From the earliest days of the worlds history diamonds, precious stones, gold and silver have been deemed the most valuable products or the earth. It is significant fact mat throughout the ages the values Of these precious products have not Huctuated materially; indeed, their value has increased instead of di- miniShing.
 Diamonds are to-day more pre- clous than ever owing to their scar clty, and an investment in a dia- mond is sure to be a safe one, pro- Vlded the stone is perfect. To in- sure perfection in the stone, deal- Ing with a reliable house is the only safe plan to pursue,
 The George H. Ford Co.,, in their retirement sale, have placed at dis count a magnificent stock of dia- monds set in exquisite designs. These are so perfect In quality and design that the purchase of one gives to a family something that can be handed down for generations as an heirloom, appreciating rather than depreciating in value. Among the special pieces in this depart ment are the following

NEEDED EFORM TR BELGJUM.

The passage of the anti-eamhline bill by the parliament of Belgium has naturally made a stir at Ostend. Din ant, Spa and other places where gamb- ling has been carried on. At these places the local authorities were by law permitted to license gambling estab- lishments to carry on their business, in consideration of large sums of money paid into the local treasuries. At Os- tend, for example, the concession yield ed no less than $500,000 to the city treasury annually, and, by virtue of the authority thus secured and paid for,

New Guinea will be the first territory sbf the Australian Commonwealth, and as such entirely subject to the control of the federal parliament. Its resi- dents will be entitled to no share either aof the privileges or obligations of the Australians except such as may be granted to or imposed on them. Its tariff, it's taxation and it's laws will be left to the discretion of the federal leg tslature, in which it will have no repre- sentation until it is specially conferred The country is rich in tropical products of all kinds, in gold and in pearl shell fisheries. The prejudice against char tered companies is strong on the main land, so. that the speedy means of de- velopment which they afford will only be employed under strict conditions. There are some 350,00O Papuans to be Teckoned with, but only few hundred Europeans. The experiment of govern ing it will be difficult, as well as costly, because it will involve problems which a distant democracy can but imperfect ly comprehend.

Senator Deliver says that Governor Shaw has a great penohant for telling stories. One of Shaw's stories was re- lated under interesting circumstances It was after the newspapers had an- nounced that he had been offered a place in the cabinet, and there was con- siderable curiosity to know whether he would accept. He was at dinner with some friends and they piled him with questions, couched in language as near a direct examination as they dared. Governor Shaw paid no attention to their hints until the dinner was nearly through. Gentlemen" he said finally, you have been trying to find out whether I am going to Washington as secretary of the treasury. I can only say thatNI am reminded of the story of the two little bows who were et dinner. They were asked if they wanted some pie. One of them helped himself to a large slice, The other did not take any at all. The first boy looked at the other in astonishment. Bill he re- marked, always take a piece of pie when pie is passing. Gentlemen" add ed Governor Shaw, II am going to take that boys advice,'

MIR. AlXON.


 Perhaps Croker is not really the ex- boss, but is the power behind the throne. Whether he is or isn't he has put forward a man who seems to be capable of being a leader if that is what is wanted of him. It is pointed out that MT. Nixon has never failed to be leader in anything he has under taken in the forty years of his life. In his Southern home in Leesburg, Vir- ginia there was not boy he could not surpass in any test of physical prowess and at school he always stood at the head of his class. He led his class through his term at the United States Naval Academy and graduated with the. highest honors. Then, when the government sent him abroad to study because of his high standing, he out stripped the brightest men in the Eng fish Royal Naval college and at the end of three years again graduated at the head of his class. When only thirty years of age he was building big battle ships. There was not enough opportun- ity in the navy, so he left it for Cramps. There was not enough oppor- tunity there so he started a ship yard of his own and by sheer ability has built up a large business, where he turns out monster battleships for the government and constructs many of the biggest and finest vessels of the mer- chant marine. Beside he is identified with several of the most important manufacturing corporations in the country.
 This is pretty good record, and if Tammany is going to have real leader in MT. Nixon it will not stay in the dumps long. Some think that MT. Croker is going to be boss again when he gets ready and that then MT. Nixon will be his candidate for mayor Time will tell, but it is evident that MT. Croker is sagacious in putting MT. Nixon forward at this time.

The mail carriers on the rura

The mail carriers on the rural
routes have found that carrying the
mail for $500 year is no snap, and
many of them have resigned. On
most of the routes it requires two
horses, even if one man with one
vehicle can perform the work, as it
soon wears out a horse if he is allow
ed no rest. In view of the evident
inadequacy of the compensation for
carriers on rural routes Congress
man McCleary has prepared a bill
to make the pay of carrier 5000
the first year of his service and $3.50
after that.
