It ran as fol lows: Topeka, Kan., May 10, 18— Mr. and Mrs. Fred Saunders, Arkansas City. All the officials of the Santa Fe com pany Join in warmest congratulations, with the sincere prayer that the new lives you to-day begin may never be «hadowed by a cloud of care. While we secret the loss of the valued services •our little heroine of Red Rock, we glean satisfaction from the fact that we "will yet hold her husband, and will also feel that Bhe, "Why did I never marry? Well, I'll "tell you." The little crowd of listeners looked interested as Col. Wiley, the handsome •white haired bachelor, settled back in Iiis chair, as if to more comfortably xreiate the story of his escape fram mat rimony. "I was very much in love, but you -would know that when I tell you that rshe was as fair and lovely a girl as •liese Virginia skies ever looked down upon. A true southerner,she was loyal 'to her state and was proud to say that 'her ancestors were among the F. F.

"Her name was Lucy, a good, old fashioned name that we southerners still eherlsh, and do not change to the more airy Lucile, as do our northern neighbors.

I first had to win their friendship before get ttlng anywhere near being even a mere acquaintance with Lucy. When the war broke out both brothers were filled with the enthusi asm of the battlefield, and by constant illusions to their bravery, and adroit carefully worded remarks concerning their excellent appearance in the uni ifonms of the confederate gray, I soon won them completely over. As for Tiuey, she regarded me with suspicion for some time, but suffice to say that when I marched away into the fire and •thunder of Shiloh a little golden curl, locket enclosing the photograph of a pretty girl, and a Bible, her gifts, were mmgty and carefully tucked away in the fining of my coat.

Their father, a strong minded, stubborn, aris tocratic old follow, had positively for bidden an engagement or even com tptanttfttton of any sort.

Then came the usual uncertainties, suspicions and jealousies that so frequently disturb loye's young dream and bring despair to youthful lovers. "It was this way: Our first lieuten ant was a dashing young officer, as fearless as a young lion and so hand some that the privates soon dubbed him 'Master Prettyboy.' We were cleaning our muskets one day, prepar atory to the morrow's fight, when Mas ter Prettyboy came strolling along and paused near us, saying to Jim, Lucy's brother: 'I received a charming letter from your sister today. She sent her love to you two boyB and asked me to tell her how far you both ran at the first fight.' "That night I went to Jim and asked him if the first lieutenant and his sister had long been friends. 'They played 3, together when ba bies,' he answered. 'Sis thinks a heap of him.' "That was enough. From that hour my visions of sweet Lucy were blur red with the mist of insincerity and faithfulness. To be sure, we were not engaged, but we understood, and our eyes had asked and answered the ques tions which our lips were forbidden to speak. "My love-life—as Ibsen calls it—died one day when the first lieutenant, beaming and smiling, hailed Lucy's brother with: 'Congratulate me, old boy she says she'll have me.' "Well.the war ended—as you all have perhaps heard ere this, although some of our inossbacks here in the moun tains refuse to believe it. When Lee surrendered I was the superior officer of the handsome first lieutenant, whom I hated and envied with equal passion. I came out of the army with a cruel wound in my shoulder, and it was months before I came back to this part of the country, where I had found and loved and won my pretty Lucy. "The old-time scenes and associations (although the war had brought many grievous changes) seemed to open my emotions anew, and one Sunday I de cided to go to her. "I had gone perhaps half the way when I came to a switch on which stood a dilapidated locomotive. An I LOVE YOU,. DEAR." engineer and his assistant were en deavoring to polish its rusty wheels and boiler. They were discussing the pros and cons of matrimony. 'Tnere's no use in talkin',' said one there's mighty little sincerity in wom en.' 'That's true,' reiterated the other, went to the war engaged to the sweetest girl you ever clapped eyes on, but when I came back she was mar ried to a cowardly cur that never saw the smoke of a musket.' "So I was not the only one, I thought. I retraced my steps, boarded a train, and a month later was digging a gold mine in the Grand Canon of Colorado. 'Years later I was at the depot at Denver awaiting a train to take me back east, and was much surprised to find myself face to face with Lucy's brother Jim. "That night we talked over old times as we smoked our cigars and let memory drift back to the exciting days of '64. I thought of the dashing first lieutenant and casually asked: 'And whatever became of Pretty boy?' 'Why, didn't you know?' he re plied. 'He married my sister Kather ine 'Your—sister—Katherine?* I gasp- ed. 'I—I never knew you had any sis ter but Lucy.' 'She's a half-sister. My father was married twice, and Katherine always lived with her grandparents. Say, by the way,' he added, 'we thought at one time that you were rather smitten with Lucy.' "You can imagine my eagerness to reach onee more dear old Virginia. How beautiful the dusty old town look ed as Jim and I sprang from the train and almost ran down the stret toward his old home! Our footsteps sounded loud and drear as we walked across the porch and Jim opened the door. Jim tramp ed along the hall shouting and laugh ing and asking if the place were de serted. "Then his mother, bent and gray and her once beautiful face furrowed with lines, came Boftly toward us. She fell into Jim's arms, sobbing as she did so. 'It was thoughtless for me to come without telling you beforehand,' he said. 'I might have known it would upset you.' "She but sobbed the more and could not speak. Then she took Jim's hand, and I following, led us to an upstairs room and gently pushed the door ajar. '"She died but an hour ago,' the mother said, but I heard as if In a dream. Then going to a table she took up some letters,, ap0«-. trembling and sobbing, handed thinfto me. saying as she did so:' 'Lucy teft 'tieee. She said there was one for you/ 1 W M&l A COOK TYPEWRITER. The New York Commercial gives the following account of a wonderful adaptation of the typewriter to the purposes of cipher code work, which has been made by George C. Blickens derfer of Stamford, Conn.: For hun dreds of years the brightest minds of all civilized countries have been working to perfect a cipher code that could not be solved, and at the same time might be readily translated. This government has spent thousands of dollars to perfect each of the various codes used by the different depart ments, and yet what has been spent by this country is very small compared with the vast sums spent by European governments to obtain cipher systems which would defy the ingenuity of the sharpest spies in the world. Probably the most complicated code used by the United States is the naval code, and the secret of this code is guarded as nothing else is guarded. All the code books for the use of officers are bound In lead so that in case of possible ac cident or capture they can be thrown overboard. When the Maine was sunk at Havana the whole naval department was in a state of the wildest alarm until a diver found the code book in the captain's cabin. During all the Chi nese troubles there was a constant fear lest the Chinese government had ob tained a copy of Minister Conger's code and was translating his messages. The government codes are so compli cated that when a message is received it takes hours of work to m^ke a trans lation of it, and yet with all the pre cautions that can be taken, there Is always the possibility that they may be a slip some place and that the code may fall into outside hands. Very soon, however, the old clum sy codes used by the different govern ments and the cipher codes of com merce will be largely a thing of the past. A simple littite typewriter—the most simple ever made, and at the same time the most wonderful—will caiise all the lead-covered books to be heaved into the sea and revolutionize the method of transmission of all mes sages which must be secret. The won derful new machine is the invention of George C. Blickensderfer, and it is the result of nine years' constant work and study. In his office at Stamford, Conn., the inventor showed the machine to be a representative of the Commercial. Mr. Blickensderfer spelled out on the machine, according to the letters on the outside dial: "This is a sample of. the cipher code work." Upon the paper in the machine this appeared: Then, without changing the pegs, but. simply changing the indicator on the back of the first dial to another let ter on the second dial, he wrote the same thing and this is what appeared on the paper: "Dttd ni trhjec rx bzv cidpkj z. th ruuvb." Then, adjusting the machine as it had been, he repeated the meaningless list of letters and upon the paper appeared: "This is a sample of the cipher code work." BIGGEST BASKET STEB MADE. The squaws of Indians are, noted for the. skill with which they manufacture baskets with various materials, suit able for almost any purpose, always strong and pretty to look at. Here is a photograph of the biggest basket ever made by one of these women. It is called the "Peera Vassom," and was made by a squaw of the Pima tribe, living at Phoenix, Ariz., It is made of rope or cylindrical bands of wheat straw about an inch in diameter. The E2 Mlllfl ivJ&mlir ss® '%4' Kui- THE BASKET. coils of rope are held together by strips of tough willow bark. The flat bottom of this basket was made first, upon which the ingenious squaw then ?sat and built up the walls with the coils of rope and strips of bark. It is four feet high, and the inside diameter at the bottom Tf the basket is four feet eight inches. It weighs seventy-five pounds and will hold eight bushels of grain hat a lin« or two—simply 'I did -llWfTJjTWe'orfiMhental work that is clever forgs}, and I hare waited 'patiently, I love you, dear.'"—Chicago Stars. The photograph will repay a little more attention, for it gives a pretty glimpse of an Indian family at home. In order to convey a better idea of the Bize of the basket the husband of this happy family kindly got Into it. It will be noticed that he left his bow and avrows outside whilst he did so. He is a handsome type of his kind, and' has taken pains to bedeck him aelf with ornaments. The head-gear Is rather striking. It consists of a band of dried deerskin, studded with the claws of a grizzly hear. The good Indian's wife Is seated by the side of the. basket, and~ is busily engaged In •weaving another baisket.

In sections of the country where to bacco is grown one of the chief trou bles to contend with is the tobacco moth, and the apparatus shown in the cut has been designed especially to combat this pest, as well as to destroy other Insects which move about at night. It is well known that moths and other insects are attracted by a light shining out of the darkness, and It is this fact that William Hill Morgan of Kentucky, makeB use o! In his trap, which consists of a light Inclosed In a metallic hood and provided with a reflector and glass face, the latter be ing set in a slanting position. The lamp is attached to one edge of the tray containing a mixture of kero sene oil and water, and the angle of the glass in front of the light causes DESIGNED TO KILL, INSECTS, the insects to fall into the liquid when they strike against the smooth sur face. With a number of these traps set at the sides of afield a short dis tance above the plants the inventor claims that the injurious moths and other insects will exterminate them selves without the trouble of searching for them. MODERN SOAP BUBBLES. When great scientists drop their dignity and resume the sport of child hood they are apt to introduce some improvement. This has been done in the boyish pastime of blowing soap bubbles. Some English physicist took up the matter, and found that the youngsters were right in preferring clear honey soap to other kinds for making bubbles. The true reason lay in the fact that the- favorite soap con tained a trifle more glycerine than oth er popular brands. A number of ex periments disclosed the proportion of glycerine in soap in order to obtain the best results. With this combination the gray-haired scientists blew bub bles two and three feet in diameter, and one of them is said to have had a wild enthusiastic audience of little children, who sat watching him for an hour or more. The investigations have utilized by several enterprising soap-boilers, who now turn out soap-bubble soap. With this a three-year-old can make bubbles as large as' himself. Not only are the iridescent spheres large than usual, but they last longer. When launched carefully from the end of the pipe they will float from two to three times as long as do those made from ordinary soaps. A very pretty experiment is to blow a bubble with cigar or cigarette smoke instead of the natural breath. The glycerine gives a play of rainbow color on the surface of the bubble, and the space within being rendered opaque by the cigar fumes, the entire effect is that of a giant pearl floating In the air. If a few drops of any essential oil, such as violet, clove, or geranium, is stirred into the lather the particles will be separated, and, on account of the soap and glycerine, will not segre gate upon the surface, as they do on water. A bubble blown under these circumstances comminutes the drops of oil to almost inconceivable small ness, and when the bubble finally breaks the oil is sprayed in every di rection more finely than by the best atomizer. A single large bubble launch ed In this way will fill a parlor or drawing room with an invisible film of perfume, which will last for twenty .ftrar hours. THE SIBERIAN FISHERIES Fishing is one of the leading indus tries on the eastern coast of Siberia, and on account of the rigor of the cli mate and the poverty of th® soil in some parts of" the Aihur country, it Is the only means of obtaining food. Many of the Russian settlers moving into that region are compelled! to take up fishing for a livelihood. Fortunate ly, in a place where they are so sore ly needed, fish are extremely abundant, and the sea along the coast teems with them. The gathering of seaweed is another important Industry of eastern Siberia, but is carred on almost ex clusively by the Chinese. '•%:xI Movable, Eleetrlo Platform.

KM sgf A determined attempt is now being made In Paris to, spread the use of an "international or auxiliary lan guage" in order to aid travelers, mer chants, scientists and' other persons 'Who find themselves placed temporar ily In a country where they do not understand the national speech. This attempt recalls that made some years ago Jn favor of "Volapuk," which still has its advocates, but which has, on the whole, proved an ignominious fail ure on account of its complexity.Some have thought' that the English lan guage would become the common tongue of the world, but It Is a well known fact that the so-called Eng lish language Is a mixture of many languages. The auxiliary language now being pushed forward in the French Academle des Sciences and by other organizations which are con vinced of its practicability and event ual efficacy, is called "Esperanto" (the corrupted gerundive hinting at Its de sirability), and is the invention of a Russian, Dr. Zamenhoff, who says that the language is so simply con structed as to be readily understood with only a dictionary to aid the stu dent. That is—Esperanto has no grammar, a fact which, to begin with, can hardly be considered as anything but an undiluted blessing. The Mar quis de Beaufront, who has spent the last ten years in trying to further the interest of the language, is now ex plaining them twice a week to audi ences composed of the members of the "Touring Club de France," which claims to be the most extensive cycl ing organization in the world, and' which includes some 800 Americans in its membership. Learning English, German or Italian is the work, more OT less, of a life-time learning Es peranto is the effort of haif a day. M. couturat, a well-known young philol ogist and philosopher at Paris has in terested himself greatly in the scheme, and is the head of a delegation which ha? just presented an address to the president of the Acad'emie de& Sciences asking that this body delib erate with all gravity and seriousness on the question of lending its weight and authority tcr the spread of the common language M.. Coutrat said: 'Civilization demands the existence of such a common and easy medium of communication between different peoples. All philosophers^ includ ing Bacon,. Pascal Descartes, Leibnitz, Locke, Condillac, Dide rot, Volney and Ampere,, have agreed that this is so, and' some of them, for example, Leibnitz have tried to supply the need, when Latin grew out of the question on account of the time required to learn it and its natural inflexibility for the practical purposes of our age. Volapuk misera bly failed a dozen years ago. It was not constructed scientincally. Esperanto on the contrary, has not had -to be "in vented' at all. It has grown gradually out of the growth of modern lan guages. There are already a multi plicity of scientific terms and others common now to so many languages that an 'international vocabulary' may already be said to exist.
