He Need Not Bo Wealthy, inth
Opinion of Marriageable
Young Chicago Women
THEY NEED NOT BE HANDSOME
f.'sro Than One Hundred Girl Were
Asked to Define the Model Husband
and All Named Love as a Requisite
No Dudes Wanted.
Chicago. Cuptd was working over
lime at the Halated Street Institu
tional Church Sunday night. The
Rev. D. D. Vaughan, the pastor, is de
termined to marry the single men and
women of his flock, ile asked more
than one hundred single women a
herles of questions on the subject of
a "model husband." Then he found
out from 100 men their Idea of the
"Ideal wife." Next he will try to get
the two ideals together.
Each one of the 100 single women,
as well as twenty-five married "girls"
who have answered the minister's
questions, says Bhe wants the man to
be the boss. None of them desires n
"dude" and only six specify "hand
some" as befitting the ideal.
Five of the women answered that
they didn't wish "model" husbands,
but "Ideal" ones, and gave their opin
ions after changing the word In their
"copy." The Rev. Mr. Vaushan smlkvl
at the first three objections. Then
two came by the next mall explaining
that "model" means "a small imitation
of the real thing," and the pastor's
apologies followed.
"Do you want him to be the head
of the house?" was the first question
propounded.
"Yes," answered 121. "No," said one.
"We will divide the honors," replied
the others.
"Do you want hira always to follow
your bidding?"
All replies were in the negative.
"Do you want him to give his time
to succeed in business or his home?"
"Let him so arrange as to make a
success of both," or words to that ef
fect, replied the 125.
"Do you care whether he loves you,
or do you really want a home?" was
the fourth question.
"He must love me, for I am able to
-ovlde a home for myself," was the
: variable reply.
"Do you prefer a business or a pro-t-ssional
man?"
The minister said he wasn't sure of
i s figures on this question, but ex
i ressed the belief that "about one
third wanted professional men, one
third preferred business men, and one
third JuBt wanted men who made a re
spectable living."
"Must he be wealthy?" was the
sixth question, and there was not an
affirmative reply in the lot.
SVEN HEDIN AWED TIBETANS.
By Venturing Upon the Waters In a
Boat with Wings.
St. Petersburg, Russia. Sven Hed
in, the explorer, who is now here en
route to Stockholm, chatting about his
travels said the English acted very II
logically In tnelr recent dealings with
Tibet. They took It and then gave it
up. The result is that China, whose
Influence and authority there have
been slack and waning for centuries.
1b now taking a firm hold again In
fact Is renewing the grip of steel !n
which the early Mauchu emperors
held the country.
Among tho main causes of HedinV
immunity from the hostility to for
eigneis which practically makes It I in
possible for others to explore Tibet
was a simple Incident which, quite un
designedly on his part, made the nu
Uvea ascribe miraculous powers lo
him. He said:
"I made several expeditions in a
boat on the great lake in the interlo
of Tibet ana there quickly spread re
markable legends throughout the
country about a foreign lama who had
power over the elements and vlnua
with which he could fly on the wa
ters. The Tibetans came to believe
that 1 commanded the weather, thanks
to my boating trips, for they had nev
er seen a boat of any kind before and
never dreamed of venturing upon the
waters of their inland seas themselves
in any way."

A Colombian General Who Wtuld Net
Fight Without Milk in Hik Coflet.
The Colombian revolution, although
so terrible In Its results, was not with
out Its humorous feature -. One of the
funniest of those was the incident of
the general who would not flight with
out his milk. Gen. Perez was In com
mand of the government troops at
Call. One day news arrived that the
liberals htij captured a neighboring
town. Perez, was ordered to start with
his army at 7 o'clock next morning to
attack th?m. He went to the barracks,
made a patriotic speech to the sol
diers, and told them to parade at the
appointed hour. Then he sauntered
into the Hotel America, Call's finest
restaurant, and ordered coITee for 6.30
In the morning.
The troops were lined up at that hour
outside the hotel, and the general
strutted to and fro, waiting for his cof
fee and telling everybody what terri
ble things he was going to do, to the
enemy. But a complication arose.
Perez had not been a general long,
but he wanted milk In hlB coffee,
whereas nine Colombians out of ten
are content with black coffee. There
was no milk. The cows are kept three
or rour Hours Journey out of town,
and, of course, milk cannot be kent
over night In that tropical climate.
Tho hotel folk figured that the milk
could not arrive before 11 o'clock.
The general fumed and fretted.
Some of hli officers suggested he had
better start without the milk, or th
enemy would escape; but he said It
was Impossible to fight on black cof
fee. He sent a soldier post haste to
fetch the milk, and then nnothor after
him to hurry him up. Meanwhile the
army stood In the broiling sun for
hours, awaiting the order to march. It
was nearly noon when the messengers
reiurnet.
"No milk," they reported.
"Caramba! Then I won't march till
to-morrow."
And the general dismissed his men
and would not go until next morning
after his cafe du lait. Of course, when
he reached his destination the lib
erals had flown, and he was denrivpil
of his glorious victory by a miserable
spoonful of milk. World's Work.
The Chamberlain Clock.
Recently erected at the corner of
Vyse street and Warstone Lane. Rir-
mingham, England, Is the lateit trib
ute of his fellow-townsmen to .Tosonh
Chamberlain. The clock shown in the'
accompanying illustration stands 28
feet high and has four dials. It is In
tended to 3tand In commemoration of
the services to the empire of the ex.
Colonial Secretary in connection with
his work In South Africa during
and after the war. The subserlntlnn
for the clock were collected entirely
among the workingmen of Birming
ham, to whom Mr. 'Chamberlain of Rir.
mingham himself a large employer of

The occasion of the startine of th
clock was made one of Importance,
an immense meeting beine held In
the Birmingham Town Hall, at which
speeches were delivered by represen
tatives of the workingmen of the town
as well as a number of prominent
citizens. Mr. Chamberlain'3 services
to his country and to his native town
were lauded, and he was assured of
the continued support of his neigh
bors in his new political programme.
in reply, the ex-Secretarv. after ex.
pressing his thank3 for the honor
which had been done him. went intn
a discussion of the causes and the
outcome of the war In South Africa.
He assured his hearers that at all
times, both before and during the
struggle, ne had realized the gravity
of the undertaking, and vehemently
denied that he had entered upon the
war witn a light heart, as hart heen
asserted by some among his political
opponents.

MAKES HERJOT US MAN
Maude Allen, Young Mulatto Posing
For Eight Years as Boy, Gradu
ates and Is Made Teacher.
Baltimore, Md. After masquerad
ing as a young mnn for eight years
because she. believed it would give
her better chances for advancement In
the world, Maude Allen, alius "James
Allen," a bright young mulatto wom
an, has been arrested for wearing
mule attire. As a girl In her teens she
passed at the head of her class In a
boys' high school, and as a young
woman In trousers she became a
teacher In the public schools of Balti
more. Maude, or James, is now twenty-four
and first donned man's attire when
she was sixteen. She says: "On en
tering the Baltimore Colored High
School the thought occurred to me
that I might make a big success In
life as a man. I know that a woman
of my race has not much chance, so
with due thought I shaved my head
and bought an entire outfit ot men's
clothes. We were then living In an
other part of town, so, with my
grandmother, who was the only one
who knew my secret, we moved to
the house in which we now live.
"I got through the school in three
years, graduating at the head of my
class. I was appointed a teacher at a
Brooklyn school and several months
ago transferred to School No. 106, in
this city. I see no reason as to why
I should not be allowed to dress as I
please. I am surely not different from
the majority of other members of my
race. I should not be hampered."
Never once was the sex of tho
young "man," who daily sat at tho
desk in a public school, suspected. She
was an active worker in Ebenezer
Baptist Church and taught a Sunday
school eluHB. This was the only
chance for her to mix with men, as
she kept completely aloof from the
negroes of the neighborhood In which
she lived, going to her home immedi
ately after school and remaining in
the company of her grandmother.
When seen at her home to-day she
was dressed in a natty suit of blue
serge. Tall of stature, she would
easily be 'mistaken for a youth of
twenty. She also possessed a rather
heavy beard.
A short time ago the woman was
taken ill and entered the Maryland
General Hospital, where It was dis
covered that she was not a man. The
police yesterday went to the hospital
and placed the woman under arrest.
She paid $50 .Ine and costs and was
given twenty-four hours in which to
change to feminine apparel.
MAN AND HAWK BATTLE.
Venturesome Person Torn at Bottom
' of 90-Foot Pit.
Nutley, N. J. Hawk battled with
man at the bottom of a pit, ninety
feet below the surface of the ground,
in Nutley, and though the man won
he will carry his right hand in a sling
for many days, as the hawk's bill tore
it deeply in a dozen places. And the
hawk was only a chicken hawk at
that.
Charles W. Barker, of Passaic ave
nue, saw three of the airy fowl fan
ciers hovering over the chicken yards
of Emll Schneider. He shouted to
Schneider, who got his gun and fired,
wounding one of the hawks. That
bird fell into an abandoned stone
quarry.
"Lower mo on a rope and I'll get
him," volunteered Barker. Down he
went ninety feet and reached for the
wounded hawk. There was a beating
of wings, a clutching by sharp-pointed
talons and the men above heard Bark
er yell In pain. But he threw himself
bodily pon the savage bird and got
a strange hold on it. After he and his
captiv- were hoisted up the hawk was
measured. It spanned four feet from
tip to tip of wings. Barker Is suffer
ing severely and there Is fear of blood
poisoning.
IDENTIFY HER BY TICKLING.
Refused to Show Gold Tooth and so
Detectives Made Her Laugh.
Philadelphia. Pa. Tickllne as n
means of identification is an Innova
tion of the local detective deDartment
tried this morning. A seventeen-year-
old girl, giving her name as Annie
Brown, had been arrested on the
charge of being a daring boarding
house thief. Detective Tucker had a
warrant from Allentown for a runa
way girl. The warrant gave as the
prime mark for Identification the fact
that she had a curious gold tooth.
Tucker frowned upon the srlrl. "Onen
your mouth," be commanded. She re-
rusea, and even resisted successfully
efforts to pry her mouth opon. Then
Tucker reached forward and tickled
the girl on the neck. Others did like
wise, and tickling her on the neck be
came a copied diversion. Finally she
could stand It no more and burst out
laughing. Then it was seen that she
h'd a gold tooth. She is held as an
Incorrigible girl.
Women Hard to Cure by Hypnotism.
Washington, D. C Women who are
addicted to an Immoderate use of In
toxicants are less susceptible 'than
mtn to treatment of hypno-suggestlon,
according to the view expressed to
night by Dr. J. D, Quackenbos, of New
York City, at the meeting of the
American Society for the Study of Al
cohol and Other Narcotic Drugs. The
statement of Dr. Quackenbos that he
nad permanently cured more than
eight hundred patients by the method
of hypno-suggestlon after the subjects
had become asleep through the use of
a drug aroused vigorous protests from
everal leading scientists, who chal.
tanged Its accuracy.
