BY MARGUERITE MARTYN. . ERHAPS you've noticed wé’ve been deluged with a wide diversity of opinions and) theories on the subject of their majesties, the children, this past winter. I’ve listened to as good poifits as those we demand of our best horses and dogs and cattle!” and “Down with; the home and mother-love. That’s all bosh.) Mothers love their children, not wisely. but too) well.” And now: “Back to the ! The( American home is disintegrating to the, apartment house, where babies are not allowed.” ' I confess complete bewilderment. As these} battle cries chase each other around and about’ me, especially as they are al] such eminent betas iors. There was Prof. Zueblin of Chicago Uni versity and Prof. Schmidt of Cornell and Pro Percival Chubb. ethical culture leader, and r al] the representative mothers of the country Each is responsible for o: away congress assembled. or more of the above quotations—I hardly know, which for which—and it’s such a serious sub~ ject, I do want to get straightened out. Of course, it is the child that is the bone of, contention. That much is clear. Perhaps, then, : it would be well to cons't the person most con-| cerned in these arguments. Not that one need hope for solution or conclusion of the subject, of course. Still, “wisdom out of the mouths of babes,” has been ordained, you know. At any rate, I have looked about for a repre- sentative baby, just a plain, ordinary, everyday sort of baby, from whom ! might get a review of the general situation. Needless to say, I found the bone of conten-( tion to be a lusty, lively, decidedly chubby “bone.” And this, according to a free translation, is what he had to say for himself: Like a Spartan Mother, Ready - to Tarn Baby Over to State WEEK: ago my mother was going to pack me up in a crate like they do rine) livestock and ship me off to a State in- 66 » stitution. She came home from the Ethical Cu]-

ture Society and she said Prof. Zueblin, a very scientific man, had told her the State knew more about taking care of babies than she did. That} there were State institutions more hygienic and more scientific and ‘more economic than our home. That there were specialists in child cy]- ture, while she was merely a mother. And so .m™y mother was going to be a Spartan mother, and give me over to the State, where the best - would be done-for me-and the future-of the spe- cies. “My mother traced my pedigree and looked me over and said: ‘You look alright to me, Buster, but it’s a fact there isn’t anything scientific about you, and so I guess you are not as well bred as the best horses and cattle.’ And what's more, my _ mother said I was not going to have any brothers an ae “2 ar eae ee oa: Sa age ~~ - a lg ee 5 2 a ¥ gS Ss i] Bs 0 a . = mee ye oe 2 ¥ FY a Len 3 . . ‘ae Pd a} § “_% 7 ‘ “ the A) gee © ae oe Snide ee ee .

The careful observer can fin@ characteristics in almost any ancient era 4 ar to the characteristics of certain classes or individuals of today. For instance, read what Dio’s Roman History says of Stoics: Muctanus made a great number of remark- ‘able statements to Vespasian (A.

He showed that the > refiners of Germany have to pay $7.50 a ton for beets. American refiners pay but $6 or $7. The ‘German advantage in cheaper labor, he believes, ‘will be offset by the American advantage in much eaper coal. He presented data to the effect “that-beet sugar and by-products in this country that-cost $37,353,000 in 1909 yielded the factories $48,122,000, or a profit of nearly $11,000,000 on a | eApitalization of $129,000,000, one-half of which he | charged is water. e * ¢ , sae presenting the free sugar bill, Mr. Under- a bd affirmed that it “marks the dividing line | between the two great political parties of this &" ae " more clearly than any other measure od or likely to be considered by the sent House.

In inclosing a contribution to the New York World for the Pulitzer Jefferson Monument, a New England correspondent calls Jefferson the greatest political philosopher who ever lived. Still from this New England standpoint, the fail- ure of Jefferson’s theories of government, of free government to civilize the world, is accounted for by the assumption that he was too much en- grossed with the rights of men to pay proper at-! tention to their duties. As the world grew more civilized, as in En- gland, defended by itg insular position, the an- cient customs of the free people of North Europe evolved into a defined idea, taking shape in common law. This idea was that every man is born a volunteer, with the right to do hig own duty, finding it for himself, doing it in his own way, with no interference from Lords Spiritual or Lords Temporal, except to check him if «his sense of duty so far failed that he himself began interfering with others in their equal right. Between the time of Chaucer and the time of Shakspeare in England, this evolution had abolished gerfdom. The great discovery had been made that no man was a mere part of the earth he was born on, owing the control of his body to a baron or of his soul to a Lord Bishop. During a hundred years before Chaucer’s time, every man who, if he did not have a lord, re- fused to take one, was an outlaw. After Shaks- peare’s time, the commoner who did not become a “Iiegeman” to some British magnate might fare worse in fortune than those who did, but he was no longer an outlaw. He might come to America, if he liked. When he did come, as a volunteer, bringing this idea with him, it made American civilization. This development was the evolution of civil- ization itself. As we build monuments to Jef- ferson, they are not evidence of hero-worship. They are monuments to the American volunteer idea of progress, of the world’s civilization of Manhood, Free and Responsible. The idea has not failed, because civilization has not failed. Civilization grows stronger daily as Manhood, Free and Responsible, grows stronger, both in freedom and in responsibility. —~——__oo_________ Installation of lights on the free bridge pre- paratory to the opening of the vessel season re- minds us that so far the costly structure, in- stead of being a municipal asset, is a liability as an obstruction to navigation. = = % wwe THE TROUBETSKOY SCULPTURES. Prince Paul Troubetskoy put eye-glasses on the statue of Prince Galitzin now in the Art Museum and one of the strongest, cleverest, most characteristic works of portrait sculpture ever exhibited in St. Louis. Of course, the eye-glasses are not there, but the sculptor, by a trick of optical illusion, created the effect in the eye of the spectator. The suggestion of a mocking smile on the face of Bernard Shaw is not a trick, but an exceedingly skillful touch by which a shade of expression is delicately limned on the rough clay. These expressive touches illustrate the deftness of Prince Troubetskoy’s art, but is only one of many charming and striking qualities of his work. Character, vivacity, breathing lifelike- ness illuminate the best of the sculptures in the exhibition. Grace, delicacy and naturalness are manifest in all of “his work, which is the more wonderful in that much of it is accom- plished with a few strokes and none hag the detailed polish of most sculpture. Nothing finer in character and naturalness can be conceived than his Segantini which, by the way, might wel] be added to our permanent collection. His treat. ment of the modern woman and her dress is ex- quisite. The spirit of modernity is vividly ex- pressed by Prince Paul. The exhibition is a revalation of modern sculp- ture which no lover of art should miss. _—_— —_ -~_ /S

SYSTEMATIC DISASTER. Oklahoma uses exactly the right English in tel- egraphing the Post-Dispatch the final summary of deaths in the mine of the San Bois Coal Co. “The disaster of Wednesday left 65 widows and 250 fatherless children,” is the summary from Oklahoma, where they know the difference be- tween “accident” and “disaster.” series of similar disasters, which no one now pretends are accidental, Oklahoma has an oppor- tunity to decide what ought to be done when it has under its own jurisdiction a typical disaster in which there is nothing accidental. System runs throughout the series. In Pennsyl- vania, Ohio, West Virginia, Illinois, Tennessee or Oklahoma, the same effects are always shown op- erating in the same causes, as widows and orphans are counted. It is systematic disaster, which calls for systematic prevention.

MOTHERS AND THE BALLOT. Mrs. Frederick Schoff of Philadelphia, pres- ident of the National Mothers’ Congress, ex- pressed her view of equal suffrage when she said that women have assumed a fair share of respon- sibility in caring for their children and the com- fort of husband and family. Of 40 women now in St. Louis in attendance on the Congress, less than half admitted that they favor equal suf- frage. Thirty-four of the officers of the National and of the State organizations are ascertained to have 138 children, or an average of more than four each, and eight of them have 42 grand- children. It might be said of the grandmothers and the more elderly mothers that they are still under the influence of the old-fashioned ideas of a former generation and have not been touched by the new woman aspirations of this time. However, women who are representative in a peculiar sense compose the membership of the

organization. If votes for women are needed to As this is only one of an always lengthening

multiply safeguards over the child and conserve | the general interests of the home, these women more than others ought to be appreciative of the need. But their indifference as a whole to ballot privileges is marked. Their attitude is further confirmation of the view that the first task of the advocates of woman suffrage is to convert the women themselves. When a majority of women demand the ballot, they will get it, \=_ rr

BRING THE FACTORY TO ST. LOUIS. The principle upon which Mayor Kreismann vetoed the Diesel Engine Co. bill and was sus- tained by the votes of four councilmen out of 12 is sound. There should be compensation for grants of city property. When grants are made in consideration of certain advantages the or- dinance should state the terms of the grant, or at least provide for a guarantee that the pur- poses for which the grant is made shall be car- ried out. But there is practical agreement that the city should grant the vacation of the streets and alleys sought by the Diesel Engine Co. The wisdom of such a concession in return for a great plant is manifest. The way out is clear. Either a new bill with a guarantee clause should be passed or the Council should reconsider, amend and pass the late bill. Or a reasonable bond for the building of the factory should be arranged and the late bill: reconsidered and passed. There should be no difficulty in arriving at a fair settlement. The Diesel Engine Co. plant must be built in St. Louis. dip. hin

Beet sugar ; first reached 60 per cent of the world’s total sup- ply as far back as 1888-89 and has exceeded the 50 per cent figure in many years since. A, di di - Fr VOTES FOR WOMEN. From the Pittsburg Leader, Rev. Anna Shaw has said, with stern voice, that if men, and especially--congressmen,. con- tinue to treat the equal franchise women as they have, the sisters will adopt the tactics of their Lritish colleagues. Jane Addams agrees with her. If they rest upon the mere demand for franchise they will nevey get the ballot. They may be sure of that, and the threat seems to show that they realize it.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch. Dr. Shaw declares that if any more congressmen indulge in supercilious smiles, the suffragists will go out and smash store windows. That will, of course, cure the tendency to supercillous smiles on the part of those whose windows are smashed. From the Louisville Post. At the hearing given in Trenton, N. J., and again in Albany, N. Y., to the advocates and the opponents of women’s /jsuffrage, Miss Minnie Bronson denied that the laws on our statute books are unjust to wage-earning women or that her only redress is in the ballot. “A study of the laws of the various states,” she says, “will show that any other conclusions are as fallacious as the premise is untrue.’ From the Philadelphia Inquirer. The attitude assumed by members of the Womans’ Suffrage Society at a recent banquet in this city is not such as is calculated to earn them the support of the general public in their struggle for equal rights. During the course of this banquet, a member of the society proposed that “‘the women of this counry express sym- pathy and support of Mrs. Pankhurst and other English suffragists who are now in prison.” The suggestion was warmly applauded. From the Boston Herald. Our American women suffragists seriously pre- judice their cause with our people by giving the apostles of violence apd lawlessness from among their English sisters the prominence which they have given them upon their platforms here dur- ing the last year. A daughter of Mrs. Pankhurst is reported as developing before a great woman suffrage audience the superiority of hammers to stones for smashing windows “for the cause.”

. HONEST PRIMARIES. From a letter in the Piedmont (Mo.) Banner by O. L. Munger, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant-Governor: “I maintain that the people are entitled to honest and economic administration of their business from school director to president and that cannot be attained without honest methods of securing nominations and elections. “Any man who will accept wrong or criminal methods of securing nominations and elections to office, will not prove true to the people when entrusted to public office and besides, such con- duct destroys the confidence in the party and renders its purposes futile. “The purpose of government, as I see it, under a democratic administration of political economy, is not alone to dig canals, extend railroads, es- tablish banks and spread our national domain, but the chief aim is to so frame our laws that the greatest degree of progress and happiness can be attained by the greatest number of our citizens, for individual or national thrift secured at the expense of the equity must come back to curse usS,

BRITISH TRIBUTE TO CARTOONIST.MINOBR. From the London Observer. With its unerring sense for the “thing that takes the eye,” our old friend, Public Opinion, decorates its front page this week with one of the brightest American cartoons of the day. It represents Liberty as a hen watching her chicks, and while four others bear the names of Turkey, Portugal, Persia and Mexico, of the new arrival the prenatal remark is: ‘T didn’t ex- pect that China egg to hatch.” The humor of the thing lies in the startled expression the artist has given to the victorious chick, and it certainly seems the most startled member of the group,

As a reader of many years standing of your pa- per, I will venture to express myself upon your attitude in the Taft-Roosevelt fight. My under- standing of the policy of your paper is that it is independent, and if true, I am unable to “square” your treatment of this fight with that policy. I am free to confess, that if you say you are a Democratic paper, I can readily understand your hostility to the Colonel at this time. Now as to the prominence you give what you are pleased to call the “Broken Pledge,” it seems to me that you are overworking this. stand that matter by I am sure we all under- this time and this space might now with profit to your readers be used for something else. seem to be exercised more as to the form this candidacy appeals to you than the s of it.

It is well for politicians to remember ter the convention with election day, and if the “steang roller” is ether he that af- its nomination comes used as vigorously at a few more district conventions as it was in the Third District, it will make little difference whom the party candidate is. All of this convinces me that this is a fight of “big busi- ness” against the people. Roosevelt stands for those things the people are demanding—conservation of resources, natural and human, for the amelioration of the condition of the laboring classes, the strict regulation of child labor, and, for the Government control of “Big Business.” Churches That Do Good Work.

The Tivoli Hotel is at least an argument for sovernment ownership of hotels. If the biscuits are cold, one has only to call up Col, Wilson, the Chief of Subsistence on the Canal Zone. The ‘Colonel promptly responds with troops, and the troops, if necessary, will- shoot the cook. Sitting down to breakfast at the Tivoli Hotel, the guest has behind any reasonable request for Special service the army and navy. The army and navy will support him in any just conten- tion as to how his eggs should be cooked, or whether his toast is really warm. It is a tre- mendous satisfaction to eat under such circum- Stances. One’s humor is sweet, and this, says Horace Fletcher, is the first requisite to the relish and digestiorm of food. One cannot help feeling that even though some powerful gov- ernment supported the waiter in any slight in- attention, the chances are that our army and navy would prevail in the end. If there were Government hotels like the Tivol! in the principle cities of the United States, we Should have to have troops to keep applicants In line, A great traveler in the world sat on the front porch of the Tivoli a few days ago. “This ig the most enjoyable hotel on earth,” he said. “If you kick here, you get action—mil- itary action!”

The Missourian, left to his own de- vices, calls the name of his State Miz-zoo-ry, or, if he is an old-timer, he may say Miz-zou-rah. But Mis-soo-ri, never! There are three pronunciations in use. Some, generally book-trained, claim the correctness of Mis-soo-ri, or Mis-soo-ree, with the harsh sound of “s,” as in sing. Others adhere to Mis-sou-rah, while the masses say Miz-zou-ry, Miz-zou-ry, which is that of the best usage, No doubt may be .entertained as to the pronuncia- tion used by the great majority of the most in- telligent people of the State, particularly the native Missourians. This pronunciation {fs “Miz- zoo-ry.” The advocates of this prepuncetes while conceding that analogy and the Indian and French custom support their contention, rest mainly on the ground that pronunciation is not fixed arbitrarily by text-book and dictionary, but is decided by usage and the habit of the mafjtrity of the intelligent people. Those who decide for Miz-zou-rah take similar view, but are badly handicapped because they are In a minority and there is no philological ground for “making the final syllable “ah.” Either of these pronuncia- tions has history and euphony to support it. The third pronunciation, that which was defeated in the Missouri legislature, is néwfangled and harsh, but has the support of the dictionaries. The New Englander has declared for it, and hence it is in the books. Webster and Worcester indorse it, and some people think that settles it. But dic- tlonaries are not infallible. In the long run th people fix their own pronunciation, and they wil not soon give their approval to a pronunciation so manifestly incorrect, unpleasant and unnatural as the hissing “Mis-soo-ri.” There is nothing in the name of this imperfal State to cause a hiss. —Walter Williams.

First amon the meats is pork. It ought to be from the young pig. With a sharp knife, the pork should be cut into ribbons or dominoes of lean meat. about two inches long, a half-inch wide and a quarter-inch thick. The second and third mem- bers of the triad are the liver and gizzard of chicken. The former should be broken into ama pieces, and the latter sliced and scored on the edges. so that as the heat expands the tissue. the pieces separate like the spokes of a wheel, This use of the liver and gizzard its based upon their hygienic value, the one containing cholin and cholesterin, and the other, ingluvin. all three being capital digestive ferments, The best vege- table sextet consists of onion, celery, bambos-tin. tree-mushrooms, bean-sprouts and water-chest- nuts. The three spices are see-yao (soy sauce), fresh ginger-root and red pepper. The vegetabies are carefully washed, drain and cut fine, each being reduced to some special shape that sery asa distinguishing mark.

ROOSEVELT AND TAFT | DEFEND THEMSELVES

President's Speeches in New England and the Colonel’s Carnegie Hall Address in New York the Principal Political Events of the Week—Bryan Is Proposed as a Candidate — Battle for Delegates Progresses, La Follette Win- ning in North Dakota.

URING the past week the campaign for delegates to the National con- ventions has not effected a marked change in the relative standing of the candidates. Roosevelt has made slight gains in Missouri, where the gjuation is complicated, but lost North Dakota to La Fol- lette. Taft controls Kansas apparently. Clark won in Kansas, also. Taft factions will contest Missouri district delegations and complicate the we repeat, is a question which each State must determine for itself. The President has nothing to do with it. Chicago Journal: Judged by‘ his speech, Mr. Roosevelt is making his appeal for nomination on one plank, “recall of court decisions in certain cases.” Not a word about the tariff. Chicago Evening Post: Coil. Roosevelt sets forth with perfect clearness hig whole platform. The people should read his words, so as to know for themselves just where he stands. They will then be qualified to say, before the primaries and be- ve

next Tuesday, and in Ohio May 21 (where 11 candidates are announced), and in Massachusetts ' where Roosevelt, Taft and Gov. Foss filed in the order named. The principal event of the week, provoking much comment, was Roosevelt’s New York speech Wednesday. Taft’s New England speech-making tour is said to have strengthened him. His speeches were in the main attacks upon the re- call of judges. The most important pronounce- ments were contained in his Concord, N. H., speech, where he said. “I believe in popular government ordered by constitution and by law. The people who vote are only one-fourth of the people and they are in that sense representative of the people and if we are going to trust that quarter with power over all the people, then they have to be limited by constitutional restriction and they are limited by constitutional restriction, under our constitu- tion. I know enough about the common sense of the American people to know that they will never give up the fonstitution, and they are not going to be honeyfugled out of it, by being told that they are fit to interpret nice questions of law, just as well or better than judges. Congressman McKinley, campaign manager for Taft, expressed his fear that if Roosevelt were defeated at Chicago his followers would bolt the convention. ROOSEVELT’S SPEECH. New York World: The Carnegie Hall speech is a study in progressive demagogy. Having be- gun with the Columbus speech, Mr. Roosevelt must keep the game for the benefit of his own political fortunes, He is seeking to debauch public opinion, he is seeking to inflame passion and appeal to ignorance and hatred, in order to win delegates to the Republican National Con- vention. But he personally does not belleve one word of his nonsense that he uttered at Carnegie Hall last night. New York Sun: We congratulate the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt on having delivered last evening, under circumstances congenial to his innate predilections, the most remarkable speech of his life. It was great as Theodore Roosevelt is great. It was a ringing, impassioned, adroitly conceived, eloquently and vehemently phrased utterance. It deserves a conspicuous place in the school readers as a magnificent illustration of that which an orator can do when he believes in himself thoroughly, and absolutely misunder- stands the intelligence of his audience. Kansas City Star: Mr. Roosevelt's address in Carnegie Hall, New York, is likely to rank with such classics as Washington's farewell address, the first inaugural address of Jefferson, Web- ster’s reply to Hayne, and the inaugural ad- dresses of Lincoln. No more effective presenta- tion of the fundamental basis of confidence in popular rule has ever been made. Boston Advertiser: The speech, with its apol- ogies and its attempts at modification, shows that Col. Roosevelt realizes that he made a serious political blunder in his Columbus speech. But even with its modifications, it shows that he does not yet understand how gtoss and unpardon- able his blunder was. Boston Post: Col. Roosevelt cleverly marshaled instances in support of his assertion that the people—that is the majority—do not always rule, even in matters of greatest importance to them- selves. It versed the growing impatience of the public with grabbers of coal and water powers, with drugs; with trusts, and monopolies of the oppressive kind and with the old style boss-rid- den conventions, now going to their death. As touching what was not new it was essentially true and well put. New York Times: Mr. Roosevelt is drawing in his horns. He stands by his Columbus speech, “oe says, but he is evidently not a little alarmed at the effect it produced upon the country. So, in his Carnegie Hall talk he sharply limits the application of his doctrines. Anybody who has carefully reade the Colonel’s Carnegie Hall ut- terance or who listened to it with attention must have observed several passages in which he ut- terly misstetes President Taft's position and ascribes to him beliefs and doctrines he never entertained. But that will surprise no one. It is notorious that in any controversy in which he is deeply interegted ,Mr. Roosevelt is in- capable of accurate statement. Philadelphia Inquirer: Where the shoe really pinches is just here. Col, Roosevelt would have a constitution made the continual plaything of politics; would throw away all safeguards; would have the people disregard all restrictions, all law, all constitutional requirements and engage in a go-as-you-please contest at the polls every time a court passed upon the constitutionality of a law. Philadciphia Press: The issue is not whether *he people shall rule or not, but how they shall @ule. Shall they rule under a system which re- auires care, consideration, forethought and sta- ’ bility or whall the people rule at special elec- Hons through special votes whose action and etfect no one can predict or foretell? whicago Tribume: Col. Roosevelt's Carnegie ffubi speech does much to clear the air and make the line of demarcation clear, All Americana, teadere and followers alike, must take their places on one side or the other. The great public serv- ice corporations, the beneficiaries of exorbitant tariffs, the high financiers, and their smal) regu- lar army of mercenaries in politics are all oppos- ing the progressive program not because they war injustice, but justice. t Whether the states wr the recall (with or without 1 of and the recall of decisions, peg * we ° referendum, y ng eats, the proverbial seven wise men. There is to be a conference with them and with the commissary department represented by Perkins and Hanna, and with the manager of what was thought would be a campaign. And there is perturbation where hitherto there has been only aberration. Chicago Record Herald: Mr. Roosevelt has re- stated in The Outlook with force and clearness his well-known position on the trusts and the proper trust policy of the national government. He is against futile trust -regulations by law- suits, against mere negation and destruction, against vague and sweeping prohibitions of busi- ness agreements. He demands a plain, certain, reasonable anti-monopoly act, and favors a com- mission that should do for the industrial world what the commerce commission is doing, or try- ing to do, for the world of transportation. It is fortunate that there is no material difference between the Roosevelt program and the Taft pro- gram. ‘ New York Post: One by one the Seven little Governors are finding themselves alone on the burning deck. The Michigan Legislature, called in special session by Gov. Osborn to pass a Presi- dential primary bill, has refused to adopt the clause giving such a@ measure immediate effect. As without such a provision April primaries are an impossibilitiy, the whole question is virtually shelved, so far, at least, as this year’s campaign is concerned. TAFT’S TOUR. Indianapolis Sun: In his speech before the Massachusetts Legislature Monday President Taft labored hard to show, in his attack on the re- call proposition, that it is unsafe to leave the settlement of any question to the popular expres- sion of the people. The fear of “mob rule,” the term by which the President once described the popular will, has been one of Mr. Taft's hobbies throughout his public career, Boston Globe: The salary of the President of the United States is $75,000 a year, with $25,000 thrown in for traveling expenses, And he earns the money. If you don't believe it fo''’ow Mr. Taft in Boston this St. Patrick's day while he breakfasts, shakes hands, reviews a parade, lunches, talks to advertising men, addresses members of the Legislature, eats three dinners and delivers a trio of postprandial speeches. Indianapolis Star: Those who value the dignity of the Presidential office could wish that Mr. Taft would not go on electioneering tours. There are plenty of men to speak for him, Kansas City Times: Mr. Taft's profound dis- trust of the judiciary is more remarkable than his distrust of the people. The President’s fear of the people is not surprising, considering the way he was brought up. Neither Mr. Roosevelt, Chief Justice White nor the late Mr. Justice Har- lan has ever given such a “slam” to the courts as Mr. Taft gives in “defending” courts, GROQMING BRYAN AGAIN. San Francisco Call: He reckons ill in Demo- cratic politics who leaves Mr. Bryan out of the count, and in fact the Nebraska man fills the important position of the unknown quantity af- fecting the equation on that side of the fence. Early in the proceedings Mr. Bryan was supposed to favor Woodrow Wilson, but of late he has been

FROM ‘TH be JUST WAITING —— ?P keeping so quiet that curious people have even suspected him of being himself a candidate, Mr. Bryan still has a great following in his party, and as a platform orator appears to be as popu- lar and perhaps more effective than ever. Some time ago he openly criticised Champ Clark and said he had been tried and found wanting as a leader. But recently he has nothing to say against Clark. He is known to be opposed to Harmon and Underwood, and possibly his oppost- tion will be sufficient to defeat either of those candidates. Hutchinson News: It is highly significant that the “progressives” are now beginning to groom Bryan for a fourth trial as a candidate for the Presidency. This is a confession that neither Wilson nor Roosevelt is likely to make a for. midable showing. Wilson has lost ground stead- ily both tn the East and in the West. And Roose- velt is raving in bitter disappointment because the “straw vote”: fakers are short-sighted en- thusiasts who persuaded him to throw his hat into the ring are not making good their promises, The Commoner: When, some months ago, The ~ if

THE FATNESS OF HEALTH | Samose Fills Out the Curves and Makes Thin People Fat. If you are thin, your health not what it should be. If you are losing weight steadily, there is something wrong that should be at- tended to at once. You cannot be healthy and strong if you are thin. Perfect health and good, solid beautiful flesh can only come’ through the use of Samose, the re- markable flesh-forming food. Samose is not a drug or a stimnu- lant: it is a scientific flesh-forming food that restores thin people to a normal condition of good healthy flesh. ‘ There are thousands of unhappy, nervous thin people who would’ look and feel entirely different if they were only fat and plump. Let them use Samose and they will soon no- tice remarkable results. These statements are confirmed by Wolff-Wilson Drug Co. who offer to refund the money to anyone buy- ing and using Samose who does not gain in weight as promised. .The risk is all theirs. The thin and scrawny can buy Samose at Wolff- is

SPOKANE, Wash., March 23.—Delvers into the early history of the Northwest faim they have indubitable evidence that the “Houn’ Dawg’’ song of the Ozarks was heard by Hernando Cortez, the conqueror .of Mexico, when he reached the Oregon country on a plun- dering tour, 40 years after the discov- ery of the Western Continent. The song in Chinook, the universal language of the northern Indians, follows: Quanisum nika chako copa tokn, Tenas-man chukin nika comox conaway kah; Cultus copa nika spose yaka mo- witch comox, Klaska delate kopet chukin nika comox conaway kah. ‘There are several Indian versions, which show traces of apparent French origin,” said R. B. Milroy, chairman ‘of the Republican Central Committee of Yakima County, Wash., ‘but I do not think that the song was brought into the Northwest by the early French priests. The versions containing French words simply show the result of the mingling of tongues in the early days. “The Chinook Indians were once the great trading tribe of the Northwest, and they came into contact with the voyagers whom the early French settle- ments of Eastern Canada sent out to- ward the Pacific slope and intermoun- tain country, as well as with the fac- tors and men of the Hudson’s Bay com- pany.’”’ A. J. Splawn, Mayor of North Yakima, who has lived in Central Washington since 1861 and has been friend and ad- visor of the Indians there for half a century, says that while he greatly ad- mires Champ Clark, he thinks it only just that the red man of the Northwest be given credit, as he is satisfied the “Houn’ Dawg” song is of Indian origin.

NEW YORK, March 23.—The stately Countess of Warwick, the “Noble So- clalNst,” sailed unexpectedly on the Olympic today at noon. .Her room was No. 84 on C deck. Her traveling com- panion, Mrs. A. E. Wright, who ar- r.ved at the skip first, cheerfuliy told irauirers that they must be mistaken about the Countess sailing. Twenty minutes before the leaving hour the English ‘‘Marvel of Youth,” girlish in her beauty, yet a grand- mother, appeared with a young man from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The Countess, tall and straight, was swathed in furs, veils and a long coat. She was visibly agitated about some- thing. Her bosom heaved with emotion and she ignored the interviewers. Her companion said quickly that the Countess would talk a little’ later. Eight minutes before the sailing the young -man came out and displayed, scribbled in pencil on a sheet of paper, the ‘words: “Important business calls me to Hn- giand.. Hope to return to the States very soon. L. G. W.” It has been said for the critics that the lecture tour of the English noble- woman has not proved the success that was anticipated. Lady Warwick ar- rived on the Mauretania Feb. 10, and her tour from coast to coast, includ- Ing Canada, was to have lasted six weeks. Her manager, Lee Keedick of 149 Nas- sau street, who was to have taken one- third of the proceeds, and who gave out that he had insured the life of the Countess for $100,000, said it was sick- ness in her family that was calling her

The ‘action of othine is really re- markable, for when applied at night, many of the freckles disappear en- tirely by morning, and the rest have begun to fade. An ounce is usually all that is needed, even for the worst ease. a Be sure to ask Wolff-Wilson Drug Co. for the double-strength othine, as this is sold under a guarantee of

CX QLAS SSH 2A OH ‘CHICAGO, March 23.—O. L. Dickeson, Who, at 34 years, is the youngest rail- road president in the country, traces his first real opportunity in the railroad world to a newspaper want ad, and to hard and persistent work after he gained the opportunity. "He was born in Ottumwa, Io., and noved to Chicago when 16 years old. He had the average common school edu- Gation possessed by boys of that age who grow up in good Western towns, and, after reaching Chicago, he used money he had earned himself to study stenography. After trying a couple of positions, and finding they promised no fiture, he inserted the following adver- sement: STENOGRAPHER—Position by a young man; expert stenographer; railroad work preferred. Lost Cars Gave Him Chance. In a few days he was asked to call at the offices of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy RaWroad, and when he left the Burlington 15 years later, at the age of a1, he veas assistant to the president. . His first promotion came a few days r he began work as a stenographer oad he was given charge of the car- a departmént.

RANGE FORBIDS tution in France since King Louis XIV ' discévered what a fine revenue getter it was. It had flourished before that time, but always as a private enterprise. Bul Louis, with the enormous expenditures of his various households, to say noth- ing of ordinary public needs of money, - assimilated the lottery, more or less be- - nevolently. The ministers of Louis were hard pushed for funds when the suggestion to appropriate the lottery came. It was ‘an age of gambling. Everybody from ‘the Grand Seigneur to the sans-culotte ' was eager to wager what he had in an _ effort to increase his store. So, along in the year 1700, the State organized a grand lottery, selling 440,000 tickets, which, at $9.20 each, brought in more ‘than $4,000,000, a more stupendous sum in those days than it is now. The tick- lets were divided into 8 lots, with a _ winning ticket in each lot, which prom- \ised a fortune to the holder. Eatablished by Royal Proclamation. The plan was announced in a proc- lamation, which said: ‘His Majesty, {having remarked the natural inclina- tion of the greater part of his sub- ijects to invest their money in lottery tchances and desiring to provide for them ‘ean agreeable and convenient manner to ‘obtain .a considerable and certain rev- fenue for the rest of their lives, and seven to enrich their families, by risking sums so small that their loss would ‘cause no great disaster, has decided it tadvisable to establish a royal lottery of 100,000,000 lire.”’ a In the following years as the king’s expenses increased, the number of lots ‘was reduced and the $4,000,000 first taken ‘in came to be only a drop of water in fan ocean. Louis XV found this revenue producing means ready to hand and used jt for all it was worth. Public and pri- vate lotteries sprang up everywhere and they proved a severe drain on the purses pf the poorer classes, because the small @rices of tickets and the great rewards to winners made this form of gambling especially attractive to them. | The lottery of 1770 was such an enor- mous affair as to prove a lasting scandal. However, it did not shock the country to the point of suppression and tickets rontinue to be sold under empire and under Restoration. In that period of French history the public treasury, to fr nothing of private treasuries, drew ee ee * eee Meow

aw rere) mething like $10,000,000 a vear from the eckets. of the people, over what was aid our in prizes and the cost of ad- Eititering the lottery. ; Tt was not until 1836 that govenmental @ispleasure was invoked against this gambling system. Flagrant abuses of he lottery of that year, which came to be called “‘the gold brick lottery,” causea the enactment of a law forbidding lot- teries except for charitable purposes. And now even this has been forbidden. _Lottery gambling became a passion Fhich has endured until the present. of ate years the institution has not pro- foked the same fever of gambling of Which" history bears witness. But even ret there is much of the old passion ft. Men have been known to hasten buy a ticket bearing the numbers of an auto license tag they have seen un- fer certain circumstances, or for an- ather number because they have heard ¢ passerby pronounce it aloud. ; Never Forgot Number Quest, ; There is a story of a man who Betened to a preacher denouncing the lottery from the pulpit and railing at a stupidity of those who put their ionfidence in such or such a number. When the sermon was over the man begged the preacher to repeat the num- Bers as he wished to buy them. thinking ey should prove lucky because pro- ounced in a church.

Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, 1911, by Press Pub. Co. (New York World.) PARIS, March 23.—What promises to be a scientific discovery of the highest Special importance in aviation is now being in- vestigated by the French military au-| thorities. The significance of the new theory is such that aeroplame construc- tion will undergo very considerable al- teration. Pending the investigation, the War Ministry has issued orders to all mili- tary aviators forbidding them to make flights with monoplanes until further instructions. This movement follows upon an official investigation of the ac- cident in which Lieut. Seveille lost his life while flying at Pau 10 days ago. Examination of the wrecked machine, as well as testimony of eye-witnesses, proved that the wing of Seveille’s mono- plane broke downward instead of up- ward, showing that the unequal pressure of air came from above instead of from underneath, as has been hitherto sup- posed was the case in fatal accidents. Experiments have now corroborated the theory that a downward dip of a monoplane throws a greatly increased air pressure upon the upper eurface of the wing. Heretofore the main strength of the wire stays has been devoted to preventing the wing buckling. from pressure on the under surface, while no stays have been thought necessary to counteract pressure from above. The official commission believes many accidents have been due to insufficient protection from air pressure on the up- per surface of the wings, and this is now being remedied in all army aero- planes. Vedrines, the celebrated aviator, who was defeated last Sunday for Deputy, has become a popular hero of the dis- trict which he desired to répresent in the French Parliament. Riots followed the anndéuncement of the result. which friends of the aviator declare was due to fraud. Vedrines says he intends to contest the election, and will become a candidate in the adjoining district. CAR IS WRECKED IN EXTRA FARE BATTLE Los Angeles Company Resorts to Extreme Measure After Bouncers Are Worsted. LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 23.— Threats of legal proceedings were the aftermath of a three-hour battle last night between Los Angeles Street Raill- way employes and 2 men residents of Eagle Rock, a recently annexed suburb who refused to pay a 10-cent fare. A car was disabled, traffic suspended and police reserves called out. Mrs. E. T. Humphrey, a passenger, was seri- ously injured. But the militant men passengers held their ground and a supper was served to them on the stalled car by Mrs. George H. Dunkum, a sym- pathizer. The battle began when the conductor demanded an extra fare at the old city limits. The car was halted and men sent out by the company fafled to oust the passengers. Officials of the railway company ordered the car disabled and sent a wrecking crew out to tow it into | i a barn. BOYD’S SPRING OPENING IN THE NEW QUARTERS A carload and a half of fancy shirts surely ought to give a man plenty of scope for his choice, mo matter how fas- tidious a dresser he might be. This is the amount of space required to carry the consignment of spring ‘‘made-up” shirts for the opening and dedication tomorrow morning of the T. B. Boyd Furnishing Goods Co.’s new quarters, southeast corner of Olive and _ Sixth streets. At 8 o’clock the doors will open for a reception to the general public, lasting all that day and Tuesday. The tmmense new stock will be framed, but not lost, among the beautiful and artistic decora- tions of spring flowers, and 6000 carna- tions will be given away. In the evening at 7 o’clock a banqnet will be tendered to the salesmen at Lippe’s restaurant, at which DB. H. Rich- ardson, vice-president of the company, will be toastmaster. evening the women employes will be en- tertained at a theater party at the Olympic. The grand opening Monday morning marks the third time in the last five vears that the company has had to double its space to take care of the in- crease in business. The concern was founded in 1876 by Wilson Bros. of Chicago, and in 1879 became Wilson Bros. & Boyd. In 1881 Boyd bought out his partmers and the title was changed to T. B. Boyd & Co. Another proof of the enormous in- crease in the amount of business done by this company hooks show that the sales in 1876 aggre- gated $65,000, as against $525,000 for 1911. One of the features of the new store of which the officers are especially proud is the daylight clothing depart- ment. This consists of 4000 square feet of daylight selling space on a clothing gallery on the first floor. — _ 600 KILLED IN A BATTLE Paraguay Rebels Win and Presi- dent Pena Flees.

REFORM CALENDAR Leap Year’s Extra Gey to Sand- wich Between June and July and Be General Holiday. LONDON, March 23.—The text of a scheme for a calendar reform has been published here. It has been offered as ieee basis for a conference upon the sub-

fort. asm. ue plan is to isolate New Year’s day, giving it to no week and no month. This would cut the number of days in the normal year to 364. Then it is proposed to divide the year into four quarters of 91 days each. Thus Easter would al- ways fall on April 12 and Christmas would always be on a Wednesday. The extra day of leap year would be inserted between June 31 and July 1. It would always be a general holiday, just as New Years, and would belong to no week or month.

If your meals don’t fit comfortably, or you fee] bloated after eating and you believe it is the food which fills you; if.what little you eat lies like a lump of lead on your stomach; if there is difficulty in breathing after eating, Svlaptitione of sour, undigested food and acid, heartburn, brash or a belching of gas, you ean make up your mind that you need something to stop food fermentation and cure Indigestion. To make every bite of food you eat aid in the nourishment and strength of your body, you must rid your Stomach of poisons, excessive acid and stomach gas which sours your en- tire meal—interferes with digestion and causes so many sufferers of Dys- pepsia, Sick Headache, Biliousness, Constipation, Griping, etc. Your case is no different—you are a stomach sufferer,-though you may

call it by some other name; your rea] and only trouble is that which you eat does not digest, but quickly fer- ments and sours, producing almost an unhealthy condition. A case of Pape’s Diapepsin will cost fifty cents at any Pharmacy here, and will convinee any stomach suffer- er five minutes after taking a single dose—that Fermentation and Sour Stomach is causing the misery of In-| digestion. No matter if you call your trouble Catarrh of the Stomach, ‘Nervousness or Gastritis, or by any other name— always remember that a certain cure is waiting at any drug store the mo ment you decide ‘to begin its use. Pape’s Diapepsin will regulate any out-of-order Stomach within five min utes, and digest promptly, without any fuss or discomfort all of aav kind of food you eat.—ADV.

Sewing Mach. Co. re and has met more or less enthusi- ITALIAN SOLDIERS IN A PANIC WHER ‘WOMAN LEADS FOL Modern Deborah, With Stick of Wood, Takes Turks Into In- vaders’ Trenches.

CRIMSON HAND GUIDON

When Her Own Wound Dries, Dying Enemies Give Fresh Supply of. Blood.

=. —E FEZ SAVES WRITERS FROM ARAB RIFLES + that all foreign correspond- LONDON HE Turkish ents should wear a fez instead of any form of Western headgear. The reason is that the Arabs, be- ing unaccustomed to the presence of Europeans, are unable to dis- tinguish between them, and have the pleasant habit of regarding any stranger as an Italian, and of tak- ing pot-shots at him accordingly.

TRIPOLI, March %.—The Italian sol- diers shake their heads and cross them- selves when their defeat at Gargaresh where a woman led a squad of fanatics, only a few hundred strong, and drove a from large force of Italian regulars breast-high trenches, is mentioned. The Italian idea of a woman does not 1 comprehend a Deborah who, armed with a stick of olive wood, will lead men into the face of seemingly certain death “Dy shaking her red-stained hand as a guid- on, and when the flood from her own wound dries, thrusts her hand so deey in a pool of that from dying enemies that her flowing sleeves are stained crimson. The Italians did not understand the new note when the attackers, with their white draperies tossing and fluttering, and their voices hoarsely shouting war cries, came on like a tidal wave that broke over the trenches. The defend- ers sensed the vague something in the air and hesitated, and were lost. Those who retained their power of ob- servation saw at the head of the troop- ing desert warriors a figure, cloaked and hooded in russet brown, who car- ried no weapon but a staff, and whose voice rang high and shrill: above the shouts and rattling rifle fire. The face a brown as to be almost black. The eyebrows met in a savage frown over keen, glittering eyes; the jaw was square and heavy, the nose short and straight with widely distended nostrils, and a collar of panther’s teeth glis- tened against the broad brown bosom. With a voice like the scream of an angry stallion this figure alternately menaced and exhorted the Arabs, and shrieked out terrible curses against the Italians. The desert men swept up and over the earthworks, and their fearless leader leaping into the trenches, _ stooped, plunged an arm elbow deep in blood, and then stood, with a dripping right hand flung upwards, a statue of the Goddess of African Battle. It was inside the first trench that this Soudanese nemesis thus renewed the in- spiration she had gained from a wound caused by a fragment of a shell that struck her before the -charge had begun. But that wound and its gory souvenir only inspired the woman lead- er to greater daring. The Italians were confident behind their well made, well provisioned trenches, four lines of breastworks high enough to permit men to almost stand as they fired their Maxims or operated cannon against the poorer armed force. When the alarm came from the firing of a scouting party engaged by an Arab- Turkish force, the men from Italy leis- urely picked up their guns for ‘‘the daily exercise.’’ as it is called: The en- gagement spread along the full line of breastworks and then came the sud- den rush of 150 men against the right flank with a strange new note in the battle cry. Through the four trenches this small force under Izak Bey plowed its way and following and widening the breach came more Arabs and Turks, and when the battle was over the terror-stricken and wondering Italians were huddled in their main camp praying that the at- tack had ceased and hundreds of their comrades lay slain on the battleground and the victors were richer by many small arms and tons of stores and am- munition. From the Arab camp come stories of how the Soudanese Deborah walked through the camps at Gardens of tlhe Children of Adhem shrilly chanting a warning for cowards to stay in their tents for this was a day for brave men. Then came the shell wound and gloriously flung her hand upward, fiercely bidding the men in the name of Allah to go-forth and earn a wound like hers. Her identity is not made known but the camps hum with her bravery and it is predicted that this wil] not be her last appearance. After the battle she uppeared at the headquarters with her arm bandaged and demanded a rifle and it was reverently given to her, and as she strides through the tents brought from the desert, the dark skinned white- garbed men bow their heads to the sand. she

NIECE OF DREXEL FILES A HURRILD SUIT FOR DIVORCE Lawyer

Rich Mrs. Dahlgren’s Rushes to Court With a Pen- Written Complaint.

HAD BRILLIANT WEDDING

Nearly $1,000,000 in Presents Received by Couple Married by Archbishop.

YORK, March 23.—Mrs. Lucy Dahlgren began suit this after- Eric B. Dahl- custody of NEW Drexel noon against her husband, gsren, for a divorce and the her eight children. Both parties to the action possess great wealth and influential family conec- tions. The wife was, before her mar- riage, Lucy Drexel. She is a daughter of the late Joseph Drexel, a Philadelphia banker. Her sister is the wife of Harry Lehr. John R. Drexel is her uncle, and Anthony J. Drexel Jr., who married Mar- jorie Gould, is her first cousin. The total wealth of the families in which she shares blood relationship would foot up close to the billion mark. Son of Rear Admiral. Eric B. Dahlgren, the defendant, is the son of the late Rear Admiral Dahlgren, who won fame in the Civil War and a vast fortune through the invention of the Dalhgren gun. Just before the close of business this afternoon a member of Olcott, Gurber, Bonynge & McManus, filed Mrs. Dahl- gren’s summons and complaint in the Supreme Court. It was a brief document, barren of al] details save those essential to the bring- ing of the suit. Hand-Written Complaint. One singular feature of the complaint attracted immediate attention. It was hand written, not typed, and was writ- ten in a fashion that told of a_ pen pushed along at top speed. The ink upon the document was hardly d if from hard running. No other pen-written legal paper had ever come out of the well organized office of Mrs. Dahlgrens’ lawyers, s0 far as the oldest court clerk could re- member. Obviously, there was great haste in the making out of Mrs. Dahligren’s com- Plaint, a fact which Olcott’s managing clerk frankly admitted when questioned later. But all information as to the reason for the haste was refused. The complaint says the Dahlgrens were married Dec. 11, 1890, and that there are eight children living—Lucy, 20 vears; Madeleine, 19;-Kathrrine, 18: U1- rica, 16; Olga, 14; Eric, 11; Joseph 9, and Eva, §&8. The specific acts of misconduct upon which the plea for divorce is based are alleged ‘‘upon information and belief’? to have taken place at a house in East Fifty-ninth street and upon the 13th and 14th days of this March. Woman's Name Not Known, The woman in the case is described by Mrs. Dahlgren as ‘a woman whose name is unknown to the plaintiff.’”’ An affidavit accompanying the papers told that Mr. Dahlgren had been served with the summons last Thursday. At 812 Madison avenue, the home of Mrs. Dahlgren, which spreads its solid red brick front along more than half the block all callers were told that Mrs. Wahlgren was ‘out.’ The report came last night from Philadelphia that she had _ secretly sailed for Europe after the serving of the summons on her husband. This report could not be verified. Dahlgren was at the University Club of which he is a member, when the papers were filed. Over the telephone he said: “T knew of this action, of course. I have been served with a summons. Rut I have nothing to say—not a word.”’ Had Brilliant Wedding. The wedding of the Dahigrens Dec. 11, 1890, in this city, was one of the most brilliant of the year. Archbishop Corri- gan officiated under a great marriage bell of white chrysanthemums in the drawing room of the old Drexel Mansion in Madison avenue. Anthony Drexel of Philadelphia gave the bride away, the Count De Chambrun of the French Le- gation at Washington, a great grand- son of Lafayette, acted as best man. All society was present, and the newspapers of the day estimated the total value of the gifts at close to $1,000,000. METHODISTS BUY A TANK Increased Nulaber| bE Alton Con- verts Prefer Immersion.

NEGRO LYNCHED INFRONT OF HOTEL stable in Hotel Short Time Before.

FORT SMITH, Ark., March 23.—A mob broke into the city jail here to- night and seized an unidentified negro who previously had shot and probably fatally wounded Deputy Constable An- drew Carr. The negro was dragged through the principal business street to the front of a hotel and hanged to a telephone pole. Five hundred men were in the mob. They surged around the jall for almost an hour. After trying to batter down a steel door with a telephone pole, members of the mob tore the bars from a window of the prison and in a few minutes had the negro. He prayed for his life as he was dragged through the streets and to the telephone pole used for a gallows. The mob dispersed immediately after the negro was dead, and quiet was re- stored as soon as his body was cut down. The police did not try to interfere with the mob. KICKS WOMAN, HURTS SELF

of the company. HE Detisel engine is a Ger- 4% man invention, and in many parts of Europe is taking the place of coal engines for mo- tive power where heat is not re- quired, It gets its power from the expansion of crude oil when heat is applied. The engine has no boiler, occupies about half of the space of a steam engine of like horsepower capacity, and is built in all sizes, The first cost of installing the engine is greater than in a steam engine, but the saving in fuel and maintenance, it is claimed, en- ables the’engine to pay for itself in compatatively a short time. Four hundredDiesel engines are now in use in America. A Diesel engine was used by Amundsen on his trip to the South Pole. It proved light, strong, and efficient in providing motive power for his boat which withstood the icepacks in south- ern seas. The capital stock of. the Busch- Sulzer Bros.-Diesel Bngine Co., is $2,100,000. ie

CAULFIELD: I shill be very glad to withdraw my opposition to the Busch bill if there is a change in it to show what the icompany intends to do with the streets. I would like to see the bill drawn in such a man- ner that the streets would revert to the city in case they are not used for the purpose now announced. The giving of money for this privilege has never entered into my considera- tion of thé-matter. I don’t care for that. 1 have no desire to drive away enterprise. PROTZMANN: I think Council will line up for this Busch vacation bill Tuesday. I believe a new bill will be forthcoming Tues- day, and will be passed speédily. I tried to help’ the first measure through, and I shall vote in favor of a new bill when it is presented. PAULE: The city has made a mis- take in not passing the measure, I think it is an outrage. Some mem- bers of the Council talk of compen- sation. I think the acquisition of such an industry as the Diesel Engine Co. contemplates establishing here is compensation enough for any city. I voted to pass this bill over the Mayor's veto and I shall vote for any bill that promises to bring a plant of this kind to St. Louis. the City BUSCH DISCUSSES THE SITUATION August A.

WIFE'S STORY OF REARING 6 ON $5 WEEK WINS POLICE Chief Young Threatens to Throw Book at Husband Who Abuses Her.

Mrs. Tillie Steckman, 4154 Schil- ler place, who, with her six children, the oldest a girl of 8, appeared at police headquarters to complain egainst her husband’s mistreatment of her because of her “extravagance. ’ told Chief Young yesterday how she managed to support her entire household on $5 a week. The cause of all her trouble, she said, was that her husband learned she owed a $1.70 milk bill and had borrowed $3 from her butcher with which to buy the children some clothes. The wife, a rosy-cheeked, robust woman of 27, and the little ones, 4ll sturdy youngsters, appeared so well fed and in such good _ health that Chief Young asked Mrs. Steckman to explain how she had been able to provide enough to eat out of her slender allowance. She replied that for nine years the family menu has consisted of coffee and bread for breakfast, milk and bread for lunch, soup meat, bread and coffee with a vegetable for din- ner. Once in qa while she had pota- toes for dinner on account of the children. Whenever she does, she said, Steckman tells her it is a lux- ury he can see no sense in and she must be crazy. Two Vegetables on Sunday. Steckman consents to two vege- tables, one of them potatoes, on Sun- day, she admitted. But he insists that anybody who would eat more is a glutton and spendthrift. She buys four loaves of stale bread a day for a dime and steams it to make it palatable. She also gets 15 cents worth of soup meat and 15 cents worth of milk every day. She buys a 15-cent pair of stockings for each of the children every week. For many had to pay $1.20 a some chickens, although the fowls do not pay for their keep. For 70 cents a week she keeps up insurance policies on herself and the little ones. She tried to keep the husband from finding out about the $1.70 milk bill, she explained, in the hope she would be able to pay it some time. He happened to be at home the morning the dairyman brought the account, however, and the wife says he flew into a violent rage. When he learned about the $3 she had borrowed from the butcher, she de- clares, he called her extravagant and threatened to kill her. Chief Young Gets Angry. Chief Young tried to reconcile the pair yesterday afternoon. Once he sent them out together. Young was watching them through the office window, he says, and Steckman shaking his fist in He had the man brought she said, she has week for feed for months, he saw his wife’s face. back. Steckman angered Young by pronounc- ing a tirade against his wife's ‘‘extrava- gance.”’ Once ,the Chief threatened to throw a book at his head if he said an- other word against the woman. At this Mrs. Steckman asked that he be locked up, saying she would prosecute him in in the Police Court. As the mother started to leave the youngsters and her children the room, none of would kiss’ their father good-by, although he begged them _ to. When he caught the youngest, Bertha, 6 months old, and

She told the chief a manager of a charitable institution had promised to help her find em- ployment.

ALICE THAW’S EARL INHERITS BIG ESTATE LONDON, March 23.—The Ear! of Yar- mouth, who has been living at times in a London garret, succeeded _ today through the death of his father to the titles and estate of the Marquis of Her- ford. The property tncludes 12,500 acres in Warwickshire. For much of the time since 1908, when Alice Cornelia Thaw of Pittsburg, sister of Harry K. Thaw, got a divorce from Yarmouth, he has had a more or less precarious existence. When Yarmouth married Miss Thaw in Pittsburg, in April, 1903, the bride’s moth- er, Mrs. William Copley Thaw, settled on her $1,000,000. At the last minute a demand for a larger dowry was made and real estate valued at $500,000 was transferred by Mrs. Thaw to her son- in-law in trust for her daughter, the Countess. In 1908 an English court an- nulled her marriage. The Earl, when he lost his wife, also lost her dowry. aged 8: John, 2,

$110,000 FOR ART INTAUSSIG BUDGET KNOCKS OUT AUTOS Appropriation for Museum Cuts Into Fund, City Officials Will Have to Walk. Art has scored over automobiles in the annual appropriation bill to be submitted April 16 to the Municipa! Assembly by Comptroller Taussig. The bill will contain an appropria- tion for about $110,000 for the Art Museum, but the allowance for auto- mobiles will be trimmed to a. mini- mum. The recent decision of the Supreme Court of Missouri holding that the tax for maintainig the Art Museum is valid makes it mandatory that a tax of 2 cents on the $100 valuation be levied by the city. No tax for that fund had been levied for the last three years, pending the court decision. Requisitions for about forty auto- mobiles have been made to the Comptroller in the estimates of ex- penditures by city departments. Things looked bright for the autos until the art tax came along and took $100,000 out of the available funds, Comptroller Taussig told a Post-

FALLS WHEN ROOSEVELT RENEWS TAFT WAR

and Friends Thrown Into Heap in Portland Auditorium.

GIVEN CORDIAL GREETING

He Declares President’s ‘‘Repre- sentative Government” Re- sponsible for Nation’s Ills.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. PORTLAND, Me., March 23.—Theodore Roosevelt had just taken upon the platform of the auditorium here to- night, when the floor gave way. The Colonel, Gov. Bass of New Hampshire and a score of the vice-presidents of the meeting were tumbled in a heap in the middle of the broken staging. Cheers which had continued for more than one minute at the first appearance of the Colonel suddenly gave way to cries of alarm as it appeared that the accident must be a serious one, Roosevelt regained his feet, so that his head could be seen by the audience just above the sunken flooring. He waved his arms and shouted: ‘‘All right. There's no one hurt.” a seat Then he began assisting his friends to! their feet. The crowd set up a tremen- dous cheer and Roosevelt placed a chair at the firm front edge of the platform and prepared to begin his address. HOUSEHOLD SHOW ON ANOTHER WEEK

Politicans here declare the meeting is4 the largest ever held in the city. enthusiasm of the throng was unex- pectedly cordial. Local Taft leaders sent a telegram to Washington urging Pres- ident Taft to make every effort to visit New England again at once. In his address Roosevelt took issue with statements in recent speeches made by President Taft. Abraham Lincoln to prove that the President’s theory of government meant government by ‘‘a combination of po- litical and financial privileges.’’ “The President of the United States} has in a number of recent speeches, ably and correctly stated the issue be- tween him and us,” said Roosevelt. Dangerous to Revise Lincoln. “We stand for the right of the peomy ple to rule, and we stand for this as a real and living fact, and not as a juggling formula ingeniously’ de- vised so as not to find expression in fact. In a recent speech the Presi- dent paraphrased Lincoln’s great state- ment that ‘this is a Government of the people, for the people and by the peo- ple,’ proposing as a substitute that we should hereafter act on the theory that this is a Government of the people, for the people, by a representative part (or class) of the people. It is dangerous work for any man to try to improve on Lincotn’s doctrines of popular sover- eignty and popular right. “Those who believe in government or rule by a part of the people, by a minor- ity of the people, by a privileged class or caste, over the rest of the people have always insisted under every form of minority government from aristoc- racy to plutocracy that they were really representing the people, that they knew how to represent the people and how to govern them a great deal better than athe people did themselves. is on this point that we follow Abraham Lincoln and take direct issue with the President. In actual practice the President’s theory of government of the people, not by the people, but by a representative part of the people, means simply government of the people hy the bosses, by the men who repre- re t the combination of politics and big business, a combination of political and fnancial privilege. This is what gov- crmment of Americans by a representa- tive part or class of Americans in actual practice means. “Thanks to the very bosses in ques- tien, thanks to the representatives of pelitical and financial privilege and even, I am sorry to say, a proportion of fudicial officers, we have in actual experience had this kind of govern- ment which the President upholds in many parts of our country and it has not been a Satisfactory experiment. “In actual practice such a_ so-calied representative part of the people repre- sents and will always represent nothing Pimples? No They've All Gone! No More Humiliation: the Won- derful St-:art’s Calcium Wafers ‘‘Get Right After’’ Those Pim. ples, Boils and Skin Eruptions. Trial Package Sent Free to Prove It. No need for anyone to go about any longer with a face covered with pimples, blotches, eruptions, black- heads and liver spots. These are all due to impurities in the _ blood. Cleanse the blood thoroughly and the blemishes will disappear. That's what Stuart’s Calcium Wafers are intended to accomplish and do accomplish. Their principal ingredient ig Calcium Sulphide, the quickest and most thorough blood cleanser known. These wonderful little wafers get right into the blood, an¢ destroy eruptive substances present in it.

whatever but privilege The chief pres- ent adherents of the President, gentle- men like Senator Penrose, Senator Gal- linger, Mr. Barnes, Mr. McKinley, Mr. Tawney and their associates, are precisely the men who, under the Presi-. dent’s theory, would be, as they to a certain degree already are, the ‘repre- sentative part’ of the people which gov- erns the rest af the people—and which does not really represent them at all, but misrepresents them. In short, in its actual workings, the President's scheme would be a government of the peuple, for the people by the bosses, and it would make little lifference to the peo- ple whether the bosses acted through boss-controlled legislatures, or through boss-nominated and privilege-ridden courts. People Are Capable. “As against this theory of government we adhere to the theory set forth by Lincoln, the theory that this is ‘a Gov- ernment of the people, for the people and by the people.’ To hold that the American people are fit to rule them- selves, and that no small part of them is to be permitted to govern the rest. We hold that the American people are to govern themselves, to rule themselves and that they choose their representa- tives not to rule over them, but merely to manage the public business in the best possible fashion for them, accord- ing to the general lines which they, the people, lay down. In other’ words, whereas, the President believes that a part of the people are to govern the rest, we hold that all the people are to govern themselves by choosing some of their number, not to govern them in the sense of ruling them, but to manage their government for them as_ they themselves decree. “This is not a difference of words. This is a fundamental difference, which explains why, in so many matters, the Progressives do not ‘feel that the Pres- ident, however good his intentions, can properly represent them, or pay to pro- gressive ideas the kind of loyalty which results in the translation of words into actions."’ Roosevelt reiterated his own known arguments as to the rights of the people to recall decisions of state courts, declaring that in no other English- speaking country or in France and Ger- many were judges given such power as in the American state courts. “Remembe: always,’ explained the Colonel, “that I am not speaking of ordinary cases of justice between man and man. I am not asking that the rem- edy be applied to the Federal courts. I am speaking only of the powers that well-

within the last century have been as- sumed by American state courts.’ e La Follette Will Fight for Delegates in: Nebraska and Oregon. WASHINGTON, March 2.—Senator La Follette, according to announcement from headquarters today, will leave Washington soon after April 1, for the states of Nebraska and Oregon, in a fight for delegates to be elected at the primaries in the two states April 19.

BOTH ROOSEVELT AND TAFT CLAIM LEAD IN INDIANA Last of 1128 Delegates to State Convention Tuesday Chosen, Fight in Prospect. - BACK PRESIDENT

CITIES

Former Executive, on Face of Returns Is Favored in - Rural Districts.

23.— INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March With both Taft and Roosevelt support- ers claiming a slight lead in the num- ber of delegates chosen today to the Republican State convention here next Tuesday, indications are that there will be a spirited fight in the naming of four delegates-at-large to the national con- vention and two electors. The last of 1128 delegates to the State convention were chosen tonight. Ed- win M. Lee, manager of the Roosevelt campaign, believes that the former President will have a majority of about 2) votes. Harry S. New, national committeeman in charge of the Taft headquarters, is. confident of a similar lead. Returns from a number of counties show that most of the Taft delegates have been selected in the cities and towns, and that Roosevelt’s best sup- port has been given in the country dis- tricts. While the figures show this to be true, counties, in some instances, have chosen entire delegations who favor one or the other candidates. TAFT AND ROOSEVELT DIVIDE COLE COUNTY Several Peace Meetings at the Capital Result in Split Delegations. JEFFERSON CITY, March 23.—The Cole County Republican factions bur- ied the hatchet here today in the mat- ter of selecting delegates to the State convention and also to the congres- sional convention, which meets here April 3. Four of the eight delegates to the State convention are _ for Roosevelt and four for Taft. Of the 12 delegates to the congressional convention six are for Roosevelt and six for Taft. These latter delegates were instructed to vote for William C, Irwin of this city, a Taft man, and F. A. White of Versailles, a Roosevelt man, for district delegate. This di- vision was the result,of several peace meetings and a re-arranged plan among the leaders to divide honors equally. The delegates to the State convention are A. P. Grimshaw, C. A. Arnold, .Louis Henry, A. J. Bauer. yeorge Wagner, Louis Schneider, Adam Gleb and Dr. J. T. Carston., BECOMES A FORGER AFTER MANY WOES Lack of Work, Death of Relative and Money Lender Cited by Prisoner.

Flynn’s Goal Against Own Team Gives Leos 1-1 Draw in Fall River

After McCaffery Puts His Eleven Out in Front, St. Louis Fullback Scores Only Point for Opposition.

By THOMAS W. CAHILL. FALL RIVER, Mags., March 23.—The St. Leos played a i—1 draw game with the Fall River Rovers here this after- noon. The weather was ideal for the game, but the athletes were forced to Play on a sea of mud, which really pre- vented fast play. A crowd of about 1500 saw the show. The reversal of form shown by the St. Louisans over their last two games was remarkable and took the home team by surprise. In fact, the game really should have resulted in a victory for the St. Leos, as Fullback Joe Flynn scored the only goal made by the home aggregation in trying to block the ball} of a drive from Lynn. It bounded off his foot through his own goal. Luck Against St. Leos. The St. Leos have played in the hard- est kind of luck throughout the tour and today’s game was no exception to the rule, as they were forced to go into the game this afternoon without the services of Fullback Boucher and Half- back. MeCarthy, on account of injuries received in the New York game. This caused a changing of the team and made it hard for them to play their regular combinations. ; Then, again, they have not won the toss in any of four games played to date, which has given the home elevens a great advantage, as they had to face the sun, and generally a strong wind. With any kind of luck today they should have won, but every close decision went against them, and though they outplayed and outgamed the home eleven, they could do no better than get a draw. The refereeing today of N. Eccles of Fall River was the best and fairest that the St. Leos have had on the #rip. He reminds me of Paul McSweeney of St. Louis and his excellent handling of the game gave the boys encourage- ment throughout the entire contest. Sheehan Makes Nice Stop. After Brannigan kicked off, the Fall River forwards rushed the ball past the Leo’s half- backs and when within 15 yards of the St. Leos’ goal, Murphy made a great shot. It was one of the best of the afternoon, but Sheahan blocked and cleared in fine style. Both teams then kept the ball up and down the field without much advantage to either side for the next 5 minutes. At the end of this time Donohue got pos- session of the pigskin and started down the right line for a run of 10 yards. He then passed to Brannigan, who crossed to Me- Cormick and the latter carried the ball to within 12 yards of the Fall River goal and crossed to McCaffery, who had a@ clear field. He shot true and tallied the only goal of the afternon for the St. Leos. IN 3 DAYS et eee eee _) St. Leos to Finish Eastern Tour Today Against Picked Team FALL RIVER, Mass., March 23. EMBERS of the St. Léos soc- cer football tearm departed by steamer here tonight for New York. They will wind up their Eastern tour with a game against a picked team of the National Soc- cer League at Paterson, N. J., to- morrow. To date the St. Leos own one vic- tory on théir trip. That was against the Tacony eleven in Phil- adelphia. They were beaten by the West Hudsons in Harrison, N. J., and in the game with the Howard- Bulloughs of Pawtucket.

The Fall River team aroused by\this great exhibition of the St. Loufsane, settled down to the best playing they had done during the afternoon and nothing but the brillant de- fensive playing of Peterson, Flynn and Shea- han kept them from scoring. When the half had gone-to 32 minutes McLean and Sullivan }Srought the ball right up to the mouth of the Leos’ goal when Sullivan made a great shot. Sheahan again cleared in fine style, but placed the ball on the instep of Half- back Lynn, who took another shot at goal. Flynn of the Leos tried to block and in doing 80, booted the ball through his own goal. This was caused mainly by the wet condition of the ball. It was the hardest kind of luck, as it proved to be the tieing goal and prevented the Leos from registering a victory. Noa Goals in Second Half. The second half was very evenly contested, both elevens playing in fine form. but with- out results. The playing of Halfback Peter- son was the feature of this half as was Murphy‘s and Burns’ of Fall Rivers. Great credit must be given to the playing of Mc- Caffery in today’s contest. In fact, he has played great football in all of the games on_the tri p 8t. Leos (1). Fall River (1).

John Keon Wies Slugging Match - From Al Tofte By HARRY S. SHARPE. Referee of the St, Louis A. C, and the Post-Dispatch’s Boxing Authority. A rare assortment of boxing was served members of the Missouri Athletic Club who gathered Saturday to witness the monthly amateur tournament. There were six bouts in all, and the last one probably was intended as the feature, and in some respects it was. This bout was a special match between John Kern and Al Tofte at 145 pounds and was the hardest slugging match seen in a tournament this season. Kern is a heavy weight lifter by occupation and a strong man by nature, while Tofte, a member of the Fire Department, is close up when it comes to strength. The men attempted no fancy boxing, but went at each other hammer-and- tongs fashion and it is surprising the bout went the limit of three rounds, for in that time enough heavy blows were landed by each to have felled an ox. Kern Has Slight Edge. It was pretty even for the first two rounds, with Kern having a slight edge; but in the third round Kern staggered Tofte, and it is a wonder the fireman go down and stay there, He recovered quickly, but Kern had run up @ margin that earned him the judges’ decision. Another bout of: special interest was that between Henry Krause and Loren Steinheimer at 158 pounds. Heretofore Krause has stood like the Rock of Gib- raltar in local amateur circles at his weight, but last night he met his Water- loo, and at the end of three rounds of!

a very interesting match Steinheimer was declared the winner. Harry Claves, weighing about 128 pounds, sprueg a surprise when he de- feated the clever Bobby Lyons, who en- tered the ring at about 140 pounds. It would have been better for the latter had he weighed closer to 135 pounds, for his lack of condition was very notice- able in the last round. Claves Has Left Jab. Cleaves won nearly all the way, using @ good left jab, right cross and upper- cut with either hand. Lyons tried rush- ing tactics in the second round, but some stiff jabs stopped him and drew blood from his nose. ° John Jackson defeated Dick Garten at 135 pounds and was given the referee's decision after the judges had disagreed when the third round was over. On a previous occasion Garten had won over Jackson, but last night Jackson wes the aggressor and showed to better ad- vantage. a John Commander, wan from Tom Cory at 135 pounds, this bout being stopped in the third round, as Cory appeared to be outclassed. rr Thy tae Tom Harragasi} boxing Andrey 4abra at 115 pounds, was given the judges’ de- cision at the end g¢ the thirder dung: t College President Objects to.

Steinfeldt is trying a ‘‘come back,”’ and so far has pleased Manager Bresnahan in his efforts. He is a@& member of the Cardinal squad now, although he hasn't signed a con- tract. Bresnahan believes there is still some good baseball in Harry's system. Right now Steinfeldt is complaining of a bad arm. That's only to be expected, how- ever, at this stage of the season: but some warm sunshine should bring that member around all right. He is capable of throw- ing, but hasn't the ‘‘stuff’’ on the ball that will come as the season advances. eee

Kasy to Regain Form. Horgan anticipates no trouble getting back into his best form at pool. ‘“‘Three-cushion and pool strokes are much alike, and playing ome game does not dis- turb the player's efficiency at the other. Getting back to my former pool form would mean simply time and practice,’’ Horgan de- clares. ‘‘T think I can win the pool title easily now. De. Oro seems to have lost his eye, and he’s the only man I fear at all.”’ The three-cushion title has had an in-and- out career, and the possessor of the trophy has had much difficulty in keeping it for any length of time. In fact, Alfredo de Oro, the wonderful Cuban Wizard, is the only player who has ever come close to re- taining the emblem permanently. Conditions governing the acquisition of the emblem demand that it be won five con- secutive times before it passes out of com- petition forever. De Oro had four ‘‘legs’’ on jit, at one time, having beaten Daly, Hueston, Jevne and Lean, De Oro then stubbed his toe, losing a match to Fred Eames, one of the easiest of his opponents.

In the meantime, returns from stage con- tracts continue just as merrily. a s © HE DOESN'T SHAPE UP. OT having seen Flynn in action {is no reason why one can’t decide for himself the fireman’s fitness to meet the big smoke. Have a look at what the guide book says of Flynn and then fig- ure him out. Here’s some of the facts about the next candidate for the world's championship honors: Height, 5 feet 9% inches, Age, 32 years and 3 months. Weight, normally about pounds. Years in the ring, Nationality, Irish American, The last puzzle, dear reader, is intend- ed to convey that gentleman was born of Irish-German parentage, On Ameri- can soil. He had a little Greek reflect- ed on his lineage at one time, when he owned a step-parent named Chfiariglion. * ~ * GOOD FOR HIS SIZE, UEBLO saw Flynn's rise and at one time hailed him for the real thing. And Flynn is a nifty scrapper, for his size. He’s all to the pocket edi- tion, however, when compared wv big black Johnson, who is a better, as well as a bigger boxer. Flynn isa busy little fellow, once he gets inside his opponent’s guard, and has a kick in either hand. * * * ALL KNOCKOUTS BUT ONE. IS best season was his 1911 -year, even though he has passed over the slope in point of year, and is wend- ing his way down toward the stage where most scrappers have to get out of the game. In the thirty-first vear of his life, Flynn knocked out Tony Caponi, Al Mandino, Al Kaufman and four sixth raters. He also defeated Carl Morris, because that gentleman had not yet mastered the art of holding him off at long range. Prior to 1911 Flynn was an in-and-out- er of the most erratic type. His fights with Sam Langford show him n worst of all, knockouts in one and eignt rounds by “Tham” being registered against him. To make the Johnson-Flynn match, now proposed, still more impossible in appearance, Jack Johnson, the man whom Flynn is supposed to fight for the title, once knocked Flynn out with the greatest ease. a GOING BACK TOGETHER. Flynn were a young man, im- proving as Johnson slips back, one might believe Flynn had hopes. But the gentlemen are growing old and going downhill together. The champion ic 34 years of age and Flynn is less than one year younger soth have been scrapping many years and any argu- ment that speaks of Johnson’s decline applies to Flynn. Fitzsimmons is about the only party able to win championships after pass- ing the 30 mark. And this sort only blooms with the century plant. * - . 175 11. German- WHAT'S ITS EXCUSE? PROMOTER with the ear of the Chicago press alone has been able to put this thing as far along the route as it has progressed. There is-not a single merit to the match, not even the uncertainty that exists between men who have never met. Not only have they fought, but Flynn was along, long time in coming round, after Johnson de- cided to finish him. a F this match draws a house of $25,- 000 to the Nevada desert, it will be due GETS-IT for Corns Really a Wonder New Way, Painless, Safe and Sure. “Quit That!

arena. Carroll Defeats Fred Gilmaster in Lively Bout Paddy Carroll administered a terrific beating to Fred Gilmaster and clearly won the feature bout of a card of three before members of the South Broadway A. C. last night. While the bout went the limit of eight rounds, Gilmaster was only saved from a knockout by the tap of the bell in the third round and was only prevented from being floored four different times in the eighth session by the ropes. In the semi-windup, Charley Jerabek had the better of his six-round bout with Peter Sturholz. They mixed at 145 pounds. Sturholdt held his own for the first three rounds, but after that Jerabek drew away from him and had a big lead at the windup. Referee Frankie Noel was kept busy in separating the men. Otto Nelson was disqualified for hold- Ing and hitting in the first round of his bout at 183 pounds wiih Jack Pezolt. Pe- zolt had the better of the bout while it lasted. He landed several hard swings to Nelson's face and body. Johnny and Thommy Munich, 8 and 9 years old brothers, entertained the mem- bers with a three-round exhibition.

MOTORISTS PLEASED LAW IS UPHELD Considerable satisfaction is erx- pressed among members of the Automo- bile Club and by men in the trade at the fact that Judge Withrow upheld the State law, which makes it a felony for a motorist to “‘run away” after an ac- cident in which any person is injured. The law requires that in such case the driver must stop and give information as to his name and the name of his em- ployer, if he is an employed driver. EE After the Age of Fifty From this age the human system gradually declines and the accumu- lated poisons in the blood cause rheumatism in joints, muscles and back. These warnings should be promptly relieved and serious ill- ness avoided by using the follow- ing prescription which comes from a noted doctor and is said to have no equal in curing rheumatism and restoring physical strength. Good results come after the first dose. “Krom your druggist get one ounce of Toris compound (in original sealed package) and one ounce of syrup of Sarsaparilla compound. Take these two ingredients home and put them into a half pint of good whiskey. Shake the-—

re ee Se a i ts le and take a tablespoonful before each meal and at bed-time.” If your druggist does not have Toris com- pound in stock he will get it for you in a few hours from his whole- sale house. Don’t be influenced to take a patent medicine instead of this. Insist on having the genuine Toris compound in the original one ounce, sealed, yellow package.—

Failing in this, under tbe éaiision of Judge Withrow, he can be arrested and sent to the penitentiary. _Sane motorists are unanimous 2 in be-

M. A. Bright and John H. Thomas are rival candidates for Park Commissioner, which pays no salary, and each is sing- ing the praises of the other. Neither is a politician and neither wanted the of- fice. One party named Thomas and the other later nominated Bright. He draws a salary of $10,000 a year because he learned when he was a boy at Cen- tralia, Mo., to s@pgrate ‘‘canners’’ from export steers, ahd is sald to be one of the most accurgse judges of beef cat- tle in America. i} {?% Thomas was formerly .night superin- tendent of the Frepgtii Iron and Steel mills, and is now a member of the firm of Thomas & eltman, ice and: coal dealers. ' i Demand for Playgrounds, The park ee of East St. Louis long has been cénsfidered neglected, but now there is a forward movement along this line and a pépular demand for play- grounds. Each of the candidates is in favor of more parks and the installation of accessories to ntake the parks of use to the public. Bright is famillar with the park sys- tem of Kansas City and favors adopting many of the features used there, par- Smoke of Herbs _ Cures Catarrh. A Simple, Safe, I Reliable Way and It Costs Nothing to Try. This preparation of herbs, leaves, flowers and berries (containing no tobacco or habit-forming drugs) is either smoked in an ordinary clean pipe or smoking tube, and by draw- ing the medicated smoke into the mouth and inhaling into the lungs or sending it out through the nos- trils in a perfectly natural way, the worst case of Catarrh can be eradi- cated. It ig not unpleasant to use, and at the same time it is entirely harm- tess, and can be used by man, woman or child. Just as Catarrh is contracted by breathing cold or dust and germ- laden air, just so this balmy anti- septic smoking remedy goes to all the affected parts of the air pas- sages of the head, nose, throat and Ivngs. It can readily be seen why the ordinary treatments, such cs sprays, ointments, salves, liquid or the affected parts. If you have catarrh of the nose throat or lungs, choking, stopped-up feeling, colds, catarrhal headaches: if you are given to hawking and spitting, this simple yet scientific treatment should cure you. An illustrated book which goes thoroughly into the whoie question of the cause, cure and prevention of catarrh will, upon request, be sent ton street, Atlanta, He will, also, mail you five days’ ‘free treatnmient. You will at once see that it is a wonderful remedy, and as it only costs one dollar for the regular treatment, it is within the reach of everyone.

Boliman Bros,’ “Once-a-Month” Sale. Another of the ‘“‘once-a-month”’ sales inaugurated by the Bollman Bros. Piano Co., 1120 Olive street, will be held to- morrow morning, when the firm will offer at reduced prices about 75 pianos and piano players which have been re- turned or exchanged. These sales, which occur each month, had their origin in the requests of several customers of the firm. The Bollman Bros. concern handles many high-grade pianos and piano play- ers which have been slightly used and which are considered too good for rent- ing out. The “once-a-month sales” are the solution of this problem. It was the ceneral interest aroused by the new pol- icy, Which places instruments practically new at the disposal of the public for relatively low prices, which induced the firm to make these sales a regular fea- ture of their business. = . | Degenhardt was acci- turned on but not lighted. said he thought the death dental. ante eee Tad Breaks a Cold i in a ote And Cures Any Cough That Is Curable.

A Reasonable Plea For the Stomach If Your Stomach Is Lacking in Digestive Power, Why Not Help the Stomach Do Its Work? ally When It Costs Nothing to Try. Now with drugs, but with a rein- forcement of digestive agents, such @s are naturally at work in the stomach? Scientific analysis shows that digestion requires pepsin, nitro- genous ferments, and the secretion of hydrochloric acid. When your food fails to digest, it is proof posi-

tive that some of these agents are). lacking in your digestive apparatus. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets con- tain nothing but these natural ele- ments necessary to digestion and when placed at work in the weak stomach and small intestines, sup- ply what these organs need. They stimulate the gastric glands and gradually bring the digestive organs back to their normal condition. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets have been subjected to critical chemical tests at home and abroad and are found to contain nothing but natural | digestives.

There is no secret in the prepara- tion of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Their composition is commonly known among physicians, as is shown by the recommendations of 40,000 licensed physicians in the United States and Canada. They are the most popular of all remedies for indigestion, dyspepsia, brash, insomnia, loss of appetite, melancholia, constipation, dysentery and kindred diseases originating from improper dissolution and as- similation of foods, because they are thoroughly reliable and harmless to man or child. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are at once a safe and a powerful remedy, one grain of the active principle in these tablets being strong enough (by test) to digest 3000 grains of steak, eggs and other foods. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will digest your food for you when your stomach can’t.

SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 24 1913. WRECKING STARTS MAY | ON SITE FOR SKYSURAPER All Arrangements Made for 19. Story Building at Olive and Broadway.

Construction soon will be started on a number of high-class buildings in the business and residential districts. The most important of these will replace the present Commonwealth Trust Building, at the northeast corner of Broadway and Olive street, and the former build- ing of the Missouri Historical Society, at the southwest corner of Sixteenth and Locust streets. The clearing of the site at the north- east corner of Broadway and Olive street will be begun May 1, provided possession can be obtained of the quar- ters of Alexander F.. Kessler, hatter and furrier, at 206 North Broadway. Kessler, according to Jesse D. Dana, promoter of the project, has agreed to move as soon as he can find another lo- cation. Contracts were signed by the officials of the Commonwealth Trust Co. with C. Betram Cady, by which he will re- ceive a bonus of $25,000 for the sur- render of his lease of the fifth floor of the Third National Bank, at 421 Olive street. The proposed Commonwealth Trust Co. Buflding wil! be 19 stories in

height. With ground including the Present site of the Commonwealth Trust Building, the adjoining ground on Broadway extending north to the building of the Scarritt-Comstock Fur- miture Co., at Broadway and Locust Street, and the former building of the Third National Bank, the structure will represent an investment of $3,500,000. Ne- gotiations have been completed with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. for & building loan of $1,500,000 at 5% per cent. A 21-story building was proposed orig- inally, but this acheme was abandoned when it was found that a special ordi- nance would be required for its con- struction. The Seventeenth Street Realty Co. will erect an eight-story structure on the southwest. corner of Sixteenth and Lo- cust streets, to be known as the Leath- er Trades Building. The structure will occupy a site 100x155 feet and will cost $254,000. Improvements projected for the West End include the erection of an apart- ment building at 6614 and 5620 Water- man avenue to cost, exclusive of the site, $51,200. The builder will be Oscar Elmo, a client of the Weisels-Gerhart Realty Co. Permits have been taken out by the George F. Bergfeld Realty Co. for the erection of four 10-room houses on Ber- lin avenue, between Limit avenue and Skinker road, to cost $34,000.

OTTO TIETJENS. Otto Tietjens reports the sale of 3408-10 McKean avenue, consisting of a two-story double brick flat of four rooms and bath to each flat and renting for $888 per year, for the International Real Estate and Improve- ment Co., to Henry C . Kahl, a cilent of the North St. Louls Savings Trust Co. This flat is ogee to the one sold for this com- pany last week r. Tietjens also reports having assisted in negotiating loans amounting to $12,000

NEW CAR LINE ADDS HOME DIVISION TO CITY With the opening of the St. Louis and Jennings Railway, aow in oper- ation between Jennings Station and the terminus of the Union and Belle- fontaine electric lines, a new interest has been awakened in West Wal- nut Manor, located midway between these points. This subdivision was presented by the David P. Leahy House & Home Co. late last summer, but more than 1000 of the 2500 lots comprising the subdivision have been disposed of, nearly all going to prospective home builders. Between 30 and 35 homes, including a variety of bungalows and cottages, have been erected on the tract, while more will be built this spring. The St. Louis and Jennings Rail- way, which completes the transpor- tation facilities of this section of the city, according to realty men, as- sures the future of West Walnut Manor. The subdivision is located just beyond the terminus of the Union Avenue-Florrisant Electric line, on the summit of one of the most attractive locations in North- west St. Louis. The prices at which it is being marketed are declared to offer opportunities for homeseek- ers and investors, especially those of limited resources. A quick sale of the remaining 1400 lots is planned by the David P. Leahy House & Home Co., a scale of prices ranging from $9 to $14 a foot having been announced. The terms of the sale probably will be $9 down and $1 a week.

TEWSHOLONES MAY BE DISPOSED OF AT AUCTION Receiver Matt G. Reynolds Said to Have in Mind This Plan or Special Sale as Most Expeditious Method |“ of Converting Property Into Cash.

REAL ESTATE MEN TO APPRAISE VALUES

Lots in University City and Acreage in Its Vicinity In- cluded in Proposed Offer- ings—Schollmeyer to Auc- tion Off Buchanan Tract for Lots. Sales of lots in University City and of the acreage in that vicinity of the University Heights Realty and Develop- ment Co., a subsidiary of the Lewis Publishing Co., and of the Buchanan tract of 60 acres, located on Skinker road, just west of Forest Park, will be features of the spring in the St. Louis realty market. Ajthough no annmincement to this ef- fect has been forthcoming from former Circuit Judge Matt G. Reynolds, reveiv- er for the Lewis Publishing Co., it is understood that an auction or a special sale of the Lewis vroperty is projected as the most expeditious method for its conversion into cash. The disposition of the lots by private sale, according to realty experts, would consume several years, While in the in- terim the equities in them would be more or less absoroed by their carryins charges and the interest accruing on the mortgage against them. An early sale of the property, accordingly, is ex- pedient. John S. Carter, treasurer of the Mc- Nair & Harris Real Estate Co.; J. H. Farish and Albert T. Terry have been appointed to inventory and appraise the property, the sale of which !s expected to follow shortly. Several Choice Holdings, The holdings comprise about 175 lots in University City, in addition to 70 acres adjoining the municipality on the west, and a rectangular tract running parallel on the south with the Clayton branch of the Suburban or Hodiamont electric line. There are a number of parcels in other additions, including Parkview and Olive Terrace, on the Olive street road. University City has been laid out as a park subdivision, with street and municipal improvements of the highest order, and with building restrictions that assure its future as a high-class residen- tial locality. Rapid Upbuilding Expected, Following the distribution of the lots at the proposed auction or the special sale, the upbuilding of the subdivision, it is believed, will be swift and complete. A substantial price is expected for the Lewis acreage, which lifes so that it may be incorporated in University City. Del- mar boulevard, which forms the prin- cipal highway of University City, has been extended through this tract to Clayton. The tract lying on the south of and parallel with the Clayton branch of the Suburban or Hodiamont electric line promises also to be an attractive pur- chase, it having recently been the sub- ject of many inquiries. About two years ago Lewis tried to convert the University City property by auction in order to provide for the pur- chase of the Ames tract of 5 acres, on which, it is said, an option had been obtained at $400,000, approximately $8000 an acre, and which forms the connecting link between University City and Park- view. The weather was inclement, how- ever, and the proceeds of the auction were insufficient to complete the pur- chase. The best prices at this sale in Uni- versity City were received on Delmar boulevard, which has been completely absorbed, and on Washington and Kingsbury boulevards, which form the south half of the addition. The lowest prices were received north of Delmar. The south half of the tract is improved with houses ranging from $15,000 to $40,- 000. According to realty men, none of the property In this part of the subdi- vision is worth less than $0 a front foot, the lots being of generous dimen- sions. Bachanan Tract at Auction. A. R. Schollmeyer, an aspirant for the presidency of the St. Louis Real Estate Exchange, announced yesterday that the Buchanan tract of @ acres would be sold by auction in May in lots to suit. The title to the tract, which is located on Skinker road, just west of Forest Park, and south of Wydown boulevard, was acquired by Schollmeyer the latter part of February 4t a most attractive price. A nominal payment was made on the holding, the title to which he says will revert to others if the deferred payment, which is understood to be $200,000, is not forthcoming. Schollmeyer, accordingly, has conceived the auction project as an outlet from this venture. The land will be knocked down to the highest bidder, with the improvements guaranteed by the Title Guarantee Trust Co., or Amer- iean Trust Co., which, it is announced, has agreed to finance the project. The property is situated In one of the most attractive parts of the city, being in the track of the westward growth, and near Washington University. The auction, it is believed, will offer great opportuni- ties for both home sites and speculative investments.

WORDS AND MUSIC OF THESONG « the last few weeks have been unsuccessful? Gov. Hadley, who still trying, after the manner of the old kins. to sweenr bha’Kk the tidal wave of popular favor for the seng, is vsing the official State s ng. for which $500 was raid to Mrs. Elizabeth Hull of St. Louis, as his means of combating the unofficial lyric. Four tunes, offered in the contest fer the other half of the $1000 State sang: prize, aie to be used for Mrs. Hull’s song in the schools, and any- where else that anyone wishes to sing the long is Den'esh - meter words beginning ‘Missouri fair, we bring to thee.” The Governor hopes t!at cne of tie four tunes, r the four together, will get the pubiic mind off the dog song, whose advance in popularity he has compared to the spread of the seven-year itch. The Governor's chief objection to the seng is that he doesn't like it. His secondary comopiaint, “hich touches the question just sta‘ted, is that the song is not a Missouri product. “It is a tarheel song,” he declares, indicating his belief that it came from North Carolina. Put some Missouriang who have been here icnger than Gov. Hadley believe the song does belong to this State. John H. Curran, who did his best, while immigraticn cédmmissioner, to help get an official State song, contradicts his former chief and declares that the doz sone «ame from Missouri, and that it had cone a long way from Missouri at the time he first heard it. “It was out in New Mexico,” gays Curran. “some 20 years ago. I was with some fellow; on a ranch, and one of them, who was from Mis souri, wag the life of the party. He played the banjo and sang ‘Dinah Had a Wooden Leg,’ an‘ as sure as you live, the tune he sang it to was the very tune of the dog seng. And sometimes at the end of the ‘Dinah’ verse, he would sing this line, repeated two or three times: ‘Beys all kick mv deg aroun’.’ “And then, with his final twang of the banjo etrinze he would end with: ‘Metter quit kickin’ my dog aroun’.’ “I forgot all about the words until the dog song recalled them to me.” Jim F'eland, who has been an automobile sales- man and good roads worker in South and South- west Missouri, was in the Ozarks in December, when the songz began to be heard in St. Louis, and he undertook to trace it to its source. He found that more people seemed to know the song, and to have known it longer, at Mountain Grove, Wright County, than anywhere else; but no one in Mountain Grove covld help him in his histor- ical inouiry. In Phelre County, where the Ozark crest has its jumping-off place—the county which, its in- habitants say, would equal Texas in area, if it were flattered out—-Feland found an old settler who told him thet the song started there. The old man had no ear for music, and couldn't be sure whether the tune was the one he used to hear, but he said he would never forget the in- cident which gave rise to the song.

“It was in Rolla, ’way along before the War,” he related. “There was a lot of boys kickin’ 4 dog around the square, an’ the young chap that owned the dog came up and hollered “You quit a-kickin’ my dog’ aroun’!’ Wanted to lick the whole bunch, and had the town a-laughin’ at bim. An’ it weren’t long after that, that I heard somebody singing a song about it, with the words just about like they are now.” To meet the objection that the song is too short, Foland has prepared what the musical comedy people call “added verses.” He says he has made them as Ozarkish in atmosphere as a long acquaintance with that country would enable him to do. The verses have not much connection with the honn’ idea. and not much connection with ea h other, but they can be sung to the houn’ cog tune, and consecutiveness is not necessary, Fcland says, in an Ozark folk-ballad. Here are two of his verses: Sambe, lay that-a banio down, You good-for-nothin’ triflin’ houn’, Drive the ol’ dog out in the rain, An’ milk that cow for Susan Jane. Apple cicer an’ ‘simmon beer, If 1 get drun', my gal don't keer, All las’ night an’ the night before, I lay dead drunk at the hotel door. A St. Louis song writer ait on a somewhat dif- ferent idea, and has been the frst to put out the deg lyric in shect music form. Feland s°ys his tvne is wrong, and that his savor of Olive street rather than of the hills, but he ad- mits that anyone who wants to use the dog song as part of ancther seng can do so, aS BO One can copyright the four familiar and oft-printed lines: yerses Every time | come to town, Boys keep a-kickin’ my dog aroun’: Makes no diff’rence if he is a houn’, Gotta quit kickin’ my dog aroun’, The St. Leu's sheet music writer, who has suc- ceeded in “putting over” his seng in a number of distant localities as the original and complete production, uses the dog scng proper as the chorus, and tells in six verses the story of the

Here are the words in the original German:

It’s all the same to me what else they do— They must not knock my dog around. In a German scrapbook of the fifteenth cen- ury the song is entitled “The Lay of the Dog,” and contains several stanzas, the lines sung in the Ozarks being only the refrain. Beneath the last stanza in the scrapbook are the initials “M. L.”—1499!”" Here is some editorial comment on the gon: (From New York Evening Mail, by Willis Leonard Clanahan. ) As Others Might Have Added Feet to Make Missouri's Song Complete: By TOM MOORE.

It has been made plain that this obscure son of the Ozarks has been sung for a century af least by the hill folk and the poor whites.

How widely it is known, the folklore spec ialists may be left to investigate, but its genuine- ness is shown by internal evidence. There is that comes straight from the people—neither Cossacks nor academics can suppress its mad- dening lilt. The experts may criticise and offer substitutes, but what the people are sing- ing is the despised rag of the Ozarks with its deep symbolism for the downtrodden: | Makes no difference if he is a houn’, They gotta quit kickin’ my dawg aroun’. Men could fight to the last ditch to that doleful tune. (New York World, editorial column.) The sentiment of the lines is admirable. Ti is the best kind of Democracy. The Ozark bard. in his honest, rural way, has struck a chord that needs only to be repeated on every Democratic platform during the coming campaign te fire the popular heart. The “houn’ song” {s the trumpetcall to the hatt'e for justice. If the Democratic party is in earnest, it will make the country understand that when it says “they gotta stop kickin’ my dawg aroun’,” it means that the consumers, the plain people, shall not be abused any longer, With the Ozark hymn for {ts watchword and the firm resolve to fight for the right, what is. there to prevent it from marching on to victory next November and planting its standards oni the highest ramparts of the White House? — <P

HE lion in the fable com- plained that, as men were the sculptors, they always depicted men as the victors in their statues of combats with lions. Similarly, as men were for a long time al- most the only writers and doers, they repre- sented women as being wanting in initiative, al- though the accusation was sometimes softened cy terming them “the conservatives of the race. Schopenhauer’s spiteful essay against the fair sex has, of late years, been frequently rebutted by women who have shown the enterprise and Among these is Miss Catherine S Lewis, whom the same quality of initiative made the heroine of a fire in the Blair Public School, St. Louis, and the manager of a suc- cessful dairy farm near West Plains, Mo. By her cool promptitude of action, Miss Lewis saved a roomful of pupils from fire and panic, when she was a schoolma'am in St. Louis. By her vigor of management she has obtained in a few years almost a monopoly of the dairy sup- plies of West Plains, and relates that 12 men who were her competitors have all succumbed to “the survival of the fittest’—she being the fittest. Nevertheless, she has reteined her feminine charm unimpaired. Her stature is small and girlish, her large brown eyes ae limpid and at- tractive, her cheeks are rosy, and, in the midst of the distractions of bookkeeping and collecting accounts, she maintains a love for music and poetry. She emphatically declares she is no! a suffragette, and holds to the principle. which many of her more advanced sisters denounce as a relic of female slavery, that “women should n° meddle in men’s affairs.” She rather coyly de- fends her own incursion into the masculine realm of business by saying: | “T had to make a living, for I had no man to do it for me.” the story of Miss Lewis’ success. She was born (she will not say how nearly 30 years ago) the daughter of a farmer in Northern Missouri. Sev- enteen years ago her father bought a farm of 216 acres in Howell County, in the Ozark district, three miles from West Plains, and on this farm she spent that part of her years she was not

attending school, for she received an excellent education. Her life on the farm gave her a knowledge of its occupations and a sturdy constitution which did not shrink from inclemency of weather or severity of labor. When her father hecame, six years ago, too old to continue the active man- agement of his affairs, she took his place. For two of the six years, from 1907 to 1910, she con- f on

It is probable that many women, perhaps the average woman, would have chosen pedagogy. It — _ must be kept in the best of condition. Miss Lewis set an example by her own ardent labor in the dairy. She had from the first set a motto for het- self, which was, in her own words, “to give the people the real stuff.” This meant that their milk must be milk with cream upon it, that the butter must be fresh and sweet, and that the products which she marketed must surpass those of her competitors in excellence. Perched upon a spring wagon, with milk cans all about her, Miss Lewis at first made her own deliveries and was her own “milkman.” Her ATHERINE LEWIS’ FARM,

trade grew until the route was too long for ott person to supply. Then she hired a man to assist her. All the collections she still makes herself in person. : It is obvious that her day is a busy one, from dawn to dark. The direction of her employes, the management of the dairy, the keeping of books, the collection of accounts and the delivery of milk and butter keep her fully occupied until nightfall. She finds recreation in her books and in her phonograph, with its grand opera—and also ragtime—records. Much of her reading {s upon scientific dairying, from which she has learned to install the best labor-saving machinery «1d to employ the new- est methods of sanitation.

Xr Howel County Has Woman Dairy Farmer and Three Women Editors OWELL County, Missouri, not only boasts a successful woman dairy farmer in Miss Catherine S. Lewis, a former St. Louisan, but has a newspaper, The Daily and Week- ly Quill of West Plains, the responsible editors of which are women. ters—Miss Cleora B. Williams, Miss Ella M. V. Williams and Mrs. Fritze Williams-Dixon, the daughters of Mills Williams, a pioneer journalist of Southeast Missouri. The Williams sisters not only write editorials, gather news and set their own type, but run the engine which turns their press. They are at once editors, reporters, copy readers, typesetters, proofieaders, makeup “men,” pressfeeders and engineers. They have instituted a “trouble editor,” and this uneasy position is held one day in sue cession by each. They tell of a man who rushed in to thrash the trouble editor and retreated abashed on finding that this personage was a woman. | They are sis-

result, she is regarded as the best and most sci- entifically equipped dairy farmer in her county. Her cattle herd now consists of 97 head, of which 15 are blooded black Aberdeen Angus and are registered. She plans to exhibit them this year a' the Missouri State Cattle Fair at Sedalia. One of her cows has produced in five years a profit of $750 in. milk and butter, besides the increase of the herd due to her calves. The black Angus bull weighs 1110 pounds, or more than half a ton. When a representative of the Post-Dispatch Sunday Magazine approached her farmhouse re- cently he saw an interesting sight. A heavy snow storm had fallen and it was bitterly cold. But out of the door burst the slight figure of a woman, wrapped from head to foot in a thick overcoat. Her feet were in boots, a man’s cap was drawn down over her ears, great mittens covered her hands, and she was immersed to the eyes in a muffler. She sped swiftly across the snow to where some cattle were exposed to the wind, and compelled them, with shouts and thumps with her hands, to move to more shel- tered quarters. She was doing a man’s work on a wintry day, and was healthy and happy doing it. Miss Lewis will not speak of her income more definitely than to say she is “making money’ Her bank account is regarded with respect in West Plains and the town gossip has it that she is prospering remarkably. “Miss Lewis i making money hand over fist,” the wiseacres of the vicinity remark. ‘A woman can do dairy farming as well as & man,” she says. “I have proved it. But I am not a suffragette. Men are capaple of looking after the politics of the country. Women shouldnt meddle in men’s affairs if they can help it. I am running a dairy business because I had to ma’e a living and because I had no man to de it for me.”

FLAGS NEARLY AS OLD AS T WOULD be rather wide of the faet to say that the flag of the United States is the old- est in the world, although it may be said that among modery aations the Stars and Stripes lists as ore of the oldest standards. The national]

| flag of China was announced as such to all the foreign diplomats in 1872, The present flag of Spain was adopted in 1785. The French ilag was adopted in its present form in 1794, while that or the German Empire dates back only to 1871. The flag of Italy was adopted in 1848. The United States flag antedates all of these, and may even be older than that of Switzerland, the history of which appears to be in some ob- scurity, But it is far from being “the oldest in the world.” Recognized authorities say that almost at the dawn of the world, as socun as men fel) into the way of banding themselves together for a common cause, they adopted some sort of a con- spicuous object as their symbol—a common object. about which to rally. This was particularly true in organized warlike expeditions. It can hardly be doubted thet flags, or their equivalent, were used very early in the world’s history. Among the buried remnants of early races and civilization are found records of objects which were apparently used as ensigns. These are accepted as evidence that the ancient Egyp- tian soldiers were not without their standards, The Assyrians and Jews also carried something Similar in design and purpose. According to ancient records, Darius’ chariot had two standards fastened to the yoke. We find banners, standards and ensigns mentioned often in the Bible. — Even in ancient times it is known that some sort of drapery was used for the standards, but it is considered probable that the flag, in the sense of the word as used today, did not make its appearance until the Middle Ages, and per- haps not until the practice of heraldry had reached a definite form. The Bayeux tapestry, commemorating the Nor- man conquest of England, contains many rep- resentations of the flags of the period, which were THE WORLD berne on the lances of tue knights of William’s ariny. The powerful aid of the church seems ever to have been enlisted to give sanctity to national flags, and the origin of many can be traced to a sacred banner, notably the oriflamme of France. The flags of the United States were various be- fore and after the Declaration of Independence, and even after the adoption of the Stars and Stripes these underwent some changes in the manner of their arrangement before taking their present form. A kindly newspaper man stopped a well-dressed stranger on the street in London the other day, and, begging his pardon, called the man’s atten. tion to the fact that his derby was dented. The stranger thanked him and asked for his card. The next day he received a postal order for $5. The man said he was a commercial traveler and would have lost a large order if he had called on

CEMENT INDUSTRY STILL the advance of the cement industry has been in the last few years, it is still in its infancy and that it bids fair to solve problems of living to which so far it scarcely has begun to be applied. ’ the many-another “modern” thing, cement was f. .iliar to the ancienws. .At the recent New York cement show a piece of cement taken from at ancient Roman temple, built hundreds of years before the Christian era, was exhibited. But the extensive application of the product to varied human needs has come in comparatively recent years. The words “cement,” “concrete” and “re-enforced concrete” are heard so frequently nowadays that a little excursion into records to find out what they really mean is worth the lay- T es A. EDISON believes that great as man’s trouble. Portland cement, the basis of modern concrete | work, is a manufactured product derived from limerock, clay or similar aluminous raw mate- rials. It is prepared through a process of drying, burning and grinding, so that when finished {t isa light gray powder. Every grain of this powder is made to pass through a sieve containing 40,000 holes or meshes to the square inch. Mixed with water and exposed to the air, the powder grad- ually changes into an artificia! stone, which is practically impervious to heat or cvid. The pen- etration of heat into a concrete mass is xot over three-eigntns of an inch at the highest obtainable temperature. Concrete is made up of cement, sand and crushed rock. The three materials are mixed in such proportions as will develop the highest valus for practical purposes and at the same time bring the resulting concrete within the range of buyers in the matter of cost. Re-enforced con- crete consists of concrete used in conjunction with steel re-enforcement. The object is to add the tensile value of stee! to the total mass, It is in this way that concrete columns are formed. From the small beginnings of half a century ago the cement trade has grown until last year & production of 80,000,000 barrels was reported. Concrete men predict that the present year’s pro-

- IN ITS INFANCY duction will reach 100,000,000 barrels. While its use in cities has dated from years back, conerets is now largely used in country districts as well, Fence posts of concrete are becoming common, The Department of Agriculture has recently elm culated a bulletin recommending concrete floors in all places where grain is stored. If there i ventilation and light, the experts say, corn will not mold on a concrete floor. New uses for oome crete on farms and country estates are constantly being discovered. Enthusiasts can see no limit & the use of the material for country structural work. |

OQUTSIANA 5 1 Z, Unique Campaign Waged by Dr. Uscar Dowling, President of Louisiana Health Board, Results in Literally Cleaning Up Great Southern Commonwealth # “Gospel of Health” Carried to People on Railway Cars by Medical Missionaries # War on Dirty Markets, Unclean MilK, Bad Drainage, Flies and Disease ## Now Louisiana Is En- thusiastic Over Sanitation HAPPY-GO-LUCKY child of Southern sunshine, with orange blossoms and magnolia blooms in her hair, had never been told that it was wrong to romp in the puddles, make mud pies and kick up dust with her bare feet. Along came a scientist, knowing all about germs, who eyed her with displeasure and remarked: “My, what a very dirty child!” No one had ever said such a thing to her be- ‘fore, and she didn’t like it. But the scientist seized her in his arms, bore her indoors and caused her to be scrubbed from head to foot. At first she wept indignantly. Then, as the novel feeling of cleanliness began to tingle over her even smiled and finally ‘said “Thank you” to the stern scientist. This is not merely a chi.u:en’s tale, but is an allegory of a remarkable event which has hap- pened in the South. The “child” is the State of Louisiana and the scientist is Dr. Uscar Dowling, president of tue Louisiana State board of Health. When he assumed office in August, 1910, Louis- Hiana, a land of laughing climate and roses, was dirty and didn’t care, it was said. He had the courage to tell a proud and easy-going people — that they were unclean, and told them in short, ugly words. At first he aroused resentment. Today, owing 4% to his strenuous campaign, unique in the history qf of state offi ils, the residents of Louisiana are rapidly beconiing enthusiasts on:the subject of sanitation and Dr. Dowling has won fame as “the man who washed a State.” “The conditions that were to be faced were appalling,” writes one of Dr. Dowling’s admireis. “Louisiana was deep in the jungle of insanitation. There was little regulation of food or water sup- plies, or of physical conditions. Milk was pro- duced by sickly, mangy herds in dairies where cleanliness had never been thought of. It vag conveyed and sold to the in a Way that made purity impossibie. C:ttle were slaught- ered under conditions that will not bear mention. fand the meat was sold in markets where screens and scrubbing brushes were unthought of. “Storekeepers kept their stocks of food wit. ab- : politely no thought of its condition.

Children went t school in unimproved buiiuings. ine commo): drinking cup, the pubiic ioller towel, habit-form- ing medicines, dirty streets, bad drainage, every- thing that breeds disease or communicates it. flourished in practically uncontrolled fashion.” Dr. Dowling’s first reproach to his peop: was couched in brief, pointed and vigorous language. “We have got a bad reputation,’ he said. “Other states think of Louisiana as the wome of swrps. and malaria, and mosquitoes, ana fever, and gen- unhealthiness. Wea deserve this. It’s all our own fault. Our bad reputaiuon is due not to climate, not to swamps, not to our geographical lceation, but to—dirt. Plain dirt.

And the roses were blooming, the skies were smiling and things were going pretty well as they were. The determined health officer met this lotus- land languor with energy. “If the mountain wouldn’t come to Mahomet, Mahomet would go to the. mountain.” “The people will not come to us to be shocked and awakened, so we will go to the people,” said Dr. Dowling. The result was the health exhibit train of the Louisiana State Board of Heaith, the celebrated “gospel of health on wheels.” Dr. Dowling talked the railroads into giving him two cars with which to conduct his town-to-town campaign for cleanliness. The railroads wound up by giving him three cars. Two of them were devoted to specimens showing in vivid style the between dirt and disease. In the third were the living quarters of the health force, and their home until Louisiana was washed. The following summary is given of the health tour, which began Nov. 5, 1910, and ended June §, 1911. “In this time the health special had covered 7000 miles on the eight trunk lines within the State; had stopped in 256 cities and towns—every town in the State of more than 250 inhaDitants; 660 lectures had been delivered to 120,000 persons; 2500 sanitary inspections had been made, and more than 225,000 visitors had passed through the ‘ars and had health talked to them in a manner they would not foi get. “kivery schoolhouse, jail, asylum, almshouse, practically every public institution in the State, was visited and inspected.

Palriotism Reli ROF. FRANZ BOAS, professor of anthro- pology in Columbia University and a scholar of note, believes’ that universal peace will come to earth, when it does come, by + \& gradual decrease in the number of nations that ' might go to war against each other. "44 of the solidarity of the nation he sees as a sur- i ¥ival of primitive barbarism. The feeling : In the early days “jpof mankind the earth was thinly populated: the | 4 members of each small horde were at war against '?} each other and _ at the same time decreasing in number, and na- every member of every other But as the social units increased in size. tions displaced tribes, war beceme less frequent. pt _ Throughout the centuries, declares Prof. Boas, — tt is process of the formation of larger nations 3p and fewer nations has gone on coincident with ae the lessening of the primitive feeling of specific -)f aifference between the nations. 44 Prof. Boas’ views are circulated by the Execu- "*# tive Committee of the Association for Internation- | § # Conciliation.

PAGE FOUR. of Barbarism, Says The herd of providing for “Human inventions improved. hunters learned the art of its needs. The people learned how to store up food and thus to provide for the future. With the greater regularity of the food supply and a de- creased frequency of periods of starvation, the number of members in the community increased. Weaker hordes who still followed the older meth- ods of hunting and food gathering were extermi- nated or, profiting by the example of their neigh- bors, learned their new arts and also increased in numbers. Thus the groups that felt a solidarity among themselves became larger and by the ex- termination of small, isolated hordes that re- mained in more primitive conditions the total humber of groups that stood opposed to one an- Other became gradually less. * * * “In the nations of our days in which law rules supreme we find the g eatest numbers of people united in political units that the world has seen. Here war is excluded, because all members are subject to the same law, and excessive strains in the community, that lead to internal bloodshed, have decreased in numbers * * * among those nations in Which the whole masses of the people enjoy somewhat equal advantages of education. “Thus the history of mankind shows us the grand spectacle of the grouping of man in units of ever increasing size that live together in peace better Peace Advocale and that are ready to go to war only with other groups outside of their own limits. Notwithstand- ing all temporary revolutions and the shattering of larger units for the time being, the progress in the direction of unification has been so reg- ular and so marked that we must needs conclude that the tendencies which have swayed this de- velopment in the past will govern our history in the future. * * * The practical difficulties that seem to stand in the way of the formation of still-larger units count for naught before the in- exorable laws of history.” After pointing out that nations as they exist today are held together not so much by any fancied blood relationship or racial kinship as by common emotional ideals, Prof. Boas concludes: ‘Most important of all, if we understand that the feeling of opposition to the stranger which accompanies the feeling of solidarity of the na- tion is the survival of the primitive feeiing of specific differences, we are brought clearly fac to face with those forces that will ultimatel) abolish warfare as well as legislative conflicts between nations: that will put an end not only to the wholesale slaughter of those representing a distinct ideal, but also prevent the passage of laws that favor the members of one nation at the expense of all other members of mankind.” m ui

When they were found otherwise—which was very frequently—he also said so, in words which left no possible doubt of their -meaning. Markets, stores, restaurants, jails and almshouses were or- Zered closed up or cleaned up, patent medicines were destroyed, tubercular beef burned.” Notices such as the following grew to be typi- cal: “TO THE PEOPLE OF WINNFIELD: “This is to notify you that I will discontinue my market after April 30, until I can meet the requirements of the State Board of Health, which will be only a short time. “I desire to thank my friends and customers for their past patronage and hope in the near future to be able to serve you again. “T. G. MILAM.” “Like a storm of cleanliness,” it has been said, “the doctor and his assistants went from one point in the State to another, peering into dark corners, condemning, praising, teaching. And when it was over and the special was back in the yards at New Orleans, Louisiana was glowing with a new sensation: it had been washed.” When the special arrived in a town, the health force swooved down upon the entrenchments of dirt in a s*stematic assault. Dr. Dowling hastened to inspect the water and food supply, the public buildings and sanitary conditions. Sometimes he took a handcar and trundled his way down a narrow track. Sometimes a motor car bore him into the country, sometimes a buggy, some- times he walked. Two physicians attached to tne spe ial lectured at the railroad stations end at public halls. An instructor of School and Home Hygiene—a woman —talked to the women and children. In the even- ing a moving picture show demonstrated the con- nection between dirt, flies and disease; and at this meeting Dr. Dowling stood up and boldly told the citizens what conditions he had found in their town. The following is given as representative of these talks, from which it may be seen that he did not mince matters, and called things, and persons, by their right names: “Today I inspected your town. John Jones’ dairy is bad. Bill Smith’s butcher shop is vile. Tom Johnson’s restaurant is rotten. Your jail is impossible and your schoolhouse unfit to house children. I wouldn’t care to shoulder the responsi- bility if an epidemic should break out here, which it is likely to do, if conditions remain as they are,” These public denunciations moral courage, the effect of which, recognized by the victims, went far to allay their resentment. And the doctor’s words were no empty menace. The law had invested him with power to put his ad- vice for reform into effect. In Madison Parish he ordered that the alms- house be cleaned up or torn down. It was cleaned. In one town he told the officials to scrub the jail or he would turn all the prisoners loose. It Was scrubbed. Markets, stores and butcher shops were summarily closed until they could satisfy tne regulations of the Health Board. The tour was accompanied by a fire of newe- Paper comment, mostly good natured.

the State Board of Health roasted Baton #3 severely as he did any of us.” “First thing we know,” said a country “we'll all be ashamed to be caught dirty.” Then, as the tour progressed and the news spread of Dr. Dowling’s face-to-face denunciatious of prominent but dirty citizens, local papers be- gan carrying such warnings as: “The health train is coming on April 6. will give us plenty of time to clean up.” Si-eveport, Dr. Dowling’s home town, chuckled es the other towns writhed under his apbraidings. Shreveport felt safe; the doctor would say noth- ing har=h about his own town. At a banquet given by the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce Dr. Dowling told the members s0 nany things they did not want to hear that one anguished citizen cried out: “Dr. Dowling, for God’s sake hush! milk!” The health train, although the most spectacular of Dr. Dowling’s efforts, was not the only one. Some of his achievements were the abolition of public drinking cups and towels, the appointment of traveling salesmen as deputy health inspectors, the furnishing of free anti-diphtheretic serum to the poor, the regulation of barber shops, hotels and restaurants, the registration and scoring of dairies, the regulation and control of fish ana game, the regulation of all food supplies, the screening of stores and markets and a $State- wide battle against the house, or typhoid, fly. Any citizen of Louisiana today can write to the Board of Health and learn the exact conditions under which the milk used by his family is pro- duced. Every citizen has become a_ potential deputy health inspector, and not a day passes without the arrival of many volunteer reports on sanitary conditions. These are all investigated, and if the complaint is found just the abuse is corrected. The Board of Health expects that Its work among the school children will bear the most val- uable fruit. To the “Three R’s” in the public school curriculum has been added the study of health. Every month the board sends a bulle- tin to every school child in the State. These are placed in the hands of the school superintendents for direct distribution among the children. The teachers are instructed in school and home hygi- ene, and communicate their knowledge to the mothers and children.

This is today. The trumpet has blown for Rufino Rodriqaez, and all through the McAlester coal fields is heard his praise. Rough miners are telling of the cour- age that led Rufino Rodriquez to rescue the men in No. 5 Mine at Lehigh, Ok., on Feb. 22, though at best nine lost their lives, and nearly a score were resuscitated with greatest diffi- OA sSaVe by of Was still still a longer Rodriquez, mine, LO de- Mexican, nown, svised. but no longer The Poles and (ans and marveling back upon the cer- press and grappled and strug- save lives of others culty.

His pockets have filled with money. Provision has been made for funds to pay for his education in any college he may choose, that Rufino Rodriquez may have a fair chance in life. Above all, application will be made ‘o the authorities recommending that Kod.iquez be given the Carnegie medal for bravery. It is fine to see such a thing as has happened at Lehich. The stuff that heroes are made of does not belong to race or color, nor is it pos- sessed only by those in high stations. It appears without pomp or the roll of drums, and in a flash the humblicst man has distinguished himself. And thus it was with Rufino Rodriquez, beard- less and barely more than a boy. When Rufino awoke that morning he splashed the cold water on his face and sat down to breakfast, probably in the same mechanical way he had been doing these things ever since he was a small boy. He had worked in the McAlester coal fields about six years. The town of Lehigh is immediately above the mine in which he worked, and one might think that the miners could almost hear the wagons rumbling in the streets, and the bells ringing, and the whistles blowing. and the chi'- dren of Lehigh at play. With his dinner in his tin pail Rufino passed along the sidewalks of bro- ken boards unrecognized save by men of his kind, and then along the dirt path with the rusty brown grass on either side, to the mine.

When at work, miners are scattered throughout this underground city by twos and threes and fours the chambers where the coal is being dug. Rufino Rodriquez working at the bottom of the hoisting shaft with another Mexican and two negroes. The nezroes were known as cagers, and their duty was to push loaded cars onto the cage for hoisting, and to push off the empty cars that had been sent down. Shortly before 10:30 o'clock in the morning one of the negroes went round a corner to a half-barrel of what is known as black oil, used in greasing the cars, to get vil for the axles. A moment later this negro came running back greatly excited, saying that the oi] had caught five from his lamp. The other neg:o0 ran quickly and threw an old coat over the burning oil, and it was thought that the fire had been extin- guished. Several minutes had passed, when one of the negroes looked around the corner, and saw a wall of flame where the barrel of black oil had been standing. With a shout of terror, the negro sprang for- ward to the cage, which at that moment was at the bottom of the shaft. He was followed instant- ly by the other negro ca and the two gave the usual signal the engineer on the surface that men were on the cage to be hoisted. The negroes cailed to Rufino and the other Mexican: “Hurry! Hurry! and get on and let's get out of here; the mine is on fire!” Rufino’s companion joined the negroes, and the three called reveatedly to Rufino to save himself by getting into the cage. Instead, Rufino Rodri- quez, who speaks English fairly well, shouted back: “You fellows can go out and go to thunder, but you had better go with me and help save the men!” And then Rufino Rodriquez disappeared into the sticky, oily smoke, lit by the dull red glow of ix of Ox«xlahoma. ning last taken out. bined high.

cur.ent. This caused the air to pour down into the mine through the hoisting shaft, with the re- sult that the fire and smoke, especially the smoke at this moment, were being carried rapidly to all the levels and chambers throughout the mine. It is in this smoke that imprisoned miners die, even before the fire reaches them. The smo-e becomes so thick and heavy that the lamps in the miners’ hats are extinguished: then the min- ers go stumbling blindly and aimlessly in the maze of underground passages that lead nowhere and everywhere but to safety. Then, worst of all, the deadly fire damp begins forming, and there is no breath of life; men fall in heaps, strangling end suffocating. They lie as close as possible to the ground, but without oxygen they cannot live, and they die miserably, despairingly, like rats in a trap. Rufino Rodriquez knew all these things, as he had learned by experience and from his old Mex- long a miner in this field. So Rufino ran with the smoke at his heels all the way, shouting at each chamber and wherever he thought men might be working: “The mine 18 fire at the hoisting shaft! Run for your lives! The mine is on fire at the hoisting shaft! Run for your lives!” And from the black pockets of the mine into which the _ strangling smoke was billowing and swirling poured the grimy miners, with their hat-lamps flickering dimlv in the suffocating smoke cloud that now smelled of burning coal as well as burning oil. Rufino Rodriquez had passed on, and from sight, still shouting his alarm and warning. The miners took up his cry, and repeated it one to another throughout the mine. Rufino traveled close to a mile and a half on his errand of rescue, with the thic* sm at and frequently engulfing and choking him.

This escape shaft had been ordered built last fall by Edward Boyle, State Mine Inspector, and had been finished only two weeks. Rufino, as did other miners, 'new of this shaft, and was making his way toward it. He was s0 exhausted, however, afte: traversing the mine, that he was compelled to halt tn a chamber into which the smoke had not penetrated in order to breathe and regain his strength. He remained ihere nearly 15 minutes. “Tt carried my dinner bucket filled with water,” said Rufino, “and would wet my woolen shirt, and put it over my face.

oe ee ee - - —— + R ATS USE FUL I NLESS a new lot of “‘cobayes,” guinea pigs, can be found at once, many of the ex- periments now practiced at the Pasteur Institute in Paris will have to stop, according to a recent dispatch, and great is the concern among the savants who work in the laberatories of the famous institution. For seven months the stock of small victims has been rapidly diminishing. The young doctors and students have been prodigal in their sacri- fices to the cause of science and have drawn too heavily on the reserve for breeding purposes, which has been heretofore maintained in the breeding establishment belonging to the Pasteur Institute at Garches, near Saint Cloud. ‘A's a matter of fact,” said a celebrated mem- ber of the Pasteur Institute, “if we cannot soon procure a sufficient number of cobayes our sci- entific researches will be paralyzed. if not stopped altogether. One can imagine the loss to the entire world which the cessation of the Pasteur experiments would mean. ‘We use,” continued the savant, “an avérage o’ 20,000 cobayes a year. Our breeding farm at Garches produces about 10,000 a year and each little animal thus raised only costs us about 15 N VIVISECTIO cents apiece. But our breeding reserves been seriously drawn upon. to feel the deficit, and it is one that tt ts exe ingly difficult to fill. Moreover, It Is a great pense, for the animals we are obliged to buy outside breeders cost us about 25 cents each. ‘Besides the cobayes the Pasteur inetitute about 15,000 rabbits of the ordinary sort, mice and 10,000 rats. all specially raised and pared for scientific purposes.” One may quite seriously remark that the catchers’ business in Paris is no joke, buta ey-making business. Besides the animals already named, the tories of the Pasteur Institute in their researches annually sacrifice on the altar of ence 500 monkeys of various sorta, 400 dogs, 100 t 500 chickens, nearly as many pigeons, 100 <7 sheep, 100 horses, 50 goats, 50 pigs and 20 ¢ and geese.

He did not mention that Mrs. Goodwin is the only municipal woman sleuth in the United States and New York’s first woman detective sergeant. Nor did he mention it offi- r cially that the promotion Strom police matron to detective was due to good “work for 14 years past, and especially for her in solving the mystery of the $25,000 taxi- : holdup, in which two bank messengers were Se blackjacked and robbed. Ten thugs took part in is crime, one of the most spectacular in the pry of New York. One or two are still at ~ Jarge, but the majority are behind the bars and ‘all b but one have confessed. It was Mrs. Good- ‘win'’s work that got the first line on them. « The reade: of Frefch novels as a rule imag- ‘ines that the woman sleuth is young, dashing, ed in eprightly fashion and full of nerve chic. Mrs. Goodwin is exactly the opposite. is a widow of 47—she is proud of her age— and the mother of three grown-up children. Her Rhuvsbend, John W. Goodwin, ‘was a roundsman in the department. Su: @,” laughed Inspector Hughes, head of the | De etective Bureau, “you can see Mrs. Goodwin— she's downstairs now.” “Leading the way, he walked into the room New York’s foremost sleuths gather every to get their orders for the day's work ~ and to meet their chiefs. There sat Mrs. Good- win among them. She was just as calm as you please, though it had been only the day before that she had been raised $1000 in salary and been made New York’s only woman detective. “Don’t think these are my working clothes,” She protested, settling herself in a chair, “but I've got to dress the part today.” Indeed, she dressed it. Mrs. Goodwin wore a fetching hat of blue straw tied down with a smart lace veil, a costume of bright blue cloth and satin pumps and immaculate white kid gloves reach- ing up to her elbows. She looked all the world like a society matron ready to take her limousine out for some afternoon tea. “I can’t tell you what it is,” added Mrs. Good- win, with a smilé, “but perhaps you’ll hear about it soon. But I can tell you about some other things which have been closed up.” Mrs. Goodwin was assured that no police se- crets were wanted; merely something about her- self. “Oh, that’s simple,” she ran on. “I was born in Greenwich Village—that’s the lower West Side, you know—and I live there yet. But please don’t publish my address; it wouldnt help me in my business, I’ve been in the Police Depart- ment since May, 1896, nearly sixteen years. When my husband died I had the children to support, and I decided to get into the Police Depart- ment, too. So I studied and took the examina- tion for matron. They sent me to the Macdougal Street Station, where I stayed for four years. After that I was transferred to Mercer street, and there I have been until they put me here at headquarters. “My first case? It was getting the evidence against a woman's poolroom in West Twenty- fourth street 14 years ago. No man could get so they sent for me. I had myself in- around the neighborhood until I met a who had the ent.ee there, and _ she in there, troduced woman took me. “*What do you know about horses?’ asked one of the women of me. “‘*Sleepyhead looks good to me,’ put up $5 on him. The nag’s running yet. But I gradually got all the evidence I needed. Oc- casionally a man used to call up the place and reassure everybody that everything was ail right. ‘If you get shadowed by any detective just lose yourself in a big department store. He can’t follow you there,’ was his regular tip to us “One woman told me she had been rich once, but that the horses had gotten practically all her money. ‘Sometimes,’ she said to me in a burst of confidence, ‘I have to bet my socks!’ Well, I had enough between the third and fourth races one day to have the place raided. I walked around to the Grand Opera House, at Eightn avenue and Twenty-third street, and there I met a police captain. Everything was all arranged. I told him about the betting, how many women were there and just how to get in. Then I went back to the poolroom. “My, I never saw such excitement in my life as when I heard the police battering down the doors. The women ran around tike hens with- out their heads. These gambler ladies really hadn’t a drop of sporting blood left. When they were arrested they began to scream, and so did I—but on purpose. I was arrested, too, but as they were piling the prisoners in the patrol wagon 1 was allowed to disappear. We got a conviction, all right. “The seances to which I have been are in- numerable, but I never saw a real ghost. Many a time I have sat in a developing class waiting said I, and |! for something to materialize, but there was always one little thing wrong. I guess I’ve had as many fake mediums arrested as any man detective in New York. “One of the best was a Hindu. He was dressed in robes and a turban ind when I walked in he locked the catch on the door. Then he began rubbing my arms. “*Your business vibrations are tll right,’ he began, “but your mag- netic vibretions are all wrong. Are you afraid?’ I told him I wasn’t. Then he said: ‘I can plainly see the ‘eason why you are not married’— and I a widow with three children. ‘For $50 I can cause you to marry the man you are interested in. Bring me some article he hag han- dled — a_ knife, a handkerchief, pocketbook and [| will guarantee that in 30 days you marry him.’ He was arrested and held in $1000 to keep the peace. “McCurda was one of my best cases. He was the minister of a spirit church, he said, and gave me a reading. He said he could see my mother and sister in the spirit world. As a matter of fact, my mother was living and I never had x sister. He told me the most won- derful, glowing stories of the spirit world and of my spirit friends there. “*They are advising you to invest In a stock, he said, ‘with which we will raise the money to build a spirit church. It only costs a dollar a share now, but goon it will rise to $10 a share. Won't you take some thares of this wonderful church?’ “T told him I woure nahuaoull I came NEW KRUPP ‘GUN To back the next time, and then he drew me closer to him and wh’'s- pered: ‘I can see it all. You are stoical from lack of companionship. My wife and I are congenial; you and I could be. Won’t you give me your address so that I can call?’ In- stead of letting him have my ad- dress, I made my report to the cen- tral office and our spiritual friend was held in $300 bonds to keep the peace. “He was just like all the rest of them—a mere faker. Not one of them told the truth, and all of them assumed that I wanted a husband, which I did not. They just impose on gullible, ignorant human nature. And many of these poor people, after heing fooled once, come back time and again. “In all I have had about 500 cases. I have been hypnotized for stutter- ing-—it took me cvite some time to learn to stutter before I went to the place. I have taken the magnetic treatment and the electrical treat- ment. I lay on a table to be operated on by a fake woman physician, but changed my mind just as she was about to start with her knife. I have visited so many palmists I can’t remember their names. “T have sat with the crystal gazers and watched them look into a glass ball until they knew all about my life, past, present and future.

I have had some ) husbands found for me in the tte SHOOT AT AIRSHIPS RUPP artillerists devised a field K gun mounted on a 90-horse- power auto that could race around anywhere and elevate its muzZ- zie straight at the zenith, if neces- sary, when airships and aeroplanes began to look dangerous for war. “What if they have!” laughed the aeroplane people. ‘How are they go- ing to get the range, and what use is a cannon if it hasn’t the range?” It looked pretty bad for the gun. So sensitive are modern field guns that they shoot as straight as a rifle and don’t fire projectiles in parabolic curves any more—in other words, you have got to have the range of what you are shooting at in order to hit. A shot that goes an inch wide ig just as futile in landing your aeroplane as if you missed it by a mile. “Oh, very well,” said the artillery people. ““‘We will find out where our shots are going. Let us stay on solid ground and take pot shots at you and we don’t care how many bombs you drop. We'll take the range.” And get it they did. It was matter of putting a few pounds of some chemical compound in a shell which blazed out of its base the mo- ment it was fired and showed just where the shot was going by the line of highly colored smoke it left be- hind. Perhaps the first shot was a miss, and perhaps the second and third, but every shot was leaving be- hind its telltale trail of smoke and the little range finders of the artillery were getting closer and closer to ac- curacy, “Bang!” This time it went true and the line of smoke ended in shattered balloon, bursting into a blaze and drifting down to earth. Of course there have just a f been no shots fired at an aeroplane, because they need men manacze them, and the aviator’s seat would be no place for anybody in these times of peace if a Krupp were firing at him 1000 yards below. Rut unniloted bal- loons have been let loose and fired at by the new guns, and the second shot now usually does the business. One miss tells the gunners how to aim— whether high or low. The is to rest PASV. It is now up to the air people to take the next step, as doubtless they will. Uncle Sam has artillery shells that leave a smoke trail behind, but this is a Government secret.

After the first heavy snow, sheaves of wheat, one sheaf to a tree are tied upright around the trunks. the tops bent over, and loose food strewn in all directions to attract the birds. When a new snow comes, the birds go underneath the bent-over tops and find the food, the snow never com- nietely covering it.

There is an eminent New York phy- sician who has had over 32 years of experience and who does not hesitate to assert that he has a remarkably suc cessful home treatment for deafness and head noises, such as buzzing, ring- ing, ete., in the ears. This successful specialist is Dr Coutant, a diplo mated, certificate! and regist ere physician who ha: served the U. §S Government as : medical officiz and who has hel: other high pos! tions. This nots oe | physician mak some very straig forward and r markable state- ments, all of which he announces he is ready to absolutely prove to those who desire to know the truth. Dr. Coutant states that the only true method of conquering deafness com- pletely is by removing the causes of it. In nine cases out of every ten, the Doctor claims the cause is an inflam- mation of membranes of the ear or passages thereto. He asserts that the dominating enause of deafness is one that can, in most cases, be reached by means akin to those provided by Nature, applied ex- ternally. He is opposed to the old sys- tems of drugging; he proves that vi- bration, kotalizing and other ap yy. tions are by far the most successful WHY PEOPLE REMAIN DEAF Dr. Coutant explains how people try one doctor, hospital or remedy after another, yet are never cured of their deafness. Most ear specialists resort to powerful drugs, electric batteries, alco- holic tonics, use of surgical instruments and catheters. Dr. Coutant says: ‘‘ Let me treat a dozen or a thousand deaf persons in their own homes, they need never come near my office nor see me. They need never swallow a teaspoonful of medicine or submit to any surgical operation. I am confident that double as many of those deaf persons will regain their hearing by my method as if they were treated in specialists’ offices or in hospitals.’’ Dr. Coutant has written a treatise. [t is a most interesting book, giving a yreat amount of valuable information Many have said it is worth its weight in gold. Asa special gift to our read- ers the Doctor has decided to give a copy of his new treatise, free to every one who applies. HE WILL GIVE IT FREE There will be no charge whatever for this valuable work on the subject of deafness, head noises, their causes and how to cure them at home in the quie- tude of one’s room, speodily, safely and lastingly. To obtain this book free, it is on necessary to write to Dr. George Coutant, 66 C, Station E, New York, N. Y. The treatise will be sent in plain wrapper, postpaid, free of cost. Those who are deaf (or becoming so), as well as those who are interested in others thus afflicted, should take this oppor- tunity; as it may not be given again. The Doctor is an honorable, reliable deafness expert whose greatest pleasure in fe is in enabling deaf people to re- gain perfect hearing. A letter addressed to him as above, asking for his treatise. will bring it promptly and he will cheer- fully give his opinion without. charge.

GETTING READY FOR EASTER PARADE HE first thought of Miss Spring Fa '’*~ when Easter looms in view, concerns tl. final touches to her tailored suit. Whethe, she dwell in New York or Paris, a tailored suit she must have, from the severely plain manish models to the elaborate demi-tailored costumes de- manded for the more formal occasion. The general tendencies of the tailored suit for spring have already been enunciated in these columns. There is, in general, very little change from the fashions of last winter. Skirts are still narrow, plain and straight, though not unduly so. Most of them have side panels in varying form let in, and nearly all of them give the impression of being buttoned across somewhere or other. There is a hint that more elaborate gowns may even show a draped skirt effect, though as vet tnis is but a hint. The waist line -ontinues high and the new coats are siil) high waisted. The newest coats show a slight curve in at the sides and back: the bolster shape is no longer in evidence. Bodice; still follow the kimono tread, but there is a grow: ing tendency to have the sleeves set in low down on the shoulder, The majority of long and of manovish appearance. Coats are either cut away in front or lapued over to fasten at the waist. Legions of buttons are employed as trimmings on the tailor mades. together with light biaidings.

The belt is o! 1 pink velvet in a somew!:t deeper shade than the material of the dress. The lone waist, Russian blo..se style. is worthy of nctice. A delightful model is seen on Mile. de Ponzel one of the vounger actresses of the Theater Ma rigny, who wears a gown of rose-colored taffeta trimmed with cream-colored lace. The skir'! shows a rich trimming of the same taffeta shirred with a ruffle.

2S OOOH GDB MAIS Mein, ~ A cg Ty - . DISPATCH] fiction ~ Baroness Orczy Copyright, 1911, by George H. Deran Company. markable story of the devotion of a young woman to her fiance, who stands in the shadow of a _ dishonorable death. It is by the author of “The scarlet Pimpernel” and ‘Petticoat Rule.’’ Baron- ess Orczy’s new narrative of love, in this mystery of a taxicab, is intensely absorb- ing. “It begins like a dream and ends like a miracle.” The story will be told complete —one instalment for each of the five Sun- days in March—in the Fiction Section of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. A new book of fic- tion will be printed cach month the Fiction Section. _ HEART OF A WOMAN’”’ is a re- in SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS, OUISA HARRIS, a well-born, well-bred English girl, used to a prosy Nfe of luxury, while in Brussels, ig near a taxicab when it is discovered that a man in !t has been murdered, This unusual incident still haunts her memory when she returns to London, and meets Luke de Mountford, her fiance, in Battersea Park. Luke, heir to the earldom of Rad- clyffe, tells her that his bachelor uncle, Lord Radclyffe, hag received a letter from a Philip de Mountford., claiming to be a son of Luke’s late uncle Arthur. If this claim can be proven, Philip, not Luke, succeeds to the earldom. Philip is said to be the son of Arthur and a half-c-ste wife, whom he married in Martinique. Luke wanis to break the engagement for Louisa’s sake. She is determined to stand by him, not out of a mere sense of loyalty but just because she loves him too well to be influenced by any change in his fortune. Philip calls at Lord Radclyffe’s home and 1s accepted as Arthur's son by Radclyffe, an eccentric old man known to have no friends and who loves only one being, his nephew Luke. Luke and his sisters leave Radclyffe’s home and establish themselves in a flat. Luke decides it is necessary for his uncle to go to Algeciras for his health. Philip is murdered in a taxicab. Luke is again Lord Rad- clyffe’s heir. The wound in Philip’s neck is like that in the neck of the man murdered in a taxicab in Brussels. Luke is suspected of being the murderer of Philip. ford Radclyffe is prostrated. teo ill to talx of the case. In the meantime, Luke and Louisa, puppets of English convention. which scorns a show of emo- tion in public or the wearing of one’s troubles in view of others, continue their everyday social life to all outward appearances as if nothing serious is threatened. Lousia’s father interviews her Uncle Kyder, police head, and Ryder shows him LukKe’s snakewood stick. with a concealed dagger in its head. Luke's initials are on the stick, found near the scene of the tragedy, and the dagger is red-stained. Philip “and Luke quarreled just before the tragedy. The evidence ig against Luke. Ryder believes Luke is guilty of murder, The testimony at the coroner’s hearing potnts to Luke as the murderer of Phillip. Then a bricklayer testifies that he and his family have identified the body of Philip ag that of his son, Pau! Baker, who had long away from Ryder is convinced that Luke’s only chance to escape the gal- lows is by flight or suicide.

OUISA knew the flat in Exhibition road very well. she had helped Edie to furnish it, and to make it pretty and cosy, for Edie’s passion was for dogs and for golf; drawing-room chairs and saucepans were not much in her line. So Louisa had chosen prac- tically everything—the piano, as well as the coal gcut- tles, and every stick of furniture in Luke’s room. ACT Tonight she went up the well-known stairs very slow- lv: she ached so in every limb that she could scarcely walk. She seemed to have aged 20 years in two days. Edie was sitting alone in the pretty drawing room buried in a capacious arm-chair, her hands folded before her. The room was in darkness save for the glow of the firelight. She jumped up when Col. Harris and Louisa were announced and the neat servant In black dress and smart cap and apron switched on the electric light. “Oh,” suid poor little Edie impetuously, thankful you've come!” “I am 50 She ran up to Louisa and put her arms round her, kissing her. “Do come and sit with me,” she continued, loath to re- linquis® Col. Harris’ hand after she had shaken it, “I feel that in this solitude I shall go dotty.” Whilst she spoke, she detached with nervous, febrile movements Louisa’s fur from round her neck, and drag- ged the older woman nearer to herself and to the fire Then she threw herself down on the hearth rug, squat- ting there in front of the fire, with nervous fingers pick- ing at the fringe of the rug. Her cheeks were red and blotchy wt» traces of recent tears, her hair, towzled FICTION SECTION- -ST. LQUIS POST-DISPATCH- -MARCH 24, 1912. “The deceasea is my own son, Paul Baker, sir!” and damp, clung to her moist temples. Suddenly she burst into a torrent of weeping. “Oh, Lou! what does it all mean?’ she exclaimed be- tween heavy sobs. “What does it all mean? They say Luke has murdered that odious Philip! and I have been cooped up here for two days now, not daring to go out! ashamed to face anyone! and Luke—Luke—oh!” The outburst was almost hysterical. The young girl was obviously fearfully overwrought, and had endured a severe nerve-strain by not having the means. of giving vent to her feelings. Col. Harris, with all an English- man's horror of feminine scenes, was clearing his throat, looking supremely uncomfortable all the time. Louisa impatiently, iM tie, you mustn't lixe that! Be quiet now!” she dded more severely seeing that the girl made effort to control herself. “What will your servants think?” “Do yuu suppose,” retorted Edie, “that I what they think? They can't think more, can thev? when they all talk of LuKe as 1! were a murderer.” “Do for God’s sake be silent, Edie. This is too awful.” And Louisa, dragged herself away from the girl's embrace. She had tried hard for two days nights to keep herself gether.-and her nerves in check. All day today had been one long continuous battle against the danger of “breaking down,” that bugbear of the conventional woman of the world. Now this danger, backed up by this poor child's grief, loomed greater than ever, now-—now—that “breaking down’ would became a positive sin, the most abject form of eowardice. But Edie’s bewilderment, her loneliness, were intensely pathetic. had tried to severe, and insisted on checking the eccess of hysteria, but her heart went out to the child, and to her puzzlement in face of this awful, un-understanable riddle. “Took here, Edie,” she said gently, putting her own kind arms round the quaking shoulders of the younger are just going to show father and me how can be. You are Luke's nearest and dearest one on earth; you must not add to his troubles by this exaggerated show of grief. We'll all have to be brave —all of us—but Luke will have to be the bravest of us all, and we must all do our best to keep up our courage, and help his own.” She was not accustomed to making such long speeches, nor yet to preach and to admonish. Life, before now, had never placed her in the necessity of admonishing others; everybody round her—the people with whom she came in contact always behaved very much as they should—in the proper conventional worldly manner, People she had hitherto to do with, did not give way to hysterical tears, nor had they occasion to disnlay forti- tude in the face of an overwhelming moral shock. Therefore Loutsa was not sure if words would carry weight, or if they would produce the effect she de- sired. She gazed anxiously at Edie whilst she spoke, looking with hopeful yet fearful eyes in the poor girls “Sh'—sh!” admonished “be quiet, on fo no care he almost roughly, hysterical and two SO to- Louisa be girl, “you brave you SO her Bese, kA ve skint eli na ie ca et i FE abhi Rie CR BPN ae ia Sea face, wondering if she had succeeded in calming the hysterical outburst. Edie hung her head, wilfully veiling her eyes be- neath the drooping lids. She twirled her gossamer hanid- kerchief into a tight wet ball and toyed with it nerve ously. "ae @ tones so not much good,” she said at last, in very low that Louisa had some difficulty in hearing what ‘my to be brave—when Luke is such @ she sxid, y trying coward!” “Be quiet, Edie.”’ retorted Louisa, all her kindness and svmpathy gone, and pushing the girl roughly away from het. “You have ro right to talk like that.” “Well, Col Harris,’ rejoined Evie, turning to the man distress, “I ask you, if it isn’t just cowardice to now, and leave me and Jim to face the whole alone?” “To run away? What do you mean” ‘lacing her hand on the girl's sho turn round and to face her, “Who's running away?’ queried frown. ‘Luke,” said Edie hotly, “is running away He came home just now, and calmly told me that he was going off tonight, and since then he has been shut up in his room, packing his things. I have been all alene here all day. Jim won't be home till late tonight. Poor old Jim! what a fearful home-coming it will be for him.* But to this renewal of Edie’s lamentations, Louisa had not listened, only to the words: “Like gaid that he was going abroad tonixzht!” Luke—fugitive from lievable picture which now had become a reality. “Where's Luke?” him.” “No, father,” interposed speak to Luke.

He could not of course see her distinctly, as her figure was silhouetted against the light in the passage behind her: that was ho doubt the reason why he did not rise to greet her when she entered, but remained seated at his desk. “May I come in, Luke?’ she asked. “Certainly,” he replied. “I was just writing to you.’ “Then give me your unfinished letter, and tell. me what else you were going to write.” “Oh! I had only got as far as your name,” pointing to the empty page before him. “Was it so difficult then,” she asked, “to tell me every- thing?” She had come forward into the room, and stood beside his desk, one hand resting upon it, her face looking down at the letter which he had not yet begun to write. He still made no attempt to rise, for now her face was in tull golden light, and he could see its every feature. “It is so difficult,” he said, “not to write drivel when @ne is saying good-bye.” “You are going away?” she asked. “Yes.” “Tonight?” "In half an hour.” “You are going abroad?” “Certainly.” “Why?” This last question came abruptly, in harsii, trenchant tenes, altogether different to those of her smooth con- tralto voice.

There’s Uncle Rad to consider first and foremost, then Edie, and Jim, and Frank.” “What have they to do with it?’ “Everything. After the evidence at the inquest today a warrant will be out for my arrest within the next few howrs.”’ “What of it?’ “The evidence against me is overwhelming. I should be tried, perhaps hanged, for murder, at best sent to penal servitude for life. I cannot chance that. I must think of Uncle Rad, of Edie, of Jim and of Frank.” “You have yourself to think of first and foremost.” “Well,” he retorted simply, “I have thought of myself, and I do not see how with my own dagger-stick brought up in evidence against me, and my ill-feeling toward — toward the dead man so well-known, I can possibly es- cape condemnation.” He spoke in such even and perfectly natural tones, thar just for a moment—it was a mere flash—Louisa wondered if he were absolutely sane. It seemed impossible that any man could preserve such calm in face of the most appalling fate that ever threatened human being. She, too, like the indifferent, hide-bound official this after- noon was selzed with an irrepressible desire to break through that surface of ice.

Without saying another word, quietly and simply she came down on her knees. Her skirts had not swish- ed as she did so, not a sound from her revealed the mevement. When he looked up again. her face Wus On @ level with his, and her eyes—those great lumi’ ous eyes that shed no tears at moments such as _ this—looked straight into his own, “For pity’s sake, Lou,” he said, “don't make a drivel- ing coward of me now.” And he rose, pushing his chair aside, leaving her there, Kneeling beside the desk, humbled and helpless, And he retreated within the shadow of the room. “Luke,” she said, imploring him, “you are going to tell me all that troubles you.” “Nothing,” he replied curtly, wasting your sympathy, you know. to catch.” “You are not going, Luke””’ “Indeed I am.” -ou condemn yourself for a crime which you have not committed.” “troubles me.

“Such a purposeless crime too. for killing Paul Baker.” “Luke,” she said simply, “you don’t seem to realize how you are hurting me!’ One ejaculation, “My God!” escaped him then. He stood quite still, in the shadow, and presently his hand wandered with the old familiar gesture down the smooth back of his head. She remained on her knees and after awhile he came back to her, and sat down on the chair beside the desk, his eyes on a level with hers. and that’s all about it. I have got to, do you under- stand? The consequences of this crime cannot be faced —not by anyone—not by me. There’s Uncle Rad to think of first. He is broken and ill; he has more than one foot in the grave. The trial and the scandal couldn't be kept from him; it would be bound to leak out sooner or later. It would be too big a scandal, and it would kill him outright. Then, you see, Lou, it would never do! I should be Earl of Radclyffe and a felon—it wouldn't do, now would it? Who has ever heard of a peer under- going a life sentence—or being hanged? It wouldn’t do —yow know it wouldn’t do” reiterated this several times, with quaint insiat- ante, as if he were discus8sing with her the possibility or impossibility of attending a race meeting, or a ball in Lent, she proving obstinate. She did not reply, leaving him to ramble on in his somewhat wild speeeh, hoping that if she bet him talk on uninterruptedly, he would sooner. or later betray something of that enigma which lay hidden behind the wooden mask which he still so persistently wore. “Besides,” he continued, still arguing, “there’s Frank to think of—the next heir te the title. I believe that people in penal servitude live an unconscionable time— especially if they are wanted to die. Think of poor old Frank waiting to come into his own—into an old title held by a felon, It is all much too much of a muddle, Lou. It is simpler that I should go” “But,” she said, really trying now to speak as sim- ply, as calmly as he did himself, “all these arguments which you are using now, Luke, will equally apply if you make yourself a fugitive from justice.” “Oh, I shouldn’t be that for very longY’ he said lightly. “You are thinking of suicide?” “No,” he replied simply, “I am not. Only ef the chances of a wandering life.’’ “You seem to look at every chance, Luke, except one," “Which one is that?” : “Fhat tlovgh you might be arrested, though syou might be accused and even tried for the murder of—of that man—truth might come out, and yeur innocence proved.” “That would be impossible, Lou,” he said quietly. “Why—in heaven’s name, Luke!” she exclaimed pas- sionately, “why?’ “My dagger-stick was found inside the railings of the park—and the stains on it are irrefutable proofs.” “That's only ofrcumstantial evidence,” she argued, “you can demolish it, if you choose.” “I cannot,” he replied. “I should plead guilty—Mr. Dobson says that if I plead guilty, counsel can plead extenuating circumstances—intense provecation and so forth—and I might get a more lenient sentence,” “Luke,” she said, looking him straight in the face, compelling his eyes to meet hers, for in their clear depths she meant to read the truth, to compel the truth at last. He had never lied in his life. If he lied now she would know it, she would read it in his face. “Luke! you are shielding some one by taking the crime on your own shoulders.” . But -his eyes remained perfectly clear and steady as they gazed straight into hers. There was not a shadow in them, not a quiver, as he replied quietly: “No, Lou, I am shielding no one.” “It was you who killed that man—Phflip de Mount- ford—or Paul Baker—whoever he may be?’ And he answered her firmly, looking steadily into her face: “It was L.” She said nothing more then, but rose to her feet, and went quite close up to him. With a gesture that had no thought of passion in it, only sublime, motherly love, she took Luke’s head in both her hands and pressed it to her heart. “My poor old Luke!” she murmured. She smoothed his hair as a mother does to an afflicted child; the motherly instinct was up in arms now, even fighting the womanly, the passionate instinct of a less selfless love. She bent down and kissed his forehead, “Luke,” she said gently, “it would do you such a lot of good if you would only let yourself go.” He had contrived to get hold of her hands; those hands which he loved so dearly, with their soft, rose-tinted palms and the scent of sweet peas which clung to them. His own hot fingers closed on those small hands. She stood before him, tall, elegant—not beautiful! Louisa Harris had never been beautiful, nor yet a fairy princess of romance—only a commonplace woman! A woman of the world, over whose graceful form, her personality even convention invariably threw her mantle—but a woman for all that—with a passion burning beneath the crust of worldly sang-froid—with heart attuned to feel every quiver, every sensation of joy and of pain. A woman who loved with every fibre in her—who had the supreme gift of merging self in love—of giving all, her soul, her heart, her mind and every thought—a woman who roused every chord of passion in a man’s heart—the woman whom men adore! And now as Luke de Mountford held her hands, anid she stood close beside him, her breath coming and goinz in quick gasps, with the suppressed excitement of latent self-sacrifice, her eyes glowing and tearless, he half slid from the chair on which he was sitting, and one knee was on the ground, and his face turned up to hers. He almost smiled, as she repeated, with a little sigh: “Tf you would only let yourself go!” “If I would let myself dwindle down to the level of @rivelling fools,” he said. “God knows, Lou, it would be easy enough now, when I hold those lovely little hands of yours, and the scent of sweet peas which comes from your dear self reminds me of summer, of old- fashioned gardens of enduring peace. Lou! I dare not even kiss your hands, and yet my whole body aches with the longing to press my lips to them. You see how easily I drift into being a drivelling fool? Would to God I could He on the ground here before you, and feel the soles of your feet on my neck. How lucky slaves were itn olden days, weren’t they? They could kneel before their mistress and she would place her naked foot upon their necks. Iama drivelling fool, you see—I talk and talk and let the moments slip by—I am going, Lou, and this is the Vision which I am taking with me, the last impression which will dwell in my memory, when memory itself will seem only a dream. You, Lou, stand- ing just here, so close to me that your sweet breath fans my cheek, your dear hands in mine, the scent of sweet peas in my nostrils). The light of this lamp throws a golden radiance over you, your lips are quiv- ering—oh! ever so slightly, and your eyes reveal to me the exquisiteness of your soul. Lou, I am a lucky mortal to have such a vision on which to let my meim- ory dwell!” She listened in silence, enjoying the delight of hearing him unburdening his soul at last. His love for her! Neyer had it seemed so great and so pure, now that he spoke of parting! And there was a quaint joy in hear- ing him thus rambling on—he, the reserved man of the Fancy being hanged FICTION SECTION. ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—MARCH 24, 1912. at meme world. Convention had se oftem sealed his lips, ani re- strained his passion when he was still wandering hap- pily with her en the smooth paths of love. Now fate had hurled stone upon stone dowm that path. The way was rugged and difficult, parting teo, was close at hand; all the restraint of past months tore at the barrier of con- vention. Luke about to lose the mortal presence of his love, allowed his lips to say that which he had hidden in his heart for so long. The man of the world lost himself in the man who loved When he had eeased speaking she said quietly: “You talk, Luke, as if we were going to part.” “Tonight, Lou. I must catch the night boat to Calias.” “My luggage can be sent on,” she rejoined simply. “I am quite ready to start.” “To start?” he repeated vaguely. “Why, yes, Luke,” she replied with a smile, “if you €o tonight, or at any time, I ge with you.” “You cannot, Lou!” he stammered, almost stupidly, feeling quite bewildered, for he had been forcibly drag- ged back from a happy dreamlike state, to one of im- possible reality. “Why not?” “You have said it yourself, Low I shall be a fugitive from justice . ..a man with whom me decent woman would care to link her fate.” “Let us admit then,” she said almost gaily, “that I am not a decent woman, for my fate ig irretrievably linked with yours.” “This is preposterous -” he began. But already she had interrupted him, speaking quietly in that even, contralto voice of hers which he loved to hear. “Luke,” she said, “you must try and understand. You must, because I have so fully made up my mind, that nothing that you could say would make me change. it, unless you told me that you no longer loved me. And this,” she added with the ghost of a smile, “you cannot now pretend, Luke, alter all that you said just now. It is not that my mind wanted making up. My mind has very little to do with it all. It knows just as my heart does that I could not now live without you. Tm not talking nonsense, Luke, and I seem to be too old for mere sentimental twaddle; therefore, when I gay that I could not now live parted from you, I say it frem the innermost conviction of my heart. Sh—sh—dear,” she whispered, seeing that he wished to interrupt her, “don’t try and say anything just yet—not just yet—until I have told you everything. I want you to remember, Luke, that I am no longer very yourg, and that eves since I can remember anything, I have loved yeu, I must have loved you even though I did not know it. But if you had never spoken of love to me, if you had never written that letter which I received in Brussels, I probably would have been satisfied to go on with mv humdrum life to the end of time; who knows? I might have found contentment if net happiness, by and by with some other man. We women are meant to marry. Men are fond of telling us that our on!iy mission on earth is to marry. But all this possible, quiet content one letter has dissipated. I could never be happy now, never, save in continuing to love you. Life to me would be unspeakably hideous without you and your love. Therefore, I say, Luke, that you have no longer any right to keep me at arm’s length You have no right, having once come into my life, having once given sub- stance and vitality to my love, to withdraw yourself away from me. Love, dear, is a bond, a mutual bond, as sacred, as binding as any that are contracted on this earth, You—when you wrete that Ietter, when first you spoke to me of love—entered into a bond with me, You have no right to force me to break it.” The mellow tones of her contralto voice died down in the heavy atmosphere of the room, They echoed and re- echoed in the heart of the man, whg was how kneeling before Louisa, as he would before the Madonna, dumb with the intensity of emotion which her simple words, the sublime selfishness of her sacrifice had brought to an almost maddening pitch. She stood there near him, so devoted, so noble, and so pure, do you wonder or will you smile, when you see him with fair, young head bowed to the ground pressing his Hips on the point of her shoe? “Luke! don’t,” she cried in passionate sympathy. She understood him so well, you see! “Kiss your feet, dear?” he asked. “I would lie down in the dust for your dear feet to walk over me. _I onty wonder why God should love me so that he gave vou for this one beautiful moment to me. Lou, my dearest saint, I cannot accept your sacrifice. Dear heart! dear, dear heart! do try and believe me, when I say that I cannot accept it. As for imagining that I don’t under- stand it and appreciate it, why as soon think that to- morrow’s sun will never rise. I worship you, my saint! and I worship your love—the purest, most tender senti- ment that ever glorified this ugly world But its sacri- fice I cannot accept. I cannot. I would sooner do that most cowardly of all deeds, end my life here and now, than be tempted for one single instant into the cowardice ef accepting it. But the memory of it, dear, that I will take with me. Do not think of me in future as being unhappy. No man can be unhappy whose heart is fed on such a memory!” He had her two hands imprisoned in his, the scent of sweet peas floating gently to his nostrils. As he buried his lips in their fragrant soft palms he was entirely happy. The world had fioated away from him He was in a land of magic with her; in @ land where the air was filled with the fragrance of sweet peas, a land of phantasmagoria, the land of Fata Morgana, which none can enter save those who love. Time sped on, and both had forgotten the world. The fire crackled in the hearth, the clock alone recorded the passing of time. The noise of the great eity—so cruel to those who suffer—came but as faint echo through the closely drawn curtains. There was a discret knock at the door, and as no repiv came from within, it was repeated more insistently. Luke jumped to his feet, and Louisa retreated into the shadow. “Come in!” said Luke. The door was opened, quite softly from outside, an the well-drilled servant said: “Two gentlemen to see you, sir.” “Where are they, Mary?” he asked. “In the hall, sir?” “Did they give thelr names?” “Se. sit." * “Where's Miss Edie, Mary?” “In the drawing room, sir. with Col Harris.” “Very well. Then show the two gentlemen into the dining room. I'll come in a moment” “Very good, sir.” And the discreet little maid retired, closing the door after her. CHAPTER XXXIV. WHICH SPEAKS ONLY OF FAREWELLS. HE door had scarcely closed, and already she wus near him. “Luke,” she whispered, and her voice was hoarse now and choked, “the police! he said. “I thought that they t “That’s about it,” meant to let me get away.” “So father understood from Sir Thomas Ryder. will you do, Luke?” “T can’t do anything, I am afraid.

Luke—a fugitive from’ justice—was a picture on which it was intolerable to look. But now the womaa- ly instinct rose up im revolt, at the very thought that he should be arrested, tried and condemned! What mate tered if he were a furgitive, if he were ostracized an@ despised? what mattered anything so long as he lived and she @ould be near him? A very little while age, she woud have done anything te keep him from gol she almost longed for his arrest and the publicity the trial. She was so sure that truth would surely com® out, that his innocence would of necessity be proved. But now, woman-like, she only longed fer his safe and forgetting all the tradition ef her past life, all t old lessons of self-restraint, forgetting everything ¢Z- cept his immediate danger, she clung to him with alJ the true passion im her, which she neo longer tried te keep in check. “No, Luke,” she murmured in quick, jerky tones, “it ig not too late—not at all too late. You stay in here quietly and Ill ask father te go and speak to them, He'll tell them that you haven’t come home yet, and that he ts waiting here for you himself. Father ts well known; they wen’t suspect him of shielding yeu; and in the meanwhile you ean slip out easily; well send your lugsage on. You ean write and let us know where you are—it is quite eagy—and not too late” Whilst she spoke, shé wag ually edging toward the door. Her voice had gunk @ hoarse whisper, fof maddening terror almost deprived her of speech. With insistent strength she would not allow him to detain her, and he, whilst trying to hold her back, was afraid of hurting her. But at the last when she had almost reach- ed the door, he contrived to forestall her, and before she could guess his purpose he had pressed a finger on the button of the electric bell She heard the distant tinkle of the bell, and this made her pause. “What is it, Luke? she asked. “Why did you ring?” “For your father, dear,” he replied simply. “Then you will do what I want you to?” she rejoined eagerly, “you wiH go away?’ He gave no immediate answer, for already the maid's footstep was heard along the passage. The next moment she was knocking at the door. Luke went up to it, gently forcing Louisa back into the shadow behind him, “Mary,” he said, with his hand on the latch of the door, holding it slightly ajar, “just ask Col. Harris to come here, will you?” “Yes, sir.” The girl was heard turning away, and walking back briskly along the passage Then Lake faced Louisa once again. He went up to her and without a word took her in his arms. It was a supreme farewell and she knew it. She felt it in the quiver of agony which went right through him as he pressed her so close—so close that her breath nearly left her bedy and her heart seemed to stand still. She felt it in the geveet, sad pain of the burning kisses with which he covered her face, her eyes, her hair, her mouth. Jt was the final passionate embrace, the irre- vocable linking of soul and heart and mind, the parting of earthly bodies, the union of immortal souls. It was the end of all things earthly, the beginning of things eternal. She understood and her resistance vanished. All that had been dark to her became suddenly transfigured and illumined. With the merging of earthly passion into that love which fs God’s breath, she—the pure and self- less woman, God’s most perfect work on earth — be- came as God, and knew what was good and what had been evil. Neither of them spoke; the word “farewell” was not uttered between them. His final kiss was upon her eyes, and she closed them after that, the better to imprint on her memory the vision of his face lit up with the divine fire. o&an unconquerable passion, The entrance of Col. Harris brought them both bacs to present reality. He, poor man, looked severely troubled, and distinctly older than he usually did. “Did you want me, Luke?” he asked. “Yes, sir,” replied the latter, “the police are here, and I thought that perhaps you and Louisa would be so kind as to take Edie along with you. Jim is going to sleep in barracks tonight, and Edie ought not to stay here alone.” “Yes. We'll take Edie,” said the Colonel curtly, “she'll be all right with us. Are you ready, Lou?” “Yes, dear,” she replied. And she passed out of the door without another word, or another look. The supreme farewell had been spoken. Further words —even another kiss—would have almost desecrated its undying memory. The two men remained alone, and Col. Harris without any hesitation held out his hand to Luke de Mountford “The police are here, sir,” said Luke, without taking the hand that was offered him. “I know they are,” muttered the other, “that’s pe reason why you should refuse an old friend’s hand.” Then as Luke—hesitating no longer—placed his burn- ing hand in that of his friend, Col Harrig said quietly, almost entreatingly: “It’s only a temporary trouble, eh, my boy? You cas easily refute this abominable charge, and prove your innocence?” “IT think not, sir,” replied Luke. “I cannot refute the charge and my innocence will be difficult to prove.” “But you are mad, mn!” retorted the older man hotlys, “You are mad! ang are breaking a woman's heart!” “Heaven forgive me for that, sir. It is the greatest crime.” Col. Harris smothered a powerful oath. Lake's att tude puzzled him more and more. And his loyalty hag received such a succession of shocks today that it woul@ have been small wonder if it had begun to totter at last He turned away without another word. But at the door he paused once more—in obvious hesitation. ‘“There’s nothing else I can do for you?” he asked, “Nothing, sir. Thank you.” | “You—you were not thinking—of’———— 1 “Of what, sir?’ asked Luke. : Then as he saw the other man’s eyes wandering to the drawer of the desk, he said simply: “Of suicide, you mean, sir?” Col. Harris nodded. “Oh, no,” rejoined Luke. And he added after a slighé pause: “Not at present.” ! “What do you mean by that? “I mean that I shouldn't exactly hang for the murder of the Clapham bricklayer. I shouldn’t let it come te that. I am sorry I did not manage to get away tonight, I thought they meant to let me.” “I think they did mean to. Some blunder I gupposs on the part of the subordinates.” “JT suppose so.” “Well, Luke,” said Col. Harris with a deep sigh, % have known you ever since you were a child, but, by G——d, man! I confess that I don’t understand you.” “That’s very kindly put, sir,” rejoined Luke with the semblance of a smile. “You have every right to cal] me a confounded blackguard.” “I shall only do that after your trial, my boy,” saié the other. “When I have heard you confess with your own lips that you killed that 4—d scoundrel in a mee ment of intense provocation.” | PAGE THREE. a aes m—P % 2 aad ae Sa tari Bs i mo oe > PE ee ee ae a i — Se ee ae ithe. + m

T did not take poor little Edie very long to get her things on and to make ready to go away with Col. Harris and Louisa. Something of the truth had to be told to her, and we must do her the jus- tice to state that when she understood the full strengta \ of the calamity which had befallen her and Luke, some- é thing of her brother's calm dignity showed itself in her ; ewn demeanor. :

She pulled herself together with remarkable vigor, : and before Mary, t':e maid, she contrived to behave just ; as if nothing of grvat importance had occurred. “[T am going to dine out tonight, Mary,” she said quite calmly, “and I mayn’t be home until sometime tomor- row. So don’t sit up for me.” “No, miss,” replied Mary demurely, who kept her own counsel, like the well-drilled, good-class servant that she was. “And tell cook that Mr. de Mountford won't be in either, nor Mr. Jim. I'll see her tomorrow and let her know when we all come back.” “Very good, miss.” Louisa gave ungrudging admiration, and whispered Praise to the vo'ng girl. She was proud of Edie’s be- 2 havior, and grateful to her, too. This atmosphere of reserve did her good. She could not huve endured a Beene of weeping, and keep her own nerves in check all the while. It was close upon 8 o’clock when at last they reached the Langham Hotel. Col. Harris ordered the dinner to be served in the private sitting room. Of course none fot them could eat anything.
