WORLD-WIDE DISARMAMENT ' The talk and writing about disarmament brings forward the fact that many years ago England and America r made a joint move to limit armament. It was during the presidency of I James Monroe and was made possible by the aid and encouragement of that great president. The Monroe doctrine has been acclaimed one of the greatest acts of statesmanship and has eclipsed that other great international movement for the limitation of I armament that President Monroe gave the benefit of his assistance. It is somewhat remarkable that this mutual effort of America and Great Britain was inaugurated in 1814 not very long after the war of 1812 between Great Britain ami the United States. It is the more than likely at that time England was preparing to increase her naval forces. An exchange recalls the fact, that the success of Monroe's splendid purpose is attested by this incident a i a . in which cue two greatest powers in the world have lived in peace for over a century, and that the Canadian-American border line of 4000 miles has not a fort nor a cannon nor a soldier to guard either frontier. Great Britain realizes the benefit of this agreement between the two nations and in pledging her cooperaation to the United States in world disarmament her representatives make this statement: *'We look confidently to the government and people of the United States for their sympathy and understanding in this respect. Friendly cooperation with theUnited States is for us a cardinal principle; dictated by what seems to us the proper nature ol things; dictated by reason quite as much as by instinct and common sense. We desire to work with the great republic in all parts of the world. We desire to avoid the growth of armament, whether in the Pacific or elsewhere. We are ready to discuss with American statesmen any nrnnncol fnr 1 i ? * * i t o f t/-v r? f nemo wmnt. which they may wish to set out." AFFAIRS IN MKXICO A newspaper headline: "Mexico peace and hard at work." This is trom one of Hearsts' chain of newspapers and heads an article by William Randolph Hearst himself. The article that is too lenghty to be fully quoted takes the view that the present administration of Mexico under Obrcgon is entitled to great credit for the reformation of affairs in that heretofore un. happy country. Mr. Hearst has very immense financial interest in Mexico and is anxious to have the United States government recognize the Obrcgon administration. Mr. Hearst thus refers to an interview with the Mexican president: "On my return to Mexico Ci'.y i had a long and extremely interesting interview with President Obregon. 1 found him quit0 confident that his country was completlv and ? permanently restored to peace and ord. er. The just and legitimate obj :cts of the revolution had boon accomplished. The government had bee.i wrested from the narrow, sel'lsh control of the great landed aristocracy. A government of the people, by the people and for.the people had bn substitutd with rotation in office instead of a permnment dictatorship. The greatest good of the greatest number was the prime object of thio government. The people were contented becauee of the more liberal social and governmntal conditions."

The Marksman. Kermlt Roosevelt, who has eight j hlaek-mancd lions to his credit, was talking at an Oyster Bay luncheon about marksmanship. "My friend Bang." he said, "is a tine shot. The oilier evening a chicken was required for dinner, and Bang volunteered to go out Into the barnyard and shoot It. "Well, he disappeared with his gun, and soon a shot was heard, then another, then three or four shots In rapid sueeession. But Bang didn't re mm with me chicken.

" INJURiES HAVE SET VALUE Recompense for Loss of Hands or Fingers Not Matter for Debate in Europe. According to a scale of value furnished by the miners' unions and miners' accident Insurance companies of i Kuropean country, the loss of both hands Is valued nt loo per cent of the ability to earn a living. <-4%o?ing the right hand depreciates the vn'tie of an individual as a worker-74>??r 80 per cent, while the loss of the left hand represents from 00 to 70 per cent of he earnings of both bonds. The humh is reckoned to he worth from iO to .'10 per cent of the earnings. The irst finger of the right hand Is valued it from 14 to 18 per cent, that of the left hand nt from 8 to irufc per cut. The middle finger Is worth from 10 to 10 per cent. Thu third finger stands least of all ih vulue, although, like other useless members of the community It is surrounded by riches, its value Is only from 7 to 0 per cent. i no nine linger is wnUh from 9 to 12 per rent. The difference in the percentages is occasioned by the difference in the trade; the first finger being, for Instance, more valuable to a writer than a digger.

QLD JIM BRIDG?R, TELLER OF "TALL YARNS" "Yes sir, up thar In the Yellowstone I seed peetrlfled trees a-growlu' with peetrlfled birds on 'etn a-singiu' peet-' rllied songs," ouce declared old Jim Brldger, scout, trapper and fur trader. Lie wns one of the first white tnen to. visit the natural wonders of ^ what Is now Yellowstone National park. After his return he gave an account pf what he had seen to an eastern magnzlne writer. Two of the writer's articles were published. Then the editor refused to print any more, saying that his readers would not believe such Baron Munchausen tales. Everything the old trapper had told the magazine writer was true, and when Brldger found that hla stories were no longer believed, he began telling other yarns which did not always stick so closely to the truth. One day in the Yellowstone, he said he came upon nn elk grazing within easy gun range, lie fired, but the elk neither dropped nor seemed alarmed by the shot. The scout reloaded and fired again?with the same result. Then he became angry. Picking up a rock, he threw It at the animal. The rnck stfiirlr enmp Invisible hnrrlor atld dropped to the ground. When Brldger renehed the plnce where It lay he found that he had been shooting at the elk through a mountain of pefectly transparent cryetnl! v Brldger was the first white mni/ to see the CJrent Salt Lake In Utah. Thle was In 18'J4, and he told some wonderful stories about the lake. One of theni was uhout the great, snowfall In the winter of 1880. which covered the whole Salt Lake valley to a depth of 70 feet. All of the hufTalo perished. "When spring came, all I had to do was tumble 'era Into the lake an' I had enough pickled buffalo for myself an' the whole Ute nation for years," Brldger declared. Brldger was known as "Old Oabe," or "Th.) Old Man of the Mountains" by his fellow trappers, and the Crow Indians called him "Cnsapy?the Blanket Chief." "Glneral, whar you don't see no Injuns, tbar they're nartln to bd" thickest," he once told Gen. Henry Cnrrihgton, and the general found It good advice. When the engineers for the Union Pacific railroad were uncertain about the easiest route through the Rocky mountains, they sent for Old Jim. He took a piece of old brown paper and with a piece of charcoal marked the route which they were to follow. Later they found thai iie had not mnde n single mistake In mapping the route. Rrldger died In 1881, ?nd ts burled In Kansas City. . "VAMPS" WHO I I I MADE HISTORY | By JAMES C. YOUNG. > | ((?) by McClura Newapapar Syndicate.) THE WOMAN WHO KILLED A QENIU8. ANY one In the least familiar with the writings of Ilonore de Bali perhaps the greatest novelist of i Frunee, must have been stirred by the I white heat of his Imagination. Just I conceive such a man at the age of thirty-three, on the tide of his Hist sucI cess. He wus being acclaimed everywhere. Letters poured in from admlr! ers. Among these was n simple mlsI slve signed "The Stranger," mailed > from Odessa. A woman had written It. , In tills letter the unknown invited i Balzac to answer her through a news , iiuveriiseiiicui. ivageriy ne mo t so, and soon another letter came. The , writer was Kvelina Iianska, the young j wife of a mnn twenty-live years older. | and mistress of n great fortress-like castle in the Ukraine, Russia. The burning words of Balzac drew her to j Neufchttfel. Picture to yourself how lioth must have felt before and after they met. She was tall, elegant, high horn. He was fat, short and not handsome. He says himself that she drew ^ hack astounded w.hen she saw him. But it was not long until the woman saw in the mail's remarkable eyes the genius which was his. They loved and parted, she returning^ to her lonely castle and he to endless work. Certainly the love of Balzac must have been n tribute which pleased the i fancy of Evelina Hanskft. But her heart seems to have heeu ns cold as her castle walls. The two'corresponded, and she toyed with the great man. There was her husband, whom she would not leave. Balzac assented and saw her at Infrequent Intervals over a period of years. ?? , For seventeen years Balzac's devotion endured. Mme. Banska's coquetry was the great sorrow of his life. Then the hushand died. She wrote to him and he went ofT to that bleak Russia ?tfKnwA alio ll?./v?l A .? ? iv one ikcii, /\k>iiii uipre were delays. Site would promise nothing. He enme bnck to Paris and nffer more letters again started for Russia. It wax In March, 1860, that he arrived,, his henrt almost congealed hy the cold. And at last hla evil genius consented to bestow upon him the happiness ho had sought so long. They were married and started for France In April. Rut Balzac wns nonr tl^e end. In Dresden he fell seriously III. She went out shopping and returned with a wondrous string of pearls. But Balzac milled and they went on to Paris. There he hnH ? ? >>v ?*<! |'i *:j?n i r?i rare home for her. filled with art to nsurea. lie. at least, wna happier than * / he ever had been. She revelled in the 1'iirla shops.
