LlcORICE WOOD A ROOT.
The Foundation of a Very Pretty and
Dainty Plant.

Oalnty fldht.
Pretty nearly $2,0O0,000 worth of
licorice is used up in this country
every year from the lands bordering
on the Mediterranean. Most people
think that licorice is made from the
wooden twigs and branches of tree.
But in reality the licorice wood is the
root of very pretty, dainty plant.
which has beautifully shaped leaves
that are colored bright green on one
side and pale silver green on the 9th.
er. The licorice plant is perennial.
and in England. where they are trying
to make an industry of raising it. Tie
experimenters plant it in rows be-
tween cabbages and potatoes. In the
Mediterranean and oriental countries
great plantations are given up to il al
together The licorce plant throws
out immensely fieshy roots, full of
juice when they are fresh. They
spread and burrow far into the earth,
and good. big hole has to De dug t.
get them out The licOrice wood, as
we see it here. represents only about
half the original weight and size of
the root, for fully so per cent of the
juice is lost in drying it. Therefore
the licorice dealers are getting to be
more and more in favor of squeezing
the juice of the roots on the spot and
then shipping this extract.

How to Remain Youno Naturally.

Better than the art of growing old
gracefully is the secret of not grow.
ing Old at all. It is something worth
knowing and worth remembering.
The secret is concealed in the fact
that men and women are as old as
they take themselves to be. That i'm.
plies will power, but what of it? The
world is governed by will power.
When man says that he is dead
on his feet he is usually telling the
truth.
Growing old is a habit When
man at 40, or so or GO years imasines
that he is growing old, he will be old.
After awhile the world will learn

Thanks to his diplomacy in coaXinS
and wheedling. Hans German had at
last succeeded in gathering together
the theatrical troupe that was to bring
him fame and money in the wealthy
United States. It was with a sigh of
relief that he heard the order to cast
off. as he stood on the deck OF the
Rhineland in the midst of his assem-
bled company.
Meanwhile the company themselves
looked critically at each other. They
were quite well satisfied on the whole.
but there. was one discordant note
amid the harmonious concert. The
two leading ladies declared war at the
very start.
One. Fraulein Barcon, was tall and
thin. scarcely pretty, but, in her own
opinion, at least, her lack of flesh was
a mark of the greatest distinction,
and she was prouder of it than
duchess of her Quarterings. The 9TH
er, Fraulein Brussel. was the living
antthesis to her rival; short, plump,
SOlden-haired and extremely pretty,
she was as little like the naughty
duchess as possible. The reason for
their rivalry was-not far to seek. All
the men of the troupe, including the
lar arguishing dark-eyed tenor. were
wildly in love with the pretty Brussel
who, although she did not care a jot
for any of them, dangled them in pub
lie before the eyes of the lonely and
deserted Fraulein Barcon.
The journey was long and painful
one, ana Herr German uttered 8 sec
ond heartfelt sigh when he finally
landed his company on the dock at
New Orleans. Then came the diff
Guilty of finding rooms for his large
family. Herr Germans sighs were
many before this was completed.
Fate, often merry jester, had des-
tined that pretty Fraulein Brussel
should be lodged with certain Mr..
Wittson, a director of funerals and
cheerful undertaken. The little sing
er's gaiety was not lessened in the
least by meeting constantly the black
trappings and vehicles peculiar to her
landlords trade. A friendly relation
ship was soon established between
them and often after her meal Frau
ieln BruSSei would descend INTO tne
little shop. transformed at such times
into a reception room, and take part
in a game of cards, while her merry
bursts of laughter stirred the mOrtu-
AIRY wreaths hanging on the walls.
The day of her first appearance in
America dawned bright and fair. Frau
lein Brussel felt no fear. 1t is mex.
plicable how fate could have had the
courage to show herself so terrible to
such a radiant little singer.
Nevertheless, when she appeared in
the coquetish costume of the
Princess EudoXia, with her plump lit
tie self encased in short rosy petit
coats, she was greeted with an out
burst of laughter and hisses The un-
plying audience paid no attention to
her good full voice and clever acting,
and the poor little operate star was
promptly quenched.
The night after the sad event. as
she sat alone weeping in her room.
she received a call from her friendly
landlord.

honest funera! director, clasping his
hands in his wrath you have been

Our foreign policy has been so conduct

has been sacrificed. our elatic ms with all
foreign nations are now Of the most
peaceful kind: there is not a cloud on the
horizon. The last cause of irritati n be-
tween US and any other nation was re-
moved by the settlement of the Alaskan
boundary.
In the Caribbean sea we have rnace
good our promises CT independence tc

our mission in the island was one of JUS
lice and not CT self-aggrandizement; and
thereby no less than by our action In
hat the Monroe doctrine is a living real
lily, designed for the hurt of no nation,
out for the protection of civilization on
the western continent. n for the peace
of the world. Our steady growth in pow
sr has gone hand in hand with a strength
ening disposition to use this power with
strict regard f~r the rights OF others, ana
for the cause of international justice ana
good will.
We earnestly desire friendship with ali
the nations of the New and Did Worlds;
and We endeavor to place our relations
with them up n a basis of reciprocal ad-
vantage instead of hostility. We hold
hat the prosperity of each nation ia al:
aid and not a hindrance to the prosperity
of other nations. We seek internati nal
amity for the same reasons that make
us believe in peace within our own Dor
ders; and We seek this peace not Secause
We arc afraid or unready, but because
we think that peace is right as well as
