The I.Hlent Sport In TarU.
Balloon chasing in automobiles U the
latest a liniseuient In Purls, says the
New York World. The initial race was
run a few days ago, when four bal
, loons sailed away, followed by a dozen
automobiles. The fun was fast and
furious below and aloft until a sudden
change of the wind altered the course
of the .balloons, leaving the baffled
automobilists in perplexity. Nothing
daunted, they chased about In all direc
tions, two of them finally sighting one
balloon on the horizon and arriving
just In time for the descent.' With a
cheer for their success, they rushed
npoailiie astonished aeronauts. . only
to dap&Tcr that the balloon was not
one of the competing ones.
The Times' Daily Short Story.
HER BEAUTY
Origrtnal.,
Lanouette was the beauty of her day.
When she drove out In her carriage
people who caught a glimpse st hei
exquisite face started and looked back.
When she entered a ballroom there
was a Lush. Those who were permitted
to look upon her marvelous features
soon became lost In a dream. Artists
begged permission to paint her as an
angel, but when their work was fin
ished they had failed to give that
thrill which passed through every ono
who looked upon Lanouette herself. j
That her beauty was mortal was La-j
nouette's skeleton. It was the one flaw ;
la her otherwise perfect happiness.
But this only came to her when she .
grew older. I
" "Lnnouotte," her father said to her
when he saw that she was not uncon
scious of her beauty, "remember that
If you live the day will surely come
when you will be either a fat old wo
man or a skinny one." j
To which she replied, "Yes, but that
Is ever so far away." j
Lanouette's friends were so en-j
grossed with her physical beauty that j
If there was In her a beauty of soul i
they took no account of It, or if they j
did It was not expressed to her. Con-,
sequently she grew Into a Ljlief that
her charms of body were her only gift.
She dreaded lest when It faded her
friends would drop away from her.
This troubled her more and more as
ehe grew older and approached the
point when she knew that her treasure
must begin to pass from her.
One day she was twenty-nine sbo
stood before her mirror enjoying the
eight of her marvelous gift when sho
noticed a faint streak under her eye9
denoting that the process of decay had
begun. It was as If she bad beard the
first stroke of a bell announcing her
execution. "It Is the light," she said,
with blanched cheek and throbbing
heart "It comes from above and
casts a shadow. 1 will lower the shade
and open the blinds below." She did
so, but there was still that pencil
brush line directly under the lower
lashes of each eye. Sho moistened her
handkerchief and rubbed It on the
skin, hoping to find that the lines were
an artificial discoloration, but when t
she looked again they had not been re- j
moved. I
Never to have possessed Is not to
know the agony of losing. Only one j
who has been rich knows the blight of j
approaching poverty. Only one who ,
has electrified the world with a gift
can know the Intense grief that accoin-1
panics its loss. But with Lanouette It j
was the loss of love that she dreaded ,
rather than the beauty Itself. She re-1
solved that those who had loved bor
should not look upon the deepening of
those lines. She had seen them; no
one else should seo them. I
She sat In her room till the twilight
FOOD
LOOK FOR
THE UNION LABEL
Lord IIcreford' Popularity.
Lord Charles Beresford's popularity
with the men under his command Is
notoriously as great as with the public,
says a London cable dispatch to the
New York Herald. A good example of
his cheery methods of winning it oc
curred recently during the cruise of
the channel fleet. There was a steam
ing comietitiou. In which Lord Charles
Beresford's flagship, the Majestic,
pave the other battleships two hours"
etart and won the race. To mark his
approval of the stokers' work, Lord
Charles descended into the stokehold,
addressed the men In a short speech
and provided each of them with a plat
of beer at his expense.
came and they were gone. She turned
on all the light about her dressing case
and they reappeared. When the clock
struck 10 she was still sitting before
her mirror. The perfection of her
beauty had vanished, and sho saw
only the Imperfection. Then when all
were asleep she arose and went down
to the river bank. Below swirled the
flood. She would use It to conceal
those lines; she would die before the
Imperfection of her beauty was known.
A hand was laid on her arm. She
turned, and there stood a young cler
gyman. The beads of hundreds of men
had been turned by the mere sight of
her face, but this man had looked upon
It and had remained serene. He, too,
possessed au Unordinary degree of
physical beauty, though of the intellec
tual and spiritual kind. It may be that
beauty of soul was to him what beau
ty of person is to others. Be this as it
may, he was the only man whose de
votion Lanouette's gift had not won
for her.
"Lanouette," he said.
His voice was pitched in a low tone
and musical. Some said he bad caught
It from the deeper uotea of the organ.
There was that In it which brought
bor to her better self and made her
tremble.
"What are you doing here?"
"My beauty it is beginning to fade.
I can never bear to have others see it
imperfect."
"Not even I?"
"You?"
"Yes, your beauty has never been of
supreme value to me. It is not your
chief gift.".
"Not my chief gift? I have no other."
The man smiled. "You have at least
one delightful gift that of uncon
sciousness of your best traits."
"Traits? What traits?"
"Should I impress you with them I
would cancel the gift of unconscious
ness." "I have never been anything but a
beauty," she said gloomily, "and now
that Is going I do not wish to live." ..,
"Live for my sake."
'
Many years have passed. The lines
under the eyes of the clergyman's wife
have deepened, her skin is a network
of wrinkles, her hair is white as snow,
her cheek is hollow, but time's effacing
finger has no terror for her. Where
thousands worshiped her for her beau
ty thousands now bless her for her
charity. Her daughter, Lanouette, la
nineteen. She has the former beauty
of her mother, to which is added the
more spiritual expression of her father.
From her childhood her parents have
so trained her to worship the unperish
able that she sets no store by simple
beauty. When those about her show
too plainly their admiration she re
peats words her mother has often said
to her:
"Lanouette, remember that if you
live the day will surely come when you
will be either a fat old woman or a
skinny one."

TO TIBET BY TRAIN.
How the Sew t'entory In Attacking
Ancient Stronsrhold.
Attention has at last been turned to
the problem of Tibet, and action is
being taken by the government of In
dia which is likely to have exceeding
ly Important results, writes the Simla
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Tress. The Thirty-second Pioneers
and a company of Madras Sappers
have been sent to rebuild the road by
the Teesta valley to the frontier.
A railway front Siliguri, the present
terminus of the Northern r.engal State
railway to the spot, eleven miles dis
tant, where the Teesta valley route de
bouches from the Himalayas into the
plains of India, has been surveyed,
and mention begins to be made in the
Indian press of the Torsa valley route,
through independent Brutan territory,
by which it would be possible to push
a mountain railway right up to Tibet
uince it avoids the snowy passes over
which the Jeylep road must climb.

MINDORO'S WHITE RACE.
Expedition to Acertaln Whether
One Kxlmtm In llir Philippines.
The United States government pro
poses to run down the story of the ex
istence of a race of good looking and
energetic whites in the mountains of
the Island of Mindoro, in the Philip
pines, says Harper's Weekly. It op
pears that an expedition has "been or
ganized to penetrate Into the interior
of Mindoro and find out whether such
people exist there. The story about
them has been obstinately persistent
The best version of It seems to be
based on the report of Manuel Castro,
a Filipino, to one Lieutenant Lorenzo
de Clairmont Castro claims to have
visited this while tribe, which, he says,
has lived in the Philippines since long
before the Spaniards came there and
centers in a town of 20.000 inhabitants.
He says that the members of the tribe
are warlike and have effectually dis
couraged intrusion on their privacy by
Spaniards, though they have dealings
with trading Filipinos. The men are
described as fair haired and blue eyed
and the women as surprisingly hand
some. They live in well kept homes,
are fond of athletic sports and knew
agriculture and some of the arts.
Lieutenant de Clairmont's name does
not appear in the army register for
1002, but if there is such aft officer in
the Philippines who has a well inform
ed native friend Castro and If Castro
is a truthful person and knows where
of he speaks there may be an Interest

from Mindoro, which will at least be j
useful to the makers of rotule opera.
