CALLING A BLUFF.
Jutlß-c Jnrrott'f* Story of Ilia Flrat
Cane Before Judue White.
Judge Jjirrott tells this story to the
Kansas City Star of the first time he
came to Kansas City and tried a case
before the late Judge White of the
criminal bench: ,
"I was quite young then. In fact, I
was what might be called a green
country lawyer who had never been to
the city before. I had been told that
Judge White was a Tartar, so you can
imagine that I was somewhat nervous
when I appeared before him defending
one of my own country boys who had
come to the city and got into trouble.
"A panel of twenty-four jurors had
been selected, and all of them had
qualified as being unprejudiced. As you
know, after the state's attorneys have
made their challenges and turned the
list over to the defendant's attorney a
'reasonable' time is allowed the defense
to strike off the names of men It does
not care to have on the jury. Twelve
of the panel had taken seats in the jury
box, while the remainder occupied
chairs near by.
"Before the list was handed to me
Judge White looked over his glasses
and scowled.
" 'Young man,' he said fiercely, 'I
don't want you to delay this court by
taking two or three hours to make your
challenges. By a "reasonable" time is
not meant all forenoon.'
"Of course I was frightened, but I
acted on a thought that came to me
like a flash.
" 'Your honor,' I said, 'I have no de
sire to delay the court. The twelve
men who happen to occupy the jury
box will be satisfactory to me. I don't
know any of them, and they don't
know me.'
" 'But, your honor,' exclaimed the
prosecutor, 'I want a few moments in
which to make challenges.'
" 'Can't have it,' said the judge. 'lf
the defendant is willing to take his
chances, the state surely should be
equally willing.'
"The ease was tried, and I won it. I
cleared my man. Judge White came
down from the bench and walked to
where I was standing.
"'Young man,' he said, 'you're a po
ker player, aren't you?'
" 'No, judge,' I answered bashfully;
'I haven't played any poker since I be
came a man.'
" 'Nonsense!' said Judge White. 'A
man who calls a bluff like I made at
you a little while ago is bound to be a
poker player of the first water.'"
No Thanks For GO,OOO Clffftra.
The flow of generosity on the part of
the public to the troops in South Africa
has tailed off very greatly of late. A
letter from a correspondent just receiv
ed may partly explain the reason.
"Two years ago," the writer says, "I
sent a not altogether insignificant pres
ent of 00,000 cigars; not 0.00 or 0,000,
but 00,000. I applied to the war office
for the proper address and had this
painted, along with my own name at
the side, on the cases, 'Care of the gen
eral commanding the line of communi
cations. Cape Town.' From that day to
this I have had no kind of thanks, not
even an acknowledgment."—Pall Mall
Gazette.
Leap Year Children.
The members of the Berlin Society
of Leap Year's Children —to which
none is admissible unless born on Feb.
20—will keep their common birthday
in great style in 1004. They have had
no opportunity for eight years, as in
1000 the extra February day, accord
ing to the rules of the reformed calen
dar, was omitted. I [err Monteur, the
president of the society, Is a septuage
narian, but in the seventy years of his
life he has only had seventeen birth
days. He hopes to celebrate his eight
eenth birthday and seventy-second
year of his life in the midst of his col

NEW SHORT STORIES
lie Wnn Look 111 K: For Smith.
An amusing story is told by one of
Mr. Moody's colleagues of an incident
that occurred in tlie early days of bis
congressional career which is very
characteristic of the new head of the
navy department. It happened when
Mr. Moody and one of his associates in
congress kept bachelor's hall in u house
that stood next door to a fashionable
club.
One hot summer evening the Massa
chusetts member and his companion
were seated in the library, with doors
and windows all open, that they might
get whatever air was stirring, when a
rather dapper young man sauntered
into the room, stared a moment at its
occupants, who were evidently un
known to him, then threw himself
down in a chair under the light, took
up a paper and began to read. The
master of the house and his chum look
ed at each other, looked at the man
and wondered, but neither of them said
a word. After a few moments their
unknown guest walked over to the bell
and touched the button.
"Look here, John," he said to tlie
amazed butler who answered the ring,
"I wish you'd see if you can find Smith.
He must be somewhere about, for he
promised he'd meet me here at 10
sharp."
"But, sir," stammered the servant,
looking at his masters, who were hid
ing their merriment behind voluminous
papers, "I don't know Mr. Smith, sir."
"Send one of the other servants then
—he must he up stairs—and be quick
about it."
The man hesitated and looked at Mr.
Moody as though awaiting instructions.
Finally a light seemed to enter the
brain of the stranger.
"Isn't this the University club?" he
asked.
"No, sir," replied the butler, relieved.
"It's a private house, sir, and them two
gentlemen live in it."
The Intruder's embarrassment was
evident, and lie became red in tlie face
as he stuttered his apologies. "Well,"
lie said in conclusion, "you're thorough
breds and no mistake to have stood my
confounded Impertinence without say
ing a word. Come over to the club,
and we'll even up things."—Philadel
phia Times.
Wnnteil to Blear tlie Strnniter.
"I was down in Dayton's West Vir
ginia district a few years ago helping
in tlie campaign," said Representative
Mahon. "When we arrived at the meet
—"i
"HEY, THERE, JAKE!"
ing place, an able local orator was
holding fortli in away that was enter
taining and instructive to me. But the
crowd was evidently intent on hearing
the imported talent. You could see that
from the way they were hitching
around in the seats. Finally one old
fellow lost his stock of patience, so he
rose up in tlie center of tlie room and
waved his long arms at tlie speaker so
as to attrnct his attention.
"Hey, there, Jake!" he yelled. "Y'ou
dry up and set down! We want to hear
tlie stranger, and you needn't think we
don't hear enough of your trap at other
times."
Jake said he would be through in five
minutes, but he sat down in less time
than that. The objector sent up an ulti
matum.
"You shet up now," ho yelled, "or I'll
be up after you!"
A OrltiHlier'N Joke.
A facetious Britisher in the Holland
House cafe recently remarked to a
New Y'ork Tress reporter: "I—er—see
that—er—among youah hundred gentle
men of industry who met Henry of
Prussia at Sherry's there were a great
many gentlemen of leisure, self made,
of course. And with all youah boasted
go aheadness one of the most promi
nent of these gentlemen has devoted
his entire career to stopping the wheels
of progress. By pursuing his bent he
has accumulated a vast fortune, esti
mated at $40,000,000. Rather odd, is it
not, that nil American should grow so
wealthy endeavoring to retard things?
Of course, you know, I refer to Mr.
George Westlnghouse, whom I met re
cently in Washington. He has made
his fortune by putting on the brakes.
Haw, haw!"
1 I) lipe reel at I'll Dignity.
Andrew Lang tells this story: "As to
asking for votes, one would feel like
Ahernethy—l think it was he—who
stood for a professorship In Edinburgh.
He liad to canvass a bailie who was a
grocer The bailie had une attitude
digm You have couie, young sir, In
tills ereesL of your career to ask for
my vote I'or the chair of toxicockolo
gy?' No, sir. aid Ahernethy; 'I have
come to ask for a penny's worth of
you Put iheui up, and look smart
aboui it.'"
WRINKLE DON'TS.
Don't frown, don't scowl.
Don't sit facing a strong llglit.
Don't stoop or bend over while writ
ing or reading.
Don't worry, but if worry you must
keep the forehead smooth—don't wrin
kle it.
Don't wear tight shoes. Xhey make
a young fuce look old, drawn and
wrinkled in a few hours.
Don't neglect the ten minutes' rest
during the day, with the feet raised. It
gives the whole body u great sense of
repose and works wonders in smooth
ing out the lines of the face.
Don't speak with all the muscles of
the face, it is very charming and cap
tivating to be deeply, deadly in ear
nest, but facial grimaces form creases
which in time will become fixed.
Don't let insomnia the upper
hand. By all means In your power try
to break up the habit. Sleeplessness is
often caused by unconscious hunger,
and a cup of hot water or hot milk or
a biscuit will often induce sleep.
Don't go too long without food. Hun
ger gives n strained look to the face.
Kow and then if one is fatigued a bite
between meals will Invigorate the
whole system and give relaxation and
repose to strained muscles and nerves.
Women n.s Travelers.
' Joseph I. Young, who has long been
an attache of the famous Loudon Cook
tourist agency, declares that the best
lady traveler Is the American girl. "As
a rule," he says, "women are not good
travelers. Some engage a berth on a
first class steamer, find they are unable
to start at the appointed time and wind
up by sailing In a slow freighter. We
have a good deal of trouble with the
woman who reads a lot of guidebooks
before she starts. She Is usually so
busy finding the proper page that she
misses some of the best sights. Then
there Is the woman who travels with
too much luggage. The experienced
person provides himself with the small
est possible amount of such impedi
ments. wears a serviceable dress with
a few invisible pockets and is happy.
The greatest luggage fiend is the Eng
lish girl, who Is liable to have as many
as fifteen packages nnd wonders why
she sometimes loses one or two. Taken
as a whole, women are not so much of
a trial as might be imagined. Nearly
always they graciously recognize good
attendance, and a pleasant smile from
one of them goes further, even with a
surly guide, than a handsome tip from
some men."—Argonaut.
Spirit of the ITome.
There are dwellings where physical
health, refinement, well to do circum
stances nnd no trouble of any impor
tance lack but one tiling—the optimistic
spirit of tile mother. There is no use
denying a fuct which we all know.
The spirit of the home follows that of
the mother. If she Is lively, so will
her household be; If she is pessimistic,
the peison will sooner or later eat Its
way into every member of the family,
especially into the masculine portion
of it. Why? Because the mother's at
titude toward life influences her sons
more than her daughters. A woman
does not inlluence another woman to
any great extent mentally. Neither
does a man influence a woman as she
Influences him. Unless througli force
or through love for him, woman will
do pretty much as she pleuses, but
man is likely to be influenced at any
moment by any woman, whether he
loves her or not.
How Women Shnnld Stand.
To stand correctly is an art in Itself.
Eew women know how to assume a
correct upright position. Five minutes'
practice each day will enable you to
solve the problem and give you a grace
ful carriage. Walk up to a wall, touch
it with your nose, chest and toes, and
you will have the correct position for
standing. The hips should be thrown
back, the abdomen In and the shoulders
squared. This will give the stylish
llatness that shows off the fashionable
gown. A good exercise to give you the
correct attitude is: Keep the heels to
gether at an angle of sixty degrees,
having the weight of the body resting
on the balls of the feet, not on the
heels. The chest should be thrown
forward, the chili held in, the abdo
men drawn back and the hips held
buck.
Alice French.
Miss Alice French—whose nom de
plume, Octave Thanet, Is familiar to
all magazine readers- evolved her pen
name in a curious way. "Thanet" was
chosen from an inscription on a pass
ing freight car and "Octave" was the
name of u favorite school friend. She
pronounces the name Tha-net, nut
Tha-uay.
Personally she Is as good humored as
her stories and Is one of the most pop
ular women of her community. She
likes to compose on a typewriter, nnd
those who know her say that if bereft
of her fortune and pen she could make
a fine living us a cook. She is a liter
ary woman solely from Inclination,
however, as she belongs to one of
lowa's wealthiest families.—Washing
ton Post.
A Skin lienutfflcr.
Into a quart bottle put a cupful of
tea salt, half an ounce of camphor and
half an ounce uuimonht and fill it up
With hot water. Let it stand twenty
four hours before using. Into a basin
of water put a teaspoonful of this mix
ture and butlie the entire body, using a
sponge or bath cloth. You will be sur
prised at the dirt that will come from
the cleanest looking skin. The ammo
nia cleanses the pores and the salt and
camphor impart u beneficial effect that
cannot be exaggerated. Do tills every
day, and you will find yourself better
in skin uud strong, sturdy and health
ful in body.

A STORM IN A JAR.
Ilow You May liaise a Tempest In a
OlanN Vessel.
Here is a very pretty trick which you
can perform with little trouble and
which is always very effective. You
should tell your friends that you have
been on a visit to Old Man Swinkum
Swankum, the rainmaker, or some
thing of the kind and that he gave you
a jarful of rain. Then bring in a jar
of alcohol, all ready prepared, as ex
plained below. It will interest your
young friends very much, nnd as they
cannot tell what is in the jar they will
be completely puzzled and delighted,
too, by the little bottled piece of a
rainstorm before their very eyes.
Pour a quart of alcohol Into a two
quart glass Jar, cover the Jnr with a
A PRETTY PARTY TRICK,
saucer and set it in a vessel of hot
water, which, however, should not be
hot enough to make the alcohol boil.
When the spirit is thoroughly heated,
remove the jar, taking care not to
shake it, from the water and place it
on a table to cool. Soon u cloud will
form under the saucer und a very fine
rain will fall upon the surface of the
liquid below. The shower will last fif
teen or twenty minutes. A more vio
lent storm, with miniature whirlwinds,
may be produced by replacing the hot
saucer by a cold one when the jar is
taken from the water.—New York Her
ald.
SivlftncMH of Animals.
Every one lias noticed the marvelous
endurance shown by little fox terriers,
who follow their masters for hours
while the latter are riding on bicycles
or in carriages. Some wild animals
show great endurance, as the wolf,
which can run between fifty and sixty
miles in one night. The arctic fox lias
been known to do us well. Eskimo
and Siberian dogs can travel forty-live
miles on the ice in five hours, and
there is one case on record where n
team of Eskimo dogs traveled be
tween six and seven miles in twenty
eight minutes. The speed of shepherd
dogs Is said to be from ten to fifteen
yards a second. Setters and pointers
hunt at the rate of eighteen to nine
teen miles an hour, maintaining their
speed for at least two hours. A fox
hound once beat a thoroughbred horse,
covering four miles in six and one-half
minutes. Greyhounds are the swiftest
of all four footed creatures. Their
speed is equal to that of carrier pi
geons, covering from eighteen, to twen
ty-three yards a second.
Fnnny Flxliermen.
In England the hoys and sometimes
the grown men have a very funny way
pf catching fish.
You would never guess what it is, so
I might just as well tell you right off.
It was nn English boy who told uie
about it.
"You must first catch a goose," he
said, "and that is the hardest part.
Then you tie a line which has a baited
book on one end to the goose's leg.
"Then let her go. She'll make for the
water every shot, and as she swims
about she of course drags hook and line
after her.
"Pretty soon a fish bites nnd maybe
gets hooked.
"Then the goose feels something tug
ging at her leg. and she swims along
about as hard as she can. but this only
makes the tugging worse. The only
way to get away from that awful
something, she thinks, is to get out of
the water.
"So, with wildly heating wings, she
makes for shore at a rattling pace."
The Obedient Table.
You can make a light parlor table or
clialr obey your will and move when
you want it to in the easiest possible
manner, and no one will be able to de
tect you after you have practiced it a
little. Attach a silken thread to the in
sea in of your trousers below the knee,
allowing it to fall in a loop almost to
the lloor. Tick up the small table, ask
your friends to examine it nnd then
place it upon the floor, allowing one of
its legs to fall within the loop of the
thread. Step backward and command
the table to move. As soon as you have
tightened the thread the table will nat
urally go where it is pulled, and the
audience will he mystified.
Number Thirteen In Coins.
The commonest of all our silver coins
Is the twenty-five cent piece. In the
words "quarter dollar" are thirteen let
ters. "E IMuribus Unum" contains
thirteen letters. In the tail of the eagle
are thirteen feathers and in the shield
are thirteen lines. There are thirteen
stars and thirteen arrowheads, und if
you examine the bird through a micro
scope you will find thirteen feathers in
Its wing.
Und Their Own Spoons.
Good Mistress Chicken gave n party
To her little barnyard friends
And served a most delicious sop
She'd mude from odds and ends.
Their manners shocked the lady much.
"Why not use the spoons?" said she.
"Because," one said, and wagged his
head,
"We're spoonbill ducks, you see."
