The death Of a weary old woman in
q charity asylum in London few days
since. is but another proof of the iIlu-
sive nature Of fame and worldly sue
cess. She died and It was telegraphed
all over the world that Olive Logan
had died In madhouse. Those whose
memory went back for generation or
more knew the name at once. It
brought to their mind the memory of
woman who in her day. strong and
impetuous woman. doomed large in the
affairs of the times.
An actres and an authoress. she won
certain success in both professions.
But in neither did she attain the fullest
measure Of success. Both as an act
ress and an authoress, she fell just
little short of greatness. But women
In her day found 1t more difacult to
attain distinction than in the present
time. She had. too, the knack of keep
ing herself and her AFFAIRS in the inter
est Of the world. she went among the
prominent Of two continents. Her
writings were praised and given a
place in prophecy for posterity. but
they failed to live.
An actress. she won applause. but
approval was fieeting. In her hey day
she was feted and dined. She lived
like prima donna OF today, and her
money went with lavish carelessness.
To her thinking. the bars established
by conventions were too narrow for
her great personality. She beat her
wings against those bars. and. like all
others who have done II. she fell back
defeated. And gradually the star that
had shown quite clearly In the firma-
nent OF fame, faded.
A querulous old woman went into
London police court and complained
that her husband had spent all her
money and then beat her. The hus-
band was a drunken London watch
man. The duerulous old woman was
Olive Logan. known to fame in two con-
tinents. Friends took her away and
cared for her. But the light of her
mind had flickered and gone out. She
was carried to an asylum. and there
she, who had been feted by statesmen
and praised by critics. died unwept and
unsung.

COST JUST S6OO,OOO,OOO.OO
That Is What President Taft Says
the United States Has Paid For
Its Philippine Policy.

WASHINGTON president in
his speech at the missionary conven-
ton spoke in part as follows:
"We have taken over in a sense
a receivership for Santo Domingo,
and We are helping out that country
as well as we may, and we are doing
what we can to preserve the peace
between the Central American cOun-
tries. And there lies back in all the
history of this continent the posi-
bilities of a heavy obligation resting
upon us should an explosion take
place and unhappiness and chaos re-
suit for any one of the peoples of
this hemisphere.
Now, that is one step. The Cuba
war illustrated the fact that when
you get into war you never know
when you are coming out. We en-
tered it lightly-well, not lightly, but
with a sense of due gravity, and GER
tainly not with a sense of what the
possibilities We're, at Key West and
at Santiago. and we brought up TO-
900 miles away at Manila. And then
we had to take over that government
and we still have it.
money. | had a democrat to ask me
the other day how much I thought
it cost, right down between us, now,
he said Well, l explained to him
that the war department accounts
showed that as far as the army was
concerned down to 1902 it has cost
us about $170,0OO,O00 and that the
further cost depends upon how you
regarded the army If you thought
that we could get along with fifteen
or twenty thousand men less than
we now have then the whole cost OF
the army ought to be imposed as a
part of our foreign policy, which
would make from twenty-five to thir-
ty millions a year. But if you
thought that we ought to have the
army of the size that it is now, and
that it could be made useful in many
ways, then it has cost us by reason
of our Philippine policy upward Of
0O,O0O,000."
