the shelf that is by no means agree
able.
At least such was my feeling as
glanced at the invitations to a little
moonlight excursion on the lake which
were handed in by John while we were
seated at our cosy breakfast-table in
Snow Cottage. one lovely morning in
June. The note was directed to Miss
Lottie and Miss Cornie Whitaker; not
addressed as previous envelopes had
been, to the Misses Whitaker, which
would of course include Elizabeth
Whitaker, spinster. The last word
announced almost audibly, with Bit
ter smile, which attracted the atten-
ton of my pet, Cornie, who said, ten
derby, SISTER Elizabeth does your
head ache this morning?"
How my heart yearned over that ia
vorite sister of mine, the very image
of her lost father We were now lay
ing aside the sable robes worn for
three years in token of our loss. but
it seemed to me that I should always
wear the calm, sober tints of second
mourning, and in my Utmost soul the
memory of that idoIized parent would
be enshrined.
My own mother I cannot remember;
she dropped and faded when I was an
infant; and my step-mother kind and
indulgent as she ever was to me, was
not one to call forth the ardent affec-
ton, which but few had power to
awaken in my heart. Gentle, dignified
and reserved, she had bequeathed these
same characteristics to her eldest
child. the golden-haired Lottie.
But Cornie was like our father, the
same buoyant spirit, strong will and
impulsive affection. the same dark,
curling hair and eyes of laughing
blue.
l thought of all this as I watched |
her fondly on that June morning. and |
recalled how 1 had been a second |
time orphaned when her mother was |
taken from us fifteen years ago. Since |
that time, when Cornie was four years /
old, she had been to me as much
daughter as a sister.
Lottie, who was five years her
senior. had always been so self-reliant
and womanly that l could never regard
her as needing that loving watchful-
ness that our younger sister seemed
to require, and the relations between
us could never be so tender and affec-
tionate.
AS reflected thus, long after we had
left the breakfast-room and were seat
ed in my little parlor, 1 reasoned with
myself that it was but natural that 1
should be omitted in the plans for en-
joyment formed by the young people
of Caldwell. The mothers were not
invited with the daughters. Why
should I expect TO go with Cornie, my
These reflections made me more calm
and content, and 1 could bid my sis
-ers smiling adieu when they left me
early in the evening.
Cornie came back to give me a sec
ond kiss, and whispered, Il wish you
we're going, too, you old darling"
"Old," I repeated to myself. Yes,
hat is the word"
And that night looked more atten-
lively than was my wont into my mir

NO TRUTH IN 1T.


Sensational Story That Gen. Gomez
Has DepOsed "President'' Capote.
That is supremely ridiculous" said
Senor Gonzalo de Quesada, the Cuban
charge d'affaires. when his attention was
called this morning to a dispatch from
Havana in a New York paper. stating that
Gen. Gomez had deposed Gen." Capote
from the presidency of the Cuban repub-
lie.
There is a Gen. Capou in the Cuban
amy, and there is DR.. Domingo Mendez
Capote, who is the vice president of the
republic He was one of the members of
the assembly, was elected its president;
was on the committee that drew the new
constitution, and. although spoken of as
a candidate for the presidency Of the re-
public, was not voted for for that position,
but was elected vice president, Bentolome
Maso being elected president
Two months tefore the election Gen.
Gonez openly expressed his support of
Gen. Maso for the presidency, but took
no part in the election. He was then and
has been since, in command of the forces
in Los Villas, hundreds of miles from the
capital. The only thing that is true in
the dispatch is the assertion that President
Maso was one Of the last to lay down arms
in the ten-years' war and that It Is utterly
impossible to approach him with any terms
short of Independence.

BELT r. II. BONDHOLDERs.
Meeting Called to Determine Future
Procedure.

Meeting Called to Determine Future
Procedure.
There will be a meeting tomorrow morn
ing of the bondholders of the Belt Railway
Company to consider the best course to
pursue In the present emergency. 1t is not
known, of course. what action the bond
holders will take. but it Is thought the
court will be asked to direct that the road
be carried on in the future at an expendi-
ture that will be at least within the re-
ceipts.
If as the receiver states the present
schedule is too expensive, then it will be
claimed that a reduction should be made
in the expenses SO as to prevent an over
tapping Of the receipts.
1t is probable that the court will be asked
to direct the receiver to operate the road
on this basis, and in case he should not be
willing to do so, then, 1t is said, the bond
holders will undertake to do it.
1t is further said that if those whom the
receiver represents should agree not to
prolong or continue the present litigation
by taking an appeal that the bondholders
would be willing to run the road until
other arrangements could be made.

COLUMBIAN UNIVERSITY.
Proposed Changes In Government
Favored by President Whitman.

Proposed Changes In Government t
Favored by President Whitman.
AT a meeting OF the corporation of the
Columbian University last June q form of
bill supplemental to the act of February
Q, 1921, Incorporating the Columbian Col
lege was adopted. The president of the
university, DR.. Whitman, and member
of the board, Mr.. Charles w. Needham.
were appointed a committee to present the
matter to Congress and ask that the bill
decided upon be passed This bill was in
troduced in the Senate by Mr.. Frye last
July and is now before the Senate commit
tee on the District Of Columbia
DR.. Whitman and Mr.. Needham have
written Mr.. Mcmillan, chairman OF the
Senate District committee, in part, as fol-
lows:
The provisions of the bill are to vest the
control in a single board of trustees, to
change the term of office of trustees and
to set forth in the charter, in express
terms, what has always been the fact, that
the university Is under the control of the
Baptist denomination.
THE first and second amendments will,
1t is believed by the board, secure more
active and efficient services on the part of
the members Of the board for the reason
that their Office will be dependent some
what upon their service and influence as
trustees, whereas now they are elected for
life without express power in the corpora
ton to remove any trustee for any cause.
The third amendment will enable the uni
versity to secure endowments and con-
tributions for its support and maintenance
which are nov withheld because prosp.,-
tive donors are in doubt as to what per-
manent body is responsible for the conduct
and maintenance of the institution. Ii is
not the purpose to make the teaching
work of the institution UNCONVENTIONAL
but only to cast upon a body of Christian
people the duty and obligation Of support
ing the university"

AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Return Of the President and Members of the
Cabinet.
Few Callers Will Be Received Owing
to the Necessity of Considering
Important Business.

President and Mrs. Mckinley and the
members of the party that went from here
to Canton to attend the funeral of the
PresldentS mother. returned to the city
this morning at II o'clock, having left Can
ton last night on a special train. Several
OF the friends of the President accom-
panied him to Washington. Among these
were Whitelaw Reid ard Editor Kohlsaat
of Chicago.
The President looks worn out from the
long vigil at the bedside of his mother
but he went to his Office within a few min
utes after entering the White House. On
his desk he found an accumulation of i'm
pcrtant matters. He will devote most of
the day to going over these.
The President Will receive few callers
the remainder of this week. 1t will be
absolutely necessary for him to have some
time to attend to important affairs demand
ing consideration. 1t is thought that a few
nCminat tions will be made before the Senate
adJourr.s Saturday. These will be of per-
sons agreed upon a good while ago.
Another new rule has made its appear
ance among the printed regulations at the
White House. 1t is as follows: mo in
spection of rooms other than the East room
Will be allowed, excepting upon the writ
ten authority of the secretary to the Presl-
gent or the officer In charge of public build
lngS and grounds
For years there has been an unwritten
rule about the inspection of the blue, green
and red rooms. When these rooms were
not in use by members of the White House
family they were open to inspection by
members of the families of congressman
and others in official life. The White
House ushers have had to discriminate in
the matter Of who to admit, and when to
admit them. When there has been blame
heretofore at failure to admit visitors it
has fallen upon these officials. The new
order will change this, as Mr. Porter's au-
thorlty Will have to be produced before
the ushers will open the rooms
