Every now and then these days you encounter the modern hero. A turn of the: corner, a glance across the street, a tripnpon nothing more glorious than an. electric car may discover him. There is neither limelight nor slow music to distinguish him. He is un- usually browned and weather-beaten as to skin, generally faded and shabby as to clothes and lieghas not at , all the air of deserving to attract attention—least stall of wishing to: attract. it. About his only distinction, indeed, is a certain incisive self-respect and manliness in his air and bearing, but which most shows itself in his keen, unwavering eyes. Thee-yemmay be blue, brown, black or gs'ay’aud’tli‘e man may be tall or short, stout or lean, youthful or middle- aged; the look and the hearing are the tsame. But however modestly he may carry his heroship, there is no hiding of its light under a bushel by those who chance to. see him. " , . 'f Thimmere sight ofhim is enough to .interuupt the most exciting- street‘game or fight that was ever started; he draws ,ghefieyes of the busiest, and, where 'inue'h else is concerned, the - most in- difierent. ‘ ' ”l; - ' i‘iWom‘en" who, under ordinary cir- fc'i'n’nstances, dread to do anything Out of the way 'or cOnspicuouvs, stop. and give him a God-bless-you in a look, whether the look ever gets into words or not. Everywhere and by everybody is his heroshiprec‘ognized and honored? He is the man of the hour. But the curious thing is that all the honor is'for the manhimself, as he is; not for what " hemay or might have been, nor for any honor he may bring upon Others—sim- ply the plain fact of his identity. A man with a big mind and an un- nuly digestive apparatus once wrote a dissertation upon "Heroes and Hero Worship,” which by common consent is conceded to comprise pretty much all there is to be said upon the subject. But even this man with his big mind and the stimulus of his'dyspepsia failed tofully account fOr what was then the coming—now the modern—hero, and the worship that that hero received— the defender of his country’s faith— the American sailor and soldier. g flaly/L/ec a Erma. 4“ V'V Feminine Chat. Wanted-may be very well versed in grammar, but few of them can decline matrimony. . When a man says he will never do a. thing—give him time enough and he will do‘it. A woman can forgive a man not lov- ing her, but she cannot forgive his lov- ing some one else. . If a man didn’t know that he is not a hero to his valet it would be ever so much easier for the valet. As soon as a woman grows cynical you can rest assured some man has treated'her badly in a love affair. That hot minute or. two before the train pulls out from, the station turns :many a saint into a sinner. It is all very well to put an end to quarrels, but if you “make up” this weather you are bound to regret it. It is strange how many more admir- ers cluster around the young woman who swims than around the one who recites. Novelty rather than quantity counts on the menu these days. The average man prefers being ideal- ‘ilced to being understood. Ball gowns worn at the seashore re- sorts are trimmed profusely with alti- ficial flowers. . , A man never-appreciates his home ,untilhe has. left it and even when he gets, back again he doesn’t seem will- ing to stay in it. - T a E: Ely E N:l NG G A Z E TT E A big thunder-storm at night and a good hard cry are a combination that many a woman finds is to her advan- tage, though not to her beautification. There is scarcely a case on record that a man will not stick to his wife, even though he may protest undying afiectiOn for the woman who for the time being has been the cause of the domestic shadow. ' Why is it we never want to sleep on those mornings when there is no occa- the days when trains must be caught and work done on time the eyes can ‘ hardly be coaxed open? Whenever you are specially desirous of getting bargains in furniture it is noticeable that the papers are teeming with shirt waist ads, and when shirt waists are your desideratum there is a tremendous hue and cry regarding chifi’oniers. Is there anything more awful than waking to a sense of awful depression morning after morning and realizing that life with‘ all its worriments has to be faced ‘9 -—-The Pione‘er of the. Klondike. Mr. Joseph Ladue, who was summon ed to Washington recently for a cor.- fer‘ence with the Secretary Of War re- garding the means of furnishing relief to Dawson City miners, has sold a large number of his choice lots in Dawson City, some of his best placer claims, and a magnificent quartz mine, besides his rich timber limit, including a saw- mill which is earning $1350 a day net, to the Joseph Ladue Gold Mining and DevelopmentCompany of Yukon.
