man who can boast Of being an Asiatic'
monarch and whose sovereignty over
the sultanate of Sarawak, in the island

million, is recognized by King Edward
as subject to British suzerainty. has
just issued a proclamation appointing
his eldest son and heir, Vyner Brooke,
to act as stakeholder and viceroy Of
Sarawak- Sir Charles, who expressly
declares that he does not abdicate his
throne, explains that age and growing
infrmities have led him to transfer the
task of administering the government
of his sultanate to his eldest son, who
bears the title of Rajah Muda, who
will henceforth be entitled TO use the

leaves;
The patter of rain on a farmhouse roof
and a flash of the trickling caves;
The glimpse of a long, long lane that
turns and winds among the trees;
The scent of clover and mint and thyme
and the buzz of humblebees;
A breeze blows in at the window here,
with the sickles' harvest tune,
The ripple and splash of a rock bound
stream and and the light of a har-
vest moon,
That filters away through the leaves and

A breeze blows in at the window here
that is fraught with memory.
Here is the tower of a granite pile and
here is an endless wall
OF brick and stone, with the misty light
of the city over all,
Up from the street comes a ceaseless din,
and the rattle of wheels on stone,
But the breeze blows in at the window

blown;
With the tinkle far of a schoolhouse bell
and the cry of lads at play,
The murmuring chant of the forest deep
and the fields that stretch away
To the rising hills. where the moon is
hid, till the yellow flames arise
AS the rays of a night-lamp swung for
US through the arch of star-gemmed
skies.
Here are the streets where the toilers
are. and the din of busy wheels.
But a breeze blows in at the window
here like a welcome thief and steals
The glow of the city streets away, and
the pulsing roar grows dim
In the melody of church bells chime
and the chant of an evening hymn.
The stony streets are turfy paths and
the city's din and roar
Is the far-off. note OF the woodland wild
or the break of waves on shore.
When the free-winged winds from the
far hills blow. and the tears that
dim the eye
Are deWdrops on wood violets in the
cloistered dells that lie.
breeze comes in at the window here
like a soothing message blown
From the world of birds and trees and
flowers to the world of brick and
stone;
Cries out to the heart that is Gagged and
barred and bids it spread it's wings
For little while and wander back where
the sweet-voiced wild bird sings:
The tinseled glow of the city pales In
the light of the yellow moon
That filters down through the bows and
leaves, and the joy of the wild birds

Rings out in a song of welcome home;
while the city's roar grows dim

his thumb toward a slim emaciate OF

the group Of tobacco capitalists who
some years ago set out to revolutionize
the cigar industry and wipe Cuba off

the leaf in Cuban air SOS to get the
genuine Havana flavor. Great scheme!
They had a hundred men at work

MEREDITH ON THE BRITISH ARMY.

George Meredith, last of the great Victorian novel

self with characteristic vigor leading questions of
the day in England and in the broader world theater
Together with some caustc comments upon the trend
OF the church, the drift of politics and the aspect
of literature and joAalism, the aged novelist has
say concerning the British army and British loyalty
much which carry barbed sting the self-sats
fed military caste in the United Kingdom.
"All our battles soldiers battles" says Meredith,
"and army will remain a chaos long it is
rolled by singuarly unintelectua, ileducated and
unbusinesslke class The Salvation Army might teach
them lesson railway companies"
The fear of death is the real of the English
objection conscrption, continues Meredith in euc-
dating the broader aspect of what seems to him the de-
cadence of the military spirit Men to

meaning is they afraid of being called and get

That is right from the shoulder 1t tells plain things
plain way palmer even than Kiping has put them
in his poems to the glorfcation of Tommy Atkins
Judging from editorial comment upon these uterances
the cap fits the British head snugy that binds
somewhat and gals not little. With the
debt for the years of fighting necessary to reduce
Beers looming large before them, friends across
the pond believe that they thus put boldly into print
what they have dared only to think since Spon Kop

ton "How long has it been true?"
Being distinctly military nation, Great Britain tole
rates open discussion of the inside operations of its

OF social conditions and environment
as the youth from the slums who goes
wrong. His upbringing was Of he very
worst sort to fit him for the response

something Of the value of money. An
only child, he was INDUCED in every
whim or fancy that money could graf

hardly any. Religious influences were

1t was his craze for jewelry which
has been chiefly responsible for his
financial smash. AS regards them he

Cabled reports have already told fully
what weird and wondrous collection
Of them he has acquired. His object
appears to have been two-fold. He had
something Of the magpie about him-a
strange habit of boarding these costly
trinkets and gegaws, which was shown
by the unexpected places in which they
have been found during the recent
search in Anglesey Castle made for
the benefit of his creditors. The other
and perhaps more powerful motive was
a veritable mania for elf-adornment,
which led him into another strange set
of excesses-the pursuit of a semi
theatrical career. He seems always to
have been attracted by the theater. but
at certain point in his career he
seized upon this as a means of ex-
hibiting his priceless jewels. The lit

chioness Of Anglesey. As Americans
know, in one part of the Continent
the famous actOr-peer and spend
. thrift dandy is wondering how on
earth a young man who has been in
the habit Of spending something like
a million dollars annually Is TO get
any fun out of life on the beggarly
$4,000 q year which his creditors
have allowed him. In another part
of the Continent, however, his beau
tifbl wife is congratulating herself
that the aforementioned creditors
cannot touch the $4,000 a year
which the Marquis settled upon her
soon after their marriage. But the
MarchiOness Of Anglesey has no in
tentiOn, I am told, of dividing with
her husband, now that her income is
tenfold larger than his.
Since the creditors swooped down
upon him much has been written
about the eccentric career of the
Marquis, but little attention has been
paid to his marriage, which turned
out as disastrous as most of his other
ventures. Besides being marvelously
pretty the Marchioness of Anglesey
is famous for her abundant red hair,
which is Of the kind that artists and
poets rave over. She IS a daught II

Of her marriage to Sir George was
the widow Of the last Marquis of
Hastings. Lillian Chetwyni inherited
her mothers J eauty and from the
smart and rapid set in which she
moved she acquired the notion that
Cupid was played out and that the
right and proper thing to do with a
pretty face like hers was to marry
wealth and title. Independent of other
considerations, and make a brilliant
match.
The marriage was a failure almost
from the start. The Ideal Husband
was one Of the plays staged later on
by the Marquis at Anglesey Castle
and the title role he regarded as one
OF his greatest histrionic triumphs. but
in real life he fell far short of real
izing it. Before the honeymoon had
waned an open rupture occurred be-
tween them. Both found the matri-
rRonjal fetters irksome. Although
the Marquis was proud Of his wife's
beauty il did not render him indiffer-
