WTHEU - No one
possibly feel more
than 1 your rc
roa/Uies yesterday morn?
ing wIh?u I was just leav?
ing: for Cherbourg with my poverness.
Miss Harriet, and my little brother.
Paul. In .spit.? of your having forbid?
den It. th? last tblug I did before my
departure was to brush my cheeks
with my powder/ puff.
This you perceived as you bade me
good-bye. Caught unawares. I denied
the fact ;is stupidly as I did energeti?
cally, and you did not spare your de?
nunciation.
Of eon- heartbroken to think
that I !iav$,.evgr displeased you. dear
papa, so I immediately made up my
mind that the best way to prove my
repentance and show my respect for
you was to conform blindly to your
counsels.
This is how I set to work to practice
them that very day.
No ?sooner bad we ia ken our seats in
the train. Misa Harriet. Paul and I.
than the guard ?ame (<? take our rick?
ets. According to your instructions we
had lK>ught Paul's at half price.
*T am sure that child ought to pay
the full fare." said the guard; "he is
certainly more than seven years old."
"He is eight years old. sir." I said,
openly.
i "Ten francs mure, ihen," replied the
guard.
We paid and the train started. Mi^s
Harriet was not at all pleased with
my interference, and she scolded and
spluttered away until she finally
.wound up by telling me that she did
not think we appreciated her sufli
ciently.
"I heard your father say the other
day that I was stupid." she said. "You
needn't deny It, for you can't!"
Of course I had to tell her the truth.
"He didn't say you were stupid," I
answered, ,lbut he did s;iy that you
wen- a goose."
J^\ Mercy! That was worse than ever.
She looked at me as if she would like
to eat me up. She did not say much,

"Oh, but ?lio didn't embroider It her*

boTv puitiod you would leal nt such a
departure from the truth; "the wait?
ress did the work on It."
Aunt scowled more fiercely than be?
fore, and I handed her your box of
chocolates.
"What! From Fotln's!" exclaimed
aunt, smiling, all her frowns vanishing
as If by magic. "His chocolate Is nl
ways the best, but it is so expensive."
This time, dear papa. It concerned
you, so I told her the truth at once.
"The box is from Fotln's. aunt," I
said. "Mamma had it given to her on
New Year's Dny, but pspa got the j
chocolate at the little shop on our cor?
ner."
Aunt looked as if she had a whole
thunderstorm inside of her. and the
frowns were In full force as she said
sourly:
"I hoped that your parents would
have the decency to come and see me
themselves. Your father wants to sell
me this house, end as he said he had
had It specially repaired for me. per?
haps I might be suited very well!"
"How curious!" I remarked, saying
exactly what I thought. "There
haven't been any workmen here for
three years, for I heard papa say so!"
"Ah!-And do you also know why
your father wants to sell the house?"
I was tempted to be silent, but, in?
stead. I said frankly:
"It is too noisy here to be endurable,
and. besides, there are stables close
by."
I cannot describe, dear papa, the un?
fortunate effect of these undeniable
truths. My aunt left the room hastily
and hanged the door behind her.
I should have renounced then and

QaatM de Tournettes had not just that
instant jumped from his horse and
(Mine hastily into the room. I wished
to announce his arrival to my aunt,
but he Stoppes! me, saying that he had
heard of my intended visit here and
had come to see me the instant he
knew I had reached the city.
He Sfsid that he wanted to speak to
m?- and not to my aunt. Thereupon
he bagan to say many very pleasant
things to me, and finally asked openly
If I liked him.
Ah! my dear papa, if it had been dis?
agreeable to me before to tell the truth
I assure It was quite different this
lime.
"Indeed, yon please me very much.
Monsieur Gaston, and you always
have."
"Then you are not afraid to become
my fiancee?"
"On the contrary. I shall be delighted
t<> do so." I said frankly, rcuembering
how you had said he was the most eli?
gible bachelor of the season.
?And you will love me?" he contin?
ued.
"I love you already-"
Hut 1 will stop here, dear papa, for
it seems to me that I can see you
frowning this time, and I can hear
your voice growling:
"Naughty girl! You have said as
many impertinent and awkward things
as you have told the truth!"
So let me hasten to reassure you,
dear papa. This Is all a story that I
have made up to tell you.
Paul paid no more than half fare
and Miss Harriet is convinced that we
could none of us get along without her.
and that we think she is the very salt
of the earth I The brandy passed the
customs officers beneath their eyes and
noses, and they never suspected a
thing.
My aunt Is delighted with mamma's
centrepiece, which she thinks is all her
own work, and she is perfectly satia?
ted with the cheap chocolate in the
Potin box. She will certainly buy the
house. And as for poor Gaston de
Tournettes, he is still ignorant of my
sentiments!
I merely wished to show you, a trifle
maliciously perhaps, but perfectly re?
spectfully, I nssure you, that the truth
you talked so much about Is not al?
ways expedient to tell. Indeed, you
would not think it was modest or fit?
ting for a lady to issue from her well
and travel about through the world
without being adorned and veiled to a
certain extent.
You had far better trust to woman's
tact, finesse and taste to render her so?
ciable, amiabie and even pretty and
Switching without losing any of her
natural grace! Cover her with a little
anodyne in the shape of a few innocent
lies and she may Journey freely with?
out fear of injury.
Thus?, dear papa, do not scold me so
severely another time, t promise that
I will tell only nice, white, innocent
little lies, and you must admit now,
yourself, that they make life vastly
more agreeable and easy to live! In
fact, there is no getting along without
them! JULIETTE.
Heredity Mysteries.
"If there is much virtue in tho doc
trine of inherited qualities, why is
there such a vast difference as we see
in n multitude of instances between
brothers or between sisters?" said Mr.
H. T. Huffmayer of San Francisco.
"Years ago I begau to make a study
of this matter, and I have a book nt
home filled with cases bearing on fra?
ternal disparities. I know of a learned
jurist, and a most excellent man from
every point of view,who has a brc'.her
in the penitentiary. I knew of a fam?
ily of six brothers.three of whom were
men of the highest socisl and busi?
ness standing, while the other three
were knaves snd vagabonds, outcasts
from society. They had the same
father and mother, the same moral

difference? I know of two sisters, one

Washington, D. C. (Special ).?The
crusade against graft in the executive
departments, which has recently dis?
closed >a stale of affairs in the Depart?
ment ?>t Agriculture almost or quite as
bad as that which involved the Postofficc
Department last year, will soon be di?
rected toward the Geological Survey.
and possibly agains tthc Bureau of Fish?
eries, commonly called the Fish Com?
mission.
The (?eological Survey i> under the
Interior Department, and the But can of
Fisheries ?s a branch of the Department
of Commerce and Labor. It was made
known that charges have been preferred
against leading officials of the Geolog?
ical Survey, alleging that they own
stock in the Milting World, a journal
published in Chicago, and that they
have exploited in that paper certain
scientific theories and discoveries which
they have obtained at the expense of
the United States.
A big fuss has been made by other
magazines, who declare that they are
being discriminated against. They de?
clare that paid officers of the United
States arc using for individual profit
information which they haw obtained
at the expense of the government and
which rightly belongs to the people.
it is charged that four of the directors
of the Mining World Company are of?
ficials of the Geological Survey, and
that, in addition to receiving their divi?
dends, they arc under engagement to
write exclusive articles for the maga?
zine. The information contained in these
i> usually published in advance of the
official reports of the survey officers,
which are available for the public gen?
erally.
The matter will be referred to the
Keep Commission tor investigation. The
commission is expected to find out in?
cidentally why it is that the results of
professional investigations and re?
searches carried on by the Geological
Survey are almost invariably withheld '
from official publication until from six i
months to two yean after the time of
completing the work. It u a matter
of common knowledge in Washington j
that many of the most interesting and j
vital interests connected with the work
of the Geological Survey appear in sci?
entific journals and popolai magazines,
profusely illustrated with pictures and
sketches made at government expense,
many months before the official reports
of the survey are given to the govern
ment. These magazines articles almost
invariably bear the names of some of
the survey, and the articles are. of
course, paid for. The case which led
to the charges just made public is that
of the Mining World.
H. C. Reiser, chief clerk of the Geo?
logical Survey, and acting director in
the absense of Director YYolcott, ad?
mitted that several members of the sur?
vey were stockholders in the Mining
World, and be s:iid there might be tome
ground for the charge that information
obtained at the expense of the govern?
ment has been sold for a price, but he
said that Director Wolcott had always
disapproved of this practice. Mr. Reiser
was not inclined to regard the matter
very seriously.
In connection with the charges against
the Geological Survey, complaint has
also been made against the Bureau of
Fisheries and the Bureau of Forestry.
The reports of both bureaus are al?
ways from a year to three years late,
and the interesting matter is frequently
sold to magazines in advance. In con?
nection with the Forestry Bureau one
instance is given in which there is sup?
posed to be no graft, bul merely the
"red-tape" delay of which President
Roosevelt complained when he appoint?
ed the Keep Commission.

The storm struck Coney Island about

which goes through the Boardwalk and

CHINESE WANT OPEN DOOR.
Will Probably Decline to Sign Any Exclusion

Washington, D. C. ? ?.?Some
doubt 1 ? expressed in official circles
whether it will b ?ble to obtain

'agreement reports have reached here
that China i- inclined hereafter to refuse
to sign any similar convention.
China's position app be that
the exclusion of Chinese citizens from a
frici! try is in itself a disgrace,
; and while she cannot ignore the last
a foreign power providing tor such ex
to sanction it or
become part of it by concluding a treaty
! involving such restrictions. A year ago,

exclusion of Chinese laborers only. Now,
however, it is understood, the Ch
officials are disposed to regard the sign

nity of their Government.
The reason for the assumption at Pe

to the officials here, though in some cir?
cles it was attributed to the influence
of foreign powers.
