The Times' Daily Short Story.
THE POISON MAIDEN
Original.
'India is a strange country, I fan
try," remarked an American to a Brit
ish officer in a London military club.
"You would think so if you spent as
much time there as I have."
"I have heard that the Indians'
knowledge of poisons would make the
Borgia s appear ignoramuses on the
subject."
The Britisher shuddered. The other,
seeing that he was affected by some re
membrance connected with poisons,
after an effort persuaded hltu to tell it
"Yes, it is a story of poison, a story
the main feature of which I would not
believe until 1 had been invalided
Lome and. looked it up in the Loudon
medical journals. Then, and not till
then, was I convinced.
"I was stationed In one of the inte
rior Indian posts where there was a
reigning prince who kept his position
by chicanery and where the priests
maintained their ascendency by the
same means. We had a little ensign
named Adani3 with us, a pretty, black
eyed boy who was brimful of deviltry.
One day the prince scut our colonel an
invitation for the officers to come up to
bis palace and have afternoon tea. We
all went, and after 'tea,' during which
some of us drank more wine than tea,
Adams especially, we were taken into
the private apartments where the wo
men were kept and suffered to mingle
with them quite freely, considering we
were in India and the home of an In
dian magnate. When we got back to
our quarters Adams confided to me
that ho had had an impromptu affair
with a young Indian girl; that he had
seized an opportunity when unobserved
to lead her into an apartment filled
with tropical plants and, concealed by
the enormous leaves of one of them,
had kissed her. Just as they were
leaving the apartment they heard a
rustle behind them, and the girl had
turned ghastly pale. In another min
ute tlicy had separated. This was all
there was of if; not very much, ono
would think, to worry about, but Ad
ams was much troubled, and I confess
I didn't like the proceeding myself.
" 'You are in no danger,' I said con
solingly. 'No Indian will be allowed
to take revenge on a British officer.'
. "It is for the girl I fear,' ho said
lugubriously.
" 'If you are discovered and the mat
ter is reported to the prince I think
he will show his malignity by- his fu
ture bearing toward us. Indeed he
may bring the matter before the colo
nel.' "'We shall see,' said Adams. 'Keep
dark. You're the only man I've told.
"No message came from the prince.
Indeed on a return visit he made to our
quarters by invitation cf the colonel he
bore himself with great friendliness.

have him especially presented. lie
chatted so affably with the youngster
that Adams felt sure he had had no in
timation of the meeting in the con
servatory. I saw them talking to
gether, and it se'incd to me that tha
wily Indian was looking down on'
Adams with a singular expression an
expression I did not exactly like.
"However, that seemed, to end the
matter, and I gradually forgot it.
Adams heard that the girl was In her
usual condition in the palace and
censed to worry about her. Then, when
we changed stations, ail suspicion that
Adams would have to suffer for his
indiscretion was removed. He was as
ready for another affair as before, and
only an opportunity was wanting.
"On arrlvl! vc at our new station the
native ruler of be province enter
tained us at his palace. I feared that
Adams might get into another scrape,
so I kept an eye on him. I tried to
tret him to promise me that he would
noW and especially that he wouldn't
drink any wine, for wine made his
Incautlon absolute recklessness. He
would promise nothing, and I knew
that there was such a fascination for
him in danger that I resolved to watch
bim all the closer. I never let hirn out
of my sight till a servant came to me
and told me the host wished especially
that I should be presented to him. I
left Adams in an apartment opening
into a dimly lighted garden, begging
him to remain where he was till I re
turned. This he promised to do. I
was presented to the liost, who de
tained me some time asking questions
about our artillery service, in which he
appeared to be much interested. As
soon as I could get away from him I
returned to the room where I had left
Adams. He was not there. Looking
into the garden I saw a patch of uni
form among the plants and followed
the man who wore it. Just before I
reached him I saw that be was Adams,
lie was leaning over a richly dressed
Indian girl. I hastened on, but be
fore I could Join them Adams turned
and their lips met in a kiss.
"I stood as if petrified. If they were
watched It would be too late for me
to save them. Adams seemed not in
clined to take his lips away. Presently
he sank slowly to the floor. I rushed
up to him. He was dead."
The narrator paused and took a long
sip from a glass of brandy and soda. 1
Then he finished his story:
"There was a sensation when I hur-j
ried to the colonel and reported what '
I had seen. We took the body to quar
ters, and the surgeon placed a piece of
paper dipped in some chemical agent
on the lips and reported that Adams
had been poisoned.
"Now comes what you will not be
lieve. The girl who kissed Adams was
a poison girl, fed on a certain poison
from birth till she was saturated with
it. She was in the service of the
prince whom Adams had offended."

Ex-President Writes a Few
Words to Fishermen.
DEIEXLS GOOD KAME OP AUGLEE5
Tell Those Who rinh la a "Fair,
Well Dred and Reasonable War"
Sot to C omplain When 1"IU Io ot
Bite (.ood Unit, Good Tackle aud
rieaty of Patience Xecet.arj
G rover Cleveland, whom anglers have
tome to regard as a dean in the school
of Izaak Walton, accepting- his words
as those of an authority, has written
an essay he entitles "A Word to Fish
ermen," which recently appeared in
the Independent. In part he says;
"Those of us who fish in a fair, well
bred and reasonable way, for the pur
pose of recreation and as a means of
increasing Ibe table pleasures of our
selves or our friends, may Well regret
the apparently unalterable decree
which gives to all those who fish, un
der the spur of any motive pood, bad
or indifferent the name of fishermen.
"We certainly have nothing in com
mon with those who fish for a liveli
hood, unless it be a desire to catch fish.
We have, in point of fact, no closer rela
tionship than this with the murderously
Inclined, whose only motive in fishing Is
to make large catches and whose sole
pleasure In the pursuit Is the gratifica
tion of a greedy propensity. Neverthe
less we and those with whom we have
so little sympathy are, by a sort of un
avoidable law of gravitation, classed
together in the same fraternity and
called fishermen.
"At this season, when the activities
of genteel fishing usually begin, it is
fitting that a word should be spoken
that may not only redound to our com
fort and satisfaction, but may guard
us against temptations that easily be
set even the best of fishermen.
"We who claim to represent the high
est fishing aspirations are sometimes
inclined to complain on days when the
fish refuse to bite. There can be no
worse exhibition than this of an entire
misconception of a wise arrangement
for our benefit.
"If on days when we catch few or ho
fish we fixd symptoms of disappoint
ment these should immediately give
w-ay to satisfaction when we remember
how many spurious and discouraged
fishemcn are spending their time in
hammocks or under trees or on eolf
fields instead of with fishing outfits
solely on account of just such unfavor
able days. Wo have no assurance that
if fish could be easily taken at all times
the fishing waters within our reach
would not be depopulated, a horrible
thing to contemplate. Let it not be
said that such considerations as these
savor of uncliaritableness and selfish
ness on our part. We tire only recog
nizing the doctrine of the survival of
the fittest as applied to fishermen aud
claiming that these 'fittest' should have
the best chance.
"Occasionally weak attempts have
been made to classify the be-st of this
fraternity under the name of anglers
or some title of that kind, but such
efforts have always failed. Even Izaak
Walton could not change the current
of human thought by calling his im
mortal book 'The t'oinpleat Angler.'
So it si-eujs, however much those who
fish may differ iu social standing, in
disposition and character, in motive
and ambition and even in mode of op
eration, all must abide to the end of
the chapter in the contemplation of the
outside world within the brotherhood
called 'fishermen.' Happily, however,
this grouping of incongruous, elements
under a common name does not pre
vent those of us who properly appre
ciate the importance of upholding the
respectability of decent fishing from
coming to an agreement concerning
certain causes of congratulation and
certain rules of conduct.
"What Juis been said naturally leads
to the suggestion that consistency re
quires those of us who are right mind
ed fishermen to reasonably, limit our
selves as to the number of fish we
should take on favorable days. On no
account should edible fish be caught in
such quantities as to be -wasted. By
restraining ourselves in this matter we
discourage iu our own natures the
growth of greed, we prevent wicked
waste, we make it easier for us to bear
the fall between what we may deter
mine upon as decent good luck and bad
luck or no luck, and we make ourselves
at nil points better men and better
fishermen.
"We ought not to forget these things
os we enter upon the pleasures of our
summer's fishing. But in any event let
us take with us when we go out good
tackle, good bait and plenty of pa
tience. If the wind is in the sotith or
West so much the better, but let's go,
wherever the wind may be. If we
catch fish we shall add zest to our rec
reation. If we catch none we shall
still have the outing and the recrea
tionmore healthful and more enjoy
able than can be gaiued in any other
way."
The uilc-Ieas Man.
W. W. Black, head critic of the Chi
cago Normal school, is in trouble be
cause he has never been known to
smile, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. Several young teachers
have requested 1he school board to re
move him, and the sole reason given Is
that he never smiles and therefore is
unsympathetic.

Climb Bolivia's Mountain.

tempted to lte.K'U It Summit, but
Failed Famous SnU Gnide One of
the Expedition.
Miss Annie S. Peck is a nervy little
American woman of lofty ambitions.
She also holds the world's record, for
women at least, as a mountain climber.
Not satisfied with climbing the highest
mountain in North America, Mount
Orizaba in Mexico, she is now going to
try to scale the highest mountain la
South America, Mount Sorata, says the
Boston Globe.
Miss Feck arrived In Boston recently
from -New York and is completing ar
rangements for her expedition to South
America, which will leave New York
June 10. The exp dition will consist
of herself, Dr. W. G. Tight of the Uni
versity of New Mexico and two Swiss
guides. One of them is the famous
Antoine Maqnignaz.
In a conversation with Miss Feck she
said she had climbed the Matterhorn
and several other mountains la Europe,
Mount Orizaba, Mount Popocatepetl
and Mount Toluca iu Mexico. Mount
Shasta in Washington, Clouds Best in
the Yosemite, and she makes the as
tounding statement that she crossed
the Presidential range in the White
mountains in one day.
The task which she has set herself
this time, however, promises to eclipse
all of her former efforts in mountain
climbing. She proposes to scale Mount
Sorata in Bolivia, which is said to be
25,0k) feet above sea level, making it
the highest peak on the American con
tinent so far discovered.
Miss Feck says Professor Pickering
of Harvard, who established the as
tronomical observatory at Areijuipa,
Peru, which is about 200 miles from
Mount Sorata believes the mountain
to be 25,000 feet high, although the
mountain has never been triangulated
or measured. Sir Martin Conway, a fa
mous English mountain climber, at
tempted to reach the summit of Sorata
several years ago, but failed. Miss
Feck feels confident that she will suc
reed, as the season will be more favor- j
able when she will attempt it than !
when Sir Martin Conway attempted it. i
She will undertake it in the dry season,
while he made his attempt during the
wet season.
Miss Feck expects to arrive at Mo!
lerido, a ' Peruvian port, by July 11.
She will go by rail to Arequipa, where
she will spend some days examining
the Harvard observatory there and
get all the information she can about
Mount Sorata. She will visit El Misti,
where Professor S. Q. Bailey of Con
cord, N. II., has established the lof
tiest meteorological station in the
world, 10,300 feet above sea level.
Here she expects to get much in
formation In regard to weather condi
tions which will be of value to her.
She expects td spend a week on the
summit of El Misti.
She will go by rail to Lake Titicacn,
which is the highest lake in the world,
t an altitude of 13,000 feet. She
crosses Titieaca in a steamer and
then begins the journey on horseback
with the camping outfit to Mount So
rata, about eighty miles north. She
proposes to take some Indians who
know the country Into the expedition
at this point.
Of course, when the base of the
mountain is reached It is probable that
an altitude of 14,000 feet will already
have been attained, so that will leave
about 11,000 feet to climb. Miss Peek
says she proposes to do about 2,000
feet a day until the snow line is
reached, which is about 5,000 feet, she
understands, from the summit. Each
day observations and photographs will
be taken by herself and Professor
Tight, who is an all round scientist.
Miss Teck will confine her attention
largely to photographic work and
barometric observations. She has had
a special barometer made for the pur
pose. Professor Tight will look after
the geology, topography, fauna and
flora and other things.
r
I'
I

k
When the snow line is reached, a
camp will be pitched and a favorable
opportunity awaited to make t dash
for the summit. This she hopes to ac
complish in one day and return to
camp. She also hopes that the moun
tain will not prove to be 25,( feet
high.
This last dash to the summit will of
course be the feature of the ascent.
Here is where the work will come in
for the Swiss guides,, who can run up
walls like files. The trouble in this
case is that there is no former experi
ence to go by. All is mystery about the
region above the snow line. It will be
something like Peary's dash for the
pole, and, by the way, Lieutenant
Peary has advised Miss Peck to wear a
fur suit during this try for the summit.
Her mountain climbing costume is
unique and consists of a sweater, loose
trousers, kuickerbockers, alpine shoes
and hat. She also carries an ice nick
aud a rope.
1 Miss Peck is very confident she will
succeed. She then proposes to return
to Arequipa and again visit Mount
Chacani. on the slone of which 1s the
Ilarvard observatory. This mountain
is 20,000 feet above the sea level, and
there is a tradition. Miss Peek savs.
that on its summit are the remains of
a pygmy city. This she proposes to in
vestigate, a.d if it is so she will do a
little archwological investigatingamong
the ruins.
ELECTRIC SPARKS.
Artetnley, a Russian electrician, has
Invented a pliable coat of mail which
effectively protects against currents of
150,000 volts.
An electric search light of 100,000
candle power will render print visible
at a distance of twenty miles. The
experiment has been tried from the
top of Mount Washington, in New
Hampshire.
A transmission system Invented by
Frofessor Bedell furnishes electricity
for both light and power simultaneous
ly over the same wire in spite of tha
fact that lighting requires a high and
power a low frequency of vibrations.
For the one the system is single and
for the other polyphase.
STATE LINES.
Massachusetts has 1,899 prisoners

Wisconsin has paid Its state debt,
which was but $2,500,000, In full.
Montana has produced in copper

gold $2S2,000,000.
"Humbnsr."
"Humbug" Is a corruption of Ham
burg. In an old time continental war
many false reports came from Ham
burg. Thus it camo about that when
any ono was incredulous he would say
"That came from Hamburg," or "That

came "humbug."

YOUR MONEY RETURNED
If Hyomct Does Not Cure You of Ca
tarrh, Say Fickcrt & Wdls.
In advertising that thf-y will refund the
money to anyone purchasing a llyomei
outfit who can say that it has done "them
no good In the treatment of catarrh, Fiek
ert iSc Wells mean exactly what this guar
antee gays.
Of course the percentage of cures by
llyomei is nearly one hundred or else thev
could not afford to make this unusual of
fer. But if the treatment nhould not be
adapted to your ease there will be no ques
tions or quibbling when you go to get
your money.
That the beginning of catarrh is due to
the presence of germs in the air passages
is now admitted by every physician. It
stands to reason that catarrh cannot be
cured Unless these germs are first destroy
ed. The llyomei treatment kills the ca
tarrh germs even in the minutest air cells,
soothes and heals the irritated mucous
membrane and makes complete and last
ing cures in eases that have resisted the
usual methods of treatment.
Catarrh cannot be cared by medicines
administered through the stomach. lly
omei is the only natural method and it has
made cures that seem miraculous. An
outfit costs but el. 00 and consists of an in
haler which will last a lifetime and suffi
cient llyomei for more than a month's
treatment. Additional bottles of llyomei
can be procured for 50e.
Kickert fc Wells give their personal
guarantee with every Hyomei outtit they
sell to refund the money if it does not
cure. There is no risk whatever to the
purchaser of llyomei.

Miss Alice Roosevelt used her new

time the other day, riding in it to the
station to take a train for Albany, says
a Washington special to the New York
World. The . $2,500 machine was
brought to the White House by a
chauffeur, but on the trip to the station
Miss Roosevelt herself occupied the
driver's position and guided the auto.
Captain Cow lea and Miss Roosevelt's
maid were passengers.
Miss Roosevelt's brief trip was ex
citing because of a fire alarm. She
was going down the avenue at a mod
erate snood when she found herself be
ing overtaken by fire engines, hook
and ladder trucks and water towers.
She did not lose her nerve. In front of
the post office she made a slight d-'
tour. She heard clanging bells directly
back of her and In a moment a huge
truck rushed past. As she swung her
machine back into the middle of the
street a water tower came dashing
along. Again Miss Roosevelt skillfully
ran her auto out of the course of the
plunging horses.
