Senator Platt of Connecticut had a
curious experience last Tuesday, the
day upon which the President went to
New York, says the Washington Post.
He was at his hotel when a card was
handed him. He knew his caller by
reputation as a prominent New York
lawyer, and he went down to the lobby
to meet him.
For fully ten minutes the visitor
talked pleasantly and Sanely enough
about various subjects, and then he
came, he said, to the business which
he had in mind.
Senator" he said. II have a son 10
years old and a great outrage is about
to be perpetuated upon him. He is the
legitimate heir to the throne of Eng
land and to the throne of Germany.
Next month a man is to be crowned
King of England in my sons place and
| want you to see President Roosevelt
and have the usurper prevented from
taking the crown"
"Indeed?" queried the Senator, realiz-
ing that a crank was talking to him.
YES" said the visitor, land here are
the documents to prove it"
Producing a large portfolio, which
contained a queer mixture of papers,
the man pointed to the impression of
an old Egyptian coin upon some wax
and said that the outline of the face
shown by the seal was a perfect image
of his sons features.
well" said Senator Platt, 1.-THE
President has gone over to New York
to-day, but we will certainly have to
see him about this natter
Thereupon the Senator's visitor
thanked him. gathered up the portfolio
and went back to New York, appar-
emily we'll satisfied with having plac-
ed the case in competent hands.

School teachers have many amusing
stories to relate of incidents that oc
cur while they are endeavoring to train
the youthful sprigs in the way they
should go, says the Chicago Record
Herald One young woman in charge
of a class composed mostly of children
of foreign birth relates that once, to
increase their vocabulary, she had hit
on a guessing game. She told the class
of what she was thinking and they
named the object.
This time she had thought of the
word birthday, and the lesson went on
in this fashion:
Nov, little folks. I'm thinking of
something you all have. You don't
have it very often-just once every
year. Even 1 have one. What is it?
I'll give you a minute to think, and
when you are sure you know raise your
hand"
Hands began to go up rapidly.

er. Il really think l have the best

all think so fast, and I know they are

I'm going to let Morris tell. I'm sure
he knows
Morris rose to his feet, stood in the
aisle in true military position, and like
shot from a gun, in response to the
teachers Tell us what it is, Morris. -

The Original sherlock Holmes.

Now that Sherlock Holmes has been
brought before the public again, in DR..
Conan Doyle's latest book. The Hound
of the Baskervilles," it may be inter-
esting to recall his original According
to a literary page issued by Mcclure,
Phillips & Co., he is DIR. Joseph Bell,
who was one of DR.. Doyle's medical
instructors at Edinburgh. One of his
former pupils tells the following Incl
dent concerning DIR. Bell and man,
evidently in distress. who walked into
the hospital for treatment:
We'll what's the matter with you?"
asked DIR. Bell.
Il don't quite know, sir" replied the
man.
What's your business?"
"CobbIer, SIR
Ever been anything else"
"No, sir; I've been a cobbler all my
life"
"WelI, take him in and examine him.
That" said DR.. Bell to his class, when
the patient had been taken into the ex-
mination-room, sis a very odd case.
The man is a deserter from the Indian
army. He knows perfectly we'll what
the trouble with him, but he's afraid
to tell us for fear we'd know he con-
tracted it in India. Yet he's in so much
pain that he risks coming to us, trust
ing that we won't find out what's the
matter with him, but will be able to
relieve him without finding out
Strange case"
Just then the patient was brought
back from the examination room.
"Well, said Dr. Bell did you find
any bullet wounds or sabre cuts on
him."
why, yes. sir" the doctor who had
made the examination replied, in great
surprise. There were two bullet
wounds, and he had a long scar across
his left shoulder"
DR.. Bell turned to the patient.
"This disease you have" he said
was contracted in India while you
were in the army. You left the army
Why didn't you go 5ack?"
The man hung his head.
why did you say you'd been a cob
bier all your life? Deserter, aren't
you?"
yes. sir" faltered the patient.
But that didn't surprise the class;

THE FIRST HAGUE CASE.

When the arbitration tribunal at The
Hague was established it was the
dream of those who brought about the
establishment of 1t that it would take
the place of war in settling the differ
ences between nations. Nations, how
ever, are like individuals and corpora
lions. There are certain things which
they are willing to arbitrate and 9TH
ers which they are not.
1t is a question whether The Hague
tribunal will ever become a popular
one. The probabilities are that it will
not, though if nations were to set the
example individuals and corporations
might oftener be willing to settle their
differences by arbitration.
The first case to be referred to The
Hague tribunal is that known as the
Plus claim" 1t is based on the an
pication of the Catholic Church in
California for moneys which are in the
custody of the government of Mexico
1t seems that there are certain trust
funds in the keeping of that govern
ment on which there is a large amount
of overdue interest. The whole amount
at stEke is about $1,00O,000.
1t is the understanding that the con-
tending parties will choose two arbi-
traitors each, and the four will choose
fifth from the eligible list of The
Hague tribunal. The matter was ar
ranged by our Secretary of State and
the Mexican minister at Washington.
AS this is the first case to come before
that tribunal 1t will doubtless be the
subject of a good deal of interest.

What shall our children read?'' The
Hull House Woman's Club of Chicago
asked itself the question the other
day, discussed il exhaustively and
wound up by eliminating from the de-
sirable list pretty nearly all of the
Juveniles" that ever passed through
printers hands. Kipling and Jules
Verne were slaughtered out of hand.
The "goody- goody" books were turned
down, not only because they set up un-
attainable standards for the children
but sometimes taught the youthful
readers to expect a perfection in par
ents beyond the range of human be-
ing. All books in which there are
naughty children were cut out. ''Peck's
Bad Boy was pronounced an abornina
ton and a source of great danger. One
debater told how her mature father had
fallen under the pernicious influence
of "Peck's Bad Boy to such an ex-
tent that he let his younger children
read anything they pleased. Baron
Munchausen was hooted out, but Gull
liver and Robinson Crusoe and Alice
in Wonderland miraculously escaped
condemnation and were permitted to
retain their place in the little folks
library. There were, too. some excep-
tions in favor of standard Sunday
school books, but even the list of the
latter did not escape criticism and re-
vision,

Just before departing for Rome
Cardinal Martinelli told of Western
American who was paying his second
visit to "the eternal city and secured
an interview with the Pope, the cardi-
nal acting as interpreter. Other at
tending prelates who understand Eng
lish were amazed to hear the American
say in the most affable and friendly
tone: Il am very glad of this honor,
your holiness. l knew your father, the
late Pope Plus TX, and was presented
to him in his lifetime" The cardinal
was careful not to translate this
speech literally.
AT the age of 50 the venerable Her
bert Spencer has at last laid aside the
pen that has exercised such a powerful
influence upon the thought of his CEN
fury. In his forthcoming volume,
Facts and Comments" Mr.. Spencer
announces that he has written his last
book. His work of creating a synthet-
ic philosophy based on the theory of
organic evolution was begun in 1860
and finished in 1896, and now the last
chips from his workshop are gathred
up. Though he is everywhere acknowl-
edged to be one of the great figures
of his time he wears no fancy titles
to his name and has steadily refused
to even accept honorary degrees from
colleges.

1t is an easy matter to propagate
a new religion and even secure a con-
siderable following for it, as may be
seen in the cases of John Alexander
Dowie and Mother" Eddy but it is
quite a difficult matter to revise an
old, established and widely accepted
creed. like that of the Presbyterian
church, even when the revision is hard
ly more than a smoothing of language
and softening of terms. For many
years the question of revision has been
under discussion and the ground for
and against the proposition has been
gone over repeatedly; nevertheless the
adoption by the General Assembly at
New York of the revised confession of
faith has reopened the floodgates of
criticism and for some time to come
the church will be on the defensive.

GOOD FOOT BALL PROMISED.
Columbians Meet Baltimore Medicos
at National Park Today

The Baltimore Medical College foot ball
team arrived in Washington at noon today
to play the Columbian University eleven.
The game will be played at National Base
Ball Park, 7th and Boundary, and will be
called at 4:3O sharp. The medical men are
not strangers in the capital city. For sew
eral seasons past they have played on local
gridirons, and have always put up good
exhibition of foot ball. This year. accord
ing to their reputation. they have the usual
sturdy lot of heavy hustlers. and it may be
confidently predicted that the same aggres-
occasions. The presence of such stars on
the team as Cure, formerly full back on
Lafayette; Jennings and Noble should prove
attractive to the foot ball loving public.
For the Columbian boys it can be promised
that a good game will be played. This
years eleven has been severely handicap
ped in many ways but has stuck to the
game with an admirable persistency and a
determination to improve even in the face
of defeat. 1t has been remarked by observ-
of the team that while 1t has lost sew
erai games the scores have been compare
lively small in every instance. In today s
contest the local men hope to come out
winners. Among the players who will
probably be found in the lineup will be
Church and Oyster, half backs: Leach,
quarter back: Lewis, center; Heine and
MCGOWAN, guards; Kelly and Cats, tack
les; Musgrave tcaptain), Poe or Smith,
ends. Others who may be in the game are
McLain. Garnett, Caldwell, Mackler and
Bynum.
