Speaking Of the reDorted shoa,tna |,

Speaking OF tho reported shoalIng
at the mouth of the Mississippi River.
an officer OF the Bureau Of Navigation
has said: ''It is true that Captain
Converse, of the Illinois. was sent to
New Orleans few weeks ago to look
into the condition Of the river and re-
port as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of sending
his ship there to be locked, but no
serious obstruction to navigation has
been found. No doubt Captain Con-
verse will make some report to the
Department., but as yet he has not
done SO. He went simply to deter
mine whether or not it was advisable
to send the Illinois up the river at the
time, and he concluded not to do SO.
He may have found mud lump at the
mouth OF the river, but doubt il he
will mention that in a report. Such
formation GOULD easily be removed by
the dredge and would form no serious
obstruction. It would not be shown
on our chart. Ifs dangerous bar is
forming down there, ana not advised
of it."
Levi Ankeny. Senator elect from
the State of Washington to succeed
George Turner. is millionaire banker
and farmer. Mr.. Ankeny is awkward
and diffident, so it is quite unlikely
that he will take q prominent part in
senatorial deliberations, says the New
Orleans Picayune. It is generally be-
lieved that but for the active and
dexterous campaign conducted by his
wife he could not have been elected
Senator. Mrs, Ankeny is q daughter
of Ex-senator Nesmith.

A remarkable theory in regard to
the increase in crime ID advanced by
DR.. Arthur Mcdonald. crimirologist
attached to the United States Bureau
Of Education at Washington. says the
Picayune. DR.. Mcdonald argues
;hat automobiles. electr ic cars and
telephones and other invention are re-
sponsible for the increase in crime,
suicide and various forms of abnor-
nality, because they cause people to
exercise less and to think more. This,
he says, puts an unsual strain on the
aervous system as compared with the
muscular system. DIR. McDonald's
conclusions are as curious as his
theory: ''Eat meat and potatoes, !"

Chairs with Arms and Backs.

Chairs with high backs and arms,
after coming into general use with the
renaissance, began to be Ornamented
with an amount of carving and gliding
that has hardly since been equaled,
which came naturally from the artistic
tastes of the period. Their size, form
and the amount of decoration lavished
on them indicated the rank, fortune,
authority or social position Of their
pOssessOrs. Bishops and abbOts had
seats corresponding with their dignity,
while those below them sat on stools
or benches. Only the king and queen
and persons of high rank could be seat
ed on chairs with arms and backs in
the time of Catherine de- Medici, and
her sons, cOurtiers and favOriteS sat
about them on stools called tabOrets.
This manner of expressing difference
of rank prevailed under Louis XIV.
and his successors down to the French
revolution. To the chairs deliberately
carved succeeded the armchair, so
called in these times, which, with un-
important variations, is much the same
as in the reign of Louis XIV. Speci-
mems of the stools used by the favor
ties and ladies of honor of the king
and queen may still be seen in the
royal palaces of France. They were
changed into the modern parlor chair
by simply adding a back, which has
hardly made them more comfortable.

PRINCE
CHARMING
By MARY SINToN LEWIS
Copyright, 1909, by T. C. Mcclure


SosososososossOsoOoOoSoooS
Clare Worthington sat before the fire
IN the great oak paneled library. She
had tried to read, but her book had
slipped, unheeded, to the floor, while
her thoughts wandered to that evening
week ago when the man whom she
was now awaiting had asked her to
be his wife. She had begged for a few
days in which to consider her answer,
and, after a week of severe mental
struggle, she that morning had mailed
TO him the following letter:
"My Dear Mr.. StauntOn-It seems
best to write what have to say, as l
have an explanation to make without
which l should not feel justified in Civ
ing you an answer. l was always a
complete failure as an actress, and so
nv only safety lies in entire frankness.
trust it will prove best in the end for
both of us.
Il am not in love with you, and it
has always been part of my creed
that marriage without love is a terri
bic mistake. l have seen the girls with
whom l have grown up make, one by
one, what the world calls excellent
Matches l, meanwhile, have clung
desperately to my ideals and waited
for the Prince Charming who should
carry me off to his magic castle in
Wonderland. But Prince Charming
has never come. And now is it best
to wait for him any longer? 1t is very
doubtful whether he will ever come,
and even if he did would Wonderland
be a Wonderland after all to a woman
of thirty two years-or more? l think
not.
But l believe in marriage, and I be-
lieve in it for myself. 1 lead a busy
happy life, but 1 long for wider scope
Smyrna times., 1903-08-26

ly, entirely, with all my strength, and
that is the reason that must give YOU
up. Thank yOu-oh, thank you-for
being honest with me.
And wait, dear, for Prince Charm
ing. If he never finds you. you will
at least have been true to what is best
In you. In being false to that, | am
sure you would never find that wider
scope and the bigger usefulness for
which you long. Some would, in your
place, perhaps, but not you. You see
that instead of being a crusty old
bachelor, as l ought to be, | am
young idealist still-but that is all your
fault.
Il am going to drop in soon after
my note reaches you, just for a quiet
goodby. l find that 1 cannot go away
without that. There is a piece of work
IN London that must be looked after,
and | am glad to take the chance of
sea trip. Faithfully yours,
"SPRAGUE STAUNTON."
As the girl finished reading the let
y,
a spark at her feet She watched it
slowly bore its way into the Persian
rug, then flicker and go out. She re-
allied with start that she had not ex-
unguiShed it, Rising she swept the
hearthstOne clear of ashes and ar
ranged the fender to protect the rug.
Stepping to the glass she pinned a
stray lock of hair into it's place. Then
she sat down and tried to think. But
her mind seemed strangely blank.
Even the cracking of the fire ANNOYED
her.
She could not have told whether she
had sat there a minute or an hour
StauntOn's card.
When he came in, the room seemed to
brighten. There was a sunshine about
his personality which every one felt
without quite understanding. This
evening his face was unclOuGed. The
girl looked at him and wondered Was
this the man whose letter lay on hel
lap?
You got my note? Is it all right?'
he asked her. She nodded silently
Then, with quick change of tone:
'Thank you," he said, "and now l an
off on a sea trip, old sea dog that am
can fairly smell the salt already"
You ought to have been Il sailor.
she said, quickly responsive.
And so they talked of the trip. of hi.
stay in London, of her plans for tn,
coming winter-Of everything save o
the one subject that lay heavy on boil
their hearts.
When he rose to go Clare rose, toe
and stood before him, her back to tn
fire. AS the light struck suddenly up
on his face she saw that his eyes wer
full of tenderness. But his voice di,
not break and the grip of his hand wa
firm when he bade her gOOdby
As she heard his quick step rim
along the hall the room began suddcnl
to swim round her. Her throat grey
dry, her heart seemed to stop beating
In moment the heavy front doc

Sprague StauntOn would be gone ou
of her life forever
Mastered by an emotion such as sh
had never known, she stretched out he
arms blindly and called his name. Sh
heard the front door open. Oh, if h

could recall him by a note on the mo
row, forgot everything save that L
