A Good Wife For Some One. ? i A Kansas erirl trrndnnfe ^ had been assigned the theme, '"Heyon d the, Alps Lies Italy," wrote this essay: "I do not cave a cent whether Italy lies beyond the Alps or in Miss-! ouri. 1 do not expect to set the river on (ire with my future career. 1 I am glad that I have a very good education, hut I am not going to misuse it by writing poetry or essays on the future woman. It will enable me to correct the grammar of any lover 1 may have, should lie,: speak of 'dorgs' in my presence or 'seen a man.' It will also come: handy when I want to figure out how many pounds of soap a woman ' can get for three dozen eggs at the grocery. So I do not begrudge the time I spent in acquiring it. "But my ambitions do not fly so high. I just want to marry a man who can lick anybody of his weight;, in the township, who can run an J eighty-acre farm, and who has no female relatives to come around and ' try and I kiss the ranch. 1 will agroo v to cook dinners for him that won't send him to an early grave, anil lavish upon him a wholesome af-:! fcction, and to see that his razor has . not been used to cut broom wire . when he wants to shaVo.

Stupendous Disaster to be Shown In Miniature at. the Jamestown Exposition. (ClIAlll.ks Fkkdkimck Stansiu ky.) Norfolk, Va., May 25th.?The destruction of San Francisco by earthquake and (ire is to he made the subject of the rttnst elaborate mechanical spectacle ever devised, I which is to he seen next year at the i Jamestown Tor-Centennial, near j Norfolk, on the borders of Hamp! Roads, Virginia. The spectacle is to he on the lines of the Johnstown ! and (ialveston Hood productions. The New York man who controls a ! largo tract of space for amusement concessions at the Jamostwn Tercentennial Kx position next year said: "Artists and photographers ! are already on their way to San Francisco to get the material for reproducing the disaster in miniature, with fidelity of every detail. It is probable that the spectacle will he worked out. under the direction of 10. J. AllStili. thi> lunrliJi ' * ' | who made successes of the Johns! town llood at the Buffalo Exposi' tion and the (ialveston llood at the 'St. Louis World's Fair, hoth of j which arc now at Coney Island.' 'From a showman's standpoint the. | Frisco disaster offers great possihili1 ties and wc arc going to take ad1 vantage of them.'' Ti.e destruction of the great American city with the miraculous | escape of the hulk of its -100,000 ; inhabitants, out-classes in interest land dramatic effeet most of the I great disasters in tin* history of the world. The drama of this dreadful event as reproduced in miniature at the Jamestown Kxpo.-ition will bring it before the mind of the heholder with a vividness second only to having seen the actual event. In fact, it will give a far clearer idea of the frightful ruin of a great city in a few monn nts than could possibly have been gained by being present in the western city at the time of its destruction. This is true because it will be seen in its ; entirety, a thing impossible to tuns ; who was actually in the horror, and it will be seen without the nat| ural fright and min^araM^|^p| Jamestown Exposition the drama of ruin will set forth with all the romantic interest^ that attaches to the history of the last days of Pompeii and Ilerculaneum.
