"Eye Nature's walks, shoot folly as It tiles."
Grand Old Eagle Eye, the Long-Haired Border Terror,
I ,Wno Has Buffalo Billed All Over the Known World,
Now Spending the Twilight of His Days on a Meat
I Little Flower-Embowered Skunk Farm in Noo
Bampshy, Next Door to Maine, b'Gosh.
you know all about Eagle Eye, the
crack wild western rough rider and renowned
rifle shot, who has Buffalo Billed and Barnum &
iBaileyed all over America and Europe, and who never
'yet has cut his hair? Whether -you do or not, he has
^settled down to run a skunk farm at Warren^ N. H.
Eagle Eye is easily the greatest character in War
S'ren. His appearance in the road riding his bucking
broncho, with his leather trousers and sombrero, is that
.of a genuine*cattle puncher. That he never had his
fhair cut is one of his boasts, and his heavy locks, like
ours, when loose fall far below his waist and are more
than four feet in length.
His father's name was Hawk Eye, who was a part
Indian and the other part Mexican. And his mother
was always referred to as Mrs. Eye, so'that the present
member of the family jocosely says that he has three
eyes, himself and his two optics.
Mr. Eye says that there, is money in skunks. He
has a ready market in Boston for all the pelts and oil
he can produce. But the Yankee farmer, every one of
whom has had a skunkus Americanus under his barn
at some time or another in his career, looks with an
evil eye on Eagle Eye's trade and gives the skunk
farm a wide berth. But Eye says he does not care one
scent for that. finds the skunks very companion
able little fellows and as mild as kittens unless they
are disturbed.
Unfortunately, it is necessary to disturb about two
thousand of them a year in order to rip off their pelts.
This process the skunk finds serious objections to and
he takes his own way of expressing dissatisfaction
with it. This protest of the skunkus may be described
as "loud." I can be heard all over Warren, New
Hampshire, and out into the country.
This continued protest has somewhat aroused tho
citizens of Warren, but as Eagle Eye is said to be oue
of the kind that shoots, nobody has yet taken up the
matter with him and probably will not.
It seems beautiful to hear of a grand old border
character like that of Eagle Eye spending the twilight
of his days on the farm, surrounded by skunks and
the trophies of the chase.
"Some folks," said Uncle Eben, "seems to 'magine
dat no. matter how much dey tromps on yoh feet, de's
puffeck gentlemen if dey says 'scuse me-afterward."
Washington Star.
The gentleman takes some little pains not to step
on your foot in the first place, instead of planting him
self forcibly upon it and then making it all right by
a "beg pardon" or something equally as good.
Now and then you see a man at a restaurant who
thinks it is a mark of culture to pick his teeth at
table, provided he does it behind his napkin.
You know the difference "on sight.' There is the
real gentleman and .there is the boy who steps on your
feet or your feelings somewhere and then "makes it
all right" by saying "excuse me." I is something
like making a donkey into a horse by clipping his ears.
He does not carry the donkey appearance quite so
openly, but he is still thinking the donkey thought.
Arrests of a number of automobile people, who
have been skinning around the town in a way that
suggests sudden death and other forms of violence,
show that the chauffeur is still underestimating the
particular form of bonebreak that he is handing ou:
to the public. But his brand of danger will be a small
matter ten years from now when we read in the papers
news items and dispatches like these:
"Mrs. Johnson Badly Hurt.
"In bringing his aeroplane to earth this'morning,
George Henry, son, of P. H. Henry, our wealthy
banker, alighted on Mrs. C. Carter Johnson, an aged
woman who lives on Fourth avenue. She was badly
hurt and was taken to the hospital.
"Careless Aeroplaning Again.
Anoka, May 3.In making a flight yesterday, J.
Lavender Selover scraped the chimneys from a row
of flats at Bum Biver place and Sixteenth street and
-was himself violently thrown to the ground with his
plane, breaking his arm. Aeroplanists are getting so
numerous now that the accident list is becoming appal
ling. Measures are to be taken by the city to abate
the nuisance."
/M
Poultney Bigelow, who spent several hours on the
isthmus a few months ago and came back and was
severely roosevelted for reporting things down there
as strictly bad and unamerican, has been down again,
as he says, "to make sure I was right." It was per
haps a good deal to expect that he would come back
and report him a liar, so he finds finally that even
casual glance at conditions on the isthmus tell, that
they are bad."

Bad Bill Taft carefully sits on the intruder.

One of the most attractive offerings
on the fish stalls at the present time is
fresh cod. A variation from the usual
fried fish and one that is especially
economical in that it entails little
waste is fresh cod steaks, breaded.
Have the fishmonger cut you as many
slices as you have persons to serve. A
half-inch is a good thickness for each
ateak, and if the middle portion of the
fish is sliced, you may not require the
full number of steaks.
THE EMERGENCY CLOSET
A supply drawer containing band
ages, plasters and other necessaries, in
case of sudden illness or accident, is
as great a household convenience as
the medicine chest.
The drawer or shelf that is "to hold
the emergency supplies should "be near
th6 medicine chest, and it is most im
portant that it should always be in
order.
The nature of the supplies must de
pend somewhat upon the needs* of the
family. If there are many children,
with their various childish aches and
pains, the. closet should hold a gener
ous supply of old muslin for plasters
as well as a roll of flannel for hot ap
plications.
Where there is a band of turbulent
boys to be considered, bandages galore
will be required and surgical plaster
for the many cuts and wounds.
For general home supplies, first in
importance is the hot-water bag. It'
is well to have two of these useful ar
tides, a large one holding two quarts
and a small one holding a pint of water.
The smaller size is much better to use
about the face and neck.
The closet should also contain one
two-ounce package of absorbent cot
ton, one roll of one-inch wide surgical
What the Market .Affords
plaster and one-half yard of oil-silk. much to prepare.
i.&i
Make a batter as for fritters. One
ggj two tablespoonfuls of milk or
cream with salt and flour, or bread
crumbs enough to thicken will be suffi
cient for six steaks. Dip each .slice of
cod in this batter and fry in a skillet
of hot lard, turning each piece once.
The fish is perfectly cooked when the
meat looks white and flaky. Turn and
lift with a cake lifter in order not to
break the steaks, which should be
round and puffy and evenly browned
when served. Lay on a hot dish gar
nished with slices of lemon, and sprin
kle with minced parsley. Serve with
this potato balls, or if you have a
pastry tube, further augment your gar
nish with a circle of the creamed po
tato.
By cutting old potatoes into small
balls, allowing them to soak for three
or four hours in cold-water, then boil
ing in cold salted water and^serving
with cream sauce, a good substitute for
new potatoes is obtained.
Heated, the cotton makes an excellent
pad to ease severe pain, where the
weight of a bag would e irritating.
It is also a superior dressing, as it
islittle
absolutely free from all impurities and
has the extra advantage of absorbing
moisture from the skin. The plaster
will hold together a cut or keep a
bandage in place, and the oil-silk may
be used to cover hot applications to
keep the heat in and prevent the moist
ure from spreading.
A good supply of old flannel is a
positive luxury. I is, however, sell
to remember that it should always be
boiled before being admitted to the"
supply chest. Canton'flannel, which is
soft and holds the heat well, will
serve where old flannel cannot be ob
tained.
Old table linen makes'the most use
ful sort of pieces for plaster, etc., and
old sheets are equally valuable. They
may be torn in wide strips and folded
away. Sheets are, however, best torn
in three-inch-wide strips for bandages,
each strip being rolled up as tight as
possible and pinnediV

GIVE HIM TIME.
WO men were traveling in one of the hill counties
of Kentucky not long ago bound on an iexplora
tion for pitch pine. They had been driving ,dor two
hours without encountering a human being, when they
came in sight of a cabin in a clearings It was very
still. The logs lay where they had fallen, the thin
clay-bank ,mule grazed round and round in a neat
circle, to save the trouble of walking, and one lean,
lank man, whose garments were the color of the
clay-bank mule, leaned against a tree and let time
roll by. "Wonder if he can speak," said one traveler
to the other. Try him, said his companion. The
two approached the man, whose yellowish eyes" re
garded them without apparent curiosity. "How,do
you do," said the northerner. "Howdy," remarked
the southerner languidly'. "Pleasant country." "Fur
them thet likes it." "Lived here all your life?"
The southerner spat pensively in the dust. "N ot yit,"
he said.

KEEP YOUR TEMPER
-It is in making the home a comfort
and a pleasure that the real skill in
housekeeping may be exercised.
A good housekeeper must. not only
know how to make plans for her work,
but she must also know how to change
her plans easily, or even do away with
them altogether for a time, if it seems
best.
No housewife can hope to have a
pleasant home for her family, or be
herself anything but a careworn
woman, who does not always provide
for the unexpected, and one of the im
portant provisions is to always keep
her temper.
If the unexpected happens, and it is
continually happening in all active and,
hospitable households, meet it without
any fretfulness, and it will not be half
so difficult to deal with.
One of the secrets of being able to
hai one's plans frustrated without any
serious inconvenience is in being be
forehand. Never allow work to accu
mulate if it is possible to do it.
Keep everything in such order that a
neglect will not show.
And yet even here one may become
a slave to being beforehand, and so
rush ir.to the other extreme. But one,
will be safe if she try %o do work
ahead of time only .when it may be
done easily and at such convenient
times that- it will hardly seem to be
work'.

He was too much

m^mmmm.
Linen should never be starched. It is
a common mistake that many house
keepers make, but nothing so detracts
from the appearance and life of good
linen as starch. Some women imagine
kthat everything that goes thru the
laundry should be bathed in starch. One
faij matron is said to have starched her
handkerchiefs.
Perhaps there is some stuff that mas
querades under the name of linen that
one has to fortify with certain starchi
ness, but the geniune linens, never. One
should be careful to rinse the piece
thoroly in good, clean water and the
give, it plenty of light and air. I
should be ironed damp so as to get the
fine sheen characteristic of well-laund
ered linens. If linen is ironed dry or
nearly so it gets fuzzy.
It pays to take abundant time and
pains in the laundering of table linen.
For nothing except perhaps a fine horse
responds with equal rapidity to good
handling. There is a sheen and gloss
and a general well-groomed appearance
to properly laundered linens that is un
mistakable.
No linen will become yellow when
packed away if It is rough dried before
hand. It must have no starch in it and
should be folded without ironing. In
this condition it may be kept for years'
without showing the least sign of de
crepitude.
DRESSMAKERS' SUPERSTITIONS
There seems to be a rooted convic
tion amog dressmakers that if a dress
is sent home with even one basting
thread left in it by mistake it will
surely be returned ^for alterations. In
some establishments it is also believed
that putting ^a black pin instead of a
white one in a dress will surely cause
its return. If the maker of a wedding*
dress pricks her finger, so as to draw
blood while sewing on it, it is a bad
omen for the bride.
Such.superstitions die hard and are
akin to the saving that if the petti
coat comes,below the dress the wearer
loves her father better than her mother,
and if-an undergarment is inadvertent
ly, put on wrong side out and worn
so thru the day it will bring good luck
to the wearer. One may not really be
lieve such things, but, still their repe
tition keeps them alive and passes them
on to the younger generation.

MILLIONAIRE EXTRAVAGANCE.
OLA, in his youth, before fame came to him, wrote
some storieB about millionaires, wherein it seemed
to him that he exaggerated shamefully in his descrip
tions of the costly homes, and habits of the rich. But
later on, when Zola became a friend of millionaires,
he found that his accounts of their extravagance had
fallen far short of the truth.
In the same way, stories about the extravagance of
American millionaires that sound like exaggerations,
may also fall short of the truth. Here, for instance,
are some facts that an interior decorator of New York
supplied the other day. They sound extreme, but let
Zola be remembered:
A man bought for his hall twelve antique marble
columns at Pompeii. Finding he could only use eight
of the columns, he had the remaining four destroyed,
tho he was offered for them twice what he had paid.
He had paid $5,000 apiece.
Aubusson carpets, with a pile three inches thick, are
often made to order at a cost of $40 a yard. Such i
cost, tho, is nothing beside what is ordinarily paid for
antique rugs. They, measured by the yard, often cost
$500 or $600 a yard.
Chairs of ivory, inlaid with wood, are occasionally
sold at $500 apiece.
One millionaire's piano cost $150,000. A five-inch
'band of ivory, four years in carving, runs around the
case, which was decorated by Everett Shinn.
The gold and silver plate of one household requires
an expert to look after it. The man is a goldsmith,
and his salary is $2,000 a year.
Billiard rooms sometimes cost $50,000 to furnish.
The tables and cues are inlaid with iyory and gold.
Certain winesSchloss Johannisberg, for instance,
stamped with the crest of Prince Metternichare sold
at private sales tto millionaires for $40 and $50 a bottle.
Biding and driving horses cost $5,000 apiece.
Automobiles, of ninety or more horsepower, made
to order, will cost from $30,000 to $40,000. Some mill
ionaires keep a dozen or more automobiles, with a head
chauffeur at $4,000 or $5,000 a year salary, and two
or three assistants at $25 a week each.
Then there is the ocean-going yacht, which cannot
be maintained in the most modest way at a smaller
expenditure than $25,000.

CHANDLER GETS IT ON RECORD.
SHORT time since a lawsuit in whieh ex-Senator
W. E. Chandler Was much interested was being
tried at Concord, N. H., before Judge Edgar Aldrich
as referee. General Streeter, counsel for the Boston
& Mairfe railroad, was the lawyer opposed to Mr.
Chandler, and at this trial Mr. Chandler was an im
portant witness. The cross-examination by Mr.
Streeter wis long and somewhat severe^ and Mr. Chan*
dler felt that he was not fairly treated^ There were
several sharp altercations between them, and Judge
Aldrich informed Mr. Chandler that he was entitled
to explain or add to his testimony, if he wishes, after
he had answered Mr. Streeter's questions, Finally
Mr. Streeter, with some remark which Mr. Chandler
did not like, announced that the cross-examination
was ended. Thereupon- Mr. Chandler, turning to the
court, said:. "May I now add to my testimony what
I wish to say?" "Certainly," said the Judge. I
his most cool and cutting manner, and with great
deliberation, Mr. Chandler said: I have often had
occasion to say that-Mr. Streeter is neither by birth,
education, nor practice a gentleman, but I have never
before had the opportunity of testifying to this fact
under oath. I now avail myself of the opportunity
afforded me, that it may be part of the record in this
case."
PLATT'S LITTLE BAG OF DOLLARS.
HE stepdaughter of Senator Piatt, of New York,
was married a short time ago. The senator wanted
to give her, as one of his presents, $1,000 in gold.
He asked his secretary to go to the treasury and
get $1,000, newly minted and never used. The gold
was obtained and placed in a bag, tied with a ribbom
and sent to the capitol.
The senator was in his seat when the gold arrived.
It was sent in to him by a page. He examined tho
bag, tossed it back and forth in his hands a few
moments and then let it drop to the floor, thinking
to pick it up at once.
Something interrupted him, he forgot all about it
and went to his apartment. A few moments aft*r
Mr. Piatt left his secretary found the gold and put it
in the safe in the senator's committee room., He knew
the senator would ask about it sooner or later.
Next morning at 4 o'clock the secretary's telephony
bell rang. He got up sleepily and answered the call.
"Hello!" came over the wire. "Is that you,
Howe? Well, I wish you would go up to the senate
chamber right away and"see if you can find that $1,008
in gold. I dropped it up there and forgot all about
it
Howe told him he had it in the committee safe.
I am glad of it," said the senator. "It might
have kept me awake a few minutes thinking about it."
A CIGAR BOX FAME,
OON after David J. Brewer was elevated to thj
United States supreme court bench a Topeka
cigar dealer named a mild, free-drawing 10-cent cigar
in his honor, with a picture of "Our Justice" on tho
box. A few years ago the justice was in Topeka on.
a business trip. The hotel clerk recognized him and I
the negro bell boy, altho he had no idea who- tho
newcomer was, knew from the way he was ordered I
about that the patron was of some consequence. Go*
ing up in the elevator, the negro stared constantly
at the tall, dignified man. Suddenly the black faca
was wreathed in smiles, and the boy said: 'Scuse
me, Boss, but ain't you de gemmen dat invented den

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE'S CONFESSION.
N ORDER TO settle, once for all, the controversy
as to who wrote "What's the Matter with Kan-
sas?." William Allen White makes this confession:
"The article was really written by Alexander Dowis
as a musical comedy for Grover Cleveland and Lydia
E. Pinkham, who were thinking of going on the stage.
When the theatrical trust refused to stage the piece,
owing to its elaborate scenic requirements, the Ga
