The operation. however will surely improve the pa tient. for, after recovery, the offices will be much larger and more conven- iently arranged, incorporating the add ed room afforded by the enlargement of the building.

after month spent in the New York markets Asked as to the general conditions in the east, the prospects for the future and the degree of con- fidence felt, he said that conditions were quite satisfactory. There. has been period of some doubt and fear in the business world as to what the president might do in the closing hours of his administration, that would result in a disturbing of con- fidence and that returning prosperity that has been more and more in evil dence ever since election. However as the end approaches, there has been daily less and less of fear and it seems to be the opinion of business men generally that the administration of MT. Taft will be conservative and helpful to the business interests.

China's Empress Do7cager Wanted
Nephe7cs Death for Estate Reasons.

Good od-fashoned methods of royal assas-
gination for state reasons, such as used 10 DE
practised in medieval Europe, are said to have
been followed in the adjustment of Chlna's en-
perorship a few months ago. 1t is stated on
authority by the Revue of Paris, that the late
Emperor and the Empress Dowager did not die
within two days of each other by the unaded
decree of fate While the aged aunt had natu-
raj reasons for passing away. the demise Of the
imperial nephew artifcialy accelerated
Knowing that she was about TO die, the Tnaievo-
Iently murderous or highly statesmanlike old
woman dragged her unfortunate relative into
the grave with her. This left the way open for
a three-year-old baby, son Of the Emperors

presumably preserve the peace of China

place The Empress Dowager got ahead Of her

that Kwang Su had bad case Of heart disease
and might not survive his venerable aunt
At 10 O'Clock In the morning the captive En-
peror was visited in his secluded apartments by
the chief cunuch and two assistants The chief
eunuch announced to Kwang Su that In View or

eunuch laid on a table some opium pills pack

Emperor could take his choice II he did not
help himself to any Of these things within three
hours the eunuch said that he and his assistants
would be compelled to strange their beloved and
imperial ruler with the silk cord.
The young man did not have to be told how to
use any of the articles. In China opium poison

md he resolves that never again will
woman make fool OF hlm-never
There Is another sort OF man who
can very easily develop into a bachelor.
although quite against his Will He
seeks a woman who Will suit him In
every particular. which just means that
he wants q wife made to order, and not
an ordinary woman,
He Is sure to be disappointed, for
a woman who Will suit any man in
every particular is not living-you can
not get hold of a woman like that, no
matter where you turn. This man real
~ wants too much. and values himself
too highly: he thinks he is cut out for
good things, and, accordingly. seeks to
marry q woman to whom the word
"superlative" applies in every way. Can
ono wonder If he remains single all
his days2
Then there is the man who cannot
proposNhe simply cannot put the
question to a young Lady. He yearn5
to marry, and perhaps gets hold of tho
right glrl-but he cannot speak. time
and again he makes an effort; time
and again he is foiled one way or an
other; and so his proposal hangs fire,
and probably never comes or. Also
there is the very good-looking young
mara non-marrytng type, II ever
there was one: he knows scores of nico
girls, all of them worthy and quite
capable of taking up the post OF wife.
He Is able to marry. but what is he
to do? He likes them all equally he
knows he ought to settle down: in fact,
he wants to do SO. but how on earth
can he pick out one girl when he knows
quite well that a round dozen are eX
pecting him to propose?
a man of this kind is liable to hesi-
tate too long. and ere he knows what
is happening he is into set bachelor
habits-and he sticks to them all His
life very often.
There Is one sort of man who does
not marry-I have met a few of his
kind he wants to marry a girl with
bit of hard cash. Now. we all of US
know what a hard task 1t is to cap
ture the love OF a maid with a little
cash. so II may be assumed that such
man starts out on an almost hopeless
quest. He could marry If he liked, but
the very girls to suit him. alas! are
maids of the penniless order.
Accordingly he remains a bachelor
| in the end.
Then. again. I know for a fact that a
