SHORTHAND MACHINE
FOR RAPID WORK.

M. Lafaurie, a Frenchman, is the
inventor Of a machine which he calls
the stenodactyl. He asserts that it
will write shorthand at the rate Of 210
words a minute. On this point several
experts who have tested the machine
agree with him. A board containing
ten keys constitutes the principal part
Of the stenodactyl. These keys when
touched leave marks on a strip of
paper, which is continually in motion.
A simple alphabet is used, the five
keys which correspond to one hand
representing the consonants or groups
of consonants, and the other five keys,

Philadelphia is still bit shocked be-
cause George Dickinson was a burglar.
A burglar isn't novelty. But this
man burgled only at night. By day he
was respected business man, person
Of affairs. You would as soon suspect
the family doctor Of arson as this quiet,
clean-looking man Of being burglar.
And yet, when the great part Of the
world was sleeping, Dickinson, coarseiy
dressed, cap pulled over his eyes, armed
to the teeth, was out HOUSEKEEPING,
thug from choice. When a man starts
out on Jekyll-Hyde career he Is head
ed for the penitentiary. He may De
smart and keen as a fox, but the
chances are against him. 1t Is bad
gamble. There is more money In being
honest than could be gained In a thou
sand burglaries. When man starts on
such a career he generally neglects to
figure that he has the world against
him. Once upon a time Kansas City
had a respected citizen" who was
train robber. He was SO smart that he
laughed at the law. When he robbed
a train he fixed up his alibi first When
there was talk about him, his friends
said he was prosecuted. One night
a horse stumbled and a rider was
hurled to the pavement unconscious.
Bystanders picked him up and took
stock Of him. He had a revolver, q
sawed-off shotgun, a mask and Ian
tern. The Jekyll-Hyde business Of
"Jack" Kennedy ended there; and this
respected citizen is in the penitentiary,
serving a twelve-year sentence. Frank
Brown made it work for awhile. He Is
an outcast to-day. Schneider, the New
Jersey bank clerk, made a success Of
the double life for time. Alvord, the
bank teller, who stole 100000, did 1t,
and the list Is miles long. But the
logical sequel is the penitenttary, and
the man who fails to consider that in
his calculations is a good deal Of a
fool.

ORIGIN OF THE TITLE.
Why ENGLISH HEIR Is CALLED
PnINCE OF WALES.
Diplomatic Trick by Which Edward
I. Indnced People of That Country
to Accept an English Ruler - An
Episode in Welsh History.

Few stories In British history are
more interesting than that of the first
Prince Of Wales and the manner In
which the Welsh, then bitterly hostile
to the English, were induced to accept
a Prince of the Royal family as their
ruler. The ancient Welsh were a
brave and warlike people, tenacious
of their rude independence, Romans.
Saxons, and Normans alike undertook
the subjugation of Wales and alike
failed. In their almost inaccessible fast
nesses, the mountaineers found ref
uge when defeated in the open field,
and the passes of the SnoWdon range
were so difficult Of approach and so
easy of defence that, after exhausting
themselves in efforts to penetrate the
mountains, the invaders usually turned
back and left the Welsh to them
selves.
1t was not until the time Of Edward
the First that any substantial progress
was made in the conquest Of Wales.
Edward I. was crowned in 1874 and di-
rectly after his accession to the throne
he began military operations for the
purpose of bringing Wales completely
under the authority Of the English
crown. Assembling great army, he
marched into Wales and first seized
every point of stategic Importance in

EDWARD III.

Welsh Prince, was defeated, yielded,
then rebelled. and, in the first engage
ment after his rebellion, was killed. AS
before, the Welsh took refuge in their
mountains and, deeming that the pass
es could not be forced without too
great a loss of life, Edward adopted
hepolicy of fortifying and garrisoning
the towns, and, in order further to
secure what had been gained, he COM
manded that strong castles be erected
at favorable points on the coast. OF
these the most important were Carnar-
Won or Caernarvon, Conway and Beau
maris, the first named being at the
southern end of the famous Menai
Strait and the other two at it's north
ern extremity, one on each side.
Of these, the first begun was Car
narvon, it's foundation being laid in
1882, though it was not completely fin
ished until 1922, fifteen years after
Edwards death. Two years after the
foundations of Carnarvon were laid
and the fortress had already grown to
considerable dimensions, Edward en-
tered into negotiations with the Welsh
chieftains for the purpose of bringing
to a close what promised to be war
Of interminable length. He was i'm
PEELED to this course by the apparent
the war into the Welsh mountains and
also by his desire to release his army
from Wales and employ it in Scotland.
But the Welsh chiefs were reluctant to
enter into any compact with the Eng
lish King They loved their independ-
ence and were exceedingly 10th to &C
cept even a modified form Of English
sovereignty. The negotiations seemed
on the point of failure when Edward,
who was as clever in diplomacy as in
arms, had recourse to trick. His
Queen, Eleanor, had recently come to
Carnaryon on a visit and while the ne
gotiations were in progress was de-
livered of a son, the birth taking place
in a small room near one of the gate
towers. for the royal apartments of
the castle had not been even begun.
Two or three days after the birth of
the child, later the unfortunate Ed
ward H., the King, assembled the
Welsh chieftains, who, it is stated, I'M
der q solemn oath of safe conduct.
were his guests in the castle and made
them a proposition to the effect that
If they would accept the English SOW
ereignty and cease fighting he would
appoint as their Prince a person born
in Wales. and who spoke not word
of the English language.
The honest, unsophisticated Welsh
men at once conceived the idea that If
they consented to the terms proposed
the King would appoint one of them
selves. They were all born In Wales,
none of their number spoke English,
and each, therefore, fulfilled the re-
quirements. So the chiefs consented,
and after their submission had been
confirmed, recorded and ratified by
oath, the King produced the infant and
told the chiefs that this was their
Prince.
The Welsh leaders were not at all
pleased with the outcome of the Incl
dent, but kept their oath, paid their
homage to their new Prince, went back
to their hills, did little grumbling,

COMMITTEE SAYS, WAIT
Commercial Club Public Affairs Com
mittee's Answer as to a New
Auditorium.

Secretary w. G. Nye Of the public af-
fairs committee of the Commercial club
has given out a statement In regard to
the proposed purchase OF the block oppo-
site the courthouse for an auditorium. He
says in substances:
The committee of the Commercial club
has considered the request Of the citizens
auditorium committee that said committee
shall take charge of the work of acquiring
the block opposite the courthouse on Fifth
street and that it shall also urge the city
council to sell the bonds authorized to the
amount of $15o000 for constructing an
auditorium.
After careful investigation, the COM
mittee decides that 1t Is unwise at this
time to press this matter for the follow
ing reasons:
with the improvements to be made on
the exposition auditorium the city will
have an auditorium which will in a large
measure supply the public need for such
a hall.
1.-THE committee Is Of the opinion that
it would be unwise for the city to increase
its bonded debt for the purpose of build
ing public hall at a time when so many
improvements of greater public necessity
are demanded, as Is the case at the pres
ent time.
THE acquisition Of the site selected
by the citizens committee. while accep-
table to many citizens, Is opposed by a
large number. This site, were it accep-
table to all, would cost approximately
1926 900.
The committee is ready to push any
sufficiently great to awaken public spirit
in the project, and whenever a location can
be agreed upon, which will meet with gem
eral approval
