ART OF KEEPING YOUNG.
Preservation Of Youth Largely Matter
of Temperament.

Everybody realizes that there is an
art in keeping young, but only few
people know that it does not require
an inborn talent. They will say to
you, "Oh, of course, Mrs. Smith looks
young-doesnt she come of family
who stay young?"-just as If the art
of keeping young were something that
could be inherited.
1t is something that every woman
desires, of course, both for the sake OF
gratifying her vanity and of preserv-
ing her health. She knows that IL
she can solve the secret she will not
only enjoy life and the reflection her
mirror throws back to her, but that
she will be source of envy to her
less fortunate sisters, and what wom-
an did not enjoy the latter sensation
most keenly?
l don't know whether you are one
of the unfortunates, but If you are,
you may cheer up right away, for 1t
can be done. knew a woman once
who, although past 60, had not a gray
hair in her head, who had eyes as
bright as girl, and who walked with
the same springy, elastic gait that her
daughter had. Her skin was as
smooth and as pink as baby's, and
her arms and hands as rounded and
as dimpled as her granddaughter's.
Her throat was little wrinllled, but
when she was dressed for the street
you would have sworn she was not
day over 35.
In her case l think the secret was
that she had a trick of throwing or
trouble, and of always looking on the
bright side of things. She had had
more than her share of trouble, too.
for she had lost five children, and two
of the remaining four had not turned
out we'll. Besides that, her husband
had failed in business, thus reducing
parative poverty.
But she kept her bright eyes and
her girlish smile, her pink skin and
her brown hair to the very last. In
stead of reckoning up how much
trouble she had, and how badly fate
had treated her, she counted up her
blessings, and noted how much more
harshly fate had treated her neigh
bors, says writer in the Los An,
geles Herald. She sympathized with
other peoples troubles rather than
her own, and thus kept her mind Sc
busy that she had no time for self
pity. You may note right here that
self-pity Is one of the greatest enc
mics to youth that was ever known.
Another is worry. Now, worry Is
ridiculous on the very face of it, for II
was never known to control nor to re
veal the future yet, and as it cannot
do either of these things, what is the
;; use of letting it spoil your complex
ion?

lice we had become simply company
sso-and-so, of such ana such num-
bered regiment, of such and such
state volunteers, but we never forgot
our friend at home, and surely he
never forgot us, and at Christmas time
he used to see that our company got
that box.

nounce in the home papers that on

Washlnaton,s Wealth.

Whether Washington can be put
into the envied category of million
aires no one can assert positively.
According to the late Paul Leicester
Ford whose work. "The True George
Washington" has received wide
recognition, "the father of his coun-
try" was worth $53O,O0O. This fortune
did not include his wife's property, but

writings and orations that would put
us beyond criticism explode against
some very hard facts and let out upon

greatness and glory are closer to the

But of one thing we are persuaded,
and that is that the virtues of our
country over-balance it's faults.
There are more angels than devils
among us.
The devils are making the most
noise, but the angels are doing the
most work. The man who believes
that righteousness is losing its grip
upon this nation is a woefully mis-
taken man. / heard a speaker the

HAGUE CONFERENCE
DELEGATES ARE ARRIVING FOR
 THE ASSEMBLY,.
Nc Developments Are Expected Until the Delegates Get Their Work Under Way-JeaIousies Are
 Discussed.

The Hague, June 13-With the names of the delegates of half a dozen of the smaller states still missing. the list of delegates to the Peace Conference and attaches on file with the Dutch for eign office this evening numbers 199.
 Although no actual new developments are anticipated until the conference gets under way and the powers begin to show their hands, it is increasingly apparent from the prevailing gossip that the chief interest if not the chief importance of the conference will re- voIve about the jealousy and antagon ism between Great Britain and Ger many and there are plenty of pessim- ists who predict an open clash which will jeopardize if not wreck the work that the conference meets to perform.
 This afternoon a number of coun- tries deposited formally the,.' adher- ences to the findings of the convention of 1899, in order to make themselves eligible and tomorrow the plenipoten- tiaries which participated In the first conference will sign a protocol admit ting the news corners. This a mere formality as the parties to the original conventions already have agreed to re- ceive the countries invited to this years conference and the ceremony will be very informal.

ent time there has been no positive testimony concerning the Identity of the mob, and 1t is understood that the defense has testimony that will refute the statements already made on the stand concerning the alleged partici- pants in the mob.
 It is understood that the attorneys for Captain shipp will introduce men of the highest standing in the commit nity to show that the feeling had died down some time before the lynching and that the mob came as great sur prise to the people generally.
 There will be number of witnesses introduced by the attorneys for al- legged members of the mob whose names have been brought into the testimony. There have been only few names mentioned as yet and unless Franklin supplies something additional there will not be a large amount of evidence from this quarter.

NO TRACE OF YOUTH
POLICE UNABLE TO FINE WALTER
 LAMANA.
Italian Element of New Orleans is wrought to High Tension over Kidnapping of the
 Young Boy.

New Orleans. La.. Juno fa.--Walter Lamana was not found today. although in search for his kidnappers hundreds of Italian homes were raided in New Orleans and surrounding towns. Bands of angry Italians made many of these searches in the city tonight. until the police began making arrests as . pre- caution. The usual threats of lynch ing the Kidnapper if he is caught have been made, but the police and the lead ing commercial bodies of the city who have lent their support to the move ment to stamp out Italian disorder, ap- parently have the situation under easy control.
 Two raids. organized by the police today, failed of result Harveys Ca- nal, a few miles from the city. was practically under siege for several hours while police and deputies search ed about 200 Italian homes. Persons who passed the sheriff's men had to prove their Identity. The search was watched by Walter Lamanas's father. and by the chairman of the commit tee of wealthy Italians who organized last night to rio New Orleans nf Black Hand and sirlsias societies. in @ti.ss search two Italians were arrested. one of which was quickly released. The other was held as a suspicious person. The police had been informed by letI ter that the lost boy might be in Har- vey's Canal neighborhood.

Lamana was re- ported to have received a. letter ap- pointing a rendezvous for ransoming his boy. Bogalusa is a lumber town which has had a mushroom growth within the past few months, and many Italians have been attracted there. The detectives arrested Thomas Garado, but announced that they had found no trace of the missing boy.
 Shortly after midnight the polie had rounded up seven suspects. the last two being brought in from Kenner La, from which place the first demand for ransom came.

 BLIND MAN FOR SENATE

Oklahoma City, Ok. June 1S.-oh- cial returns from the Democratic pri- maries received here this afternoon from forty-nine out of the seventy five counties give T. P. Gore of Law ton, the blind candidate for United States Senator majority of 1,so0 over Rolf Hoffman.

 Judge Bunne's Charge.
 It was the sentiment equally ex- where the opposing lawyers sat, that and as nicely balanced in the scales of judicial indifference as a judges charge may be, Judge Dunne in de- fining to the jury what the law means by threat in connection with ex- tortion said 1t must be such a threat as would naturally cause man of reasonably firm mind to give up his property in fear. He cautioned that a threat in extortion need not be verbal or direct.
 It might be unspoken and merely irn- 'p1led- and -Asme fully within the mean ing of the law. He charged that even If Schmitz received part of the money paid to Ruef by the French restaurants but did not know at the time of re- ceiving 1t that 1t had been paid under threat, the defendant, must be acquit- ted. He charged that the Mayor had the right to request Police commis- sioner Reagan to hold up licenses of the French restaurant men for any reason except that of extortion of money from them and if the jury found that he was actuated by any motive other than that. 1t must acquit him.
