corps, that the much-talked-of dance would make its appearance. When the program was half way through some of the members of the Monday Night Dancing club pleaded tor the music for the new dances. With obvious hesitancy Countess ffileanor Giczzka, daughter of the hostess, asked the musicians to add a little speedier music f to the program. Several debutantes, with their partners, rather timidly and with childish grace began the “trot” steps. Several matrons marked their disapproval and the girls soon stopped it MARBLE TROUSERS TORN. Daniel Webster’s marble trousers have been torn by a vandal. The outrage was discovered the other day. The capitol police are trying to figure out who is responsible, but in view 3f the lack of their success in solving the mystery of the vandalism of some months ago, when a long strip was But from the historic painting of the battle of Lake Erie, they are not unduly hopeful. Mr. Webster appeared to be enjoying hist, usual good health on his pedestal in Statuary Hall when the night watch at the capitol retired to rest. But the following afternoon a capitol guide escorting a party of tourists through the hall noticed that Daniel’s trousers appeared considerably the worse for wear. Closer inspection revealed rips In his marble vest and innumerable holes in ,hts marble trousers. Local detectives say that the outrage must have been committed some time during the 1

night by a strong man armed with a stone cutter’s mallet and chisel, and the night watchmen are wondering why the racket did not woke them up. The capitol police have been having a lot of trouble of late. There is a special detail patrolling the subway nowadays on the lokout for the individual who has been writing on the white walls with charcoal some uncomplimentary references to distinguished members of the house. ’ IN THE LIST OF HONOR. Three officers and 12 privates ol the 6th cavalry have been commended in general order by Maj.-Gen. Bell, commanding the Philippines division, for gallantry and distinguished service in one of the fiercest jungle fights, with the Moros during July, 1909. These men were in charge of the major general’s detachment, and they were obliged to scale the cliffs, hauling the guns up by block and tackle, under a lively fire from the Moros not 20 yards distant from them. Others forced their way into caves, where they fought the outlaws in the dark, and several were severely wounded. In fact, these men are the survivors of a number of cavalrymen who were killed outright in the action. The list of honor consists of Capt. Archie Miller, First Lieut Arthur H. Wilson, Second Lieut. John P. Kennedy, Quar-termaster-Sergt. Joseph Henderson, Sergts. Samuel Weimer, Hurley, O. Richardson and Wm. Wendell, Corpls. Seth G. Lytchliter, Fred Mayse and Wm. A. McCoy and Privates Andrew M. Ballard, Bernard A. Harty, David C. Hudson, Mahlon McGuire M-d Archie Smith. First Lieut. Roger S. Parrott of the 3d Field Artillery, who participated in the sam-j action, joining the cavalrymen after his own gun had been disabled, also is mentioned for gallantry. < _____ CONSCIENCE FUND GROWS. The treasury department has again been reminded that there are men left who have conscience. A veteran of the war of the rebellion, name unknown, has sent a contribution of $5 to Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh, and in the unsigned letter which he sent with the bill he said: “When I was discharged from the army in 1865, I had two saddle blankets —one old, one I had picked up. So I turned over one and kept the other, which I should not have done, so I will send you $5, which I think the government is entitled to.’* The letter is signed “One of Uncle Sam’s Veterans,” and the envelope bore the postmark of an Illinois town. Several weeks ago the department received a draft for S2OO sent by a minister for a conscience-stricken veteran who appropriated a mule from the government at the close of the war. SUICIDE WAVE SWEEPS CAPITAL. Washington is in the midst of a great suicidal wave. Since March 20, the beginning of spring, there have been twelve suicides in the National Capital. This is an unusually large number for a period of but little more than two weeks, and District officials are unable to account for the abnormal rate. Physicians are at a loss to attribute the excessive number of suicides to any one cause or condition. One theory, however, has been advanced. It is that with the advent of spring there is always an unusually large number of suicides. This idea has been advanced for many years, but statistics fluctuate from year to year, so that it is impossible to base the theory on figures. It is noticeable, however, that during many years the greatest number of suicides occur in the springtime. Few Centenarians In America. German statistics show that Europe has at present more than seven thousand people who have passed one hundred years. Bulgaria heads the list with 3,888 centenarians; Roumanla and Servia follow with 1,074 and 573 respectively. Among the other nations comes Spain with 410. France, notwith standing its larger population, has only 213 centenarians. In Italy there are only 197, in Austria-Hungary 113, and in England 92, in Russia 89, in Germany, 76, in Norway 23, in Sweden 10, in Belgium 5, and in Denmark 2. A scientist in commenting upon these figures says that statistics from Amer ica and Australia are not complete, but that indications are that South America, Canada and Ausralia make a much better showing in proportion to the population than the United States, where the nervous strain tc “get rich quick” tends considerably tc shorten life.—-Harper’s Weekly. Cost of Ice Remained the Same. An enterprising old German in a Kansas town was accustomed to put up the supply of ice for the community from a nearby stream. But his stock having become exhausted before the hot weather was over, he was compelled to order the manufactured article from the city—which, of course, came at an advanced figure. Anticipating dissatisfaction, he assured his customers as he filled theli refrigerators: "It’s shust the same brlce exactly, but you don*t get so big a chunk already.” Couldn't Get Out.

NO MORE OF THAT MEDICINE Mary Haa Her Mind Made Up as to Further Doses of Unquenchable Compound. A Yonkers, N. Y., physician had a negro cook who was a chronic complainer. One day she came in groaning w'ith a misery in her side and the doctor offered to prescribe for her. He went to the dining room, poured out a spoonful of game sauce, stirred in some English mustard and sprinkled on some cayenne pepper, and handed the dose to the sufferer, telling her to take it down at one swallow. It was two weeks or more before Mary turned up with a new pain. This time it was in her other side. Her employer offered to mix her another dose of his medicine. “No sub!” said Mary, firmly. “I’m much obliged to you, doctor; but Ise done got my mind made up never agin to drink nothin’ what water won’t squench!”—Saturday Evening Post ERUPTION COVERED BODY “Three years ago this winter I had a breaking out that covered my whole body. It itched so it seemed as if I should go crazy. It first came out in little pimples on my back and spread till it covered my whole body and limbs down to my knees, also my arms down to my elbows. Where I scratched it made sores, and the terrible itching and burning kept me from sleeping. I tried several reme dies all to no purpose. Then I concluded to try the Cuticura Remedies. I used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, also the Resolvent, for about four months, and they completely cured me of eczema. I have had no return of the disease since. I never had a good night’s rest after the skin eruption first broke out till 1 commenced using the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I had only used them a few days before I could see they were beginning to heal, and the terrible Itching was gone. “Those that lived in the house at ■.he time know how I suffered, and how the Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured me. I never take a bath without using the Cuticura Soap, and I do not believe there are better remedies for any skin disease than the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.” (Signed) Miss Sarah Calkins, Waukegan, 111., Mar. 16, 1911.

Didn’t Fully Understand. A New York judge went over to Ireland recently and met the brother of “Tom” Costigan, a well known district leader in one wing of the Democracy.” The judge told “Tom’s” brother in Ireland all about what a great man “Tom” had become, about his popularity and influence, devotion to politics. The brother, instead of sharing the judge’s enthusiasm, looked anxious. “Before you go,” said “Tom’s” brother, “please satisfy me on one point. Isn’t all this attention to politics interfering with my brother’s business?" Might Not Get the Children. A young lady of ten was discussing her future with her mother. “Yes, mommie," she said, “I shall get married and I shall have four children.” “That will be nice!” commented the mother. “No!” continued the young lady after a minute or two of deep thought “Maybe I won’t have four children.
