HIS PEACEFUL EXPRESSION.
How Confirmed Poker Player Looked
 After Death.

From the Chicago News
 q shall never forget" said the Rev. Dr. J. Everlst Cathell, rector of St. Pauls Episcopal church in Des Moines, 'an experience I once had in Richmond, Ind, during my ministry there.
 "A man who kept an oyster and re- freshment room (called the chapel, be- cause it was always open on Sunday was the husband of brilliant woman whose literary gifts are still one of the things to which eastern Indiana points with pride. The husbands ostensible business was in reality but side line, however, as he made a speciality of game known-among the laity-as polk CT. His place was a rendezvous for good sized following of gamesters, and had become, as such notorious.
 Tn the course of time James the hus- band, met with an accident in which one of his ankles was bruised and lacerated to such an extent that blood poisoning re- suited. After week or so of terrible suffering he died. As pastor of the fam fly I was, of course, especially interested In their affiction but circumstances made 1t impossible for me to be present and of ficiate at the obsequies, as I should have liked to do under the distressing condi- tions. I had to be at Indianapolis, at tending a diocesan convention on the day of the funeral. I delegated to my as- sstant, a splendid old man, the duty or conducting the church rites in my stead.
 "On my return from Indianapolis next day I called upon the widow and found her pretty badly indisposed. She lay on the couch in considerable distress, (and talked with great difficulty. I said to her:
 You don't know how deeply I regret that I could not be present with you in your sorrow and perform such little of fees as lay in my power toward lessen ing your suffering and making your grief easier to bear. l hope, however-and feel quite sure-the services of my assistant were all that could have been desired un- der the said circumstances
 "'Oh, Dr. Cathell,' she said, I am in- deed sorry you could not have been pres ent It would have been a comfort to have you. But all was done that might be done. The day was absolutely perfect the sky a hawless turquoise, the sun shine liquid gold. the grass velvet emer- aid. the air balm itself; that dear old man with his kindly, gentle voice read the service divinely, and everywhere everywhere were James frinds. It seemed that everyone was there. I had never known there were so many who would care to follow him to his last resting place.
 |" But, most beautiful of all.' she con- tinued reaching out her hand and laying it on mine, was the look on the poor. dead face It was a look of perfect peace and rest To know that, after all his suffering. he could assume again such an expression was great and blessed satis faction to me. Why, do you know she continued. brightening up, I have seen exactly that look on his face whom he held four aces? F"

Society and the Home.
rpm Harner,s Razar


 It is a singular thing that to stand on ones own right, in which 1t would ap- near that there ought to be certain iustice seems almost always. in fact, to be a very narrowing process, death dealing to any fine enlightenment. Tho snecial structure itself rests on the con- sideration of the rights of others, and all social life in the home rests on 1t. Noh- ing is in itself good for anything except in the good that we get out or II, so that the most beautifully furnished house, the mostly finely cultured people. may not make for anything vital. anything that stimulates the imagination or the heart or the intellect they may not give any Of the spiritual comfort which Is informed with heart blessing interest No one who goes to such a house gets anything from 1t. as a household but food and drink and comfortable chairs. and outside conversa- tion There is nothing more to gfve-you could get the same in a club or a hired drawing room Yet the smallest living room may have that aspect of home life in if which shows It to be the real thing and power-a power because the action and retro-action of intimate and sympa- the;ic and unselfish interest among the members of a family generate some spirf- tual thing which they cannot keep 10 themselves-which is greater than them- selves.

KOREANS KICK AT HAGUE CONFERENCE Not Invited to Send Peace
 Delegates HOSTILITlES ARE DISCUSSED President Nelldotf Officially Explains Positions on American Proposi- ton on Contraband
 of War,
 
HOSTILITlES ARE DISCUSSED

The Hague, June 29.-Fearing that a bad impression might result from his starc- ment yesterday regarding the American proposition on the exemption of private property except contraband from capture at sea, President Nelidoff today issued an official explanation. In this he said that he merely questioned whether the prin- ciple involved of the mviolabiity of prl- Vate property at sea will be for or against the interests of peace when the close con- nection between commercial interests is taken into consideration. If the latter are injured by war they will act as a brake against armed conflicts, while if they jo no fear any injury they may even profit by war.
 M. Neliodoff wished to have 1t under stood that he had not expressed posi- tive opinion.
 A Korean deputation has arrived here to make a formal protest against Korea not being invited to send delegates to the peace conference and against the alleged violation of the Korean sovereignty by Japan. The deputation applied 10 NJ. Ne lidoff for an audience, which was refused
 
 to interfere in such questions Moreover, he added. the matter did not come within his province. the government of the Meth erlands having issued the invitation. The deputation will now apply to the gov ernment here,
 The subcommittee on the duties of neu- tral powers in times of war met this aft ernoon, M. Asser presiding, to discuss the opening of hostilities and the rights and duties of neutrals
 The whole sesison of the subcommittee was devoted to a discussion of a set of six questions on the opening of hostlities, which the delegates must answer at later meetings as follows: l. Is an international understanding re- garding the opening of hostiities desir- able?.
 9. Must the opening of hostilites be pre- ceded by declaration of war or some equivalent act?
 3. Must there be a delay between this act and the opening of hostilities?
 4. Must the neutral powers be notified of declaration of war?
 ,. What should happen if the above regulations are not observed?
 6. Where, in diplomatic form, must his understanding be embodied.
 Argentina today presented the follow ing declaration regarding arbitration
 '"rhe second peace conference eX- pressed the desire that the sovereign heads of governments, of this and scen- tfic bodies of the countries, which ad- hered to the convention providing for the peaceful adjustment of interest conflicts, shall not act as arbiter of disputes among the signatory powers unless these powers declare they have been unable to agree on formation of an arbitration tribunal from among the members of the perma- nent arbitration tribunal at The Hague"

 That which some of us who are poor do not find easy is this: To feel, we may be of use, or that itss worth while to pray to be made so when. in reality. we have so little to offer to friend or ac- quaintance. Some of us have to keep saying to ourselves: Every one has something to give. There's a way for each to be usefal.' For instance. l may be able to make q better buttonhole than you, but you may be able to write bet ter letter. \ may know more about canary birds. you about gardening You may know best what a child needs with croup, ] may know the best way of man. aging bookworms. These things. then being so, why should l not be useful to you about buttonholes canary birds and bookworms? You certainly are of great use to me about letters, gardening and the cure of croup.
