Reggie's Love Letter
IHKCTI.Y be saw the envelop
lying on the breakfast table he
guessed whence it came. There
was an unmistakably lady-like look
about the handwriting, while the post
mark confirmed his suspicions, and the
pretty blue monogram left him no pos
sible room for doubt. M. 0. Mary
Chichester. Reginald Trevor had got
up late, his razor had been blunt, his
shaving water bad been cold, and every
thing had combined to annoy htm and
npset the placidity of hJs temper; that
dear little note with the pretty mono
gram was a magic wand that suddenly
changed tbe whole aspect of life.
Ha took up tbe letter with a thrill of
pleasurable expectation such as only
lovers can experience; he fingered It
tenderly, turning It over and over, and
admiring It from every point of view.
How delightful his name looked In the
delicate handwriting: He bad never
realized before what a pretty name It
was '"Reginald Trevor, Esq." How
daintily she turned her T's how grace
fully she formed her R's! Reggie klsed
tbe pretty blue monogram, and, al
though there was no one to see. blushed
as be did so. Kissing it gave him no
very definite sensation of pleasure, but
It seemed the correct thing to do In tbe
circumstances, for love is an exacting
divinity and demands any number of
these antiquated little ceremonies.
When In love for the fourth or fifth
time one becomes more careless about
uch trifles, but Reggie had never
well, hardly ever been In love before,
so naturally he waa anxious to comply
strictly with all the orthodox forms.
He opened the envelope very careful
ly, cutting It with a paper knife along
the top so as to leave Intact the pretty
blue monogram. Tbe letter ran as fol
lows: "Dear Mr. Trevor We are Inviting a
few friend to go with us to Henley on
Wednesday next, and It will give us
much pleasure If you will be one of
the party. I hope yon are. disengaged
and will be able to come. Yours sin
cerely, MA BY CHICHESTER."
To anyone else tbe letter would have
seemed prosaic enough, but to Reggie
there was a wealth of new meaning In
the customary "Dear," and poetry In
every word. "I hope yon are disen
gaged and will be able to come;" he
emphasized the "I" with delight, and
rapturously kissed the signature. He
bad understood that lovers usually lost
their appetites, but he waa not going to
Hollow tradition blindly, so he proceed
ed to eat his breakfast. After all one
must eat to live, and waa not life now
doubly worth living?
Before be had finished breskfast be
knew the letter by heart. This should
not have been a great strain on his
memory, but he looked at tbe note sev
eral times during the day in order to be
quite sure he remembered It correctly.
The "Yours sincerely" depressed him
a little at first; he could have wished It
had been "Yours very sincerely." Then
he reflected that be had often beard
that a girl's feelings were In inverse
ratio to the warmth of their expres
sion, eo that "Yours sincerely" obvious
ly meant more than "Yours very sin
cerely." Q. E. D.
He called on the Cblcbeaters tbe next
day and accepted the Invitation In per
son. Mary looked more charming than
ever, and be felt a glow of proud sat
isfaction as be' thought of her dear lit
tle letter nestling In his breast coat
pocket. When a man Is In love be Is an
easy prey to superstition, and Reggie
cultivated a habit of carrying the note
about with him, as If It were a species
of talisman.
Love flies fast when on golden wlngw.
and Reggie being a man of means for
tune amlled upon bis suit, so that it was
not long before he found an opportunity
of putting the momentous question.
Is It not strange how fate throws
people together and gives them that
needful opportunity? Quite by chance
mamma happens to suggest that Ed
win might like to look at the currant
bushes, or the rabbit butch, or the new
garden "roller, or anything In fact that
most people would And thoroughly un
interesting, and off be goes with An
gelina, and when they come back, look
ing dreadfully shy. and Angelina con
fesses that Edwin has told her how
much he adores her, could anyone be
more surprised than dear mamma?
But, between you and me, should tbey
come back looking dreadfully bored,
with nothing to confess but tbelr ad
miration of the currant bushes or
whatever It was tbey went out to In
spect, mamma Is more surprised still,
only she succeeds In disguising her
feelings a good deal better.
By Just such a happy chance Reggie
and Mary went out one afternoon to
look at a wonderful well that had lately
been sunk In the garden; but, oddly
enough, they got no farther than a par
ticularly shady summer-house, where
they looked Into each other's eyes In
stead, and there they made the re
markable discovery that they were
both exceedingly fond of one another.
"When did you first know you cared
f jr me?" asked Mary.
"The moment I first saw you," said
1. - boldly.
"That's not true. You first saw me
at the Fosters' ball, and you danced
nearly the whole even Lax with that tall
Miss Johnson."
Reggie could not very well deny the
imputation, but he protested vehement
ly that he oouid not Imagine hew he
had erer been so totted na to prefer tbe
ungainly Miss Johnson to tbe lovely
Miss Chichester. . .
"Anyhow." he - said. "I fell In 'lore
with you very soon afterward.",
"But now, how am I to believe you?"
"Why," he cried excitingly, recollect
ing his precious leter, "do you remem
ber the letter you wrote to me las'
Julyr
"What letter?" she asked.
''Why, surely you remember asking
me to go to Henley 7"
"I remember your coming ' wrth us
so I suppose we asked you."
- Reggie was seized with a momentary
panic lest he should have forgotten the
note In his pocket, but be drew It out
triumphantly.
"There!" he cried, kissing the not
once more, "I've carried that dear little
letter about with me ever since I got It"
He had looked forward to this mo
ment; he bad pictured the sweet won
der In her pretty eyea as she would
glance up at htm and murmur: "Oh,
Reggie, all this timer' But, to his great
consternation, she did nothing of the
kind. - On tbe contrary, directly she
saw the letter she burst out laughing.
Reggie was dismayed; such conduct
showed an utter want of proper feeling.
"Well," he said, reproachfully, "I
don't see what there is to laugh at."
Mary took the letter out of the envel
ope and laughed still more. Reggie re
niemlered how sacred that letter had
been to him, and how often he had press
ed It to his lips, and began to grow
angry at her frivolity.
"Well?" be said again.
"Why," she cried, as soon asshe
could speak for laughing, "you poor
dear boy, don't you see, this Is mam
ma's writing; her name's Mary, too."
And little Tommy Chichester, who
was out of earshot, but who had watch
ed tbe whole affair with breathless in
terest from tbe shelter of a neighbor
ing holly tree, has never understood to
this day why his sister should have
laughed so much, and bis brother-in-law
should have looked so excessively
foolish.
Provided Ag-alnt a Famlae.
When old Jacob Wllloughby died re
cently Kensington lost one of her
unique characters. Previous to the
Centennial Exposition of 1876 Mr. Wlll
oughby was seized with a fear that the
millions of visitors who were expected
in the city would deplete tbe food mar
kets of Philadelphia, and that a famine
would ensue. So firmly did be become
convinced of the truth of his predic
tion that be immediately laid In an
enormous stock of edibles, mostly can
ned goods. The cellar of his bouse whs
piled high v Ith preserves. Ktted meats,
canned vegetables and nearly eTery
other article of non-perishable fowls.
Of course the anticipated famine did
not materialize, and Mr. Wllloughby
was left with his stores on hla hands.
He might have disposed of them, but
that would have meant admitting bis
mistake, and so kept them. For twenty-three
years, according to a well-authenticated
report, he has fed bis fam
ily and his guests on the aftermath of
his centennial stock, and when com
pany came there was great rejoicing
In tbe family, for then the stuff went
faster. At the time of tbe old gentle
man's death there was still a portion of
t ft. Philadelphia Record.
HAS ALL THE MONEY HEW NT3.
Texas Man Will Tarn . His Hoalnrae
Over to Hla Employe.
A man who says he has made enougk
money for every possible want and who
boldly declares bis Intention of turning
his gigantic Interests over to his faith
ful employes who have helped him to
accumulate bis great wealth, was regis
tered at tbe Midland Hotel last night.
He Is H. J. Lurcher, of Orange. Tex.,
whose lumber operations have been the
most extensive of any single Individual
In this country.
A few months ago Mr. Lutcher left
the cares of his business and went out
with his wife and children and grandchildren-
for an outing among the re
sorts of Colorado, and his visit to Kan
sas City is incidental to his return
home. So vast Is Mr. Lutcher" g Inter
ests that he does not pretend to keep
track of tbe details and during his ab
sence his office manager entered Into
an agreement with the representatives
of the British government for the de
livery of 500.0U0.X0 feet of long leaf
yellow pine lumber without even con
sulting tbe head of the concern. The
story of this Immense contract was
printed In tbe Journal a few weeks ago
and recently Mr. Lutcher said be was
aware that such a contract bad been
made, but that be bad not been ad
vised of the price or of the details of
delivery.
Although he confesses to 62 years,
Mr. Lutcher looks much younger and.
with bis broad shoulders and robust
frame, be appears the typical Texan.
His sawmills are scattered all over the
South and be owns timber land In a
continuous line from the Gulf of Mexico
to the Red River In all about oo,0
acres.
"There is enough timber on that land
to keep six sawmills running several
generations after I am dead and gone."
said Mr. Lutcher. "and tbe value of the
timber that would be cut for this pur
pose would be In the neighborhood of
ll.ooo a day."
Tbe Lutcher mills are well known In
Texas and Louisiana and the value of
the daily product of all of them Is not
even known by their owner, who In
trusts all of hla affairs to his subordi
nate. The Interests are combined un
der the firm name of Lutcher & Moore,
but It is well understood that the senior
member of the firm owns nearly all of
the capital.
"I am a firm believer In tbe division
of profits," continued the lumlierman.
"and I have decided to give my em
ployes a share In what money the mills
make from now on. I have never seen
such a loyal and capable lot of men in
ray life as those who are attending to
my business. They are Ood's noble
men, every one of fbera. I tell you. it
Is a source of the greatest satisfaction
to a business man when he runs across
truly good men. I treaaure them and
they never lose anything by tbelr faith
ful service to me. Just as soon as I
find that a man Is capable and honest
and a good business man I put him ou
the list of those who are entitled to a
share in the business. I have two
young fellows down in Texas now that
1 am going to take care of as soon as 1
get back. Tbe greatest satisfaction I
have in life is. to bring happiness to
those about me. A year ago there was
a young man working as assistant man
ager of a mill In Louisiana at a salary
of $125 a month. I gave him an Inter
est In the business end his share of the
profits at the end of the first rear was
$18,000.
'We do a ireat deal of exporting and
have three ships plying to Mexican
ports. Our greatest export business Is
to rope. Every ship to that country,
carrying lumber has on board about
1,800,000 feet, which amounts to 800
car loads. We load at Sabine Pass,

Adrian is three years old, and a few
daya ago his father bought him his first
cap. It Is a real soldier cap, with a
sword and gun crossed In front.
"Now," said his aunt, "if Adrian is
big enough to hare a cap, be Is big
enough to 'know what to do with It."1
So she took him up In her lap and ex
plained very carefully what gentlemen
do with their hats, and bow they take
them off when they say "How do yotf
dor or "Good-by" to a lady, and she
told him he must never wear his cap
In the house. - -
At tbe conclusion of the lesson Ad
rian went out on the porch to practice
It. When Miss Nina passed he took off
his cap and said, "How dor
"Why, how do you do, little dear?"
said Miss Nina, smiling.
When mamma came up tbe street he
took off his cap, and she kissed him
and called him her precious little man.
Then be took off bis cap and bowed
to all the ladies that came along. When
he went In to eat bis dinner he took
off his cap the minute be stepped Inside
the door, but be thought It so tine that
be bad to keep It on the table while he
was eating.
That evening, when papa took hlra
out for a walk, he raised bis hat very
politely to tbe ladles on the porch when
he said good-by.
He has had his cap for two-weeks
now and he has not once forgotten
about taking It off In the bouse, and
whenever he speaks to a lady or ar
old gentleman.
I know some boys twice as old and
twice as big as Adrian who have not
yet learned that lesson In politeness. It
Is a little thing, to be sure, but It Is one
of the little things that mark the gen
tlemanly boy. Does It not pay to learr
all these little trifles well?
Eskimo Children and Thnir Wars
One might think that the queer little
Eskimo children would find life very,
very dull now that they have so little
sunshine and the weather Is so cold
away up there In nortbland. A visitor
among them assures us, however, that
they seem to be perfectly contented
in their round little huts with conical
tops and one narrow doorway.
To begin with, tbey have strange gar
ments made of sealskin, or the skins of
reindeer, bears, foxes and even dogs.
Beneath tbelr outer suits they wear
more fur clothes, with the hair turned
Inside, and stockings of dog skin or
reindeer skin. The boys and girls look
almost exactly alike, and at this time
of the year they are so bundled up
that about all you may see of them I
their eyes.
In each "Igloo," or home, a place is
set apart for tbe use of the children.
There no one may disturb them, and
after the girls have dressed tbelr dolls,
which are made of wood and clothed In
skins, story-telling time begins. Each
chlid takes a turn. When the time
comes the first story-teller takes off his
Jacket, turns his face to tbe wall and
commences. And so the play goes on
tin each has told a story.

The famous French prison known a;
the Bastile was originally the Castle
of Paris, and waa built by order of
Charles V, between 1870 and 1388, as
a defense against the English. When
It came to be used as a state prison It
was provided with vast bulwarks and
ditches. Tbe Bastile had four towers,
of five stories each, on each of Its
larger sides, and It was partly In these
towers and pertly In underground cel
lars that tbe prisoners were situated. It
wss cspable of containing seventy to
eighty prisoners, a number frequently
reached during tbe reigns of Louis XIV.
nd Louis XV, the majority of them be
ing persons of the higher ranks. - The
Bastile was destroyed by a mob on the
15th of July, 1789, and the governor
and a number of his officers were kill

There are many white soaps, each represented
to be just as good as the Ivory; they are not, but
like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable
dualities of the genuine.
Ask for Ivory Soap and insist upon getting.it.
FALLING
Save Your Hair with
Shampoos of
r SOAP
And light dressings of CUTICURA, purest of
emollient skin cures. This treatment at once
stops falling hair, removes crusts, scales, and
dandruff, soothes irritated, itching surfaces,
stimulates the hair follicles, supplies the roots
with energy and nourishment, and makes the
hair grow upon a sweet, wholesome, healthy
scalp when all else fails.
Millions of Women
Use CtrncrjRA. Soap exclusively for preserving, purifying, aud beautifying
tbe skin, for cleansing tbe scalp of crut, st-ales, and dandruff, aud the .-tupping
ot falling hair, for softening, whiteuing, and healing, red, rough, and
sore hands, in the form ot baths for annoying irritations and cliatinirs, or
too free or offensive perspiration, in the form of washes for ulcerative weak
nesses, and for many antiseptic purposes which readily suggest tln mn lves
to women, and especially mothers, and for alt the purposes of the toilet,
bath, and nursery. No amount of persuasion can induce those who have mica
used it to use any other, especially for preserving and purifying the skiu,
scalp, and hair ot infants and children. Clticura Soap combiues deli. ate
emollient properties derived from CcTtccRA,the great skin cure, w ith the
purest ot cleansing ingredients, and the most refreshing of flower odors. So
other medicated soap ever compounded is to be compared with it for pre
serving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and hands. So
other foreign or domestic toilet soap, however expensive, is to be compared
with it for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. Thus it com
