pastor of the we'll known People 3

IC A. entertainment course We'd
ncsday evening, his lecture entitled
The Anglo Saxon and the Future
}u,ership of the World" The speaker,
who Possesses n splendid physique and
strong personality, was cleverly intro

the Baptist church, and soon had the
closest attention OF his audience, which
he continued to hold for over two
hours.
Or. Drivers lecture was q story OF
the onward march of the Anglo-Sax-
on and the dominating characteristics
that have marked him thru ell his his

over the peoples Of the world. DR.. Driv-
err draws his comparisons largely from
personal observation, having Travelled
extensively III many 3li dI'epS '''iSA 49,
esting lands and studied In Boston.
Liepsic and in Rome itself. He said
that however much he shines in the
world OF finance and diplomacy and
other fields, there are four things the
Anglo Saxon cannot do as can the
classic and romantic peoples of the old
world, and these are to paint beautiful
ly, carve, build n house and sing.
DR.. Driver gave entertaining remin-
iscences of the British Isles and all
most every country of the old world
His talk was interspersed with stories
of famous people, whom he has met
and he gave 1t as a fact that he mas

Germany, especially, he has the high
est admiration. A splendid tribute
to our own beloved leader, Theodore

Toward the close Of his address the
lecturer begged leave to touch upon
the great eastern problem, and In
burst of eloquence and rejoicing over
Japan's victory, declared Russia needs
a good licking more than anything else
and that Japan. unaided, altho possess
ing powerful backing, IL she chooses to
call upon It, will yet make the great /
northern bear go down upon her knees
before the other nations of the world Z

The Houses o. san Franci.eo.

William e. Curtis, in the Chicago
Record Herald, says: "The residential
architecture of San Francisco is just as
bad as 1t can be, and in the new parts
Of town seems to grow worse instead
OF better. The houses are all built Of
wood, for fear of earthquakes, and COW
cred with fantastic gingerbread work
limitations of bird cages, vegetable
crates, dog kennels, sewing baskets,
wedding cakes and all kinds of absurd
and preposterous lathe and sawed
work Lumber is cheap, and when a
man puts up house in San Francisco
he tells his architect or his builder to
tack on a porch or a balcony wherever
he can, to conceal the outside walls as
much as possible with wooden em-
brOidery and fancy trimmings and to
make it as ridiculous as possible. If
you will take the trouble to drive
around through the new part of town
you will notice that the fronts of the
houses are more like a Turkish kiosk
than they were five years ago and that
they are growing worse instead Of bet
ter"

The German For aeFurnace.,

Professor Oncken, who is lecturing
at the University of Chicago on His
tory" is a most accomplished linguist.
He spoke English almost without a
foreign accent after being in London a
month. He is said never to be at a
loss for an English word, though he
was once for the German equivalent Of
a common one. Some one had asked
him at the Quadrangle club, Herr
OnclSen, what is the German word for
furnace?" After hesitating a long
while Herr Oncken gave the German
equivalent for what would translate
in English "the central heating plant. Z"
He was as much amused as the Quad
ranglers at not being able to give a
better German synonym, and the
laugh was general when somebody
suggested, "Fancy your wife asking
you the last thing at night, My dear,
did you tend to the central heating

An African Monarch.

The kind of Uganda, in British East
Africa, rejoices or grieyes in the some
what picklish and chowchowy name of
Daudi Chua. This august. sovereign
may his tribe increase-is now "going
on" eight. To beft a colored scepter
bearer he has a highly colored court.
He sits on a throne of scarlet, and
probably the court carpenters have
made it world too long for his chub-
by little legs. Under the British pro-
tectorate folks have to be economical
in Uganda, and a king must grow up
to his throne and can't have a custom
made one every time he has growing
pains. We can remember when a king
of Uganda was every inch a king. no
matter how few his inches. So sacred,
so supra purple was he that the re-
mains Of his food had to be buried lest
its sacredness strike dead some unhap-
py subject. The British have changed
all that Daudi-we wish we had a
photograph of him-Daudi sits on his
scarlet throne, a leopard skin under his
bare feet, toy gun in his little hands,
probably not bit more absurd and
many times more sympathetic" in the
eyes Of the heavenly powers than many

been, is or shall be.-Everybody's Mag

Romnntlo N.oIrIno. n.o.-

There is a romantic story attaching
to the great rope Of pearls worn bv the
Princess Frederick Of Hanover at re-.
cent functions. They are magnificent
specimens and very old. Centuries AGO
a princess Of the house loved them SO
that they were buried with her. But
in process OF time the great grief Of
her relatives grew gradually fainter
and fainter until they began to whis-
per what a shame It was that such elo-
rious Jewels should be wasted. One
day the princess tomb was opened
and the pearl necklace was taken from
her neck. But the pearls were spoiled.
They had lost their luster and beauty.
The new owner wept over them and
dreamed about them, and her dream
told her that three generations Of love
" women would have to wear them
before their luster returned. Three
lovely princesses did wear them, and
they are now pearls without peers
