PEN SKETCH OF THOMAS HARDY
Eminent Author Not Adapted for the
Role of "Lion."

Eminent Author Not Adapted for the
Role of "Lion."
Thomas Hardy, though frequent
visitor to London, still makes his
home in Dorchester, near which he
was born and where he has lived al
most his entire life He is said to be
quite Indifferent to the social fame
that successful novel-writing brings.
HE always looks a little too grave
and distant to be quite at his ease in
the midst of the jangle of smart con-
versation," writes a correspondent
who has seen the author recently, "but
at small literary dinner he becomes
at once sympathetic and interesting
and can be grave and gay. In stature
he is short, trinity built; the face is
intellectual, the forehead deeply lined
with thought, the dome of the head
expansive and thinly covered with
hair. The eyes are meditative, eau
tious; now and then lighting up with
kindly humor but generally very sad.
Mr.. Hardy always looks as though he
were a watcher, sitting apart from
the battle of life and noting down the
defeats of the day."

with the older men. Mr.. Alexander

Life Of German Crown Prince

Since his marriage the German
crown prince has turned over a new
leaf and is settling down strenuously.
He is full of plans for developing his
princely estate at Oeis and has prom
ised to double the salaries of his en-
ployes If they produce the best wheat
and rye in Silesia. He talks of Gull
tivating beets and manufacturing
sugar on his own land and has started
building model cottages for his ten
ants. He says himself he "is never so
happy as when he has more work than
he can get through" and that without
work he begins to rust" He has no
taste whatever for military life, but
takes an immense interest in social
questions. He is devoted to the crown
princess, who exercises the greatest
influence not only on him but ON all
the court.

Japanese Exodus to Korea.

Every batch of news from Korea
tells of migrating Japanese who have
left their islands and landed on the
big peninsula, where they expect to
settle in one or another Of the fertile
valleys that may be turned into fine
gardens. This movement of the Japa-
nese farmers to the mainland was to
be expected as soon as the predomin-
ance of Japanese influence began to
be asserted There is not country in
the world that needs more room than
Japan does, with it's 100000 people
and seven-eighths of it's island empire
covered with mountains that are mag
nificent but can never be made to
contribute largely to the support of a
rapidly increasing people. The Japa-
nese government is encouraging this
western movements of it's frugal and
Industrious farmers and the large area
of fertile lands still lying waste in
Korea bids fair to give the opportun-
ity that is so sorely needed by the
swelling tide of Japanese life.

STILL POWER IN JOURNALISM.
Theodore Triton, Seventy Years Old,
Keeps Up His Work.

Only few weeks ago Theodore
Tilton celebrated his SEVENTEEN birth
day anniversary at his residence on
the Avenue Kleber. in Paris. AS a
rule, his natal anniversaries are mark
ed by gatherings of the American lit
erary set. Tilton recites poem or
makes an address. This year the
function was postponed and the re-
port went the rounds that the last
had been held. Mr.. Tilton Is, how
ever, in fairly good health. He keeps
up his journalistic work, though he
does not care to have it more parti-
cularly identified. From the day the
Tilton-Beecher jury disagreed he has
stunned the public gaze of his coun-
trymen at home, though Americans
are said to read him oftener than they
read some other American correspon-
dents residing in Europe. His contrib
utions appear under various names.
It is reported that he has prepared a
full statement of the whole difficulty
between himself and Henry Ward
Beecher, which will be brought out by
leading New York publishing house
thirty days after his death.

His View Unitarian.

To her already considerable collec.
ton of old mahogany the woman had
added an unusually large dresser that
had its top covered with a slab of
marble not less than six feet long.
All sorts of comments had been made
on it, but one of her men friends
struck note that illustrated just how
many different viewpoints there may
be in the world. He stood in front of
it for a few moments and seemed to
be comparing the length of that
marble slab with his own person.
Then he remarked slowly: Wouldn't
it be great to have that in your rooms
and come home late on a hot sum.

face and few covering my body,
which produced severe itching irri-

such an extent that was forced to

of my town. After a thorough exami-

the treatment did me no good. Fin

OF Cuticura Resolvent in connection
with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment,

continued the use of the Cuticura
Remedies for six months, and after

Protection of Wild Life.

Is there any way of accounting for
the propensity manifested by large
number of people to kill something for
the sake of killing ito 1t is not in
herited from our savage ancestors.
They tortured and killed their
enemies, but never slew wild animals
except for use, and never more than
were needed. Civilized man, so-called,
however, goes out into the woods and
fields with murder in his heart and
calls it sport. Nothing is cunning
enough to keep out of his way, moth
ing so innocent, harmless or beautiful
as to escape his thirst for slaughter,
and very little that swims, flies or
runs is too small for him to hunt
down-Washingt Post

PANToMlME HAD BAD EFFECT,
London Youth Copied Crimes OF Hero
of Stage.


Are modern melodramas harmful to
uneducated minds? Some of the old
time pantomimes in London proved to
be. In the eighteenth century one
of the most popular productions at
the Drury Lane theater of those days
was a pantomime called Harlequin
Jack Sheppard" which was simply a
reproduction of the crimes of this
popular young criminal, who was only
% when he was hanged. His chief
appeal to the popular imagination was
his brilliant escape from .Newgate
prison with the letters on his hands,
and when he was made the subject of
a Christmas entertainment hundreds
focked to see it. 1t was even proved
that numbers of boy pickpockets who
filled the prisons about that time had
got their first inspiration to thieve
from this melodramatic entertainment,
and one boy confessed that he stole
in order to get to the pantomime and
hoped some day to be as clever as
Jack Sheppard.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
4 Desperately Serious Case Cured BY

not pursued all independent course sug-
gested by her sisters experience.
Mrs. Wyatt says: II had pain in the
region of the heart, palpitation and
shortness of breath SO that I could not
walk very fast. My head ached very
badly and was seized with vomiting
spells whenever took any food. A doc
tor was called who pronounced the
trouble gastritis, but he gave me no re-
lief. Then l tried a second doctor with

DEIFIED BY CHINESE
REMARKABLE HONOR PAID TO
AMERICAN CITIZEN.
Services Of Major Frederic T. Ward,
Commander of the Ever Victorious
Army, Recognized in a Peculiar
Manner by the celestiaIs.

To live on after his mortal death
as a deity, one of the worshiped gods
OF 40O,COO,OOO people, has been the re
-markable fate of one American citi
zen, Major Frederic T. Ward of Sa.
lem, Mass.
The story of this mans invaluable
services to the Chinese government
as commander-in-chi of the imperial
forces which suppressed the famous
TAPPING rebellion after a twenty
years campaign, is fairly well known,
but probably few Americans are
aware of the almost unprecedented
honors that have been paid to his
memory since Major Ward fell, while
leading charge by his Ever Victori-
GUS army near the city of Ningpo,
Sept. 10, 1862.
1t is pleasant to realize that the
memory of this illustrious Massachu-
sets soldier is so securely enshrined
In the hearts of China's millions that
nothing short of an entire change of
faith on the part of that great nation
can ever dim it's luster.
When Major Ward fell before Ming.
pc, to be later succeeded in command
OF the army by the noted Chinese"
Gordon, his body was committed to
earth with honors that have never
perhaps been equaled in China, save
at the death of an emperor
This, however, was not sufficient to
show the generation in which he was
held by the Chinese, for in 1871, the
late Ii Hung Chang of illustrious his
tory memorialized the throne that
Ward should be deified and a temple
erected where he might receive sacri-
fees.
The throne was responsive and in
the tiny village of Soong Kong, stu
ated about 100 miles up the river from
Shanghai, the necessary arrange
ments were later carried out.
Not many American tourists and
comparatively few of the business
men Of Shanghai find their way to
this remarkable shrine of an Ameri-
can-Chinese god, but few months ago
well-known Boston merchant made a
pilgrimage thither spent several hours

train over the Santa Fe" in less than
40 hours. That whirlwind train cost
him more than $4,000. 1t was the
fastest long distance run over mo1in-
tains and plains ever made on any
American railway. It demonstrated
beyond dispute that the Santa Fe
track, equipment and employees are of
the dependable kind. Probably you

Major Frederic T. Ward,

man, lone beautiful day in September,
to search out the place where an
American citizen is held as a god.
"The main room of the temple is
perhaps twenty feet square, and in
the center stands the pedestal or dais
on which rests the tablets which are
the material manifestation of Wards
deity.
There are number of tablets
about the shrine. Above all and the
most prominent one has these words
in Chinese characters, Sacred Seat Of
Major Ward Two others which
were presented by the Taotai Of
Shanghai read as follows: "A wonder

seas, whose deeds spread through a
myriad miles, and whose name is re-
tanned in stone and blood
Near the rear of the temple stands
the grave. 1t is large mound pos
sibly eight feet in height. Around it's
base are half dozen tall poplar trees.
1t is just such grave as may be seen
anywhere in China by the hundreds of
thousands.
"In no other place in the world
would the grave of foreigner receive
such homage as does this one of the
leader of the Ever Victorious army"
1t is remarkable story how Ward,
who without military training and
urh no
should seek such a commission. He
with his followers were playing for
big stakes. Many hundreds of them
fell on the field and received but the
scant honor of an unknown grave in
an unknown land

Force of Environment COMPELLING,

Scientists are continually telling us
that things adapt themselves to their
environment. 1t Is an inevitable law
of nature. If you go down into the
sea to sufficient depth you may find
there fishes that have eyes but no
sight. Scientists declare that the fish
had sight once, but being tempted to
lie in darkness, the sight at last went.
People are more like these fish than
they are apt to imagine. They are
affected by the things around them
