THE TERMS TOO HARSH
Chinese Embassy Here Knows Moth
ing of the Reports.
OUR OFFICIALS CONTINUE HOPEFUL
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington. Dec 28.-The Chinese En-
bassy here is without information on the
reports that Emperor Kwang Su does not
approve the demands submitted by the
powers. Some say, however, the view
Prevails in Chinese quarters that the
terms were so harsh that it would be
difficult to secure their acceptance. A
report was in circulation that one of the
Chinese ENJOYS was opposed to accepting
the terms. but it is not known wheth
this report came from any authoritative
source. 1t was understood also that Ii
Hung Changes illness might have some
effect In retarding the negotiations.
The State Department has received
nothing from Mr.. Conger to indicate that
Emperor Kwang Su opposes the accept
ance OF the peace terms. The officials
continue to be hopeful of an early ac-
ceptance. The points referred to as OBJ
jectionable to the Chinese. chiefly the
maintenance of the Legation guards are
not regarded here as likely to form seri-
Gus barriers TO an agreement, as all of
the powers probably will give visible evil
dence, at an early day OF their purpose
to reduce the legation guards as soon as
China shows good faith in accepting the
conditions.
In some diplomatic quarters, it is be-
lleved that the reported opposition of the
Emperor will not lead to rejection OF
the demand. but to the submission of a
counter proposition or inquiry from
China. This would save China her rights
to accept the terms at a later period
while in the meantime seeking TO reduce
their severity.

Ss$ssss$s$s&$$$$SSsSsE :

A very, very long time ago there
lived a people called the Greeks who
were so fond of the fairy stories that
hey told them not only to their child
rem, but also to one another; a1d very
beautiful stories they were. too, all
about the fairies, or gods. as they
called them, who lived in the sea, the
mountains, the rivers, the WOODS, even
in the moon and the sun.
1t is Of the sun Iairy or god, Apollo,
l shall tell you. He was very strong,
handsome young man, and his duty
was to drive the sun chariot" car of
gold and silver and jewels-through
the sky. Apollo, like all the other
gods, sometimes took upon himself the
form of a human being. and came
among mortals. Once, when he did
this, he fell in love with very beau
tiful woman and married her, but she
told no one who her husband really
was for fear they would not believe
her. She had three daughters, but
only one son, Phaeton.
When Phaeton grew old enough to
go to school, his companions began to
ask him about his father. why he was
never seen, where he kept himself,
and lot Of such questions which the
poor boy could not answer, for he did
not know his father was Apollo. They
teased him and made him very un-

Arrl,ultural Explorer in Franco.

Mr.. Walter j. Swingle, agricultural
explorer for the United States depart
ment of agriculture, arrived in France
a few days ago, and is now in Algeria
buying 200 date palms which are to be
shipped to Arizona. The department
of agriculture considers the climate
and soil Of Arizona favorable to the de-
velopment of the date palm and will
therefore undertake an experiment on
a large scale, to cultivate this fruit in
the United States. Mr.. Swingle is also
closely examining tie properties of
the wheat employed by the local
manufacturers of maccaroni and semo-
lima products in general, with view
to introducing the culture of similar
wheat into the United States. Ameri-
can shippers to French markets could
considerably extend their trade to this
country If they could furnish wheat
containing a higher percentage Of glu-
ten, as nearly all of the foreign wheat
consumed in France is imported solely
for the sake of the gluten it imparts
to mixtures with French wheat.-Wil-
liam c. Bohrmann, in Chicago Record.

could do with them. He simply had
to let them go wherever they liked
and they went all wrong. They went
too far south, leaving the north In
the cold, and great mountains of Ice
and snow formed which are there yet.
1t would have been bad enough IL they
had gone only too far south, but they

earth, and then a dreadful state of af-

burned and scorched the people living
in Africa, and they are negr )es to

the gods cried out to Jove, their king,
to save them. He, the most powerful
god of all, lived above the clouds, and
his weapon was the thunderbolt
When he heard his name called, he
looked down and saw that the sun
would soon set fire to the whole earth,
but the only way that he could save
it was to strike Phaeton with thun-
derbolt, and, as he knew that would
kill him, he hesitated Again he heard
his name called, this time by the gods
and mortals, too

ing!" they cried.
He hesitated no longer. but drew
one of his thunderbolts and cast IT at
Phaeton, killing him instantly. The
chariot was broken in pieces, the
horses Of fire dashed back to their
stalls in the sun palace, and poor
Phaeton pitched headlong down into

the water, and, being sorry for the
poor foolish boy, who had tried 10 do
what was beyond his strength, took
him on shore and buried him, Carving
his name on a stone at his head. When
his mother and sisters heard where he
was buried they came to visit his
grave and mourn for him. His mother
felt that her heart would break, and
his sisters seemed to feel even worse
If possible, for they stood day after
day, at the grave by the river, their
tears dropping on the soil at their
feet. Their mother, fearing they
would be ill, begged them to go home
but they refused, and stood quite still,
weeping all day. Then she thought
perhaps they would die and she would
have to place them in a tomb beside
her son. That was more than she
could bear, and she implored Jove
to spare her the sight of her daughters
being laid in a grave. He heard her
and granted her request without a
word. When the poor mother looked
at her daughters again their feet had
sunk into the earth, their skin had be-
come hard, and their hair was turning
into green leaves-a moment more
and they had been changed to poplar
trees, but their tears still fell, and as
they fell they hardened and became
amber, which may be found to this
day in the sand by the river.

happy. The boy, in sorrow, went to
his mother, telling her what his
schoolmates had said. She told him
that his father was Apollo, the sun
god, who, having to drive the sun
chariot all day, could come TO them
only at night. He could scarcely be-
lieve his cars. 1t seemed too wonder
full to be true. And then he fell to
dreaming of the sun palace away off
in the east, and wondering what 1t
was like, until he could be still no
longer, but decided to go there and
see for himself. So, without saying a
word to anyone, he left his home and
ran as fast as he could towards the
rising sun. He was very tired when
he reached it, for it was a long way,
but after a time he heard some enc
say:
"Why, my son, what brings you
here?"
Phaeton shaded his eyes with his
hand because the light was so bright,
and saw before him his father, in a
purple robe, sitting on throne of
jewels.
"Oh, father" he cried, then it is
true! You are really the sun god!"
YES" answered Apollo, and he took
off the crown of sunbeams he wore,
for it was too bright for Phaeton to
look at. And now that you have come
oil this way to see me, Phaeton, tell
me something you would like, and l
promise to give it to you"
Phaeton ran to him, breathless with
pleasure, for there was one thing he
wanted above all others, and he knew
that what his father had promised he
would surely do.

fear. "You must not ask that, you are
not strong enough. You do not know
the way, and you could not hold the
Eorses. Ask me something else"
But nothing else would do for Phae-
ton. and Apollo, having promised him
anything he wished, was forced to let
him have his way. He ordered the
chariot to be brought, and while 1t
was coming he put the crown of sun
beams on Phaeton's head, and told
him as we'll as he could how to keep
