Open Sesame.
(Harner's Weekly


A we'll known New Yorker who
spends good part of his time in Paris
relates how he once met q fellow coun-
trymen who invariably sported a huge
red badge bearing the legend Of the
national republican committee.
After time the New Workers. cur
iosity got the better Of him, and he
asked his fellow countrynan why he
was displaying such an emblem to the
foreigners.
Its just this way cheerfully ex-
planned the other. zone day at one OF
the big hotels, I noticed a number Of
chaps who got, the best of me at all
times. bethought me that 1t would be
a good idea to consult one OF the wait
ers as to the reason. incidentally, I
tipped him.
"A great light burst upon me when
was politely informed by the waiter
that one of the gentlemen Indicated
wore the Legion of Honor. that the
other sported the insignia of the Order
of the Star Of India, and that the third
was the proud possessor Of the Order
OF st. Michael and st. George. Gentle
men wearing these and other orders,
added the waiter, were Invariably CIV
en- the utmost consideration.
at didn't take me long to drop in
line j dug up down into my trunk and
pulled out the badge you now see
adjoining my manly chest. ! put 1t on
and have worn 1t ever since. OF course
none Of our French friends has the
least idea what it represents, but it's
a decoration, and that goes with them.
Since donned it nothing has been too
good for me.n

STRICT ADHERENr OF TRUTH

Fathers Liftl-"Thrss Years 1hsater
/ Going struck Ne Down Like verisst
Wsaklina," lie Writes In Now Book.


Bernard Shaw, the great English
dramatist, is shining IN the critics
glory now, says London cable dis
patch to the ct. Louis Post-Dispatch.
His views on dramatic art and acting
are being widely discussed, and, al
though he says things which hurt the
admirers Of some dramatists and &C
tors, he is read with intense interest.
He attributes his frankness IN Judg-
ing plays and actors to his habit Of
telling the truth. He says IL his own
fathers life depended on favorable mo-
tees from the critic and II he himself
was to write the criticisms he would
orphan himself rather than speak IA
vorably Of a work which did not de-
serve 1t. The two volumes in which
he expresses his views as an introduc-
ton to reprinted criticisms contain wit,
humor, satire, eafhest thought, and are
at times dognlatic. In the preface he
tells Of the effect three years Of the
ater going as dramatic critic had on
him. Here are his own words:

TRIBUTE TO THE NEGRO.

One deserved tribute was paid to
the negro recently by Justice Brewer,
when he said:
And while the colored brothers
may be too fond of the chicken coop
and the watermelon patch, they are
firm believers in social order. You
will find no Johann Most, Emma Gold
man, Czolgosz or Guiteau among
them. In the struggle which may be
expected to come between order and
anarchy, may it not be that these
people, grateful to the nation for
their liberty and to the good people
of the land for their uplifting knowl-
edge purity and social standing, prove
| themselves a mighty force, UNFOLDING
law, order and the supremacy OF
the nation?'
Whatever crimes the negro may
be guilty of, he usually takes his
punishment philosophically. He real
ICES that for every Wrongdolng there
is a penalty, and thinks only of
lodging it.
1t is conceded that the South is
the bulwark of the nation from in
ternal foes and among the colored
race the propaganda of anarchy finds
no response.
Casual readers do not stop to con-
slider that it is only a very small
per cent of the negro population
which constitutes the peril. In any
Southern town can be seen on the
streets colored men of means whose
interests are identical with that of
the white man in preserving the ex-
isting order.
1t would be quite turn of the
wheel, if fifty years after their free
dom, the negroes should be an inte-
grail part in the preservation of the
Union which they came no near dis
rupting, unwilling though their part
may have been.

AUTHOR POSED AS
SERVANT: WAS FIRED
SOuqht MateaiaI For New
Novel

NEW YORK, October 18.-(Spec-
iaD-After being a servant for sew
eral weeks at the Breakers, the
Newport home of Mrs. Vanderbilt,
Upton Sinclair has returned to his
home at Mount Holly, n. j., according
to story printed in morning pa
per.
The author of "the Jungle" is at
work on new novel, it is said, and
required an intimate knowledge of
certain phases of high social life.
Not being on the calling list of
many of the most exclusive New
port residents, he is said to have en-
listed as a steward on board Howard
Gould's yacht Niagara. When the
vessel was at Newport, he resigned,
and secured service through an en-
ployment agency, at The Breakers.
For two weeks he is reported to
have passed ices and opened front
doors for the rich, besides performing
many other household duties.
While serving as mental, it was
Sinclair's custom, according to the
information from Newport, to make
copious notes of his observations in
a memorandum before retiring An
other servant who had been long in
the Vanderbilt service, spied on this
note book, and reported to his mis-
tress.
The result was that Sinclair was
instantly dismissed and some say
he was literally kicked from The
Breakers. But he held on to the note
book, and at his home he said he had
obtained sufficient material any way,
and was on the point of giving up his
job

STATUE OF LAFAYETTE
UNVEILED in PARIS
School Chi O el Ct United
States HELPED.

PARIS, October 1S.-(SpeciaD-
The great Bartlett statue of Lafayette
the gift of the government and
school children of the United States
to France, will be unveiled on Louvre
square tomorrow morning. Alex
ander H. Revell, as president of the
Lafayette Memorial association, will
make the presentation speech, replied
to by President Fallieros. The Am
erican ambassador and other distin-
guished representatives of both the
American and French governments
will participate in the exercises.
The statue is four and a half me-
tres high and is mounted on a beau
tiful pedestal occupying a prominent
place on Louvre square. 1t repre-
sents Lafayette at the age of 10, when
he joined Washington's army. The
youthful figure, mounted on a charg-
ing steed, is clad in the colonial uni
form and holds a sword aloft. The
face is highly expressive, and fairly
glows with enthusiasm out of its
mask of bronze Tomorrow was cho-
sen for the unwilling because of the
face that it is the anniversary of the
collection of contributions of the Am
erican school children, who furnish
ed the funds for the statue.

ROOSEVELT COULDN'T
BREAK SOLID SOUTH
Generous Reception Has
Been Misunderstood.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 1S
(SpeciaD Senator j. B. Frazier
characterizes as entirely unwarrant-
ed in fact the statement that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would break the solid
South should he consent to be
candidate for a third term. He
said:
President Roosevelt as opposed to
Mr.. Bryan would not, in my opinion
get as many votes in the South as
he did in 1904, and l know he would
not carry the State of Missouri, which
voted for him in the last Presidential
election. Maryland is of course doubt
full for either party land l would not
attempt to say what the result would
be there
Speaking Of the recent visit of the
President to the South, Senator Fra
zier said:
This generous reception should
not be misunderstood The people
of my State are cordial in their ma
ture and would give a warm welcome
to any President, who was not per-
sonally obnoxious to them, but the fact
that we gave President Roosevelt
hearty welcome is not to be taken as
an indication that Tennessee or any
other Southern State would cast its
vote for him. Secretary Taft is
popular in Tennessee, to which he
used to come when a judge, but the
State would not be for him or any
other Republican in a Presidential
contest"

UNIVERSALISTS IN
BIENNIAL SESSION

NEW YORK, October 18.-(SpeciaD
-Universalists from all over the
country are in New York today in at
tendance at the biennial session of
the general convention of the denomi-
nation. A big meeting Of laymen and
a Woman's missionary meeting will
report of the secretary shows that the
denomination has invested a fund of
100000, the income of which is used
to support home and foreign missions.
Among other reports received was
highly favorable one from the Jap
anese mission, which was establish
ed fifteen years ago. The Universal
list faith has proved particularly at
tractive to the upper class and edu-
Gated Japanese, and the denomina-
ton is growing by leaps and bounds
in the fiowery kingdom.
One of the most interesting sub
jects to be considered although no
definite action is expected, is that of
merging of all liberal faiths, includ-
ing the Universalists and Unitarians.
If Adam had lived until today and
saved ten dollars a day every day in

But Rockefeller can pay it out of
his pocket money. Rockefeller is a
thriftier financier than Adam was.
