JARED STANLEY, from the big rocker on her piazza, looked with well-concealed impatience at "hor tantalizing guest in the hammock. Alicia was all fluffy blue ruffles, and her inno cent brown eyes and deep dimples lent to her a dangerous seeming of guHelessness. She looked past her hostess to the road, along which were approaching her host and two other clean-cut young men. "Allle, dear," asked Mrs. Jed, "which one do you mean to take?" Alicia leaned back provokingly, as sho replied: "I thought you gave me this house par ty to help mo And out, Nell?" "Well, I did. What's the matter? Theresa and Maude aren't in the way?" "Goodness, no! I am only too glad to have them about to keep Teddy and Sam off part of the- time." "They'll have to draw cuts. I can't choose. Edward Trent has sense, money and good looks, and so has Samuel Good win. They are both thoroughbreds, but each needs the other to sot him off. Sammy's blond, boyish inconsequence shows up Teddy's dark impatient dignity. I wish I could have them both, simul taneously, or not at all. It's horrid to be dependent on an aunt who insists on marrying you off. She says sho won't stand another Winter of my sho calls it flirting. I" the girl's eyes grew serious. "Alicia, what about -John Lane?" Her face flushed, but Mrs. Jed went on with the temerity of an old friend. "We all know you refused him times unnumbered. Why did you?" "Oh, I kept count; it was eight times. I did it because auntio has been trying to get us married ever since I was 1G: also because Mr. John Lane needed tak ing flown. He always thought ho could have anything he wanted, and he did usually get it till it camo to me. Be sides, I won't marry a poor lawyer and bo transported to the wilds of Colorado. Chicago is good enough for me, and I want a big church wedding and a home among civilized people. Anyway, if John Lane really wanted mo he'd stop propos ing and get me, somehow." Then, as the three men came up the steps, she whis pered dramatically: "I'll make them draw cuts. It's the only way." She greeted them with the sweet Im partiality that caused them to hate each other with primitive masculine seal. Mrs. Jed left them and, going to her desk! wrote a letter: My dear John: She is here. I mean Alicia, of course. Trent and Goodwin you know them both are here also, and hot on her trail, as Theresa Petrle and Maudo Hope are on theirs. Her aunt, I mean Alicia's, says she must choose between them. This Is her sixth sea son, you know. When a firlrl doesn't know which or two men she wants to marry, it Is the favorable Junc ture for .the third man. Come down on busi ness, of course but plan your own campaign, and may the Lord help you I can't. But you were made for each other, and I simply give you this chance to win out. Tours, as ever, ELEANOR STANLEY. Two days later John Lane, In travel ing attire, suddenly took himself and his suitcase before the astonished gaze of his partner In the law and in single blessedness. "Mac, I'm off tor ten days Chicago. You can get on without me you'll have to." Macdonald knew enough not to ask questions. John went- on. "I shall come back w- h a a wife or without one, I" but Mac interrupted. "Sort of matrimonial rush order, old man? You don't say whether the wife is for me or for some client." But Lane gave him an affectionate kick and de parted to take his train, and smoked away steadily the 24 monotonous hours between him and Alicia, He had time to plan his campaign. Friday afternoon Alicia, at her window, saw him coming up tho long green lawn of the Stanley Summer house. Then she put on a nonchalant air and a blue gown much out of style and sauntered down into the garden. Of course he would come presently, and this time perhaps she would say "yes." But John did not come. When, after an hour or two, she Joined the others on the piazza, he rose and greeted her with a friendly handshake and with no trace of sentiment. Then he devoted himself to Theresa, whom he had known at college, and when, later, they all went out to the links, he golfed with Maude and made friends with the young clergyman of the party who in cluded golf in his creed. Alicia thought that he cultivated everything and every body but her. After a few days she began to realize that John Lane was no longer her espe cial property as he had been from child hood to the previous year, when she had last refused to marry him. He had said he should never ask her again, and now, with a sudden sinking of tho heart, she bgan to feel that he had meant it. Her Indifference was a thing of the past. chairman of the Philippine Exposition Board, and other distinguished persons who will be present Special drills executed by the Philip pine scouts and constabulary on their re spective parade grounds will Include drills to music, wall-scaling, calisthenlc exer cises with rifle!-, and drills to bugle calls. The scouts and constabulary organizations will then participate in a grand parade, reviewed by the distinguished military party. ' Music during all of these ceremonies will be supplied by two native Philippine bands, the constabulary numbering 80 pieces, being the largest in the World's Fair, and both said to be among the best musical organizations in the world. Con certs will be given In the evening on the beautiful plazas of the Philippine reser vation, where the native style Cafe Lu zon, with dining veranda an eighth of a mile long, is situated. For the thousands of visitors who will attend the World's Fair on Philippine day there will be many other special features to interest. Boatracing on beautiful Ar rowhead Lake by natives of the Saraal Moro village and exhibitions in pearl-diving will be some of the water sports in dulged In by the "Sea Gypsies" of Min danao Island. For the first time visitors -will have an opportunity to enter the Bagobo village, which on that day. will be opened to the public. Here the "natives may be seen garbed in their bead Ureases and adorned with many bells and musical trinkets. Musical bracelets and anklets of their strange fashioning will clink harmonious ly with melodious , dances executed by Bagobo boys and girls. Dog feasts will be offered by the naked Tgorrotes, and war dances of the Bontoc headhunters will bo executed by the most barbaric of all the Filipino tribes. These queer people, who are a curiosity even in Manila, are garbed, only in a narrow breech-clout and tiny cap; which Is used more as a pocket or receptacle for their trinkets than as protection for the head. Primitive as are these wild people of the islands, they have been taught to use the telephone and typewriter, and get much amusement from these modern instru ments of white civilization. In contrast with many barbaric customs still In vse. the Suyoc members of the Igorrote tribe give an interesting exhibit of mining and smelting ores brought from their copper and gold mines at home. The women of this tribe may be seen follow ing the Industrial pursuit of weaving bright-colored cotton cloths. One of the most interesting sights of the 40-acre Philippine exposition is the model Time seemed to go on wings. John now seemed to seek her out a little more; he walked and talked with her, and a new interest in him seized upon her, especially after Maude confided to her that Mr. Lane seemed to be quite taken with Theresa, Theresa, Indeed! This tall, bronzed man, with the fine, serious blond face and earnest eyes and his firm jaw this man who swayed judges and juries, who knew and managed men, made tho society polish of Teddy and Sammy seem mawkish, and the literary culture of the Reverend Mr. Jackson a pale and sickly thing. She wanted to live! What was tho money? John Lane was succeeding, and Alicia liked success. And she sighed, and wore the blue and white dresses that he used to like. He spoke much of his state, of Its possibilities, of tho beauty of its scen ery, of his life there and of the people he knew, and there seemed to be a Bertha Allyn whom he mentioned oft ener than was necessary. Also he dally went Into the city for an hour or two and fumed about hotel lobbies. Mrs. Jed was quick enough to see tne general outlines of his plan of action, and took the keen pleasure of a born matchmaker in helping him out The young people went fishing and golfing and picnicking. They danced and flirted, and Lane and the clergyman became fast friends. Theresa ceased operations on Sammy and concentrated her effective bru nette charms upon the young Western lawyer. Alicia, half angry and wholly sore-hearted, decided to return to Chicago and go in for slumming or Journalism or something. Dawdling bored her. She would take care of herself, and she would not marry a man she could not lovo. As for John, he would marry that hateful sho knew she was hateful! Allyn girl and think he was happy. Woll, she didn't care! So she was extremely gay and flirted with Teddy, even beyond her usual generous limits. A week after his arrival Lane an nounced at breakfast that his busi ness was nearly finished and that he must leave them the evening of the next flay. A case "at home needed his attention. He was sorry. He had had such a Jolly good time, and his trip, thanks to them all. had been nnriv all pleasure. Alicia's heart sank, but she smiled with polite regret To her tho next morning was the morning of the last day, and it was the same with John Lano, but Instead of telling her so he asked her if she would drive him to town in the Dony-cart Allftln consented readily enough, but with apparent unconcern. He said he had a few last errands. She held tho dancing ponies while he visited the postoffice. a hotel or two, and Anally tho courthouse, where he stayed what semod hours, but was in reality but a few minutes. Then -they drove back again and lounged about with the others until luncheon. In the afternoon they all went out to the links, which extended smooth and green over a gently rolling tract bounded on one side by a pretty little stream. The other sido ended In a bit of tangled wildwood which was crossed by an old-fashioned Yan kee fence and which the Stanleys carefully preserved from any destruc tion of its primitive wild beauty. Thev all sauntered along, and John after a while fell into the rear with Alicia. When they came to the wood he called to the others: Go on and play your game. I Re lieve we won't come. I want to tell Miss Alicia something." "Oh." jeered Theresa, good-naturedly, "and we are not asked to come, too?" "You are not," John assured her; "not until you are called. "Is that hint mant for me also?" .asked Jackson with a humorous grin. "Yes. when I want when we want you I'll whistle through my fingers and then you can come a-runningv" Thev went on laughlnir at his nonsense, and John led Alicia Into the shade of the old oaks. ' "You didn't care to play, did you? No. I thought not! Let's sit on this log and talk. 1 can whack a ball around a field when I get back to Colorado and haven't an old-time friend to talk with." "An old-time friend," thought she, "was better than nothing at all!" So they talked about old friend3 and new, about the little Iowa town where they had gone together to school, of the college days later, of music and politics, of every thing but of the times he had said that he loved her and had asked her to be his wife, and of the parting close at hand. The wind stirred the forest at their backs, and a red-headed woodpecker tap ped industriously at a dead trunk near by. John pointed the bird out to his com panion. "Alicia, dp you remember that wood pecker's nest I found In Baker's woods when you were 10 and I was 12 or so? And how I took you out to see the eggs?" "Yes, end you bad to bore a hole in the Filipino school, where these primitive peo ple are Instructed in the rudiments of modern edeation by a native teacher, Ml&i Zamora. The Igorrote leaves his doa feast, the Negrito his bow and poisoned arrow and the Moro his abode on the water to sit for hours at a varnished desk in a typical American schoolhouse and study the A B Cs. The Visayan village, offering the higher type native, furnishes an Interesting In dustrial display in beautiful embroiders work executed by the women and splendid woodcarvlng done by the men. Visitors may also see the primitive, and, in some parts of the Islands, chief means of trans portation, the carrabao, or water buffalo, and cart. There will be dancing and sing ing by native Visayan boys and girls in the Visayan Theater, music by tho Vi sayan orchestra, and weaving of the fa mous jusl and pineapple fiber cloth. In addition to the water sports, the Moros will give exhibitions of their fren zied Mohammedan spear dance, and the women and children will render strange music and perform weird dances. One of the most daring of savage customs is the bolo, or knife, dance executed by the fierce Lanao Moros, now opposing the United States Army In tho Philippines. Among the Industrial pursuits illustrated by this tribe is the hulling of rice by primitive means. The Negritos are the aboriginal dwarf race of the Philippines, and because of their kinky hair and ebony complexion are supposed to be a race descended from the African negro. Even down to the children 2 and 3 years of age the Negritos are expert marksmen with tho bow and arrow. For the entertainment of visitors the children In the Negrito .yHlage shoot at smaii coins ana tne men practice with larger weapons at targets, showing their accurate aim. They also practice tattoo ing with bamboo needles, and make fires by the friction of bamboo sticks. There are over 30 different tribes and over 1300 native Filipinos in the Philippine Exposition. Nearly 52,000.000 has been ex pended by the United State's Government In Its participation, and the representation is the largest made by a. foreign land at any exposition. Besides the various vil lages thero are over a dozen exhibit build ings devoted to a display of Philippine products, the resources, the ethnological ana educational story of the islands. Special rates will be made by all rail roads for Philippine day at the World's Fair, and in point of attendance the day wm oe one or tne largest of the Expos! tlon.

"You know very well." "John, if you'll say it again I'll an swer you, John." He wanted to reach her la three strides, but he knew better than to spoil his advantage. He waited.

"Oh. that was for our parson. I told him I would whistle when he was wanted. I don't see how we could be married 'now' without a parson do you?" John Kinston Lane-you don t imagine that I am going to be married up here on this fence? You take me down." But he leaped to the ground and stood looking up at her. I don't imagine. I know. My fair and sweet ladv I am done with taking risks. There are snakes down here besides you'll stay right thero till you are mine absolutely in the eyes of heaven and earth." ' "I will not do It! Besides, you have no license." "Alicia, yqu said 'now, and that means the immediate present" They heard voices. John whistled again to guide them to the place. He turned to his Iaay love and continued: "Dear girl, you took me to the court house this morning to get the license here It is." He pulled the paper from his pocket and laughed at her amazement, as the party of golfers came up laughing and shouting. Under her breath Alicia made a last threat "John, you don't flare! I'll tell Sammy I'll they will help me." "No you will not, dear. You have too much pride and, besides, Alicia, you love me! Why not now as well as another time? And as for daring, I'd dare most anything to get you." The girl straightened, and her cheeks glowed with excitement "So we are wanted, are we?" asked Mrs. Jed, "and for what?" Her innocence was a little too complete to bo the real thing, and the minister was unsus piciously unsuspecting and calm. The. hostess went on mockingly. "From the looks of things I should say that In a place like this two would be excellent company" ' "One would be better." InterruDted John. "that's why we want the parson, and you for witnesses. Mr. Jackson," he said, nanaing mm the license and climbing up beside Alicia, will you kindly proceed to marry us? My wife will accompany me to uoioraao this evening." To do them justice Maude and Theresa and Teddy and Sam were properly as tounaed. 0"ne irate Sammy broko forth "Look here, Miss Alicia, are you doing tnis or your own free will?

John and Alicia answered to the solemn words that made them man and wife. Then John lifted his bride from the fence, and after the congratulations were over ho carried her back through the tangled grass. They were a steD or two behind the others, and Alicia bent until her lips were close to his ear. John Lane, you will pay for his day's The Looting of Restaurants. New York Press.- This- Is the ' season of the year when hotels and restaurants, as well as de partment stores, are taking account of stock. Ono of the heaviest charges on the page devoted to profit and loss In the restaurants can be traced directly to the mania of the average New Yorker for col lecting souvenirs. The loss from breakage of dishes in a fashionable restaurant or cafe is small compared with the loss from this peculiar form of kleptomania. A restaurant which Is particularly podu- lar with residents of Central Park West has suffered extensively in this way and when the annual account of stock was taken the proprietors determined to se lect for the new furniehings of tho tables as many unmarked articles as possible. At ono time they had their monogram on all the silverware, the classes, manv of the dishes and the match safes, all of which disappeared. As an experiment they bought plain white corrugated match safes, such as can be bought by the dozen in the 5 and 10-cent stores and immediate ly patrons of the cafe seemed to lose in terest ia matchsafe3 which lacked indt viduality. Their coffee service had inciudA small pitchers about two Inches high in a good quality or quadruple plate, bear ing the firm's monogram, and these wem replaced by plain composition ware which rceemmea ootn aluminum and nickel Here, too, there was less difficulty in re. talnlng their property. Several weeks ano at this same restmi rant a firm which was putting out a new brand or tobasco distributed sample bot ties set in small Individual castors of sil ver plate. Eighteen of these were nre eon ted to the cafe and placed on as many tables for trial one Saturday night. After rush hours were over, about 1 A. M., tho proprietor made the rounds of thesu tn- bles with a view of learning how much of the tobasco sauce had been used and what comments the waiters had heard about it The most important ft Im pressed upon his mind during this tour was that out of is little silver castors exactly five remained. In four in the pretty holder and the tobasco bottle nad disappeared together. In a quiet way managers of cafes and restaurants try to stop this polite pillage but unfortunately they lack the tlon of their waiters. A 50-cent tin trill render a waiter oblivious to the fact that guests are slipping bits of silver and table furnishings into their pockets. The Russian Babel. N. T.

Revanche for Aglncourt. London Daily Telegraph. The first meeting of English and French archers since the battle of Aglncourt took place at Le Touquet, near Etaples, last weeK, in circumstances which were nat urally very different from those of 1415. A contingent of English archers, some 50 in number, crossed the Channel to take part In an international tournament, and there were nearly 100 French archers among the competitors. In a match be tween Englishmen and Frenchmen the latter proved ahelr decided superiority by winning handsomely. 10 END THE DEADLOCK CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION TO MEET MONDAY.

Political burns will be administered to morrow morning, no matter which way the brand Is applied, for the Oregon dele gation Is to get together and reach some conclusion regarding the appointments which come under the head of their pre-. rogatlves. The most Imoortant office is that of the United States District Attorneyship. That appointment has been In the bal ance for over a year, and some of the politicians have called for a show-down on the partof the powers that be. John H. .Hall has been United States District Attorney for some time, but It was supr posed that Judgfe J. C. Moreland would be given the place for past political fa vors. Time over and again the rumor has gone forth that Judge Moreland was to be the successor of Mr. Hall. Last Spring the story was started that as soon as the timber land frauds were disposed of Mr. Hall would be removed, and the promises made years ago fulfilled. The day has not arrived and Mr. Hall is stm doing business at tho old stand. Senator Mitchell and Congressman Hermann are reported to want Hall removed and that Senator Fulton and Congressman Wil liamson want him retained. There Is also going to be a squabble over the selection of tho Collector of Port at Yaquina, There are so many out for the position that Blnger Hermann, if -he Is correctly reported, does not know who should have the place. Senator Mitchell is out of the city, and so Is W. F. Mat thews. Either one might bo aple to say who the man will be, but as neither Sen ator Fulton nor Congressman William son are here, the name of the successful candidate is in the air. Senator Mitchell has decided that he must have some rest He left the city last night with a statement at the Part land Hotel that ho would not return un til Monday. When Senator Mitchell does get back. he will find Senator Fulton on hand, and tho two Congressmen ready to settle the questions which are pending. There may be a few postofllce matters to settle also. Monday is the day Jor business, ana business will be done when the delega tion gets together. The Queen of Hearts. Boston Transcript Tho sun rises; the sun sets. That is the history of all dynasties and succes sions. Yet, In the right of her lost throne, Queen Margherlta of Italy reigns supreme over a pathetic little kingdom of memories. When she stirs abroad there is always a little Roman crowd to stand by and cheer faintly, "Ia nostra Reglna, la nostra Margherlta!" They know they ought not to. They know that not Mar gherlta but Helen Is Queen. Yet Into their faint cheers they manage to crowd a bit of that homage which constitutes Mar gherlta queen of her fugitive realm. That doman is oven more eerie than the pope s temporary sway. Sho has not even a great, wide, human belief to rule. She is a queen of hearts. She rules over Qld Italy's regret that so noble a woman should have no more a throne. That regret even assembles about Mar gherlta a diminutive court. There a few faithful worshipers cling on and laugh and dance and courtesy to her gracious maj esty, and so defy reality. It is a little decorative incident in the wide humdrum of the world from day to day. Once in a while Margherlta takes a step out of doors and innocently and uncon sciously Imparts a Jar to Weltpolitik. She pays a pious visit to her old friend, Car dinal Sarto, now the pope, and the world raises an eyebrow over such a shock to the established order of nature. Meanwhile, King Victor Emmanuel is possessed of a wish for simplicity In the ordering of his own court He wishes few aides for himself and but few attendants for his Queen. It is said that no one of those about the King exerts over him any thing bordering on Influence. The King has respect for the constitution. He sees his Ministers frequently and asks their views. But he takes pains that they shall see him in a body always, and speak their mind In a body, that no one of them may obtain his ear- to the exclusion of the others. And so his court moves on, too. But there are those in Italy who fancy that In all the gayety of his house there is 'wanting an elusive something which was felt in the court before him that has vanished. ' Rebuking a Sophomore.
