AN IMPORTANT 4NNOUNCEuEyT


The Century Dictionary and Cyclic
pedia is the most complete of its kind
in the English language. AT its retail
rate its cost is too heavy for many who
would like to possess it. The Bee has
found n way to give to each of one thou
Il of its friends and readers n COM
plete set of the Century Dictionary and
C~yclopedia at wholesale price.
The opportunity to get this invalu-
able work nearly at cost and with all
booksellers profits and agents commits
sions done away with should be made
the most of. Newspaper readers to
rea to best advantage should nave n
dictionary and encyclopedia at their
elbow.
The habit of consulting reference
works is M of the most helpful a young
man or woman car acquire. 1t makes
the knowledge n and fastenS in the
mind what without such clinching would
soon slip away from it.
But this habit cannot be acquired and
the information cannot be obtained I'M
less the reader has the reference work
necessary TO supply the information.
This is the precise aim of The Bee in
its Century Club. That The Century
Dictionary and Cyclopedia is the best
OF reference works is acknowledged
today by all competent critics. Any
community would be greatly benefited
if II set of The Century could be placed
in every household.
Horace Greeley once said of Lincoln
that on every day that passed he ac-
quircd some new knowledge, and that
in course of years this knowledge had
amounted to more than a college educa-
ton. If every person who reads the
morning paper will make it IL rule 10
acquire full and accurate information
from The Century Dictionary and Cyclic
pedia on the different topics or subjects
suggested by the paper, he will find
that his fund of information will in
crease as did that of Mr.. Lincoln.

The government of Venezuela has just
completed u handsome monument at a
cost of $4,000 to the memory of the
ten Americans captured in General
~iIiranda's expedition and executed at
Caracas by order of Spain in July, 1906.
This is the second monument erected to
Americans who gave their lives for the
cause of Venezuelan Independence and
demonstrates that whatever else that
country may be it is grateful for sery-
ices rendered in the hour of need. Thh
incident further recalls the fact that
the countries Of South America in their
struggles for liberty had no better
friends than the people of the United
States, who seem to have been destined
from the beginning TO perform the task
just accomplished of breaking the power
OF Spanish tyranny and driving it for
ever from the continent of America.

New National Cemetery,

NtlISdS lily star.
IL IS sufficient to m it that the
IDEA OF the purchase of ground by the
United States on San Juan hill for a park
meets the approval of General Leonard
Wood. General Woods proposal is that a
portion of the ground shall be set apart
as an American cemetery and as a site for
a mortuary chapel, the remainder to be
devoted to the purposes of a public park.
This would serve as a monument to those
who fought and fell at San Juan. 1t
would show how, in a foreign land, that
the American republic cares for and re-
members her dead and would mark the spot
of an American victory.

The real American, not the average, but
the typical American, is the complex and
combined resultant of the many races that
have come to this continent for the last four
centuries. His mother land is the world.
1t Is precisely this fact that has made pos
slble the uneXampled achievements of the
past, and it enables us to look to the future
with sober, but confident, courage. The en-
ergy, Independence and aspirations of the
strongest in each Of the nationalities that
make up the American nationality belong to
1t by inheritance and development.

AS might have been expected, the pO-
sition of Bishop Potter and DR.. RaiuS-
ford on the saloon has stirred up the
New York prohibitionists. They have
raised the hue and cry after these two
reverend gentlemen, who in turn are
fighting back, not with the gentle an
swer that tUrneth away wrath, but by
calling their asSailantS blockheadS and
phariSeeS. OF course this is not The
best way to settle these difficulties, but
from their very nature they are not
capable of n settlement. Bishop Polter's
proposition that the saloon, under proper
conditions, is not an evil but IL pos
tive benefit is hopelessly at variance
with the idea that perdition lies in every
glass of in,OXicants. CandOr must COM
pei the admission that the controversy
will be barren of results. No more can
the bishop convince the prOhibitiOniSts
of the correctness of his theory than
can the latter force adoption and OBJ
%servancc of their ideas. The conflict
between the brethren will 90 on for Il
time and then die of sheer WEAKNESS,
leaving the size of results accomplished
like unto Il pin prick in the middle of
the ocean.

Congressional funeral junkets have be-
come most nauseating to the whole people
Oh the country. For congress to incur
$4,000 as the expenses for the funeral of
a member of the body is absolutely incon-
sistent with the decency and dignity which
should characterize funeral occasions. So
far from being tributes of respect to the
dead members, they are usually mere roll
licking junketing parties indulging in
every possible extravaganza because the
government is expected to pay the bills.

From every western state comes the
same story told in Nebraska-the tide

western farm lands. Farmers are not
always prosperous any more than are

The favorable comment being be-

to us, but the world can now see that
those conditions were owing TO Il hasty

Parisians had heard Of the late
Jay Gould and his high-piled millions
of money, but for the past two years
they have been receiving a special OBJ
1ect-lesson on the power OF wealth
in new-wor.d hands, in the effort Of his
daughter. the Countess de Castellane,
to reproduce In Paris the palace Of the
Grand Trianon, as built by the French
Kings at Versailles more than two
centuries ago. Three quarters of an
acre of land was bought at the inter
section Of the Avenue du Bois de Bou-
logne and the Avenue Malakoff, at an
expense Of close to a million of dol
lars. this being the most costly resi-
Dental site in Paris. Public interest
has been made keen by the announce
ment that while the exterior would
hold true to the Fourteenth century.
the interior was TO be a blending Of
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth periods,
IL the Gould millions and the cunning
of the French architects could com
pass this unique desire. The revival OF
two historic periods in French archi-
tectural history was so remarkable an
undertaking that from its beginning
the progress OF this house has been
followed with such a wide interest as
has been given to few purely private
building projects. In May the family
was occupying the central portion, but
the interior decoration of the two
wings probably cannot be completed
in less than two years more. When
II became known such a mansion was
to be attempted many of the French
said II would take twenty years to
build and furnish with art treasures;
but western enterprise and local in
genuity promise its compilation in a
fifth of the sSl. The property will
then have cost thirty millions o,

ranged for the Castellanes went to

palace, but coveted the eleven ceilings
