CHAPTER VII

When ! reached the charming little
Surrey village of Bishopstowe, |
could see that IL bore out Kitwater's
description OF IL. A prettier little
place could scarcely have been dis
covered, with its tree-shaded high
road, its cluster Of matched cottages,
its blacksmith's shop, rustic inn with
the signboard on a high post before
the door. and, last but not least, the
quaint little church standing some
hundred yards back from the main
road and approached from the lych-
gate by an avenue OF lines.
Here" I said TO myself, sis a
place where a man might live TO be
100, undisturbed by the rush and
hustle OF the great world"
That was my feeling then, but
since | have come TO know il better,
and have been permitted an oppor-
tunity OF seeing for myself some
thing Of the inner life of the hamlet,
/ have discovered that IL is only the
life OF great city, on a small scale.
There Is the same keen competition
In trade. with the same jealousies
and chickering's. However, on this
peaceful Sunday morning IL struck
me as being delightful. There was
an old-world quiet about il that was
vastly soothing. The rocks cawed
lazily in the elms before the church
as IL they knew Il were Sunday morn
ing and a day OF rest. A dog lay ex-
tended In the middle OF the road,
basking in the sunshine, thing
which he would not have dared TO do
on weekday. Even the little
stream that runs under the old stone
bridge, which marks the center OF
the village. and then winds it's tor
tuous course round the churchyard,
through the Squire's park, and then
down the valley on it's way to the
sea, seemed 10 flow somewhat more
slowly than was its wont.
Feeling just In the humor for q lit
tie moralizing. opened the lyeh-
gate and entered the churchyard.
The congregation were singing the
last hymn. the Old Hundredth. IL /
remember rightly. and the sound OF
their united voices fitted perfectly
into the whole scheme. giving IL the
one touch that was lacking. As i
strolled along I glanced at the In
scriptions on the various tomb
stones, and endeayored TO derive
from them some notion OF the lives

TO EGULATE THE WiRELESS.

That wireless telegraphy has already
become more important than many
thought it ever would be is shown by
the fact that the German government
has issued invitations to the various
governments to send delegates to an in
ternational conference to consider the
question of the regulation of wireless
biography. The State department has
received the note of the Kaiser, and in
short time several of the officers of
the army and navy who have been con-
nected with the development of this
science, and probably one or two civil
ians, will be detailed to attend the
convention. There are number of i'm
portant reasons why it is desirable to
adopt international regulations to con-
troll the use of wireless biography. AS
soon as the first success of this system
of sending messages through the air
without the use of intermediary means
was assured, it became apparent to
1
military men that sooner or later it
would be necessary to apply certain
checks on the operators Of the instru-
ments. The recent achievement Of
Marconi in sending wireless messages
across the Atlantic has emphasized this
feeling and convinced European govern
ments that there should be no more de-
| Law in devising means for the control of
| the system. General Greedy, chief Of
the Signal Corps of the Army, and Ad-
miral Bradford, chief of the Bureau Of
Equipment of the navy, the two
branches which have charge Of wireless
| telegraph work for the army and navy
| both believe that it is highly desirable
ment on this question. Admiral Brad
ford has already taken steps to have
the United States government protect
itself against the entertainments of the
wireless telegraph people. He has rec
| commended that the government secure
possession of certain prominent points
on the Atlantic coast that are adapted
for use as signal stations in the send
ing and receiving of wireless messages.
He calls attention to the fact that the
French government has adopted this
method Of terrifying itself and has seiz-
ed a station that had been selected as
a site for a signaling depot.
The plan is to discuss certain proposed
laws, and after an agreement has been
reached as to the most comprehensive
and desirable set of regulations, to
have each country place them on it's
statute books This will insure unifor-
nifty all over the world, which is the
point that is absolutely essential to
success,

At Wichita, Kansas, Mrs. Pearl Will
liams has sued for divorce. She al
leges that one day four weeks after her
marriage she traded a can of cherries
for some fresh fruit to neighbor. That
night when her husband came home
and found that she had made this trade
he began to swear. Mrs. Williams de-
clares that for six straight hours he
swore a blue and sulphurous stream
that swelled and gained in volume as
it flowed onward. At last she fed from
the house in dismay. She stayed away
too, and brought suit for divorce.
Probably Mrs Williams will get her
divorce, and probably she ought to.
But something can be said in mitiga-
ton of Mr.. Williams cussedness and
cussing. He didn't approve of the swap
that Mrs. Williams had made, and he
felt that it was necessary at the begin
ming of his married life to let his wife
than she did. 1t seemed a very impor-
tant matter to him, and he didn't know
any better way to impress her with its
Importance than by swearing. And as
he continued to swear his sense of the
Importance of the situation grew on
him, and kept him swearing for six
hours. Of course his conduct was
wrong and terrible, and he will pay
dearly for it in losing the love and COM
panionship of his dear wife. But he
might have done worse. He might
have pretended to be pleased with her
trade and then been guilty of "intoler-
able cruelty" for six months instead of
being frank and swearing for only six
hours

A P,nlm ,or New ysar,s Eve.

A friend stands at the door;
| In either tight closed hand
| Hiding rich gifts, three hundred and three
| score;
| Waiting to strew them daily DER the land
| Even as seed the sower.
| Each drop he treads it in and passes by;
1t cannot be fruitful till 1t die.
| Oh, good New Year, we clasp
! This warm shut hand of thine!
LOosing forever with half sigh, half grasp,
| That which from ours falls like dead fin
| gers twine:
Ay, whether fierce its grasp
| Has been or gentle, have been, we know
| That it was blessed; let the old year go.
Oh, New Year. teach US. faith!
| The road of life Is hard;
| When our feet bleed and scourging winds
| us seattle.
Point thou to Him whose visage was more
| marred
| Than any mans; who saith:
| Make straight paths for your feet''--and
| to the OppreSt;
| Come we to me, and will give you rest. "
| Yet hang some lamplike hope
| Above this unknown way,
| Kind year, to give our spirits freer scope
And our hand strength to work while 1t is
day.
But if that way must slope
Tombward, oh, bring before our fading
! eyes
The lamp of life, the hope that never dies.
Comfort our souls with love
Love of all human kind;
Love, special, close-in which like sheltered
dove
Each weary heart its own safe nest may
| find
And love that turns above
| Adoringly, contented to resign
All loves, IL need be, for the Love Divine.
Friend come thou like friend,
And whether bright thy face
| Or dim with clouds we cannot comprehend
Wen hold our patient hands, each in his
| place,
And trust thee to the end;
Knowing thou leadest onward to those
spheres
Where there are neither days nor months
| nor years. d. NJ. Mulock.

ranean squadron being ready for action

miral Gervais to the effect that. even
If the squadron were at Toulon, forty
three hours would still be required for
the shipment of supplies, always sup
posing that the supplies were forthcom-
ing. which was not the case at the
time Of FashOda. If the squadron
were not at TOulOn, it is clear that a
longer time would be required, but a
declaration Of war would be preceded,
probably, by a period Of tension which
would allow sufficient time for mobili-
cation. The notion Of the French TAX
ing the initiative with a surprise attack,
is. it thinks, chimerical. In another
article the interruption of England's
trade with India is considered. The
Petit Var argues that, unless England
had absolute command of the sea, Brit
ish vessels would not risk the Mediter-
ranean route, but would go round the
Cape. and France would require cruis-
ers of twentythree and twenty-four
knots to interfere with them. a third
article condemns the battle ships which
the French Chamber has agreed to
build for completion in 1906. 1t main
tains that the hull and armor in this
type of vessel absorb too large pro-
portion of the total displacement; the
hull demanding 30 and the armor sc

per cent. the engines and boilers re-
quire 9, the fuel 6, and the auxiliary
machines 9 per cent, leaving only 10
| per cent. for the guns and ammunition.
The provision for the latter is only suf-
fcient for one or two hours fighting,
after which the vessel would be harm
less and helpless.

Efforts are being made in some of
the larger cities of England, and esper
cially in London, to put stop to the
habit of swearing on the public streets.
There is law on the subject, but it is
rarely enforced except, perhaps, in
some small town where the mayor may
for the time get a virtuous streak. The
trouble with the law is that it is only
put into practice when some citizen
makes a complaint to a policeman, and
that statistics of the police courts show
that even when arrests are made the
prosecutor very seldom appears to
press the complaint the next morning.
In Liverpool, where there is a large pro-
portion of the hoodlunn in the popula-
ton, the habit Of cursing in public has
been largely restrained recently, but
that was because the police received
strict orders to arrest any person, male
or female, who might be heard using
vile language on the streets without
waiting for a complaint from citizen.
The habit of swearing, too, it is assert
ed, is not confined to the lower classes,
but has made great inroads into soci-
ETY., especially among the women.
