PLAN TO EXCHANGE BABIES.

Clearing House by Which Different
Nationnlities Are Traded.
One of the curious things run across
In Europe is the scheme OF a French.
man named Michael Breal, broached as
long ago as 1886, and which Is being
again taken up.
1t consists OF a wholesale exchange.
a swapping Of children from one fam.
lily to another
Here is n Partisan father in modest
estate, with son. This man has an
ambition that his child shall have a
thorough knowledge of German. The
proper thing would be to place the
child in some German family for a
while. But the difficulty for the father
Is to discover just the right sort of
family-one who would receive the
child, and, above all, one who had a
child to swap. The Partisan father
would be spending no extra money In
housing the German child and teach
ing it French, while his own was eat
ing at German table. Meanwhile
two nations were understanding each
other better. 1t was splendid scheme,
If only 1t could be carried out.
What was needed was baby bro
ker, as 1t were, an exchange. a clear
ing house for children. an agency to
keep tab Of families willing to swap
children and to engineer the swap A
man named Toni Matthew saw the

letter writing he won the indispensa.
BILE not TO say inevitable, sanction Of
college professors, of great authors.
prominent lawyers and members of
Parliament. He even succeeded In
placing an order for five children on
trial. He devoted whole year to
booming the enterprise. And Ii was
heart-breaking work He would win
the approval OF lot OF English or
German or Scandinavian families. ONLY
to find in his own land no readiness to
trade. And yet, in spite of every
thing, he has succeeded In a measure.
The scheme is working and Mr.. Ma
thieu has decided to found a society
and push the idea for all 1t is worth.
An elaborate system of correspond
ence has been drawn up already. There
is a precautionary exchange OF photo.

schwab Admits the Contract.

Charles NJ. Schwab of New York,
who is on his way from st. Peters
burg TO Luxembourg to visit the iron
works and who thence will return
home, stopped over in Berlin for a
day. In an interview, Mr.. Schwab said
it was quite true that he had made a
contract with the Russian government
for warships, but that he considered
1t would be improper for him to talk
about it. Those in the Russian gov

Japan's Advantage.

The population of Japan is about
$4,000, 000-one third that of Russia.
But Japan has a homogeneous pOpula-
ton and is near the seat OF waT. Her
supply of men will not fail and her
people are prepared for immense sac
rihces. The spirit of her soldiery is
splendid, as the fighting shows. Japan
can furnish men enough. She can place
more men at the seat of war than
Russia can. Her main problem is the
financial one; but herein she certainly
has no more difficult problem than
that which confronts Russia. Less diff
ficult, probably.

PRESIDENT ATTENDS CHURCH.
In Little School House on West
Divide.

Divide.
Glenwood Springs, Col. May T.
Unique in the history of Colorado was
the church service held at the Old
Blue schoolhouse on the West Divide.
and attended by President Roosevelt
and his party and all the ranchmen
and their families for miles around.
The little district school building was
not tenth part large enough to ac-
commodate the congregation. The or.
gan was moved to the platform in front
of the house. Platform seats were
provided for the president and his
party, the Rev. Horace Mann of Rifle.
Col, who preached the sermon: the
choir and the trustees of the church.
The members of the congregation
stood or sat on the ground or in their
conveyances, which were grouped
around the building.
The sermon by the Rev. Mr.. Mann
was of an unusual kind 1t began with
story, teemed with slang of the
western flavor, and was full of advice
suited to a congregation inuring itself
to the hardships of mountain life. 1t
touched upon the responsibilities of
the position of a president as we'll as
the characteristics of some of the men
who have occupied that position. AT
ter Rev Mr.. Mann had concluded, the
president spoke for about 10 minutes.
He expressed his well known views on
good citizenship, the morality of the
man, the patriotism and duty to the
country. He was heartily cheered~
throughout his remarks. After the
services were concluded, he shook
hands with every man, woman and
child present.
The services at the schoolhouse
were begun at II o'clock. Long before
that hour ranchmen and their families
began to assemble, Many persons
drove or rode horseback from New
castle, Rife and other towns from FIVE
to Is miles away.
The presidents party presented a
picturesque appearance as they came
up. All were on horseback, and they
were dressed in their hunting clothes.
They had no others at the camp. Many
of those in the rCgation wore their
best. The dresses and hats of the wo-
men were snowy and in striking con-
trast to the mud spattered tanduck,
blue jeans and other rough materials
making up the costumes of the presi-
dent and his fellow hunters.

They forget that it was the bullion
taken from the Comstock that built

is the best lininent the ever used
on them. II cures them of all
sprains and aches and the terrible
baseball complaint called "Charley

Captain Chance of the Chicago
team implores me to write on for
some more Trib, hence this letter.
How is Joe Egan? Is he still there
and now is the fighting game? l
would like to get Hart looked up

country. When do you expect to
