The Makers of Maps. riiti't is scarcely a single cause in which a woman is not fngaKcd In some way fomenting tlie suit.--Juvenal. "Then you offer me no hope, doc tor?" The gray r*?nne of Dr. Samuel Ward waved like a fighting crest as hs iiiadt? answer: "Not the sort of hope you ask." A moment later he added: John, 1 am ashamed of you." The cynical smile of the man I called my chir' still remained upon his lipfc, tlie sa;i:e drawn look of suf­ fering btiil remained upon his gaunt features; but in his blue eye I saw a glint which proved that the answer of his old friend had struck out some unused spark of vitality from the deep, cold fifht of his heart. "I never knew you for a coward, Calhoun," went on Dr. Ward; "nor any of your family. I give you now the benefit of my personal acquain­ tance with this generation of the Cal- houns. 1 ask something more of you than faint heartedness." The keen eyes turned upon him again with the old flame of flint which a generation had known--a genera­ tion, for the most part, of enemies. "Did not Saul fall upon his own sword? ' asked John Calhoun. "Have not devoted leaders from the start of the world till cow sometimes rid the scene of the responsible figures in lost fights, the men oti whom blame rested for failures?" "Cowards!" rejoined Dr. Ward. "Cowards, every one of them! Were there nut other swords upon which they n.ight have fallen--those of their enemies "It is not my own hand--mv own sword. Sam, ' said Calhoun. "Not that. You know as well as I that 1 am already marked and doomed, even as I sit at my table to-night. A walk of a wet n;p:ht here in Washington--a turn along the Heights out there when the wiuter wind is keen--yes, Sam, I see my grave before me, close enough; but how can I rest easy in that grave? Man, vtfc have not yet dreamed how great a country thts may be. We must have Texas. We must have also \ Oregon. We must have--" 1 "Free"' The old doctor shrugged | his shoulders and smiled at the arch j pro-slavery exponent. | "Then, since you mention It, yes!"! retorted Calhoun fretfully. "But I j shall not go into the old argument of those who eay that black is white, I (hat south is north. It is only for my ! own race that I plan a wider America, j But then--1 Calhoun raised a long, J thin hand "Why," he went on slow-j fv, "!• have just told you that I have j failed. And yet you, my old friend, ] whom I ought to trust, condemn me | to live on!" j "Yet ." he said, at length,' I condemn you to fight on, John;" and he smiled | grimly | "Why. look at you, man!" he'brokei out fiercely, after a' moment. "The | type and picture of combat! Good oonc, fine bone and hard; a hard head and bony; little eye, set deep; strong, wiry muscles, not too big--fighting muscles, not dough; clean limbs; strong lingers; good arms, legs, neck; wide chest--" "Then you give me hope?" Calhoun flashed a smile at him. "No, sir! If you do your duty, there !s 110 hope for you to live. If you do not do your duty, there is no hope for you to die, John Calhoun, for more than two years to come--perhaps five vears--six. Keep up this work--as you must, my friend--and you die as surely as though I shot you through as you eit there. Now, is this any comfort to you?" A gray pallor overspread my mas­ ter's face. That truth is welcome to no man. morbid or sane, sound or ill; I but brave men meet it as this one did. j Time to do much!" lie murmured | to himself. "Time to mend many j broken vessels, in those two years, j One more fight yea, let us have it!" j But Calhoun the man was lost once 1 more in Calhoun the visionary, the ! fanatic statesman. He summed up. as though to himself, something of the! situation which then existed at Wash-1 ington. J "Yes. the coast is clearer, now that j Webster is out of the cabinet, but Mr. j Upshur's death last month brings in I new complications. Had he remained ! our secretary of state, much might j have been done. It was only last Oc- J tober he proposed to Texas a treaty | of annexation " 1 "Yes, and found Texas none pel eager,' frowned Dr. Ward. I "No; and why not? You and I know , well enough. Sir Richard Pakenham, the Knglish plenipotentiary here, could tell if he liked. Eugland is busy in Texas. Texas owes large funds to England. England want Texas as a colony. There is fire under this smoke talk of Texas dividing into two gov­ ernments, one. at least, under Eng­ land's gentle and unselfish care' "And now, look you," Calhoun con­ tinued, rising, and pacing up and down, "look what is the evidence. Van Zandt. charge d'affaires in Wash- . ington ior the Republic of Texas, | wrote Secretary Upshur only a month 1 before Upshur's death, and told him j to go carefully or he would drive j Mexico to resume the war, and so cost; Texas the lrirndship of England! Ex-, cellent Mr. Van Zandt! I at least 1 »cnow what the friendship of England ! means. So, he asks us if we will pro- j tect Texas with troops and ships in j case she does sign that agreement of annexation. Cunning Mr. Van Zandt! 1 He knows what that answer must be to-day. with Kngland ready to light us for Tfcxus and Oregon both, and we whol'v unready for war." "But, John, another will have to Ufm |bwhS glliSis .f»ssL r ! i i *1 Don't Pretend ic Know Now All You Mean." make it, the one way or the other," said his friend. "Yes!" The long hand smote on the table. "President Tyler has offered you Mr. Upshur's portfolio as secretary of Btate?" "I have not yet accepted," said Cal­ houn. "If I do, it will be to bring Texas and Oregon into this Union, one slave, the other free, but both vast, and of a mighty future for u.i. That done, 1 resign at once." "Will you accept?" Calhoun's answer was first to pick up a paper from his desk. "See, here is the dispatch Mr. Pakenham brought from Lord Aberdeen of the British ministry to Mr. Upshur Just two days before his death. Judge whether Aberdeen wants liberty--or territory! In effect he re asserts England's right to interfere in our affairs. We fought one war to disprove that. England has said enough on this continent. And England has meddled enough " Calhoun and Ward looked at each other, sober in their realization of the grave problems which then beset American statesmanship and Amer­ ican thought. The old doctor was first to break the silence. "Then do you accept? Will you serve again, John?" "Usten to me. If I do accept, I shall take , Mr. Upshur's and Mr. Nelson's place only on one condition--yes, if I do, here is what I shall say to Eng­ land regarding Texas. I shall show her what a Monroe doctrine is; shall show her that vfhile Texas is small and weak, Texas and thi§ republic are not. This is what I have drafted as a possible reply. I shall tell Mr. Paken­ ham that his chief's avowal of Inten­ tions has made it our imperious duty, in self-defense, to hasten the annexa­ tion of Texas, cost what it may, mean what it may! John Calhoun does not shillyshally. "That will^be my answer," repeated my chief at last "Yes, I shall have Texas, as I shall have Oregon, settled before I lay down my arms, Sam Ward. No, I am not yet ready to die!" Calhoun's old fire now flamed in all his mien. "The situation is extremely diffi­ cult," said his friendly slowly. "It must be done; but how? We are as a nation not ready for war. You as a statesman are not adequate to the politics of all this. Where lu your political party, John? You have none. You have outrun ail parties. It will be your ruin, that you have been honest!" Calhoun turned on him swiftly. "You know as well as I that mere politics will not serre. It will take some extraordinary measure -- you know men--and, perhaps, women." "Yes," said Dr. Ward, "and a pre­ cious silly lot they are." Calhoun nodded, with a thin smile. "As it chances, I need a man. Ergo, and yery plainly, I must use a wom­ an! "There are two women in our world to-day," said Calhoun. "As to Jack­ son, the old fool was a monogamist, and still is. Not so much so Jim Polk of Tennessee. Never docs he ap­ pear in public with eyes other than for the Dona Lucrezia of the Mexican legation! Now, one Against the other -Mexico against Austria--" Dr. Ward raised his eyebrows in perplexity. "That is to say, England, and not Austria," went on Calhoun coldly. "The* ambassadress of England to America was born in Budapest! So 1 say, Austria; or perhaps Hungary, or some other country, which raised this strange representative who has made some stir in Washington here these last few weeks." "Ah, you mean the baroness!" ex­ claimed Dr. Ward. "Tut! Tut!" Calhoun nodded, with the same cold, tfetn smile "Yes," he said, "I mean Mr. Pakenham's reputed mistress, his assured secret agent and spy, the beautiful Baroness von Ititz!" He mentioned a name then well known in diplomatic and social life, when intrigue in Washington, if not open, was none too well hidden. "Gay Sir Richard!" he resumed. ' You know, his ancestor was a broth­ er-in-law of the duke of Wellington. He himself Seems to have absorbed some of the great duke's fondness for the fair. Before he came to us he was with England's legation in Mexi­ co. 'Twas there he first met the Dona Lucrezia. 'Tis said he would have remained in Mexico had it not been arranged that she and her hus- j band, Senor Yturrio, should accompany j Gen. Almonte In the Mexican ministry here. On these conditions. Sir Rich-] ard agreed to accept promotion as j minister plenipotentiary to Washing-) ton!" "That was nine years ago. com­ mented Dr. Ward. "Yes; and it was only last fall that he was made envoy extraordinary. He is at least an extraordinary envoy! Near 50 years of age, he seems to for­ get public decency; he forgets even the Dona Lucrezia, leaving her to the admiration of Mr. Polk and Mr. Van Zandt, and follows off after the sprightly Baroness von Ritz. Mean­ time, Senor Yturrio also forgets the Dona Lucreaia, and proceeds also to follow after the baroness--although with less hope than Sir Richard has taste! The Baroness von Ritz has brains and beauty both. It is she who is England's real envoy. Now, 1 be­ lieve she knows England's real inten­ tions as to Texas." Dr. Ward screwed his lips for a long whistle, as he contemplated John Calhoun's thin, determined face. "I do not care at present to say more," went on my chief; "but do you not see. granted certhin motives, Polk might come into power pledged to the extension of our southwest borders--" "Calhoun, are you mad?" cried his friend. "Would you plunge this coun­ try into war? Would you pit two peo­ ples, like cocks on a floor? And would you use women in our diplomacy?" Calhoun now was no longer the friend, th(< humanitarian. He was the relentless machine; the idea; the sin­ gle purpese. which to the world at large he had been all his life In con­ gress. in cabinets on this or the other side of the throne of American power. He spoke coldly as he went on; "In these matters it is not a ques­ tion of means, but of results. If war comes, let it come; although I hope it will not come. As to the use of wom­ en--^tell me, why not women?- Why arything else but women? It is only playing life against life; one variant against another. That is politics, my friend. I want Pakenham. So, 1 must learn what Pakenham wants. Does he want Texas for Lngland, or the Baroness von Ritz for himself?" Ward still sat and looked at him. "My God!" said he at last, softly; but Calhoun weut on: "Why, who has made the maps of the world, and who has written pages in its history? Who makes and un­ makes cities and empires and repub­ lics to-day? Woman, and not man! Are you so ignorant--and you a physi­ cian, who know them both? Gad. man, you do not understand your own profession and yet you seek to coun­ sel me in mine!" "Strange words from you, John," commented his friend, shaking his head; "not seemly for a man who stands where you stand to-day." "Strange weapons--yts. If I could always use my old weapons of tongue and brain 1 would not need these per haps. Now you tell me my time is short. 1 must fight now to win. I have never fought to lose. I cannot be too nice in agents and instru ments." The old doctor rose and' took a turn up and down the little room, one of Calhoun's modest menage at the na­ tion's capital, which then was not the city it is to-day. Calhoun followed him with even steps. "Changes of maps, my friend? Lis ten to nie. The geography of America for the next i">0 years rests under a little roof over in M street to-night-- a roof which Sir Richard secretly maintains. The map of the United States, I tell you. is covered with a down counterpane a deux, to-night. You ask me to go on with my fight. I answer, first I must iind the wom­ an. Now, 1 say I have found her, at you know. Also, I have told you where I have found her Under a counterpane! Texas, Oregon, these United States under a counterpane!" Dr. Ward sighed as he shook hia head. "1 don't pretend to know now all you mean." Calhoun whirled on him fiercely, with a vigor which his wasted frame did not indicate as possible "Listen, then, and I will tell you what John Calhoun means--John Cal houn, who has loved his own state, who has hated those who hated him, who has never prayed for those who despitefully used him, who lias fought and will fight, since all insist on that. It is true Tyler has offered me again to-day the portfolio of secretary of state. Shall I take it? If I do. it means that I am employed by this ad ministration to secure the admission of Texas. Can you believe me wlitn I tell you that my ambition is for it all--all. every foot of new land, west to the Pacific, that we can gel. slave or free? Can you believe John Cal houn. pro-slavery advocate and ora­ tor all his life, when he says that he believes he is an humble instrument destined, with God's aid. and through the use of such instruments as our human society affords, to build, not a wider slave country, but a wider America?" "It would be worth the light of a few years more. Calhoun." gravely an swered his old friend. "I admit 1 had not dreamed this of you "History will not write it of me, perhaps," went on my chief "But you tell me to fight, and now I shall fight, and in my own way. 1 tell you, that answer shall go to Pakenham. And 1 tell you Pakenham shall not dare tc take offense at me. War with Mexico we possibly, indeed certainly, shall have. War on the northwest, too, we yit may have unless--" He paused; and I)r. Ward prompted him some j moments later, as lie still remained in t h o u g h t I "Unless w h a t , J o h n ? W h a t d o y o u I mean--still hearing the rustle of ! skirts" | "Yes'--unless tlie cehbrated Bar- j oness Helena von Ritz sa>s other I wise!" replied he grimly "How dignified a diplomacy have we here! You plan war between two embassies on the distaff side! smiled Dr. Ward. Calhoun continued his walk. "I do not say so," he made answer; but, it there must be war, we may reflect that war Is at Its best when woman is in the field!"

Evening Cioaks Have Kimono-Shaped Shoulders and Sleeves--Pretty Lit­ tle Maniie Suitable for the Young or Middle Aged. Fashion's moods are many sided where wraps are concerned, for there are so many examples In coats said cloaks thai It is impossible to affirm . \ n •mi m * p \ <m. . l\imm !Li JmMKBSaim mm A Pretty Mantle Suited to Youth and Middle Age. that any one style is the thing. The popular coat that goeB with a plain walking suit is pretty well defined, however, especially when the garment Is Inexpensive and ready made, all the' efforts of the makers being toward 36- lnch length coats and short skirts, eith- | er gored or with side or black plaits. These trim suits which effect a very narrow silhouette and sometimes dis­ play the much abused hobble influ­ ence, are made of mannish worsteds, broadcloth, novelty tweeds, corduroy, and so on, but whether plain or trim­ med the significant points to consider are the cut and nt. When It comes to the separate wrap, the long, short or three-quarter gar­ ment, fashion is extravagant and daz- Bling in any length. For handsome eve­ ning wraps and the more elegant day ones, materials woven with gold and silver are much to the fore, the rich backgrounds of the hoary silks and wools showing a glint of the met­ als with the weaving, and #over all broad palm-leaf designs In the solid j tinsels, or maybe superb flower ef­ fects. Beads are much used, with a decided preference for steel, these threaded over veiling, cloth, chiffon, or what not, with seme other trim­ ming Introduced, and almost a posi­ tive assurance of steel fringes some­ where. Then color, the most da*- zling color, Is de rlguer, and one sees evening wraps in every startling hue from Indian red to peacock blue. In point of cut, almost all evening wraps lean to the kimono shaping of shoulders and sleeves, for this style is without exception the most graceful thing the seasou has to offer. Few all white wraps are seen, the preference being for shades of cham­ pagne, maize and brownish creams, which cloaks in the finest conceiv­ able textures, are made further daz­ zling with broad bands of gold and sil­ ver braid outlined here and there with a narrow band of dark fur, or mara­ bou. Sometimes a splendid coat on this order will be shown with a match­ ing muff and theater cap, the three pieces a blaze of superb trimming, and yet the models themselves showing a certain coquettish simplicity. The practical coat, the long or three- quarter garment which is so handy for traveling, has not altered greatly in line. There is an effort of the mafiers to use the puckering band even here, but such models being Impracticable, they are overlooked by all but a few persons of extreme tastes. The illustration shows a little man­ tle which might be made at home in a day and which is as suited to the el­ derly wearer as to the young ma­ tron. As pictured the smart little wrap is part of the costume, which is a golden-brown cloth. Soutache braid and a brown silk fringe form the trim­ ming, a little of the braid twisted into cords being used to tie up the stole ends at the front with a tassel effect For an elderly lady who intends going south for the colder part of winter this wrap would be very attractive, made of her gown material, or of rep silk or velvet A matching muff would give it a still further elegance--this very big with ruffles at the openings. UNKIND JOLT FROM ADAM Aa If Eve Hadn't Sorrow Enough, Her Partner Had to Add to the Affliction. Adam had Just received his aoflet of ejectment. He stared at It a long time fa silence, while Eve. crouched ia a dusky corner, softly whimpered. Presently the father of mankind looked around. As Eve caught his angry eye her whimper changed to a gulping sob. "Well,"'he said sternly, "you've cer­ tainly put us in a fine mess with your silly curiosity! And yet when I refused to have anything to do with your apple scheme you called me • poor tool. Do you remember that you called me a poor fool?" "Ye-es :" sohhed Eve. "Well, there's just one question I want to ask you?" said Adam. "What is it?" gasped the first mother. "Who's looney now?" he harshly demanded. Then he turned away abruptly and started to pack up the family gourds and the tent poles.--Cleveland Plata Dealer. Some people are born vulgar and others achieve it.

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED "Our little daughter, when thre* months old, began to break out on th« head and we had the best doctors to treat her, but they did not do her any good. They said she had eczema. Her scalp was a solid scale all over. The burning and itching was so severe that she could not rest, day or night Wa had about given up &11 hopes when wa read of the Cutlcura Remedies. We at once jot. ft enke of Ontlmir* box of Cutlcura Ointment and (me bot­ tle of Cutlcura Resolvent, and foi> lowed directions carefully. After ths first dose of the Cutlcura Resolvent, we used the Cutlcura Soap freely and applied the Cutlcura Ointment Then she began to improve rapidly and In two weeks the scale came off her head and new hair began to grow. In a very short time she was well. She la now sixteen years of age and a plo* txire of health. We used ths Cut«= cura Remedies about Ave weeks, reg­ ularly, and then we could not tell sha had been affected by the disease.

I HOW TO TRANSFER PATTERNS HANGING HOLDER FOR A FERN 8imple Method of Imprinting Em­ broidery Designs on Linen by the Use of Carbon Paper. Several correspondents have asked me to explain the method of transfer­ ring the patterns given on this page to linen or other material, for their own use in embroidering. The method is a simple one of carbon paper trans­ ference. Put you linen down flat on a hard ! table; over it place a sheet of car- | bon paper large enough to cover the I design; over this the design itself. | Draw all over the design with a hard 1 pencil, or any sharp-pointed object j which will not cut the paper, and your 1 design will be transferred to the linen. ! When the whole pattern is not given, | measure and repeat, until the design ! is completed. ! If you wish, you can dispense with | the carbon paper . Fasten your design j j by pins or thumbtacks firmly to the I frame of a window, place your linen j j over it and draw as before. A lighted lampshade will do In the evening. I However, you must be very careful; j and the method will not work at all If your linen is too thick for the de­ sign to shine through.--Exchange, How to Make a Practical and Pretty Article of Circular Tin Covered With Soft Silk.

The possession of a great memory does not necessarily mean a strong in­ tellect. Mozart, when only 13 years old played a new opera from one hearing, which had been composed es­ pecially to test his skill. But in addi­ tion to reproducing the opera from memory without missing a note, he in­ troduced in the second playing the va­ riations, which struck his cultured hearers dumb with amazement. Blind Tom could probably have reproduced the same opera. He did play Liszt s celebrated Hungarian opera after hear­ ing it once without missing a note, but he could not have created what Mozart did. He had Mozart's mem ory, but not his intellect. A Proof of It. -Do you believe in auto hypnosis?* •*Can you doubt it when you see how ^»i machine is behaving*" Oliver Plunkett.

Must Choose Carefully. j Gray haired women are prone to wear brown, choosing it as a quiet, dignified color suited to their years. But brown is a distinctly young color, or rather it takes a young looking per­ son to wea. it well and it is extreme­ ly unbecoming to gray hair. Black, gray, mauve and some of tbe silvery greens are the best colors for women whose hair has turned gray. Stout women have to be very care­ ful in their selection of colors, for light shades make them look larger, while black, dark blue, green and brown have a subduing effect ou their curves and contours. A woman who <s excessively tall and thin should avoid the very dark colors, especially black, as they will accentuate her lines and give her a somewhat spec­ tral appearance.--The Delineator No Union. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, at a luncheon at the Colony club In New York, urged on women the necessity for union. "If we are to get the vote." aha said, "we must stand together.
