wELL-To-Do FARMER MISSING
He Checked All His Money Out of
Bank and Then Drops Out
of Sight

Whitestown, Ind, Aug. %. = Clar-
ence Bell, well-to-do farmer, 26 years
old. living three miles east OF this
place, is mysteriously missing. Last
Tuesday Bell entered the bank and be-
gan crying, saying that his wife, who
was visiting relatives at Columbus,
had been taken seriously i'll and was
not expected to live. He checked out
what money he had in bank, and was
last seen at the interurban railway
station, making inquiry about connec-
tons at Indianapolis for Columbus.
He bought a ticket for indianapolis
and left on the first car. Since then
all trace of him has been lost His

A ROYAL Name.

Before the heir to the German throne
had been in the world long enough to
know whether he was going to like it
or not they broke the news to him that
his name was William.
Having in prospect the job of run
ming so large a country as Germany, it
was not necessary to hand him one Of
those continued-in-our-nex names so
popular with royalty that is obliged to
impress the neighbors in order to carry
out the bluff.
1t can generally be depended on that
the length of a royal name is in in
verse ratio to the size of the kingdom
over which the kid expects to rule. If
it is a power Of the first class plain
Bill will do, but if it is one of those
toy kingdoms that a race horse man
can put in his vest pocket you can de-
pend on it that his folks looked in the
back part of the dictionary for the six
or eight pages of names and said to
him pleasantly, ''They are all yours"

Hurr1or Guo Philosophy

LOST OPPORTUNITIES.

II had my life to live over again
What splendid success I would wini
I never would make a single mistake
or waste golden moments in sin.
BY cutting out things that are not worth
the while
The world very soon would be mine;
Success ct my beck would most break its
To come when I gave it the sign.
II had my life to live over again
What wonderful things I would dol
Without an excuse I'd turn myself loose
And grab off dollar or two.
Whenever q good thing presented itself
I'd know 1t was good at a glance.
And on the sure things without any
strings
I'd play without taking a chance.
II I had my life to live over again
I'd capture the ladies indeed.
Because l would know just when to so
slow
And when 10 go fast to succeed.
I'd always have twenty or so on the
string
And one or two more in reserve,
And no one IN town would eer turn mo
down
Because of my wit and my nerve.
If I had my life to live over again
1t seems to me now I'd be wise.
Nor waste precious time in nonsense or
crime
Or things that.good people despise.
At least that's the way have mixed up
the dope
From what would appear a hot tip,
But I must confess I'd make a worse
mess,
I fear. than I'm making this trip.

Hague Tribunal.
Rio de Janeiro. Aug. 23.-In the IN
ternational American Conference the
resolution recommending the submis-
sion of the Drago doctrine on the mat
ter of the use of force for the collec-
ton of public debts to The Hague

ference, composed exclusively of rep
resentatives of American countries, but
that the principles in question should
be passed upon by an assembly com
posed Of representatives Of all nations,
as the principle affects the internal
sovereignty and rights Of nations. 1t
further expresses the opinion that the
declaration Should be extended to COW
er all controversies having pecuniary
origin.
The resolution recommends that the
governments represented in this con
ference consider the point Of inviting
the second conference Of The Hague
tribunal to consider the question Of the
compulsory collection of public debts.

ish between nations conflicts having
exclusively pecuniary origin"

TANNING ISLAND
BEAUTIFUL SPOT IN SOUTHERN
 PACIFIC SOLD TO GERMANs.
What the Transfer by British owners Will Mean to British Govern ment Which Has Cable Sta
 ton There.

! Changed Hands" is the possible sign one might see if he chanced tC
 sail by Tanning island in the south. ern Pacific, for this coral reef island which belonged to couple of Eng lish gentlemen, now dead, has been
 sold to a German syndicate. It Is beautiful spot and notwithstanding its diminuti,e size has some value, indus trially and commercially. for in its i wide lagoon there Is abundant mother of-pearl. and one part of the island Is rich in a kind of guano.
 The sale of the island has caused some surprise, and raised the question
 as to what effect 1t will have upon
 the British cable station which has a
 landing there. The island was an-
 nexed by Great Britain in 1888, and forms one of the principal landing stations in the All-British Pacific cable, which links up Vancouver and British Columbia with New Zealand the Queensland. The whole length of the cable is nearly 5000 miles, and 1t touches first at Tanning island, 3,237 miles from Vancouver. After another stretch of 1885 miles it touches at the Fiji islands, then at Norfolk islands. and from that point branches run to New Zealand and Queensland. It has been announced from Fiji that Ger man syndicate, which is probably backed by the government at Berlin. has purchased the island. Not un- naturally it is feared that should the station fall into the hands of for- eign power. the working of the All- British cable might be in langer.
 It has been pointed out, on the oth- CT hand, that as the sale of the island is being carried out by the representa- tives of the deceased proprietors, the British sovereignty of the island is no way in danger, and even the acquire ment of the place by German syndi- cate would not justify the establish ment of German naval station at Tanning island. The sale of Heligo- land was quite another matter. being an international act that transferred the sovereignty from the British crown to Germany. In the wide lagoon of Banning island there is abundant mother-of-pearl. and one part of the island is rich in kind of guano. Tanning island Is. like most of the islands of the South sea, most beau tiful and desirable place. It has rich vegetation which comes down in a picturesque fringe to the waters edge, and on the peaceful waters of the lagoon boating and fishing may be- guile the traders leisure. The na- tives. too. are interesting, and not civ- ilized to grotesque parody of Euro pean manners. They engage in canoe- building after their own ingenious
