TITLE sEEoRE BREAKFAST.
The Story Of How the Kaiser Made
Won Ruelow a Prince.

Won BueloW a Prince.
When the Moroccan controversy had
continued two months, it still seemed
that Germany might emerge from the
dispute with scanty success. In this
controversy Won Buelow's diplomatic
skill had been pitted against that of
M. Delcasse, the talented statesman
who had directed the foreign affairs
Of France with conspicuous success
for seven years. Won Buelow, however,
worked with great dexterity, until he
contrived suddenly to bring about Del
casse's dramatic defeat. His retire.
ment into private life followed.
When Europe woke up one morning
to learn that Theophile Delcasse had
quilted office, it could hardly believe
the report. At sunrise a special
messenger was sent to the imperial
palace with the news. The kaiser, over
joyed, rose, dressed quickly and drove
to the chancellor's official residence.
Extending his hand impulsively, he
said: Prince Won Buelow, l congrat-
ulate you on your success" Won Bue-
low hesitated and looked questioning
ly at the kaiser. Il have created yol
a prince as a token of my gratitude
FOR your service to my dynasty and the
empue."

ANHMIA CAN Be CURED

Root Of Disease,

anemia just as food cures hunger. They
cured Mrs. Thos. J. McGann, of II
Lincoln Place, Plainfield, Nj, and they
can do as much for any other pale, weak,

"In the spring of 1908 I did my usual

"and soon afterward 1 began to have the

Mr.. ABRAHAM AND OTHERS. e
Belief That Men Who Commit Suicide
Are Not Insane,

Belief That Men Who Commit Suicide
Are Not Insane.
Mr.. Abraham, a wealthy and worthy
member Of the Boston school board.
recently committed suicide, as did
several other men in the same city at
about the anne time. Mr.. Abraham
had been in business for many years,
had accumulated, presumably, 5000, 900,
and occupied an enviable position in
the esteem Of business men. Then
business went wrong, his own atten-
ton was diverted, and those to whom
he left the charge of affairs were I'M
successful, until collapse was threat
ened. He lacked the courage to con-
fde to his friends and ask their as
sistance. At a time when great wealth
was coming to his associates it was
humiliating for him to confess failure.
He preferred to face God than his fell
low men, and the first suspicion of the
real situation was the tragic ending.
A day or two later another man de-
parted in the same manner at a Boston
hotel, leaving, among three other let
tiers to be mailed after the event, one
to the editor of the Journal of Educa-
ton. After explaining how matters
had gone wrong, he closed his letter
thus: Il die by my own hand. Good
bye, my friend. Kind wishes for you
and yours" Those who have never
received such a letter from a friend
after his departure can have slight
appreciation of the sensation. The
frequency of suicide is bringing it into
many unexpected circles. It is ap-
parent that men are no longer insane
who do the deed. A calmer, more bus
mess like letter could not be written
than that of Mr.. p in the hour
of the fatal shooting. It is equally
certain that fear to meet ones God
with red hands is less and less a de-
terrent element in the case. What,
then, is the remedy? Teaching and
inspiring greater heroism, warmer
faith in mankind, and a nobler pa
thence. Every day we may do some->
thing, often much. to save men from
their own hand-Journal of Education.

FOLLY OF
Cling to Belief That Climate, Unaided,
Will Cure.

Will Cure.
Twenty thousand cases of consump-
ton come to the great Southwest ev-
cry year. From all parts of the North.
the East and the Middle West they be-
gin as soon as the mild days of au-
tumn give place to frost and snow, to
flock hitherward in the belief that the
disease from which they suffer will
yield, speedily or slowly, but surely, to
the milder climate which they know
awaits them here. . I asked a
thoughtful, conscientious man wheth-
er any of these consumptives died.
"Die! did you say? They used to get
we'll when they came in time, but now
owe 60 per cen of them die sooner or
later. They don't take care of them
selves; they won't let us take care OF
them very long, and they are a burden
to us, a harm to the community and
often a discredit to the doctors who
sent them here and who should have
known better"
They are fools, FOOLS" said another
doctor of high standing and large ex-
perience. Fools and crazy" he add
ed. Then he walked the floor in his
anger at the folly and ignorance of
many Of those who come, as we'll as of
those who sent them. why do they
leave home? Don't they know n bet
ter? Do they think that climate will
cure everything, or that we have moth
ing to do but to look after them, give
them advice which they will not fol-
low, pay their bills when they have
no money and bury them when they
are dead? Yet they still come. and
we can do nothing for most of them
except to help them die."-Reader.

The idea of this arch was suggested

Plans for the historic arch which is
to be erected at one of the entrances to
the old Cambridge (Mass.) common by
the national society, Daughters of the
Revolution, have been approved, and
The work will begin Immediately.
When the plans were first presented
to Mayor DAILY of Cambridge the pro-
posed site for the arch was at the en-
trance to the common near the his
toric Washington elm. However, af-
ter the various committees had been
consulted in the matter the site was
changed to the entrance at the inter
section of Gardner street and Massa-
chusetts avenue, very nearly opposite
Christ church.
The plan for the arch is suggestive
of colonial architecture, f1anked on
either side by law walls, that form a
recess. On each of the side walls are
low stone seats. Between the two
large gateposts is a wrought iron arch,
having in the center the seal of Massa-
chusetts.
The arch will cover an area 80 feet
in length and 10 feet in depth. The
gate opening is about eight feet and
the arch will be Is feet high. Gran
tie is to be used for the stone work,
and the recess is to be paved with
granolithic blocks.
On the walls at either side Of the
gate posts there will be two handsome
bronze tablets setting forth the pur-
pose of the memorial. On one tablet
is the seal of the society and figures
representing Justice and Prosperity.
with the inscription: "Near this spot
Washington took command of the con-
tinental army July 5th, ITS" Erect
ed by the Daughters of the Revolu-
ton" (the date to be added. The 9th
er tablet has a portrait of Washing
ton, with the continental flags, and
figures representing peace and war.
