"And there is another, Hiram/' re marked the good woman, as the recital flowed on. "I don't believe tlu Smiths are as religious as they used to be." "They ain't?" responded Hiram with a surprised expression. "Whal makes ye think that?" "Well, it's just this way," returned Mrs. Jones. "For more than 25 years that big Bible of theirs was on the center table in the parlor, and now it has disappeared." "That ain't because of their religion, Mary," smiled Husband Jones.

The German converted cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm, another of those elusive raiders of commerce in the south seas, slipped into .Newport News, Va., last Sunday, and asked for fuel and provisions. Many times reported destroyed, the former North German Gloyd liner eluded the warships for eignt months while she sent merchantmen to the bottom and her otflctrs say she was forced to steal her way through a tleet of four allied cruisers otf this coast in order to reach this refuge. "We got in without being seen by the enemy and we can wot nut the same wav." declared her I commander, Lieut. Capt. Paul Thierfelder, tormer navigating orticer of the German cruiser Karlsrhue. When t she anchored off Old Point the Wilhelm had less than 25 tons of coal and , scant provisions for the crew of 500 men and 61 prisoners from British 1 merchant ships sunk in the South Ati lantic. The drab painted 15,000-ton . cruiser came with a record of 15 merchant ships captured, 14 of them sunk, nine British, four French and one Norwegian. The British ship Chasei hill, captured,- was allowed to proceed taking to shore more than 300 prisoners from previous raids. The value of these ships and their cargoes, officers of the Wilhelm tonight estimated at 37,000,000. Since she slipped out of New York harbor August 3, last, as German merchant and passenger saili or, the Wilhelm never touched land, , and took 960 passengers from various vessels destroyed. Most of these were ' sent to South American ports, on German ships which met the raider in response to wireless calls. The 61 now on board who will be landed here tomorrow are British sailors taken from the steamships Tamar, destroyed March 25 last, and Coleby, destroyed March 27 last. The second of the raiders brought as thrilling a story as did her predecessor, the Eitel Friedrich, writes an Associated Press correpondeni under date of Sunday. Her record of destruction, however, was accomplished with only four guns, two taken from the German cruiser Karlsrhue and two captured from the British merchant steamer Lacorentina, sunk October 7, 1914. The most connected story of the voyage from New York, 255 days in all, during which the ship never touched land, was told tonight by Over Lieut. Alb Warneke, the first officer. "We left New York August 3," said Lieut. Warneke. "Three days out, off the Bermudas, we met the German cruiser Karlsrhue. We took from her two 3-inch guns, which we mounted. Lieut. Capt. Thierfelder, navigating officer of the Karlsrhue, took com?^ An?< oHin Wp aIao took 17 111 Ctrl I U VI VU4 t. ? ? ? ? of the Karlsrhue's Junior officers and men. We made for the South Atlantic and the first ship we encountered was the British steamer Indian Prince which we sunk September 4, 1914. I want to say that Sir Edward Grey, the British premier, has been kind to us and that if Great Britain had been organized as well as we were to patrol the South Atlantic we never could have remained alive these many months. Sir Edward Grey sent us. those two big guns on our afterdeck. He sent them to us on the British Lacorentina. The Lacorentina could not use her guns because she did not have any ammunition. After we took the guns and what of her cargo we wanted, we put some bombs into her and down she went. "Some of the merchant ships we sunk with our own guns, some we blew up with bombs and in some cases we were compelled to ram the ships. "We took on board from enemy's ships during our voyage more than 20,000 tons of coal. "We made the uniforms for all our crew from cloth which we captured from the French steamship Guadaloupe, but could only find this greyblue and so you see we are strange look ig German sallormen today. From the Guadaloupe we also got shoes, leather and thousands of dollars worth of things which were on their way for the French army." JLieut. Warneke was asked if the Kronprinz Wilhelm had not hoped to get help from ahe German steamer Odenwald which was held up by the United States at San Juan, P. R., several weeks ago. He made no direct reply to the question, but declared that the action on the part of the United States in denying clearance to the Odenwald was "the worst thing America had done." "Why did you Americans not give clearance to the Odenwald?" he asked. "We heard all about it by our wireless. We did not need any newspapers. We had good wireless apparatus aboard all the time. The denial of clearance to the Odenwald was the only Dad thing America has done. You simply held that ship up in Puerto Rico until the British could come and try to catch up." Lieut. Warneke said that most of the 1,000 saiiors and passengers taken were sent from time to time by German ships to Buenos Ayres, Rio de Janeiro, Pernambuco and Santos. Three hundred and sixty from the French steamer Gualdaloupe were sent ashore at Pernambuco. Several weeks ago, the officer said, the Prinz Wilhelm was getting short of coal and supplies and some of her crew and prisoners were afflicted with beri-beri, caused by lack of vegetable food. It was hoped to get supplies from the German ship Macedonia, which was reported to have escaped from Las Palmas. This vessel, they learned, however, had been captured by British ships. This hope gone, they steamed north and were in touch with events transpiring regarding the Prinz Eitel Frederich. It was reported tonight that the Wilhelm's original destination was New York, but that warnings were given not to attempt to make that port. Although officers would not admit it, the Wilhelm is declared to have been waiting far out in the ocean off this port until the Eitel Friedrich was interned. As soon as this news reached her, she was ordered to creep in through the allied ships off the Virginia coast. Allied ships were said to be off this coast last night. The signals from four of them were plainly heard, he declared. A member of the crew of the Prinz Wilhelm, who formerly was in the United States navy, declared the ship i witnessed an encounter between the Karlsruhe and the Uritish cruiser Bristol. "When off the Bermudas," he said, "the British cruisers Bristol, Suffolk and Berwick came up and we were forced to run. While the Karlsruhe was engaging the Bristol, we were steaming straight away. We never heard from the Karlsruhe after > that except once. Our last message I from her told us that the Bristol had been damaged and was making for ' some port for repairs. The message 1 said the Karlsruhe had been only ; slightly damaged and that no one had been killed. "On November 21, we sank the French steamer Inne de Bretagne. , On December 12, just as our coal j supply again was running short we to; k possession of the British steamer Fellevue with 4,000 tons of coal. Our ' next prize was the French steamer Mont .Angel. She was empty and after , transferring her crew to our ship we sent here to the bottom. On Decem^ ber 2X we captured the British steamer Hemisphere and from her I secured 3,000 tons of coal." f "Our next capture was the British steamer Potaro, which we sent down on January i0. This vessel was in ballast. On January 14 we came up on the British steamer Highland Brae. In addition to a crew of 91, J this steamer had aboard 51 passen gers. We took what we wanted from ? her transferred crew ind passengers Vw* Vlfil luJ ?.? oml cant ?hti to the bottom. On the same day we 1 overhauled the Pritish sailing ship Wilfred M. She was loaded with , fish and potatoes and from her we , secured many provisions. "The Norwegian sailing ship Samantha, the only neutral ship we sank, was overhauled on February .'1. r This ship, we were told, had on board a cargo of wheat consigned to the British army and navy and we seat t her down because she was carrying 3 contraband of war. On February 22 we captured the British steamer t'hasehill. and after taking coal and provisions from her we put some 400 or 500 prisoners on her and told her captain to take them to the nearest port. We left her food and coal enough to make port and before putting the prisoners aboard fitted up sleeping .iccommoc'&tlons for them. She was a freight steamer but we made a regular passenger liner out of her. "While we were transferring coal the Guadaloupe with 150 men and officers and 140 passengers came up and we took here in charge. These passengers were also placed aboard the Chasehill and, after taking what we wanted from the Frenchman, we sent her down by opening her sea cocks. "We did not sight any more ships until March 34 when the Royal Mail line steamer Tamar bound from Santos to Havre was overhauled off the Brazilian coast We took off the 33 officers and men and sent the ship to the bottom. Four days later we captured the steamer Coleby which was bound from Roasiarl to St Vincent. tho la of nnmwl Iwn i tic ucn vi viiv mmjv .v-v. ... ships we now have aboard here." Describing the dash of the Wilhelm into Hampton Roads, the officer said: "After we had arrived olt the Virginia capes, a little to the north, I think, we turned due west and put on all possible steam. We started about 17 o'clock Saturday evening. From that time until 4 o'clock this morning we ploughed the sea at a rate variously estimated from 23 to 25 knots. All lights were out and it was an anxious time for us. All hands were on deck and the crew at the guns. We had notice of the internment cf the Prinz Eitel and we Judged that the enemy's ships off the capes might not be so vigilant. We steamed south, but as we got nearer the wireless told us that they were still in this vicinity." THE WANDERING FOLK Gypsies of Europe Number Nearly 900,000 Souls. "Europe has still today one utterly peaceful people, a people peaceful in action, in intent, and of peaceful contemplation," says a bulletin just issued by the National Geographic society at Washington. "According to press dispatches, this race is the only such race, but, then, it is one of the most peculiar people in the world's history?the gypsies. "Entering into the life of all nations under the sun, yet a part of no single one; mingling themselves within the highest civilizations, yet unlettered; pilgrims upon an eternal wander path, yet forever true to the ties of racial blood and to customs whose origin and significance have been fully forgotten, the gypsies is the most mysterious of all the strange elements of folkdom. "Whence they came has never been settled to a certainty. All manner of fables have been spun to explain their origin. Since they first appeared upon the stage of Europe in the Middle Ages, they have been identified with the Lost Tribes of Israel, the 'mixed multitude' that followed Moses out of Egypt, the Canannites, the Amorites, the Saracens and the Egyptians. Some have held them to be the Children of Cain, and others have decided that they were the children of the Wandering Jew and inheritors of the restless curse of their father. "The gypsies, themselves, have never professed to know who they were or where they came from, but they have shown great readiness to accept the conclusions on this subject of the people among whom they lived. It was not until the growth of comparative philology and the chance investigation of the gypsies' tongue in the beginning of the last century, that scientists concluded the gypsies to be a wandering low-caste tribe from northern India. Their language nearly resembles Sanscrit, the foundation tongue of all our western languages which has held itself purest in Indian sources. "This language they have wonderfully preserved in the face of overmastering cultures and enternal wandering. This has not been accomplished by a literature or by a close corporation. The gypsies have no literature, and their language is an unwritten one, while thoy, themselves, are scattered in small bands over the whole face of the earth, scattered even more widely than the Jfew. The gypsy calls himself 'rom,' meaning man, 'the man' of all men. His wife is 'romni;' his folk life is 'romnipen,' and his language is 'romanl.' Everyone not of his race come under the generic term of 'gentile.' "Gypsy-folk present the strangest problems known to philology and ethnography. An elementary, nomadic folk persisting for centuries in the midst of complex civilization, they have retained their physical characteristics, their tribal rules and customs reminiscent of their far-distant extraEuropean past, their highly inflected language, and their thousand years of fever for roving. They are absolutely singular and without close parallel among the peoples of earth. "Gypsy religion and gypsy aspiration may be summed up in two lines from the works of the German poet, Goethe: 'To give room for wandering is it. That the world was made so wide.' This folk entered Europe by way of Constantinople In the 12th century, and overflowed Into the northern Balkans, Hungary, central and western Europe, England, and, thence to North and South America. The English called them Egyptians, after their supposed origin, whence the name 'gypsy.' They reached Germany in about 1417 and England about lf>00. At first they were treated kindly by the western nations, but their strangeness, their unconventionality, their light-fingered ways, their proneness for fortune-telling, necromancy, black magic, and their unwillingness for work in all forms, soon called down upon them bitter persecution in Germany, England, France and the Netherlands. In the Balkans, Russia Hungary and Poland .they were well treated, and they are found in these countries in great numbers today. It is estimated that Europe has more than 900,000 gypsies." The Scandal Monger. "So strong, so swift, the monster there's no gagging. Cut off Scandal's head, still the tongue is wagging." How many times have all of us had occasion to realize the truth of Garrick's unique rhyme. The cause of gossip may be abated, but once a scandal has started, like a prairie fire, there's no stopping it. The subject is of pertinent interest Because or a very recent atratr in tnis city. A shooting scrape in an office building is explained on the ground that trouble between the two men was engendered by idle, if not malicious, gossip. How easy it all starts?the mere raising of the eyebrows is sufficient. The next man shrugs his shoulders, and the third gives vent to some exclamation. Finally, it is a matter of gossip, then downright scandal, and in the end a woman's good name is blackened, a man's reputation ruined, or the standing of a business house menaced. "Tale-hearers are as bad as talemakers," said Sheridan, but modern opinion is that they are a great deal worse. When one has only laid the foundation for a fire, the other fans it into a conflagration. A scandal monger should be despised of all men and women.?Macon News.
