CARLOS RAISED THE WIND.
Broke in the Morning He Had Lobster

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Carlos Ribera and me once went broke in Atlantic City, said the sailor. Broke in the morning, we had enough by noon for a champagne lunch with lobster and sparrowgrass. Carlos turned the trick-In tell you how-
 He took our last dime and bought ten little sand shoVels. of tin. He stuck the shovels in his pocket and walked along the beach till he came to group of old Philadelphia millionaires set on camp stools under an umbrella tent on the edge of the sea- Carlos Ribera forced wild glitter into his eyes, and, waltzin' up to them, he says:
 Gents, I'm dead man. Last night I was murdered. Who done 1t? Who knows? Gents, will you help poor un- buried corpse to find his murderer?''
 Yes, yes, says the millionaires. They exchanged anxious look. Who do you think done it?' they asked.
 The Wright brothers says Carlos.
 Them 6yin' machine chaps?'
 The same,' Carlos replied. Oh, gents, do you know the black-hearted villains? Can you locate em?
 ''One of the millionaires rig from his stool. The rest too, rig.
 Why, says the hrst millionaire, them Wright boys is up to my hotel. I'll have them landed in jail before lunch con. You jest walt here, my man
 Yes, you jest wait here says the others.
 But Carlos detained them as they was hastenin' away.
 Hold on, gentS,' he says, Don't go yet. I want you to promise to dig my grave for me-
 They all promised.
 Then Carlos took out his shovels.
 Do 1t with these here gold shovels,' he says. T must insist on that His eyes now glittered wild indeed Buy the gold shovels from the corpse, pay for them in gold or it's equivalent, then find the murderers and dig the grave. Is it agreed?
 They looked about There was no help in sight. Carlos picked his teeth with his case knife, careless like. They rained gold and notes on him, took the shovels, and made off They had a relieved air as if they had just been saved from soul-rackin' peril
 "All that mornin' the cops was search in the beach and boardwalk for a dan gerous maniac what thought he was dead, but Carlos and me set in ventnor calf surrounded with lobster and cham pagne."

A Wife, in Harper's Bazaar.
 No man yet was ever made more ten der by having tenderness demanded of him; no man yet was ever cried into low ing his wife more. l am willing to ad- init that men are as faulty creatures as small things, often blind, and that they may easily be exasperated into small brutalities of speech. If woman re- frains from exacting devotion, and is unswervingly kind and unselfsh, hus- band who has any affection for his wife at all can be left to look out for doing his share. He will look out for it any way; no one else can make him. Nei- there tears nor entreaties will wiring from him those small kindnesses and attentions so dear to women.

POLICY IF PEACE
 PURSUED BY JAPAN New Premier Outlines Policies
 of Government FINANCES TO BE ARRAN GED Marquis Katsura Says That Japars Prime Object Is To Cultivate and
 Maintain Good Relations
 With All Powers.
FINANCES TO BE ARRAN GED

Tokio, July 17.-Marquis Katsura, the new premier and minister of finance of Japan, today granted an exclusive inter view to the Associated Press outlining the policies to be carried out during the governments administration. The entire tenor of the interview showed a determi- nation to improve the political and com mercial relations between Japan and all foreign countries, to remedy the finances of the country and to build up the in- dustries of Japan.
 Marquis Katsura said:
 ''The recent change in the cabinet was caused simply on account of the contin- ued i'll health of former Premier Saionji, although there may have been other es- | sential reasons, necessitaing a change of policy towards foreign countries. need hardly say that my policy will be peace ful, the prime object of it being to main- tain peace throughout the world. With this end in view I will do my best to cul- tivate and increase the present good rela- tions existing among the powers. Japan must not be misunderstood in her sincere desire to maintain peace. Anything cal SuldteO III eNeil tAie SlA6At oS6ASS " disturb the peace of the world shall be most scrupuously avoided by me.
 '"The disturbance of Japan finances on account of the recent war between Japan and Russia must be allayed within the shortest possible time Redemption bonds, more especially those that are unproduc- tive, will receive my first attention. hope to be able to readjust Japan's finances and thus dispel the abnormal conditions now existing. The upbuilding of Japan's economical and commercial de- velopment will be one of my most serious endeavors, but in carrying out this policy I shall be most careful to avoid anything calculated to disturb the peaceful rela- tions of the powers. These are the prin- cipal objects to be pursued. The adjust ment of the national finances and the de- velopment of the national resources are two inseparable measures, and therefore shall command my utmost attention and the utmost attention of my government" utterances showed a sincere determination to bring conditions in Japan within the most practical scope, and retrenchment will undoubtedly be the watchword. The Associated Press understands that Mar quis Katsura has agreed to reduce the expenditures for armaments to the low est possible without destroying the pres ent establishment"

N THE SWEAT
 OF THE PLANETS

From the Technical World
 Civilization is not handmade. The cliff-dweller rose by clinging to the tail of a wolf Society became possible with the spinning of the first water wheel. Modern democracy isJ machne-made product. Race progress depends on me- chanical power.
 The steam engine was the great eman- cipator. It doubled the productive en- ergy of the human race; made serfs un- proftable; abolished the galleys; stopped the treadmills; drove the harper out of the kings palace and put Caruso on the handicapped table of every cottage. 1t made each man his own Columbus; sent stay-at-homes around the world; started a universal correspondence school in all the arts and sciences
 Every advance in dynamics is a new declaration of independence. With every step forward the individual withers and the world is more and more." The pow CT engineer is the poet and prophet of the greatest good to the greatest num- Der. He is an unconscious socialist. He decreed the eight-hour day and the Sat- urday half-holiday. On the Pacific coast he has harnessed the glaciers which cov- CT the high top of Mt. Rainier and set them to running the street cars in Seat tie and Tacoma Across the prairies of the middle west he has stretched copper power wires. Tapping these magic fla ments, the farmer straightens his bent back and sits down to read Bernard Shaw while the cream is churning.
 Merely scratch the earth's surface for depth of 12,000 feet and water will turn instantly into steam. The dream of the power engineer is the sinking of two pipes to that depth Once in place he will drop high explosives to the bottom of each and discharge them simultan- eously, until a connection has been formed between the bottom of the pipes. Then into the mouth of one pipe he will divert stream of water. At the bot tom of this pipe the column of water will exert a pressure of, say, 5000 pounds to the square inch, and the steam resulting from it's contact with the superheated rocks will automatically rise to the top of the other pipe. Harness this steam to turbines at the surface and exhaustless power will be-humanly speaking-forever available.
 But the engineer is not content with planning to turn the earth itself into a great power plant. He has designs on the rest of the solar system. The music of the spheres shall keep time with the rattle of spindles. The sun and moon are to be driven tandem. Man, he de- clares, shall eat Dread in the sweat of the planets.

The Barber and La Dubarry. Vance Tn ompson, in Harper's Magazine
 for April
 No 16S, there is an old palace with a huge circular court with old gates and old arches and old trees. It Is now the property of the vicomtesse du Chatel; in other days it was a sxyal residence. The winsomest figure that wandered there, under the elms, was that of Dubarry. With her went her black boy Zamor-a capering little monster, half ape. half dwarf. (The hour she was taken to the guillotine he suuatted on the floor of what had been her home and drank an awful toast to the pretty head that's falling into the egg basket; a tragic mon sterD While the artist worked there one afternoon, and I, in holy idleness looked on, a barber came from across the way. He had a curled beard, and a comb was stuck in his shock of black hair.
 La Dubarry," he said. "ah. tn ere was a woman to turn a kings head Ouelle femme! I have bust of her over in my shop-a veritable work of art"
 "Is it old7" asked the artist, who has a lust for possessing old and beautiful things.
 Tt is an antique work of art" said the barber T inherited 1t from my father Would you like to inspect 1t? I am at your service" So we crossed the street to the shop With all the pride in the world he pointed to the window, where, amid brushes and bottles, was smiling wax head with wig of yellow hair.
