His Annette Is Truly Royal.

King Carlos of Portugal is the lar
gest eater among the royal families of
the world. Eating is more important
matter to him than any affair of state.
On the occasion of his recent visit to
King Edward he was asked what fea-
ture of his English entertainment had
pleased him most.
1.-The roast beef" said the king.
"And after that. your majesty?" was
inquired.
'More roast beef" declared Carlos,
with gusto.
One afternoon it was down on the
programme that he should review the
army. The soldiers were in place, the
generals in gorgeous uniforms at their
heads, but no king. One hour, two
hours passed. but still no king An
official was sent to search for Carlos.
He found him at table.
''The army awaits your majesty" an
nounced the official.
''Let the army wait until have fin
ished this glorious lunch,' replied the
king, and wait the army did until he
had eaten three more pheasants stuffed
with truff1es.
Carlos weighs more than 300 pounds.
He has an annual allowance of $500,
600, but never fails to overdraw it,
most of the money going for food and
drink, the rest on the races.-London

WouIdbe Groom Said He Would Take

Worcester, Mass, Sept. 5.-George

riage service When he tried to en-
force them at his own wedding the
Rev. O. w. Hutchinson. pastor of the
Methodist church, called off the cere-

that was to be from his house.
The question which struck Rice
was: do you take this woman to be
your lawful welded wife," Rice re-
piled: "Ill take a chance and do ths
best I can He would make no other
answer.
Rice called at the home of Mr.
Hutchinson with Miss Clara Annie
Wood, aged thirty two, whom he said
he wanted to marry.
Mr.. Hutchinson tells the story thus ::
81 asked: DO you wish to be mar
ried?' What do you suppose I am
here for?' replied the man. | ar
ranged Mr.. Rice and Miss Wood as
they should stand When I reached
the vital question: DO you take this
woman to be your lawful welded
wife, the trouble began. When he an
swered he'd take a chance l told him
that would not do. The witnesses
with the couple tried to get Rice to
answer properly, and Miss Wood her
self urged him to go ahead, as it would
be all over in a minute. Then | told
them l would not marry them and they

The Worlds Rubber.

Rubber was introduced into Ceylon
in 1876. The trees growing from the
seed then planted produced seed in
1882. In 1888 the first rubber was OBJ
tanned, but in very small quantity.
The planting went on slowly until
1902. 1t is estimated that there are at
the present time 1O4, 600 acres of land
in Ceylon planted with rubber trees,
almost solely of the Para variety. In
addition, there are from $4,000 to 60,
600 acres on the Malay peninsula,
practically all Of the Para variety.
The rubber plantations of Mexico
amount to about 100000 acres, contain
ing about 100000 trees. There are,
therefore, at the present time about
275,000 acres planted in rubber, which
should eventually yield about 10000
tons yearly-about one-quarter of the
worlds probable supply.

STATE BANKS SUCCESS.
Every Institution Has So Fal

NOT ONE CENT YET LOST,
Commissioner Love, Who Has Taken
Charge of His Office, States That
the Interests of Depositors Are to
Be Closely Safesuarded.

Austin, Sept 5.-The new commits.
sioper of insurance, Hon. Thomas B.
Love, has started his department by
announcing a new regulation relative
to the organization of state banks, he
being ex-officio commissioner of bank
ing. The new regulation is that wher-
ever practicable there shall be an ex.
animation of a new state bank at the
time it's doors are opened. There will
be a state bank examiner on hand
when the bank is ready to begin bust
ness, and that official will see that the
bank starts right, and is safe to the
public in the very beginning.
The three state bank examiners also
held consultation with the new com
missioner, together with the banking
clerk, Charles B. Johnson. The three
examiners are Edwin Hobby. W. G.
Wilkens and w. q. Hayes. The work
was mapped out for the department I'M

state banks in Texas. None will be
permitted to continue who are not

cure.
It is fact that out of the 275 state
banks doing business in Texas, not
one has failed or caused depositors tc
lose one cent. The summary or tab
ulated statement of the banks will be
ready near the middle of the month
The call was made on Aug. II for the
condition of the banks at the close Of
business Aug. IA, and it usually takes
month to hear from all the banks and
tabulate the statements.

WHAT DEATH IS.
Merely a Change Of Energy and Not
AnnihiIation.

merely SVdnSe Oi GuSfSy dto wv
AnnihiIation.
What we call death is not annihila-
ton; it is only a change Of energy.
Decay is simply the breaking up of
life into new and more multiplied
forms Of life.
The latest science recognizes at least
nine different forms Of energy into
which single force may pass and re-
pass without diminution or loss. That,
of course. is the great discovery of
modern science, that energy may be
transformed from one form into an
other, may be transferred from one
body to another, but cannot be de-
strOyed.
Not Immediately was the bearing Of
this scientific law on the doctrine Of
Immortality recognized. And yet, as
the mind. adjusted itself to the almost
protean forms of energy, 1t became ap-
parent that life itself. which is the
highest form of energy we know, must
inevitably become subject to this law.
Death, when it touches a human life,
is not destruction of energy; it is sim
ply a change through which life passes
into some new form Of activity.
Your candle, for instance, burns
down to the socket and after flicker
or two goes out. To the eye of sense
that is the end of your candle, and it
has been used over and over again as
the image of death. But according
to the law of the conservation of ener-
gy the light and heat Of that candle
are not lost They have passed into
other forms of energy more subtle, but
not less real.
A log is slowly consumed upon the
hearth until nothing remains but a
heap Of filmy ash, but the light and
energies of that log are not lost. The
life which was in the tree deposited in
that log certain forces, and the fire
has liberated these forces in other
modes Of activity. The whole uni
verse is vast area of ceaseless, indie
structible energy, of which life is the
highest type.
Within the last half dozen years
science has emphasized still another
fact-namely, that the more powerful
force is the less visible it is to hui
man sight, the less susceptible Of rec
ognition. The energy of radium, for
example, is so tremendous that the
hundredth part of a grain Of radium
dropped into its own weight Of water
will change the temperature of that
water from the freezing point to the
boiling point in single hour.
1t is of course admitted that this
does not prove the Immortality of the
individual soul by any means, but it
does prove the indestructibility of life
Religion has surely gained a magnifi-
cent trophy from science when science
tells her that life is an indestructible
element in the universe.-North Ameri-

NOEL IS FOR PROHIBITION,
Has Been One of Its Leading
Advocates.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. Sc. T. Noels
nomination by the Democrats for gov
ernor not only means his election, but
that Mississippi is to take H. lace
in the ranks of prohibition states.
The strongest plank in Noel's plat
form favored statutory prohibition,
and the issue will be settled at the
next session of the legislature.
While serving as state senator Mr..
Noel obtained the passage of a local
option law, under the terms of which
saloons have been voted out of more
than three-fourths of the counties of
Mississippi.
Among the other pledges of the next
governor are more rigid regulation of
common carriers, reforms in the dis
tribution of the common school fund,
limited suffrage for women to insure
white supremacy at elections, an cleo
tive judiciary and the elimination OF
abuses of the primary system.
The primary of Aug. % ended a cam
paign which has stirred Mississippi
for two years. Mr.. Noel, the author OF
the primary law, barely won victory
over his youthful opponent, Earl Brew,
er, who made remarkable race on an
anti-corporation platform. Noel's ma.
jority was barely 1000 out of vote OF
10000.
Four years ago Noel ran for gov
ernor against James X. Vardaman and
A. p Grips, being dropped from the
second primary by only small mar
gin. Soon afterward he began cam.
