Pocket HANDKERcHIEFS.
The Reason They Are Made square
Instead of obIong l. of
Interest.

It is not generally known why
pocket handkerchiefs are always
made square. The reason is inter-
esting. In the year 1854, on Sep
TENDER 20, a decree was issued by
the king Of France ordering that the
length of all the pocket handker-
chiefs made in the kingdom must
be equal TO the breadth and since
that time pocket handkerchiefs have
been made in the shape of a square
all over Europe says the New York
Commercial-Adyertiser.
Apropos OF linen lore, a most in
struetive little booklet, just brought
out, gives compr extensive history
of linen. ancient and modern. More
than 1000 years ago the cultivation,
spinning and weaving of fax gave
employment to many of the world 5
inhabitants. Until the establishment
of spinning mills in 1928 the scutehed
fax was spun into yarn by the farm
ers' wives ard daughters, originally
by a distaff and spindle, which was
afterward replaced by a spinning
wheel worked by the foot. Now
these are employed more for orna-
ment than use and have been super
seeded by new methods The German
linen trade dates back to- a. ID. GOO,
and Russia, Norway and Sweden have
not been neglected. Of their linen
manufactures Ireland, being able 10
grow flax and spin the yarn and
weave and bleach the linen, has al
ways taken a first place in this IN
dustry, even as far back as Henry
III. In William Ills reign an act
was passed to permit its import into
England, and the trade has gone on
/ and prospered ever since.

upon her in a little reception-room-
She was alone.
Cinderella" he spoke, joyously.
She looked beyond him at the man
bringing her an ice and said:
Take me to my husband; l am
tired"
McMaster made his way from the
room. Her husband! There was only
a fierce Indignation in his heart-a
longing to be free from a love that
was, and could only be a misery.
He went to his room and packed
his belongings.
AS he came down the hotel corridor
woman approached him.
She glanced at him, recognized
him, held out both her hands, then
drew back
McMaster bowed gravely.
She lifted the torn chiffon and made
him a sweeping, laughing bow. "Sir
Prince" she said, have you forgotten
poor Cinderella?"
McMaster held out his hand and
said good-by.
81 did not know you were here
and you are going away?" The girls
heart was in the ery-it frightened
her into conventional phraseology.
rs it business or something more
serious?" she asked.
McMaster forgot the rebuff re-
ceived; forgot everything but that
she stood there, that, in some dim
way, fate had given her to him, if
only for a moment.
He spoke with a quick, breathless
resolve: 1T is something more Sc
rious."
/ He led her to a little balcony that
hung over the water
There the night, the stars and sleep
ing waters flung a spell Of witchery.
You know why | 60"
"Why do you go?" she asked.
Because | love you'll" His voice
was rough.
"Then stayl"
For that reason / go!"
"You love me, but honor holds you
elsewhere"
Honor bids me 60. That love
should be an ipnominy in the telling!
/ You are minel Since that white night
you have been minel Tonight, in
the dance, You drifted towards me
i held out my arms TO you-in the
receptiou-room; you looked into my
eyes and beyond me and asked the
man with you TO take you to your
! husband. You ask why / go!'
She leaned her sweet young body
against him; she slipped her fingers
into his; her eyes were brighter than
the stars above as she said:
"The dear foolish prince to go
searching over the world for Gin
derella, and then, II fate had not
stepped in, TO lose her"
cinderella" he made GESTURE of
despair.
"Stayl" she stood a little from
him, "it was not in the pink gown
Ny cousin Edith, who is maryelously
like me, wears pink tonight"
But his starved arms had closed
about her and his lips were on hers.

ATTACK ALL WHO BUY MEAT
of Butcher shops Use Force
to Garry Out Their
Plans.

NEW YORK. May 17.-Rioting about the
Kosher meat markets In the East Side OF
this city was continued today. although
the regular police forces OF the district
were reinforced by 500 men Of the reserves.
The first trouble occurred when Mrs.
Jennie Pfax, one Of a picket force of twenty
women, was arrested on the charge that she
assaulted a butcher named Schlosly. When
a man went to Schlosly's this morning to
buy meat, the women, 1t Is alleged, took
the meat from him and tore 1t to shreds.
Then several OF the pickets entered the
shop and started to destroy the meat in
It. A policeman arrested Mrs. Piax, and
was taking her from the shop when he
was attacked by the other pickets and he
had to summon assistance. Three other
policemen answered his call and Mrs. Phax
was taken to the station house.
Many Of the small butcher shops on the
East Side were not opened for business
at all today because OF yesterdays rioting.
The trouble is the outcome Of a mass meet

SCORES GENERAL j. H. SMITH
Captain Grant Declares Former Has
fought to Reinstate Military
Rule in Leyte.

WASHINGTON, May fZ-The secretary
OF war has transmitted to the senate COM
mittee on the Philippines a report made
by Captain J. H. Grant, civil governor Of
the province OF Leyte, p. l., concerning
differences Of understanding between him
self and General ]. H. Smith concerning
the control Of affairs in that province. The
report begins with a complaint of the ar
rest Of several native presidentes Of village
by the military authorities:
Unfortunately for the peace and tran
GUILTY. Of the people of this province, the
we're fright since the BalanRiga affair and
have done many things that are calcu-
lated TO hinder the progress of civil gov

are described by Governor Grant as fol-
lows:

longing and arresting everyone who could

man who did not hear, or at least did not
take place under civil government.
Speaking of General Smiths achieve
ments in the island, Captain Grant says:
Since General smith has been in COM
mand here there has not been a single
surrender Of arms or men, nor has there
been a single capture to my knowledge.
only. thing he has accomplished, to
my knowledge, was the arrest OF a few
men on Biliran and along the straits, on
the confession of one of Lukban's officers,
the truth of whose statements Is yet to be
established. So general are the sensa-
tional newspaper reports that have reached
Manila from reporters travelling with Cen
eral smith that they are absolutely with
out foundation and l have found but one
object In view-the return of this province
TO military control.
Captain Grant asserts that certain troops
were removed from towns in Leyte for the
purpose of bringing about military control.

ROCK ISLAND GETS TO GULF
City Southern Road Said to
Have Been Bought In Its
Interest.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 17.-(special
Telegram. Control OF the Kansas City
Southern, running from Kansas City to the
Gulf OF Mexico. has been acquired by the
Moores and John W. Gates for the Rock
Island road, by the purchase OF the Dutch
stock. TIL same interests have probably
acquired the Arkansas & Choctaw. The
latter road has changed hands, but the
name Of the purchaser has not been d.
vulged. Tn Kansas City Southern voting
trust has three years more to run, but
there has always been a serious question
as to It's legality. and It is supposed, with
the Rock Island holding the majority
stock, there will be no question that the
property will be turned over to IL at once.
Information Of the deal in Kansas City
Southern comes from a source which.
though unofficial. has never failed to be
reliable in such matters. President
Knott said tonight that he knew nothing Of
the deal, but that 1t was a matter con-
corning which he would not be likely to be
informed. Announcement OF the sale Of
the Arkansas q ChoctAw Is made on the
authority OF a large holder Of stock, who
declined TO say who was the purchaser.
John Scullin OF ST. Louis Is president Of
the road. The Dutch stockholders have
been dissatisfied with the control Of the
Kansas City Southern because they have
been without any voice in It's affairs, not
outstanding they hold q majority OF the
stock. b voting trust was so con-
trOlled that Hartman. Gates ana Gould
dictated the policy and the Dutch
