w Wflte II MISS Alice Roosevelt
returns to this country
about the middle of next month, hers
will be the unusual distinction of having
met and been entertained by more occu-
pants of royal and imperial thrones
members of their families, and of the
worlds nobility than any other American
of her day and generation. Further
more, she is the only daughter of n
President who has gone world travelling
during her fathers term.
As delicate compliment to her-she
was then Miss Roosevelt-our own Sui
tan of Sulu, on meeting her, offered the
Presidents daughter his hand in mar
rage, and loaded her with quaint ORR
entail baubles from his treasure supply.
That old ogre of the yellow East-the
Dowager Empress of Tsi-An-would
have it no other way than that Miss
Roosevelt should pass night or two IN
der the roof of the Imperial Palace.
When she returned to her home in
Washington, Miss Roosevelt confded to
her friends that one of the most enjoy
able incidents in the trip to the Philip
pines and back was her visit and friendly
chat with the Great Old Woman of the
Yellow Millions.
Of course, while at the Court of Pc
kin, lesser members of the Imperial
Family were made known to her.
In Japan princes imperial and prin-
cesses imperial We'd with one another to
give hearty welcome to the young lady,
and, as a climax to the sojourn in Toxic,
there was an audience with the grave
Mikado and his doll-like consort.
Three years before she sailed for the
Philippines Miss Roosevelt, with the ge-
NAL Prince Henry of Prussia standing
by her side, christened the American
built yacht of the German War Lord.
Now, Miss Alice Roosevelt no longer,
but Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, she has
talked, within the last few weeks, with
His Royal Highness Edward VII, King
of Great Britain and Ireland, Emperor
of India, ETC.; Kaiser William II, and
various members of his family, and the
leading nobility of both England and
Germany, to say nothing of French men
and women and others with noble and
princely handles to their names. And
President FSllieres, of France; renowned
statesmen, diff lomats, generals, adnirals,
indeed, most of the men big in the gov
erning of Great Britain, France and Ger
many-with all these she has exchanged
greetings, and from all received the at
tentions that Europe generally reserves
for persons of princely rank. OF course,
no sane-minded American has objected
to this he has been secretly amused and
proud in turn, and by it all once more
learned that even enlightened European
minds are incapable of grasping the
principles of his democratic form of gov
eminent. "Princess Alice" indeed! In
truth. Just plain Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth, of Cincinnati, Ohio. and Wash
ineton, and most lovable and ikeable as
such!
HoNEYMooNING EXTRAORDINARY.
Looking back on it, Mrs. Longworth's
tour in the old world has partaken more
of the characteristics of triumphal pro- !

her YANKEE DAY ABROAD.

But there was one day at least that
Mrs. Longworth and her husband spent
exclusively with fellow Americans. That
was Americas natal day. And how the
celebrating Yankees cheered the daugh-
ter of the President, and with what pa
triotic enthusiasm did she salute the
Stars and Stripes and applaud the healthy
Yankee sentiments of the speakersl The
royal dinner given by Ambassador Reid
was truly gorgeous affair, and cost
him, the gossips say, his ambassadorial
salary for year. But which was more
to the inward satisfaction of Mrs. Nicho-
las Longworth- feast spread for her
and crowned head, or the far simpler
affair at which the birth of her native
land was 6ttingly celebrated?
The reason for the Longworths' visit

the title line that they met-is it not to

cession than a honeymoon trip. She rode
from Plymouth to the British capital in
the royal carriage. At the dinner given
in her honor by Ambassador and Mrs.
Reid, King Edward set all precedent
aside and paid Mrs. Longworth the deli
cate compliment of requesting that she
be seated at the table in the place of
honor-that is, at his left. Thus it came
about that one whose only title is that
of plain, everyday Mrs, took rank over
the whole of Britain's proud nobility.
When the dinner was over, and the ia
dies left the table. it was King Edward
himself who accompanied Mrs. Long
worth to the door, and as she passed
through it, bowed in the most courtly
fashion.
During Ascot week, the King took
particular pains to honor the Long
royal enclosure and having them as his
guests of honor at luncheon in the
Kings pavilion. 1t is a coveted honor to
be invited into the enclosure, and to be
asked to take luncheon with the King
in his pavilion would serve TO put few
members of England nobility in the sew
enth heaven.
How did Mrs Longworth take these
honors? Like true American, as was
to be expected. The English newspaper
writers noted, with evident mild wonder,
that she was thoroughly at ease, una
Dashed, and absolutely democratic in the
presence of their August monarch and
the proudest of his mobiles. They re-
corded that when she courtesied to the
King on being introduced, she did so
without the least suggestion of servility;
and the ease with which she entered into
the conversation with His Majesty as
soon as they we're seated at table is still
food for thought in Merrie England,
which holds more than one noble of an
cient lineage who shows the embarrass-
ment of servility when it chances that it
is "up to him to speak with his king.
London was undeniably favorably i'm
pressed with its young and charming
guest.
In the same wholesome democratic
spirit Mrs. Longworth was presented to
and paid a visit to the Kaiser at his very
earnest solicitation. This was at Kiel,
while the regatta, which lies close to the
War Lords heart, was at its height.
One of the FIRST things that Mrs Long Ali
worth did after the presentation was to IA
thank the Kaiser personally for the gold poi
bracelet set with diamonds and his por- ne,
trait which he had presented to her the
through his brother, Prince Henry, at the go,
time the yacht Meteor was launched VIII
For five days the Longworths were mol
guests of the Kaiser, talking with him era
daily. He pointed out to Mrs. Long sen
worth the yacht that he had named '
Alice Roosevelt" sometime after the SAT
of the Meteor When Miss wit

CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH
Many of the Packing Houses of Mas

Criticism"

Boston, July 21.-As a supplement
to his recent strong report on canned
meats DR.. Charles Harrington, secre-
tary of the Massachusetts state board
of health, has issued a report on the
slaughter houses, packing establish
ments and sausage factories of this
state. The report says in part:
''All of the large establishments and
number of small slaughter houses,
the latter chiefly in the country dis
tricts have been examined. The larger
plants and Il number of the small ones
are beyond criticism. The great ma
jority, however, of the small slaughter
houses examined in the rural districts
are kept in anything but a sanitary
condition"

CROP REPORTS ARE GOOD
Results Is That There Is a Growth or
Confidence in the World
of Trade.

New York, July Pr. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Exceptionally encouraging reports for
this time of the year are received re-
garding trade, industry and transporta-
tion, but there is no response in the
market for securities. The best news
of the past week comes from agri-
cultural sections, where progress is full
ly maintained, harvesting of winter
wheat promising larger yield than
expected, and of good quality, while
corn and oats exceed anticipations.
AS results on the farms become as
sured there is growth of confidence
that brings out large orders for fall
and winter delivery of all staples.

the United States, against 1913 last
year, and % in Canada, compared with

TROUBLE FOR PRESIDENT DIAz
Uprising Threatened in Sonora to
Drive Out the .'Gringoes."

Drive Out the ''GringOes."
Ell Paso, Tex. July 21.-Rafael Ysa-
bel, governor of Sonora Mex, passed
through El Paso en- route to the City
Of Mexico to consult with President
Diaz and prepare for a threatened up
rising in that state on Sept. 16. Presi-
dent DiaZ is calling ell his governors
into conference. Considerable trouble
is feared in Sonora. as Cananea is To-
Gated in that state, and is said to be
a revolutionary hot-bed.
Laredo, Tex, July 21.-For some
time past rumors have been rife in
almost all the large cities in Mexico
which may portend anything, from
great strike of the laboring element to
revolution against the administration
Of President DiaZ. Opinion is divided
as to what the results will be, but
enough credence is placed in the ru-
mors to cause much uneasiness, and
steps will be taken to meet any con-
tingency which may arise. Circulars
have been posted in oAInterey, Saltil-
10, San Luis Potosi and other large
cities throughout the republic warning
all foreigners to leave the country be-
fore the 10th of September, the indie
pendence day of the republic.
The circular says in substance: I'VE
desire Mexico for the Mexicans, and
warn all foreigners that if they do not
leave the country by the 10th of Sep
tember they viii be driven into the
sea- Continuing. the circular says:
"The principal industries and business
of the republic are in the hands Of
foreigners, principally Americans. The
railroads, although they apparently
belong to the nation, are the exclusive
property of Americans; the Americans
direct them.
The mining industry is largely con-
trolled by the foreign element. and our
nation, heretofore independent is be
ing made the servant of foreign cap
ital. We are on the border of an abyss
and great catastrophe menaces US
unless we force all foreigners out of
the country and give our own people a
chance"

"If you are going to be a man." the
baboon interrupted, you must walk
on your hind legs"
And so Mr.. Elephant wabbled around
on his hind legs until he was about

Goodness mer' he exclaimed. This
is tiresome. What does a man do when
he is tired?"
"Why, he sits down." said the
baboon.
So Mr.. Elephant sat down to rest,
but he was not satisfied.
1T is almost as tiresome sitting
down as standing up" said Mr.. Ele-
phant. what does a man do when he
gets tired sitting down doing nothing?"
HE takes a smoke" said the baboon.
Then the elephant get a pipe and to-
bacco and tried to smoke, but he made
wonderful fizzle Of it,
He got smoke in his eyes, in his nose
and his throat and he was in a pretty
predicament

Gold.

The first mention which we have of
gold is in the eleventh verse of the
second chapter of Genesis, or, in other
words, 1904 years before Christ. Gold
was used as money by the ancient
Egyptians at very early date. Herod-
otus tells that the invention Of the
coinage of gold belongs to Lydia. about
80 B. c. Authorities conflict about
the first coinage of gold. Some say it
was sfiletus and some the Persians.
