It Is promised for tlie Pan-American
Exposition tliat it will surpass in beau
ty any previous exposition in the
world's history. It is also expected
that it will outrival its predecessors in
many other ways, tor at no time have
such wondrous achievements in all
arts, such perfection in the hundreds
of trades, been attuined. Hut the pur
pose of this article is to treat, in a gen
eral way, of the plan of the Exposi
tion, the symmetry of arrangement
and the exterior beauty that repre
sents the careful expenditure of several
millions of dollars. Accompanying this
article is a birdseye view of the Expo
sition plot, showing the magnificent
work in its complete state. The view
Is from the south and shows an area
one mile and a quarter long and half
a mile wide, there being 350 acres in
the lnelosure. In the immediate fore
ground is a portion of Delaware Park,
one of the famous beauty spots of Buf
falo. The view shows the Park Lake,
with the North Bay at the left, and in
the left foreground, south of the bay,
may be seen a portion of the Albright
Gallery of Art, a beautiful permanent
building of white marble, the gift of
John J. Albright of Buffalo, and cost
ing over $400,000. North of the Bay is
the New York State Building, also a
permanent structure of marble. These
two buildings are in the style of Greek
temples, one containing reminders of
the Parthenon and the other resem
bling somewhat the Ereehtheuin upon
the Acropolis at Athens.
Between the North Bay and the Lake
the City of Buffalo has built at large
expense a new and beautiful bridge of
heavy masonry, known as the Bridge
of the Three Americas. This bridge
carries the broad thoroughfare which
leads from the main southern entrance
to the approaches of the Exposition, as
se«n in the foreground just north of the
Lake. On the northern shore of the
tLake Is situated the life saving station
erected by the Federal Government
where daily exhibitions will be given
by a crew of ten men showing the uses
of modern life saving apparatus as em
ployed upon our coasts. Hidden from
view, npon the southern bank of the
3L.ake, a beautiful casino and boathouse
has also been built by the City of Buf
falo for Exposition uses.
The symmetrical grouping of build
ings will be at once noted by the ob
server. Beginning at the formal ap
proach, just north of the Lake, the eye
follows northward between two rows
of ornamental columns to what is
known as the Forecourt. East of this
are the State and Foreign buildings,
forming in themselves a very interest
ing feature of the Exposition. Near
these also are the buildings for the spe
cial ordnance displays representing the
products of several hundred manufac
tories in tills line of work. West of the
Forecourt will be the outdoor horticul
tural displays and the Women's build
ing. We cross now the Triumphal
Bridge, which will be remarkable for
its tall piers, richly ornamented with
statuary, the product of the genius of
Karl Bitter, the director of sculpture, 1
and other famous sculptors. On either
eide are the Mirror Lakes which form
a part of the Grand Canal, more than a
mile in length, which surrounds the
main group of buildings.
We come next to the Esplanade, i
.which is nearly two-fifths of a mile
long and 450 feet wide. The western
end of the Esplanade is inclosed by the
Horticulture. Graphic Arts and Mines
buildings. The eastern end is shut in
by the Government group of three
large buildings. Sunken gardens with
elaborate fountains and many groups
of sculpture occupy the two arms of
the Esplanade, and the decorative fea
tures throughout this broad space are
,very numerous and beautiful. North
of the Esplanade is the Court of Foun
tains, with the Ethnology building on
the right and the Music building on
the left. Two subordinate courts also
, open Into the Esplanade from the
north, the one on the right being
known as the Court of Cypresses and
the one on the left as the Court of
Lilies. Next, north of the Fthnology
building on the right and fronting upon
the Court of Fountains, is the Manu
factures and Liberal Arts building and
on the opposite side the Machinery and !
Transportation building. In the Court
of Fountains Is a large pool, having an 1
area of about two acres and contain- I
lng many beautiful fountains. Pro- !
ceeding again northward we come to !
the Mall, a broad avenue, half a mile
long, extending from the eastern
boundary to the western gate of the Ex- 1
position. Fronting upon the Mall on
the right is the Agriculture building
and on the left the Electricity building.
.We now arrive at the most conspicuous
feature of the Exposition, the massive
Electric Tower, 31)1 feet In height
This tower stands oetweeu tne
of Fountains and the Flaza, in a
broad poo/, about two acres in extent. ;
This will be the most ornamental j
feature of the great Exposition and j
will be the centerpiece for special and
elaborate electrical Illumination, loi- i
mediately north of the Electric Tower
is the Plaza, with its beautiful sunken
garden aud bandstand in the center,
the Fropylaea or monumental en
trances at the north, the entrance to
the Stadium on the east and the en- i
trance to the Midway on the west.
" It should he understood by every In
tending visitor that the Exposition will
present the most beautiful spectacle
that twentieth century genius can pro
vide. By day there will be a most
pleasing display of floral and fountain
effects. The many buildings, with their
elaborate and delicate tracery of orna
mental plastic work aud their radiance
of color, the many groups of statuary
In eveiy part of the grounds, will con
stitute a picture never before parallel
ed. At night all the buildings will glow
with the soft radiance of thousands of
electric lights, making a scene of un
rivaled brilliance and splendor. Half
a million lamps will be used in the
electrical illumination.
It should also be added that the Mid- i
way at the Exposition will be the most
extensive and novel that has ever been
prepared. It will be 3,000 feet long,
having more than a mile of frontage.
Over 30 very interesting features, many
®f them covering several acres, will
make up this gigantic collection of
wonders.
The athletic features of the Exposi- |
Hon will be shown in the Stadium, j
which covers about ten acres of ground
and contains a seating capacity for
more than 12.<;C0 people. All of the
exhibit buildings will lie filled to com
pletion with the very latest products

A new feature of much interest has
been added to the delights Fan Ameri
ca:) crowds will have when they visit
Niagara Falls io view the scenic and
Industrial attractions there. In that
favored spot there is already developed
more power than is used in many of
the large lilies, but to this developed
force must lie ad led 30.000 horsepower
that is to bp developed by means of
six uew turbines and six new gener
ators. the contracts for which have
been awarded. These new turbines
are to b_' installed in the new wheel
pit now in course of construction. The
design of the new turbines will differ
materially from the design of those
now in use in the present wheel pit.
This change is significant of the fact
that the Niagara Falls Power com
pany intends that the installation in
its uew plant shall be up to the highest
state of perfection known iu this open
ing year of the century. It is t.his
knowledge that at Niagara the most
modern, the most perfect working pow
er development in the world, may be
seen that will inspire visitors to the
Exposition togo there and look upon
the wonders that man has wrought.
Each of the six uew turbines will
have a ctpacify of 5,000 horsepower,
and each will be connected to and
drive a 5.000 horsepower generator.
The turbines now in use were designed
by Pieeard, Pictet & Co. of Geneva,
Switzerland, while the new turbines
are to be built after designs prepared
by Esclier. Wyss & Co. of Zurich,
Switzerland, the plans of which com
pany were accepted In a competition.
The turbines in the old pit each have
two wheels, while the new turbines
are each to have but a single wheel.
With these new turbines in place
In the wheel pit. the output capacity
of the Niagara Fails Power company
will be 80.000 horsepower. There will
be space in the new pit for live addi
tional turbines, each of 5.000 horse
power capacity, and with these in
place the total output of the two pHs
will be 105,000 horsepower.

ARMY REORGANIZATION
RadicaJ Changes Will Be Made
In the Service.
MANY PEOBLEMB TO BE MASTERED.
Not Only Will an Kntirely New Kle
nient Be Introduced, Itnt It Will
Include I'oiiik, Well Trained Vol
unteer Ofneem—Kt-fcular Army Men

A competent military critic who has
carefully studied the new army reor
ganization act declares In the Washing
ton Star that it will subject the regu
lar military establishment to greater
and more radical changes than have
ever occurred at any one time in its
history. He asserts that not only does
It Involve more careful and intricate
labor on the part of the war depart
ment officials than the reorganizations
of 18G0 and 1800, but promises, espe
cially as regards the lower grades, to
resuit In a more general rearrangement
of the personnel of the army. Aside
from all this, however, he claims to
voice the general sentiment of the ar
my In stating that, apart from some mi
nor details affecting the status of a
few particular classes of officers, the
new law Is most satisfactory as a
whole and will result in unmeasured
good to the military service both with
respect to general efficiency and specif
ic individual advantage.
Under it he states that the regular
army will at last be organized on the
lines recommended aud urged by mili
tary authorities for the past 25 years
and promises that degree of elasticity
which would be ecfual to meeting the
emergency for a quickly required army
pending the naturally tardy work of or
ganizing and equipping volunteers.
Speaking of the proposed changes in
general, he declares that they involve
not only the Introduction of a large, en
tirely new element Into the regular
service, but provides for the fortunate
selection at this time of that new ele
ment from the experienced aud well
trained younger officers of volunteers.
In this respect the regular army Is de
lighted. As a rule in times past en
largements or curtailments of the regu
lar establishment have worked grave
injustices to veterans who, having no
political backing and relying upon mil
itary service alone, have been Jumped
and overslaughed by younger men.
This was especially so in 1800, when
volunteers 20 years of age were ap
pointed colonels over men who had
graduated from West Point in the for
ties.
But it is not so now. While provid
ing openings In the regular army fo r
aspiring young volunteers, the regular
officer already in the service will be
carefully guarded In his rights.
Nevertheless it will cause extensive
derangement of the personnel of regi
ments and will In a great measure tend
to upset that regimental esprit which
prompts officers to espouse the respec
tive regimental claims of particular
achievements and traditions. This con
dition relates exclusively to the line of
the army. The personnel of the staff
will not be materially affected. Inas
much as the additions to the staff be
ing all at the bottom will enable the
older set to be advanced each in bis
own corps or department, wherein each
may cling to that esprit of corps which
all are wont to maintain and cherish.
Of course so far as the three arms of
cavalry, artillery and Infantry are con
cerned they will remain separate and
intact, unmixed with each other as In
1800, and the votaries of each may still
contend and banter with each other
over alleged special merit and useful
ness. But on the creation of new regi
ments, the doubling of the cavalry
strength, the one-third Increase of the
artillery and the one-fifth increase of
Infantry the changes in the personnel
of regimental organization must neces
sarily be very decided.
For example, of the 1,900 line officers
of all grades on the army list of today
860 will be promoted by the new law.
Of the total 409 officers of cavalry 270
will be promoted, of the 349 artillery
officers 250 will be advanced, and the
same will be true of 340 of the 1,147
officers of infantry. As far as prac
ticable promoted officers will be assign
ed to their old regiments, but naturally
obstacles to this plan will arise by
reason of the scattered distant stations
of officers, and besides it may be de
cided to make a general redistribution
of regimental officers so as to preserve
a system of equalized rank and ex
perience In both old and new organiza
tions. Officers who desire especially to
waive advantages of regimental status
and to remain with old regiments in
whose service they have long shared
will doubtless be gratified, but all in all
the wholesale promotions bid fare to
cause a general upheaval of regimental
personnel.
Some Idea of the extensive changes
likely to occur In this regard may be
had from the statement that over 2,500
new commissions must issue, one-half
of which will be for appointments from
the volunteer force and civil life to the
920 vacancies of nrst ana second lieu
tenants of the line and 288 available
vacancies of first lieutenants, captains
and majors of staff, not Including the
200 two year service volunteer sur
geons and assistant surgeons, the 24
retained volunteer quartermasters, the
80 dental surgeons and the veterina
rians provided for. The vacancies to
be caused by promotions and retire
ments and appointments to 15 brlga
dierships will create new places to be
added to those for which original ap
po'ntments of volunteers may be made,
excepting of course the number of va
cancies to be reserved for the annual
promotion of meritorious noncommis
sioned officers of the regular army and
for this year's graduating class of
West Pointers. The civilian aspirant,
though he be handicapped by the pref
erence to be given to volunteer officers,
will not be debarred altogether, as
aside from all considerations the presi
dent is vested with full discretion to
proceed according to merit and fitness
of applicants.
President McKlnley will sign in the
neighborhood of 3,000 new commis
sions, Including the new commissions
of commanding generals and all the 21
general officers excepting the two pres
ent major generals. Indeed, not only
will all the generals, nearly all the ;
colonels and lieutenant colonels and a
majority of the majors within the next j
year or two bear commissions signed
by President McKlnley, but a large
percentage of the entire army before j
March 4, 1905, will hold their authority
by his "trust and confidence" in their
"patriotism, valor, fidelity and ability." |

Never before iu the history of the
regular army has any one administra
tion had so much directly to do with
its personnel, and never before in the
history of modern armies has a nation
al war office had thrown upon it so
much technical labor to be performed
within such a limited, brief period.
Nearly all the officers of cavalry and
Infantry and many of the artillery offi
cers who are to be promoted and as
signed to new regiments, as well as the
great bulk of those who are to be pro
moted iu and transferred to and from
the old regiments, are in the Philip
pines, Cuba and Porto Rico. They are
all more or less remotely separated
Into minor garrisons, and the greatest
care will be required to secure expedi
tion and avoid confusion and error.
Then, apaiu, the enlisted men for the
new regiments must be quickly enroll
ed throughout the United States, as
signed, uniformed and organized, un
der command of a sufficient number
of officers, who must be somehow
found In this country to take charge
of and conduct the newly formed regi
ments to the Philippines. All in all,
it is a heavy task, especially for the
adjutant general's and quartermaster's
departments, but so thorough is the
understanding of all requirements and
so perfect the system of procedure by
skilled officials no one doubts the final
successful accomplishment of the
work.
While the new army bill will make
a bonanza of quick promotions for the
younger set, such as has never before
occurred in quasi peace times, the older
set will not derive near as much im
mediate benefit. In the lino of the
army, for example, of the 800 promo
tions only 15 will tie of lieutenant colo
nels, 30 of majors and but 75 of senior
captains. The promotion of 15 colo
nels to the grade of brigadier general
and a jtossible five additional promo
tions and retirements of colonels will
make a total of 140 field officers and
senior captains of cavalry, artillery
and infantry, a total of 140 as com
pared with about 700 promotions of
subalterns. In the several grades of
the staff department the promotions
will be much less than generally imag
ined, making a total of 220, Including
8 lieutenant colonels, 19 majors, 38
captains and 155 first lieutenants. The
adjutant general's department will
have but one promotion of a major
to lieutenant colonel under the new
law and the inspector general's de
partment but one promotion to colonel
and two to lieutenant colonel, but the
former will have an Increase in the
lower grade of 11 officers and the latter
an Increase of 7.
These figures, both for line and staff,
show greater advantages and benefits
for the younger set, but the new law
holds out to the older and higher grad
ed officers much greater hope for fu
ture advancement than to the younger
class, whose time for stagnation of
promotion Is sure to come.

CmMnde Aiiiiinnt the I'lUow.
Is it better to sleep with the head
high or low? This is a question which
manufacturers of bedclothes apparent
ly answered long ago by announcing
authoritatively that no one in his
senses would think of lying down to
sleep unless he had a pillow and a
bolster under his head. Now, how
ever, a French scientist comes forward
and says that any one who rests his
head on a pillow and bolster while he
is sleeping is slowly but surely com
mitting suicide. This scientist is M.
A. Feret, and it was at the recent meet
iug of the French Society of Hygiene
that he expressed his heterodox views
ou the subject.
According to M. Feret, the only
natural position for man while sleep
ing is the horizontal one, and the first
thing to do in order to accustom one
self to it is to remove the bolster.
Within a few months, he says, one will
be able to sleep much more calmly
thau ever before and, moreover, the
general health will be much improved.
"This statement," he insists, "is not
made lightly, but Is the result of long
experience."
The next step, he says, is to remove
the pillow, for not until then will the
circulation of the blood be as free as it
should be.
Iu further explanation he says that
the pillow and bolster keep the head
and neck at an abnormal angle, and
that consequently the sleeper's entire
body remains during the night iu an
uncomfortable position and one which
impedes the free course of the blood
through the vessels and organs. The
only remedy, he maintains, is to adopt
a horizontal position, since by it alone
is absolute rest guaranteed, and this
rest is due to the fact that iu such a
position the ligaments of the neck are
not strained or distorted, the luugs eas
ily perform their proper work and the
heart beats regularly.
BETTER PASSPORTS.
More Protection For American Cltl
•eni of Fort-lgu Birth.
The department of state has adopted
a new policy in issuing passports to
American citizens of foreign birth
which, it is believed, will result iu pre
venting some of the arrests of those
who now return to the country of tbeli
origin, says the Washington Star.
1 Heretofore it has been the practice to
1 grant passports to all Americans who
: proved their citizenship and allow
them togo wherever they choso with
out any warning as to the risks they
j might run, but it has been found that
I many people of foreign birth suppose
| that the mere acquisition of American
I citizenship and the security of an
! American passport render them im
j muhe from the operation of the laws or
| regulations of the country of which
! they were formerly subjects or citizens
j If they return. Such Is, however, very
I far from being the case.
| In all countries a person who secures
, naturalization In another country is
\ still liable to punishment upon his re
turn for au offense committed before
his emigration, and in some countries
emigration and naturalization without
permission are themselves offenses.
The department has taken a very
simple way of preventing Americans
from unwittingly running into danger
by preparing a series of notices which
It now sends to all applicants for pass
ports of foreign birth. Each applicant
receives one of these notices with his
passport. It is brief and simply writ
ten and tells him in a way that any one
can comprehend just what the laws
and regulations are that may affect
him. As the notices relate to the pol
icy of foreign countries they are not
official, but they are believed to be cor
rect and have been compiled with
great care in the department after con
sultation with our ministers abroad.
The notices for Germany, Prance and
Switzerland are being regularly issued,
and those for other countries of Eu
rope and Asia are now being printed.
There is intended to be no departure
from the attitude of dissent of this gov
ernment from the policy of certain for
eign countries in their treatment of
their former subjects or citizens, and
the department has from abundance of
caution so Instructed American diplo
matic agents abroad.
Lumber Supply Neurliig Its End.
The American Lumberman publishes
Borne figures which should stir con
gress and state legislatures to prompt
action touching the preservation of
American forests. They ought also to
move owners of forest lands to consid
er whether self interest would not re
quire them to take steps to prevent the
destruction of their industry.
In 1890 the states of Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota produced 8,. r >97.-
000,000 feet of pine lumber. Since then
the product has steadily declined and
in 1900 was but 5,455,2G1,000 feet. Dur
ing the last two years prices of lumber
have been high, and there has been ev
ery inducement for the mills to turr.
out a heavy product. Every resource
has been strained, but without avail.
The trees could not be found. The end
©f the white pine Industry of the north
west is almost at hand. The years of
Its greatness are already passed.
While the destruction of the forests
In the states named has perhaps been

of the proximity to markets and favor
able shipping facilities, all forest sec
tions of the country are suffering irrep
arably from the woodman's ax. Chief

data obtainable, estimates the total

States at 1,380,000,000,000 feet. In 1890
the cut was about 25.000.000.000 feet,
and since that time it has steadily in
creased throughout the country at
large, though decreased In some sec
tions by reason of the practical ex
haustion of the supply.
At the present rate of consumption
the available supply will last not to
exceed 50 years and perhaps not so
long as that. The present generation is
likely to feel the pinch of scarcity.
Aside from the meteorological influ
ences of land denudation and its effect
upon the water courses there is shame
ful waste of natural wealth which is
Justly a part of the heritage of coming
generations. The preservation of the
yet remaining forests is one of the
most important matters to whicli legis

their wisdom and energy.
protecting American Dairy Interests.
The Dolllver amendment to the agri
cultural appropriation bill adopted by
the senate takes a commendable step
toward preserving the foreign markets
for American dairymen. Senator Dol-
Uver's proposition is for a rigid inspec
tion of all dairy products intended for
export. Its purpose is to prevent but-,
ter imitations from being shipped
abroad as genuine butter, only to be re
jected after trial and test by the for
eign consumer. One of the most ur
gent complaints against the present
practice of the makers and exporters
of butter Imitations is that they do not
hesitate to ship their goods abroad in
the name of the genuine dairy product,
thus depreciating the value of the lat
ter in the foreign market. By the use
of a double export pail cover and other
cunning devices the makers of artifi
cial products have been enabled to
avoid detection as the goods are being
sent abroad. Under a proper system
of government inspection it ought to be
impossible to send out of the country
any article of an artificial nature brand
ed as natural, and it ought, further
more, to be possible to prevent such
adulterations as will eventually de
stroy the foreign market for all classes
of goods, whether pure or not. which
fall in the least degree under suspicion.
It is hard enough to capture the for
eign market at best and more difficult
still to hold It in the face of the oppo
sition of foreign governments without
the handicap of fraudulent practices
which serve to destroy confidence
abroad iu the integrity of American
products.

WOMAN AND HOME.
A REAL DAUGHTEK OF THE AMERICAN
REVOLUTION.
How She I,oat a 'l'lxiiiiaiiil—The Care
of Food—Treatment of Meaalea—Aa
One of the Family The Love of
Jewels.
There are those living today who cau
look back to the time when at a father's
knee they listrtied to the thrilling expe
riences of the stirring times of the Rev
olution as told by the actual participa
tors in the struggle. The number of these
is, of course, exceedingly small, scattered
over different parts of the United States.
Two are residents of the state of Wis
consin.
The first of these two original daugh
ters of the Revolution, Mrs. Jane A.
Walker of Waupun, Wis., was born at
Ferrisburg, Vt., Aug. 31, 1810. She is
the daughter of John Powers, whose
name appears upon the muster roll in
both the battles of Lexington and Bunker
Hill. He was 27 years old when he an
swered his country's call iu 1776, and he
faithfully bore arms until the war was
ended.
Mrs. Walker tells many interesting in
cidents of her father's experiences. She
MRS. JANE A. WALKER.
said: "I have often heard my father tell
of the battle they fought at Bunker Hill,
what a fierce struggle it was and how
their ammunition gave out and they had
to fall back. But they were not whipped.
History tells of this battle that the Amer
icans were told not to fire until they could
6ee the whites of the eyes of the British."
On her mother's side also Mrs. Walker
has a remarkable Revolutionary ances
try, her mother's father having been one
of the famous minutemen of the Revolu
tion. She says she has often heard her
mother tell of how, a child of 8 years,
she had to plow while her father was
away at the war.
Mrs. Walker is one of a family of 16
children and the only survivor. She pos
sesses great activity both of body and
mind, is interested in all the questions of
the day, reads the papers and is an active
and devoted church member. She is quite
an adept in the art of embroidery. At
the age of 80 she began to make colored
embroidery on linen, and since that time
6he has completed over 100 pieces, one of
which she presented to the local chapter
D. A. R. of Port Atkinson, Wis., of
which she is a member, and it is highly
prized by the society.
Mrs. Walker has resided upon her farm
near the limits of the city of Waupun for
over 50 years. Soon after its purchase
she was left a widow with six small chil
dren, all of whom she brought to wo
manhood and manhood. Four of the six
are living today—one, a daughter, re
sides in Canada. Two sons, Charles and
Gideon Walker, live at Waupun.—Chica

"I've just lost a thousand dollars," said
the girl with the pensive face casually.
"Well, it's hard to keep track of such a
small sum in one's purse," was the re
joinder the sarcastic young woman in the
Morris chair made.
The pensive girl's nose wrinkled in dis
dain. "It was this way," she explained:
"I was coming home with one of the lat
est novels my friend on the North Side
had lent me. The book I carried was
brand new, and I was going through a
department 6tore and happened to stop
and look at some books in the book de
partment. It was then I thought of it.
They are always on the lookout for shop
lifters, you know, and it suddenly occur
red to me that it was quite likely I would
feel the heavy hand of a house detective
on my shoulder as I walked out of the
store. In fact, I didn't quite see how a
detective who was doing his duty could
avoid nabbing me. There I was loitering
around the books and intending to walk
away with a brand new, unwrapped novel
under my arm. What grounds would the
detective have for believing I hadn't stol
en it? I decided to remonstrate gently
but firmly with him. He would scoff.
Thereupon I would consent to be led
away. I would demand being taken to
the manager. I would state my case to
him in a quiet, ladylike, haughty manner
which would cow him, so different would
it be from the usual hysterical threats of
the real shoplifters. He would be con
vinced and apologize and hope it was all
right. Then I would smile frostily and
make no move toward going. 'Oh, no,' I
would say, 'it is not all right. You know
perfectly well what a box you and your
bright detective have got yourselves into.
I have a good damage case against this
store, and I intend to put it in the hands
of my lawyer. Either that and the annoy
ing publicity for you or you sit down and
sign a check for SI,OOO and hand it to
me.' Of course he would be glad to get
out of it for a paltry thousand, and then
I would depart, planning a summer trip
to Europe."
The fascinated audience was listening
breathlessly.
The pensive girl drew a long, long sigh.
"But the horrid house detective let me
walk out rignt unoer nis nose, ana t
flashed the book in his very face. I
could have hit btm, 1 was so mad."
"It was a shame!" sympathized the lis
tening chorus.—Chicago News.
A Reasonable Inquiry.
"Have you heard from "OiO I'.oomer
aug' since she went home'/" asked Mr.
Tucker, putting his feet on the table.
"I want you to stop calling mamma
'Old Boomerang,'" said Mrs. Tucker.
"What makes you call her that?"
"Why, 1 was just wondering when
ehe was coming back, that's all." au
ewered Mr. Tucker. "You ueedn't get
