KING AND QUEEN AT HOME.
Interesting Glimpses of the Ruler or
Greece and His Consort

Interesting Glimpses of the Ruler of
Greece and His Consort.
Some interesting glimpses of the king
and queen of Greece are given in the
introduction to Eugene Schuyler's es-
says, just published. When Mr.. and
Mrs. Schuyler were about to leave Ath-
ems, in the sos, they were invited to the
kings country palace at Dekeleia to
say goodbye: 1T was all quite charm
ing and leaves pretty picture in ones
mind-the king making jokes with the
children and running upstairs two steps
at time to see If the queen was ready
to receive the guests, the queen taking
Mrs. Schuyler into her bedroom to show
her an ikon which had belonged to
Peter the Great, and saying, Do you
think Mr.. Schuyler would be shocked
If brought him In hereP" When they
were asked to write their names in the
visitors book, and 1t was found that a
queens writing materials go astray like
other peoples, she called out, as any
other wife might call, on the man Of
the house for help: "0h! Villee, Vil-lee,
have no pen; | have no ink" The
king, though known to the public as
George" is willie" to his own fam
lily.
1t was at breakfast that the king
spoke to Mrs. Schuyler of his early life
in Greece and of having come there a
boy of Is, of another religion and an
other language. MY boy will have an
easier time of 1t than had" he said,
'but, thank God, l have had a happy
marriage" A lady spending a day at
Dekelela was asked to 'come upstairs
and see the prettiest thing you ever
saw" She went up, and there was the
queen giving the baby its evening bath,
while the king looked on and handed
sponges and towels. The other chill
dren were put to bed. aud their mother
went round and kissed them all good
night, making the sign of the cross over
each one.

How frequently and with what unctloh
the preachers select and dwell upon the
thirty-fifth chapter Of Proverbs, III
which the worth Of virtuous women is
put far beyond rubies and fine gold.
"But virtue in women is given such
narrow Interpretation by many. It mas
so much broader significance. BY THIS
mean that virtuous woman is woman
who is a good mother, one able to conduct
her household in the best way, who couiu
manage q business or any large enter
prise.
''1'his is the woman whose worth is not
to be measured by rubies or fine gold.
Again, sermons dealing with The In
crease of Mother Love are very popu'
lar, but how often do you hear one on
THE Responsibilities of FatherhoodT
'If women were in the pulpit they
would handle these subjects from their
point of view and show to men that they,
too, have responsibilities that must not
be disregarded.

"She is self-supporting and therefore
independent. She has numerous avenues
of effort opening before her. She does
not have to marry; she does not have to
ask any one for money.
1T is this independence that will finally
solve the social problem.
"Let the womanhood Of to-day realize
that strength, wisdom and every talent
or grace which develops Christian char
acter affords an example that shall last
through the ages. And the heart of the

prisonment at solitary confinement, as
has been recommended. The object of
punishment is twofold-to serve as an
example to others and to protect society
by removing the criminal from posi-
tion where he might further endanger
lives and liberties As to the deterrent
effect of the punishment upon others, life
Imprisonment would probably serve as
we'll as capital punishment. Conspira-
tors against the life Of a ruler or high
official of our own or any country, when
the conspiracy results In the death of
the person plotted against, should be held
equally guilty with the one by whose
blow death Is inflicted, and all doubt
should be removed, 50 that there should
be provided the same degree of punish
ment as for the murderer
Laws should also be enacted making 1t
a misdemeanor, punishment by long I'M
prisonment, either in writing or by spok-
en- words, to incite to violence against the
life of any person. This law should be,
however, carefully safeguarded so that
1t would not interfere with the rights OF
free speech guaranteed by the constitu-

cially aim to prevent the promulgatlng
and teaching of the doctrine Of anarchy
There is, in my opinion, no necessity
for amending the constitution Of the Unit

treatment of anarchy. State laws are OF

prosecution for conspiracy or other out
cropping of anarchy properly belongs IN
the State where the crime is committed
Convictions are more readily and quick

At present the punishment provided by
the federal statutes for such crimes as
have been mentioned is wholly lnsuffl-

Presidents life, and hence there is none
in force where Congress has jurisdiction

Since the time of Adam men have

in the world to women. Do they fail
In business-the women Of the family

they were driven to drink by the fri
volity of their wives and daughters.
Do they wear shabby clothes and be-
come careless about the cut Of their
hair-the extravaganza Of those who
are dependent on them has divorced
them from their pride and left them
nothing but rags to wear.
Even those of the sterner sex who
admit that their forefather Of the
Garden Of Eden was hardly gallant
and was a bit of a coward are prone
themselves to put the blame where 1t
doesn't belong sometimes. There was
q man in a car yesterday who was ap-
parently of this class. He wore the
conventional afternoon dress Of frOck
coat, striped trousers and tall hat, and
every time he leaned toward his com
panion the pile of his immaculate
headgear came in contact with the
prow-like brim of her hat and was
rubbed the wrong way.
After the man had repaired the dam

Dolly Madison Was a Remarkable Mis-
tress of the White House.
Beautiful, vivacious, affable and
rich, Dolly Madison dispensed lavish
hospitality at her husbands house
while he was Secretary Of State and
presided al such social functions as
took place in the White House during
Jefferson's days. Becoming regularly
installed as its mistress at her hus-
bands Inauguration in 1909, she was
the leader of Washington society for
sixteen years.
No lady of the White House ever ap-
preached her in popularity except Har
riet Lane, the mistress of the mansion
at the time Of the bachelor president,
Buchanan, and Mrs. Cleveland. Mrs.
Madison never forgot the name Of a
person she had once met. She always
recollected every incident Of conse.
quence connected with the history OF
every person presented to her, thus
making every one feel that he held a
high place in her esteem. In this way
she disarmed much Of the hostility TO
the weak administration Of Madison
and won him many friends whose sup
port was Of the highest value to him
and to the country during the tempest
u0us days Of the troubles between the
United States and England. Worthy as
Madison was, says Leslie's Weekly,
