THE AMERICAN HEIRESS 0mm.
A Law Passed to Save Her‘ Property from
Her Spendthrift Husband.
It is estimated that American heir-
esses pay annually to foreign fortune
hunters the aggregate sum of $30,000.-
000 to induce the titled foreigners to
marry them. Referring to this evil
one of the United States senators, in
a speech on the floor of the Senate the
other day, compared such American
heiresses to “heifers fatt-ened for the
foreign market”—thrat is to say, fat-
teued with their fathers’
which makes them attractive in the
eyes of their aristocratic lords; So
prevalent has become the fashion of
rich American women marrying for.
signers that the last New York legisla-
ture felt constrained to pass a law to
protect such women and their heirs
from the disposition of their husbands
to grab everything they possess. This
law provides that any woman born a
citizen of the United States, who shall
have married or shall malry an alien,
and the foreign-born children and de-
scendants of any such woman shall,
notwithstanding her or their residence
or birth in a foreign country, be enti-
tled to take, hold, convey and devise
real property situated within the State
of New York. Under this law, if New
York heiresses will have the bulk of
their property at home when they mar.
ry abroad, they will be able control it,
and will thus be able to command good
treatment from their respective
spouses. When a foreign fortune-
hunter gets the woman and her prop-
erty into his own control the result is
usually much misery for the Amciican
woman, as the numerous sepmations
and lawsuits growing out of interna-
tional marriages testify.
It would be better if the American
lleiresses would marry Americans and
save the $30,000,000 drain; but as
there are many who prefer foreigners,
it is well that our laws should offer
them such protection as is possible
from the results of their folly—Minne-
apolis Tribune.
TALKING IN THE DARK.
"Dearest.” “fasn’t Quite Equal to Scorch-
a... ing Up the Hill.
There is one amusing feature about
wheel riding that all old riders—and a
good many new ones-must have no-
ticed. That is th e way in which a mo-
derately proficient rider will carry on
a conversation with some one behind
him, without really knowing who that
some one may be.
The other day a wheelman was com-
ing up the Dodge street hill. There
isn’t much of a hill on Dodge street,
but slight as it is, it bothers the new
riders. Just ahead of the wheelman
in question, who was riding at a leis-
urely rate, was a stout lady, mounted
on a new bike. Ira-11f way up the in-
cline the wheelman was astonished to
been her call out:
“Coming, déar‘."
The wheelma .11 didn't answer. He
felt sure the inquiry couldn’t be ad-
dressed to him, and he kept silence.
“All out of breath, dear?” she called
again.
And again the wheelman made no
reply.
"Don’t be discouraged,” she cheerily
shouted. “You’ll get there by and by,
dearest.”
The wheelman thought so too, but
he made no mention of the fact.
“Does it tire oor ’ittle armies so
'nuchee?” continued the stout lady.
That was too muchee for the wheel-
man. He put on steam and passed
the lady. As he whirled by she caught
sight of his smiling countenance.
“Oh, I beg your pardon,” she cried,
1nd narrowly averted a. tumble.
When the wheelman had gone a lit—
tle further he looked back over his
shoulder and saw a lank young fellow,
with fuzzy little side whiskers, toiling
wear-11y up the hill.
And he feels pretty sure that was
“dearest.”—Clevelaud Leader.
The Ilidlan’s Low Voice.
A Western man tells The St. Louis
Republican that Eastern people talk
much more loudly than the people of
the far West. “If you ever heard an
Indian talk,” he says, “you will real-
ize the force of what I say. I never
saw a real Indian that spoke much
above a whisper. He illustrates exact-
ly what I mean. The Indian lives in
quiet and solitude. His atmosphere is
not filled with noises and tympanum-
piercing sounds. Consequently he does
not have to elevate his voice in carry-
ing on conversation. Your city arab,
the counterpart of the Indian, talks
loud enough when he comes to Arkan-_
sas to be heard in the next county.”
Why He Met the Wedding Expenses.
The problem of how to meet the ex.
penses of a honeymoon has driven
many a man into a queer corner. And
in this strait a resourceful medical
student last year sold his body to the
hospital where he was working, re—
ceiving $125 for it. The sum gave the
young pair a nice little holiday, and
they are both too healthily constituted
to see any morbid suggestion in the
means by which it was raised.

A NEW MILITARY ORDER.
A11 Organization Formed for
Against Foreign Aggression.
The Military Order of Foreign “’ars
of the Unit ed States is one of the
many organizations which have come
into existence in recent years as the
1esult of a sort of revival of patriotic
pride. While some of them incidental-
ly afford opportunities for the display
of gen-eulogical records, they all tend
to st1engthen patriotic interest in our
national past and to bring all sections
closer together in the present. The Mill-
tary O1der of F01eign “’ars “stands
for the needed and honorable princi-
ple of national defense against foreign
aggression,” and‘ covers the period of
American history since national inde-
pendence.” Companionship is limited
to paitlcipants in actual warfare, or
to direct descendants, in the male line
only, from commissioned oflicers who
took part in a. f01eign war of the
United States The or'de1 includes in
Its officeis and membership many of
the most distinguished men of all sec-
tions, and should form another pa-
triotic bond of union between the dif-
ferent parts of ”the country.
An Object In View.
“Here are your slippers, my dear,”
said the husband of the Emuucipated
Woman, as the latter came in, weary
with the cares of the day. “As soon
as you have put them on and rested :1
bit you will find dinner ready, and I
hope. you will enjoy it, for I have
cooked one of your favorite dishes.
Mr. Tiff was in this afternoon, calling,
and I just told him that I had the most
indulgent wife in the world, as well
as the handsomest woman in the city.
I am so proud of you, dea1.” _
At this the sweet little husband bent
over and kissed his wife fondly. It
was easy to see that they were deeply
attached to each other.
“That’s all right,” replied the Eman-
cipated \Voman, putting her spouse on
his neck. “You are a dear, good boy,
and you shall have that new silk hat
you have been wanting so long. Now
let us have dinner, for I’m as hun-
gry as a hunter.”—New York V‘V'orld.

Spanish Mode of Warfare Once Efl'ectively
Opposed.
Two letters marked “cOnfidenti al"
and possessing a sigliiflcant relevancy
to the present Cuban situation are on
file at the State Department. When
President'Grant entered upon his first _
term he found the Spanish Govern-
ment trying to suppress an insurrec-
tion in Cuba by methods: which the
present Captain General Weyler has
copied. “In the interest of Christian
civilization and common humanity,”
the great commander protested first
through the Spanish Minister at VVash-
ington and a few weeks later through
the American Minister at Madrid
against “such a mode of warfare.” He
declared that “the time has come when
this struggle should be carried on in
a more humane way.”
Back from Madrid came by cable-
“Severe and positive orders given to
step the scandalous executions of cap-
tives and like cruelties.”
President Grant did not stop
Spanish promises. His Seeietary 01
State, Hamil-ton Fish, immediately
to Consul General Plumb at Havana
as follows.
“We get information from, Madrid
wrote under cover of ‘confidential'
that severe and positive orders have
been given to stop the scandalous ex-
ecution of captives and like cruelties.
It is of great importance that the de-
partment should know at an early date
how far the news at Madrid can be
depended on.”
The Consul General made a. careful
investigation and reported in detail,
marking his letters “confidential.” In
summing up his conclusions he wrote:
“I have had no or casion whatever to
doubt the good intentions of General
de Rod; ., but the circumstances with
which he has to deal may in some
power to overcome them.”
Then the Consul General quoted
from the most recent orders issued by
the Captain General to his subordin-
ates to show the inauguration of a
more human policy as the result of .
the action at Washington. These
orders were as follows:
“All functionaries who depend ,upon'
my authority will cause to be respect-
ed the lives, houses and properties of
all the inhabitants without distinction,
punishing with vigor those acting in
a contrary manner.
“The greatest care shall be taken
that in proceeding in any manner
against foreigners no legal requisite
shall be omitted to. the just considera-
tion that is due to their nations.
“Civilization and‘the prestige of
Spain before the judgment of other
nations impose the obligation of being
as sparing as possrhle in the shedding
of blood, and this painful extreme
should only be restored to with lead-
ers, or men against whom the. e have

REED-’5 SCHOQL FOR BOYS.
The House of Representatives Very Like a
District School.
The Speaker sat on a forward seat
of the open car going up the avenue to
the Capitol. His head was bent toward
the wide open sheet of thermorning
paper. A green necktie of aggravat-
ing hue climbed to the top of the col-
lar and seemed to call for adjustment.
Membgls of the 'h'ouse sat beside the
Speaker and watched the progress of
that necktie. One of them, a little
bolder and fresher. than the rest,
leaned over and suggested:
“Excuse, me, 2:11: Speaker, but your
necktie is geiung auove your collar;
shall I fix it for y-.u u?”
' That’s all right; ” drawled b1r.Reed,
not raising his eyes from the pa pel;
“I always wear it that way.”
Like a schoolboy, the member shift—
ed uneaslly 1:1 his seat, while, like
other schoolbos's, the listening Con-
gressmen tittered at the time-hon-
01 ed joke .
'1 he1e is much in the proceedings of
the House to remind of schoolmaster
and school. Several distinguished
Missourians sat, in the gallery and wit-
nessed the semi-weekly skit of as-
semblying and adjourning. When the
House had been “let out” they agreed
that they had seen a very striking
parallel of boyhood experiences. When
a little lat er they sat in the cloak room
and heard bold talk of defying “Old
Reed“ and getting something through
the House, they recalled the plottings
in the woodshed to upset the school
room discipline. The boy is the father
of the man. “Cloakroom backbone’
and wocdshed nor '9 are much alike.

1 certain grandmother the other day.
l‘he grandmother wits one who had
and a large family of children of her
)wn. Her circumstances had been
but moderate, but she had, neverthe-
ress, succeeded in “raising” them with
111 due honor. A more creditable set
of youngsters was not to be found any‘
where, so said all the relatives, friends
1nd neighbors. At last the whole fam-
ily were safely “raised,“ and one by
one securely established in professions

mother could begin to feel that some
.eisure and independence lay before
Jer, and that she could, at last, in-
l-ulge in some little pleasure on her
)wn account, the eldest daughter died,
leaving a big family of little children.
Well, there was no one but the grand-
nother to look after them, and as ev-
eryone said, never was there any one ,
better fitted to do it, although it did
reem hard after all those years of self,
ienial spent in disciplining her own
ifflspring. One day some one said
something of this sort to the grand-
mother. “How do I manage it all?”

WHEN THE QUEEN‘LAUGHED.
A Funny Incident Which Greatly Amused
Her Majesty.
The tradition that “the Queen never
smiles” is as old in England as her
reign. The hundreds of photographs of
her majesty sold in all parts of the
world invariably show the one expresv ’
31011, the heaviness of the face accentu-
ated by the pronounced droop of the
long upper lip.
But, nevertheless, the Queen does
smile. A number of years ago Charles
Knight, a photographer at Newport,
Isle of Wight, secured a likeness of
her which shows her Majesty not more ,
ly smiling, but broadly laughing.
How did it happen that such a like-
ness was obtained? In this way: The
Queen. was visiting Newport. The
Mayor of the city was presenting in
11 verbose and fulsome speech a mag"
uifiCent bouquet. He had carefully com-
mitted the speech to memory, but in
his anxiety to make a favorable im-
pression with his courtly'm-anners, his
pomp and splendor of royal velvet and
1’ fur-trimmed robe, medals, cocked hat,
, and cable chains of gold, he “lost his
place.” ,
After some stammerlng and stutter-
ing he suddenly shouted, “I’ve forgot-
ten the rest,” and stood gazing at the
Queen like a stupid schoolboy on. visit-
:r‘s’ day. Then her Majesty laughed
putright, and the flustered and heart-
broken Mayor dropped the bouquet
tnd fled. While the Queen was laugh-
ing, Knight, the photographer, took
