The Palma Trophy.

International sport is a fine thing, but 1t
sometimes leads to tense feeling. Some
people, additionally thick-skinred, prove
on the test to be encased in q ffmy epider-
mis- 1t is unfortunate to be hard loser
There was the Earl of Dunraven. He felt
sore just because he could not do what no
her Englishman has been able to do since
the old yacht America sailed away from
its English competitors.
Here Is the Palma trophy scandal The
charge of foul play comes tardily. 1t was
believed that the situation was understood
when the rifle teams met and that there
was no objection to the use by the Amer
lean rinemen of the new Springfield rifle,
which had been adopted as the infantry
arm of the United States army but with
which the army had not then been actually
equipped. Though made by private gun
ne kers the rife with which the trophy
was won was the regulation arm made on
the government specifications. 1t Is alleged
that the rifles used by the British team
were also made by private gunmakers and
were not the product of an English ar
SERIAL.
Major General Lord Cheylesmore, pres
ident of the National Rife Association of
England, declares he believes the American
te am neither practiced nor intended any de-
ception. and that the technical irreguiarity
complained of did not affect the result of
the shoot The matter was laid to sleep a
year ago. 1t was the London Times that
woke it up. The venerable and respectable
Thunderer recently reduced its price and is
said to have taken a mild tint of pale
yellow. When a newspaper begins to hunt

The Title of King.

The title Of king is shortened
form of the Saxon "cying," which can
be traced back to the Sanskirt
"ganaka," father. This word
"ganaka' is used with the meaning
of king in the Rig-Veda, the most an.
cient part of the sacred books of tho
Hindoes. The age of the Rig-yeda
is not known with certainty. but if
can hardly be less than 5000 wears
and it may be 1900 years.
The father came to be called tho
king because in the process of social
organization the family existed before
the state. and the term was extended
step by step from the family to Tho
tribe and from the tribe to the no-
ton. Another name for ling found
il the Rig-Veda is rag" 1t means
leader, or perhaps steersman. It an

ing with their sons that they shall not

be weakness on their part-in the eyes
of their offspring weak
ness; but from the parental side per-
haps we may be magnanimous
enough to allow the argument, that
since the starting Of their offspring on
their careers with as little handicap
in the way Of broken bones and absent

their natural desire, but in some sense
their duty, why, objection to football
on their part is not exactly a crime!

When, thirty years or so later. ADra-
ham Lincoln became President, Bird
get was still living, "the slatternly
wife Of a farm laborer in a log cabin"
and still preserved the i'll penned let
ter which might, if she had been wise
have made her the first lady in the
land"
Even Byron, that most beautiful and
gifted of men, had more than his share
Of refusals, and one OF them at least
was accompanied by words which left
a sting to his last day. He was only
a Harrow schoolboy Of 16 when he
fell badly in love with Miss Chaworth
Of Annesley, a young heiress Of some
beauty, who was two years older than
himself
But Miss Chaworth treated all the
boys shy advances with laughter and
contempt, and, although he was "suf-
fering the tortures of the LOST for her
sake, refused to take him seriously.
But the browning blow came when,
from an adjacent room, he overheard
Miss Chaworth say to her maid: "Do
you think could care anything for
that lame boy?' "Th1s cruel speech"
he afterward said, was like shot
through my heart. Although it was
late and pitch dark, darted out of
the house and never stopped running
until reached Newstead."
Even Byron's future unhappy wife
rejected him decisively when first he
asked her hand; and only after long
resistance consented to receive letters
from him.
Shelley, too, almost as handsome and
as gifted as Byron, knew, from more
than one experience, the 'pangs of re-
lection" After he had been expelled
from Oxford and went to London with
his fellow culprit, Hogg, to live, he
fell violently in love with his land
lady's daughter, who bore the unro-
mantle name Of Eliza Jenkins; but
Eliza, even though he threatened to
commit suicide in his despair, refused
to have anything to do with him; and
when few months later, having
thought better of the suicidal threat,
he sought to console himself by pay
ing court to Miss Harriet Grove. q
pretty cousin, she was SO alarmed at
his heterodoxies that she sent him de-
cisively about his business.
When Richard Bnnsley Sheridan,
following the example Of many other
amorous young men, fell over head
and ears in love with Miss Linley, the
beautiful singer, "she only laughed at
his ardor, and made faces at him be-
hind his back" and yet he used that
subtle and eloquent tongue of his to
such purpose that he actually ran
away with her to a French nunnery,
and married her after fighting several
duels with his rivals and her perse-
cutors.-Chicago Tribune

VAST COMMERCE OF EARTH.
International Trade for a Single Year
Amounts to Sill, 100000.

International Trade for Single Year
Amounts to $11, OOO,OOO,OOO.
The. worlds commerce, as noted in
the annual report of the chief Of the
bureau Of statistics of the Department
of Commerce and Labor, shows the to-
tai exports of all nations Of the world
to be, in the latest year available, $1O,-
515,OOO,0OO, and the value Of the total
imports of all nations $11 ,SO9, 100000.
This would give the total value Of the
worlds imports and exports combined
as SO, 324,0 100000, but since all arti-
cles which were counted as exports be-
came in turn imports when they enter
ed the country of destination it would
appear that the actual value of the
articles entering into international COM
merce is, In round terms, 81, OOO.-
100000.
The value of these articles forming
the internal commerce of the United
States is estimated at 1900, 900, 900
in a single year.
Thus, while it has been customary
to speak of the internal commerce Of
the United States as equal to the en-
tire international commerce Of the
world, it appears from this statement
that the actual value Of the merchan-
disc entering into the internal COM
merce of the United States is practic-
ally twice as great as that entering
the international commerce of the
world.
Europe, Of course, supplies a large
proportion of the worlds international
commerce, both as to exports and inn
ports. The exports of Europe amount
to So 49S, 0OO, 600, out Of a total Of $10,-
5I5, 100000 exports of all the countries
of the world, and her imports are
SIS, 301, 100000, out of a total Of Sill
SO9.OOOOOO of the total imports of all
the countries of the world. Thus Eu-
ropes total international commerce.
combining imports and exports,
amounts to practically $15,O00O00, 600,
out of total of $50, 900 of COM
bined imports and exports.

The opening OF the subway in New

One girl is company; two breach
of promise suit.
Every woman is always doing some
thing either to get fatter or thinner.
No woman is so blind as to suppose
handsome eyes are made only to see
with.
The kind of mittens that keep
girls hands warm are a mans fin
gers.
For every one way there is to make
a friend there are several thousand to
make an enemy.
A woman would like to be rich so
she could give pennies to the poor and
pearl necklaces to herself.
It must be awful lonesome for
bald woman not to be able to wash
her hair with her best friend.
A man could stand his wife telling
him all the gossip if she didn't ex-
pect him to take sides about it.
When q girl has had the nightmare
you can generally tell it by the way
she says she eats no more than a bird.
A man could always afford to give
his wife furs and pearl necklaces If
being married weren't so expensive in
other ways.
The kindest thing woman ever does
to young man is to have him fall in
love with her, but not marry her be-
cause she is already.
When a man squeezes his wife's
hand she can tell the way he does it
whether he is absent minded and
thinks it is somebody else.
The cleverest thing is the way a
girl with bad attack of indigestion
can just love to have her sweetheart
read sentimental poetry to her.
A woman considers herself natural
bern financier when she goes over her
bank balance again and finds it is q
dollar more than she made it the first
time.
When man has been engaged to a
girl and meets her twenty years later
he never knows whether to treat her
as If she were his grandmother or his
school teacher.

GREAT LOVERS WHO LOST,
Poor Irish Girl Too Naughty to Wed
Abraham Lincoln. Farm Hand.


It NAV be some consolation to the
rejected lover to remember that many
of the greatest men in history have
suffered equal pangs and survived the
same ordeal to find married happiness
elsewhere.
When Abraham Lincoln, as youth
Of 10. was living in rude log cabin
in Spencer County, Indiana, and pick
ing up the rudiments of education in
the intervals of rail splitting and
blowing" he fell in love with the
daughter of poor Irish settler in a
neighboring log cabin, and after many
clumsy failures to declare his love to
her in person, penned with difficulty
one Of his first letters asking her to
become his wife.
He never received an answer to this
clumsy effusion," as he afterward
called it. but when next he met Bird
get "she tossed her head and looked
another way .'She was much too
good" she is said TO have declared,
Ito marry a gawky farm hand" Then
it was that Lincoln left the paternal
cabin and voyaged. as hired hand on
datboat. into that greater world
which before long was destined to ring
with the came of the gaTky farm boy.

Secretary Wilson conveys to the
American people the more than well
come information that the desertion OF
the farms for city life which has been
going on at an alarming rate Tor the
last twenty years seems to have come
to an end and that something like re-
action has set In If this Is true moth
ing could be a more hopeful sign for
the future prosperity and happiness OF
this country. Until a few years ago
American cities prided themselves
greatly on their rapid growth in popu-
lation and never Wearied of presenting
statistical tables showing an annual In
crease Of 10 or 20 per cent. After
while it was observed that all the cities
not only Of this country but Of all
countries were growing in the same
way. Finally it dawned on our I'M
derstandings that the farms We're be-
ing proportionally deserted and that
what we had been priding ourselves on
was nothing more nor less than de-
pIorable national disease. What we
had hailed as solid municipal muscle
and fat was seen to be dropsical wind
and water This wild flight Of the
country people to the cities Is some
thing Of a mystery, because it has Ia
ken place simultaneously with an i'm
mense amelioration of the loneliness
and hardships Of farm life. In our day
the trolley car darts by the farmers
gate, the letter carrier hands him his
mail and a bus calls to take his chill
dren to school. Farm work Is now
beginning to be done by~storage bat
teries. The farmer Is no longer COM
PEELED to manufacture everything he
needs but can buy it for a trlfe at
the nearest town. On his table are the
finest periodicals and books in the
world, he reads them by an electric
light, he telephones his orders around
the farm or his gossip to his neigh
bors and rides to the depot in an au-
| tomobile. How it is that men so pleas
antly situated, with the sweet pr1v1-
| Iege of looking nature in the face,
| breathing unpolluted air, drinking pure
| water and eating pure food, can give 1t
| up for the CRIME and filth, the smoke
and stencil, the close quarters and adul-
| terated food, the starvation wages and
| incessant strikes, lockouts and mobs
of the city will always be regarded as
| an 1nsoluble problem. Not only do the
| farmers wrong themselves when they
| flock to the city but they inf1ict ter
rible injury on society. Agriculture Is
paralyzed and the cities are glutted,
impoverished and corrupted. Back
| to the farm should be the watchword
| Of Americans. It Is to be feared that
Secretary Wilson is far too sanguine,
| but If his representation is correct it
is the best news this country has heard
in many years.

It takes a hard blow at the pocket
book, such as a crop failure, to show
some people the advantages of diversi-
fed farming. Every poor wheat year
has been followed by greatest atten-
ton to other crops in the localities
where the failure was most felt. These
experiences have taught the farmers
that wheat land will do splendidly for
other things besides wheat, and that
some Of the other crops bring more re-
liable returns.
