A Great Romantic Yarn.

1t ISN'T often that you get hold of as
good story as Stewart Edward
Whites "Buried Treasure" IN
McClure's for June. Here we have
good, old-iashioned, romantic
adventure yarn. The setting is happy
and the characters are unusuol, and
and the action moves along ike a
limit ID express train. The title
suggests the main motive, but this
treasure is buried in about the most
inaccessible place in the world,
semewheres back from the beach IN
Lower California. The man who has
the map is an inscriptions sailor
named Handy Solomon, who has no
concience and only one hand. In
place of his missing member he wears
a long, curved, sharp-pointed hook
which he uses with more evil effects
than another man would manage a
kuife or a gun. He perSuades three
miners to accompany him in the
search for private gold. BY this time
you are prepared for the cold-blpoded
murder which follows and for the
horror OF the long fight against thirst
and hunger which ends IN the escape
of the sailor and the bare rescue o
the others. For sheer dramatic force
there hasn't been a story that coulc
touch this in long time.

General. Besides these many |
presidents and other representatives
Of local chapters from all parts of the
state were present. and many guests,
among them Mrsd Joseph o, Shelby
and Mrs Harry B, Hawes.
Below are published few Introductory
paragraphs Of Mr. Halves speech;
Veneration for the dead is the
noblest characteristic of man.
Logicians try to prove that every act
Of man or woman has a selfish Eotive
They show that even the love of the
mother for the child and Of the child
| for the mother has In 1t some element
Of selfishness. But I fancy that it
would require reasoning too subtle
for me to follow to find any other
motive than the most disinterested
patriotism to bring about such
meeting as we have here today.
Active in business, busy providing
fer families, with attention centered
upon professional or industrial
pursuits, men sometimes forget those
finer things which make life the
more pleasant, 1t is therefore often
left for our women to bring US back
to the refinements of life and 1t is
tney who employ themselves with
genealogies aud family trees and keep
alive the memories of those who have
gone, even as we today contribute
our mite by reviewing the times OF
forty years ago aud demanding, as
sons and daughters of Confederates,
that the events of that stirring period
be properly chronicled and history
written which gives fair account Of
the great struggle between the North
and the South.
The colossal fortunes Of the rich
men Of our daf make it a matter Of
no sacrifice to furnish to art galleries
fine pieces of sculpture, marbles
carved by skilled artists aud great
paintings, to public institutions and
museums. Unlike these gifts OF the
very rich, the monument erected
here today is che result Of Ave years
Of hard and persistent work on the
part OF the sweet ladies OF Missouri,
contributed little at time but
growing gradually until it assumed
the handsome proportion necessary
to purchase the masterpiece unveil d
today.

Indian Famine Figures.

"Famine history IN India is not
calculated to foster optimism, even
among those that really believe in the
Krsg.J Jorgensen style of civilization"
says Charles Edward Russell In the
Juue instalment of "Soldiers of the
Common Good" IN EverybOdy's
Magazine. "Including the disaster
now in progress the one hundred and
fifty years of British rule in India
have seen twenty-three great Indian
famines. The world has no meaning
for you unless you have been on the
ground and have noted for yourseltthe
terribl5 things that are so far beyond
the reach of words. Famine in India
does not signify merely that great
many peopls have insufficient food
and must be helped, for that is the
normal condition 1t means that
before the season oiscarcity has passed
literally millions Of M 30, women. and
1t le children will perish with the
prolonged agonieS Of starvation, that
the dead will cumber the streets Of
VILLAGES, that there will not be enough
living to give them burial, that the
crows and kites and vultures will not
be enough to devour them.
Tin the Madras famine OF 1888
groups of people died together In the
streets; country roads we're like vast,
unprecedented battlefield, strewn
with dead bodies OF the 100000
inhabitants OF Gantur 290, 900 starved
to death. In the Northern Indian
famine OF 1887, 1000, 900 perished; in
the same region, in 1850, the
starvations numbered 100000. In
1855 one third the population oI
Orlssa, or about 100000 persons,
persisted. In the Northern IudiaL
famine of 1869 the mortality was
1900, 900. In the Madras famine OF
1877 it was more than 100000 IL
the Northern Indian famine Of 1878 il
was / 1.250,000. In the great famine
o; 1897, with one exception the wors
that had ever visited India, 5000. 00C
persons we're at one time receiving th'
government relief that alone KEEP
them alive.
"But all these horrors are surpassed
: by the startling devastation Of tn,
black famine that began in the Punial
Rajputana, the Central Provinces, ant
Bombay in 1900 and was hardl.
extingushsd for two years. In June
1900, 100000 people we're oil
