The CHILD of o LEADING O BY WALDON The CHILDREN of our LEADING OFFICIALS BY WALDON FAWCETT HE past decade has witnessed a most witnessed change in what might be termed the status of children as a class in the higher official circles of the nation. The time was many years ago, either, when t here were comparatively f e w children of an age that entitled them to be classed as young people in the households of Uncle Sam's best-paid servants. If there were junior members of such households, they were for the most part grandchildren or cousins or nephews and nieces. The result of this state of affairs was that the juveniles, neither collectively nor individually, were much of a factor in the social activities of the household, and very few of the entertained in this sphere were planned especially for the benefit of the younger contingent of the community. But, as has been said, the past half score of years has seen gradual change of conditions that has made the juveniles and the unmarried young men and young women an element to be reckoned with. The explanation of the new state of affairs is to be found, of course, in the capture by younger men of a large proportion of the most exalted positions of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government. No longer need a public man be a grandfather he is deemed to have arrived at the years of discretion necessary to warrant the nation in entrusting its most momentous affairs to him. Something of this same leaning in favor of younger men has even been manifested on the part of many of the leading foreign governments that send envoys to act as accredited resident representatives at Washington. The natural sequel of this invasion of food in our growing circles is that the elders have dulging in forms of entertainment less staid and solemn than those of some years back—why, President Taft himself delights to trip the light fantastic toe—and the juniors of offi- claldom have had all sorts of parties planned with special reference to their well-known propensities. The White House furnishes an apt orientation as to the revolution in sentiment that has taken place. Prior to the Roosevelt administration there had been in many years only a few periods when there were present in the executive mansion children of age to influence the social program. Indeed the children of the Grant and Hayes families were about the only youngsters to live up the old mansion since the days of the Civil war. With the arrival of Theodore Roosevelt, accompanied by his half a dozen strenuous children, however, time-honored traditions had a shake-up in favor of the fads of young hearts and young heads, and this policy has been pursued during the Taft regime, although the present chief magistrate has a brood only half as numerous as that of his predecessor. A noticeable exemplification of the revision that has taken place in the social calendar is found in the prominent place that youngsters' dances have occupied of late years on the winter entertainment program at the White House. And in summer the tourist may see juvenile baseball games in progress in the president's back yard, to say nothing of the comings and goings of youthful riders on horse or bicycle; roller skating on the asphalt about the mansion; and mild "joy riding" in a nasty electric phaeton. What has been true of the White House has been a bona fide degree of the cabinet homes. It is safe to say that the homes of the members of the president's official family have during the past ten years sheltered more young people in their teens (or just out of them) than in any other similar interval in the entire history of the country. And, today there is a liberal representation of this junior element in the cabinet community. Secretary of State Knox may be said to have but recently graduated from the class of "dependent fathers" when his youngest son eloped with a pretty Rhode Island girl, although the youthful looking premier has been a grandfather for several years past. Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor has several fathers a very attractive daughter, and Secretary of the Navy Hayes has two daughters who always dress exactly alike after the fashion of twins. There are also young people in the family of Secretary of the Interior Ballinger. cialdom have had all sorts of parties planned with especial reference to their well-known propensities.

Secretary to the President Norton, who might be placed in this category, if, indeed, he is not entitled to rank as the equal of the cabinet members themselves, his children of the interesting age, and so have Assistant Postmaster General Stewart and other of the proxies of the cabinet members. Children have even invaded the conservative supreme court with their numbers. Time was when the thought of young men in the homes of the aged and dignified members of the nation's highest tribunal seemed almost incongruous, but as in other spheres of governmental activity this is an age of younger men on the supreme court bench, and this has created a supreme court community with a number of junior members. Mr. Justice Hughes, who came so near to winning the coveted appointment of chief justice, has perhaps the most interesting family, consisting of three daughters and one son, but Mr. Justice Day has several sons who yet are young men though they have left the paternal family, and then in several of the supreme court households who have all the privileges claimed by closer kin. With the arrival of Theodore Roosevelt, accompanied by his half a dozen strenuous children, however, time-honored traditions had a shake-up in favor of the fads of young hearts and young heads, and this policy has been pursued during the Taft regime, although the present chief magistrate has a brood only half as numerous as that of his predecessor. A noticeable exemplification of the revision that has taken place in the social calendar is found in the prominent place that young people's dances have occupied of late years on the winter entertainment program at the White House. And in summer the young people have played games in programs in the president's back yard of the comings and goings of youthful riders on horse or bicycle; roller skating on the asphalt about the mansion; and mild "joy riding" in a nutty electric phaeton. Probably the most interesting family in that section of officialdom made up of the households of the members of the United States senate is that of Senator La Follette, the insurgent leader. There are two many sons and two very beautiful daughters, the eldest of whom has already demonstrated her inheritance of her father's marked histrionic ability. Senator La Follette is the chum and companion of his children to a degree that is almost ideal. Senators Smoot, Dick and Tillman are other wearers of the toga whose children have become fairly well known to newspaper readers through the publication of characteristic anecdotes, and there are a number of other members of the upper house of congress who are kept youthful by their energetic offspring. What has been true of the White House has been true in an equal degree of the cabinet homes. It is safe to say that the homes of the members of the president's official family have during the past ten years sheltered more young people in their teens (or just out of them) than in any other similar interval in the entire history of the country. And, today there is a liberal emphasis on the junior net community.

Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor has several children, including a very attractive daughter, and Secretary of the Navy Meyer has two daughters who always dress exactly alike, and the rest of the family there are also young people in the family of Secretary of the Interior Ballinger. Among the families of the members of the house of representatives children are so numerous as to render it impracticable to attempt a detailed roster. The recent elections which turned the control of the house over to the Democrats will likely serve to bring a couple of children into the limelight—the son and daughter of Champ Clark of Missouri who is the fortunate man who has been selected to succeed "Uncle Joe" Cannon as speaker.

WALDON FAWCETT DAUGHTER OF CHAMP CLARK SECRETARY NAGEL AND DAUGHTER Photographs Copyright by WALDON FAWCETT THE FAMILY PRESIDENT TAYLOR AND HIS CHILDREN no young children of his own, but he has had with him in his Washington home much of the time the two sweet-mannered daughters of a married daughter, and since the veteran legislator makes his home in summer with this daughter at Danville, ill., he has enjoyed the companionship of these girls as continuity, and he could enjoy the society of young children of his own. Gen Leonard Wood, the new head of the United States army, furnishes another example of a man attaining an exalted post at an unusually early age. He and Mrs. Wood have three children. The sons, Leonard Jr., and Gabrin, are of about the age to enter college, but the dainty daughter of the family, named for her mother, Louise Condi-Smith Wood, is but ten years of age. Some of the children of puberty, the nation take the greatest interest are the little sons of daughters of former national officials now deceased. Prominent in this category is Miss Elizabeth Harrison, only child of the late ex-President by his second marriage and the youngest living daughter of an American president. Other fatherless young folks for whom the people at large feel a strong regard are the children of the late Grover Cleveland and the children of the late United States Senator Dolliver of Iowa, perhaps the ablest of all the leaders of the "Progressives" in congress. In our "official foreign colony," made up of the families of the men of different nationalities who are sent by their respective governments to act as diplomatic representatives in the United States, there are many children, there are many women in many insances married American wives, it naturally follows that the children of such unions are half American. This is true of the children of the minister of Belgium and Countess de Buissenet and Countess Luise-Alexandra von Bernstorf, only daughter of the German ambassador and his Yankee consort. And, by the way, it is of interest in this connection that the young countess is to be married this coming spring to one of her father's secretaries, the Count Portalles, who also has an American mother. Baron Hengelmuller, the ambassador of Austria-Hungary, and present dean of the diplomatic corps (although, if he confirms current gossip, he may resign this reaches the eyes of our readers), has a very pretty little daughter in her early teens who has spent virtually her entire life in the United States, her father having been stationed here continuously some 6 years. The minister of Costa Rica Rio Salado (also a member of that family that has tarried long enough in this republic to feel perfect at home. Almost to most of the Latin-American households, the Calvo family includes a number of children, and these young people are very talented in music and have formed an orchestra within their family circle. Senor de la Barra, the Mexican ambassador, whose wife died a little over a year age, and who is about to marry his sister-in-law, has two handsome boys aged 11 and 13 years, who are being educated in American schools, and the Chinese minister has daughters who are acquiring a Yankee education in the seclusion of their own home by the aid of an American governess. Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador, has a pretty daughter, and there is also an attractive daughter of the "bud" age in the household of Marchese Susani Canfal onl), the new ambassador of Italy.

Apart from the tragedies invited by sin and violence and self-indulgence, a large part of our trouble comes from anxiety, distrust, apprehension. It was not all frivolity that dictated the answer of a young girl, who being urged to prepare herself for a profession or a definite work, responded: "I'm not going to look ahead and worry. I can do a lot of useful things: I can mend, and make salad, and amuse children, and be patient and economical, and help people to enjoy themselves, and I don't believe nice girls starve." Courage and faith are always assets. Even if life goes back upon them and falls to come up to expectations, the practice of these virtues is just that much to the good, and we have at least not lived in the evil moment until it arrived.—Harper's Weekly. WHERE FIGHT RAGED Trask Rock Marks Historic Maine Battleground. Was the Landing Place of American Troops and is Named for a Drummer in the War of 1812. Portland, Me—Popular as a summer resort, and teeming with interesting bits of historical notes, bordering on Penobscot bay waters, is the little town of Castine, Me. It was once surrounded by water, by reason of the trenches dug by the British while the territory was in their hands in 1812, but it is now part of the mainland. The town has relatives and historical bits of interest fors of French, British and American build, and an old book, all of which interest the historian. One of the most interesting of these old sites is "Trask rock," once called "Hinckley's rock." It is situated on the western shore. It was the landing place of the Americans at the time of the Penobscot expedition, when they made an attempt to secure possession of the island. Trask rock is of a peculiar whiteness. It is large and showy, made conspicuous by a background of bowlers and a preface. It is situated on a low hill, where the blockhouse was located during the war, and the present site of the lighthouse on Dyce's Head. This side of the island being weakly protected in 1812, the Americans were enabled to make a successful landing. The landing took place on the night of July 28. The weather was damp, and a slight swell tossed the vessels as they moored along the coastline just beyond the reach of the British musketry on shore. About three oclock in the morning preparations were made for a landing. In the screen of a low-hanging fog about 400 marines and militia landed on and near the Trask rock. A section of the landing force was under command of Captain Hinckley, who, landing on the Trask rock as the British opened fire, urged his men on up the steep bank. He was killed in the rush by a shot fired from a force of the enemy on the rock which long bore his name. As "Hinckley rock" it was known until after years, when a Mr. Trask, who was a drummer in the American ranks, visited the town. Trask Rock. He had played martial arts all through the fight and the name was changed to Trask rock in commemoration of his bravery. Trask at the time of the war was a boy of eighteen, and long after the war he visited the site of the rock and the battle and the battle and that more than 100 lives were lost on the island in that fight out of about 400 engaged. In the year 1828 the Dyce's Head lighthouse was built on the north side of the entrance to the harbor, being named after the first settler in that part of the town. It was originally built of wood and was very shabby constructed. It became so much in need of repairs and so unsafe that it was torn down and another one built in the city. The head was properly named for John Dryce, who owned it in 1775. WONDERFUL MEXICAN ESTATE Great Farm Which Is Said to Have No Equal 'in Size and Value. City of Mexico.—The splendid estate of Don Luis Terrazas, in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, is probably without equal. Terrazas is said to own the greatest farm in the world. His estate includes 8,000,000 acres of fertile land and extends 150 miles eastward and 200 miles north and south. On its mountains and through its valleys room over 100,000 cattle, 700,000 sheep and 100,000 horses, these being tended by an army of 2,000 horsemen, herdsmen and shepherds and hunters. Each year at least 150,000 head of cattle and 100,000 sheep are slaughtered, dressed and packed, this ranch being the only one in the world which maintains its own slaughtering and packing plant. On this gigantic estate are five reservoirs, which cost $500,000, and 300 wells, which cost over another $500,000. Don Luis Terrazas is a scientific farmer, and raises every kind of grain in his great fields. His homehouse in existed as the finest farmhouse in existed as the greatest capable of accommodating 500 guests at the palace and was erected at an expense of $2,000,000. It is a veritable country palace. On the homestead alone are employed over 100 male servants.

ZELAYA WAS BRUTAL SLAYER Washington.—The United States department of state has a secret report which places an entirely new light on the execution of Leroy Cannon and Leonard Gross, who were shot upon the orders of former President Jose Santos Zelaya during the recent rebellion in Nicaragua. Of this report the deposed President Zelaya now at large in Europe, if captured and brought back to Nigragua, may be treated as a murderer, and a vigorous lesson given the warring Central American republics relative to the rights of American citizens. The general impression had been that Gross and Cannon were caught within the lines of the enemy and were treated as spies, in accordance with the laws of war. This sentiment was by mileleading newspaper reports and by the statement of one of the victims, that "it is the fortune of war." On the contrary, it appears that Gross and Cannon were captured while asleep, that they were not saving that Former President Zelaya. they had not attempted to blow up a bridge with dynamite as originally reported, that they were shot upon the direct order of Zelaya, that they were given only a farcical trial, and that they were entitled to the ordinary treatment of combatants captured in war. Of the men who constituted the court-martial, one is dead and the other has disappeared. Zelaya, the man responsible, whose order resulted in the death of the two adventurous Americans, is a marked man and may never return to Nicaragua, nor to any portion of the world where the United States has influence. "Court-martial and shoot at once," was the first order given by Zelaya and when the court hesitated he finally sent the order "shoot them immediately." This last telegram now is said to be in the hands of the governors of the United States. The story is a recital of order of the great exhibitions of high-handed power ever known, even in the sem-barabian Central American republic. This is not the only evidence which the state department has against the deposed Nicaraguan tyrann. It is told of him that he exercised the absolute power of a Nero. The present government of Nicaragua has promised to make amends to the relatives of Gross and Cannon in the payment of money to their relatives will not regard the ends of justice as having been carried out, so long as Zelaya is at liberty. THE OLD CUMBERLAND ROAD It is Now Proposed to Reconstruct the Famous Pike Lake 800 Miles Long Baltimore, MD.-The old Cumberland road is attracting attention to itself in the various states through which it passes and there is a growing appreciation of its historical value. Some of the states have undertaken more or less extensive repairs along the ancient thoroughfare. Pennsylvania is one of the states in it and many of the counties in Ohio and Indiana are doing what they can amend the great highway, which in its day was by far the most important in this country. It has even been suggested that the federal government be persuaded to co-operate with the states in a scheme for the reconstruction of the famous pile all the way from Cumberland, MD., to its western terminus at St. Louis. Nearly 800 miles in length and almost perfectly straight course from the old tidewater to the Mississippi river it would furnish a magnificent pathway for automobiles. If this shall be accomplished the old road will again become a busy thoroughfare. Taverns will open their hospitable doors at frequent intervals along its length, as in the ancient days, and the echoes of the hills in the passes of the Allegheny mountains will be awakened by the cheerful honking of motor horns—just as in former times they responded to the merry tooting of the coach guards' trumpets. It would become the fashion for automobile parties to "do the pike," the long straightaway stretches of which would afford most attractive opportunities for speeding, while a trip over it in a gasoline car might be deemed worth taking for the mere sake of the extraordinarily picturesque and beautiful scenery. $2.40 PER YEAR HIGH WATER TOWER Encased in the World's Largest Corinthian Column. Ancient Triumph of Architecture Which for Forty Years Has Evoked the Admiration of Visitors to St. Louis. St. Louis—The old water tower, the first and original, has gone out of service. Its usefulness as well as need in the magnificent water system of St. Louis is a thing of the very recent past. In the ancient water tower the city of St. Louis possesses the finest and most Corinthian column in the world. Then in 1400 persons in St. Louis, even those who have knowledge of the finer and artistic elements—those that mark for grandeur and perfection in symmetry—who ever realized the value of the tower as a work of utility and beauty. Few, indeed, are aware that the western metropolis, for a period of nearly forty years, possessed a triumph in architecture which has again and again evoked the admiration of visitors from Europe and other parts of our own country. Some forty years ago, when the waterworks system was limited and in its architecture it was deemed imperative that a means of relief for the service pumps and the class of engines in use be established. About that time Joseph P. Kirkwood, a noted eastern engineer, became the chief engineer of the St. Louis waterworks. Mr. Kirkwood was an expert in waterworks mechanism and engineering. He went to Europe in that period to make a study of the best waterworks systems in the big capitals, and came back with much information as to high standpipes. He was along in 1868 that the water system had a high standpipe at Grand avenue. A best fit by means of guy ropes, but Mr. Barnett, the architect of the department, suggested inclosing the pipe in a column of brick. The idea was adopted by the engineers and the commissioners. The work of building the Corinthian column was by contract. It was started in the fall of 1869 and completed in July, 1871, when the first gallon of water was pumped into the big standpipe. The top of the floor from the ground to the top of the tower of the capital, where the observation platform is—is 164 feet. The column proper, encasing the pipe, is 155 feet 4 inches. The base of the column is The St. Louis Water Tower. masonry, Jollet stone, 8 feet thick From the top of the masonry the column was constructed of brick, beginning with a thickness of 2 feet 3 inches at the base and gradually reducing, by successive stops, to 1 foot 1 inch at the bottom of the capitol, the ornate cap of the tower, where stands the observation platform. The diameter of the base of the column—the masonry—the stands 44 feet. The column on the inside is a space of 2 feet 8 inches, and in this space was built a spiral stairway, winding around the pipe and leading to the observation platform on the capitol. The height of the capitol is 19 feet 8 inches. From this point thousands of persons who were willing to brave the fatigue of climbing the narrow spiral stairway have had a fine view of the city and the surrounding country. The total cost of the old water tower was $45,644. And the city considered it a good investment. The city was completed the citizens of St. Louis it as a monument of civic enterprise to be proud of, but few realized the real merit of the structure as a splendid example of good engineering and architectural beauty.

Lewis, of Massachusetts, as Assistant Attorney General of the United States, marks a new era in race progress. It is a positive advance over anything in the line of political appointments ever made by a Republican President. In his inaugural address President Taft said: "The Negroes are now Americans. Their ancestors came here years ago against their will, and this is their only country and their only flag." "Any recognition of distinguished Negroes, any appointment to office from among their number, is properly taken as an encouragement and an an- Junior Senator of Illinois, who was V indicated in the U. S. Senate by a Vote of 46 to 40. preciation of their progress, and this just policy shall be pursued." President Taft has appointed other Afro-Americans to good places in the Government service, but the importance of the Lewis appointment lies in the fact that it is a higher place than has ever before been given to one of the race. As Assistant Attorney General it will be necessary to assign Mr. Lewis to some of the most important legal work of the Government and it is certain that he is well qualified for the place. An Assistant Attorney General outranks many high officials and the Afro-American people are pleased to know that they have a representative of the race so near in rank to a Cabinet officer. they sit silent when a protest should be made. THE DEADLY TYPEWRITER. The Washington Post reveals the startling fact that the typewriter deserves a place among the death-dealing inventions of the 19th century. The facts in the case are these: A New Jersey firm sent a typewriter communication in reference to a business transaction to a Kentucky mountaineer. The Kentuckian-responded as follows: Now I don't want no more of yore printed letters. I wont stand sigh from no house. I am fifty-six years old the last of next coming January and the furst man has got to put my back on the ground vitiligent. The Afro-Americans of the country naturally feel very grateful to President Taft for this appointment. Great credit is due the slavic citizens of Chicago for their protest to the Union League Club against the presence of Count Apponyi at the Peace Dinner on Washington's birthday Count Apponyi had already declined the invitation on the ground of previous engagements and for this reason the club escaped the embarrassing necessity of deciding whether to withdraw it. It is asserted by those who joined in the protest that Apponyi represents the worst form of tyranny in the Hungarian government and that he is not an exponent of universal peace. The protestants who number 500,000 claim that Apponyi was responsible for the masacre of innocent people, who were slaughtered while he was in office and that "He is known in all the world as the representative of the Hungarian government system, which means a continual chain of political, national and social crimes perperated against the Slovaks and other non-Hungarian nations in Hungary." It is right that the Slovaks should protest against their arch enemy. It is always right to protest against wrongs. The Afro-Americans in this country suffer many wrongs because J.

The facts in the case are these: A New Jersey firm sent a typewritten communication in reference to a business transaction to a Kentucky mountaineer.

KICK! KICK!! KICK!!! All over the United States, the Irish are making a fight against the comic post cards in connection with St. Patrick's day. The Ancient Order of Hibernians have petitioned the Postmaster General to prevent the objectionable matter from going through the mails. The Irish are right. There is no reason on earth why these scurrilous cards which reflect upon the Irish people should be transported in the United States' mails. All honor to people who so vigorously protested against the insults offered to their race.

New Official, Will Rank Above Brigadier Generals, Navy Captains, District Court Justices, and Commissioners, Senator Lodge to Work for Confirmation. William H. Lewis, an Afro-American of Boston, was appointed by President Taft yesterday to the important post of Assistant Attorney General of the United States. One of the assistants in the Department of Justice has been engaged for a long time on special work, and this man has given notice that, on the completion of his present work, he will resign. Speaker Cannon and other leaders recommended to the Attorney General that, when the incumbent resigns, the place be abolished. It is now likely, however, that Lewis will be given the place, taking over some of the duties of the other assistants. From members of official and social sets, objections were raised at the first mention of Lewis' name. The bitterest protests come, however, from the Democrats in the Senate and the House. It was bad enough that the Republican party should stand sponsor for the Sutherland amendment to the direct elections resolution, which was meant to protect the Afro-American, but now the Republican party is preparing to elevate an Afro-American to the highest office ever conferred to that position, which is the argument of the Democrats. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, it is understood, will fight hard for the confirmation of the appointment of Lewis. 1910 William Henry Lewis is one of the prominent Afro-Americans of the country. Born of parents who had been slaves, he won distinction at Harvard as a scholar and an athlete, attracted attention later as a lawyer in this city, and during the administration of President Roosevelt was appointed assistant district attorney at Boston, Mass. Lewis was born in Berkley, Va., in 1863. In 1888 he entered Amherst College, where he won distinction for scholarship and athletics. Entering the Harvard Law school in 1892, played center on the football team for two years, and later was one of the coaches. He is credited with being the first football strategist to find a way to stop Pennsylvania's famous "guards back" play. The Negro's High Standing in the Bible. That a Negro gave Moses the principles of the Mosaic law, and by the marriage of his daughter to the world's greatest law-giver, proved the intimate relations and highstanding of the Negro in the affairs of the Bible is given historical proof according to a work just published by the Bible Publishing Company, of Moravian Falls, N. C., and written by Dr. Arthur T. Abernethy. Dr. Abernethy, who is the author of a three volume history of New York, and several other historical works of international recognition was, during the life of King Leopold, a personal friend of the King and is the author of a book of the Congo. Free, State, dealing with his extensive study of the conditions of the colored races in various parts of the world. The importance of the historical work just issued by the Dixie Publishing Co., is increased by the fact that it is written by a white man who is famous on both sides of the subject without fear or favor. Dr. Abernethy is one of the 600 hundred American authors elected by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and by birth a Southern man. The book which is entitled: "The Jew a Negro," proves by Jewish historians and copious quotations from the Old and New Testament, that the Negroes occupied the highest positions in Bible times, and are the direct descendants of Moses, Abraham, David, Solomon, and the other patriarchs. It goes farther and declares that these great Biblical characters were colored men, and reasons it out with the historical daring and evidence which ought to make every ambitious colored person want to read the book. This book is printed on the best book paper, bound in cloth and can be precured from the above mentioned publisher by mail for 50 cents. Self in Everything Let us always remember that nothing befalls us that is not of the nature of ourselves. There comes no adventure but wears to our soul the shape of our everyday thoughts; and deeds of heroism are only offered to those who have, for many long years, been heroes in obscurity and silence. And whether you climb up the mountain or go down the hill to the valley, whether you journey to the end of the world or merely walk around your house, none but yourself shall you meet on the highway of fate. If Judas go forth to night, it is toward das his steps will tend, nor will chance for betrayal be lacking; nor will chance for betrayal open his door, he shall find Socrates asleep on the threshold before him and there will be occasion for wisdom — Masterluck LETTERS OFTEN INDISCREET. Lord Palmerston's Fall an Instance of the Way They May Wreck a Career. Letter writing has long been considered an art, but there are often times when the writers of certain epistles wish that they had been a little more discreet before posting the same. A great many lives have been ruined and careers wrecked all because of one indiscreet letter, which it would have been better not to write. A notable case of this kind is the letter which Lord Palmerston, in 1851, when he was minister of foreign affairs for Great Britain, wrote to the prince-president of France, Louis Napoleon. It was when Louis executed his famous coup d'etat. Regiments of infantry, probably at his direction, swept the boulevards with rifle balls. The streets of Paris ran with blood and out of the crimson mist rose Louis Napoleon, no longer prince-president, but rather president for life, and soon after emperor of France. All Europe was horrified at this bloody leap to power, and no one more so than the queen of England. Lord Palmerston, however, admired the new emperor. Without consulting his official chief and much less the queen, Palmerston wrote a letter to the British ambassador in Paris expressing his approval of the coup d'etat. When the queen heard of this unauthorized action she was deeply indignant. She sent for the prime minister, and he soon afterward officially notified Lord Palmerston of his dismissal in the following words: "No other course is open to me than to ask her majesty to appoint a successor to you in the foreign office." All this on account of a letter. Lord Palmerston was one of the foremost men in the kingdom. But this one act of indiscretion was the end of his famous career. TRIED TO ROB THE MISER Fable That Explains Why the Lombardy Poplar Holds Its Branches Close to Trunk. Once there was a man who had worked early and late in the hope of getting rich. He never took a holiday nor spent any money, for he wanted to have a pot full of gold for his old age. Now, the more money he got the more unhappy he became, for he was always afraid that some one would rob him of his treasure. He hid it in his humble house, but he worried lest it might be taken during his absence. He buried it in the ground, but even that did not set his mind at rest. At last he hid it in the thick branches of a very tall tree. Even then the miser was afraid that some one would take it, so he decided at last to carry the pot of gold back to his home. Just there was where the trouble began. In his eagerness to hide the treasure he had not made himself quite sure as to which tree he had used for his money bank. He asked the spreading linden, the tall sycamore and the honest oak, but each tree denied knowing anything about the gold. The lombardy poplar, too, protested that it had not seen the pot of shining money. Just then its branches were drawn close to its trunk. The tree trembled, for it did not know what to make of such a queer feeling. It fell faint, and forgot the miser's treasure. That minute the pot of gold fell to the ground, and the lombardy poplar was forever disgraced for the falsehood it had told. To this day, if you will look, you will find that all lombardy poplar holds their branches close up to the trunks, but will never hide any more gold. Wine Made Without Granes Wine Make Without Grapes. "Champagne and claret will doubtless be produced in large quantities this year, despite the general failure of the French vineyards," says the London Chronicle. "The art of making wine without grapes is an ancient one. As far back as 1427 100 pipes of wine were seized in London because no trace of grape juice could be found in them. The citizens flocked to see the public staving in the pipes and the unusual watering of the streets which followed thereupon. Steele, in the Tatler, protested against the merchants, who "squeezed Bordeaux out of the sloe and drew champagne from the apple. And from an old-time cookery book we learn that the fruit from the bramble, being rightly mixed with good pipen or pearmain cyder dothe make good claret." Nowadays, French wine merchants produce high-sounding vintages by mashing figs in hot water and fermenting the liquor. And many other less innocent substitutes are employed." Fifty-six Years In One School. Prof. Zephaniiah Hopper, the oldest school teacher in Philadelphia, who is eighty-two years old, began his fifty-sixth year of teaching at the Central High school. He was greeted by the faculty and by another generation of students, as he marched into the assembly hall the other day. He is as active as ever, still walking every day to and from his home. The veteran professor was graduated in the first class that left the high school. After spending a few years at college and in special work, he went back to the school as a professor. He has remained there ever since. There are men all over the country who are now grandfathers, who remember Doctor Hopper as their teacher. It is estimated that he has taught fully fifteen thousand students during his long service. If you can't tell the truth don't tell anything. Claims to Have Found Black Rose. Has the long-sought flower been found at inst? It is reported that Dennis Tapple, a hopeless, cripple, of Savannah, who has eked out an ex- istence by making key rings, has been in Washington seeking a patent for a black rose that he has grown as the result of 15 years' experiments. Tapple says he has been offered $100,000 for the secret on the day that it is protected by patent, but he is awaiting further bids. ```markdown ``` An unscotarian Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education.

Tampa, Florida, has more cigar factories than any other city in the United States, and we became alive to the fact that Afro-Americans in various parts of the country smoke enough cigars of all grades to keep hundreds of cigar makers at work and the business of the WILLIAMS CIGAR COMPANY, and we have been successful. We have the largest Afro-American cigar factory known. The members of our race must not only be consumers, but producers. We are at present employing from 15 to 20 members of our race in our factory, and we are desirous of appointing agents in all parts of the country. Our agents can make easily from $10 to $15 daily. Will you help to maintain an institution which may become a great nucleus of good. We have a department in which we are awarding scores of boys and girls to be efficient teachers. Some of our graduates are earning from $10 to $25 per week in the larger factories. Will you help us in this great work of employing our youths? Our prices range from $2.30 per hundred to $6.00 per hundred. We can save you from one cent up on every cigar if you order direct from our factory. The extra amount you are paying our competitors for cigars enables them to employ hundreds of their boys and girls and to build for them palatial homes. We only ask for a portion of your purchase. We are trying to make this great problem along the lines of selfhelp. Give us a trial order. Send for our famous R. L. W. Cigars at $3.70 per hundred. Williams Cigar Company, J.

SIXTH ST ```markdown ``` The Penknife in History Nowadays we use penknives principally for sharpening pencils. There was a time, however, when they were used, primarily, for doing" something else. They used to be just what their name would indicate. They were "pen-knives." A pen knife used to be just what its name would indicate—a "pen-knife." The ancients used pens made of goose quills, just as our own forefathers did up to about a hundred years ago. The quill pen was made by hand, of course, and whenever the point of one would break or lose its elasticity it was up to the penman to put a new point or "nib" on the quill. This was done with a small knife, and hence we have the word that has outlived the quill pen a hundred years—"pen-knife." In the olden times the pen-knife was a necessary accessory of the writing desk. When the clasp-knife came in, the smaller sizes took their name from the little desk knife, while the bigger ones were called "jack-knives"—"jack" signifying anything masculine or big and strong.

Clever Scheme Davised by Offending Police Officer to Get Out of Difficulty. Prof. Scott Nearing of the University of Pennsylvania, delivered recently in Philadelphia a brilliant address upon the theme that "woman's function is not to bear many children, but to bear good children." A lady at a dinner in Locust street asked Prof. Nearing how he reconciled his lecture, which had aroused much interesting discussion in Philadelphia, with Mr. Roosevelt's "race suicide" theories. "The fact is," said Prof. Nearing, laughing, "these race suicide folks think sentimentally rather than analytically. They are deceived by sentiment, as a certain New York police commissioner once was. "This commissioner, a fine young man, found it his unpleasant duty to sit in judgment on a police officer who had got drunk. When the officer appeared to plead before the commissioner he had 14 children with him, ranging in years from 15 to 3 or 4-14 children, neatly if plainly clad, quite crowding the commissioner's office, and looking up in the policeman's face with anxious, affectionate eyes.
