VOLUME XXIX, NUMBER 8. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1912. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. Installation Exercises. Knights of Pythiae—Large Attendance—Bishopate Meeting Over 600 Officers There. Despite the inclemency of the weather, a crowd of officers throughed the First Baptist Church last Tuesday night, 16th inst. 15 attend the installation of the officers of the sub- ordinate lodges of the Knights of Pythiae, N. A., B. A., E., A. and A. and the subordinate courts of the Order of Calanthe. TROUBLE WITH THE GAS. Owing to trouble with the gaspipe there was but a dawn light from the gas flutures and some of the timid ones were fearful lost the exercises could not take place. In the lecture room below the electric lights were burning brightly. Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr. sent District Deputy Robert Gray to get candles. CANDLE BURN BRIGHTLY. When he returned the table was lighted with eight of them and the Grand Chancellor announced that he was ready to proceed. District Deputy Grand Worthy Counsellor, Anna Taylor, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal Thomas M. Grump, Grand Master of Rushoeque H. F. Jonathan and Grand Master at Arms W. Henry James occupied seats on the rostrum. BEAUTIFUL DECORATIONS The polish and chin gallery were magnificently deserved with Python and Calcite colors. A large portrait of Grand Chancellor John Mithil oil, Jr. depicted a prominent place on the floor of the chin gallery, surrounded by artfully plastered and white walls to add to the beauty of the scene. REV. BINFORD PRAYED. The subdued light heightened rather than hindered the effect. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. H. Binford. Hymns were sung from the floor and the coatshes of the evening was displeased by the warmth of the ardor displayed by those who had braved the rigors of the weather o participate in the exercises. The lodge and court officers checked off on the blanks provided for the purpose the names of these officers present. SUBORDINATE BODIES RALLY. Every lodge out of 34 in Richmond with the absorption of two paid the 50 cents assessment for installation expense and every court but 12 out of 29 in this city had done the same thing. The Grand Chancellor was in a happy frame of mind as he declared that owing to the inconveniences under which they were laboring his remarks would be brief. He proceeded to install the officers and by 10 o'clock the work had been completed. THE CLOSING SCENE. By 10:15 P. M. he was ready for the benediction which was announced by Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D.: Those who attended the meeting were jubilant, pronouncing it to be one of the best ever held. A vote of thanks was tendered the Committee of Armenians consisting of Mina M. L. Chipin, Chasmanian, Mina. Anna Taylor, Mina Levy Open, Mina. Willard Johnson, Capt. Willie Wyatt. A vote of thanks was tendered the Grand Chancellor. ATTORNEY BEWIN'S DENIAL No Longer Command for Any True Reformer Offence. Richmond, Va., Jan. 12, 1912. Editor Richmond PLANET, My dear Sir: In your issue of January 18th in giving an account of counsel you represent the indicted men in connection with the failure of the Reformer Bank, you reported me an one of counsel for defense. I desire to come to you that I have retrial from this case. I am representing deposits in the called bank to the amount of $30,000 or 90 per cent. Some of my clients have complained to me that they do not desire the for sale a part in the deference of any editor of the bank, and at the same time represent their claims on the third side of the court against the Reformer. There is a biblical saying that a man should avoid harm the oppose to a piece of evil. To do so in the world would give the army will power over that man to one who is unhappy in the present state of the law. I think that he should not present it have formally accepted the law with love. Is Burned To a Crisp. Frightful Death of Colored Woman in Early Morning Fire. Horrible beyond description was the death of Eva Wade, a colored woman sixty-five years old, who was burned to a crisp Tuesday morning about 1:15 o'clock when her bedclothes in some unknown way became ignited from a stove near which she was sleeping. Neighbors early this morning noticed smoke issuing from one of the windows of the house and turned in the alarm. The woman had evidently rolled from her bed to the floor while in a blaze setting the house afire, which was burning fiercely when the fire department arrived. The house was a frame one, and fanned by a heavy wind the frames made great headway. When the woman was finally taken from the house she was dead, having been burned completely beyond recognition. The house was entirely destroyed. FIRE PLUG FROZEN. The woman was all alone in the house at the time the fire occurred, and it is permissible that no one heard her screams as it was only when the house was noticed to be affire that the alarm was given. The fire department was badly handicapped by the slippery condition of the streets, the intense cold and the heavy wind. Engine No. 5 and 8 responded as soon as was possible on the leaked streets. To add to the trouble the plug located at St. John and Hill streets was frozen and had to be thawed out by hot steam. Little time was lost, however, on account of this an other enemy was in the manner of the inter. The water dripping all over them, soon froze in the keen northwestern breeze which was blowing, enclosing them in a mantle of ice. The body of the woman was taken from the house and viewed by Coroner Taylor, who deemed an inquest unnecessary, as the manner of death was apparent. For a time, when the fire was at its height, several nearby dwellings were in danger, but the work of the department prevented this. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Officers Installed at Danville, Va. Danville, Va., Jan. 15, 1912—At the Castle Hall of Roman Eagle Lodge, No. 13, K. of P. on Wall street this city on Friday night, January 12th, the following officers were installed by the D. D. G. C., Sir George W. Rison for the ensuing term ending June 30, 1912: T. H. Smith, C. C.; Jacob Boorman, V. C.; T. H. Robinson, M. of F.; Joseph H. Johnson, M. of E.; J. M. Lawson, M. of R. and S.; S. O. Averett, M. of W.; C. B. Barnett, M. at A.; Edward Garrett, I. G.; William Barkedale, O. G.; James Newton, Prelate; J. H. Robinson, Grand Representative. After the installation a delightful collation was served to members and friends. Harry Mike, Jr., Drops Dead in Bank. Harry Ellis, Jr., Vito-President of the American Athletic Bithikhic Company, and a widely known manufacturer's agent, dropped dead shortly before 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon as he stepped into an elevator of the American National Bank building. Death came as Mr. Ellis was on his way to the Business Men's Club. His death was witnessed by half a dozen of friends and business associates. Just as he stepped in the elevator, he swayed, placed his hand to his throat and then fell face downward to the floor. Medical attention was hastily summoned, but nothing could be done for the stricken man. Death had been, from heart failure and was instantaneous. Johnson Spoke Truly Johnson Spoke Truly Looks as if He Will Not Fight Again in United States. When Jack Johnson, over in London, said that he was through with the United States, and never would fight here again, it looks as if he merely beat somebody to a statement of fact. The conditions themselves are not going to be brought about by the champion. Divers other persons, in various sections of our country are busying themselves with arrangements that threaten to preclude his appearance anywhere in Uncle Sam's domains. And as it stands, Johnson is a fighter willing to work—for his price—anywhere in the United States, but with only New York open to him. This latter State is not a certainty. If there were not a general impression that the Flynn and Johnson bout will fall through the other preparations to have the Nevada fight law wiped off the statute books already would be under way. A special session of the legislature is easily possible, and Nevada may demand one. There is no rush, for the best looks like a purely speculative proposition. Jack Curley, who manages Flynn, already has called off the Palmer bout-and is booking a theatrical tour for his man. This makes the Flynn end of the sketch look bad. HOW NEW YORK WILL BAR HIM. Australia, England, and California are closed to the champion. Young-town, Mo., this week, refused to let him box in exhibitions in a city that has been staging regular contests. New York has billed him now. In shows, men and women have also should refuse to repeat the Prawley law, might make it imperative by removing the commissioners. That this would be a possibility was proved yesterday, when Commissioner O'Neil, in declaring himself against Johnson to box in New York said that he would prevent the champion's appearance, if no other method was feasible, by resigning. This would leave a board of but one man, which would not be competent to issue licenses. Johnson, in Chicago yesterday, paused from denouncing Jim Corbett long enough to say that he could not be prevented from boxing in New York, and that he would "demand the rights of an American citizen." Jack may be all right in theory, but any time any fighter, or fight promoter, thinks he can put anything through that the authorities have decided to prevent, he shows that he is not conversant with history. Nevada's ironclad law cannot be gotten around, but it can be repealed. And, with the law still in force, that is the only State in the Union in which a fighter can win an argument with public opinion. CORBETT GETS SOME ADVERTISING. Both ends of the Johnson and Corbett argument worked, overtime yesterday, sending dispatches, respectively, from Chicago, and Boston. Corbett's latest is a promise to punch Johnson's nose if the neigher tries to shake hands with him whom they meet. Johnson previously had deserted in detail the methods by which he will handle Corbett. If the latter fails to crawl when they come together. The whole thing is splendid advertising for Corbett; and fair for Johnson, who does not need it quite so much. They probably will not be quite so belligerent as the day approaches for their meeting. Johnson has never been strong for mixing when there was no money in sight, and Corbett is pretty careful not to get hurt, with nothing to gain. He was mixed up, however, in one of the few alterations in which prominent fighters have changed in recent years, that being his somewhat famous affair with Pittimmonus, in Philadelphia. It was not a knockout and dragout, however. Both Johnson and Corbett are well aware that they cannot meet without having so many persons ground that it would be impossible for them to come to blow.

The following associates of the deceased were pall bearers: Acton Everett Johnson, Richard Johnson, Alvin White, Milton Dalway, Banks Randolph, Melvon Walker, Honorary - Clalborne Goe, Ripley, Forestland, Horace Scott, Sylvester Harris, Norvell Jones, Charles Campbell, Samuel Branch. A Ord. To our many friends far and near, who sent their expressions of sympathy, to console us in the hour of our sad bereavement in the loss of our son, Miles M. Bowler; which expressions were as a rift in the darkened cloud of our sorrow, a cheering ray to brighten our home; bidding us look upward; a spark of hope in our night of grief. For these manifestations do we take this medium of expressing to them our sincere thanks. Respectfully, REV. J. ANDREW BOWLER, AND WIFE. Brown—Anderson Baptals. Rev. R. J. Brown, D. D., pastor of the Day Star Baptist Church, 512 West 157th street, New York was married to Miss Beatrice Anderson on Thursday, December 29th at 11 o'clock at the residence of Dr. William T. Anthony, 1730 Wall street, South Richmond, Va., who performed the ceremony. The marriage party consisted of a few friends of the pastor. After the marriage ceremony, they left on the 12:30 train for New York city, to Dr. Brown's home, 163 West 161st street, which was prearranged for the bride. On Friday evening, December 29th the occasion at the church was the celebration of the pastor's tenth anniversary and reception tendered in honor of the marriage. The church was beautifully decorated by an artistic committee. Miss Beatrice Anderson is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Anderson of Buckingham Co., Va. We wish for Dr. and Mrs. Brown a long life and prosperity. Happrailing at Draken Branch; Va The oldest weather seen here for a long time struck here Friday and it continues cold.

Chicago, January 12.—Another Canadian town today came to the front with an offer for the Johnson and Flynn fight, Alberta, making the bid, and offering $50,000 to the contestants to transfer the affair from Nevada to the northwestern country. Barrier in the week another offer, for the same purse, had been received from Canadian promoters, but no attention had been paid to it. The Alberta proposition has been given no consideration as yet. On the other side of the border there seems to be a general conviction that Johnson and Flynn will not be able to get together anywhere in the States, because of the opposition generally, and the probability that the promoters will come to the conclusion that a Nevada bout, with Flynn as a party, will be a bloomer in the financial sense. It is not certain that Canada can stage the mill, in view of the fact that both England and Australia have barred the champion. Canada follows the mother country closely in many ways. FRAZEE TO SUR THE CHAMPION. H. H. Frasee, the theatrical manager to whom Johnson referred when he said that, Corbett and another person offered him $100,000 to lie down to the former champion, is threatening to make much trouble for the Negro. Frasee is well known in the East, and financed the Jedrison Gotch tour that preceded the Reno affair. He says that he will sue for damages. As Johnson has made certain affidavit that Corbett and Frasee presented the taking proposition, the theatrical man has a good case, unless Johnson can prove the truth of his affidavit. Frasee usually goes the route, and is expected to do so now. Johnson forgot these troubles today, and talked only on his coming fight with Flynn. He claims to believe that the bout will come off, and has reached the point where he is discussing referees. He says he will ask for Eddie Santry, one time a well-known featherweight. "He was once a grand boxer, knows all the fine points of the game, is still young active, and sharp-eyed, and a man capable of handling a big battle with coolness and precision," said Johnson today. "I am the champion and will have a whole lot to say on the referee question. Unless somebody shows me good reason why Santry should not be chosen I will hold out for him to the end. "The Flynn battle is going to be a finish affair. You know what a rough-and-ready mauler Flynn is. He is always tearing in and plumping away at-you from all angles. Like Tommy Burns he probably will try to make a body fight of it, and I want a referee who will force him to aim his punches above the belt line. Santry always has the fighters under full control when he is officiating and I can think of no better man for the job." Jack Curley, when told of Johnson's preference for referee, averred: "Well, Santry is a good fellow and a capable official. But a man of national reputation must be picked for this match. I am inclined to think some one else besides Santry will be chosen. Jack Welch, Ed. W. Smith or Bat Masterson would get my approval." While sleekling yesterday afternoon at Harrison and Taylor streets, Willie Clarke, twelve years old, of 1017 Taylor street, was run down and seriously hurt by a runaway horse owned by A. U. Tiller, a coal and wood dealer of West Cary street. The animal, which had been drawing a coal cart, became frightened and made a bolt down Harrison street snapping its harness and leaving the cart behind. Upon a small aid the boy was running down Taylor street, and in crossing Harrison he was run over by the horse. The boot of the animal struck him on the heel, fracturing his skull. The City Hospital was notified and in the noteworthy ambulance Dr. Watson responded. The child was taken to his house, where his wound was drained—Truss-Douglas, Jan. 30, 1918. News From Farmville. News From Farmville. Much Suffering from Cold Weather. Mind Act by a White Lady. Farmville, Va., Jan. 15, 1912—The cold weather has paralysed business in this section to the extent, along commercial lines, all have felt the effect. It is currently rumored that we are now experiencing the coldest weather we have had here for several years. There has been but little complaint so far of the cold weather. A notable and Christian-like act was done by a white lady which relieved to a great extent the suffering condition of one of the worthy sisters of our church. This white lady visited her home, found a little fire and heard her say she was cold. She went out and returned in a short while with a sack of wood upon her shoulder. The love in her soul for suffering humanity, the pressure of her Christian duty caused her to lose sight of the cold wind and the snow which was shoe deep. A great lesson is taught in this Christ-like act. We are sorry so many of our people are guilty, though professed Christians, members of the church and many classed as educated, yet they seem to be deprived of the love and self-sacrificial interest, for the good of others. If we read the Scriptures, they tell us whether or not with all our profession, we are his disciples and if we will not contine in such gross intelligence. Mrs. Emily Shortor of Philadelphia Pa. with her little daughter, Florence has been visiting Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson of Brampton street during and since the holidays. She stated that her visit to her birthplace was a very pleasant one. She was the guest of many homes while here, the inmates of which spared no means in making it pleasant for her. She returned on the 13th with many renewed recognitions of the things of her childhood and left behind a sweet remembrance in the bosoms of those who made her visit a pleasant one. Mrs. Sallie Bartlett of New Rochelle, N. Y. and her daughter Miss Ethel Bartlett of Norfolk, Va. have been here during and since the holidays greeting their friends. Mr. Columbus Ward of Blackstone, Va. is here visiting one of the fair sex who resides in the neighborhood of Buffalo and Grove streets. It looks as though he means business. He was informed should he need his services, the preacher lived at 218 South street. Mrs. Maria Thornton of Budd Hill has been reported sick. Mr. Alfred Farrar, the hustling Insurance Agent of the Southern, Aid Society has been suffering with a lame foot for a few days. Mr. A. F. Mason has moved to his home on Ely street. We are sorry to learn that the home of Mr. George Allen of Ely St. came near being destroyed by fire on last Sunday, just as they were in the act of leaving for church.

Edward Naah Dennis to Have Midnight Funeral, Conducted by Masses Edward Nash Dennis, night wire chief of the Western Union Telegraph Company at its Richmond office, dropped dead at his key in the Western Union building, 1217 East Main Street, yesterday afternoon at 1:35 o'clock. Although not ordinarily on duty at that hour, he had been called to the office early on account of the pressure of business, and was receiving messages on what is known as the "B" New York wire. He was just in the act of receiving a telegram, and had taken the number of the message and written the preliminary letters, "B 35, N. Y. D," when he was seen to fall forward over his typewriter and when physicians could be reached he was pronounced dead. He had been in bad health for more than a year past, though continuing regularly to perform his duties. Times Dispatch, Jan. 16. '12. Atlanta, Ga., January 13.—Dr. W. J. Chipin, aged seventy-one, Bishop of the First Episcopal District of the African M. B. Church, South, died here tonight after a short illness. He had a bishop for thirty years. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. Two Hurt by Explosion Sudden Thawing of Frozen Pipe Caused Injuries in Leastiter House. The three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Leasiter, of 23-A South Addison street, and her grand mother were severely bruised and scalded early Sunday morning, when a kitchen range exploded, caused by the sudden thawing of the frozen water-back when a fire was kindled. The child was taken to the City Hospital, where treatment was rendered by Dr. Watts, who had gone to the scene of the accident in the ambulance, and Dr. Hulkher. One hand was badly cut, while she was burned and scalded about the head and neck. She was returned to her home yesterday afternoon. The woman was treated at home, Both will recover it was mild. This explosion was one of the three reported yesterday. In each instance fires in the kitchen ranges had been lighted, and a few minutes later the explosion followed, all doing considerable damage. That in the home of Pollockman W. D. (Rex) Griffin, twenty-third and Venable street, practically wrecked the kitchen. Mrs. C. L. Crowder narrowly missed serious injury when her range blew up in the same fashion, shattering windows and tearing the stove to atoms. MONTHOA'S STADT. Improved Conditions—Important Meeting—The Trouble at Mehdan. (Mafeking Mall and Protectorate Guardian, South Africa.) Taking advantage of his presence in Mafeking, the Paramount Chief Lekoko invited Mr. F. Z. S. Peregrino to visit the Stadt, or as the Chief expressed it, to come and see the improvements made as the result of the adyce given them by the visitor from time to time. A very large meeting was held yesterday afternoon, which was presided over by Chief Lekoko, and nearly every Chief and Headman was present as well as nearly all of the available male population. Speeches were made by the Chieks present, among them being Chief Lekoko, Jochua and Silas Molema. LOYALTY OF THE PEOPLE in the Protectorate were denounced as being utterly baseless, each speaker pledging the loyalty, not only of the Barolok, but of their brethren in the Protectorate, whom they know and with whom they are in close touch. Every speaker paled a glowing TRIBUTE TO MR. PEREGRINO and thanked him for his services on their behalf with the Government. during the past nine years of their close association with him, and at a time when the then Prime Minister of the Colony, Sir Gordon Spring, requested their visitor to take care of and to entertain the Chiefs during their visit on business with the Government. We understand that the protests of the people against the charges of disloyalty will take another, and a more tangible form. All Whites and Blacks, Who Want Good Government, Support Col. Rosecratch for the Last President Ronita, Arlisona, Jan. 5. '12. Editor of The PLANET. Dear Sir:—Please allow space in your valuable paper to say that on Christmas day I bought a new pack of cards and put four great men in the balance for national rulers. The cards were well shuffled and ran down 3 times. Two Republicans and two Democrats. Colonel Roosevelt came out on the count each time first for a national ruler and Coff Bryan second. Now then, say man or woman try the same thing and report to the press on their experiments. The election of Col. Roosevelt means that the people of the United States are sick and tired of mobs and madness for life, liberty and property and want a man to rule the nation. D. R.

CHAPTER_XSJIL trod a calculate path. Judicious, masterful, possessed, he had gone through life with some of the temptations that had lain in wait for his younger brother, Phil. These traits were linked to a certain incapacity for bad luck and an unwearying tenaciousness of purpose. Seldom had any one seen his face change color, had seldom seen his notes of racial complication shaken. Tonight, however, the oil lamps which glowed daily in the ceiling of the carriage threw their faint light on a face torn with passion. Barbara's beauty, whose perfect indifference no touch of sentimental passion had devitalized, had from the first around Ware's stubborn sense of conquest. He had been too wise to make mistakes—had put ardor into the background, while surrounding her with tactful and graceful observances which unconsciously unspurred a large place in her thought. In the end he had broken down an instinctive disinclination and converted it into liking. But this was all. For the rest he had perform been content to wait. Thus matters had stood when they parted a few months ago. He recalled the day he be had salied for Suez. Looking back across the widening water, he had conceived then no possibility of ultimate failure. "How beautiful she self" he had said to himself. "She will marry me. She does not love me, but she cares for no other man. She will marry me. In Japan." There had been nobody else then. As he peered out into the glooming dusk all kinds of thoughts raced through his mind. Who was the man? Was this the reurrection of an old "afraid" that he had never grummed? No. When he left her Barbara had been fancy free. It was either a "bummer acquaintance" or one come to quick fruition on a romantic soil. He took out a cigar case and struck a match with shaking fingers. Had it even come to chandelier rendezvous? She had gone one way, the man another. A whirl of rags enticed him. The slender metal snapped short off in the fierce wrench of his fingers. He thrust the broom once into the pocket with a mottured curve that set strangely on his faculties tongue. Gradually out of the wrack emerged His command impulse, caution. He had many things to learn. He must find out how the land lay. He must move slowly, re-establish the old, easy, informal footing. Above all, he must lay himself open to no chance of a defileal refusal. A plan began to make shape. His telegram had told her he would arrive in Tokyo next day. Meanwhile he would find out what Full know. He left the train at Yokohama under the cover of the crowd. In a half hour he was aboard the yacht. Two ships help him out down to order his dinner on the corner of the hotel, curried, immediately presented. A hundred yards from the hotel from great floating whales had been built out into the water. They were garty stained with baiting and cheaply lighting in protective design. A series of groves dotted them, and their grass covered with rugs of ground pine. Were and pressed these downwards into the European avenues of Danzigangshan, of white curved watery pavements had been filled. at SLEEK SWORDS ral habitat seemed to be Paris; the ubiquitous and popular Count Voynich and a statuesque American girl whose name Ware recognized as that of a clever painter of Japanese children. The talk new briskly hither, and thither, skimming the froth of the capital's caeseris-recent additions to the official set, the splendid new ballroom at the German embassy and the increasing importance of Tokyo as a diplomatic center, the coming imperial "cherry viewing garden party" and at last—the arrival of the new beauty at the American embassy. "A real one!" commented Voynich, screwing his eyeglass in more tightly. "And that means something in the tourist season." Ware's fingers flattened on the stem of his glass of yellow chardonnay as the artist mild: "We are in the throes of a new sensation at present. Mr. Ware; a case of love at first sight. WILL JONES "A CARE OF LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT." It's really a lot more than the novels make out. You know. We are all tremendously interested." "But he knows her," said Voynich. "The other evening in Tokyo, Mr. Ware. Miss Fairfax mentioned having met you. She is from Virginia, I think." "Ware bowed. "She is very good to remember me," he said. "And no Miss Fairfax has met her fate in Japan." "Well, rather," said the artist. "I hear betting is even that she'll accept him inside a fortnight." Ware sipped his liqueur with a tinge of relief. Evidently the world of Tokyo had not yet discovered that the new arrival's first name was that of his yacht. "Daint doesn't play according to Hoyle," grumbled Voychin. "She's a guest of his own chief, and he ought to give the others half a chance. He lives in the embassy compound, too, confound him! He monopolized her contrapponently at the review the other day. He's an American 'trust.' I shall challenge him." "The voice of Commander De Kay broke in: "Coppery hair and pansy brown eyes, a skin like a snowdrift caught blushing and a mouth like the smile of a red Sower—a girl that Romney might have loved, alim and young and thoroughbred—there you have the capital sentence of the secretary of the American embassy." Down the middle of the street came running a boy. His hands were full of what looked like small blue handbills. De Kay got up quickly. "There's an evening extra," he said. "It's the Kokumin Shimbun." He bolted down the steps, stopped the runner and returned with one of the blue sheets. "Nothing special," he informed them. "Prices in Wall street are amusing the records. That looks like a clear political horizon, in spite of what the wires have been saying. This visit of the squadron will prove a mental position, we doubt, to reduce international inflammation—its officers being shown the rights of the capital, and the celebrations to come off as per schedule, including the naval mineshot ball tomorrow night. By the way," he added, turning to Ware, "I arranged for an invitation for you: It's probably at the hotel in Tokyo now, awaiting your arrival." A little gleam came to Ware's eyes. The thunder were in his hands, and this suited his plan. "Thank you," he said, "you're very kind, commander. I shall use the subject of your rhyme, then, before the judge puts on his black cap." "Ah, but you'll have no chance," laughed the barronne. "Trust a woman's eye." "Unless his servant takes a tumble," said the American girl collectively. "There always a chance for a tragedy there." They rose to depart. Were drunk his black coffee alone on the terrace. Denise a secretary of company? A rival team experienced them, full of people's experience; a young House worker from the group of administration. It had been a handful of days ago when his dawn pawned a five rye bill as night to adjust his long and demanding plan. And as a result the thing he had seen through the window. His idea that his would have taken better till of this night. Now he left one of the parties. "Who shall not at least? he said. "What to do?" "Will you answer? Say go Tibet. Pray for me. Keep and pray." "What to do the best?" "Say say no beast. Please have got." "What to do the worst?" "Say say no beast. Please have got." "What to do the worst?" "Say say no beast. Please have got." Whose companion had been displaying that night, and the chinless in his past pocket hiss to the point of compartment. With impatience he throw away his cigar and walked out through the cool, brilliant evening. He left the bond and threaded the bouche-dior—the "main street." Midway of its length was a jeweler's shop window with a beautiful display of jewel jade. In it was bung a sign which he read with a wry smile, "English Spoken"; American Understood. "Ware entered and handed the Japanese clerk his broken cigar case. At his elbow a clerk was packing a jade bracelet into a tiny box for delivery. He wrapped and addressed it painstakingly with a little brush: Esquire Philip Weare, Kasumiga-lani Cho, M. Takao In the street Ware smiled grimly as he entered the address in his notebook. He had always believed in his luck. Tomorrow he would sad Phil and gain further enlightenment—indicently on the matter of jade bracelets. His mouth set in contemptuous lines as he walked back to the hotel. CHAPTER XIX. THE WOMAN OF BOREK. AND as to the foreigner named Philip Warre, that is all you know? "That is all, Ishida-Ran." Haru answered. They stood in the cryptomeria shadows of Relmanzaka hill, from which he had stepped to her side as she came from the embassy gate. It was dark, for the moon was not yet risen, and the evening was very still. Such an ambush by her lover, unjustified, would have been a dire affront to the girl's right Japanese code of decorum. That he had seen Phil greet her at Mikolina the evening before had shamed her pride, and in speaking of it tonight he had seemed at first to lay a rude finger on her maiden dignity. But she had seen in an instant that his errand was inspired by neither anger nor jealousy. He had touched at once her instinct of the momentous. Her quick, clever brain and finely attuned perception read what lay beeth his questions. The great European expert whom Japan herself employed and the young foregirl who had pursued her—were they then, objects of question to that, wonderful many sided, governmental machine which was lifting Japan into the front rank of modern nations? Although she had never shared the disfavor with which her father viewed her lover's duties, she had wondered at his present apparently mental position. Tonight she was gaining a quick glimpse beneath the surface. He told her nothing of the dotnilla which, though he could not himself have built a tangible indentation from them, had one by one clung together into a sharp suspicion that embraced the two men. But the agitation she felt in his words had sent a quick thrill through her, had tapped that deep racial well of feeling, the Yamato Daimashi, which is the Japanese birthright. She felt a sudden passionate wish that she, though a woman, might pour herself into the mighty stream of effort, though she be but a whirling cherry petal in the great wind of her nation's destiny. He had come to her for any aired of information that might add to his knowledge of the youth who was now Beronin's satellite. But she had been able to tell him nothing. She bowed to his ceremonious farewell, a alim, mixture figure that stood listening to his rapid footsteps till they died in the darkness. She walked up the dim slope with lagging pace. She was thinking deeply. At the top of the hill, opposite the huge, rivet studded gate of the princess' compound, lay the lane on which the chapel stood. As she turned into the darker shade she was aware of two pedestrians coming toward her, of a voice which she recognized with a shiver of apprehension. The sentry box by the great gate was empty, and she stepped into it. Dr. Bermonin and Phil paused at the turning, while the latter lit a cigar from a match which he struck on the sentry box. Haru's heart was in her throat, but her dark kimono blend with the wood and the flash that showed her both faces blinded his eyes. "Boo!" said the doctor. A mile away from the low lying darkness of Hilbay park a stream of fireworks shot to the south, to explode silently in clusters of colored balls. "The first rocket in honor of the squadron." "Tomorrow the admiral has an imperial audience," said Phil, "and the superior officers are to be decorated." "But" said the other in a low, malignant voice. "And I, who have designed Japan's turrets and chapened her arsenal processus, I may not wear the Cordon and Star of the Rising Sun!" In the darkness a smile of melon crushed his face. "We shall see if she will hold her hand so high then Whether war follow or not, it will drown her in the eyes of the nations. She will not recover her prestige in twenty years." A They passed on down the dark slope, out of sight and hearing of the girl crossed in a corner of the country but, as the foot of the hill Bermuda said: "It will take some long days to finish my work, but the girl will continue to give me the best." 图 hops in some place to do something else. There was a wind on going the thunderstorms. She had heard every word and she had the Japanese summoning her arm to hone in in them in her hands. What they had been holding of our secret war her hands had been squeezing. By an insult the last moment touched it. A feeling of deep pride was in her. Japan was not sleeping; it wafted. And in the path of the plitting anger need her lower. These two men hated Japan. War? They had used the word. Japan did not fear war. Had not, that been proved? Her heart swelled. But the thing they were planning was her country's enduring humiliation. "Whether war follow or not." She felt a sudden deep horror. Could such plots be and their God, her 'God now, not blast them with his thunder? And one of these men had spoken with her, touched her, kissed her! She struck herself repeatedly and hard on the line. She began to tremble in every limb. She a samurai's daughter? She thought of her father, aged and broken, graving that he had had no son in the war. She had been but a useless girl child, left to plant, paper prayers at the crossroads for the brave men who longed to achieve a glorious death. If she did this thing would it not be for Japan? And he at last to his mind completely opened. The woman's knees upon Bamam did sleep and she called a man who of his head the seven locks cut off * * * and the power of that was lost. If she did, would it still? She remembered Phil's eyes on her face the day on the sand at Kanakura—their smoldering, reckless glow. She remembered the bamboo lane. In those daredevil kisses her woman's instinct had divined the force of the attraction she exercised over him, had felt it with contempt and a self humiliation that burned her like an acid. To use that for her purpose? But she was a Christian. From the Christian God's "Thou shalt not" there was no appeal. She could no longer be a Christian. But the old gods of her people shining from their golden altars—the ancient altivities who looked forever down above the sound of prayer—they would smile upon her. For all save one sleep came early that evening to the house in the Street-of-Prayer-to-the-Gods. In her little room Hurry by as stitless as a sleeping flower. At length she rose, notelessly and the paper shoel and with infinite care, inch by inch, pushed back the shutters. The moon hid risen, and a flood of moodlight came into the room. Stealthily she opened a wall closet and selected her host and gayest robe, a holiday kimono of dim green with lotus flowers and an oil of cloth of gold, with diyasanthemums peeping from the weave. Ity the round mirror, on her low dressing cabinet she redressed the colled clong butterfly of her hair and set a red flower in it. She touched her face with the soft rice powder and added a tint of carmine to the set paleness of her cheeks. She wrapped in a furrowskil some sober street clothing, toilet articles and a murure kimono woven with silver camellias, set the bundle by the opened amendo and noiselessly passed into the next room. It was the larger living apartment. The tiny jamp which burned before the golden shrine of Kwannon on the Buddha shelf cast a wan glimmer over the spatulum alcove and throw a ghostly light on her finery. Through the thin paper shikiri she could hear her father's deep breathing, and in the room in which he slept a little clock chimed 11. She opened the door of the shrine and stood looking at the tablet it held, the that of her mother. The kainyo, or soul name, it here signified "Woon Dawn of the Mountain of Light Dwelling in the Mountain of Luminous Perfume." She rubbed her palms softly together before it, and her lips moved silently. From the golden shadows she sheathed suddenly to feel her mother's hand grinding her childish steps to that piece of morning worship, to see that leaving face as she remembered it looking down on her across the rim of years. She bent and plumed her hand along the two awnings, one long, one short, that rested, on their longened rock beneath the skull. It was her farewell to her father. She had left no message. She could tell no one. If she succeeded she would have done her part. If she failed there was only a black darkness in that thought. But she had no agitation now, only a dull ache. ```markdown ``` "For some time there in Ireland a man became there in Ireland a glove-pan wristband through his glove army. Down the moustache he would have a dozen stitches emblazing the matching song of Hireue Chapea, the young war hero: "Through the body die, the spirit does not. He who wishes to be reborn must be made to serve his country. For the sake of serving his country, For the sake of requiting the imperial slave—Has he really died?" Hara opened the gate. Cherry petals were sifting down like roxy snow-lakes over the scarlet trembling of manten, busbee. A little way inside was a graceful house entrance half shaded by a trailing vine. The amade were not closed; the shopjil were brilliantly lighted. CHAPTER XX. ON THE KNEES OF DELILAH THE room where Phil set was softly bright with andon through whose thin paper sides the candlelight filtered tranquilly. It had been furnished in a plain half foreign fashion; a bookrack and a French majolay desk set in a corner, an ornate clock tiled on its top, and beside it was a lounge piled with volumes from the shelves. It would have affected a Japanese almost to nausea. The severity of beauty of its etched and paneled walls, the plain elegance of its satinwood fitting, were chapened with a veneer of vulgarity. A row of picture postcards in colors was plined on the wall—the sort the tourist buys for ten son on the Glam, too highly finuted and with much meretricious gliding—and a photograph hung in a silver gilt, frame of interlocked dragons. It showed a girl in abbreviated skirts and exaggerated posture, and on the mount was printed, "Miss Cissy Clifford in 'Gay Parrot.' The air was full of the slikely sweetian smell of Turkish cigarettes. The desk was a confusion of pipes, virexette, cigarette boxes and what not, and a man's cloth cap and a gauntlet were tossed in a corner beside an open gold laquer box heaped with gloves. Phil, however, felt no qualms. The room fitted him as a scabboard file its sword. He had discarded, his heavier outer clothing and donned a loose, wide sleeved robe of cool silk, tied with a crimson cord. "Give me the whisky and soda," he said to the grizzled servant in the vernacular, "and I should want you again tonight." The bottle the Japanese left at his elbow was becoming Phil's constant comforter. Along with his thoughts, he fed to it as the hasbeen enter to his drug, because it banished his dread and bolstered the courage that he longed for. Tonight as he sat with the intoxication creeping like dull fire in his blood he was thinking of Haru, with her soft, smooth skin, her perfect neck, her lithe, graceful Hume, her eyes that held caught laughter like moos in amber. His thought broke off. He had heard a sound outside. It seemed to be a light tapping on the grill of the outer door. Could it be Berscoin? Had anything gone wrong? He went hastily into the anteroom and opened the grill. For an instant, he stared unbelievably at the figure standing there, the gay kimono, the ronged cheeks, the sparkling eyes. He took a step forward. "Haru! Is it really you, little girl?" he cried. She laughed, a high, clear, futelike note. "Such an astonish!" she said. "You not know my mus' come after." those kiss? Can I not come in, Phillip? With a laugh that echoed her own, but one of ringing triumph, he caught her hand, drew her into the lighted room and closed the shoji. His look famed over her. "I couldn't believe my eyes!" he哭ed. "I don't half believe them yet. Why, your hands are as cold as ice. We'll have a drink, oh?" He went into an outer room, came back with a bottle of champagne and knocked off its neck against the mannel. "Tea, yes!" she said. "My most drink so to be gay, Phil-hip!" she drank the bubbling liquor at a draft. "What are the use of to be good? No?" "You're right, little girl! The pigs people are the dull ones." He came to her unsteadily. "So you'll train with me, oh! Well, we'll show them a trick or two. How would you like to have plenty of money, fhara, as much as you can count on a carriage?" "You so much clever!" she laughed. "No all name Japan man. He vo-ro All Jones "HARD'T TO MY MOMMY TOO!" RIGHT.

The agent of death in correspondence. He replied that no one can not be harmed. Were referred, Duncan's name? He lived in the economy compared to they had sold at disparity last night. Why should he moderate this native home in another quarter of Tokyo? There came to his mind that hastened phrase, "the customs of the country," the foreigner's spectrum justification of the modern "Madame Butterfly." In this intermingle city, with its labyrinthine manners, who could tell what this or that gray roof might shelter? Was this a neck enclosed for pretty Japanese romance "under the rune?" He had leased it to Phil—they were friends. Ware struck his stick hard against the hedge. He scarcely knew what thought had entered his mind, so nigh-lose was it, so indisable. If he had thought to use this discovery he knew no way; if it was Duncan's cover, here was Phil in possession. "Ask him if he has any idea where he is." The guide translated. The servant was ignobly unacquainted with yet with the danna-san's illusorious habits. He arrogantly presumed to suggest that he might augustly be in any one of a hundred esteemed spots. Ware thought a moment frewningly. "Tell him I am Ware-san's brother," he said then. "and that I have just arrived in Tokyo. I shall wait in the home till he comes." The old man beamed profoundly at the statement of the relationship. He spoke at some length to the guide. The latter looked at Ware questioningly, but hesitated. "Well?" asked the other tartly. "He think better phrase you wait to the hotel." Were struck open the gate with a share of irritation. "You can go now," he said to the guide and, disdainting the servant, strode along the gravel path and entered the house. Under the trailing vine Ware did back the shoof and entered the house. As he stood looking at the interior his lip curled. He hated the chean- ness and valuability to which Phil turned with instinctive liking. and he had long ago come thoroughly to despise him 'younger brother and to retain the whip-hand, which the law, with its guardianship, gave him. The place filled Phil from the cigarette odor to the lead photograph in the degree. WILL JONES frame and the partly open wall closest with its significant array of bottles. It expressed his idea of "a good time." He did open a skirtlit. It showed a room, evidently unused, littered with books, a dusty table with models of carvans wing-like propellers, a small electric dynamo and a steel hose. He spanned another and stood looking at the room it disclosed with a faint smile. It waserapologically clean and orderly and, in contrast to the outer apartment, had an atmosphere of delicate, refinement. At one side was suspended a mosquito-bar of dark green gauze, and across a low steel was laid a kimono, with silver camellias on a mauve ground. He picked this up and looked at it curiously, half conscious of a faint perfume that lingered to it. He shit his teeth. The camellia had always been Barbara's favorite flower. Meanwhile the girl thus incongruously in his thought had felt a gray shadow across her bedside. She found her niece greatly perplexed and troubled. Haruki Nishio, found on the chapel doorway, had been brought to him that morning. He had read at once to the Shrine of Puyao to the Light, and the monastery had perished with pain of her disappearance. The first time she had seen them, with her curiosity that the light was a diabolical anomaly. It paled him to think what the return of the book and the little brown might mean. In his long residence in Japan the bishop had grown accustomed to strange demonicness, to flushing revelations of super deeds in ornate character. But give her the joy of existence of many years ago, when the sight of Northernmost ancient ruins in him, he might have been more amazed than by today's demeanor. What he told her had left Nishio with an unsettling impression. She now away pondering. The nature apocalyptic bound a chapter of the saga.

He had left the outer shell open, and through the aperture he saw the skin form beginning toward the doorway. An examination broke from his lap. Behind him, just entering the gate, was Barbara. For a breath he stared. A cool, thriving suspicion, one breed of his anger and humiliation that claimed his manhood, ran through him. Barbara there! Was it another rainwash, then? The force, self-discovering doubt merged into the mind jealousy that already burned him like a brand. He dropped the kimono, drew back the shikiri of the unused apartment and stepped inside. Swiftly and not necessarily the light partition slipped into place behind him. Through the thin paper pane parted by his moistened finger Warner hot, hollow eyes, saw the Japanese girl come into the room. She had not waited to shut the shoji behead her. She drew quick sobbing breath, and her eyes had the desperate look of a hunted animal. She ran into the sleeping apartment and closed its skirt. Barbars had halted at the doorway. As she stood looking in her eyes full on the mauve himimo with its silver camellia. It was the robe Haru had worn the first evening she came to her. If she had doubted all doubt was now gone. But an instant she hesitated, then, with sudden resolution, knocked on the grim and stepped across the threshold. The man who watched could not solve the puzzle, but in that instant the sick suspicion he had harbored became a cold and lifeless thing in his breast. A great sense of shame rubed through him as he saw her gene wander about the interior with his veneration of the foreign, to the disordered desk, the lounge and its litter of books, the photograph on the wall, the open panel with its champagne bottles. In her glance distance had grown to a quick question. The coarse suggestions of the place were welling over her. Whose house was this? Had Haru some lady and was she hiding from her! Suddenly she saw the mare and cap and quintet in the corner. Her chin rushed into flame. She seemed to age Haru's innocent face ending at her. Over the throbbing manure and through its, tits, to hear again the echo of a ribald laugh before the gilded cages of the Yukyuwan. Something in her crief out against the influence. All at once Barbara took an abrupt step forward. She was looking at the round glass jars just outside the doorway, painted with three characters: ドント She chilled as if other had been poured in her voice. The name they stood for had been her first known in Japanese which Haru had taught her. She snatched up one of the volumes from the chair. It was Lilianthus "Conquest of the Air." She opened it to the title page. Ware, watching, saw with surprise that she was trembling violently. She had grown pale to the light. The book slipped from her fingers and crumbled on to the entrance. It lay there, open as she had held it, and he now what was written across the white leaf. It was Dauntle name. His thought impaled as if at the slick of a hush. Damer's book! What was she thinking? The pleasure palace that swept her face like an ice wave answered him. Why she won there-but interest in this Japanese girl who slammed her-he could not guess. But it was clear that she had not known the house you Damer's and that with the knowledge she was free to face with what must seem a daunting singularity. Perhaps some bit of this refugium had come to her-he knew how greggly feathered, its shafts—some corvet aliens, some laughing rabbits, to which her coming had now given such verity. Phi was the dawn or machete of the situation. The Japanese woman she was now laying at Sankyo door. All this faded through his mind in an instant. He watched her intently. Dover Barbara was sweeping a little oasis of working volcano, bill of indifferent barbarism with equity—the little house near Ackermann grounds—the carriage had passed the great empty plains a few minutes ago that he had kept from "museum," the house she had added him to show her, when he had ended the request.

Was he to tell her the truth—and lose her? The key to the situation was in his hand. He had only to keep silence. At that moment he felt crumble down in some crude golf within the fabric of his self outside the high built structure of years. Something cold, sorriest and malignant came to sit on his rives foundations. A savage station grew in him. Boddenly a whitkiri was flung aside. Maru stood there, her face deathly pale, her hands wrenching and tearing at her sleevs. She laughed, a high, gasping, unnatural tremble. "Soooo. Ojo-San! You come make visiting, neT! The shrill voice rang through the silent room. "My new home now an' most be' master. No more Christian! My bed—oh, ve-ree bad Japan girl! With another pool of laughter she pointed to the hust of her obl. It was tied in front. Barbara ran down the garden path as if pursued. She stepped into the carriage blindly. This, then, was the end. It came to her like the stirring of a great ball. Tomorrow the streets would lie as vivid in the sunlight, the bugles would march as birthely, the beat place, would, wave, the lotus pads in the most glamour, the gurgly poison flush her. She would know that the sun had died in the blue heaven. Back and closed her eyes.

Were opened the alcohol softly and with netcels step passed out of the house. CHAPTER XXI All that day he had worked with a gallicous validation visiting in his prison. He had not seen Daquira, but her face had seemed always before him—gravidly pregnant as he had been it in Duvalera's alive, haunted with during postpartum so it had turned to him on the steps of the railway carriage. Tonight he woke to see her. In flame he could feel her arm band on his sleeve so they danced—could see him sitting with her in glittery shiny dress sweet with glitter bliss—could hear her cry— Painted and painted many such edifice the building of edifice and garden, the municipal building building, the town but a small Temple, pavement, was wound in a glory. All these decorative pieces, this perennial rose of height and mass, could only to form a little troglodyte setting for the one woman. He went to parish for her with his midwife held sweet, his choreo-dae square and a color in his hair. He passed through several rooms, reeling any ornamental picture after another. In the last room the best stood with the visiting admiral and several submenus. He was a perfect type of the medieval Japanese of edifice, a depiction as well as a sentimental object. He had been at Amagawa in 1618, and the wife was a graduate of Miyamoto. He was one of the strong men of the university which was "Who he will look at these equally mean? I can't see what anybody should think. Things for. I always feel like saying what Mark Twain's man told them they showed him the message: 'If you've got, any nice fresh cotton and him out.'" Dorothy's sister was a merchant. She knew that he had caused them. As she treated at his side face with her sister, kind cynic a shadder came to her own. Her loyal heart was troubled. After her drive that afternoon Barbara had left her room on the plan of visit. For the evening. She had not come down to dinner and had appeared only at the moment of starting. At the first glance, then, Patricia had noticed the change. The Barbara she had always known, of banking impulse and grilting grace, was gone. The Barbara of the evening and seemed suddenly older, of even later beauty perhaps, but with something of demeanor, of eminently, missing beside her to the path, Patricia had left under the corner, brilliant geyery this chilly corner of estrangement, and it had penned her. Later she had come to connect it with the man of whose coming Barbara had told her, the man with handsome boarded since who had promised since his greeting in the moment of their entrance to take unobtrusive yet assured possession of much of her memories as were not given to the great. Witful he had lost this air of the natural and habitual which, already polished and completely conventional as it was, seemed to convey a subtle atmosphere of preoccupation. So now as she saw Dustin's gaze Patricia was a little sad. There had fallen a silence between them, which be broke with a sudden dissolution. "Success! I should think so. Bob's Ganced with three ambassadors, and Prince Flojo mat eat two numbers with her. Just look at the man around her now." The music had drifted into a walk, and the group about Barbara was discovering. A dark face was beading near. Its owner put his arm about her, and they glided into the throng. Were, like all heavy men, danced perfectly, and the pair seemed to skim the mirroring floor as easily as swollen, red brunette hair, caught under a web of seed pearls, glowing like a net of fireflies. Heads turned back over white shoulders, and on the edges of the room people whispered to them paused. Floating lightly as sea foam, the shimmering gown drew near, passing no close that Daupert could have touched it. The lovely white face, over her partner's shoulder, met Daupert's. For a fraction of a second Barbara's eyes looked into him, then swept by as if he had been empty air. It was as if a clinched hand had struck him across the face. He whispered. Patrick tak a sudden ring in her eyelids. She slipped her hand through his arm and, maying something about the heat—it was dangerously cool—drew him down the corridor. She chatted on airily, lighting a desire to cry. But when they came to the entrance of the cherry blossoms he had not spoken a word. "I see mother still in the spook room," she said. "I must go back to her—no, please don't come with me! Thank you so much for bringing me so far." She left him with a nod and a bright smile that he did not see. He cut down on a branch in its farthest corner. What did it mean? Why, it had been the cut direct! From her! impatient! She had not seen him. He had been mistaken. He could go to her now. He sprang up. A page came into the garden. He was a part of the minister's establishment. Dunst had often seen him in that house. He carted a tray with a hammer on it. "For you, sir," he said. Punished, Dunst took it, and the boy quietly. It were no address. He did it open. It contained some folded KK A teen. White hair sprang to his face as he embarked the them.

NIKEO'S thin street, with its gigantic tale of cryptomeria, was a slimmer of gold, a flicker of crimson and malabar blen. All the town was out of doors, for it was the mistart, the local festival of laguna, the great shamroch fatty, when the ancient furniture and treasures of the temple are carried in precisely precarious through the streets. Austen Ware saw the strain on Barbara's face. "You are tired," he said. "Let us go back to the hotel." "Where is Fatty?" she saked. "The went with the bishop to see the pristine dance at the temple, but we can ship that." He drew her out of the crowd, and they walked slowly down a side street to the road that skirts the brawling Alpine torrent, rushing between its steep stone banks. As they waited Ware chatted of his trip up the China coast—on interesting ritual that took Barbara Birnathy out of herself. More than once he looked at her curiously. Since that fateful hour when he had stood behind the stiltwalk in the Barnard, had gone through much to look at unforced. He had known moments of bitterness that were galling and stinging and that left behind them a sense of degradation. But he held to his course. So short lived a thing as her love for Danaet must either. "It will penn." he The trip to Nikto had encouraged him. It had been the time of the bishop's regular spring visit, and Barbara had welcomed the opportunity to have Tokyo, which was so full of painful exposures, Patrick, adored Japan's "Temple Town," and Were had joined the party there with as little delay as was seemly. In the three days of the peignant mountain air Barbara had seemed to Patrick to be more like her old self, she could not grasp the strength of the effort this had cost or the fortunes of the fight Barbara's pride was making. It was sunset when they mounted the steep road to the hotel, a long, two-stretched modern structure whose gardens and red balconies gave it a majestic Japanese flavor. On one side of the building the ground fall in a precipitous descent to the rugged bed of the river, whose rock made a rooftop structure like wind lighting through windows tree. Behind it the height rose abruptly, and up its side shimmered a twisting path from which a light footbridge spring to the upper plumm. The path led to a shrine a hundred yards above art debs an old wisteria tree, musical with the chirp of the "silver eye" and suttering with countless paper arrows of prayer.

His plan has been to represent that he has money in a col- ored bank in this city. He gets his victim to write to John D.

He alleges that he is in captain of a guiding vessel, which according to his letters has been lost near Thimble Light of Bucknock Beach and, as he has been carrying on this kind of swirling for about two years, that best is presumably wrecked every two or three weeks. He adds that the letter he sent to him in care of the person who advanced the money. He never comes back to see if the money comes to be disarmed.

SATURDAY...JANUARY 20, 1912. THE HAND OF ROOSEVELT. Strange happenings are now taking place. The friends of President William H. Taft are making strenuous efforts to find out just what ex-President Theodore Roosevelt will do and they are sending out reports as to his intentions and purposes which have caused him no end of unrest and indignation. He is sorely tried and it is evident that he is doing his best to retain his equilibrium and maintain the silence and mystery with which he has surrounded himself. There is no doubt but what his tactics have puzzled the Taft managers and handicapped them no little in the advancement of the campaign for the re-nomination and re-election of their chief. We have never had any doubt as to the attitude of the distinguished statesman of Oyster Bayn New York. He is not a candidate, and while this is true, his feelings may be worked upon by both his friends and his enemies to such an extent that he may be induced to do just what he did not intend to do—run for that office or rather permit his friends to run him for office in order that some of his old enemies, with whom his old friend, Taft is/now consorting, may feel the effect of his influence and be punished by the exercise of his power. If the nomination comes to him as a call from the Republican Party as a call to duty—an effort to save it from blighting defeat—then he may permit himself to be unwillingly led to the front as the leader of the great political organization in the coming battle. President Taft, has made many windows and the indications are that he is the easiest man for the Democrat to defeat, provided they nominate a conservative for the presidency. But President Taft is such a "trummer" that he may be able to bring into line the very interests, which are now clamoring most loudly for him downfall. It must be admitted that there is a dearth of presidential timber in the Republican wood-yard. From Taft, one involuntarily looks to Recroft. The business interests of the country here had as much as it wants from the one and more than it wants from the other. No candidate with a show of an election comes up to the distance to heighten the. --- White House. President Tusk has demonstrated conscientiously that he is just as good a Democrat as a Republican and it remains to be seen as to whether or not a dark horse will appear. Should he be found it is a foreign obstacle that elevated relationship will not be his chief characteristic for the deterioration of the leaders of both parties in this respect is one of the calamities of the age. Theodore Roosevelt is the source of all the political disturbance as viewed from the Taft band-wagon. Yet, he is a factor which must be considered in the coming election. As a negative quantity he can be a more effective force in bringing about defeat of the present occupant of the White House than he would be to bring about his election. He has the politicians and many of the business men guessing and worried. What shall the end be? GOY. WIISON'S BLUNDERS. When Colonel Henry Watterson declared that he had hoped to find in Governor Woodrow Wilson another Tilden, but instead had found rather a schoolmaster than a statesman, he told "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." The eminent scholar, who has spent the years of a lifetime practically within the confines of a college like Princeton University, is not only theoretical, peculiar or unsuited for the duties which come to a citizen in public life. His blunders are multiplying and it is evident that he is not a proper person to lead a political party, which for withhold half a century on account of its assinine stupidity at critical political moments has won for its emblem the figure of a what we may be pardoned in calling a donkey, but which in the plain language of the street has a more humorous and satisfactory name, and which is generally used during every campaign upon the political hustings. Gov. Wilson's unfortunate letter relative to Hon. William J. Bryan, where he boldly stated that the distinguished Nebraskan should be knocked out for all time is one of the many evidences of his indiscretions. Now; he is as unfortunate in his fulsome praise of Mr. Bryan as he was in his positive condemnation. His speech at the Jackson day dinner will estrange all of the conservatives who were supporting him and hard) smooth makers over with the rank and file of Bryan followers who will necessarily lose confidence in a statesman, who is so erratic and uncertain in the attitudes which he assumes from time to time. It may be that the Democratic Party will nominate him for the presidency. Should this happen, the out look for his election will not be the best. His change of attitude towards Col. George Harvey of Harper's Weekly, when it is admitted that he made his candidacy possible will have a willing effect upon his campaign throughout the country. The impression will necessarily prevail that his action in unloading Harper's Weekly was the result of a demand made by Hon. William. J. Bryan or his followers that he should separate himself from the alleged organ of the so-called plutocrats and come out boldly under the Bryan banner. Whether this support will insure his nomination at Baltimore is an open question which will soon be answered, but whether it will land him in the White House as a result of the vote of the people at the polls can only be answered in November. We doubt if he can defeat President William H. Taft and he is the weakest candidate that the Republican Party can nominate. The outlook is not at all bright for Republican success, but the low-ring clouds for that party are lifting, if we can judge by the rapid trend of events now transpiring in plain view of the American people. Just a Fish Story. Heurik Diah of Andwund was a reader and follower of Darwin. Wishing to apply his theory of the limit of adaptability of a species to its environment, Heurik procured a herring from a neighbouring flord and carried it home in a basket of sea water. He renewed the water daily for some time and gradually reduced the quantity, with so little inconvenience to the herring that he concluded that the fish might in time learn to breathe air undiluted with water, like the cat, and man. It turned out as he expected, and the water was finally emptied out of the tub, never to be replaced. Heurik next removed the fish from its tub and placed it on the ground, where it stopped about very awkwardly at first, but soon learned to more freely and rapidly. In a little while the herring was able to follow its master without difficulty, and then it became he constant companion about the strength of the city. On a certain unfortunate day Heart had occasion to cross a displaced bridge which spanned an area of the harbor. The harbor, roaring gracefully along, headwinds of danger, now and again opening at dawn, for which it had acquired a great fondness, mourned its flooding, alloyed through a crack into the water and was drowned.—Brownstone "Dear Plaintiff, Dead, in Put in Ananias Club. Call: Honorate Michele Benth. He to His Associates That Former Senator's Board Members are Paken. New York, January 14.—Thomas Collier Platt (dead) is in the latest addition to the Ananias Club. The fact that death sets as a bar to membership in all other clubs has proven itself. Colonial Theodore Rocovett from place the name of New York's erstwhile "Mary Benth" on the black-bordered scroll beside the names of Edward R. Harriman and very many others. After reading the "Autobiography of Senator Platt," in which many pages are devoted to Platt's dealings with him, Colonel Roosevelt wrote to Louis Jay Lang, compiler and editor of the Platt reminiscences, denying: First—That a "plush on the lee" was indirectly responsible for his nomination for Vice-President in the Republican National Convention of 1800, and that Platt forced him to take the nomination. Second—That in company with Col John Jacob Astor he went, "that in him and obtained from Platt an indemnity from President McKinley that resulted in his appointment as Assistant Secretary of the Navy in 1897. Third—That he called on Senator Platt in company with Benjamin B. Oddell during the State campaign of 1898, complaining that Democrats were buying up the State; that something should be done to relieve the situation, and that Platt, practically a collection collection, collected from J. Piermont School F. Ryan and four others a corruption tund of $60,000 that enabled Roosevelt to defeat Van Wyck by 17,000 plurality. PLATT'S "MIND WAS FAILING." Referring to Platt's version of the alleged visit he and Colonel Astor paid to Platt, to solicit the latter's indemnation of Roosevelt for Assistant Secretary of the Navy under McKinley, Roosevelt wrote: "It is rather singular that Senator Platt should have imagined such an interview, and it shows how much his mind was falling when the reminiscences were written. Let me repeat that the account as given by Senator Platt of this in his absolutely and wholly without foundation, and that neither while I was alive nor with any one else, did I ever have such a conversation with him or make such a call upon him as therein related." When Platt, in April, 1909, told in a series of magazine articles his version of how he, as "easy boss," made Roosevelt Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Governor of New York and vice-President, following a political battle more than fifteen years, Col. Roosevelt directed him. He was in Africa when Platt died. See ten months elapsed before he read the Platt reminiscences. Col. Roosevelt confined his ex- expressions of resentment to confidential letters to and personal interviews with Platt's collaborator, Mr. Lang who for years has been an Albany newspaper correspondent. On condi letters he be printed in an addenda to the letters section of the Platt book. Col. Roosevelt lengthened connoted that portions of the correspondence be given to the newspapers. It is from these letters that the facts here stated are obtained. IT'S SO SAYS PLATT'S SECRETY An interesting sidelight on the late ant controversy in which the Colonel has engaged is furnished by Albert H. Howe, one time private secretary to Senator Platt. Mr. Howe invites membership in the Ananas club, by Mr. Lang that Platt's story of how Colonel Welch, with Col. Astor, called on Platt, has backing for Assistant Secretary of the Navy "accord with the facts." Mr. Howe in part wrote: "Colonel Astor did accompany Colonel Roosevelt to Senator Platt's parliars for the purpose of soliciting the letters indorading 'Colonel Roosevelt for that position.' The circumstances are most clearly impressed upon my mind because of two unusual elements. Mr. Howe goes on to state he remembered the incident because it marked the first intimation Platt received that McKinley would respond to an indignement from him, and also because it was the only time he ever saw Colonel Astor. Mr. Howe adds: "No, there is no mistake about this fact. I am sorry to be obliged to contradict Colonel Roosevelt. Colonel Astor was the third, even if Colonel Astor decided it. If there is more likelihood that he would forget than I. Remembering things is part of my business. Perhaps the obligation to remember has never weighted heavily upon Col. Astor." NOT INTENTIONAL UNTRUTH, MAYBE. When the letter from Mr. Howe was called to the attention of Colonel Roosevelt he wrote to Mr. Lang a letter, which in part, read: "I have a letter from Colonel Astor stating that he never saw Senator Platt about my being Assistant Secretary of the Navy. None of the incidents is related accurately or truth Senator Platt; but I think his mind is confused and do not accuse him of intentional or truth. Below is printed Platt's answer and that of Colonel Roosevelt of the incidents leading up to his nomination for Vice-President. The former is reprinted from Platt's autobiography and the letter from one of Colonel Roosevelt's letters. Phill's version: "I shall go into the New York council and tell the delegation that I arrive in the convention and dothine. I can perceive you. Senator, for better as Governor, than as Vice-President, and Roscoe幼稚ly. "But you cannot be reminiscent for Governor and you are going to be mounted for Vice-President,' was my report. "Well, Sammy," she gently purrred Gracewell, reluctantly. "I will please me well and to. Normally double the New York City indulgence, but I shall certainly urge the cause to name another to attack." "And, remember, I shall place you if I see my signs of your getting up and decelerating, put in my son. "All right. You may pinch me as hard as you like, answer Reocovelt, as he and Frank (Platt) hurried to the canoe of the New York delegation, then in progress on the male doors of the Hotel Walken." At this juncture Platt's reminiscences describe in detail what followed at the cause, concluding: "Just so Dr. Albert Shreder, Frederick W. Heik, Nicholas Murray Battle and others of *Roosevelt* self-constituted friends" clustered about him and whispered, audibly: "Say you'll decline, if nominated, Governor," my son pinched Roosevelt in the leg and said, "Remember your con-ference," Senator, Governor. Roosevelt kept. He ignored the solicitations of Shaw and and sat down. In other words, a pinch may be said to have made Roosevelt President, for had he executed the threat of declining and it had been accepted, he would never have reached the White House." COLONEL ROOSEVELT'S VERSION "The statements as to the nomination for he vice-presidency are erroneous. For instance, after the Senator told me that I would not be nominated as Governor, I said: 'Very well, we will fight.' I told him I should absolutely refuse to accept the nomination as Vice-President, and that if the New York delegation tried to force it upon me I should get up and say that Senator Platt had an answer; should be refused a nomination for Governor and would have to be nominated for Vice-President, and that I should not see and there announce that I would not be the nomination for the vice-presidency and would be a candidate for the nomination of Governor. "The Senator evidently did not believe that I would do this, but when I got downstairs I announced my intention to a dozen of the delegates, stating what Senator Platt had said. Immediately there was a great commotion, a message was sent up to Senator Platt, and two minutes later he commanded to his room, where his explanation must have misunderstood him; that he requested of saying that I should renouncelled as Governor; that a further effort would be made by the New York delegation to put me in nomination for the vice-presidency, and that no opposition would be made to my nomination as Governor. Accordingly the effort ceased, and the New York delegation put Woodruff in nomination. Later it developed that the convention, as a whole was bound to have me and Senator Hanna, who had violently opposed my nomination made up his mind that the feeling was so strong that he could not afford to antagonize it. After considerable nomination I then concluded to accept. In the words while I did not intend to punish myself to be forced into the vice-presidency, in order to get me out of the governorship, I did not feel at liberty to refuse the nomination when it became evident that the earnest desire of the Republicans as a whole was to have me take the position for the benefit of the party. THAT $60,000 CORRUPTION FUND The third contradiction is drawn from Colonel Roosevelt by Senator Platt's story of how he saved Roosevelt from defeat for Governor in 1898 by collecting a corruption fund. This chapter in the Platt book in part runs: "His (Roosevelt's) Democratic opponent was Augustus Van Wyck, Senator Patrick H. McCarren, a past master in political cunning, managed Van Wyck's canvass. He, Rich and Croker, William F. Sheehan and others had made a raid on Wall Street. Colonel Roosevelt learned of while on an up-State stumping tour. Alarmed, he hastened to New York in upon Chairman Benjamin B. Odell, Jr. of the Republican State Committee. "Croker and McCarron are trying to buy the State," shouted Roosevelt in tones of mingled indignation and fright. "We shall have to raise some more money ourselves or we are licked." "Do you know where to get it?" asked Odell. "No, I don't," answered Roosevelt helplessly. "Well, let's ko and see the 'old man.' Perhaps he does," surgested Odell. THEY HASTEN TO THE "OLD MAN." "The would-be Governor, and the State chairman hastened to Senator Platt's Fifth Avenue Hotel apartment. They apprised the Senator of the desperate situation." Here follows Platt's description of how he learned from Odell that $60,000 was needed; how Platt wrote down the names of six men for $10,000 each. Morgan heading the list. The autobiography at this point continues: "Who is running this campaign," demanded Platt, indiscretly. "Why, point, and Odell are," was the (Roosevelt's) answer. "Then I'll go downtown and get the $60,000," said Senator Platt, as he called a cab and hurried to the money centre. He brought back the $60,000. Roosevelt defended Van Wyck by 17,000. "But for the fund accumulated by Platt in the spring hours of the campaign, Croker and McCarran asserted that Van Wyck would have defended Roberett badly. That would, of course, have made Reservoir an imminent battle. Van-President and President, in the view of the old guardmen" on this day minutes: "Platt never reservoir!" Reservoir may be them written reminiscences of Platt in that the whole military stood convoying is without resistance. I guess all of our Sunday talks with Governor Oddell in any the evening or had any movement with them." JOHN GRIER HIBBEN. Elected President of Princeton to Succeed Woodrow Wilson. Dr. Hibben to Head Princeton. Professor John Grier Hibben, head of the university department of logic and philosophy, was elected president of Princeton university at the regular January meeting of the board of trustees, held in the university library building at Princeton, N. J. The election was by an overwhelming plurality and was later made unanimous. A motion to postpone any selection of a head for the university for three months was swamped, only three or four men voting in its favor. Then a vote was called on a resolution nominating Professor Hibben, and he was found to be elected before the roll of the trustees had been two-thirds called. The choice of Dr. Hibben, who is Stuart professor of logic, is a victory for the younger element of the university and will be extremely pleasing to the alumni the country over. Almost as soon as the undergraduate themselves begin to give evidence of their rejoicing, telegrams of congratulation began to pour in from every direction from old Princeton men. Dr. Hibbon succeeds Woodrow Wilson, who resigned the presidency in the fall of 1909 to make his successful race as Democratic candidate for governor of New Jersey.

HOLIDAY PORTFOLIO CITY AND W. 400TH ST. NEW YORK CITY The call of the fur seal has had more to do with the winter majors than is apparent at farm glance, and in Parks this find, combined with the reign of the long separate coat, has intertwined seriously with the popularity of the two piece coat: Over here the movement is less felt, but the further she is showing the valour, bravery, strength, and here and there one sees women wearing them, while on to the long coat, that is undeniably more in evidence than it has been within the memory of the present generation. The successful wearing of a scarf, whether it be in children or in furs, calls for artistic understanding on the part of the wearer. The average woman, if she throws a scarf of children or loses about her shoulder, wears it on her waistwoman, might wear a wristband shawl. She drugs it closely about her, lets the two ends fall in front and apparently appreciates not at all the possibilities of graceful line and deft handling in the slimy bit of color. But the cubic Parisienne, when a scarf was the correct accompaniment of almost every evening toilet or home gown, studied the manipulation of this accessory as consciously as she studies all problems pertaining to drums and developed innumerable deft ways of making it becoming, forced it into emphasizing her best lines and into telling her worst, into accentuating the play of pretty hands and arms, into softening sharp outlines. All this takes study, speaks of vanity and palestaining sacrifice to vanity, if one cares to condemn such sacrifice upon high moral grounds well and good, but surely if one is to sacrifice to the vanities there is some virtue in doing the thing intelligently. The average Parisienne is no more frivolous in nature, no more vain, no more "coquete," than the average American woman, but she, is more clever and consistent in her expression of these qualities.

GOLDEN name and Academic Grades. Women for a Professional Course In the first place, the fit woman has weig we right to the medium fur coat. Ab- that poor fit woman! The genius of modes are creatively indulgent to her queues and yearnings. To be sure, if she does not have her scarf too small she may wear it long and straight, but she must not attempt any of the swatching effects, which are the height of midculture. A straight coat pulls down each side of the head to a point well below the lines will add to the appurved skim and slimness, but this is not the smart for small ideas, though it is the fashion in which each scarf are closely worn on the side of the water. A scarf worn in this way will not do cost duty either as will the French version of the fur piece. In the second place, it is the sound itself. At its smartest it is very wide, wide enough to reach from almost quite to the elbow or below if allowed to fall smoothly. It is also unusually long, long enough to wind around the body and still fall in long ends almost to the ground. It must be surprisingly light and simple, but the furriers here made that possible by their marvellous handling of nails. --- The Kun Shu imperial army, often fighting, has succeeded in pushing its way to within sixty miles of Shu Pu, China. The entire province of Shen Pi is in a turnwall. Many towns have been hosted and deserted. The reported measure of 18,900 men by robots in the Shen Pi district has been confirmed. Discussion regarding the abolition of the emperor continues. The court is unable to reconcile the conflicting advice of the different factions. Some Mingchi leaders urge that the emperor abdicate and implement a policy while the Difffion contends that the emperor should allow the court depart from the capital. The armistice between the imperial and royal forces is looked upon by military observers as pure action. Dr. Wu Ting Fang disclaims all military responsibility, while the imperialist suppression of disorder is regarded as warfare under another name. Captain Sowerby's relief party has brought to the city of Ho Nea nisatne English Baptist missionaries and thirteen Swedish missionaries from Sina Fu. It is believed that certain legations have been approached by Premier Yuan Xin Kai and these have telegramged to their governments to accertain whether any measures of foreign mediation which would result in foreign guarantees could be secured in connection with the proposed abdication. The princes of Eastern Mongolia are embarking at Cheng Chia Tsu to consider their attitude regarding the declaration of Independence in Northern Mongolia. A Mongolian force from the district of Khailar, in Manchuria, has sent the town of Khailar and appointed civil officials. The troops have issued a declaration of Independence. The Manchu authorities and imperial soldiers have taken refuge in the Russian settlement at Khailar station. Three cruisers and three transports, conveying three battalions of revolutionary infantry, eight machine guns and three mountain guns, sailed from Shanghai for the Che Fu. Ten other republican war vessels, comprising cruisers and torpedo boats, are lying off here taking in stores and ammunition in preparation for their departure for Che Fu. The ships of the inauguration of the republic was general. Both the Chinese and foreign banks were closed and the foreign stores observed a half-holiday. A remarkable feature of the receptions has been the immense extent of the queue setting. STARVING OYSTERMEN WALKING TO SHORE The Boston, Md., jail is filled with oyster dredgers, many of them residents of Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington, who have waited from their vansals, which are frozen up in the ice at Tigham's Island, Oxford, Cambridge, McDaniel, Clatworthy and other places on the Choptank, Tred Ave and Milne rivers and the Chomgale box. Between twenty-five and thirty have arrived in Boston since Sunday night, and it is said a large number of others are walking on the public roads that lead from Tigham and Oxford to Boston. They will be given lodging and food at the jail by Sheriff Haddaway. The dredgers that are now in jail may that the present oyster dredgers has been a good one, and report that up to a week ago there had been little suffering among them, but that since them their bones have been frozen up, and they could not work, and the owners of the boats refused to furnish them with fuel and fuel. They were compelled to walk ashore on the ice, which, was from ten to twelve inches thick, and procured wood to keep from freezing. They report that for the last few days their provisions have been running out and they were compelled to abandon their boats and tramp twice to plenty miles to Easton to get shelter and food. From to Death Near Home. Walter R. King, a traveling sailor, man, beheaded by the sold, lost his ship, sunk into a chowder in a river to make his home in Cleveland, and then to death. ```markdown ``` KAISER'S DADAPTER TO WED Princess Lyndon Reported Detrusted to Grand Duke Adolph Frederick. The bureaucrat of Princess Victoria London, duly Sister of Emperor WIL- BURN of Germany, to Grand Duke Adolph Frederick of Mackenberg- Burdin, is expected to be announced in Berlin on the emperor's birthday, Jun. 27, according to a report pub- lished in the newspapers. The marshal of the imperial court doubted a similar report published last June. BOMB IS HURLED AT CHINESE PREMIER Two Killed and 13any Injured in Pekin. A bomb was, thrown at Premier Yuan Mai Kai's carriage in Pekin, China. Seventeen persons, civilians and sol- diers, were wounded by pieces of the bomb and flying splinters. Eight or ten of these are expected to die. The horses attached to the carriage of the premier and several of the mili- tary escort were killed. The assassin's aim was bad and the infernal machine missed its mark, landing among his bodyguard. The bomb exploded with terrific force. A big hole was dug in the earth. The assassin selected a moment when the premier was on his way from the imperial court, where he had, a long audience with the princes of the imperial clan. Yund Shi Kai's carriage, with open windows, was preceded and followed by an escort of cavalry. The route was lined by soldiers and police stationed five yards apart, the men facing alternately inwards and outwards and carrying loaded rifles with fixed barrettes. When the carriage arrived opposite the residence of Dr. Morrison, correspondent of the London Times, at the corner of which the assailants had been observed standing, the bomb was hurled. Without waiting to see the effect of their deed the perpetrators rushed toward a neighboring tea house. Soldiers and police, however, were close on their beams and they were arrested before they were able to effect their escape by a rear door. The public executioner was called immediately and with his assistants is standing sentinel in front of the house. He will remain on duty there until he receives orders from the imperial authorities, who, it is expected, will command that the men be beheaded immediately. BUTTER MAY GOTO 60 CENTS Chicago Dealers Expect "Trust" to Continue Price Increase. Sixty cents a pound for butter was said to be the price to which retail dealers in Chicago look forward. Quotations have reached .47 cents, the highest in the city's market history. The advance is ascribed to an alleged trust, which has been under investigation by federal authorities. Western houses that have been manipulating prices by means of large holdings of cold storage butter also are blamed. Mystery in Nurse's Death. Mary L. Barry, a graduate nurse, whose home is believed to be in Wilmington, Del., died in New York at a registry for professional nurses of an illness believed to be acute poisoning. The customer has ordered an autopsy and detectives are investigating the Guy L. Stewart, agricultural and industrial agent of the Cotton Belt rail- road, with headquarters in St. Louis, was burned to death in his private car. The car was set on fire in a wreck, in which trains of three different rail- roads collided at Kelson, 160 miles south of St. Louis. Serve $80,000 Jewels to them.

State Department Gives Notice That Intervention Will Fallow Further Attempts to Nullify Law. The United States threatened a third armed invasion in Cuba in a note presented to the government of that country by Arthur M. Beanpri, American minister at Havana. Mr. Beanpri was acting on full telegraph instructions sent him from the state department. The last time the United States sent troops to Cuba was in October, 1966. It was recalled here that the bullet was freely expressed at that time by both officials and members of congress that the next time American soldiers went to Cuba they would go there to stay. Since that date, however, confidence in the ability of the Cubans to manage their own affairs has greatly increased, there is little expectation that actual intervention will be necessary. The United States minister to Cuba, Mr. Benayre, reported to the state department that, in defiance of a decree issued by President Gomes, forbidding officers of the army and the rural guard to participate in politics in Cuba, the soldiers had practically taken control of the Cuban elections. The situation, Minister Benayre said, was regarded as most serious. This situation is an outgrowth of the agitation begun last fall by the association of the veterans of the war for Cuban independence. The veterans began by demanding the dismissal from office of all men who had been identified with the old Spanish regime in 1895-82, and the appointment of members of their organization to office wherever possible. The campaign has now so far progressed that officers of the army and the rurale guards are being drawn into it contrary to existing law. The veterans in return are demanding that the law prohibiting the participation of army officers and the rurales in politics be made a dead letter and are defying the Gomes administration on the issue. The state department's note, directed seat by President Taft, to the Cuban government, follows: "The situation in Cuba, as now reported, causes grave concern to the government of the United States. "That the laws intended to safeguard free republican government shall be enforced and not defied is obviously essential to the maintenance of law, order and stability indispensable to the status of the Republic of Cuba. In the continued Well-being of which the United States has always envinced and cannot escape a vital interest. "The president of the United States therefore looks to the president and government of Cuba to prevent a threatened situation which would compel the government of the United States to measure it and consider what measure it must take in pursuance of the obligation of its relations to Cuba." MOUSE STARTS .PANIC Women in Trollley Car Scream and Get on Back of Seats. A mouse that escaped from a bag of oysters, which a passenger carried in to a trollley car that runs from Reading, Pa., to Womelsdorf, caused a dozen women passengers to get on the back of the seats and scream lustily. The oyster man began to jump and yell in a still louder tone, for the mouse lid in his trousers as a safe retreat. When it got out of the trousers the mouse spied a girl, whose short skirts made it impossible to cover her ankles, and it made a dash for the black silk stockings. The girl yelled, but none of the women had courage enough to get from their high seats. She finally induced the nausea to retreat and the conductor killed it. FAMINE AND PEST IN RUSSIA Starving Peasants Are Selling Their Children For Food. A doctor in Orenburg reports terrible suffering among the peasants in southeastern Russia. He says that the starving peasants on the River Ural, not having recoivable any assistance, are selling their children to hunger. Many people have died from hunger and typhus, and more than 70 per cent of children are stricken with a fearful epidemic. Kille Man; Plezde Self-Defense. John T. Barcottain, manager of the wholesale department of a Memphis, Tenn., coal company, was shot and killed by W. T. Avery, formerly a real estate dealer. The shooting occurred at Avery's home. Avery, in jail, declined to give the cause of the quarrel, but asserted he fired in self-defense. Pensions For Admirals' Widows. Bills granting pensions to the widows of Admirals Schley and Evans were introduced in the senate. Feared Rabition: Killed Himmell, Kiram Davine, Jr., son of Chief of Police Davine, of Potterville, Pa., committed suicide by shooting himself, making doubly sure of her death, by first taking a dose of hammers. Davine was twenty years old and ofemporary habits. Several weeks ago he were killed by a dog on the home and the loss of dignity in the question of hammers is believed to have led to his death. --- WOULD COST $250,000,000 Postmaster General Will Urge Bills Before Congress to Combine Lines With Postal System. Acquisition of the telegraph lines of the United States by the government, at an approximate cost of $344,000,000, and their operation as part of the postal service, will be recommended to congress in a short time by Postmaster General Ritchieck. For a year or more Mr. Hitchcock has had this recommendation under consideration. After a thorough study of the operation of government-controlled government局 and postal telegraph systems of foreign countries he has decided to write the proposition upon congress. "Should this recommendation be adopted," said Mr. Hitchock, "I am convinced it will result in important economies and in materially lower telegraph rates than now are expected. In approximately fifty countries of the world—notably in Great Britain, Germany, France, Austria, Italy, Spain, Russia and Japan—government controlled telegraphs new are in successful and profitable operation. In many of the countries they are operated in conjunction with the postal service. These telegraphs serve an aggregate population of 960,000,000 and in every instance they have been found to be of immense practical benefit to the people, in both promptitude and cost of the service. In this country postoffice are maintained in numerous places not reached by the telegraph system, and the proposed consolidation, therefore, would afford a favorable opportunity for the wide extension of telegraphic facilities. In many small towns where the telegraph companies have offices the telegraph and mail business could be handled readily by the same employees. It is evident that the separate maintenance of the two services under present conditions results in a need less expense. "The first telegraph in the United States was operated from 1844 to 1847 by the government, under authority from managers. From managers it is derailed. The government control should be resumed. A method for the acquisition of telegraph lines is prescribed in section 5267. of the revised statutes, which provides that, for postal, military or other purposes, the government may purchase telegraph lines, operated in the United States, at an appraised value. "Next to the introduction of a general parcel post, for which there is a strong popular demand, the establishment of a government telegraph system office, in my judgment, the best opportunity for the profitable extension of the nation's postal service." It is not Mr. Hitchcock's purpose to recommend the acquisition of telephone lines, except, possibly, in instances where they are operated as telegraph lines and, are an integral part of definite telegraph systems. The latest census figures available indicate that telegraph companies are connected with the telegraph companies of the United States. The appraised value of the systems proposed to be acquired would be purely conjectural, but it was said it would approximate 500,000,000. The experts who have figured on the proposition are of the opinion that existing telegraph rates could be reduced at least one-third to the public and yet make the investment in, and operation of, the lines profitable to the government. Equitable Life Building Burns The nine-story office building of the Equitable Life Assurance society, in the block 'between Broadway and Nassau street and Cedar and Pine streets, in New York—the first great office building erected in New York—was ruined by fire. It was the most destructive office building fire in the city's history. Six men lost their lives in the falling wreckage. One of those was Batallion Chief William Walsh, of the fire department, who died, carried down by a collapsing floor, as he was leading upward toward the Lawyers' club rooms. William Giblin, president of the Mercantile Safe Deposit company, was saved in the nick of time—dragged through a window whose bars had been sawed through by firemen. President Day, the assurance society, says the securities, worth $1,000,000,000 or more, stored in the vaults of the Equitable and the Mar Cantile Safe Deposit company, are unharmed and that the 90,000 policies on which the Equitable had loaned $70,000,000 had been intact in the steel cases on the second floor. One small vault of the Equitable was opened and over $50,000,000 in stocks and bonds removed. Couple Found Dead Under Xmas Tree. The frozen bodies of Mrs. Agnes Haupt and James Flood were found in the parlor of Mrs. Haupt's home, 3340 Haverford avenue, Philadelphia. They had been dead about eight days. The anhydrosis was the cause of the deaths, according to the police. The coroner will endeavor to learn if a suicide part existed between the John Leston, who lives near door, and invited the woman for several days, and when the milk boiling and newspeople began to accommodate the despair he notified the police. Patricken broke in the door. They that shambled over the dead body of a large cattle dog. In the performance a Christmas tree, were the bodies of Jim, Hanna and Fred. At fifteen a go, the story had been Distinguished and the gun from a new sporty and forward out. The pellets are of the oxygen that the boe was used specially detached, and that the man and woman were Overcome before they could get aid. That the couple had been eight days was surmised from a letter dated Jan. 3, addressed to Mrs. Haupt, found thrust under the door. Six Killed at Grade Crossing Because the grade crossing over the Pennsylvania railroad at Linden avenue, Torredoa, near Philadelphia, was unprotected, five persons were dashed to instant death and another died without regaining consciousness a few minutes later. The dead are: Charles Davidson, fifty years old, driver; Nellie O'Connor, nineteen years old; Rose Gallagher, eleven years old; Mary Roddy, aged twenty, years; Bridget Malloy, forty two year old, and Agnes Garrity, aged twenty two years. For two years it has been Davidson's custom to drive the five girls to early maze at St. Dominic's church, near Holmesburg. He reported at the maze and Belfield, the girls were employed, as usual, with the depot wagon. The cold was bitter, and the five young women huddled together in the closed vehicle, leaving everything to the driver. Davidson, 100, was well bleddled up and had his collar turned up about his ears. As the team, approached the crossing a freight train was pacing, and Davidson waited for it to get by Bundled up as he was, and with the freight train before him, he failed to see the express come thundering along. When the freight had passed Davidson started across, and drove directly in front of the express. In an instant the fyer struck the team, and the *debris* and bodies were scattered along the road for seventy-five yards. Liability Law Uphold. The constitutionally of the employees' liability law passed by congress in 1906 was upheld by the supreme court of the United States in all cases before it. The court also decided that state courts might enforce that act when local laws were appropriate. The opinion held that congress might make regulations between carriers and employees in interstate commerce and that congress did not exceed its powers in the enactment of the law and that the abrogation of the "Yellow servants" rule did not impair the validity of the law. The present law, unlike the previous one condemned, the court held, did not clash with state's rights over interstate commerce. The contention of the railroads, that it created a class-railroad carriers, amenable to the law and others not amenable, was also rejected. The law had, to a small extent, passed laws to the same effect, but again declared now that congress has passed legislation on the question, the state laws must give way to federal laws. Girl Kills Her Empoyer. Marle Bauman, fifteen, years of age, of Marble Hill, Mo., will be taken to the State Home for Grita She poisoned her employer, Philip Kendall, and was sent to a preliminary hearing a verdict of justifiable homicide was returned.

She also testified that Duncan, a married marry with a family, had importuned her to elope with him. Ambassador Bacon Resigns Robert Bacon, ambassador of the United States at Paris, confirmed a report that he would resign from the diplomatic service. Mr. Bacon especially refrained from making his retirement public, as he desired the first announcement to come from Harvard university, where he was nominated to be follow in place of Judge Lowell, deceased. Justice Harlan Left $13,000. The late Associate Justice John Marsh shall Harlan, of the supreme court of the United States, left an estate of $12,000, of which $7200 was in life insurance.

LONG DISTANCE PHONE MADISON Thieves Tie Man and Fire Store Two robbers bound and gagged Samuel E. Miller, who keeps a grocery store at the corner of Poplar and Dorwart streets, Lancaster, Pa., robbed the cash drawer and then set fire to the place. The store was gutted by the fire. Miller's wife heard him groan and rescued him before the fire reached him. When Miller opened his store he said two masked men entered and demanded his money. He replied that he had none, when one said: "You are as poor as we are," and, overpowering him, bound and gagged him. The men took between $60 and $70 from the cash drawer and, piling up some dry goods in the center of the store, set it on fire and left. Miller attracted the attention of his wife through his moans. When she arrived the store was in a blaze and she had barely time to save her husband. Miller says he is sure the robbers are the same men who came to his place at about the same hour on Sunday morning and made a small purchase. Terture and Skin Rebal Officer Alive. According to a news agency in London, Mr. Terture says that the imperial troops are acting with the most frenetic brutality. The allegation is made that they captured an officer of the republican troops, whom they first tortured and subsequently skinned alive. They also shot a Red Cross assistant. It is also reported that they are shooting without mercy every Chinese whom they encounter without a queue. "Greeks call a city "polis". The fundamental, or root, of the word was "pol". The Aryan stock from which Greek and Latin descended had a way of emphasizing an idea by reduplicating—that is, by reporting the root syllable. So probably after the separation of the Greek from his Anatistic birthplace the old-parent stock reduplicated "pol" and made "polol" of it, by which was meant one inhabitant of the city. That reduplicated word appears in Latin as "populus", meaning now all the citizens of a "polis". The Latin went out from the Aryan hive long after the Grecian. They carried "populus" with them, but left "polis" behind. The English descendant of the Aryan stock says "people" now instead of "populus", but almost keeps the original in "population". He keeps "polis" also in the word "politics", which is easily seen by its etymology to be the science of being a citizen." -Chicago News. —Subscribe to The PLANET. Subscribe to The PLANET. J.

D., Bailville Va. November J., 1911. This letter purports to bring to me the good wishes of the writer of the letter and good which he supposed that I had done in writing a letter to the Richmond Richard PRT was also good to know that I was in Brazil, and still glander that I was trying to do some thing for the Negro race. He says that the Negroes generally begin with great forces, but are not able to hold out to the end. He says too, that he had read another letter of mine. THANKS RETURNED . Well, I wish to thank the good brother M. B. for his kind condolences. If I have done any good for the Negro race that I am ent,relly unaccented of it. If he has been made glad by any letter that he might have read in THE PLANET. I can give him. Let us both thank the minister for making both of our hearts glad. If he is a Negro let us both seek to help him in some possible way to make some other sad hearts glad until it comes our time again. Let all thank God that the Editor of The PLANET is one of those young Negroes who has not, yet spent all his force with which he many years ago started out. MUST HOLD UP HIS HANDS Let us see if we can catch and hold up his hand before it falls from the expenditure of his force. And with regard to me: Joing any good thing for the Negro race I do not remember having done any such thing. But I have long had it in my mind that if I ever could get a real good chance, that I would do something which might be of some good to the colored race. I think that it that I have never had the chance for which I hoped. And for this reason I have long since counted myself as a "has been," in the way of goodness, as the rest of those poor Negroes spend all their force in getting ready. But rather than be attil while that I have breath in my body, I have made myself a voluntary member of the misfit maker, as was so called by Prof. Du Bohne, in his famous letter. However, I think that this letter is so of no little importance, in so many respects refers to the brief and forceful bearing of force; the general expansion of force before the end and be reached is rather a rebuke to the rest of the Negroes for not rallying around the young man who attempts to do something." I do not mean that you should all cry that we have found the Christ, but you, should go to him and ask him what is he trying to do, and how should you do it. And what can you do to help him make a success out of his project for all concerned? And I should call him a very poor schemer indeed, if he could not think of some very good use to put your service to, no matter how much we were, so long as you were willing to be used in a good service for all. Why, you have one of the greatest examples in America which took birth in England some years ago, and just let any person, man or woman girl or boy, whether they be rich or poor or of what ever nationality and if they were a little illiterate, do thing good they will be given a great chance. Now, the body to which I refer now is the so-called Salvation Army and I do not believe that they are crying anything about superiority or inferiority, but I tell you that they do get a hold of some very rude subjects, and I dare say that if they choose to that they could count as such, although that of the Tukeeners Institute, and that they are able to point to some of their subjects in just as high positions. They do not seem to be compelled to sell all the rest to get there, either and I doubt very much if one or two of their leaders should wish to travel through the State of Texas or any other state, or Union that they would be compelled to pay $500.00 for a special car. But I am inclined to believe that something is radically wrong with all the Negroes of America, mostly just the names. As it is with them in other countries, and the quicker you find this out the better for you all and me. too. Therefore, you will please me. You will please our cousins on America que esta porcelain," and it is causing a great inconvenience to all the rest of the Negro world. So I invite you all to let us go into house cleaning at once. It is simple facts which constitute science and the greatest builder is he who understands his material in their elementary form. Any man who would only accept wisdom. No, but he looks up to the skies for the thing which should be at our feet, and this is where we often get left. Now let me warn you, all again that as many as possible send your children to the great cities of Boston and others to the schools of Technology and it would be well that all so pure in the tuition fees for some of them be sent to the schools of Technology to teach the others, while still that be sent out the world to establish a name and name for others of your race. Now I thought when I began that I was going to be real nice, but you see by this that it is not in me and I just have to ask you to excuse me which I am in the most words though. But in the most words though, let me say that you all should be advanced of ourselves for not exhibiting more originality in building up your race. This you can never do until you know that men make money and when there are no men money has no value. It is the raw and unheated overwork of all the men who have done very strong contributions and a lot of effort until all the men and so I must be happy. If you have the other for more money than you and you for your tolerance and attentive and bag to announce myself. your most humble servant for absolute social equality to all under similar conditions and, especial favors to name, and do bag that you all, not forget to put enough stamps on your letters and if you do not know ask the Postmaster as it is very hard to pay postage both ways out of my own pockets and no one to help me put anything in them.

Rua dos Capitães Governer Wants Law Against White Teaching Black in South Carolina. Columbia, S. C., Jan. 19.—Gov. Cole L. Blease, who has repeatedly involved against spending white people's taxes to educate negroes, goes a step further in his annual message to the Legislature and urges a law to prevent white per- sons from teaching negroes. The Governor declares a handsome white woman in South Carolina was seen showing affectionate familiarity to negro children, her pupils, and fears it portends the breaking down of the law. With reference to this matter the Governor it is recommended that you pass an act prohibiting any white person from teaching in negro wools or teaching negro children. "We boast that we have no social equality in South Carolina, yet white people are teaching in negro schools, who are associating with the pupils and teaching them that they are as good as white people and are instilling in their heads ideas of social equality. We teach a white woman, and a good looking one, was seen walking on a negro school ground, with old women. You id a negro boy and the other around a negro girl. What do you expect to be the outcome of this kind of conduct? Stop it, and stop it now." With reference to lynching the Governor says that when a negro assaults a white woman "just so long will lynching be had, regardless of how much the newspapers may bow and rage or who is Governor." The adoption of a law prohibiting negroes from belonging to secret societies. He says: "Much annoyance is being caused in various parts of the State by the organization of such lodges. Negroes who commit crime are given assistance in escaping, money is raised to pay lawyers if the one charged with a crime is a member of the lodges; such lodges should be disbanded." Negroes outnumber the white population in South Carolina SERIOUS CHARGE Thaddeus Pemberton Suspected of Attempt to Hibs up Moore (AP) Thaddeus Pemberton, colored, formerly employed as a janitor in the Moore Street School (colored), was arrested last night by Detectives Atkinson and Krengel on a charge of trespassing on the property of the school. Pemberton, it is alleged, was recently discharged a janitor, and, it is further stated, was overheard to make threats that he would blow up the building because he had lost his position. A teacher, going to the building early in the morning discovered it flooded with water and without heat. She made an investigation, and found that sampee had been tempering with the valves of a engine boiler. She notified the printer and, in doing so, melting another examination of the building, called in the police. Detectives Atkins n and Krenge were assigned to the case, and they soon got onto the trail of the discharged janitor. As there was some lack of evidence, they charged him with theft of property. He made a general doubt of the allegations, but the detectives allege that he is the man wanted. Had the boiler exploded, as was the apparent ingention of the man who tampered with it, the building was locked and many lives might have been saved. Pemberton was locked up in the First Police Station. POSSE PURSUES HIM Man Aided by His Wife, Severity In Juice His White Landlord. Wilmington, N. C., Jan. 12.—A large force of citizens followed bloodhounds for ten miles near Clinton, N. C., today in fraternity pursuit of Harvey Rich, a colored tenant, and his wife, who set upon their landlord, Captain C. M. Paleforth, commanding the local military at Clinton, and out his threat from the left ear halfway around his neck and over the left eye, captain Paleforth had a division of the crop, and when the coward man made trouble he got a small stick with which he defiled himself. The man was witted in the pray and didn't war but brought a secretary a stairway down, after which the man been seen came, captain Paleforth drove suddenly to Clinton, greatly weakened by lay of blood. A pawn was quickly burned and moved to the house of Bloody Reinhardt, from where the coward man took the stairway and came to the house. Long after the pawn was moved to the In the early part of the eighteenth century there lived in Haiti a black man of letters—Bruno Davenport, who was distinguished as an author and publicist and a defender of his race. I am going to quote some things said by the Brenn at the period when Santo Domingo fresh from her victories over the English and French, who had sought to crush the manhood of these indomitable blacks and make them slaves, was trying the experiment of governing itself without the aid or consent of any white nation. Some of the French and English feared of those black men. But they ignored their jeers and slurs and the threats of their work of building a nation. They caneed and they have had no outside help—no practical encouragement from the so-called Anglo-Bacon race. The South American Republic or some of them have been encouraged by Europe and the United States from time to time with loans to develop their commerce and business. But Santo Domingo has been allowed to stand on its own leg, and while this standing has been labelled unmercifully by white men in Europe and America as a horrible example of "Cannibalism, Heathenism and Horse." And all because these black men used Toussaint L'Ouverture thrashed the white France and England man fashion and themselves from the yoke of slavery which these nations sought to put upon them over a hundred years ago. In 1819, a Philadelphia newspaper received among its exchanges a number of copies of The Gazette Royal of Haytil of the first of October of that year, which was printed at the Royal Printing Office at Sann Lorici. Commenting on these publications the Philadelphia paper made: The printing is excellent and the style is truly royal; the head of the paper is ornamented with the arms of a shield luna, studded with eleven stars; in the centre, a Phoenix crowned, and with a scroll containing the motto, "Je readle cendren," the escutcheon is created by an imperial crown, and therefrom depends a collar of alternate medallions and knots to which is suspended a star of six double points, the whole supported by two lions armed, rampant guardant and crowned the scroll inscribed with the following motto: "Dien ma cause of mon spec. Americans who read about Haytil, and Englishmen and Presidents who had felt the temper of Haytil in the unengaged struggle for Haytil in independence answered at these black in independence they began to build a nation on the bleaching bones of avaricious white men which stewed her bloody fields, and mountain creats. Of these Baron Devasty wrote: "A Black King in Santo Domingo, a crown upon the head of a black Bob. This is what the black publicists, the journalists and writers of Colonial systems cannot differ from all will say understandingly that a black King is a phenomena who never ought to come into the world. "Of all the prejudices that afflict the human speals, dishononably, there does not exist one more odious more absurd and more fatal in all its consequences than the prejudices of color. Who shall rule over the blacks if the blacks wish to have a King? Does Royalty itself affect the white color exclusively or could they exist the motives for reproposition receiving the differences in the color of the diversified races of the globe. The special qualities of man physical and are they prejudiced to the differences of color? Force, courage, virtue and the vices, the good and the evil powers and to develop the sources of the skin and tendencies of men's hearts, good. If it isn't so if the only difference of color is a crime to ourselves is the white color to rule exclusively the universe. Arm yourselves and revolt against the will of the Creator because of the variety of man upon the earth as of the animals and other productions that are the work of His hands. If the Seychelles, Mongolians, and Egyptian mice, White, yellow and black were to oppose you coerce you because you are not of the same color were they determinate you, the victorious color would rule exclusively the universe, what feelings, oh passions of man. What would you not stoop to do? Let us this doctrine of the prejudice of color fall back on you. Let not the fruits of this brilliant civilization you live in be scattered to the winds."

After the stout woman had left the car a young man examined excitedly, "She has left her bundle," and then he added resolutely, "I will take it to her." Reeling the package, the starling youth leaped from the car in the middle of the block. "Hey, lady!" he shouted, rushing back to her with the bundle in his outstretched hands. "You left this, madam." "Taln't mine," she answered. "It belongs to the big colored man that was asleep in the corner." The car was three blocks away and going further. "What in the world shall I do?" said the starling young man. "If I were in your place," the most woman replied, "I would surrender myself to the police and telephone for a smart lawyer."—Yewark News.

Barbara had told him nothing of her visit to the house in the Street-of-the-Miny-Valley. To speak of it would probe her own wound too deeply. The after dinner plums exhausted the bouquet of evening cigars and the chatter of tourists. Far below, across the gorge, lights twintied in native doorways and obey glimmered like golden yellow interiors. The air was heavy with pine odors, and baskets the trees, sparkling new with intrandescents, that black molts had replaced the sunlight fashing dragon flies. Sitting in a small circle on straw mat, the amber players at length mingled their extra, twittering caddies with the soft thunder of the water. As the musicians finished their last number and trooped away Patricks pawned and rose, "Here," she observed, in where little Patricks put her face and hands to bed. This mountain air is perfectly demoralizing! The two girls went upstairs together. At her own room Patty put her arm around the other and knelt her. "Oh I wonder if you were sure" she said. There are five insults. Harbara then opened the window of her room and drew a low stool to the barroom. "I wonder" she said sound. With elbows on the rolling and chin in hands, she looked long and curiously into the dark red. Why was she so no longer able to warn all this beauty and beauty? She started.

I thought you wouldn't mind, now—now that you are engaged to marry Austin. You are aren't you!" She inclined her head. "Yen," she said slowly. "I have promised to marry him." "Then you know him pretty well, and you know that he that he doesn't altogether approve of me." "I have never heard him say that," she interrupted quickly. "I're true, though, he rejoined bitterness. "Been always been down on me. I'm not still enough for him. He made me money by grabbing, and he thinks everybody ought to do the same. It's-It's the matter of money I want to speak to you about."

It was just a run of bad luck when I had expected to square myself. You see, Austin never overrocks anything. He's very likely not to cut me off entirely and hug me high and dry. I—I thought perhaps you would—you might get him to do the deceit thing and help me out of the boke. If I once got straight I'd stay my, but I want a fair allowance.

"It belongs to Mr. Denet." "You mean—you say—that you have been living in it?" "Tee. Way?" She had rushed slowly to her foot, just then hotly suffused. "There then Hare!" She spoke to a dry whisper. He snarred, looking at her with quiet, successful suspicion. "What do you know about Hare?" "Never mind—prior mind that! I want to know. Hare—she is—Mr. Denet was not!" "No never saw her in his life so far as I know," he answered politely. "What has that to do with it?" For an instant she looked at him without a word, her fingers working. Then she began to laugh in a new tone, wildly, chastily. "Of course! What has that to do with it? What you want to make happen, but it? That is all you came to and said."

The Old "Smash Frigate" The "snook frack" was well known in New England villages in the early sixties. It was a plain, servile garment, never facetiously ornamented, at least not to our knowledge, but puritanic and distinctive. The blind man wore it and it was not adorned thus dressed to rise in town meeting to speak against the lawyer, the healer, the minister or rich man of the villages on a question of raising money for schools, repair of roads or strengthening a bridge. The town meeting described and hated by De Tecquerville was distinguished by the snook fracks. Yet even in the stables the garment was not known to many dwellers in large town. George J. Stuart was once defending more than accused of arson. The court was held at Northampton. A witness had insisted that a suspicious person, watched by a constable, was dressed in a snook frack. Mr. Stuart first quarried in to the meaning of the term and then made all manner of fun of the garments. For once his marked showed nearsed him. The snook frack was often worn by men then on the jury.-Boston Herald. The Discoverer of "Waverton." One of the very first person to identify Scott as the author of "Warrior" was Jodrey.

Once they stood before the church altar, uttering invocable vow. Where are they now? None mung more gladness than they those happy praises of Sunday school hours. When has heavenly melody graced their tip of late? More trifles alienated them. By slow degrees they fell away. Burn the sightings of mothers, sisters, wives, children, interested religious friends, over these profligids—who can? Suppose every one of them returned today. Sanctuaries terrestrial and celestial would be all anthems of thanksgiving. There is a more important question: How shall disciples be kept from impinging? Better infinitely the preventive than the care. Teach Simon Peter not to be so overwellingly nitre of himself. Take from his tongue that lead hearing. "Though all men formake them, yet will not L." Tell him not to follow his Lord after off. Show him his place. His only safe place, in close to the innest Christ in Caliph's health, not back among the backyards. Well, we will, the majority of us, have some humble apologies to make Simon Peter in the last day. Comparing his chance with ours, he holds unanticipated but pleased raw from Gilead, from the fishing note; we with phallic contempts of Christianity to guide and cheer. How far have we denied our Lord in refraining into the hand of the table at our business conference, the first place in professional and social and private life? Must a discipline today literally discipline Christ's lordship with earnest in order to be classed in Peter's category? Has everybody you have been thrown with recently received the impression that you enthroned Jesus in your heart? Who liquidarity necessary to accommodate your discipleship? For he it from any man so astonished himself by his position, by his leadership in the religious world, not beyond the pale of the possibility of falling.

Since "John Peter." They have to discuss the essential message Isahah's call to repentance and forgive men in a nutshell. They express the path of the parable of the prodigal son. See afresh the scene in that upper room at Jerusalem. Noon has collapsed into midnight without intervening space. The Nazareene they trusted failed. The Pharisees have made good, their prediction that Jesus would be crushed by them. Oh, the hopelessness now that he, their Lord, is dead! Dare they return to distant Galilee to live amid the taunts of those who jeered enough already at their devotion to the Galilean prophet? Worst of all, their apostleman discipline, the dauntless one, has made a sorry mess of his discipline. Have you heard what Peter did? Do you know he swore, and swore there in the high priest's house, that he never even knew the Master? Then the executions of Peter, if those dispositions are human an ourn. Here arrive Mary Magdalene—Magg, the mother of James the Lee—and Salome, announcing the overwhelming news: "Jesus of Nazareth is risen! He goeth before you into Galilee. There shall ye see him, as he said to you." "His messengers at the tomb urged us to tell his disciples and Peter," whereupon Peter, like a wild rose of the mountains, races to the empty tomb, beholds the evidences of the resurrection, returns to the fold of faith and obedience. Slow we are to believe in forgiveness. The feud between families in Scotland or Kentucky epitomizes the heartiness of mortals to let go the memory and the resentment of an injury. The world would have said, "Go, tell his disciples except Peter." Here meet we a new spirit, an element so awful (. . .) to interpret the palmist's saying, "There is forgiveness with three, that thou mayest be feared." One scarcely likes to wait to put on hat and coat; to go to give the news to the Peters who need to be devoted and are wayward this hour. Let the lapped know that they can be more than ever useful yet. Touder stands a preacher who sees 3,000 converts in a day. Who is he? Peter.

Now is exactly the time when the home maker of underwear may pick THE PRESIDENT OF LONDON AND MIDLANDS You will receive courteous attention and your patronage is earnestly solicited. Out of Town Orders Promptly Attended. If our prices are higher, you can go elsewhere if you can better them in the same grade and class of work. If our prices are lower, we stand ready to accept the business. And exquisitely fine bargains in lace are to be found in the shops at every turn. In this way a woman clever with her needle may own a petticoat the price of which would be prohibitive if it were purchased all ready to wear. Good patterns in the most approved lines are to be had for 10 cents, which make the matter of turning out such a piece of lingerie merely a matter of careful putting together and neat sewing. The brassiere, a little piece of under-wear resembling a corset cover, but made on close fitting lines, is to be found in the wardrobe of every woman who "is inclined to be atout." At first these brasalera were very practical, unattractive looking affairs, --- but certainly they have been brought out in most attractive guise.

It is hardly necessary to add that the correct should not be bought in one's size, but should be comfortably fitted. Fashionable Stationery. This season exalt large paper and envelopes are in vogue. The envelopes fit the paper without its folding. They come for all sizes of paper except the ultra fashionable 12 by 5 inch sheets, which fold once. Envelopes open at the narrowest end, which is a decided innovation. The flap are in irregular or unusual shapes. Lined thin envelopes are used even when the paper is thicker. Mottled metallic effects in bright tones are the latest whim in linings. The prevailing shade is in harmony with the outside paper. Correspondence cards, too, are larger than formerly. Visiting cards alone remain the usual size, cambric finish with old English or block types being correct. Baby Can't Kick It Off. BABY CAN'T KILL IT ON. When the baby is old enough to toddle it becomes necessary to dress him at night in a garment that will protect him from cold. The ideal nightshirt for young children is one that covers the whole body, foot included, and with one of those on the child may bake the blankets off without any ill effect. Pannel is the best material for the purpose, and in the making he serves to allow for shirrking and see that the beddings are pearl or beads. The collar may be edged with lace or embroidery.
