FRANCE THE TEUTONIC.
Parts of the Republic Arc as Much
German as the Fatherland.

OeFMNn as tne Fatherl0n0.
The northern third of France and
half of Belgium are today more Teu-
tonic than the south Of Germany. This
should not occasion surprise when we
remember the incessant downpour Of
Teutonic tribes during the whole his
toric period. 1t was constant pro-
cession of Goths from all points of the
compass = Franks. Burgundians and
others.
France was entirely overrun by the
Franks, with the exception Of Brittany,
by the middle of the sixth century. All
through the middle ages this part of
France was German in language and
customs as well. The very name of
the country is Teutonic. 1t has the
same origin as Franconia, in southern
Germany. In S12 the council of Tours,
away down south, ordained that every
bishop should preach both in the Ro-
manic and the Teutonic languages.
The Franks reserved their German
speech 400 years after the conquest.
Charlemagne was a German His
courtiers were all Germans. He lived
and governed from outside the limits
of modern France. The Able Sieyes
uttered an chronological truism when,
in the course Of the French revolution,
he cried out against the French aris-
tocracy, "Let us send them back to
their German marshes whence they

The WAY to Win STRENGTH.

The Romans won their empire by at
tacking their enemies one by one. Be
sides this, they did not attack a new
enemy until they had conquered the
old enemy They went farther still
and like the English in conquering In
dia used their late enemies, and this
is what we should do in learning and
practicing games and athletics. 1t is
of little use to try to conquer the whole
empire at once. First conquer a part
and make it your own. Then proceed
to a second part and conquer that;
and, if you can, let the parts which
you have already conquered help you
to conquer fresh parts.-Eustace Fl.
Mills in Saturday Evening Post.

" HIS FIRST RECOGNITION.
The Turning Point In the Career of
Nathaniel Hawthorne,

The first reading Of "The Scarle.
Letter. has been told in I. W. Hig-
ginson's book Of essays, "Contempo-
raries." The reading was given to
the authors dearest critic, his wife.
During the entire winter when he was
at work upon the book he seemed op-
pressed by some secret anxiety.
There was knot in his forehead
all the time" said Mrs. Hawthorne.
Finally one evening he went to her
and said that he had written something
which he would like to read aloud.
The work amounted to very little, but
still he would like to read it. All that
evening he read. but as the romance
YVES unfinished at bedtime his wife
made no comments, knowing that he
disliked criticism until one had heard
the whole.
The next night he read again. and
now her suspense grew so uncomfortable
that in the midst of a moving scene
she sark from her low stool to the
floor. pressed her hands to her ears
and declared that she could not bear
to hear it.
Hawthorne put down the manuscript
and looked at her in amazement.
"Do you really feel It so much?" he
asked. "Then there must be something
in it,"
The next day the manuscript was de-
livered to the publisher. and on the
following morning Mr.. James T. Fields.
the publisher, appeared at the authors
door. When he was admitted. he caught
the little boy Of the family in his arms
and asked. You splendid little fellow
do you know what a father you have?'
He had sat up all night to read the
manuscript and had posted out to
Salem in the early morning. After his
interview with the publisher Haw-
thorne came down stairs with firm
step and walked about. his face illu-
mined by new hope and vigor The
world had found him out. Recognition
was at the door.

this represents a space of 4S9.'sSoss,ooe'-

AS A VESTED RIGHT,
Claim That Pension Cannot BE Arbf-

trarily Taken Away.
The commissioner of pensions was today
named defendant In a proceeding for in
junction instituted by Henry Lavender,
through Attorney L. Fugitt. 1t is set forth
that the plaintiff is a. United States pen
sioner, receiving $36 a month. OF this
amount S16 is for disabilities incurred in
the line Of duty as a musician in the Ma
rine Corps, paid from the general pension
fund, and $50 is for service of twenty
years and is paid from the navy pension
fund.
The petitioner says he has received from
the commissioner q communication inform
ing him that he has thirty days in which
to elect which pension he will retain; that
If he should fail to so elect he will cause
the lesser of the two pensions to terminate
The court is informed by the petitioner
that pension is a vested right, and be-
fore it can be suspended or modified the
pensioner must be furnished with copy of
the charges or complaint The petitioner
says he has not been furnished with a
copy of any charge or complaint; the only
ground alleged by the commissioner for his
contemplated action being that the Secre-
tary of the Interior holds that by reason
OF section 4715 of the Revised Statutes of
the United States the plaintiff cannot re-
ceive two pensions at the same time
The court is asked to restrain the COM
missioner from suspending or terminating
the petitioners pension or either Of them.

Chinese plenipotentiarie in signing
the protocol is causing some uneasi-
ness in the foreign community here, al.
though the ministers of the powers do
not think that the Chinese intend tn
defy the powers by ultimately refusing
to sign. Indeed, they believe China is
anxious to wind up the negotiations
speedily. DEGREES reciting the punish.
ments and suspending the examine

signatures are affixed. Prince Ching,
at the request of the empress dowager,
telegraphed to her verbatim the re-
strictions as to the importation of
arms. Ii Hung Chang, having practi-
cally conducted all the active negotia-
tions, has retired into the background,
leaving to Prince Ching the RESPONSE
bility of concentrating the work. Earl
Ii finds himself in the same precarious
position that he occupied at the close
of the negotiations following the war
with Japan. The native press is unan-
imous in violently denouncing him for
what is called his surrender to the for
eigners, and a number of officials have
petitioned the emperor to punish him
for betraying his country.

sympathy of other workmen with the re-

about 10000 tons monthly. Beyond this de-
lection, wage earners In allied branches of
the steel industry have refused to break
