me in the words of our blessed Mas

men that they may sec your good

Such people often make use of the

they keep it there, for there never

This sort of people misinterpret the

says: eff you have a light, don't
put it under a bushel; that won't do
any good; let it shine that others
may see it."
All people who believe in the faith

man, and the progress of mankind
onward and upward forever, and are
working for the betterment of I'M
fortunate human conditions, are
quickened by the greatest spiritual
force-love-and if we would all
do as the poet says and turn our
clouds about and show the lining
for the inner side is bright and
shining"-this would be a happier
world and we would all be better
for the effort some of US have to
make to see the silver lining of
clouds of encouragement.

Speaking of the education of
Mexican girls, Miss McGary, in the
book on Mexico mentioned a week
or two ago, says:
"When a girl has learned to write
the most diminutive faint hand-to
express herself extravagantly in
poetic language-the spelling most
ly correct, there is no fault to be
found with her literary education.
Schools are as primitive as every
thing else in Mexico. The small
children study aloud like the Chinese,
and to a person passing a school
house it sounds like buzzing BEES"

PRINCE is GLAD TO BE
RID OF THE PRINCESS.
He Is Not organizing a Pursuit of
His Erring Wife.

Bad Elster, Saxony, Sept. 1.-Prin-
cess Louise of Saxe-Coburg, it now ap-
pears, escaped alone from her hotel at
2 o'clock Sunday morning. She was
joined under the trees in the hotel
garden by two women and a man.
They entered a two horse carriage, ,
which was waiting outside and were
driven swiftly away in the direction
of Munich. A man named w. Gratz,
who was stopping at the hotel, has not
appeared since Monday night. 1t is
supposed that he provided the means
for the fight of the Princess, and that
he was an agent of Count Matasich-
Keglevitch, with whom she eloped in
1897
Beyond the outskirts of the town
some of the occupants of the carriage
were transferred to an automobile and
the carriage continued it's rapid fight,
probably to confuse possible pursuers
1t is deemed likely that the Princess
was one of those taking the automo-
bile.
The disappearance of the Princess
was most dexteriously managed, as
she was under sharp surveillance day
and night, both by an especially trust
worthy court lady, with three servants,
and by the manager of the Royal Baths,
who had been made responsible for her
safe-keeping.
chambermaid, who had access to
the Princess apartments, carried notes
regularly between the Princess and an
other person. 1t was i'm this CORE
spondence. doubtless, that the plans to
escape were conveyed.
The pursuit is not likely to be keen,
as it is very well understood that the
husband of the Princess is rather
pleased than otherwise at her escape,
because he thinks she has been suf1i-
GENTLY punished.
The sympathies of the Belgian court
have been with her for the same rea-
son, it being thought that she has been
harshly treated.
The Princess, it appears, met Lieut..
Matassich Keglevitch in the garden of
the Dresden Art Exhibition two weeks
ago, where she was taken under the
escort of Manager Pierson of the sani-
tOrium.

line and positions and retreat. Their
pursuit is now in progress.
The result of this pursuit and the
result of the fierce battle waged on
the eastern line, where Gen. Kuroki
is assailing the force which has long
screened Lao Yang, together with
the abandonment of the Russian right
center on the southern line, exposes
the Russian left. But here the Rus
sian force is so heavy that it may
possibly be able to protect and ex-
tricate itself.
The question of the occupation of
Liao Yang by the Japanese is in doubt
The official dispatches do not make
mention of such occupation, but it is
assumed that the Russians are with
drawing through Lao Yang. and that
the Japanese possibly occupied it late
to-day.
The early success of the attack was
somewhat unexpected on account of
the strength of the Russians and the
nature of the Russian defenses. 1t is
confidently believed that Field Mar
shall Oyama will press the pursuit with
desperate vigor and inf1ict on Gen.
Kuropatkin the most crushing blow
possible 1t is believed that his
trophies will prove vauab BILE. 1t is the
opinion here that the Russians were
not able to carry many guns with
them and that they were forced to
abandon or destroy vast quantities of
stores.
