hope alrs even" There was a long and
stubborn fight between Yale and the gov
ernors of the East India company, which
resulted in his removal from office. He
returned to England with large fortune
in 1899. He was famous for his generosi-
ty and the "high-handed ways" which he
showed in dealing with the council at
Madras, the governors of the East India
company, the merchants of London and
other people with whom he came in con-
tact lin other words, he had a dictatorial
and autocratic disposition, but was as
generous in his benevolence and as wise in
the application of his great fortune as
he was keen and eXacting in .accumulat-
Ing 1t. He gave a library to st. Paul s
school, in London. He restored st. Giles
church at Wrexham, the home of hts
forefathers, and the altar piece, which
represents the last supper, was his gift.
In some manner he fell in with the Rev.
Cotton Mather, who induced him to make
a contribution to a struggling school at
New Haven, in which ne TOOK a growing
interest. His gifts were SO frequent and
generous that when the institution was
chartered the trustees bestowed his name
upon it.
Elihu Yale, however, never saw New
Haven. He left Boston when he WIS only
4 years old and did not return to the
cOiOHy. he uleu III lOn0On, july D, lIZl,
and was buried among his foreratners,
under the shadow of the beautiful tower
of st. Giles, as l have already told you.
Yale married In Asia. as stated In his
epitaph, his wife being Catherine Hymn
ners, widow of his predecessor in the gov
ernorship of Madras. They had one son
and three daughters. The son, named
David, after his grandfather, died in in
fancy The eldest daughter, Ursula,
named after her grandmother, never lnar-
ried Anne, the second daughter, married
Lord Cayendsh, and among her posterity
have been a number of distinguished men
and women. The youngest daughter.
Catherine, married Dudlex North, who
took over the business of Elihu Yale and
became merchant prince In London.
Llangollen is on the regular Holyhead
route between London and Dublin, and
those who pass this way have an oppor-
tunity of seeing a panorama of scenery
90 miles long that cannot be surpassed In
the British empire. 1t Is a great tempta-
ton to dwell upon its beauties, and the
legends and folklore of the valley of the
Dee are quite as fascinating as the scene
ry. There is scarcely a mile without a
story.

"Pang-Wangling."

From the Atlantic Monthly.
A little dubious as to the exact shade
Of significance, but certainly alluring to
the ear, is ''pang- wangle.'' 1t expresses
well. what does it express "a cheeriness
under minor discomforts, humorous
optimism under small misfortunes, though
indeed these seem dignfied definitions for
so informal a word.
Il just pang-wangled home in the rain

there drenched but good tempered.
I'VE went pang-wangling off to the the

Dor; and I feel pretty certain that they
had been blue over something and felt
the need of some small gayety. 1t would

A very meaning word is the southern
er's ''honing." MY honey, I've just been
honing to see you'll 1t is not so stited as
I've been longing" and It is much more
emphatic than "rve been wanting" It's
warm, affectionate, intimate word
honing. Let me put it into the adden-
dunn, well toward the front, for 1 love
the sound of it.
These words are not slang. They are
not exactly-as one high-brow friend in
formed mellow colloquialisms." They
have a place in language, and they add
considerably to its color. Just you wait
until (under the influence of that row of
hollyhocks and that noble picket fence
my addendum is finished. Then let the
purists squirm!

MAKES FINE TRIP

Donaueschingen, Baden, November T.
The Zeppelin airship with Crown Prince
Frederick William on board arrived over
this town today. 1t made a number OF
trips above the railroad track while
awaiting the arrival of a special imperial
train on which the Emperor came from
Austria.
When the imperial train arrived the
airship followed it into the town at an
altitude of from 400 to 600 feet. The
crown prince greeted his father through
megaphone and the emperor respond
ed to this salutation by waving his hand.
Upon alighting from the train his maj
esty drove to the castle and took up a
position on the terrace. The airship then
approached and when directly overhead
the crown prince threw out a letter ad-
dressed to his father. Count Zeppelin
then circumnavigated the castle, after
which further greetings were exchanged
and the airship started on its voyage
back to Friedrichshafen, whence II

PLUNGED TO DEATH.
Merchant Loses Life Trying to Escape
From Burning House.

New York, November Creeping
along narrow stone coping while the
flames darted about him, in an effort
to escape from his burning home, Ar
thur G. Healing, a retired clothing
merchant of Brooklyn, today plunged
to the street below, receiving injuries
from which he later died. His wife
and son and two daughters, from the
sidewalk, breathlessly watched him
as he slowly moved along the perilous
path Just as he was within a few
inches of the next building and safety
they were Mortified to see a sudden
burst of flame envelope him. The next
moment he lost his balance and fell
headlong to the street, where he lay
huddled in a crushed mass. Had the
victim not gone back into the house
to secure valuable papers he would
have escaped death.

was arrested, but said he was inno-

TIE LION ROARETH

The lion hath been awakened, he
risetm up, shaReth out his main,
stTetoheth himself, claweth at the
bars of the cage, yawneth great
yawn, shaketh himself anew, swell
ETH. up his lungs for a great roar
which is to be heard from Maine
TO California and from lakes to gu'f,
yea the echoes OF that roar are 10
cross the seas to the Islands OF the
seas. But 1t Is not the echo about
which the lion carath. Just so II
is heard from ocean to ocean, the
lion will be content and will a lit
tie later retire TO the jungles of At
rica and permit the American peo-
pie Live I'm peace to recover from
the effects of the panic If they can.
What does this all mean? It means
that President Roosevelt has been
sitting up and taking notice for the
past rev weeks ana lhat ne can hold
himseuf no longer. The reports
which are being sent to Oyster Bay
are not pleasing to the ear OF the
king He is afraid that his crown
prince is going to get the wind TAX
en- out Of his sais on election day
and that Mr. Bryan is gong to lay
him away in the shade. In an er-
fort to stop the constantly growing
tide OF Bryan sentiment through
out the country, Presidency Roose-
welt has brought the big stick
out of hiding and has addressed
ia speech to the voters in the hope
OF turning their attention from the

Commoner and centering it not up
on Taft, but upon himself He is
to step out into the limelight for a
few moments with a view to center
ing tie attention of the peop'e,
make them forget about Bryan and
Taft and remember only "Me and
My Policies" In other words he
proposes to try to throw sand into
the eyes of the voters.
Mr.. Roosevelt Is not content with
forcing a candidate upon the peo-
pie of his party, he is now going
to try to force his election down
their throats, TO make them take a
bitter pill and look pleasant about
It, Ever since President Roosevelt
began meddling in political affairs,
he has been losing popularity He
lost many friends in Ohio when he
dictated the nomination of Theodore
Burton for the Republican nomina-
tion for mayor of Cleveland, he
dabbled in municipal and state pol
tiles until he got his fingers burned
and then he set about 10 dictate who
should be his successor, provided the
voters of the country would vote as
they have been voting and Mr..
Roosevelt has discovered this fact.
The voters are not going to vote
as they have voted. He has
learned of the growing pop
ularity of Mr.. Bryan and he does
not like II, He sees that the voters
have minds of their own and that
they are reasoning out some of these
quetions for themselves; they are
studying the question of tariff revi-
sion, of guaranteed bank deposits
and the others which are being pre-
sented by AFR. Bryan, and they like
the Ideas which are coming to them
and whch are being, pointed out to
them by the Commoner. Mr. Roose-
welt does not like this and he pro-
poses to come to the relief of Mr.
Taft, who is not able to hold his own
with Mr. Bryan, and see II the tide
cannot be stemmed for anotl.ar
four years at least.
Mr.. Roosevelt can write his let
ters If he wants to. he can go on
the stump and make speeches If he
wants to, he can shake the big stick
over The heads of the people, he
can even make a swing around the
circle like Taft Is going to do but
he cannot stem the tide. The Bty-
an sentiment is sweeping this coun-
try like the forest fires in the North
west II may die down for a night,
but 1t bursts forth again only to
sweep on again with greater veloa-
ty and more than ever defying re
sistance.
