board of education at San Juan. He
was secretary of the interior for Porto
Rico by appointment of Gen. Henry.
Though born in 1862, and therefore
only 80 years of age, Senor Degetan
has long been recognized as a leader
among his people. His aspirations
were republican, and in 1896 he was
one of the four commissioners sent TO
Spain to ask for autonomy. In 1898 he
was elected a deputy to the cortez at
Madrid. He is the author of number
Cf books, consisting of essays, novels
and short stories. Political, educa-
tionaI and sociological questions have
so deeply interested him that they
form the central problems of even his
lighter essays in. the field of fiction.
"What a QuixOte" is protest against
the Indifference of modern society;
"The Redemption of COnscript" deals
with the question of philanthropy;
two others with the social slavery of
children, one a circus boy and the 9TH
er a little negro attached to a Porto
Rican sugar plantation. Tales for
the Voyage" (Cuentos Vara el Viage)
is a collection of short stories more or
less concerned with the problems of
environment and education; and
"Youth" latter two forming the
latest and most mature of his writings
consists of a series of pictures in the
life of young men whose fundamental
punishment. This last work is in spirit
if not in letter photographed, and is
reflective, in a vivid way, of the au-
thor's experience while studying in
Madrid. The Al B. c. of. the Froebel
System" is a study of those methods
of instruction linked with the name Of
the Great German educator. This
work has given Senor Degetan a wide
reputation in educational circles.

tions of society. That is why L pub
lish this book"
The plot they have in mind is this:
Eight men who were former college
chums are assembled at an anniver-
sary dinner when the story begins. A
ninth member of the brotherhood
suddenly enters the room. He has
been abroad for many years and was
not expected. His eight friends were
in the act of drinking his health, and
one of the speakers had toasted him
IN these words:
The Joseph of sons and brothers,
the Castor of friends, the Bayard of
purity, and the st. George of the
oppressed"
Lies, all lies" is his dramatic ex-
clamation.
y discussion is started, and it re-
suits in a wager of the eight men
with the ninth, whose name Is Rust.
Rust agrees to forfeit $1,000 to any
one of the other men who can live his
professional and social life for one
week without lying. The eight men
represent various professions and Oc-
cupations, and the story follows them
through their endeayOrs to be per-
fcctIy honest on all occasions.
There are plenty of opportunities
For buu,Orous citUationS in the course
of the narrative. One of the men, a
university professor, goes before a
woman's club with the determination
to see what effect a plain, unvar-
nished statement of the truth will
have. The result is so disastrous that
he does not recover in time to resume
the race.
The editor was in the worst way of
all of them. He attempted to print
nothing but the truth in his paper.
The subscription list began to fall so
rapidly and the advertisers were so
offended that he relinquihed all claim
to the $1,000 and accepted society as
he found it. The others had their va
rious experiences, humorous and
| tragic.
"The first impression conservative
| people get when they hear about this
book" said Mrs. Irving, lis that it
may be a radical attack on dishonest
business men. 1t is nothing of the
sort.
Il believe the social conditions
which make it necessary for a busi-
ness or professional man as well as a
large majority of other men to lie

ing thoughts to people which will

At Chemulpho the proportion is prob
ably higher. At Fusan there is -four
ishing japanese settlement, and the
japanese are rapidly increasing in
other important towns. They have OBJ
tanned by ypressure or purchase the con-
cessions for the Seoul-Chemulpho and
SeouI-Fusan railways; they have min
ing concessions at Chiksan, Changsan,
SOnghwa (gold), Cholwan Gron), Ply
ongyang (anthracite), and more at
several other places. They have whal-
ing rights connected with three prov
inces; they conduct the post and tele-
graph services; they maintain nearly
20 schools, and as many Buddhist mis-
sionaries; they have undertaken and
nearly completed the fOreshore
reclamations at Chemulpho, Mokpho,
Kumsanpho and Masanpho; they own
half the banking establishments, have
built a mint, and keep the treasury
funds, though the latter is not what
London banker would term a good
account. 1t is needless to add, there
fore, that their political and CONNER
cial stake in the country is very great,
especially as the above list by no means
eXhausts the limits of their enterprise.
Russia, on the other hand, has three
almost worthless coal mining cOnces-
EiOns, a branch bank, a Greek church
priest who baptizes all and sundry,
some whaling rights, the valuable
privilege of telling trees in certain dis
tricts, Some land privately acquired at
Chinanpho, and a coaling station at
Masanpho in default of another to
which Japan successfully raised objec-
tion last year. Her influence at court
is considerable, but no case is on record
of its having prevailed in opposition to
that of the Japanese. So much for
japanese enterprise in Corea. The
service Corea renders to Japan is pro-
poTtionate."

ALL MEN ARE LIARS.
So Declares Mrs. Irving, a Chicago
Business Woman.
VIII Pay One Thousand Dollars to
Amy Person Upon Proof That He
Acted HOhOrabIy in Busi-
ness for One Month.

! With $1,000 in lieu of lantern Mrs.
Nancy b. Irving, a book publisher,
has started out to emulate Diogenes
in his search for an honest man.
Mrs. Irving is not a pessimist who
thinks there are no honest men in the
world, according to the common ac-
ceptance of the term, but she believes
it is an impossibility to live strictly
honest business or professional life
under the present conditions of So
ciety. To prove the point Mrs. Irving
offers to deposit 1000 in a Chicago
bank, which will be paid to the first
business or professional man who can
conclusively prove that he has carried
on his work for a month without ly-
ing. She is anxious to prove the
point because of a book she has in
view.
The conditions are simple. Mrs. r.
wing will name two men, the man who
thinks he holds title to the $1,000
may name two, and q fifth will be
named by these four. They will act
as judges upon the business record
of the claimant, trusting him to tell
his own story and give all the evil
dence.
Mrs. Irving thinks she will not lose
the $1,000. If she does she is quite
certain the honesty of the man who
gets it will have reduced him to such
poverty that he will need it.
Mrs. Irving, with Emil Blum and
Sigmund Alexander, propose to put
forth their ideas anent the general
tendency of the modern man and
woman to follow in the footsteps of
Ananias. Every man, they hold, is
obliged to play the part of a respect
able liar and thief to succeed in busi-
ness. The business man lies to his
competitors and patrons and steals
from his employees or from society at
large.

the obligation she attached the most
sweeping and subversive of condi-
tions, including, first of all, the wip-
ing out of all debt to England.
Prompt conformity to these has been
eXacted. The money which had been
borrowed from England was all re-
paid, in compliance with the Musco-
vite demand, within two years after
Russia had taken up the sponsorship
and the rights that accompanied It,"
In conclusion Mr.. Munlford saws:
"The Russian knows the people he
holds sway over and manages them
as no other can, for their blood is in
him. He conciliates native
agencies at every step of the way.
He is mindful of the admOni-
ton of Paul l.; he remembers that
he is only at war with the English
and is the friend of all who do not
give them help. He assures men of
the friendship of Russia. He ami
hilates memories; he Weans peoples
from regrets. lie plays upon their
vanity until il is transmitted into 10y
atty; he CRAFTS upon his already con-
glomerate speech something of the
language of the conquered, and the
next generation speaks with the
tongue of Moscow. In brief. he finds
a barbarian, and, moving on in the
prosecution of his eternal purpose,
leaves a Russian. That is what he
has been doing in Caucasia and Trans
caucasia, as well as on the far side of
the Caspian, and that, reasonably as
suming that England viii not inter
fere strongly to block his progress to
the south, is what he will ultimately
do in all parts of Persia; what that
will mean, III the struggle which is
bound to come some day, the map
shows. That he aspires to
the possession of all Asia there seems
no longer any room for doubt. There
are great obstacles in his path; he
removes them. He has one wav in
Manehuria, another in Iran. But he
IS building warships as fast as he is
taking up land in Asia. He anchors
them now in Port Arthur; next in
Bushire and Bender Abbas. How soon
will the searchlights of his cruisers
sweep the harbors of Calcutta and
Bombay"

PERSIA MUST YIELD.
Ultimately the Shah's Realm Will
Be Absorbed by Russia.
Another Step Toward the Bears Inev-
liable Conquest of Asia-Why
the Russians Are the Best
of COiOnizers.

John Kimberly Mumford, writing of
Russia's conquest of Asia in the
Worlds Work, discloses how the en-
pire of the czar reaches out into
Persia, with the manifest intention of
some day, in the fullness of time. en-
folding the realm of the shah. One
need be in Persia only a little time,
says Mr.. Mumford, to realize the Rus
sian predOminance. Persia is Russian.
That this is true is manifest in many
ways that are a study of the efficacy
of the peaceful method, a revelation
of Nuscovite versatility. Everywhere
things Persian are disappearing, and
the Russ is substituting for them his
own memorials in brick and stone,
steel and steam and electricity.
Russia's progress to the south dur
ing the last 70 years has been quiet,
but by no means accidental. 1t is not
at all mysterious, though often so
called. 1t is simply the carrying out
OF a definite plan, a waiting plan,
based on slow but persistent advance.
This advance has been facilitated by
the inexplicable policy of England.
Mr. Mumford says:
'Sir Henry Drummond Wolfe, for
mer representative of Great Britain
1T the court of Teheran, secured for
English corporations, by virtue of the
loans, concessions of all sorts, look
ing to the development of Persia,
banking charters, mining charters
and the like. He retired from the
post leaving the English in posses

Bition the present British government
has TO all appearances abandoned. In
