BECOMING FESTIVE.
The doo-GoO Eyes England Has
Been Making at Johnny Hay
Are Losing Their Charm.

The Washington correspondent Of
THE NEWS writes
| Even the Anglomaniacal department
of state is becoming FESTIVE under the
efforts, evidently inspired by high
sources, of the British press to make il
appear that the United States is tied
hand and foo to the British policy in
China. Not only is this untrue, so it is
said, but the administration is at last
waking up to the fact that its interests
in China are not unit with those of
Britain, and that the latter has be-
trayed it more than once since the
troubles over there began. AS matters
stand today it is perfectly apparent
that Britain does not care how long
Central China is in state of unrest.
Her trade interests are almost wholly
in the south, which has been undis-
turbed, and where her merchants are
making lots of money. On the other
hand, Central China, in which the
United States had built up a great
trade, occupying the field almost ex-
clusivelr, has been looted and ravish-
ed until the purchasing power of the
people is nil and will remain so for
years to come Russia, on the other
hand, dominates Manchuria under a
plan much similar to that by which
England holds Egypt. She has an
army of about $4,000 men there who
have restored order and who police the
whole great province. Since she has
been in control American trade has
increased by leaps and bounds, practi-
cally all the present American exports
to China going to that part of the en-
pire. Britain naturally objects to her
hereditary foe establishing herself,
even under "A pledge to evacuate in
time, in so vast a country and wishes
the United States 70 join her in driv-
ing Russia out Hence, the flood of
transformation that pours into the
United States via London Advices to
the state department direct give reas-
on to believe that all the wild tales of
war between Russia and Japan, and of
Russian spoliatiOn and murder are con-
cocted in London for the benefit of the
United States. They show, too, that
the Russians have been as merciful as
any power, although Russian territory
was invaded in the first place and hun
dreds of Russians killed Certainly
Russia has been far more merciful |
than Germany, whose campaign of re
venge could not have been carried out
except with the consent of England
campaign, by the way, which injured
American trade hundred times more
than it did either German or British.
The eyes of Secretary Hay are report
elk to have at last been opened to the
way in which he has been deluded and
misled, and it is possible that he may
face squarely about some day and as
tonish the Britishers.

ed, when Elizabeth died. The Oath of
the preceding December was the first
time that the ghost had made itself
known.
1t was heard then by two watchers,
so the story goes. 1t walked half the
night through, and it walled most hor-
ribly. The men chung to one another
in terror and knew not what it meant.
Once it spoke, so one of them said
but the other denied it. Elizabeth
shall die; she who beheld me captive"
were her words.
At any rate, Elizabeth died within
the year.
1t was the same way when James l
died. Walkings and wailings were
heard, and in March he surrendered
the throne which he had held.
Then came Charles l. There were
political troubles; he was overthrown.
He finally stirred up fresh civil war
and Scottish invasion in 1913, and
his death followed. He was beheaded
on a scaffold outside the windows OF
Whitehall and there ended his story.
The Christmas eve before his execu-
ton a woman passing the Tower of
London, hurrying home late in the
night, for she was alone and timid
heard a long sad cry from the top of
the Tower. She could see no light,
and when she inquired next day she
learned that no one had been known to
be in the Tower the preceding night.
All entrances were closed. Maurauders
had not been noticed in that eastern
end of the city.
'Nor did it sound like maurauders,"
affirmed the woman. Sure it sound
ed more like the voice of one that is
dead and gone. 1t was far off like and
yet near, and it had the sound of a
great trouble that there is no rene
dyin Of"
So the tale was told time and again
just before the death of each succeed
ing sovereign. The second Charles
and James passed away and William
and Mary in their turns and Queen
Anne in hers The four Georges fol-
lowed in succession and William w
and always came the warning.
1t has been the loudest and most
terrifying when the death was violent.
Victoria, loving sovereign, long and
peaceful of reign, was so gently warn
ed that only one within the Tower, so
the guard says. could have heard the
sounds. There was infinite sadness in
them, but no terror.
"Or there would have been no terror
if they had come in the day." he adds.
1T was fearsome like in the night.
One allus fears more when it happens
than on the day afterward when one
thinks it over. 1t don't seem now to
be anything to run for, but did want
to run when l heard it, that's true
enough"
Ghost or no ghost, Victoria died.

A DENVER HEROINE.
The Beauty'S Hat Pin Too Much
for the Burglar.

Miss Georgianna Thompson, a pretty
girl of Denver, is a heroine. The other
night she heard a noise at her door.
She was sure it was burglar Throw
ing the door open suddenlt, the burg
lar was precipitated into the room and
fell fat on the floor Before he could
rise Miss Thompson was sitting upon
him with long hatpin III her hand.
Every time the man moved or attempt
ed to displace her she jabbed Aim with
the hatpin, meantime screaming lusti-
lY for help between jabs and warnings
that the next thrust would be worse.
Not even burglar nerve was equal to
the emergency, so the man finally lay
still to avoid the cruel pin, and after
keeping her seat for half an hour with
the weapon poised for instant execu-
ton Miss Thompson had the pleas ure
of handing her prisoner over to a po
liceman.

which he said had been delivered at his

about four inches long and three inches
wide with a cover that screwed ON. The

that the box contained about quarter OF

the unscrewing of the lid would be likely
to cause an explosion. Mr.. ROuss was

After Ten Years. Separation.
Little Dolly Richards, a brunette beau
ty of fourteen summers, has recently gone
to Chicago to join her father, whom she
had not seen for ten years. Mrs. Chase
an actress. in whose charge Dolly was
given, disappeared from Brazil, Ind, ten
years ago and never sent her address TO

across the river. Finally Mrs. Chase
went to Omaha last spring. She had be-
come infatuated with her black-eyed lit
tie charge and saw a great future for her
on the stage. Mrs. Chase died suddenly
five years ago, leaving the little ward
alone in a city full of strangers. The
attention of the child savings institute
was brought to the case and the girl was
taken into the hospital shelter. Through
the cooperation of the Chicago Children s
Aid Society the girls father was found to
be living on Colorado avenue in a brown
stone front, having married again anu
being in good circumstances. He at once
sent word to Omaha asking that his
daughter be returned to him.
