Is so pretty that she is like a realiza-

she Is the lovely victim picked out to

When the present emperor of Austria

was the most beautiful princess in
Europe. Her teeth dazzled people when
she smiled and she could stand on her
own hair when she let it down. Since
then her brother-in-law was murdered
in Mexico while trying to be a real
king, and his wife is now the Mad

Locked in vile dens with only

PEELED to submit to gross indignities;
bartered like beasts-this is the horri-
BILE fate of hundreds of Japanese and
Chinese girls who are sold into slav-
cry in San Francisco and other Pa
cific coast cities. This traffic in slave
girls forms one of the most hideous
callings that history has ever record
ed, and the vile men and women who
make it their sole vocation are crea-
lures so low that murderers cannot be
classed in their category. 1t is call
ing that reaches across the Pacific
ocean into the homes of the poor peo-

Sometimes the parents of these girls,

refuse the girls are made captives and
carried away. AS a usnai thing pro-

the house where the new girls are kept
and bid for them as a stock raiser
would bid on herd of cattle. The
poor girls are bartered away, and soon
after their arrival in America they
have become prisoners in some gilded

white men compel them to submit to
the most shocking indignities. An in

has bought her, is to fill her hand with
bright coins, this for the purpose of

to this:
The Vanderbilts own the street car
rights in Fourth avenue. They dis
posed of those rights to the Metropol-

tracks were torn up. Their old cars
and horses were considered junk, no
part of the bargain. But to the Van

The census reports compned by APP
pointees Of Benjamin Harrison in 1890
in an era Of unparalleled Republican
prosperity" contain the following
| statistics
Indianapolis in 1890 contained 22,979
families. OF this number 1906 owned
their homes and 1873 were tenants.
or the number of homes owned 2,749
were mortgaged.
Kansas City contained 26,519 fam
lilies, of which 2O,3S5 were tenants. OF
the number of homes owned 1885 were
mortgaged.
Cincinnati 63,4 23 families, of which
5l,26l were tenants and 1884 owned
homes that were mortgaged.
Boston, S9,613 families, of which 49,
1O1 were tenants, and 6,41O owned
homes that were mortgaged.
Philadelphia. 2O4,292 families, OF
which 157,SO3 were tenants and 1896
owned homes that were mortgaged.
New York. S12,754 families, of which
1925 were tenants, S,1S8 owned
homes that were mortgaged and 11,610
owned homes free of incumbrance.
In the towns and cities of Indiana
there were 261,S15 homes, of which
9l,675 were occupied by the owner and
were free of incumbrance, 31,774 were
mortgaged and 1896 were occupied
by tenants.
Number of farms in Indiana 1853,
OF which 97,1e were occupied by the
owners and were free of incumbrance,
4S,O79 were mortgaged and 60,737 were
occupied by tenants.
The interest that the so-called own
er OF a home pays on a mortgage is
simply rent in another form. In plac-
ing mortgage on his home he really
sells part of it to the money lender
and pays him, not for the use of the
money, but for the use of that part of
the home which the money lender has
in reality purchased.
1t certainly makes no difference to
the farmer or city workingman whetn-
er he pays part of his earnings to
the money lender or the landlord for
the privilege of using the farm or
home.
The above notes should be sufficient
evidence that this land of the free is
last becoming a nation of landlords
and tenants. AS cities increase in
population the percentage of tenants
increases. The same is true of the
country.
There was a time when every citi-
zen residing within the present boun-
daries of the United States owned his
own home. 1t is not very many dec
AIDES since SO per cent of them owned
their homes. The tendency towards
landlordism and tenancy has become
conspicuous during the control of the
Republican party, and since the adop-
ton OF the single gold standard policy.
VIII votes for the Republican ticket
check this tendency now?

In weighty paper just prepared for
the French Bulletin Meolcal, DIR. Bru-
non, an eminent medical writer, de-
clares that the greatest national peril
hanging over France just now is alco-
holism, and more than all, alcoholism
among women. Singularly enough his
researches have demonstrated that the
women of picturesque Normandy are
more completely in the grasp of the
drink fiend than the women of any 9TH
er province of France. Drink is sold
by the grocer, the coal dealer-even by
the green grocer; and what is still
more fatal, nearly every shopkeeper
dispenses wee drops" to customers
worth cultivating-just to steady the
connection. The question assumes a
dark aspect in its relation to the ter
rible infant mortality in Normandy,
which Dr. Brunon attributes to the al
most universal prevalence of chronic
among women of the peas
ant and artisan classes.-London

How the Professors Desk Came Back al
His Own Expense.
The young lawyer has good taste in
antiques and has done much browsing
about in search of them. He knows
the places in Worcester and the neigh
boring towns where those who like old
furniture and have the money to pay
for it may find what will delight their
souls. So it was no more than natural
when the professor sold his desk, which
was of ancient design but of doubtful
age, and began looking for something
young lawyer. The man of law was
delightfully."- sympathetic. II saw just
what you want the other day." he said,
but I'm afraid it's gone now. I'll
keep my eye out for the next few
days" well, if you see anything
really good" said the professor, buy
it and hold it for me. 1t is not safe
to let a bargain go too long Only let
me know as soon as you can, so that
! won't be buying one, too. 1t would be
great favor" mot at ALL" said the
lawyer. "It's a pleasure to buy a
good thing. even if you are not to keep
it yourself" In day or two the pro-
lessor received a joyful note. The
young lawyers mother had found just
what the professor wanted-a beauty,
one of those rare old bits that they
cannot counterfeit, and such bargain,
only $40. The professor was charmed.
He Immediately sent his check to the
young lawyer with an enthusiastic
note Of thanks and request to send
up the desk, He was in the hall when
it arrived He tore off the sacking
and inspected his prize. 1t was his old
desk that he had sold few days before
for $3.50 Worcester Gazette.

There have been several instances
of mans hair turning from white
to black. One of the most notable,
perhaps, was that of an engineer in
the fire department of Louisville, Ky.
His age was 65, and he was on duty
during tremendous fire for fifteen
consecutive hours. The spray was con-
stantly flying from the hose, and he
became, in consequence of the low
temperature of the atmosphere, COW
cred from head to foot with ice. He
wore skull cap and helmet on top
of that,so that his head was the warm
est part of his body and not at all
exposed, though his eyebrows and
whiskers became wet and were frozen
stiff. The afternoon after the ex-
posture his hair, which had become
gray eight years before, and for three
years had been white, turned perfect
ly black.

One CT her cousins was the mad Louis

herself was killed by an enemy OF

But the throne of Hungary and Aus

must marry the old emperor of Austria
