what must almost seem a miraculous
change in affairs the country which
stood at the bottom socially will
now be foremost in the brilliant so.
cial events of the coming winter.
Neither the German, who heads
the diplomatic list, nor the Russian
ambassador is married Count Ca>;.
SIM has as hostess at his embassy
his young niece and adopted daugh.
ter, Countess Cassini, but the only
effort he makes to place her in
equal rank with himself is at the
white house diplomatic receptions.
If this position is insisted upon this
season the little countess with her
high red-heeled shoes will lie the
first woman to be presented to the
president at the diplomatic recep.
ton, and it is believed this will ex.
cite another diplomatic discussion.
Later will come the wife of the
British ambassador, who is hasten.
ing here to avoid being placed lower
on the diplomatic list of ambassa-
doris than the Austrian representa-
tive. Speaking English and being an
American born, she will naturally
have much the advantage over the
wife of the Italian ambassador who
speaks no English.
Baroness Hengelmuller is probably
now the most popular wife of Dip
lomat in Washington society, as she
adapts herself admirably to all
phases of life and is an accomplished
woman of the world.
The new French amba ssador's wife
Is scholarly woman of rare mental
attributes, and is also fond of the
quieter side of social life. From one
who knows it is learned that the
French embassy is likely to be again
noted for series of brilliant dim
ners.
With new French ambassador

Der of new attaches, the season
promises to be rich in entertain

ried Her Away from the
Stall.

Small Hazel McDonough, an Ohio
girl, owes her life to the sagacity and
affection Of a horse owned by her Ia
Their.
The wise old horse, whose name il
Prince, lifted the girl from under the
hoofs of fretful colt, placed her safe
ly in the hay that filled his manger,
and stood guard between her and the
kicking colt until her father came and
carried her from the stall.
William McDonough, a farmer near
Toledo, O., has long owned Prince, who
is 20 years old. Prince still does his
full share of work, but he is veritable
cold Dobbin" to the McDonough chill
dren.
Prince has shown particular fond
ness for little Hazel, who is supremacy
happy when her father seats her on
the old horses back and holding her
there, "gives her ride" The horse,
as if he knew that he bore what his
master loves best, then walks slowly,
carefully picking his steps.
In his age. Prince has been given the
luxury of a box stall. Lately Mr..
McDonough bought a two-year-old
colt, and having no other place for
him, turned him into Princes stall.
The horse bore with dignity the
frisly colts presence; tolerated him
with the same air of difference
as celebrated trainer shows to-
ward the newest apprentice in the
stable.
A day or. two go young Hazel es
capped from her mothers watchful eye
and toddled to the barn to visit her
very good friend. Missing her, Mrs.
McDonough suspected where the child
had gone, and pursued. Reaching the
barn door, the mot her saw Hazel enter
the boX-stall.
'Princey! Hello, Princey!" cried the
child.
The old horse, which nowadays is
never battered, turned his head and
looked at her benignly. The colt i'm
mediately recognized the child's pres
ence, and, i'll at ease, tugged at his

bnssies May Lead to Another
Clash At the National Capital.

It is just announced at the em-
bassy that Sonora de Aspiroz, wife
of the Mexican ambassador, will not
return to the American capital this
winter. The Washington climate
never agreed with her, and her physi-
clan gave positive order that she
should remain in her native country
for several years. At the head Of
the Mexican embassy will be the
graceful elder daughter of the am
bassador, Sonora de Parez, but she
will not occupy the position at the
head of diplomatic housewives which
her mother would have occupied had
she remained in Washington.

has woman at the head of his
menage is Sig. Mayor des Blanches.

Loi" in President Solomon's time,
1887, and the Voudoo worshippers
have frequent gatherings around the
tomb. They had to sacrifice children
during their religious rites, but this
custom died out, or rather was
stopped by the authorities, and they
now are content with killing goats
in connection with their ceremon-
les.
Few white people have succeeded
in attending Voudoo festivities, but.
says New York Herald corresponds
they are carried on through an old
negro.
The ceremony is long chant.
Each singer keeps on one chord, and
as they all sing in different key
the chant has weird and unearth-
ly sound. The song is accompanied
by three tambours (drums), each of
which is of different size. One is
very large and is struck regularly
and slowly all through the chant.
Another is small and has fiat
sound.
The third a medium-sized drum, is
played with both hands and feet.
The player moves his feet up and
down the sides of the drum, to pro.
duce either a high or low sound.
They end the ceremony by drink
ing The blood of freshly killed
goat.
There are still many adherents of
Voudooism in Hayti, which dates
back to the time the Spaniards
brought negroes as slaves from
Africa to the West Indies.

PEACE TO BE RESTORED.
to Seek Reconciliation with His
Son BallingtOn.

A former officer of the Salvation
Army at New York has said that
Herbert Booth, who recently left the
army, was now in America, having
arrived a few weeks ago, and it was
probable that Gen. Booth would ar
rive within few weeks to make an
effort to bring about reconciliation
between himself and his children, six
of whom are out of the Salvation
Army. Gen. Ballington Booth, of
the Volunteers of America, has re-
fused to discuss the matter in any
form.
The trouble between the members
of the Booth family began five years
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1902-10-30

ago. Ballington Booth was then
commander of the army in the Unit
ed States and it was command
from his father that he surrender
the work here and 20 to Canada that
brought about the separation. The
son refused and resigned. Ballington
Booth then organized rival organ
ization-the Volunteers of America.
Talk of reconciliation has been
heard since June. It was then an
nounced that Gen. Booth and his son
would meet in September and that
a love feast would follow.
Ballington Booths friends claimed
that Geh. Booth issued orders of i'm.
portance to the workers in the Unit
ed States without consulting the Of
ficers in this country. Ballington
Booth resented this and the order
for his transfer was the climax.

uses the regulation Lee-Enfield rife

to membership in the Ontario Rife

She is not a Canadian type, for

ferent shape. The Frenchman, with
his thin and spare frame, has often
muscles of iron and nerves of steel;
and vet to look at him is to be struck
with a certain daintiness of shape, as
well as of manner, which marks him
out at once from an Englshman. But
Sir Wilfrid Laurier is French rath-
er of the eighteenth than of the twen-
tieth century. Like his own people,
who still retain their language express
sions that are archaic to the ear of the
modern Partisan, Sir Wilfrid strikes
one as rather an old world type of
Frenchman.
"He has less ebullient vivacity, less
expansiveness, more slowness of move
ment and ceremoniousness of manner
than one finds in the present day
Frenchman. You think of him rather
as the companion of Talleyrand and
Chateaubriand than of Waldeck Rous-
seau and NJ. Henri Rochefort. NO
body said Talleyrand, knew the real
charm of life in France who did not
live before the revolution What,
doubtless, he was thinking of was the
stateliness of manner, the brilliancy
of conversation, the romance of gal
1antry, the ease of fortune, and SUI
periority to ordinary cares which were
the characteristics of that wonderful
aristocracy that robbed and enslaved
and trampled on Fra nee, but meantime
enjoyed itself in grand manner, and
did everything with a noble air. One
thought OF the France of the pre-revo-
1utionary times as one gazed at the
long, beautiful fingers of the delicate
hands of Sir Wilfrid Laurier-at the
perfection of every little gesture-at
the apparent ease and open frankness,
and yet the unmista ka BILE tact and dis
erection with which he discussed every
body and everything. It is no WON
der that he has such hold over the
hearts of his people; he is the flower of
their stock"
The Salt Eating Habit.
A new bit has asserted itself which
suggests a curious train of thought as
to the direction in which human aber-
rations in the matter of personal hs b.
its may eventually tend. 1t is SAID
that the new habit, that of salt eating,
is not only greatly on the increase,
particularly among women of all
classes, but that it is in many cases
q most serious disease. It begins with
a desire for large quantities of salt
with the food, and if not checked,
reaches stage in which the patient
carries salt crystals about with her
wherever she goes, and is continually
nibbling at them. The symptoms are
a peculiar yellowness and shrinking
of the skin, which is followed by the
loss of all the hair, even that of the
eyelids.
