WILL WORK TOGETHER.
Minister to Spain Says the Pope Desires
American Rule In Philippine Islands,
That Peace May BE Restored.

Geneva, Oct. 15.-Mr. Bellamy Stor-
er, United States minister to Spain,
in the course of conversation here
yesterday regarding his recent in
terview with the pope, said: LEO
appeared to be in much better health
than when saw him two years ago.
He is full of life and has lost none
of the interest he has had from the
first in matters relating to the church
of Rome. Since Archbishop Ireland's
visit to the vaticaneit is clearly under
stood there that the best interest of
the Roman Caholic church demand
American rule in the Philippines. The
United States and the Catholic church
have the same aims there and hope to
work together for order and peace" "
Mr.. Storer asserted that the Filipinos
had made three attempts to open ne
gotiations with the vatican, all of
which were refused.

AUSTRIA WANTS A LOAN.
Rumor That Franz-Joseph's Government
Will Come tn the United States to
Aecure 02O.OOO.OOO.

New York. Oct. 13.-As a result of
monetary disturbances abroad, Aus
tria wishes to float a large loan in
the United States. 1t is reported that
this loan will be in the neighborhood
of $20,O0Q,0O0. The plan is tentative
one so far. Austria's necessities are
growing and she would probably have
difficulty in placing a large loan on
the continent at this time. New York
is now the most attractive market
for the borrowers of the world, not
withstanding that it's bank reserves
are close to the legal limit.

Will 3e Paid.

Washington, Oct. 15.-The president
will recommend to congress the pay
ment of an indemnity to the families
of the four Italians who were the vic
Tins of a mob at Tallalu, La, about
two years ago. A report from spe-
cial agent of the department of JUS
tice clearly established the fact that
the men were killed by the mob and
that none of the perpetrators of the
crime were ever punished by the state
authorities. Notwithstanding the rep
reservations of the national govern
ment. The national government finds
itself bound to make some sort of
reparation in answer to the Italian
governments representations and
this will take the form of an indem-
nifty for each of the persons killed
who were Italian citizens at the time
of their death.

headed Jack Gresham. Well, Pm glad
| found him out, anyway. If we had

just think of having to go through life

we hadn't quarreled just now or that
there were some other young men in town
that were any fun. But all the other
young men are silly, and at the worst
he is only stupid. Dear me, but l am
lonesome"
jacks meditations for the two weeks
might be condensed into a paragraph
about as follows:
"There is no getting around it, | was
falling in love with her, but it is a good
thing I found her out when | did. Whew.
what a spitfire she is And then think
of having to live with woman who
thinks she knows more than you do!

Guess III go fishing today. No, I'll
be hanged if | will I'll go botanizing.
But darn botanizing anyway
By the Sd of July they were both lone
ly and very miserable, and Polly had not
yet decided on her unique celebration.
She had thought of exasperating Jack
by buying a lot of set pieces, each put
ting the number 20 in some different
way, and getting her little brother to set
them up in some conspicuous place where
Jack could not help seeing them from his
home. But still that would not be so
very much fun after all. Jack, on the
other hand, discovered during the two
weeks of the quarrel that not only had
he been in danger of falling in love with
Polly, but that he was in love with her,
and he argued himself into the conviction
that if they could only get into the new
century safely they would have a hun
dred years ahead of them before there
would be any chance OF anything arising
so exasperating as this end of the cen
fury dispute. After he had arrived at
this conclusion an idea came to him that
was remarkably bright, even Polly after
ward admitted, for such a stupid fellow
On the forenoon of the Fourth of July
Jack took an American flag in one hand
and flag of truce in the other and
marched gravely up to the Davis cottage
| Polly smiled in spite of herself and grant
ed the armistce.
"Have you decided yet on the unusual
celebration that you were thinking of for

Polly.

Why not celebrate this Fourth by get
ting engaged? And we can celebrate tit
next by getting married, and then vel
be sure of celebrating the right day"
Polly was so taken by surprise thai
she didn't even say, "This is so sudden"
Instead she disappeared quickly into thu
grape arbor, while Jack followed. Whel
they emerged again, they had agreed
thoroughly that they didn't care whei
any old century began, and two Fourtl
Of July celebrations had been arranged

An EngIishman,s Manper..

Note, as has long been noted. that
the only manners the Englishman cares
about are what our country cousins
call table manners" He can lay enor-
nous stress upon these without seem
ing to thaw out for they really ex-
press nothing, and meticulous nicely
in the forms of eating and drinking
pleases his innate sense of refinement
and chimes in with his dislike for max
ing mess. Yet a certain Frenchman
may not have been far wrong, after all,
In saying that 1.-THE English would sure
ly not frown so upon mans hopping
up sauce with piece of bread If they
themselves had ever had any sauce
worth hopping up" 1t may be that
the Englishmans perfection of deport-
ment at meals comes in part from a
lack of temptation to do otherwise.
But the truth is none the less apparent
that the complicated conventions re-
garding what to do and what to avoid
at table that obtain in England do
not in any way involve that outward
expressiveness which the Englishman
abhors. He can obey them without
prejudice to his impassivity. And this
cult of impassiveness, of self repres-
sion, Is essentially Spartan-that of the
savage.-Scribner's

NOTES ON THE DECLARATION.

Some, at least, if not ALL of the pa
triots who took part in the work of
congress in 1916 and knew that they
were making history expected that Jul
ly 2, and not July 4, would be recog-
nized as the birthday of American lib
erty. The Virginia delegates entered
congress under instructions to propose
q declaration of the independence of
the colonies, and in June Thomas JEFF
ferson was appointed by congress chair
man of a committee to draft declara-
ton. The spirit of this declaration was,
however, anticipated by Richard Hen
ny Lees famous resolution.
1t was July 2, 1776 that the Lee res
olution was passed that the united
colonies were, and of right ought to be,
free and Independent states. on July
4, after two days debate, the Declare
ton of Independence was read and
agreed to. but not signed On the fol-
lowing day copies were sent out
through all the colonies. On the 18th
of July it was resolved that the Decla-
ration passed on the 4th be fairly en-
crossed on parchment and signed by
every member On the I'd of August
the Declaration was signed by the ma
jority But not until the 4th of Sep
TENDER of the same year did the Hon.
Matthew Thornton sign it. There were
a number of others who did not affix
their signatures until 1871, among them
the Hon. Thomas McKean
Although the popular belief that the
Declaration was signed on July is up
held explicitly by John Adams, Thorn
as Jefferson and the printed journal of
the Continental congress, yet no candid
inquirer who examines the evidence to
disprove the date can doubt that Adj
ans and Jefferson, though both present
at the session, and the printed journal,
though it bears the authenticity of the
official sanction. We're grievously at
fault
