The Princes Ypsi was an orphan who had
been brought up by her uncle, the king, and
her aunt, Countess Olga, who was very
clever old lady. Many people suspected her
of being witch. She was known to have
learned six of the rules of magic.
The king listened favorably to the proposal
of Nilkin of Gnoware, and turning to Princess
Yps, inquired if she were willing.
The princess smpered, and put the corner

Eric replied, without hesitation, that OF

MOST HoMIclDAL NATION.
The United States e Said to Have
That Unenviable Dis
tinctien.

Says the Philadelhpoa Record: Ac-
cording to the unof1cial statistics
gathered in 1905, as In previous years,
by the Chicago Tribune, there were
9.212 homicides committed in the
United States during the twelvemonth
Just ended. This country remains on
the bad eminence It has long occupied
In the history Of crime; indeed, we
have increased our lead, for the num-
Der of homicides was greater by $40 in
1905 than it was in the previous year.
The record constitutes shocking in
dictment.
With the single exception Of the
Italians, the American people are the
most homicidal nation in the civilized
world. In fact, we are running neck
and neck with Italy with respect to
the ratio of violent crimes resulting in
death. In the latter country the homt-
cides number los per million of in
habitants per year; in this country
last year the ratio was lis per mil
lion.
A comparison with the criminal sta
tistics of other leading nations will
serve to emphasize the indictment and
make it positively terrifying. Thus the
annual average ratio Of homicides to
population is 13 per million to Ger
man, 19 per million in France and ~
per million in the United Kingdom.
One reason for these frightful con.
ditions is the laxity of the administra-
ton of the Ratably, therefore, murder
and manslaughter are four times as
frequent in this country as in Eng
land, Scotland and Wales, and nine
times as frequent as in criminal law
in ihis country. In England one out
Of four homicides is convicted of mur-
der and pays the extreme penalty for
his crime. Moreover, justice is not
only reasonably sure. but swift. The
legal executions in this country num-
bered 1873 last year. which compare
lively to a total of 9,212 homicides is
an almost insignificant proportion;
and everybody is familiar with the
truth that criminal justice in the Unit
ed States has heels of lead. The other
main reason for the appalling fre-
quency of murder in this country is
the prevalent habit OF carrying con-
cealed firearms. The ready pistol
makes murder easy. Restriction of the
sale of deadly weapons is an urgently
needed reform.

rHE GREATEST BATTLEsHlP
Uncle Sans "Louisiana" in Many
Respects Superior to All
Others.

The battleship Louisiana, which rep
resents the most advanced type Of the
fighting machine ever constructed, has
returned to her dock at the Newport
News shipyard after her speed trial and
is now receiving her armament and be-
Ing fitted out for sea, writes w. E. Cur
Etis, in Chicago Record-Herald. In sew
eral particulars the Louisiana exceeds
all other ships of all other navies, and
properly officered and manned, she
ought to whip anything that floats.
In speed. armament and coal-carrying
capacity, which are the three essentials
for man-of-war, she surpasses the best
and the latest and the strongest battle
ships in the European navies. She is $50
feet long, 1910 feet beam and 24.6 feet
draft, with a displacement of $1,000
tons.
Her speed on her trial trip averaged
1873 knots per hour; she can carry 1890
tons of coal, which will enable her to
steam 1000 miles at speed of IL knots,
and her armament is four 12-inch guns,
eight eight-inch guns and IL seven-inch
guns. She will have As officers and q
crew OF $40 men.
The strongest ship in the British
navy is the Edward VII, Of the same tom
mage (16,000), speed of 1876, or two
tenths Of q knot less than the Louisiana;
coal capacity of 1000 tons and an
armament of four 12-inch, four nine
inch and ten six-inch guns.
The strongest ship in the French
navy is the .Republique, $4,000 tons, 10
knots speed. capacity for 1900 tons Of

Uncle George Explains the Reform
Movement.

II observe, dear uncle" said Little
Dilly, that the newspapers are pay
ing great attention to reform move
menrs at this time. I should be glad
II You would inform me of the nature
Of this matter. Some simple exposi-
ton of its principles would assist me
in my studies"
"Ah, my dear nephew" replied Un-
Gle George, carefully filing his pipe
with the hay mixture Dilly's aunt had
purchased for him, you have touched
upon most important point in our
national existence. q point may say
that has become absolutely vital. To
gain a clear and comprehensive idea
OF the movement. for it is q movement,
one must consult good Master Web
ster. There we will discover that the
word has a variety Of meanings, but
the one with which we must deal Is
expressed thus: TO abandon that
which Is evil and return to the good
At this time reform Is rampant in
every section Of our country. We are
striving nightly to turn away the
evil and bring back the good. Polit.
ically speaking, to reform is to create
chaos, but only in the minds of those
opposed to the reform. Personally /
cannot say, my boy, that am great
1y taken with reform. Doubtless those
estimable gentlemen, Messrs. Folk,
La Toilette, Jerome, ct al, are seri-
GUS and manly in their intentions, but
as to the result Of their labors / am
not prepared to state.
We are well aware that reform is
now chiefly applied to our political
structure. To go at the matter in its
broadcast sense, we should rustic back
about q century and quarter ard
kick the Stats out Of the Father of
His Country and his advisers. AS we
cannot accomplish that we must do
what we can with matters at present.
To be plain with you I would say
that reform is based generally upon
jealousy. After that 1t comes from
q pure and honest heart, but I great
~ fear, Dilly, that the said p. and h.
organ is merely running for place.
Had we no news sheets, the wave Of
reform would wither and die like g
good resolution about January 2.
When q man is seeking political pre-
ferment, my dear nephew, he starts
In with high principle, and desire
to reform something. About this time
he awakens to ind things easy to
his hand. On the principle that va
riety is the spice Of life, the popylace
turns In and elects him with a hur-
rah. From that moment he is doomed.
We read scare headlines in the news
sheets informing us that Mayor Blintz
has declared war against the dives;
that he is about to turn the grafters
out of the city hall; that he has In
spected the plumbing department and
found It full Of leaks; that the city
chamberlain has been caught driving
Z team Of bays: that the street rail-
ways are grasping and corrupt, and
many other terrible things. Principal
