A SI.AXlHtn KKFU1KU. Some of the wise men Hay that women have no sense of humor, but there are women In San Francisco who think dif ferently. These women have organized a club whose purpose is to cheer und amuse. 'i ney are going to laugh as much as they consistently can. The story, the joke and the conundrum wi not be considered undignified. The first meeting of the club has been held and it was described as "a hilarious sue cess." To keep up the Interest prizes are offered for tve most amusing and laugh-creating originality, and penal ties for those who originate gross stories or try to pass off cribbed jokes as original. This club has applied for admission to the Federation of: Women's Clubs to be held In Los Angeles next month, and it ought to be abundantly admitted. A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men and it ought to be relished by the wisest women too. HOT A IIOOJ) JXVI-SIM T. Some of the economical people The Iew York health department is Instituting a crusade against the popu lar "headache cures." Doctors have found that while some of these reme dies are harmless and even beneficial, others are worthless and even danger ous. Many of them contain acentane lid, a drug that is low priced, but so potent in its action on the heart that a five grain dose might be dangerous even fatal to a person affected with "heart trouble. It is said that the head ache cure, habit is especially prevalent among working girls and women. A number of Indianapolis grocers who have for years conducted a meat busi ness have discontinued the sale of beef i, end beef products and notified their customers that they will not resume the trade urytil there is a' substantial re- ;" duction In prices. Several butcher shops not connected with grocers have also closed and have refused to "buy from the packers, giving as a reason :" that they are losing money because of i "'-'high prices. A movement has been Started among the butchers to buy ; their own cattle on the hoof and do : their own slaughtering. of Missouri don't think that Charles May, who moved into their State from Kan sas about the first of the year 1896, has proved a good investment. He has been twice condemned to die for murder, and is now confined in the Buchanan county jail at St. Joseph awaiting a second trial for the murder of Robert Martin near DeKalb in December, 1900. The tragfdy of Sugar Creek church, cf Feb ruary 9, 189G, which resulted in tha death of William I. Burdette, of that vicinity, led to two trials. In the first Charles May was convicted -of murder and sentenced to be hanged. The sec ond trial resulted in his conviction for assault, with a term cf two years in the penitentiary. The cost of these trials wa.s $2,275.53, including May's board while in jail. The trial which re sulted in his conviction a year ago cost $583.20. This does not include board, which, at forty cents a day pince his Incarceration, amounts to $'.'00. If to these sums is added $600, the probable cost of the second trial for the murder of Robert Martin, w hich will be 'held at the June term of the criminal court and an allowance made for the cost of appeals to the Supreme court, It is fig ured that this man has cost the State in the neighborhood of $4,000 since es tablishing his residence in Missouri. Of course May isn't worth $4,000, bu Missouri he.s got off cheaply compare with what similar citizens have cost some States. Murder trials must be cheap In Missouri if they can have them for about $1,000 apiece. New York ha murder trials which cost a quarter of million. nnivhilaoo lu fror,ii,itl nitmv tilllPS UUL ' Seats aWaV Il'Om tile greater than their requirements.

Brooklyn Life. Wife There's something queer about that woman who has just moved next door. , before Elkins had completed a canvas ' of the House for his Statehood measure, and found the democratic members dis posed to help bim outw ith it. He had pledges from enough of them to assure , favorable action. He listened to the speech of Burrows. Burrows waxed j eloquent. Elkins grew interested. Bur i rows grew pathetic in the pictures he drew of negro oppresion in the South. Klklns waxed sympathetic. Elkins leaned forward in his seat and devoured the Mich.lga.nder with Is eyes. The Mlchigandtr, noting the attention of. his colleague, addressed himself almost di rectly to Elkins In the brilliant, poetic peroration. The chamber was silent, and as the last words of Burrows rang against Its historic walls B.nd Burrows had finished, Elkins jumped to his feet and, grasping Burrows' hand, shook it with enthusiasm, congratulating him on his speech. Not a member but saw the action and realized its spontaneous sincerity. Not a. democrat but saw the action and de termined not to vote for Elkins' Mi. He had hardly recovered from the spell of oratory and settled back In his seat be fore notes began arriving from the democratic side asking that he alter his canvas of the House and omit the writ ers from his poll of those favorable to statehood. From the St. - Louis Globe-Democrat; Best of All Goes into the Common Lot. Not long ago a convict in a French penal colony who was serving a life sentence there desired to marry one of the women convicts and made applica lion to the authorities for the necessary permission. The governor of the col ony offered no objection, but the priest proceeded to cross-examine the pris oner. "Did you not marry in France? , he asked. "Yes." "And your wife Y dead?" "She is." "Have you any doc ument to show that she is dead?" "No." "Then I must decline to marry you. You must produce some proof that your wife is dead." There was a pause, and the bride prospective looked at the would-be groom. Finally he said: "I can prove that my former wife is dead." "How will you do so? ''I was sent here for killing her." The bride accepted him notwithstanding. , One of the most peculiar ancestral portraits ever painted is in the posses sion of one of the heirs of the last Due de Laval-Montmoreney, of France, who - died In 1851. The picture dates from the time of Louis XIV., and represents the ancestor of the Montmorencys look lng from a window of his palace upon a broad sheet of water, upon which floats Noah's ark. By the open door stands a servant in the Montmorency livery, whose gesture serves to announce that M. Noah begs to present his respects to M. le Due. This picture was painted by the order of a Montmorency, to whom the well-attested age of his illustrious family did not seem sufficient. The founder of the house, according to tra dition, lived in the third century, was 'converted to Christianity by St. Dio fiyBius, and died a martyr. Representative Charles Thompson of the Tuskegee (Alabama) district will take twenty leading Republican con gressmen on a week's visit to his plan tation home in Macon county, Alabama, leaving Washington May 20.

I France'." experience with her Congo colony isn't encouraging to countries which have tropical colonies. The French tired of voting large sums fo the preservation of order in the French Congo, and so the Chamber was glad to adopt the Belgian system of conces sions as the cheapest way out of the difficulty. No sooner were the conces sionaiiesi well established than the government began to reduce the num ber of militia, claiming that the own err, of concessions should guard their own property. They did, and the re suit is that the natives have become ex asperated at the methods employed to enforce what the concessionaries claim are their rights. At first there were only little outbreaks here and there, but recently all the station? along the Sangha river have been looted and all the officials, both European and native, of the concessionaries murdered. This great territory of France In Africa cov ers an area of some 450,000 square miles, or more than twice the area of France itself, while it has a native population of some 10.000,000 or 12,000,000. It has never been profitable to Fiance, and there is to this time need of a grant from the coffers of the republic to make up yearly deficits. When prac tically the whole French Congo wai turned over to the trading companies which were granted the concessions it was thought that there would be some relief from this constant drain, but un der the rule of the concessionaries con ditions have become worse than they were before. It is to be hoped that our Philippines will turn out better than the French Congo has. Probably they will, because we are much smarter than the French. I MICA VA 11 A XT KVSSIAXH. Some of the Rursians don't seem to be any sharper than some other folks are. A Russian Admiralty order remarks that the commanders of vessels of the Pacific squadron are accustomed to purchase at exceedingly high prices In Japanese ports large quantities of ma terial of which reserves are kept by the Admiralty at Vladivostok and Port Ar thur. It instances the case of a com mander who last year paid 18 rubles a pood for oil at Nagasaki at a time when for the very same quality of oil the Volunteer fleet was only paying 4 rubles 80 copecks, and when oil could be ob tained from the depots at the Russian ports for 1 ruble 65 copecks and 2 rubles 35 copecks a pood. The same officer also bought large quantities of other provisions at extravagant prices. The commanders, moreover, frequently buy stores at the ports of call, especially in the Mediterranean, instead of from the J depots at Kronstadt, before they leave , for the far East.

According to the Velo, the cyclist's fondest wish Is now fulfilled. The ideal non-puncturable tire has been discov ered. The inventor took an air cham ber of his devisng to the office of the newspaper, and there, in the presence of the amazed editor and his equally astounded staff, planted naedlea, thorns, tin tacks, and two-inch nails Into the tube without producing the slightest deflation of the latter. The Invention is an application of the properties of compressed India rubber, which, when pierced, adheres so closely around the object causing the puncture as not to allow any escape of air to occur. This material has been used before. But the originality of the present Invention ap pears to be the discovery of a pracltcal and simple method, first of attaching a band of the muterial In question to the chamber, and, secondly, of keeping it in place and maintaining it in its state of compression. The air tube is con structed as follows: The tread is of compressed India rubber, fixed be tween strips of Inextensible canvas in side and out. It is claimed that all danger of bursting is removed, while punctures are rendered harmless. A nail traversing the outer canvas, the compressed rubber, and the Inner strip of the former material, cannot pierce a hole through which air can pass, as the India rubber expands and fills up the hole. If ad rop of India rubber solu- ion be poured into the place of the puncture the latter is still more secure ly sealed up. If all that is said of the invention be true there ought certainly to be jubilation among cyclists, as the new air chamber, while Impervious to punctures and not liable to bursting, is tated to be as resilient and as fast as ny ordinary tube.

Senator Patterson declares that a hand-shake once prevented Statehood or New Mexico, and he does not hesi tate to tell just how and when. Sen ator Elkins administered the fimd- hake, and Senator Burrows of Miehi- an was the possessor of the hand haken. Elkins is Senator from West irglnia and Burrows from Michigan. but at the time they were members of he House, it was in the Forty-third Congress. Elkins, though born In Ohio, was reared and educated In Missouri, and is a graduate of the State univer sity. After he graduated he went to New Mexico to practice law, and It was not so very long before he was sent as the delegate In the Congress of the Ter ritory. ElkinR was younger then than lie is now. but he showed signs of that talent for the management of men and affairs which has since made him a wealthy man and one of the quiet though powerful influences in the Sen ate. He got up a statehood bill and had great success with it in the Senate end of the Capitol. He. felt sure he would be able to get it approved in the House of Representatives.

Place Their Most Treas ured Chef d'oeuvres under the Hammer. Price Traditions Smashed in the Process, and Bidders are Obtaining Stupendous Bargains at the Daily Auc tion Sale. The regret caused by inability to purchase a favorite bit of art per haps in ware or in other handiwork of sterling character, is often experienced by persons whose artistic ambitions are circumscribed by their paucity of purse. For years there have been (tempta tions to set prudence and rainy day tofcbodings aside, in a tour of the de lightful rooms in the George H. Ford Ci. store, and many times the tempta tion has been resisted with the com promise that the tempted one takes a longing look at the forbidden fruit and departs in hope that some day. when his ship comes in, he may be able to buy the coveted treasure. The announcement of the auction sale of stock gave an impetus to past hesitancy and the visits were renewed, with renewed hope. Under these cir cumstances, much as the company might deem it advisable to withhold ( from the sale its bst things, that withholding was impossible. Daily Inquiries were made for this or that article of known excellence, ex clusiveness and value, and these in quiries were eotrpled with requests that the chef d'oeuvre be cast in lo the com mon lot to take its auction chance. This has been done, and at the dally sales a number of the very best pieces In stock are put tinder the hammer, and at the prices they are bringing are stu pendous bargains. SHOE FOR WOMEN.
