1 T S 5 si 51 I 5 5 4 mm HE official reports show that no baking powder received an award over the Royal at the Chi cago World's Fair. The judge of awards on baking powder writes that the claim by another company to have received the highest award is false ; that no such award was given to it. The Royal Baking Powder is the purest and strongest baking powder made, and has received the highest award at the Great International Expositions and Wcrld's Fairs wher ever exhibited in competition with others. It makes the finest, lightest, sweet est, most wholesome bread, cake and pastry. More economical than any other leavening agent. SAVED MANY WHITES. HOW THE MODOC POCAHONTAS 8HOWED HER BRAVERY AND LOVE J8 SOME INTERESTING COMPARISONS. Th. Number of Line. Shakeapeare. Char a actera Hat. to Say. Some table, published in England by L. M. Grlflltha, giving the number of lines spoken by each character in Shakeapeare'i playa, furuUb a basis for sundry interesting comparisons and contrasts. The leading male characters bare much more io say than their female counterparts. As might have been giieHsed, Hamlet Is by far the most loquacious using the word in this arithmetical sense of the men. His share In the dialogue is 1,501) lines the lines in the tables being those of The Globe edi tion, and parts of lines at beginning and end of speeches being counted as whole lines. Next to the royal Dane come Mell aril III with 1.101 lines, and lago follows ' Iinnl upon with 1,117. Henry V, in the "magnificent monologue" of a play named from him, speaks 1,0ii3 linen. These four characters are the only ones that have more than a thousand linesnplece. Atsomedifltnnce liehlml them comesUthello with 883, Coriolunus with 8W0, the Duke, in "Measure For Measure," with 880 and Ti mon with 8(13. Antony, In "Antony and Cleopatra," is the only other man with more thnn 800, bis reckoning being tUO. Be tween 800 and 700 we And liir(J70), Rich ard II (755), Brutus, in "Julius Cnwar," (737), Falstaff, in "2 Henry IV" (719), Titus Andronicus (718) and Macbeth (70S), and between 700 and COO, fat Jock again, in "1 Henry IV," (088), Leontes (081), Prospero (005), Blron (027), Romeo (018) and Prince Henry, In "1 Henry IV," (010). The others above 500 are Menenlus (508), Petruchio (585), Hotspur (500), the King, in "Hamlet," (551), Trollus (541), Philip Faulconbridge (532) and Caaslus (507). Among the women there are but five who exceed the limit of 600 lines. I should have guessed Portia would be flrst, but her 588 lines are surpassed by Rosalind's 74ft. Cle opatra's 070 and Imogen's 6H6. Juliet has 541. Between 400 and 500 we find only Hel ena of "All's Well" (479) and Isabella (430). The others above 800 are Desdemona(889), Katberlne of Arngon (U74 Mistress Page (301), Viola (353), Paulina (831), Julia in the "Two Gentlemen of Verona" (8311), Olivia i (H31), toe Queen In "8 Henry VI" (817), Vo- jumma (810), uresslda (813), Beatrice (300), the Countess in "All's Well" (806) and Celts I). It will be noted that only 30 of tbe ladles have more than 800 lines each, while 31 of tuejr lords exceed 600, and Rosalind, who leads all the rest of her sex by 79 lines, does not talk nan as much as Hamlet, home of tbe famous female characters have surnrli ingly little to say, as Miranda (143), Per diti (128) and Cordelia (115). Kate tbe shrew, though very sharp of tongue, uses the unruly member only to tbeextentof 330 lines, inclusive ot her long lecture of 44 lines to her untamed sisters In the last scene. Lady Macbeth has but 301 lines and Hermoine but 311. English Critic. An Eiperlinent In Co-operation. Agneta park, near Delft, in Holland tbe result of an Interesting oxHirlment in oo-operntlnn.

A magazine in the cast has started department under the nttrnctive title "My Sweetheart and I." In this depart ment it is aimed to direct the maidon of the land how to conduct herself in her relations to the candidate for her hand The general trend of the first install' inent of the now department is by no means novel. It reitmrmg all tho ol traditions that have been handed down from mothers and discredited by diiugl: ters since the days when time was young, But the chief interest that attaches to the new department lies in a shadow tlmt it casts before. Thero is very good reason to boliev that within a few months this depart ment will be fiercely and vehemently de manding tho chaperon as a social neces sity, and in the west tho possible chnngo that it may cause is appalling. For at present the chaperon is a rura avis west of the Mississippi. Here in the land of fluctuating real estate, $8 hogs and liter ary culture a man is admitted into good society only because he has the car marks of gentility and not because be is the offspring of a dissipated father and a gossiping mother. Hence the daughters of the west need no chaperonage. They can go to a me mo 10 miles in the country und rido on the bock seat coming home by moon light, and no one questions the propriety of the performance, for the men of the west are self made men and know what honor is. If they do not know it, any young miss of 10 years and upward cun tell them quicker than the shako of lamb's tail, and that with emphatio punctuation by way of impressing it. The western girl is not "raised by hand." She has grown tip in the sun shine, and she knows all the facts of life, and her knowledge is good. She is strong and womanly and has no sort of a morbid notion ubout the crouturo man She is of as mnch strength and conse quence as ho. A chaperon would have to bo a goddess to keep tip with the western girl. And when she gets a sweetheart you can depend on it she will handle him all right. And if ho wants hor to go to the theater she will go and carry herself Iwtter than the nnmby pamby niamnia's hothotiso calla lily would in the presence of the insin uating chaperon. If the western girl wants to take a buggy rido with her sweetheart, she'll tuke it and Mr. Young Man will do all the driving too. lue western girls should organize against the encroachments of the chap eron. The chaperon is needed in the east, but until the west gots naughty tho chaperon is a nuisance. It will bo well to keep an eye on this womnn who is writing about tier sweetheart at IOn column for the eastern magazine. If sho conceals a chaperon about her skirts, lot her be bundled up and hustled back across the Mississippi in short order. Kansas City Star. Two Convicted Criminal. An excellent illustration has been af forded us which women would do well to reflect upon. George Darker James Cooper wns on Monday found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to lOyears' penal servitude for having stubbed his wife with a penknife, thereby caus ing hor denth. It wag shown that he systematically ill used her to the point of thrashing her and blackening her oyes. lie was besides proved in court to have been a fuithless husband. Not many years ngo it was proved that Mrs. Maybrick, a faithless wife, had poi soned hor husband. Sentence twenty years' penal servitude. Many jiersons still consider that nothing of the kind was proved. They regard it as doubtful that James Maybrick died of arsenic poisoning at all. Hut even assuming r lorence Maybrick s gnilt, why tho dif ference in the sentences? It is alleged that the fact that Mrs. Maybrick was a faithless wife told heavily against her in the iiiind8 of the jurymen, but the fact tlmt George Cooper was a faithless hus band had no appreciable weight with the jury who measured his guilt. The reason is obvious. Juries influenced by sex bias, as we nil are, excuse in a man what they hold Inexcusable in a woman. Loudon Woman's Herald. Inold.nU In lb. I.lf. of tli. Daughter of lb. Indian Chief Who Unfriended th. Whit. Soldier, and Trader. In Captain Jack. Reign. Over 50 years ngo there was born In that fesolnte region or southern Oregon, now known as the Itva beds, an Indian girl, the daughter of tie Cot, a Modoc chief. Amoim the white men who had penetrated into the Modoo country a few years later in tho search for gold was a young Kentuckinu named Frank Kldillo. The beauty of the Indian girl had its elrect on the white man, Whoso qualities were pleasing to tho chief, and after the usual ceremonies Incidental to an Indian marrlngo Wl-ne-nin, and her white husband net up their own lodge. It was this marriage Hint strengthened her re gard held for her white friends, and ever after she remained loyal to the race to which her husband belonged. Tbe discovery of gold in the Klamath re gion drew many adventurers to that field, with tho usual portion of the lawless ele ment. In 1851 some emigrants who had been very aggressive toward the Modocs were put to death by the Indians, and the following year a band of white's left Vreka to punish the savages for the act. Tho avengers were led by Den Wright, an old mountaineer who had hunted and fought Indians witb Kit Carson; Jim lleckwitb, John Scott and Jim Dridger. After a long chose through tho rough country, which was not productive of good results, the chiefs wore invited to meet the whites and make a treaty. This they agreed to do, and tho warring part les went into camp near each other on Ixwt river, the Indians out numbering the white men by three to one. Kurly on the morning ot the conference a young Modoo squaw, breathless, her cloth Ing torn and her feet bleeding, came Into tbe Wright camp and asked to see the lead er. Her errand was to warn the Invaders against treachery. The night before she learned at the coun cil fire that her people intended to sur round the v. hi to men during the confer ence and put them to death. Wright and his men met cunning with cunning. They went Into ambush near the place of con ference nnd when the unsuspecting Modocs fell into the trap but two escaped from the slaughter that ensued. Ibis aliair is known in the history of northern California as the lien Wright massacre. The squaw who conveyed the timely warning to her white friends was Wi-ne-mn, the wife of Frank Riddle. This fact was never found out by her people, elso her life would have been forfeited. Twenty-one years passed. The Modocs were confined by the government to a res ervation, and treaties made with them which were repeatedly broken. The tribe were the prey of post traders, contractors and of almost every white man who came in contact with them. The only ouo of the buted white race in whom they bad eon II deuce was the late Judge Klijah Steele. To this man they went for counsel and advice, but in the lapse of timo they even contem plated taking his life, as In the Indian mode of reasoning the death of a single white man erases the wrongs perpetrated by many. The chiefs finally decided to spare his life on condition of his bringing tbe commissioners and commanding ollicers of the troops to confer witb them. Hut for tbe ellorts of the brave snuaw, Wi-ne-ma, war would have broken out long before. Many times she took the weapons from the liands or warriors bent on the de struction of settlers in the region, and It was sho who warned the ollicers of tho army of the trouble brewing. Her Influence with her people begun to wane as their rage against the whiles Increased, llien, too, the warriors began to mistrust her husband. Colonel Meachaiu, who wns in command of the military post, was a humane man and did all in his power to right the wrongs of bis dusky wards. This man Wi-ne-mu re vered, and when the second peace com mis sion was appointed did all in her power to prevent linn trom attending the council witb the chiefs. She grasped his horse by the bridle, brgglug Meacbam and Can by not to meet Jack and his band. When she found entreaty was in vain tbe devoted woman mounted ber pony and rodo with tbe 111 fated party to tho place of meeting. 1 he story of that meeting has been told many times. When Mcachum was attacked by the bloodthirsty Scouchin, Wi-ne-mn threw herself on tho savage and begged Dim to spare tlio lire of lier white friend, Others coming up, Wi-ne-mn ran from war rior to warrior, turning aside their weap ons. At bust ona or many bullets struck Mcachnm senseless, and the quick wilted squaw turned aside the weapon aimed to finish his life, with the words: "Him (lead! No use Bhootl" Sconchin tried to scnli Meacbam, when Wi-ne-ma grasped the knife. The enraged buck struck her tt ter rible blow, almost knocking her senseless. Again the wit of tho woman came into play, '"lhe soldiers are coming up," she cried, mid the next moment a detachment of troops did appear. Amid curses from the enraged troopers, a dozen weapons were leveled at the breast of the brave snuaw. Looking the mounted men straight in the face,, she cried: "No shoot niel I tried to save tbeml" Then came from the ranks the words of an enlisted man, "The man who harms ber I'll killl For weeks the noble snuaw Wi-ne-mn nursed her friend Mcachum and at last, a cripple for life and broken in health, she got him to bis wifennd family. Wi-ne-mn's nly child, a son, died of consumption not long after, and in a few years her husband followed, Colonel Meuehun, in gratitude for the self sacrillco mid devotion of the ilttlo Woman Chief, used - his limited means to help the condition of ber nnd her people, Willi tho usual result. Meacbam has burn dead eleven years and since that timo his Indian friend has suffered bnrd ships she should not have been called upon to endure. It was his desiretbat Wi-ne-mn should be provided for in her old age and through the contributions of those who uew ber story the Little Woman Chief is passing the declining years of her life in caiufort In tho country of ber birth.

"You know I always was a talker. I used to bo a preacher. My father was a minister In Knglaiid. I remember once to hnvo anno with him to Hochdalo to hear John Hrigbt speak, and his talk im pressed mo very much. I wns perhaps never more, of an anarchist than Hright nnd his school wero, but I got mixed up with a lot of people who believed they woro mistreated, und being a spouter I naturally voiced their sentiments. All that has passed away. I don't Intend that any act of mino shall reflect upon tho men who hnvo so gonoiously lntorosteu them selves In our behalf." Such was tho confession and promise, of Samuel Fielden, tho "little English man," ns they called him, whllo on his way homo from Joliet statu prison in com puny with Oscar Noebo and Michael Schwab and the many reporters who orowded around them on the cars. Since that timo, In June, 1803, Mr. Fielden has very quietly earned a living for himself, wifu and two children by Sh. Ileat the Conductor. "That belongs to mel" This frank expression is not new on the surface street cars when the conductor spies a passenger hunting for a coin on the floor. It makes no dillerenco whet her the coin belongs to tbe conductor or to the passen ger. It belongs to the conductor, just the same, provided no one saw the passenger drop it. You see, tbe conductor argues that any money that is found on the floor Is his be cause ho handles more money on board than any one else. It s a course of reasoning plausible enough usually, but it didn't work yester day when nn extremely self important con ductor marched Into a Fulton street car and saw a lady working to get something from the wooden slats on the floor. All the other women in tho car wero looking at her with that sort of contempt which implied that they wouldn't stoop to wich a thing, and meanwhile, very red in tbe face and with considerably bodily effort she tugged to get the object out. As tbe conductor came to a stop and held out bis band she recovered herself and said swe'ttly: "Certainly, please get It out." The conductor leaned over, got on his knees and finally fished nut a "solitaire," a metal ornament used by women to fasten their gloves.
