Ryan's personality.
la politics tad philanthropy, Mr
Syu has moved aa quietly aa la tb
business and financial world. He
•till a resident of Virginia where hv
baa a loom acre, estate. In tha Si.
Louis convention last year be aat aa
a delegate from hta native atata. Mr.
Belmont and Mr. Sheehan were moat
prominent In tbs management of the
Parker campaign, but before It was
over no one gave mors of advice or
mono to the Parker forces than did
Mr. Ryan. In New York his relations
with Tammany are friendly, but not
Intimate, for Ryan la a Democrat of
the Cleveland-Parkar sort and Tam-
many politics does not seem to Inter-
est him.
To learn that Thomas F. Ryan as a
dispenser of charity has given away
several millions of dollars In a few
years, «6,000,000 soma say, la almost
as surprising aa the realisation that
be la a financial power second only to
Rockefeller. Catholic Institutions,
acbool|, churches and hospitals era
the principal beneficiaries, but tha
whole list of them would make a var-
ied exhibit of Mr. Ryan's Interests.
Hla wife is his almoner, and the Fifth
avenue house at the corner of Twelfth
street contains a well equipped bureau
for handling the many demands made
upon the Ryan purae. One can not
help counting It to hla credit that ha
has given away so much and let ao
little about hla gifts become known.
An Interview with Mr. Ryan la apt
to be a very one sided affair. The in-
terviewer does most of the talking,
while the man who la supposed to talk
only listens. Those who have busi-
ness dealings with the capitalist find
him the same taciturn Individual, the
•ort of man who is thinking too hard

Packing!own’s Water.
One of the appalling disclosures
made by Mr. Charles Edward Russell
In the final Installment of the “Great-
est Trust In the World," In Every-
body's Magazine for August Is the fol-
lowing:
’Water It a great matter in Packing-
town Now In Chicago the city owns
and operates the water Bupply Large
users ol water are supplied through
meters and pay according to the
amount they consume. For n long
time the small sums paid for water
by the parking houses had aroused
annual comment. In 1900 the unin-
formed public broke out Into such gen-
era) clamor about tbe obvious leakage
thatthe city authorities, somewhat be-
latedly, one would think, began an In-
vestigation Men with pickaxes and
spade* unaoveiped the public mains
about Packlngtown. Before long they
had discovered that every considera-
ble packing house had secret connec-
tions with the water supply. There
were pipes of various sizes, three Inch
and four Inch, six Inch and eight Inch,
each leading from tbe city’s conduits
to tha works of some packing company
In some cases tunnels had been driven
under the streets to the mains, and
taps Inserted In one case the mains
themselves had been diverted from
the highway through the works, and
in these city owned pipes one flnau
had planted three great pumps, busy
engaged in drawing water. And for
all this supply thus surreptitiously ob-
tained the packers paid not a cent"
“So glad you finally managed to
visit u»," said Mrs. Bluegore, of Vir-
ginia.
’'First of all, come right Into tha
oleture gallerv; I want to show you
my old masters-"

of Chicago "l don’t know you was

Commodore Somerville Nicholson
of the United States Navy, in a letter
from 1837 R street, Northwest. Wash-
ington, D. C., says:
“Your Parana has bean and la no®

A Child's Prayer.
Little Helen waa a firm believer la
prayer, aaya the Argonaut, and waa
always In attendance at family devo-
tions. During'a season of drought bar
father said to her one morning: “Do
not let me forget to have a special
prayer for rain tonight, aa the want of
It is causing much suffering and many
deaths among animals.”
Her father had hardly left the
house when little Helen .thinking she
would do much good by anticipating
her father's prayer for rMn, ran up
stairs, and falling on her knees, pray-
ed for rain. That afternoon the town
In which she lived was visited by a
derere electric shower—barns weg*
unroofed and much damage done. Hel-
en, with the ready faith of childhood,
thinking it was all In answer to her
prayer, again fell on her knees, ex-
claiming, “Lord, what have I doner
A Shocking Confession
Benedict Is a New Hamshlre man
who has been e^ht times tbe father
ot a bouncing bounder. In the out-
skirts o tbe university city is a little
town among the hills named Prospect,
and last year four of the children, were
sent there for the summer.
One day Benedict and his wife en-
tertained at dinner n new acquaint-
inoe. Prof. B. The professor is a
bachelor, and, like many echol^y
men, rather 111 at ease In society.
"What a fine little family of child-
ren you have,-’ he began with an ad-
miring glance at the tour-stay-at-
homes.
"Yesr Indeed," replied Benedict
proudly, "and we have four more In
Prospect."
The professor blushed his astonish-
uent.—Lippincott’s.

Tha facta are. a good many haa-
haada are henpecked.
Everyone wants to always be ahla IB
work, but not to always have to.
If you don't Ilka cert-In pi rare®
how you hate to hear their nosy rat*
tta.
Hare la one sign that you are talk-
tag too much: When your listen®
tries to pull away from you.
Every time you hear a henpecked
husband, you hear of a woman arte
la brutally beaten by her husband.
Spring chicken never gets so cheap
that tbe husband o a woman who la
B poor cook can afford to buy It.
Suppose you were sent out Into the
woods to chop wood at a dollar a day?
How much would you chop?
If a woman la the needed kind of a
helpmate for her husband she has to
dc all the fighting in convincing him
that every defeat Isn't a Waterloo.
It la all right for a "sweet sensitive
soul” to appear In the novels, but It te
terribly uncomfortable get Ing along
with any of them outside of hooka.
Oh, well, If you are suffering from
uareqnitted love, take consolation la
tbe fact that years hence you will
think It a miner frlef compared with
losing your teeth.
When a woman has but one child
•he doea not aee that It Is apollad to
death and Is apt to talk a great of tha
folly of having so many children that
their parents "can’t raise them right.”
It la said of a newly engaged Atchl-
aon girl that she wondered why aha
was so happy, and aat down to ponder
It out Then ahe discovered that It
waa really nothing, and she wasn’t ao
happy.—Atchison Globe.

Society is where you go when yo are
Invited wich aint vary ofen unless you
have the doe to spend, if you nave the
doe It doant maik no difference where
you get it, you can go to all the dancei
and dinners you want to but If you aint
got the doe you can only go to the
dances they have on Saturday nit-a
and that aint aociety, It la only 53
cants for genu and ladlea free.
If a man ft hla wife and there chil-
dren want to git Into society they malk
there money and then move to sum
other place where everyone ainr on to
them and thay go rite Into society.
Sumtimes they go to church too, but

Shipping Wild Animals.
Of all the creatures to be seen at
zoological gardens snakes are probably
the most easy to ship from one country
to another. Lions are not very
troublesome. Considering their size
and strength, the box® in which they
travel look out of all proportion, but
there is method in placing uteae ani-
mals In small cages or boxes, be-
cause it deprives them of tne chsnca
to get a good spring. Snakes taka
very little room and tnroughout a
long voyage give not the least trouble.
They do not require to be feed, nor do
they require looking after in nay othor
war- Pythons starring on a long
voyage are put into a large doth bag
and tied up. The bag is supped into
a box just big enough to ho*, it tad
a piece ot cloth is nailed over the
tele cut In the top of the box. No-
body pays any further attention to
fha reptile until It reach® Its desti-
nation.
