The colonel occasionally broke forth in
language not exactly suited to the draw
ing room. The colonel was we'll on in
the ffties and had not married. Not
that he couldn't. he was wont to ex-
plain. but because so few women struck
his fancy.
One evening. the colonel attended a lit
tie lat home. and taking the hostess, a
very dear friend of his. aside, poured
into her ear the story of his rejection by
charming. young woman whom he had
asked to be his wife. The hostess
thought the colonel needed sympathy,
and. beckoning a charming dinner com
panion to her, said:
:, Col. - has been telling ME that he
has not been fortunate in winning the

colonel ought to remember the old adage:

ULTIMATUM is SENT
BY THE BRIGANDS

New York Nov. Accommodating upon
the report that the brigands have sent a
message to American Diploma tic Agent
Dickinson that unless he aCCedes by Jan.

ish Ira or pounds CS110O0O. ransom. they
will kill both their captives-Miss Ellen

This report comes in private adViCes
from Dubnitz. the Bulgarian frontier
town, which is the present headquarters
Of the some of the secret agents through
whom Mr.. Dickinson has been communi-
eating with the bTigands. The message
is said to be the robbers answer TO the
ultimatum reported to have been sent
to them by Mr.. Dickinson, but which he
denied sending, offering as ransom 1900
Turkish Ira or pounds (s52S00) and no
more. and giving them until next Satur-
day to accept that sum. after which time
that and all previous offers would be
withdrawn.
Mr.. Dickinson. who was the United
States consul general at Constantinopie
when he was appointed diplomatic agent
at Sofa, went to COnstantinoDle i'm

NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR BOB.
Long Thinks Evans Deserves Some
thing Better Than Schley Got


NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. was taken at the
navy department today which shows
more clearly than ever the bitterness
of the feeling entertained there toward
Admiral Schley. 1t was announced
that Admiral RObley D. Evans is to be
assigned to the Asiatic station as a
squadron commander, probably the
Chinese, as soon as vacancy occurs
When the secretary announced this bit
Of news one Of the newspaper men
asked him why Evans was not sent to
the South Atlantic station, which is
now without a flag officer. "Oh, he de-
serves something better than that"
said the secretary.
When Admiral Schiey was sent to
that ste ton a little more than two
years ago the ships on it were smaller
than those there now Yellow fever
was raging there and there was not an
ice plant on any Of the ships. It was
then explained that Schley's assign
ment WAS a good one. which was due
him in the ordinary routine Of Crown
inshields Office.
Now. when conditions are different,
the routine assignment does not apply
TO Evans. He is the third of the cap
tains who were not in the battle of
Santiago because they disobeyed Adj
miraIf Sohley's signal TO Follow the
fag,Y who have. been given good as
sign fnents.

Illuminating comment upon one of the
hoty disputed points of classical
scholarship.
Professor Seymour is discussing. as
every editor of Homer needs must. the
question whether there was one Homer
or several He admits that THE
Iliad'' and The Odyssey" were. prob
ably 'grOwths' from the works Of
many poets. Yet he contends for the
essential unity of these poems.
"A master mind" ne SAYS, there
must have been, but yet the poems
came gradually to their present condi-
ton. Many brave men lived before
Agamemnon," and many poets pre-
ceded Homer, who used freely the
poetic material which was the inheri-
lance of this generation. No one has
stated the case more clearly than
Rudyar5 Kipling:
Wen 'Omer smote is blOomin' Tyre
Ed card men sing by land and sea,
And wot e thought e might require

I'VE may compare" continues Pro-
feSsOr Seymour, ALSO Cicero's words
Cbrutus xviii, ID: Mill est stimuli ct
inventum ct perfectum; nee dubitari
debet quin fuerint ante Homerum
poetae.' Nothing is invented and per-
fected at one and the same time,
neither ought 1t TO be doubted that
there were poets before Homer.)"
Here we have Kipling's cockney dia-
lect verses quoted by one of the most
learned Hellenists of the day as ex-
pressing literary judgment of even
greater value than that given upon
the same theme by Marcus TuIlius
Cicero. Mr.. Kipllrg's most fervent
admirers could ask for no higher
praise.

In conjunction with the pepper mine
you see we get salt from Salt lake.
We own 1000 900 acres of table land
located right between Salt lake and
the pepper mine. As fast as the pepper
comes up the mine salt comes in from
the lake. We mix 'em, sir: mix EN-,
and various shades and colorings.
Then we let in the sheep. I forgot to
say that we own a few surrounding
ranches, with 100000 sheep on each
ranch. Well, sir, when those sheep
strike that tableland of salt and pep
per, they just lie down and roll over it
from one end to the other. The result
is the finest pepper and salt wool you
ever saw. This suit was made from
that wool. Saves all expense of color

wearers of the suits with the means
for ideas.

EMPEROR WILLIAM VERY RICH.
Inherited Large Sums and Has Made
Judicious Investments


tBerlin Letter to Chicago Record HeraId.)
Emperor William is undoubtedly the
richest monarch in the world now that
Queen Victoria's estate has been oil
vided. He inherited more than $50 000,-
600 from his grandfather thirteen years
ago, which was well invested and has
since rapidly increased in value He
inherited another fortune from his ia
Their, the late Emperor Frederick HIS
wife is also rich, and her property has
multiplied under prudent management
and with the development of the ma
terial interests of the empire.
The emperor has been fortunate in
securing good investments through his
friends in financial circles. They know
that he appreciates such favors, and
when they have something they can
recommend they save him a slice of
it, But he never speculates in stocks
or bonds and never buys anything on
margins. Most of his money is invest
ed in gilt-edged mortgages upon build
ingS in Berlin and other Of the large
cities of the empire He owns acres on
Frederick Strasse, the principal busi-
ness street of Berlin. and holds mort
cages upon acres more. In the new
part Of the city he has extensive in
vestments In residence property, and is
the proprietor of whole blocks Of
apartment houses erected on land
which he purchased when il was an I'M
slightly dumping ground, but is now
the most expensive part Of the fash
ionable residence quarter. He has sim
liar investments in other cities.
When the memorial church to his
grandfather was erected near the 70
illogical Gardens, the finest church in
Berlin, it was surrounded by indiffer-
ent buildings. The emperor's pride was
touched and he entered into negotia-
tons for the Improvement Of the prop
erty by the erection Of buildings of a
suitable character. Before he had ac-
complished his purpose he had loaned
and expended more than $500. 600 but
considers himself doubly fortunate
first in improving the appearance of
that part of the city and second in
securing so profitable an investment.
