A Paper Fiber Vest would afford
both comfort and protection to
those who will see the inaugural pa
rade from reviewing stand or from
the sidewalk.
They are in no wise a clumsy
feeling, unsightly garment, and they
take up less room than the ordinary
cloth vest, retaining the heat of the
body and preventing the penetra-
ton of the wind and cold.
These vests. because Of the protection and
comfort they afford the wearer. should ap-
peal very foreibly to all out-of-door men
especially to the motorman. the letter car
rier, the bicyc1ist: in fact. to any man
whose vocation causes him to be exposed
to the cold.
They come in all sizes.

The martin is an interesting neighbor.

He is a graceful fellow, too. showing his
kinship to the swallow. No bird has

There was something in the sweet. sad
face that arrested my attention. and
thought that i saw a nalf hidden look OF
grief in the loving eyes Somehow that
look set me to thinking. and the thought
struck me that mamma as well as could

and time to rest. that she had been a girl

things that did. With these thoughts In

The affairs of the Congo Free State
have occupied the public mind consid-
erably for the last few years, and
charges OF i'll treatment and misman-
agement have been freely made against
the king of Belgium and the men who
represent him in Africa. Mr.. Wack's
book will go far toward convincing
those who have believed these charges
that there is no truth In them. To be
sure, the world is convinced that
Leopold ii of Belgium is far from an
admirable character, but the fact that
he has not been a good husband and
father, If report is to be believed, need
not blind people to what good qualities
he may possess. And that he has done
good work in the Congo Free State,
and that his rule there Is wise and
beneficent, seems beyond dispute ac-
cording to the testimony which Mr..
Wack has gathered in this l6rge and
most interesting volume. 1t is in real
ity a brief in defense of the Belgium
policy in Africa from beginning to end
and as such is exceedingly valuable
Mr.. Wack begins by going over the
history of what has been done or at
tempted in Africa during the last CEN
fury and quotes official records which
cannot well be disputed. He tells of
what was done by other nations and
then proceeds to an orderly account of
the forming of the Free State, its rise
ard its history to the present day He
gives at length description of what
the Belgians have done there In the
matter of civilizing and outstanding,
and the fllustrations-which are nu-
merous-give evidence of the immense
change in the appearance of the coun-
try, at least within the last decade.

which have been brought against the
Belgian king by the English, quoting
names and figures, and then In refuta-
ton quotes the evidence of eve wit
nesses and others who are in a posi-
ton to know of life in the Free State
He charges that propaganda OF SLAM
der has been undertaken by the Eng
lish for their own purposes and claims
that they have been able TO enlist
American papers and writer's in the
cause of blackening the Belgian king
and his African administration. Jeal-
ousy of the greater success of the Bel
gians in Africa, says the writer, and a
desire to hurt Congolese commerce,
are at the bottom of the hypocritical
campaign of SANDER made by the Eng
fish. Mr.. Wack devotes several chap
tiers to. the testimony of writer's, travel
ers and thinkers, beginning with
Henry NJ. Stanley, who heartily COM
mends the work done by Belgium, and
including many famous folk who give
their word of commentator of the ex-
cellent condition of the natives in the
Free State. OF the interest of the
English in this matter he says:
But 1t is in his ultra sentimental
mood that John Bull is seen at his
worst. Has there been a conflict be-
tween semi barbarous tribes in the
seething cauldron of discomfort, the
