M?uv good offices have fallen to
tlie lr»4 of Che United* States .coast
guard cuter .McCulloch, which) first
won reputation,- the year after her
building whea -ehg tooJi part in
tao battle of Manilla, andi became
known as "I>ewey"s aispatatu twat.''
On me long cruis§ of AlasJfcan
waters from which she faasi just re
turned, she added to hgr long list
of services by her rescue of the
crt*\v of the Borden-lianel eKpedi
tiou ship Great Bear in. August.
Captain B. L>. Reed, told Thurs
day afternoon, another opportunity
for service with which; the McCul
loch met on her long patrol. In
Juuq she went out to the tipi c»f the
Aleutian Islands, and found the na
tive ol the little villages which
arc strewu about the islands at
the point of starvation.
"These native®," saidi Cajxt. R€ed,
"ara dependent wholly upon,, their
winter's catch, of fur for their
comfort through the rest of • the
year. Nome o£ the villages has
more than hundred families, and
somvj have as few as thirty, in one
of these smaller village^ we found
practoially »every 'family at me
starving poini, and wq furnished
each t-iruily -witjiu a barrel of tlour
out of the government supply.
"White meai U6?d to go ug and
exploit those people. They do very
beautiful basket-work and weaving,
which the}- formerly used to pass

though you can buy articles from
them for a tenth, of -what you'would

The Wrong Place.
During the rush hour a middle aged
woman entered a subway car accom
panied by her eighteen-year old daugh
ter. Both mother uud daughter were
forced to stand for awhile opposite a
row of men busily Intent on chewing
gum.
"Virginia," said the matron with cut
ting emphasis and loud enough for the
men to hear, "judging from appear
ances we have made a mistake. This
is presumably the dining car of a chew

No wonder that a flustered citizen
began reading his evening paper up
side down.—New York Times.
Persia's City of Ccrpses.
The city of Kuui, in Persia, has long
had a reputation as a city of corpses.
There are said to be more illustrious
dead buried in Kum than in any other
Persian city except Mesbad. One of
the few women honored hi the coun
try of the shah has a maguiflcent
shrine erected here— Fatlma, sister of
Imam Riza. Eleven buudred years
ago she was laid to rest in Kum, and
everybody who is anybody In Persia
still desires sepulture beside her.-Lon

"My back was so Bore and painful
that it I wanted to take up any

THE CLOWN'S FACE.
Pathetic Incident From Which the Use
of B!«ck Lines Coins.
"One of the kith test tragedies of
the theater." said a prominent come
dlan, "is connectcd with tiie clown.
"In the time of Louis XrV'. there
was a famous down known as Tat
William' (Gruy Giiilluiime). who held
his audience in the Hue Favari by his
wonderful eccentricities of gesture,
voice and mimicry. One n!;Jit. so the
legend runs, his wife >vas dying, mid
be was still obliged to go 0:1 and en
tertain the clanking, clashing, ribald
Parisian inoli that stood in the pit It
was In the days before there were
seats in the or. hestra.
"Like all imitator:; of the Italian
'commedia.' li's face was whitened
with flour, l.'nder the burden of his
great domestic sorrow he was stupid
and slow in his 1 crformance, and in
order to stir him up bis companion
on the stage hit him a resounding
whack wilh a heavy cane. The com
bination of his sentimental troubles
and the physl'-al pain caused Gros
Guillaume to weep. As the tears
streamed down over his whitened face
the aspect was so comical that the au
dience cheered and laughed itself into
hysterics. And ever siuce then every
clown has black Ihies on his whitened
face.
"Many are the bl.-n-k lines on the
face of the actor that the ntidience
knows not of."-Chicago Tribune.
Cariyle Declined the Honor.
Among the many distinguished men
who have refused honors was Thomas
Cariyle. Disraeli ofieivd hiiu in the
queen's name the Grand Cross of the
Bath, "a dlstlnith.-n," writes Froude.
"never before conferred upon any Eng
lish author, with a life income corre
sponding to such rank." Cariyle de
clined the honor, but be was deeply
touched by the compliment, the more
so as he had frequently attacked Dis
raeli In his writings. Most readers will
probably agree with the verdict of the
Chelsea bus conductor who said to
Froude: "Very proper of the queen to
offer it and more proj>er of him to say
that he would have nothing to do with
It 'Tisn't they who can do honor to
the likes of he."—London Standard.
Over the Bridge of Sighs.
Nine times out of ten It is over the
Bridge of Sighs that we pass I he nar
row gulf from youth to mauhood.
That interval Is usually occupied by
an ill placed or disappointed affection.
We recover and we find ourselves new
beings. The intellect has become hard
ened by the Are through which it has
passed. The mind prolits by the wracks
of every passion, and we may measure
our road to wisdom by the sorrows we
have undergone.—Bui wefLytton.
Inconsistent Doctor.
"Why are you so sore at Dr. Jones?"
"The old hypocrite charged me $10
for advising me to confine myself to a
diet of crackers and milk, and the very
nest evening 1 saw him in a restau
rant blowing in my ten on lobsters
and trimmings."-St. Louis Post-Dis
patch.
Islam and Dancing.
Mohammedanism forbids dancing,
and it is only by special permission
that the master of a house Is released
from this law. for. according to the
Koran, this form of amusement is not
one of the pleasures permitted in para
dise.
Opinions.
"A man may change his opinions."
"Yes," replied Miss Cayenne, "but a
man who changes them too often need
not have troubled himself to have any
in the first place."—Washington Star.
Precaution.
"I am no sentimentalist. I am a
man of deeds and few words. Will
yon marry me, Mabel?"
"First let me have a look at the
deeds."-Baltimore American.
