/ A Child's Advice.

One morning a Sunday school was
about to be dismissed and the youngsters
were already in anticipation of relaxing
their cramped little limbs after the hours
of confinement in straight back chairs
and benches, when the superintendent
arose, and instead of the usual dismissal,
announced: "And now children, let me
introduce Mr.. Smith, who will give US a
short talk"
Mr.. Smith, smilingly arose, and after
gazing impressively around the class
room, began with: 81 hardly know whs<
to say" when the whole school was con-
4ulsed to hear a small, thin voice back in
the rear lisp:

North Carolina at Bottom.

The question as to which State stands
at the bottom of the illiteracy list ought
now to be settled and the long rivalry be-
tween North and South Carolina for posi-
1ion of honor at the bottom of the COL
umn finally decided. A bulletin issued
by the department places North Carolina
at the bottom of all the States with 1861
illiterates out of every 1000. Next low
est is Louisiana, then Alabama, then
South Carolina, with 1854 out of every
1000. In the whole country one person
in every ten is illiterate though the bulle'
takes pains to state that if you eliminate
the negro and foreign element that large
percentage would be reduced one-half.
Among native white males OF native
parentage the degree of illiteracy, age 45
to "a, is exceptionally high, not only
higher than in any younger age group but
higher than in the next older age group,
So to Sc. Since those persons who were
between As and "a in 1900 were between
Eve and six when the Civil war began it
is evident their illiteracy reflects the con-
ditions that prevailed during that conflict
when the interests of popular education
in the South were no doubt seriously
neglected. Even in some parts of the
North there are evidences of an increased
illiteracy among the. children OF that
period. Thus the record of important
historic events may be traced in the dry
statistics of illiteracy.-Zach McGhee in
Columbia State.

Comptroller General A. W. Jones says
that county auditors must refuse to re-
ceiye tax returns unless the owners return
property at its market value. This is a
good idea in one sense, and one which
we would like to see carried out, but we
donbt very much if it will be. There are
lively times ahead if the auditors gener-
ally attempt to carry out the instructions
of the comptroller. Weare rather curious
to see the result in this county when the
auditor refuses to accept the return OF
some old tax dodger who has been dodg.
ing his proper share of taxes for years
and years.

In Louisville the other day street car
ran over and killed a woman with re-
markable record. She was seventy years
old and it is alleged that in fifty years
she had not drawn a sober breath except
at such times as she was locked up in
iail and could not obtain liquor. It es-
timated that she spent five years of her
life in Jail, and was drunk for forty-fve
years, yet she was so athletic at the age
of seventy that it took two policemen to
handle her when she became too bolster
Gus. She had been arrested 253 times.

GRAND DUKE is SOON OF AGE
YOUNGEST GERMAN SOVEREIGN
WILL REACH HIS MAJORITY
NEXT WEEK.
Event Will Be Made Occasion of Elk
tended Festivities in the Little
Duchy.

BERLIN, July 15.-The coming of
age next. week of Duke Karl Edward
of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha will be
made the occasion for extended festiv1-
ties in the little duchv. The Duke.
who is the youngest of German sover-
eigns, is very popular among his sub
jects and the celebrations promise to
assume a proportion quite unusual
even on such an occasion.
Duke Karl Edward has just COM
pleted his final military studies in Ber-
lin preparatory to ascending the
throne of his miniature realm. Despite
his residence Of several years in Ger
many the young Duke is English
through and through. In his early
boyhood he had little prospect of as
cending a German throne, for he was
born as the son of King Edward s
youngest brother, Leopold, Duke of
Albany. Queen Victoria's brother-in-
law was at that time sovereign of
Sake Coburg and Gotha, and next in
line of succession were his nephew
Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh; the lat
ter's son, Prince Arthur of Con-
naught.
While the young duke-to-be was still
at Elton there died, at relatively short
intervals from one another, the old
Duke Ernest of Sake Coburg and his
successor, Duke Alfred, whose only
son had come to an untimely end a
short time previously. The Duke of
Connaught declined to accept the
throne of Saxe-Coburg, and his only
SON Prime Arthur was equally rSluc-
tant to accept this German crown, and
ultimately it was forced upon young
Charles Edward of Albany.
The young duke came to Germany
and his education since then has been
devoted almost exclusively to German
izing him. In 1902 when he entered
Bonn university, that famous college
on the Rhine where kings and kaisers
are schooled, the rector made a men,
orable speech in which he adjured the
ducal candidate for collegiate hOnOrs
that men born to rule German souls

and German soil must be German to
the core" and added that the Dukes
most precious care, while beneath the
elms of Bonn, should be to permit
German ideals to penetrate the depths
of his heart and mind. 1t is doubtful
if the young Duke has fulfilled all
hopes in this direction, but, be this as
it may, the youthful sincerity with
which he set about the task has won
the hearts of his future subjects and
it is the general expectation that he
will make a successful ruler, even
though he be not thoroughly German
lied"
He is tall, spare, blue-eyei young
man, of amiable disposition and i'm
bued with a strong love of sport and
adventure. He was the best swimmer
and tennis player of his class, and a
dashing horseman, and was the life
of many a "kommers" of the smart
Borussia fraternity at Bonn. Should
he too, die without issue, the throne
of SaXe-COburg and Gotha would pro-
baby be forced upon Prince Arthur
of Connaught.
The word forced is used advisedly,
for it is not believed that the young
Connaught prince would accept will
ingly, unless he has experienced a
change Of mind since his school days.
1t is related in court circles that the
present duke, then Prince Charles Ed
ward Of Albany, was reluctant to be-
come Duke of Saxe-Coburg, and that
it was not until ne mad been subjected
to a vigorous kicking by his cousin
and schoolmate, Prince Arthur of
Connaught, who was afraid that he
himself would be obliged to become
German ruler, that the younger of the
two boys gave a fearful consent to ex
change his life and career as an Eng
lish prince for that of German SOW
ereign.
The duchy is about the size of a
medium large American county, con-
tanning 755 square miles, and mas a
population of 250,000. From a finan-
cial point of view, however, the posi-
ton is not so bad. When he takes up
the reins of government next Wednes-
day Duke Karl Edward will enter into
possession of revenues amounting to
about 100000, as we'll as of large es-
tates, scattered in various parts of
Germany, and of a considerable sum of
money representing the accommodations
of his minority.

MASKED AS CIRCUS HORSEMAN.
Brother Finds Sister Who Left Home
Years Ago With a Tent Show.


DUNKIRK, N. Y, July 15.-Frank
Knapp of Buffalo visited the Robinson
circus while the equipment was being
unloaded, and, being a good horseman
himself was struck by the manner in
which man handled some nigh spir-
tied horses.
There was something familiar in the
mans appearance, and on inquiry he
was told that his name was James Nc
Intosh. AS he watched the horseman,
the image of his sister, Florence, an
expert horsewOman, VINO disappeared
from him six years ago, came to him.
With Manager Robinson he met
Mcintosh" and claimed him as mis-
lost sister. The man" at first said
Knapp was mistaken and declared him
self to be truly James Mcintosh but
finally confessed to being Miss Knapp.
She left home after breaking off her
marriage engagement with Charles
Worthington, wealthy western ranch
man, and has supported herself in Ohio
as a workman for four years. Two
years ago she entered the employ of
Robinsop's circus and ner sex was not
discovered until today.
AS a girl on her fathers farm in
Monroe county, New York, she be-
came an expert horsewoman, and when
she left home to make her own living
her love for horses led ner to care for
them. She said she liked circus life
and refused to return home. 1t is said
Miss Knapp is not over 81 years old.
She will hereafter be seen in woman's
attire.

new CROP PRICES VARY
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS NOT
so PROMISING.
Northwest Will Practically Control
the Export Business This
Season.

Little or no interest is shown in the
wheat market aside from the develop
mentS which tend to affect the new
seasons movements, says the West
Coast Trade. There is the widest pos
sible range of opinion in regard to the
future of prices, with much depending
upon the harvest returns as they come
to hand. While in the Northwest there
is a continuation of the favorable out
look that has characterized the stu
alton throughout, the general position
of the crop is far less promising than
earlier indications had warranted.
There can be no doubt that revised
estimates of the winter wheat yield of
this country will show a total consid-
erably below advance estimates. In
addition, wheat stocks In all positions
both in this country and abroad, have
been run to low water mark, and in
the readjustment of prices to meet new
crop conditions the outlook is some
what improved over two weeks or
month ago, so far as growers are con-
cened. The disappointing outturn in
California establishes the fact that the
North Pacifis states will practically
control the export situation, while
probably finding a market at the south
for considerable quantities. That this
condition is anticipated by San Fran
cisco dealers is shown by the action
of the Merchants Exchange in elimi-
mating the discrimination heretofore
maintained against Walla Walla wheat
in filling contract grades on future de-
liveries.
Nothing of an unfavorable charac-
ter has as yet developed affecting the
crop outlook in Washington and Ida
no. The nigh temperature of last
week was unaccompanied by hot winds
and so far as reports have been re-
ceived did no damage. In the Big
Bend and later sections the grain is
not as yet past the point where the
wheat might be unfavorably affected
but the fact that the season has adj
vanced more than two weeks beyond
the time when trouble is usa1ly ex-
perienced from this source mas done
much to assure growers that they will
realize to the full upon the magnifi-
cent prospects for a bumper harvest.
Warehouse companies are charging
their facilities and the railways are
making preparations for handling the
largest shipments ever offered for
transportation. With prospects for
good prices, even though not up to the
level of the present, the season. which
will open within the next two weeks
in small way, is bright with promise.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.-Charles
