the labyrinth from Ariadne and killeo the monster.
 The dotted guiding line, shown in the plan of the Cretan labyrinth, fur nishes key to the minotaur's prison in the center It will be noticed that every path In the maze has to be traversed before the center can be reached. Looking down on the plan of the maze this looks like a simple and methodical way to reach the center, but if the reader were penned in be tween the high walls of the maze and invited to try it again he would prob ably soon lose his bearings and get hopelessly lost.
 No key is furnished to the solution of the Moeris labyrinth. Readers are invited to find 1t for themselves if they can. An entrance to the outer palaces will be found in the top. There are several shortcuts by which the center garden may be reached; it is not necessary to traverse the entire group of 3.oo0 buildings To reach the center of the garden will prove almost as much puzzle as the Cretan laby- rinth. And having once reached the middle 1t will be just as hard, perhaps harder, to get out again than it was to find a way In.

The duty of straining the soup that day was given to a wretched un- der-cook, who took a cloth which had been used for cleaning the lamps.
 This was trying but everyone tried to make the best of matters. The din. her went smoothly after this, until des- sert. Among the dishes was one of green gages, with lot of fluffy cream on top. l felt rather proud of this delicacy. The colonel tasted it.

A INDICATED SOUP.
ooOO~O@O~c

One often reads of the trembiings and anxieties which accompany the first dinner parties of the young wife and housekeeper. Gerald Gordon, in Life in the Mufussil," gives a bit ot experience which shows that youthful bacbelor makes his debut as an enter tainer with similar feelings of trepida- tion. Feeling almost as nervous as q girl for the success of his initial social enterprise in India, he entered the din- ing room with his guests.
 The table looked very well. h the center was a large citron melon, with the thick rind cut into ornamental shapes. The flowers were prettily ar ranged. When l viewed the dining room before the arrival of the guests felt well contented.
 Tln critical moment was when we sat down. l was prey to hundred and one anxieties. These fears were not allayed by seeing my right-hand neighbor only making a show of eat ing his soup. Then l saw the colonel take one spoonful and order the serv- ant to take 1t away. My own turn ar irving, I found to my horror strong flavor of castor oil in the concoctiol. On looking round the table, it was clear that everyone else had discovered it.
 The consumah. standing by the side board, was totally unconscious that anything was wrong. and I had to tell him twice to remove the soup.
 Later the horrible mystery was ex-

by senator Simmons, of North Cnrolinn.

GnllinE.r Accepts Amendment Offered
by senator Simmons, of North Cnrolinn.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-Senator
Simmons. of North Carolina. to-day
spoke in support of his amendment to
the OCEAN mail ship subsidy bill, au-
thori2inS the payment of the same
rates to vessels of the second-class that
are allowed to those of the first-class
for carrying the mails. The only diff
ference between vessels of the first
class and those of the second class. he
said. was the difference between twen-
ty and sixteen knots in speed, and a
difference in capacity of between 5000
and 5000 tons.
To-day in the whole world" de-
clared Mr.. Simmons, there are but
twenty -one steamships of the first-class
as defined by the act Of 1891. and every
one of them is owned by the Canadian
Pacific Railroad
Mr.. Simmons said that in 1905 Ameri-
can cotton trade with China amounted
to $i7,000,O00. while last year 1t was
only s3,OOO,O00
What does that mcan?" he asked
1T means that when we began to be
troublesome, our foreign competitors
regulated their rates so as to crowd
us OUT
Mr.. Simmons suggested that the
amount of compensation for mail trans
lportation In the, foreign service in any
one yeaf should be limited to the esti-.
mated revenues of the government for
that particular service, and MIR. Gal

said he would be willing to accept the

WILL VOTE ON LICENSE
Judge Aiken Orders Election for April
15th-ro Be Exciting Fight.

Especial to The Times Dispaich.j
DANV1LLE, VA, March 13.--Judge
A. NJ. Aiken. OF the Corporation Court,
issued this morning q writ calling for
a special election to be held on We'd
nesday, April 18th, to vote on the
licensing OF the liquor traffic. A petit
tion was presented to the court several
days ago bearing the signatures Of sew
eral hundred voters, requesting that
such an election be held. The petition
was gotten UP under the auspices OF
the Anti-Saloon League. and had twice
as many signatures as the number re-
quired by law.
A close and exciting fight Is expected,
and every effort will be put forward by
those opposed to the licensing of the
liquor traffic to do away with the open
saloons, on the other hand. the "wets''
have practically known for some time
that such an election would be held,
and have not been sleeping. The pay
ment OF poll taxes six months ago as
a requisite to vote showed clearly that
systematic work was being done by
leaders of both factions. Danville has
about twenty. saloons. and they are
subject to local lice..se tax of $500
The saloons are subject to the most
rigid regulations. not being allowed to
open until o'clock. and required to
close at o'clock. No screens or OBJ
structions of any kind are allowed, and
