^tumorous flqiartmrnt. He Knew.?There is a celebrated specialist in Washington, as well Known for his bluntness of speech as for his professional skill, relates the Sunday Magazine. On one occasion a rather pretentious and elderly woman, the wife of a cabinet officer, sought his advice. He listened to a long recital of her symptoms and then prescribed as follows: "An egg and a cup of tea for breakfast. then walk for two hours; a slice of cold beef and half a glass of wine for luncheon, then walk again for two hours; fish (except salmon) and a bit of chicken for dinner, with a single glass of wine; to bed at 10 and rise at 7. etc. No automobile exercise, please." The patient listened with surprise. "But. doctor." she expostulated, "do you know who 1 am? Do you know my position?" "Perfectly, madam," said the doctor, "I am prescribing for an old woman with a deranged stomach." Wasted.?Miss Maud Lessing was telling us the other day that soon after she went to Germany she was interviewed by the representative of a British newspaper, says the Washington Star. The interviewer complimented her on being able to speak her lines in the piece without a trace of a foreign accent. "Oh," replied Miss Lessing frivolously. "I play in five languages?German, French, American, English and IrJ?h Poor Miss I^essing expected at least a smile at her little joke, but the interviewer wrote it down quite seriously, and in due course the statement appeared in print. Almost immediately another newspaper chided her, solemnly informing her that American, English and Irish were practically one and the same language. "Miss Lessing," it pointed out, "should know better than to make a mistake like this." His Wandering Boy.?The telephone bell jingled merrily in the officers' room at Central station the other night, and a feminine voice replied to a corporal's "hello." "Is dis der poleese station?" "Yes, madam." "Veil, I want you to find my poy Jakie and send him home." "What has Jakie been doing?" "Xuddings. But he won't stay at home at night. He just runs arounds and runds around. And sometimes he don't get home till nearly 10 o'clock." Smothering it desire to laugh, the corporal asked. "How old is Jakie?" "He vuz 32 his last birthday." "Madam," gently replied the officer, "you had better let Jakie alone. He probably has got a girl." A Question for Mothers.?"Mother,"' said Bobby, after a full week of obedience, "have I been a good boy lately?" "Yes, dear," replied his mother, "a very good boy." "And do you trust me?" he continued. "Why, of course, mother trusts her little boy!" she answered. But the chastened child was not pacified. "I mean really, really trust me, you know," he explained. "Yes, I really, really trust you," nodded his mother. "Why do you ask?" "Just because," said Bobby, diving his hands into his pockets and looking her in the face, "if you trust like you say you do, why do you go on keeping the jam locked in the pantry?" Would Correct His Mistake.?An official of the department of agriculture connected with the bureau of chemistry, tells of a dealer in California who was accused of selling a wine made of chemicals. He was haled into court, found guilty, and fined. When the matter had been adjusted the dealer approached the chemist whose testimony had convicted him. "How did you know that my wine was manufactured?" he asked. "Because." explained the chemist, "it contained no bitartrate of potash. In natural wines bitartrate of potash is always found." "Thanks," said the vintner, in a tone of relief. "It will be found in my wines hereafter."?New York Evening Post. Not Even First Aid.?At a certain college it was the custom to have the students write the following pledge at the bottom of their examination papers: "I hereby certify on my honor that i have neither given nor received aid during this examination." Soon after handing in his paper to a professor noted for his sarcasm, a young fellow hurriedly entered the class room and said: "Professor, I forgot to put the pledge on my paper." "Altogether unnecessary," replied the teacher. "I have just finished looking over your paper, and 1 feel sure you did not give or receive aid." ?Lippincott's Magazine. Cause For Friction.?Young I)emmons. an adjuster for a l?ig insurance company, was just returning home from a nearby city, where he had been to adjust a loss on a building that had burned, when he met an old friend, says the New York Times. "How did the lire start?" inquired the friend. "I can't say with certainty," replied the adjuster, "and nobody seems able to tell. Put it struck me it might have been the result of friction." "Why," asked the friend, "what do you mean by that?" "Well," said Dentitions gravely, "friction sometimes comes from rubbing a $15.0110 policy on a $10,<HH) building." After the Bath.?To please her wee daughter. Doris. Mrs. X the other day bought a globe of goldfish, and when the little one arrived at home front school, the first thing she saw was her new present. After some moments of gleeful chatter, she asked shortly: .titiiiiiuu, wnere mi we Keep "em when they've had their hath'.'"? Philadelphia Ledger. His Strong Belief.?The intelligent talesman was being examined to pass on the Jury in a murder trial. "Do you believe in capital punishment?" inquired the attorney "You bet I do." came the prompt response. "I'm agin' the trusts, and I want to see half of Wall street in jail, where they belong."?Kx.

"Practically nothing, except the loss of thousands of lives and millions of dollars." This is the summary of the situation abroad as seen by a veteran i European diplomat now living in America. "Boundary lines of some countries may be changed a little," he continued, "but not one of the great nations now drawn into this conilict can hope to be the gainer to any great extent. In fact, so little reason did there appear for a general war that 1 was inclined to the belief that some sort of a peace arrangement might be worked out, even after Austria had invaded Servia. "Suppose Germany and Austria were to win over Russia. Suppose, even that Russia would go down to a tremendous defeat. What would Germany gain? Land! Well, she might cut off a piece of territory from Russia, but it would be of no value to her. The inhabitants would be Slavic, and in a continuous state of unrest, so that the disadvantages of territorial aggrandizement would far outweigh the advantage. "In the event of a victory of that kind, Austria, of course, might carry out the plan that has often been imputed to her?namely, that of making an Austrian province of the Balkan states. But here, too. there would be tremendous ditiiculties in permanently subduing an alien people. Race hatred would burn for years, and burst out every once in a while into a flame that would scorch the victors. "France, of course, if drawn into the conflict, will exert every effort to regain Alsace-Lorraine from Germany But here they will face a tremendous task for Germany has made practically a solid fortress along the frontiers of those provinces. Comparatively a few men could defend them against a successful invasion from France. "France, moreover, hiis strong neeed of all the forces she can command to keep the border intact, lest an invading army of combined Austrian and German and perhaps Italian troops in iinrl Inv tho Plllllltrv UMSlP "Italy has nothing at all to gain and that is the reason she is so diffident about precipitating herself into the cauldron at the present time. Nothing but the most alarming situation will draw her from her stand off attitude. "England can gain no added territory?in fact any land that she might win on the continent would be a burden almost insupportable to her. She has plenty of difficulties with her present colonies. Of course, her aim will be to destroy the German navy, or at least, so to shatter it that it will be a negligible quantity for years to come, leaving England undisputed queen of the seas. "Russia's desire is to get an outlet on the Mediterranean sea. But how can she accomplish that in the present crisis? She surely cannot be an ally to Servia and the other Balkan states, and then take their land away from tHom t f\ frit in ht?r ond Pprhll I)S she will try to drive Turkey out of Europe and accomplish her purpose that way. This will precipitate a new element in the conflict, whose consequences are so far-reaching as to be staggering. "Suppose, for instance, that Russia and her ally, England, should prove victorious, do you suppose for one moment that England would permit the czar to gain his purpose of a Mediterranean port? Not if it could be prevented, for England's supremacy on that sea would then be a matter of dispute with a strong rival power. "Austria is the only nation that has been drawn into this conllict by fate. Her national prestige would be greatly lowered if she permitted to go unpunished the murderer of one of the members of her reigning house at the instigation of a foreign society. It would be the same as if the Mexican Constitutionalists should conspire against the life of President Wilson, o rwl *i m t?1 i oVi thoir nnrnneo lint one way of retaliation would be left to the United States and that would be by invasion of Mexico. "Austria chose well her moment of attack. All her crops are harvested and stored. On the other hand, the fields of Servia and of Russia, with a climate somewhat more backward, are laden with grain, waiting to be garnered. In fact, some of the Russian crops cannot be harvested until the third week in August. "This resolves itself, therefore, into a business proposition?striking while you are prepared, while your neighbor is unprepared. Russia was sparring for time until her crops could be safely harvested, but Germany stepped up at the critical moment and precipitated the crisis that will force her workers to leave the fields and take to war. This will be a serious drawback to a longdrawn-out war. for it will not be long before the reserve food supplies are exhausted and the people on the verge of want."?Brooklyn Eagle. MARION'S LEAP FOR LIFE Tradition Says Horse Cleared Fence Eight Feet High. Gen. Marion was a native of South Carolina and the theater of his military exploits was the coast region of that state. The strength of his constitution and his long familiarity with the trying climate of that low-lying country enabled him to endure hardships that few men could have resisted. Gen. Marion was slender and not very tall, and he rode when in service an extremely swift-footed and powerful horse, according to the Youth's Companion. When in fair pursuit, nothing could overtake him. < >nce he tl'MU ! Itlli iut i* It t*t*4 tit rwltJfl lit' * I Iktll'fV* Itf British dragoons, and had to take refuse in a cornfield. The tield, which lay several feet lower than the adjoining land, had formerly been part of the marsh. Gen. Marion entered it at the upper side; tile dragoons who were in chase of him leaped the fence also, and were only a short distance behind him. Mis only possible way of escape was to leap the fence at tlie lower side. To drain the held of its superfluous water, a trench had been cut around that part of the field four feet wide and four feet deep. The mud and clay removed in cutting the ditch made a bank on its inner side, and on the top of the bank was a fence. In all. the top ENGLAND'S WARRI i i.u armed sky-cruiser is the best air. The pilot is above and the gunnel it can ho pointed in any direction. of the fence was nearly eight feet | above tlie level of the field, and the ditch, four feet wide, ran parallel with I it on tlie farther side. The dragoons knew the nature of the obstacle, and believed that it was impossible for their enemy to pass it. Accordingly, they pushed forward with loud shouts of exultation, calling out to him to surrender or perish by the sword. Marion, however, spurred his horse to the charge. The noble animal, as if conscious that his master's life was in danger, approached the barrier in his finest style, and with a bound that was almost supernatural cleared the fence and ditch completely, and recovered himself without loss of time on the other side. Marion instantly wheeled about, discharged his pistol at the astonished dragoons, and then, turning his horse and bidding them good morning, departed. RUSSELLISM Religious Newspaper Makes Attack on Leader. The itaptis Chronicle has an editorial on Russellism, in which it com mends seme tracts on the subject, published by Chas. C. Cook, 13J Nassau street, New York. It makes special reference to four of these tracts, one by Dr. I. M. Halderman, one by Rev. J. J. Ross and two by Mr. Chas. C. Cook.' The price of these tracts is ten cents i apiece. They give light not only upon | this spreading fanaticism hut also upon j , Pastor Russell himself. Usually it is neither right nor wise to try to ventilate the character of those whose doctrines are under consideration. But an exception should be made where a', man's character and course of life give j much light on the real nature of the!, movement of which he is the head. I Pastor Russell, for instance, makes, unusual claims, not to prophecy, but!, to prophetic interpretation. He knows , so perfectly how to interpret all proph ecy that lie does not neeu m nc a . prophet. lie can predict future events , with much deliniteness, confidence ( and show of learning. A layman would have some difficulty in answering his specific interpretations, but he will ] have none, we think, in understanding the historic failure of his conlident j predictions. The Chronicle says: , "Russell tauaht his followers that ( Christ would come in 1N74. When that year arrived and there was no appearance of the cominjt of Christ as foretold in tlie Scriptures, then lie claimed that he came secretly. He also claims 1 that the saints were raised up in ls's 1 and that since that time Christ and the risen saints have been on the earth." For many years now Pastor Russell has nredicted that the world was com WOMEN OF SERVIAN | & Women members of the League oi defiance of Austria. Between them is s of the league.

As this could not happen secretly and as the time Is drawing nigh the "pastor" begins, it seems, to have some uneasiness for his prophecy. The Chronicle gives us the - Inton.l.n. f-,.m Mm ll'K I^VA IK IIKVI V IV n IIUIII Now York Sun: " 'Why do you say that the world will come to an end in 1914?" "'Really it is 191.1,' said Mr. Russell. '[ go by the Jewish chronology, which makes October the beginning of a new year. I believe there will be a worldwide anarchy after October, 1914, and that all men who will not accept the truth by that time will suffer terribly, ' I get my interpretation from the Prophet Daniel. "'Of course,' added Mr. Russell 1 quickly, 'the end may not come in 1915. It may be 1916 or even a few years later. Hut as nearly as I can Reckon, 1915 is the date for the Lord's punishment of the wicked. The signs of the times all point to the end of the old era and tlie beginning of the new.* ' It might be supposed, in the'charity of some, that Russell is a sincere fa- ' natie. But Mr. Ross, as quoted by the ; Chronicle, makes it impossible Tor us to take this milder view of liirn. The Chronicle says: "Mr. Ross published a brief tract re- 1 llecting very strongly on Russell's i character, and Russell went to Canada and issued a summons against Mr. < Ross, charging him with criminal and defamatory libel. Mr. Ross had difficulty in getting Russell into Canada to try the case but finally succeeded.

D'.-ath holding the llag unfurled fa liown ihe skull ajid cross-bones badge THE GREAT KIEL CANAL Germany's Waterway from the Baltic to the North Sea. Americana who have heard and read so much of our own Panama canal are prone to lose sight of other great waterways. The importance and magnitude of the Kiel canal may become more fully recognized through its use for battleships of the largest type during the ensuing hostilities. The Kiel canal was intended primarily for a means of quick transport of warships to the North Sea for it runs from the harbor of Kiel on the Baltic to Brundesbuttle on the Elbe estuary near the sea, and cuts off the long and rather hazardous passage through the Cattegat and around the northern end of Denmark. Besides its usefulness as a naval waterway, it is important as a maritime passage, and was used by some 20,000 vessels the first year of its existence. It has grown in importance since, and in 1912 was used by 57,366 ships of 9,924,237 tons in all, a larger traffic than that of the Suez canal. The Kiel canal, better known to the Germans as the Kaiser Wilhelm canal, is sixty-one miles long, and was begun in 1887 and completed in 1895, at a cost of $39,218,000. The advent of the Dreadnaught type of battleship, however, made it necessary, if its usefulness was to continue, to enlarge and deepen it. This was undertaken and completed at an additional cost of $55,000,000 and the canal formally opened to the world in April last. As it now stands, the Kiel canal is capable of accommodating not only the largest warships, but commercial vessels of the Imperator and Acquitania type. It has locks 82 feet longer and 37i feet wider than the Panama canal, and of 4 feet greater depth. It is built to accommodate a 60,000 ton ship, if that dream of naval designers is realized in the future. The new locks are 1,082 feet long, 147?. feet wide and have a mean depth of 45 feet of water over the sills. The canal is 400 feet at the bottom and has been provided with eleven sidings at which vessels may pass. New harbors have been built at each end, several sharp curves have been eliminated, two new railway bridbes 150 feet above the canal and other details added. The work of improvement which took live years was done without the interruption of traffic and the new locks, one at each end of the waterways, being constructed alongside the old ones. "BOSS OF THE WARD" Chicago Woman Who is a Sucess in Politics. Many years ago, before there was eht .slightest suspicion of Illinois becoming a suffrage state, says a Chicago letter, Mrs. Annie Carlo lilasi, of Chicago, was the "lady boss" of the First ward. She looked over the ambitious otliceseekers with her quizzical eyes and picked out an alderman. "I'll deliver the ward to you at the next election," she would say. And she did. She has disposed of the ward like this for 25 years?usually to one man, "Bathhouse" John J. Coughlin. Now, with the women marking ballots with the men in Illinois, her power has advanced. She is the czarina of her dominion. Her word is law among her people. For she is the Italian's riueen, not by election or inheritance, but by the common asset of her willing subjects. The secret of her force as a politician is her attitude of charity worker in her kingdom. Her time, her money and her profession as a midwife, are at the command of the poorest in the colony. The only recompense she asks is a vote. Her apartment is at the top of three flights of uncarpeted stairs, and is not at all unhomelike to the poorest visitor. Her royal robes are calico house dresses and those of a woman in moderate circumstances. The newest immigrant woman is not embarrassed in her presence. wnen Airs. Kiasl Became a politician, she learned that a foreign citizen's interest in his adopted government was reached by way of the job. His personal comfort was of more ritnl importance than the national iebt. She saw the advantage of coniccting charity and politics?of relievng discomforts in exchange for votes. The winning of votes is a matter >f friendship and very simple, accordng to Mrs. Blasi. "While dressing a new baby I talk :o eight or ten women about politics," the said. "I explain that they should lave their husbands vote for my canlidate. I get them all, too. "I was at a political meeting, teaching the young Italian girls how <> mark a balloot and telling them of .heir citizenship papers, when I was called to the telephone. I was told a pale, man and a very old woman, with i shawl ovf,r her head, were waiting for me at home. They already had waited from 7 until 11 o'clock and refused to tell their business. I broke up the meeting. " 'rlivf. mf. i Inh Tiriimiso?' Said the man when I entered. "For three months he said he had walked the streets for work. His family was starving: and he was eating one meal a day. I promised. At 4 o'clock next morn ing he was walking in the hall, five hours ahead of time. "'Put this man to cleaning streets.' I told the street commissioner at the city hall. " 'Let him repc rt tomorrow morning in tin* twenty-ninth ward,' replied the olliciivl. hut L' was unsatistied. " '1 promised him a job today. I should rather lie would be sent out right now.' " lie receive.d the job that day. After his day's work was over, he rushed to express his gratitude to Mrs. lllasi before returning' home. She told him lie would have an opportunity to repay her on election day by casting her ballot as she wished. "Where is it? Lot 1110 vote now!" he exclaimed. Ilefore ho n **tod that night ho took "lit his neglet ito?l citizenship papers front a drawei *. The next day he carried them to the "Italian Queen" to lie with many nxore citizenship papers belonging to his countrymen in a heavy chest ' n the first ward. With that one deli very there wore more than "u votes for her to control at the next election ?a he votes of all the befriended Hal' ion's relatives. "His wife |p going to vote, his three sisters-in-la\ ; will vote, his brother is going t>> vol t?eight votes Tony will give tne fo r that job." The "lady boss" count j j'hem all. < Mi eleeti' >y, day she goes out to see that the pi Titnises are kept, standing in the rain >>t in the sunshine, as the weather happens to be, shaking hands with those she has befriended and reminding them of the "nice chicken I bought for your wife when the first baby came," or the "good Job I got you," or the "rent you didn't pay." At 4 o'clock on the morning of the political battle in the ward, Mrs. Bias! goes through the colony, arousing her constituents. She acts as an alarm clock for the housewives, reminding them to be up and ready, with their children washed and their breakfasts over by the time she comes for them in an automobile to convey them to the polls. On her return, she takes the mothers with shawls over their heads and with their babies in their arms?every woman of them to repay her with their ballots. "They always come when they know Annie Carlo wants them," said Mrs. Bias! with a knowing expression. The "Queen of the Italians" performs duties unknown to royalty; for the life of a woman politician must he varied, thrilling and exhausting. There is no time for solitude and few hours are left for unbroken sleep. She acts as interpreter wherever she is needed outside or inside the colony. She looks after the Bridewell pardons and furnishes bonds for those of her people who, fortunately or unfortunately. have been arrested, as any other ward "boss" would do. Upon her recommendations young boys in the reformatories are freed from the juvenile police. In courts, she stands sponsor for these boys. She serves as godmother to all the babies. She receives the pay envelopes of her constituents and advises them on the best investments or the wisest way of spending their money for enjoyment. She gives her personal attention to keeping the streets in the ward clean. She asks for permits for those who wish to carry revolvers. She secures more jobs for the Italians than any employment agency. As a representative of the first ward, Italians in the city hall, and as a politician, she knows all the avenues of employment through the superintendent of streets, telephone companies, the fire and police departments, and everywhere there is a demand for the coarser labor such as her people can and are willing to perform. She keeps a way open to supply a job and gain a vote, always. She sends coal and wood to the poor, and furnishes a room for a modest lodger, with a knife, fork and a table. On the first night a family spends in a new home, she sends a present of a dozen eggs for supper. "I do this," she tells them, "and charge nothing, but you will have a chance to do a favor for me on election day." Mrs. Blasi has occupied the president's chair of the Incornata society of Italian Women for sixteen years and has received many medals and honors of appreciation in that time. But the one thing she most appreci ates is a vote cast according to her direction. Her constituents know this and vote, accordingly, a straight Democratic ticket. SHOOTING A GRIZZLY. Upside-Down Shot Saved British Columbia Trapper's Life. "Did y'ever lie on your back in the bush and shoot a wounded grizzly that was standing right above your head?" asked Joe Juneau, trapper, when he came to McBride, British Columbia, with his partner, Bert Wabl, recently. "Well, it ain't so funny when you actually have to do it to escape getting hugged by the grizzly. Grizzly huggin' is one kind I don't hanker for!" Joe Juneau had set out into the mountains looking for caribou. "I never met caribou, nor nothin'," he said, "till right on the edge of the timber, I suddenly saw a big bear. Say, I cut loose with my rifle without thinkin' at all. It was a grizzly and a whopper. "I was so blame excited I flred again, though I could only see his head and shoulders. But I forgot my gun was still sighted for 100 yards, so of course I overshot him. But I guess I parted his hair all right, for he turned and charged right at me. "But suddenly his bearship changed his mind. He took a long circle loping off through the meadow. Then I shot a third time and wounded him, too, but It only served to quicken his get-away. "However, this time I must 'a' got a little reckless, because I went right liter nun in spue ui my trecu nui iw follow a grizzly, especi.ally a wounded grizzly, sinple handed. I followed the blood tracks into the thick underbrush. Pretty soon it po so tipht and tanpled I had to pet down on my hands and knees and crawl along, pushing my gun ahead of me. "I might 'a' knowed it would happen then. Suddenly I poked my head and shoulders through into a little clearing, and there was that grizzly, reared up right above me! "There wasn't any question about his intentions. It had to be dead grizzly or dead man in about the briefest jiffy of time. I just rolled over on my back and I fired at him upside down! The brush was so thick above me that it would 'a' been impossible to get to my knees in time. "Say, if that grizzly had toppled over forward instead of backward, he'd 'a' fallen square on top of me. That's how close we were. "Hut he fell backward all right. And for a time after I'd heard the crash I don't know which was the deadest, him or me! It was my first attempt to aim upside down. The scare sort of left me collapsed. But I'd hit him fair, under the chin and up through the mouth into the brain."
