THE HANDSOME DAUGHTER OF A
MONTANA INNKEEPER.
Sho Wanted Wafflon- I The Credibility

A French llclcn Keller—Her Mla
■ lon In the Twentieth Century.
The daughter of a Montana innkeep
er Is to become mistress of one of the
finest New York mansions on Fifth av
enue if she will.
She is Miss Mabel Foster, the pretty
daughter of John W. Foster of Butte,
Mon. Her marriage to Senator William
A. Clark's son will take place early in
June. The mansion is the marble mys
tery that Is building on Seventy-sev
enth street and Fifth avenue, the prop
erty of Senator Clark, the copper king.
Miss Foster is engaged to William
Audrews Clark. .Jr.. the senator's fa-
MISS MAUKI. FOSTER,
vorite son and namesake. So pleased
Is the senator with the match that he
has said lie will give her two wedding
presents. The first shall be a $1,000,000
check on lier wedding day. The other
will be the keys of the mansion as HOOH
as it Is finished.
The present plan, subject to such
changes as the bride may graciously
dictate, is that the marriage shall take
place early in June at Butte. All the
Clark family will be present. Mr. and
Mrs. William Andrews Clark. Jr., will
then go abroad for the rest of the year,
returning to take possession of the
marble mansion the following spring.
William A. Clark and John W. Foster
were both pioneer miners in the moun
tains of Montana. Today one has a
fortune variously estimated from $00,-
CMXLOOO to $ 120,000,1 H)0; the other has
no fortune at all.
Mabel Foster was known for a time
as "the belle of Butte." The fame of
her beauty and charm spread to the
smaller but more exclusive city of Hel
ena. Later all Montana knew her
fame.
She is Indeed a slender, black eyed
girl of 20. Her black hair stops just
short of being curly, and women de
scribe it as "fluffy." Her smile is quick
and charming. She has high spirits
and is impulsive and kindly.
She was born in Butte. She has al
ways lived there except when she was
at a girls' school on the Hudson.—New
Y'ork Journal.
She Wnntrd Wafllra,
And they say that women do not ap
probate the good things of life and the
pleasures of the table! It was at the
Woman's Exchange on 'Forty-third
street the other day that this story was
entirely disproved. The exchange Is
noted for the delicacies provided at its
luncheon rooms. Each and every article
Is made by an expert in that particular
line, and the result, as In everything
where there Is specialized work, is ex
cellent. The wealthiest women in the
city, women from the best hotels in the
city, are regular patrons, and strangers
in town find their way there sooner or
later. The patronage is so good that
the lunchrooms are always full, and as
soon as a table is vacated there Is some
one to occupy it.
So it happened that after this last
period of cold weather there was a
rush to the exchange. For a number of
days the women had been bouse bound,
and with the first warm weather they
appeared out in great numbers, and it
seemed that every woman made
straight for the exchange to have a
good luncheon once more. With the
lunchrooms full on ordinary occasions
this sudden exodus from their homes to
the exchange filled it to overflowing.
Every one about the place fell to, clear
ed tables, took orders and helped in ev
ery way to make the service more rap
id. But still the place was crowded,
and the big central hall from which the
two lunchrooms are reached was
crowded with waiting women. Sud
denly there was a commotion among
them, for one woman had bum into
tears and was shaking with agonized
sobs. Every one was sympathetic and
tried to soothe the sufferer, visions of
some dire grief rising before their eyes.
At last the unhappy one became calmer
and between the sobs put ber sorrow
into words:
"I—l—have been—waiting a whole
week—for—for waffles, and now—now
I don't believe I am going to get any
after all."
Now that the exchange owns the
building it occupies it hopes to put on
an extension as soon as possible, and
this will enlarge it to provide more ad
equate accommodations for its lunch
eon guests —New York Times.
The Credibility of Wo mem.
Miss H haps the
l st kn< in New
fork. gal Aid so
ciety and president of the Woman's
Lawyers' club M Loew has abun
dant opportunity to know the feeling*
©f women who are practicing lawyers.
In talking with a representative of the
press Miss Loew said:
"My experience has not been long, to
be sure, but for the time I have been
in practice I have had exceptional op
portunities to note the difference, if any
existed, in the credibility of a woman
and a man when on the witness stand.
All day long I deal with men and wom
en here in the Legal Aid society. I have
viewed women from a legal viewpoint,
1 think without prejudice. I have
found that there are men liars and
there are women liars. A liar of one
sex will lie as readily as a liar of an
other. I have never been able to detect
any difference. It used to be said that
you could tell when a man was lying
more readily than you could when a
woman was lying. I have got over that
superstition. It is the same in both
sexes. I have seen men lie on the wit
ness stand in a manner which was
wonderful, and I have seen women do
the same thing. How many perjuries
are committed by men every day? Take
an equal number of witnesses of each
sex and sift out the proved perjuries
committed, and you will llud tliat there
is practically no difference.
"As to a. woman talking herself into
a belief that what she before Imagined
was a fact. I have seen men do the
same thing time and time again. Some
women are hysterical, and so are some
men. It is only a difference in the man
ifestation of the same disease. Men be
come cross, brutal and bearish, while a
woman becomes as a rule tearful. Both
ore imaginative when in this condi
tion."—New York Press.
Roses For the queen.
Perhaps the most pleasing gift re
ceived by the late queen of England
last Christmas day was the box of
magnificent "Queen of Edgely" roses
from Philadelphia. It took no less than
two years to produce the 12 magnifl
cent roses which comprised this Ameri
can gift. Two years ago, when the
British Horticultural society hold ail
exhibition of roses In Buckingham pal
ace, her majesty graciously asked a
rose grower of Philadelphia what he as
an American thought of the English
roses.
He replied that they were very pret
ty, but that every one grew better roses
In the United States. Her majesty
then expressed a desire to see some of
the more gorgeous of the American
roses.
The American on his return home
began experimenting in order to pro
duce the finest roses ever grown and
also to discover a method of preserva
tion certain for at least 12 duys. After
24 months he accomplished both ends
and sent the dozen promised roses in
charge of u famous Loudon florist. The
roses were eight inches in diameter and
had stems one yard long. The large
blooms were shaped like the American
Beauty, but were a bright pink color.
The precious flowers arrived in perfect
condition. The ends of the stems were
placed in long glass vials filled with
water and capped by rubber fitted
closely around the stem. The opening
buds were then wrapped in waxed pa
per to exclude the air, and then the
roses, stem and all, were burled, each
by Itself, In soft moss dampened and
packed in cracked ice.
The box of roses was then sealed In a
strong box and placed in the Lucania's
cold storage room. When the box was
opened, it was found that the buds hail
burst into full blossom and were en
trancingly fragrant and beautiful.
They were consigned 1o the English
secretary for foreign affairs, who saw
that they were safely delivered to her
majesty. Thus it was that the loveliest
and largest reses in the world came to
the good queen on Christmas day.—
Leslie's Weekly.
A French Helen Keller.
Marie Ileurtiu, writes a French cor
respondent, was born deaf, dumb and
blind. Up to the time when she was
10 years old she was apparently not
nly completely idiotic, but also a most
Impossible little person, who lay down
on the ground and rolled at the slight
est thing which displeased her and was
altogether so violent that she was sent
away from two institutions for deaf
mutes and passed on to the nuns at
Lamay as a perfect little savuge for
whom It was quite useless to try to do
anything.
These devoted sisters first tamed the
little shrew, then taught her. Marie
neurtin had brought away with her a
little knife, which she seemed to love.
Sister St. Marguerite, who had got the
child's confidence in away, took away
the knife, making meanwhile in the
hand of the little girl the sign which
In the deaf and dumb language means
knife. Then the knife was put back
into her hand with the same sign. Aft
er a time Marie Ileurtin began to com
prehend that there was a connection
between the sign and the object. From
the knife the Sister St. Marguerite
went on to repeat the same experience
with the fruits the little girl liked best.
In the end she understood that for ev
erything there was some particular
sign by which it could be designated,
i Her idea of space is so exact that she
can walk directly across a room and
open a door without confusion or hesi
tation. Unconsciously she must meas
ure her movements, for if interrupted
she loses herself entirely. To be old Is
something thnt happens to you when
you have "walked a great, great deal."
Marie Hucrtin has a keen sense of
beauty and an Intense a-sthetic pleas
ure in beautiful things. Her sense of
tourh is so exquisitely delicate that she
can enjoy line and color in an embroid
ery or tapestry by simply passing her
hand over the design.—Harper's Bazar.
Her Mln.lon In theTirentlrth Crntnry
The twentieth century will be pre
eminently the woman's century. It will
be her duty, bcr privilege, to do its
choicest work. What is the noblest
thing she may do with her life, with
her leisure? The thoughtful American
girl 's coming to see this truth, that
the nation's greatest need Is spiritual
ity. that the ideal type from now on
will be the spiritual woman. It is not
the religious side of spiritual life which
is lacking. The churches and hundreds
of God fearing men and women are at
tending to that. It is that portion of
spiritual life not directly connected
with religion—the portion which has
ever been woman's peculiar province—
which is neglected.
In the physical conquest of this coun
try woman bore the heroic part of the
silent sufferer. Important as was the
role she played then, it grew even more
important in the intellectual conquest
which followed. That conquest is so
nearly complete that it may be taken
for granted. An education—such an
education as the world never dreamed
of heretofore—is now within the reach
of every American boy and girl. It ex
tends from the kindergarten through
the university. But having become the
most powerful, the richest and the
most resourceful of modern nations we
are not to rest there in the belief that
progress is all to be measured by war
ships and the dollar mark. Every |seo
ple has gained a little on the great lad
der that humanity Is climbing, and
though material progress comes first
spiritual must follow, or the nation
falls.—George W. Gerwig in Woman's
Home Companion.
She Bnlaea Dncka and Bees.
A flourishing little farm of three
acres on the north end of Lake Cliam
,plain produces yearly more than 2 1 /j
tons of honey and 1,500 ducks, besides
quantities of fruit which is marketed
at the neighboring summer hotels, li
is owned and run by Miss Frances En
len Wheeler, for several years a ste
nographer and typewriter in this city.
In an interview Miss Wheeler said:
"It seems a far cry from a stenogra
pher's place in New York to the owner
ship and superintendence of a duck
and bee ranch. Yet in looking back
ward the sense of harmony between
the two occupations deepens. I have
grown to understand that it does not so
much matter what we do as how we do
it, that the qualities required for a suc
cessful stenographer are equally neces
sary for a duck and bee ranch. In both
callings, if success is to be attained, Ig
norance must be overcome by persever
ance, tact and common sense."—New
York Tribune.
Draotlfnl Fan From Italy.
A fan that is notable for its cost and
beauty lias Just been given by Mrs. Jo
seph Drexel to the Museum of Arts
and Sciences of Philadelphia. By spe
cial permission of Queen Marghorita of
Italy the fan was made for Mrs. Drex
el by the royal artisans. The workmen
were instructed to employ their great
est skill without limit of cost to make
a unique article. The sticks are of tor
toise shell held together with gold
clasps. They are exquisitely carved
and richly inlaid with diamonds and
pearls and bear the queen's crown set
with rubies and diamonds, below
which the cross of Savoy is wrought in
small diamonds. The lace was made
at the school which the queen estab
lished for the encouragement of Un
lace Industry. On a panel at one side
the queen's autograph, "Marghorita,"
appears. The fan cost Mrs. Drexel
more than SI,OOO.

Mrs. Hold Smith has scored a triumph
among men artists of the world. Her
husband held the contract for the exe
cution of the Sherman statue to he
erected In Washington. His death oc
curred when the work was well under
way. Immediately a great many art
ists applied to the government for the
unfinished tusk. This work, however,
has been assigned to Mrs. Hold Smith,
who will complete the statue according
to her husband's design, thus accom
plishing her desire to preserve his
fume embodied in the original plan.—

Not Shown In Drew,
Whatever feelings of sadness the
death of Queen Victoria has caused
among the women of this country,
there has been 110 attempt to show It In
dress. While all England as one wo
man went into black and while there
were sympathizers enough in New
York to bring out big mass meetings of
mourners, there was no mourning
worn. People interested in black dress
goods watched to see what the result
would be, but there was no perceptible
difference in the trade in black goods.
—New York Letter.
There Is a qlce old lady in a town
not far from T"4w York who is making
a neat little sum of money with one of
the accomplishments which were fash
ionable when she was a young girl. She
paints on glass and makes many tops
for looking glasses after the old style.
She is now between SO and 90 years
old, and there Is an added interest in
her work because of her age.
A very pretty gown has Insertions of
renaissance lace with a falling ruffle
nround the edge of the yoke edged with
eluny. This ruffle Is carried down on
either side of the opening at the front,
which is closed with little ribbon bows.
There are insertions of the lace set in
a graceful design at the tops of the
sleeves of this gown.
Single faced velvet ribbon is prom
ised as one of the trimmings for fou
lard gowns, and it is to be stitched on
at the upper edge. Graduated bands of
piece velvet were stitched on to the
skirts of the winter models, so It is
only the same idea differently express

New Executive Board Member.
j Henry Collins, of Carbondale, yester
day received word from Indianapolis
that he has beon appointed a member of
the national executive board, United
Mine Workers, to take affect on May 1.
It Is the first time in the history of the
present union that District No. 1, the
largest in the anthracite region, has had
j a representative on the national board.
The executive board is limited to eight
members and the appointment of Mr.
Collins means that one of the members
must have resigned, but which one it is
Mr. Collins does not know. There are
only two other anthracite district men
on the board. They are Benjamin
James and John Fahey. Mr. Collins
likely succeeds the latter member.
Mr. Collins will bo one of the ten men
to direct the destinies of the greatest
labor organization now in existence.

Dorothr's Good Tluie.
Dorothy's mother tvas trying to teach
lier good manners and told her site
must always say when she went away
from a place where she had been in
vited that she had had a good time.
Recently site was at a party where
there were several little boys, and they
had a big fuss. The little girl lias it
temper of her own, und when" her moth
er started to go she was so angry with
one of the boys that she was crying as
hard as site could. "I won't like you -
one bit," she said, with a stamp of her
foot, "and I never—never—will come
here again." Then, remembering her
manners, she sobbed out, "Rut I've—
had—a—perfectly lovely time."
You will waste time if you try to cure
indigestion or dyspepsia by 'starving
yourself. That only makes it worse when
you do eat heartily. You always need
plenty of good food propeyly digested.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the result of
years of scientific research for something
that would digest not only some elements
of food but every kind. And it is the
one remedy that will do it. Grover's

Camel. Cannot Stvlm.
Camels cannot swim. They are very
buoyant, but ill balauced, and their
heads go under water. Tliey can. how
ever, lie taught to swim rivers with
the aid of goatskins or Jars fastened
under their necks. During the Balu
chistan expedition In 1808 the camels
were lowered into the sea from the
ships and their drivers, plunging over
board, elainhered on to the backs of
their charges, causing the animals'
heads to come up, and thus assisted
they were successfully piloted ashore.
