GOETHE'S LAST LOVE.
Baroness Won His Heart in 1922
and Still Cherishes His
Memory.

AS 81 years have elapsed since
Goethe's death, very few persons now
living can have seen him in the flesh.
Baroness Ulrike Won Levetzow, how
ever, who has just kept her ninety-ffth
birthday at Triblitz, in Bohemia, not
merely knew the poet, but was even
privileged to stir the last embers of the
tender passion in his susceptible
though aged breast.
In 1923, then a lovely girl of 10, she
accompanied her mother to Marienbad,
where the author of "Faust" was max
ing his annual cure.
Dazzled by her beauty, he succeeded
without difficulty in getting an intro
duction, and there ensued on his part
serious attachment, cordially recip-
rocated, it is said, by the lady herself.
Fear of ridicule prevented Goethe
contracting marriage of the May and
December type. He tore himself away,
writing the well-known "Marienbad
Elegy'' in the post chaise that took him
back to Weimar
Ulrike, having thus won the title of
"Goethe's last love- remained salts
fed with this distinction for the rest
of her life, and is still "Freifraulein' -
Won Levetzow, although her wealth and
beauty attracted many suitors. She
enjoys perfect health, and devotes her
self to the welfare of the poor on her
large estates.-London Chronicle.

MOVE AND SAVE RENT.
A New York Custom That Is of Equal
Benefit to Tenants and
Truckmen.

Before the era of apartment houses
the ordinary tenancy in New York was
a yearly one, dating from May 1. Now
in many cases owners of apartment
houses have adopted the practice of
renting by the month. An objectiona-
BILE tenant who had years lease and
continued to pay his rent promptly
could not easily be dispossessed, and for
this, and other reasons nearly as good,
the plan of renting by the month be-
came general. One effect of it has been
to work considerable benefit to two inn
portant classes of persons in New York
tenants and truckmen. 1t is this
wise: A tenant vacates an apartment
on or soon after the first of the month.
1t is vacant for some days-perhaps a
week. Inquiries are made of the owner,
agent or janitor. Prospective tenants
are, all of them, undecided. Then the
suggestion is made that the balance of
the month will be free to desirable
tenant. The desirable tenant pays
months rent, which includes not only
the ensuing month but also the re-
naming portion of the month preced-
ing, and is, thereby, one, two or three
weeks rent free, consideration which
is of considerable Importance to those
who move two or three times year and
are, perhaps, believers in the philoso-
ply of the well-known adage: 1T is
cheaper to move than pay rent" This
practice has led to very material re-
duction in the revenues of landlords
and to corresponding benefit to ten
ants collectively.
Tenants, however, are not the only
gamers by this new system. Formerly
the truckman enjoyed his chief harvest
on or about May 1, and to a minor de-
gree he had harvest on or about the
first of each month. At other times
there might be little demand for his
services. He found business slack.
With the establishment of the present
method, however, all this is changed.
Removals take place at any time in the
month. The services of the truclzmen
are in pretty uniform demand.-N. Y.

Says United States Must Side in the
Alignment of Nations.

CHICAGO, Dec. Eff Great Britain Is
ultimately successful in South Africa the
powers Of the world will unite to resist
successfully her advance. A coalition will
be formed against British domination and
when this war Of the nations comes which
side will the United States take? We must
take one side or the other. That will be
q sad day for our nation Yet, I say. we
never have got into scrape yet that we
did not get out Of. And as a prophetic
American tell you we never SHALL"
The foregoing statement was made by
Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews, former presi-
dent of the Brown university and now
superintendent of the Chicago public
schools, in his address on THE War in
South Africa" at the Bethel African Meth
odist Episcopal church last evening. The
occasion was the mems Sunday Forum

hearers by the declaration that internation-
al war inevitably would follow the success
of Great Britain In the Boer war. He an
nounced that from the moment Kruger's
followers surrendered. England necessarily
would come in conflict with other powers in
carrying out it's plans Of colonization.
The address of DR.. Andrews was heard
by an audience that packed the chapel.
Several times he referred to the wrongs of
the African people, both in the United
States and in Africa, and his words brought
out great cheering.
