PEN POINTS.

Unless a man is open to conviction
you can't shut him up with your argu-

More things will come to the man

Some men are like monographs;
they talk a great deal, but never say
anything original
Hope springs eternal in the human
breast. That's why the pool of disap-

Don't expect your ulster to look clean

American Girl Who Would Be IS
a Queen.

america contains greater number
OF Titled people of various grades of
nobility than would be required to pop
uiate good-sized monarchy.
Inc lineal descendants of scores Of
nople families of Europe have lost their
sloentlty In our genuinely cosmopolitan
population. A bright American WON
an mas just commenced a remarkable
suit based upon relationship OF this
nature which seems to establish the
1act that she is the present rightful
queen of Sweden. This remarkable
claimant Is Miss Louise White, whose
FAMILY is well known both in society
ana IN business in Indian Territory.
Miss White has been travelling abroad
Tor the past two years in search Of evil
dence to be used in pressing her claim.
she Is at present living in a suite of
rooms in the Continental Hotel in
otocKholm. Her case is familiar to
the United States minister at Stock
holm, Major Ferguson, and has been
discussed in the Swedish newspapers
In preparing her case Miss White
mas accumulated an immense amount
OF documentary evidence. The legal
papers, such as they are, have not yet
peen made public, but the nature of the
proof which will be presented has al
ready been freely discussed. 1t may be
said that in such a claim as this, in
Volvlng as 1t does such immense and
1ar-reaching issues, there is all the diff
ference in the world between a moral
and legal claim to such a title. The
right of the present king of Sweden to
the throne has often been questioned.
Inc same condition of affairs exists to-
day IN England and in practically
every monarchy in the world. The
first and basal claim Miss White has
made as to the illegality of the present
kings position is therefore by no
means new, and in this claim at least
she has many followers It will occur
to every one that the difficulties of es-
tabllshlng such a claim are practically
| lnsurmountable. Possession is, to be-
| gin with, conceded to be nine-tenths of
| the law. The king is, besides, a very
popular monarch and Miss White is
virtually foreigner. The claim is,
however, none the less interesting on
this account, and if it is not recognized
at the present time it is not unlikely
to bear important fruit later in the his
tory of the country. .....

two years trip abroad she has travelled

without any companion and, except for
the lawyers and counsel she had en-
ployed from time to time, she has de-
pended entirely upon her own
resources. Miss White is both
young and attractive. Her broth
ers in this country are en-
gagged in the piano manufac-
turing business. The family IS
wealthy and Miss White has had
the benefits which good education and
good breeding insure. Miss White has
just passed her thirty-second year.
She is intelligent, well bred and good
looking. She has spent several years
in travelling in Europe and has been
well received in many fashionable cir
cles. The greater part Of her present
trip abroad has been spent in Italy.
Miss White took up her residence IN
Stockholm about three months ago.
AS a result of these years spent
abroad Miss White has become TAMIL
lar with both French and German,
which she speaks fluently. She has not
as yet, rather curiously, gained any ex-
tensive knowledge of the Swedish lan-
guage, and is at present busy in max
ing herself very familiar with her ma ma
tive tongue. She is, besides, deeply
interested in the various social, politl-
cal and religious problems Of Sweden len.
She is familiar with Swedish literature
and is constantly studying the condi-
.tions Of the Swedish peasants.

Apropos of this. Eve has heard
little story that belongs right in New
orleans. A young couple after the
wedding had settled down to- board
with the brides parents. The girl had
been provided with very ample trous-%-
seau, and her husband paid board and
laundry bills very promptly, so that
several months passed before her
mother noticed a very painful en-
barrassment about her daughter. Pin
money from papa having ceased, she
never had a nickel for car fare or the
plate in church, for thread. or any
thing, her mother supplying all this
when they went out together. At last
one day the mothers purse ran short,
and she said: Fannie, haven't you

Fannie had made an engagement to

the friend called just as breakfast was

king Of Sweden, Gustavus sAdolphus.
1t is, of course, matter of history that
the present king Of Sweden, Oscar H.,
cannot claim this distinction. The reg
ular succession to the throne was brOk-
en-, as all the world knows, in the year
1909. The present ruler of Sweden is
descended from the BernadOtte family,
which assembled the throne in the year
mentioned. The various papers and
documents which Miss White has col
lected, and which she says will be put
in evidence at the proper time, establish
her relationship, it is claimed, to the
older rulers of the country. The last
of this American woman's ancestors to
occupy the throne of Sweden was King
Gustavus w., who ruled from 1892 to-
1909. Gustavus began to occupy his
royal authority in 1896. His reign was
remarkable for the obstinacy with
which he chung to his own ideas, no
matter how they might conflict with
the obvious interests of his country.
His troubles commenced in 1903, when,
in order to vent a bitter spite against
Bonaparte, he tried to induce the Ger
mans to act with him in support. of the
.Bourbons. This policy led directly to
his downfall He soon quarreled open
ly with France, and even when Russia
and Prussia offered to mediate between
him and the French emperor, he re-
fused to come to terms. The conse-
quence was that he lost large tract
of vol ~ II, fo, ,1,t
with Russia and Denmark, and finally
picked a quarrel with England, which
had been his strongest ally. The Swed-
ish people were so enraged with his
policy that in 1909 he was dethroned
and at the time the claims of his de-
scendants to the crown were repudi-
ated. But the family has still many
followers in Sweden who remain loyal
to the ancient family. There are many
| families of noblemen in Sweden at the
| present time who boast of much long
er family trees than the king. In other
words, the king. has not by any means
the bluest blood in his own realm. An6
there are those i'll Sweden to-day whc
look forward to time when the old.
er succession may be re-established. i
is this royal family which Miss White
so confidently claims are her ancestors

makes her home is situated near tn,
palace of the king, which is one of tn,
finest in all Europe. It is huge edi

the exterior is a trife heavy

rations, however, compare favor
ably with any palaces on the con-
tinent. Miss, Whites rooms overlook
this great mansion, which is situated
in the very heart of Stockholm. Near
by stands the church which contains
the tomb of the American woman's
great ancestor, King Gustavus Adolf

claims Is her own she will have beyond

went home one evening and told him
that was engaged he cross-questioned
me like lawyer, and both answers in
creased his wrath, till he positively
forbade the bands. I have something
of temper myself and after stormy
interchange we agreed upon COM
promise. He did not like the girls
family. He would have it that she was
a fortune hunter. He could never ap-
prove of her under any circumstances,
but if would go abroad for two years,
see other women, hold no communion
tion with my fancee and then return
to marry her he would interpose no
obstacle. I accepted his terms.
AFTER I had been in Paris a year
met an American girl who was in all
respects my ideal She was with a.
wealthy aunt, whose name she had
taken and whose fortune she was about
to inherit. I wrote to the governor
about her, sent him the opinion Of
some of my countrymen whom he knew
and said that his scheme had proved
good one after ALL With his per-
mission would wed the girl in Paris.

there was tone of mild reproval for
my inconsistency. You notice that my
wife is prime favorite with him. He

tories are showing remarkable results
in this particular industry The In

texture and beauty surpasses the love-
lieSt silk. A drachm of web reaches 200
miles and is proportionately stronger
than bar Of tempered STEEL A web
of equal thickness would support sew
enty-four tons, while steel would
break at fifty tons. These spiders when
at work eat seventy-eigh times their

MY CnrlStlan IrlenQS, nave we right
to delegate to others the discharge of.
this duty which God demands of us?
Suppose that four wood-thrushes pro-
pose to do all the singing some bright
day, when the woods are ringing with
bird voices. It is decided that four
Wood-thrushes shall do all of the sing
ing of the forest. Let all other voices
keep silent. How beautifully the four
MARBLE! It is really fine music. But
how long will you keep the forest still?
Why, Christ won't come into that for
est and look up, as he looked through
the olives, and he would wave his hand
and say, "Let everything that hath
breath praise the Lord" and, keeping
time with the stroke of innumerable
wings, there would be five thousand
bird voices leaping into the harmony.
Suppose this delegation of musical per-
formers We're tried in heaven; suppose
that four choice spirits should try to do
the singing Of the upper Temple.
Hush now! thrones and dominions and
principalities. David, be still, though
you were the sweet singer Of Israeli,
Paul, keep quiet, though you have come
to that crown Of rejoicing. Richard
Baxter, keep still, though this is the

its now do all the singing. But how
long would heaven be quiet? How
long? "Hallelujah" would cry some

Theosophx Not New.

Is TheOsOphy new religion? we are
asked. By no means;i it is not new re
ligiOn," nor is its philosophy new;
for, as often stated, it is as old as think
ing man. Its tenets are not now pub
lished for the first time, but have been
continually given out to and taught by
more than one Initiate. More than one
great scholar has stated that there never
was religious founder; whether Aryan,
Semitic or Turaman, who had invented
a new religion, or revealed new truth.
These founders were all transmitters, not
original teachers. They were the auth
ors of new forms and interpretations,
while the truths upon which their teach
ings were based were as old as mankind.
Thus out of the many truths revealed
orally to man in the beginning, preserved
and perpetuated through initiation dur
ing mysteaies and by personal transmits
sion, they selected one or more OF such
grand yerities actualities visible only to
the eye of the real Sage and Seer, and re-
vealed them to the masses, Thus every
nation received in its turn sJnn Of tho
said trnths, under The vail Of lis own
local and special symbolism, which as
time went on, developed into more or
less philosophical cultus, PANTHEON in
mythical disguise. Therefore is COnfu
ciOus, very ancient Legislator in histor-
ical chronology, through very modern
sage in the worlds history, shown by DR..
Legge to be emphatically a transmitter,
not maker. As he himself says, 81 on
ly hand on; cannot create new things,

love them" III. P. Blavatsky.
The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1897-08-13

As evidence that Wellington is favOra
bly, known in other places, we heard a
number of complimentary remarks con-
cerning the town from acquaintance in
other towns during recent wheel trip
through the country. The impression
seems to have gone abroad that Yelling
ton is just commencing a new era of
prosperity and growth; and it is correct.
There is no reason why Wellington
should not become one of the foremost
towns in this section of the country and
proper spirit of public enterprise dis
played upon the part of her citizens will,
in time, bring about such favorable re-
suits. 1t would seem to us that property
owners in the town could not do too much
toward building up the place; to make it
a desirable point for new business indus
tries of various kinds, and thereby in
crease the population. How often do we
hear it said that the manufacturing
towns are always lively and do lots of
business. We need, here, to combine
manufacturing interests with those of
agriculture. Such a combination would
make this one of the strongest business
and financial centers in the State.
