his majesty at luncheon today on board

NJ. Pichon, the French foreign minis

lister of foreign affairs, had long con
ference this afternoon. 1t is understood
that the principal subject discussed was
the general European situation, particu-
larly the position Of Germany. The irri-
tation of Germany and the recent de-
velopments in European politics have
caused anxiety i'll western Europe.
With regard to Morocco and Persia it
is understood that each nation is to be
allowed to carry out its own policy.
Tonight NJ. Falleres will give an Off

he will sail for Christiania.

THE WORTH WHILE WAY.
By Henry T. Cope

faith."-II Tim. iv, T.
1t is a splendid thing, at the end of
life, to be as certain Of having done the
right thing all along as you were con-
fident Of intention to do it at the be-
ginning. Seldom is life's review as sat
isfactory as it's prospect was inspiring.
Long before It's end we begin to see
ways in which we might have done bet
ter, and to US all there must often come
the grave question: What are the
things most worth striving for in life?
1t is a needless life that never asks ::
Am 1 seeking the prizes really worth
the gaining?
Every purposeful life gains some
prize the puzzli1g question is as to
which are the most desirable-the per-
manently valuable. Popular opinion
points to riches and honors; but ex-
perience warns Of the price to be paid
for them. 1t would be folly to pretend
that they go always to the most worthy.
You do not have to look far at any time
to find the microscopic man with the
magnificent fortune. Often the richest
man is the poorest kind of a man. At
any rate it is certain that you cannot
pursue that prize with singIeness of
purpose without the sacrifice of almost
every other desirable thing.
Then, cries conscience, choose char
acter make that your end. But a man
stops to count the cost. While il is
not true that one cannot be rich both
in character and in cash, the instances
are sufficiently few to make them look
more like exceptions than rules. Piety
is rot established by poverty. neither
does it insure against it. They who
seek character regard adversely and
prosperity, ignominy and honors but as
incidents on the way, the goal alone is
TO them essential. One world Of
thought brands as failure the lie that
leaves no legacy Of things, while yet
another is equally sure that success is
to be measured by treasures of the soul
alone, Who Will show Us the right
way?
\ concrete answer comes from one Of
the worlds wisest and best Paul
mighty in manhood, died poor and in
prison; but he died endorsing the
course that had such an end. In review
he saw that the way had been right

ern that the body was loaded in the
fate defying way.
But the railroad man is not alone
in his belief in omens and charms. The
passenger also has a pet lot Of super
stitions that defy logic and the persua-
sion Of common sense. The belief that
the wearing Of a white flower or white
ribbon protects travellers from accident
is fairly widespread. Some believe that
burning coffee just before leaving on
journey is better than an accident pol
icy, and in certain sections Of the South
some very pious people will not under
take railroad trip without first tying
a copy Of the sixteenth psalm under the
left armpit. Putting wisp Of straw
in the bottom of the trunk is believed
not only to protect the baggage from
| loss, but also insure the safety Of the
owner. Women sometimes pack their
stockings in the trunk In a mystic cir
Gle, as a protection from accident
There is q superstition that 1t is I'M
lucky to lock the trunk before 1t leaves
the house, and with more apparent rea-
son, it is particularly portentous If the
trunk lid falls upon you while you are
packing.
If traveller loses his hat out of a
car window there Is compensation in
the knowledge that 1t means good news
from home. If a passenger happens to
pass derailed or wrecked locomotive,
it is the sign that he soon Is to come
into possession of hidden wealth. To
see a crow feeding on a carcass is an
other lucky omen for a traveller.
If dust blows in a persons eye while
on his way to catch a train it is sign
Of accident on the trip. 1t is cOnsid-
cred an ominous encounter for a person
hurrying to q train to meet a spectacle
wearing negro. 1t is also unlucky for
traveller to cut his finger nails just
before starting on a journey; disgrace
will overtake him, and II a traveller
leaves home in q carriage for the station

family or friends to watch him out of

Perhaps the most superstitious class
of people in the United States are the
otherwise hard-headed, keen-witted
railroad men They are fatalists by
circumstances Of life Of constant dan
ger. Death is a commonplace acct
dent and injury all In the days work
and line Of duty. Contempt OF death,
akin to that OF The fanatic Mussulman,
but without the allurement of the
back-eyed houri paradise. is bred by
familiarity, the never-endIng risk OF
lie and limb, as told in the grim sta
tiStics Of railroad fatalities Many
bloody campaigns of great wars show
fewer casualties than the annual death
and accident report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. This makes
life cheap and its risk and sacrifice
for so much per diem an incident. The
railroad man lives in an atmosphere of
the fatal chance and nerve-teasing I'M
certainty. Death may be speeding to-
the next pounding OF the massive driv-
ers may strike q broken rail /; the
tower signal man makes his awful err
rors in an almost unvarying average :;
the landslide and the tempered switch
are entirely beyond provision. And 1t
Is this dominancy of chance, Of the IN
prevised, the unexpected, the unfore-
seen, utterly battling human ingenuity,
that makes the average railroad man
as superstitiously fatalistic as q whirl-
ing deryish or a warrior Of the Mad
Mullah.
This environment Of the fatal
chance, emphasizing human. futility and
powerlessness, creates q rich soil for
omen, charm and fetch, and few rail-
road men can be found who are not in
oculated with the virus of protecting
superstition. Press them closely, and
seven out Of ten will confess it In a
half shame-faced half defiant way.
For instance, it is considered most
unlucky among engineers TO take an
engine out for its first run Friday or
on that fatal day to put the finishing
touches to it in the shop.
Trainmen, particularly brakemen of
the old school, believe it is bad luck IL

JAPAN IS FRIGHTENED.
Believes That Trade Will Suffer Severely
if American Railways Raise
Their Rates

TOXIC, July 2S.-A feeling OF
apprehension seems to be growing in
Japan with regard to the ultimate ac-
ton Of the five American railway com
panies which threaten to raise their
fares on goods carried eastward from
the Pacific coast. If the originally pro-
posed schedule be adopted crushing
blow will be given to the trade ia
Japan's miscellaneous manufactures
which now occupy highly important
place in her export trade. A combined
protest having been made by the Nippon
Yusen Kaisha the Mitsui company, the
Togo Kisen Kaisha and the MOrimura
guild it is thought probable that the di-
rectors of the five railway companies
will reconsider their decision.

will stop a woman with slow inquiries
