Here are some interesting stats
tics in regard to the heirs of living
rulers. There are 80 rulers in
Europe and 20 of them have no
male heirs. Seven of them have
one son, three have two, four have
three, one has four, three have five,
and only one, the emperor of
Germany, has six. Altogether the
80 rulers have SO male and 81 fe-
male descendants. Among these
there are "a princes and IA prin-
cesses who are the descendants of
German emperors, kings, grand
dukes and princes. In every
country except Servia the sue
cession to the throne is established
by law.-Chicago Times-Herald.

LOOK down from above on the countless herds
of men and their countless solemnities, and the
infinitely varied voyagings in storms and cams and
the differences among those who are born, who live
together and die And consider too, the life lived
by others in olden time, and the life of those who
will live after thee, and the life now lived among
barbarious nations, and how many know not even
thy name, and how many will soon forget it, and
how they who perhaps praising thee will
very soon blame thee and that neither posthumous
is of any value, nor reputation anything
else.-Marcus Aureius.

/: STORYETTES. !:
Modern Advertfsing. :

A little over half a century ago
it was considered beneath the
dignity of many substantial con-
Germs to advertise beyond the in
sertion in the newspapers of an
occasional business card. Some of
the experiences of that time show
how recently advertising, as we
know it, has developed.
A retail hardware house in an
eastern city once found itself pos
sessed of ten times the number of
articles of certain kind that it
had intended to buy. AS they had
been ordered especially for a new
hotel and were of a peculiar de-
sign, there seemed to be no way
of disposing of them except at a
merely nominal sum.
One of the younger men con-
nected with the concern offered to
"move Them at fair price pro-
vided he be permitted to adver-
tise. The suggestion encountered
much opposition, but finally a
small sum was set apart to
carry it out. The advertisement
was drafted in an attractive way,
and the people soon began to buy
the new article. Finally the house
was obliged to send to the manu-
facturer's for more. When the
next seasons trade opened, the
member of the firm who had most
opposed the experiment whispered
to the young man that he had
better write out a few notices "and
put them in the papers"
From such beginnings the adj
vertising practice has come. Thou
sands of dollars are now spent not
only in advertising itself, but in
devising clever catch words, in.
genious phrases and illustrations
which will stick in the memory OF
the reader as we'll as new general
methods.-Youth's Companion.

BUSINESS is rushing among the bandits this fall;
ransoms are advancing steadily, and the abduction
market holds firm. Never has there been more
prosperous autumn, and if trade continues the
members of the Amalgamated order will hold a
convention in December, looking toward consolida-
ton and cooperation. "Silverspot," the mysterious
P. Grove, reports that the Nebraska market still
holds firm, and the hard working, yet promising,
little Bulgarian band is making quite stir
in the financial world by their original method of
dealing cold hands and raising the ante The mail
order business also continues brisk

The house Of deputies of the Episcopal con-
vention rejected the relating divorce and
marriage passed by the house of bishops last week,
which action gives the church three years more to
consider the matter before coming to final de-
cision. The canon, passed by the bishops,
virtually forbade the remarriage of divorced persons
whether they were to blame for the separation or
not and also provided for the disciplining of Eps-
copalians marrying again after being divorced.
The house of deputies, composed largely of lay
members of the church. felt that the proposed
were too radical and in this it received the support
of the press of the country.
That the church, which heretofore has avoided
any innovations along this line, should find it nee
essary to seriously consider the question is another
large hint that something is radically wrong with
our divorce laws. The sentiment of the people is
that they must be made more uniform and less
farcial. What can be more absurd than Mr.. Geb-

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT had Booker T. Washing
ton to dinner at the White House one evening last
week. and now the cultured south is standing on it's
hind legs and paving the air. The president has
been very severely criticised and there is talk Of
changing the plans for his entertainment at Charles
ton this winter.
Why in the name of all that is infamable
shouldn't Mr.. Roosevelt ask Mr.. Washington to dine
with him if he sees fit to do so? Mr. Washington
is his friend he has visited him frequently at Oyster
Bay, he is gentleman and scholar, and the fact
that he is colored is merely matter Of detail
If he had been yellow red instead of black one
would have thought anything of the matter.
The majority of the people who say they want
to elevate the colored seem to think that the
way to do it is to deluge the south with tracts which
the colored is unable to read, to sit quietly
at home figuring out how this government could ship
all the colored people in the country to Africa; now
and then they attend lecture the subject, after
which they say the must be educated, and then
they send off another bunch of foolish literature and
some old clothes to the black belt. Mr.. Washington
goes down and educates them and if there is such
thing trace problem in this country he should
receive the support of every thinking man.
The idea that all men are born equal is rot of
course. They're not. But the difference between man
and man is not difference of color any than
and breeding And, anyway, one would think that
President Roosevelt is eminently qualified to choose
his friends.

From time immemorial men in prison have
whiled away time by writing. In fact the desire to
put ones thoughts paper to be part of
prison ife-perhaps, however, it is only a way
prisoners have of getting even with the world Be
that it may the of the books that have been
conceived within prison walls is legion. There have
been many histories books on philosophy, religious
books books of travel and adventure and even
biographies, but, SO far we know, but one love
story trace it's origin to prison-'Aucassin and
Nicolete.''
This charming tale was written by man-his
name is long since forgotten confined in French
dungeon early in the twelfth century It is not only
most dainty and interesting story but is absolutely
unique, being the only of the ancient song
stories to escape the ravages of time and find it's way
to the prosaic twentieth century.
The charm of "Aucassin and Nicolete" is in
descrbable and yet it is not due in the least to the
matter contained in it. Nicoete is of the purely
conventional type with fair hair blue eyes, cherry
lips and somewhat insipid ideas; Aucassin is the
belted spurred knight 'true to hys ladye love- Nat
urally enough there is villain in the book in the
person of Aucassin's father, who does his best to
separate the lovers. both of whom are cast into
prison only to escape and live happily after.
No. the matter has little to do with the charm of the
story It lies in the sympathy of the author with
his pair of lovers in the enthusiasm with which he
espouses their cause and in the gentle kindness
with which the tale is told.
There is something mighty pleasant in the
thought of that old captive following the
fortunes of his creations through the wildwood,
where Nicolete built her bower of green bows, where
the trees and the water sings it's way to the
sea, where the winds lullabies through the
branches, where the stars dance merrily to keep
warm and where the moon lights up the brief sum-
mer nights; it is pleasant to think of him. forgeful
of his surroundings oblivious to the past, present
and future riding forth to adventure with Aucassn
and Nicolete. And Notwithstanding the fact that
he was philosopher this old chap was made of the
right stuff with red blood flowing in his veins for
when Aucassin was warned that he would 60 to hell
should he marry Ncolete, he replies, by your leave
that he had nothing to win in Paradise if his lady
be not there, and, since there is plenty of good
company in the other place, there he would gladly
go, let but have with me, Nicolete my sweetest
| lady"
Little did that prisoner in the long ago imagine
that his story would brighten the lives of other
prisoners eight hundred years later that it would
grace the shelves of such an nconceivable thing
prison library. The tale has lived and will live
because as it's author intended it should it delights
