Fighting for Life Against
Very Heavy Odds.
Surgical Operation VIII Be
Performed as Last Resort.
II II Fails, the End Of the Aged
Monarch VIII Soon Come.

Brussels, Dec. 13-Leopold II, king or
the Belgians, tonight is making des-
perate fight with death, and the odds
are strongly against the aged monarch
His Majesty has received the last sac
rements and as a last resort the sur
geon's knife will be tried tomorrow
If the operation is successful, King
Leopold may live. If 1t fails the end
is inevitable. All will depend on the
Kings strength and vitality which are
fast ebbing.
Rheumatism has already conquered
the aged and wasted frame. Dropsy
has developed, and an obstruction of
the intestines which must be removed,
has greatly aggravated his condition.
The general opinion is that the King
will not survive the operation. Indeed
he may die at any moment. The mon
arch himself is rather optimistic, and
today exclaimed to his physicians:
Operate, and the sooner the better"
But ne added with wistful smile:
Perhaps, doctor, the long journey is
at hand"
Separated from his two eldest
daughters by a tragic train of events,
with scandals Of his own personal life
whispered by every tongue, Leopold lay
tonight surrounded by his faithful
daughter, Princess Clementine, Crown
Prince Albert and the royal household.
The day was a mixture of anxiety,
nope and despair and as his strength
failed, the King whispered to his chap
lain, and the aged and devoted priest
with tears wetting his cheeks, app
preached the bed and heard his con-
fession and administered communion
and extreme JUNCTION.
The King slept intermittently last
night. During one period of wakeful-
ness he sent for his private secretary,
Baron Gofilnett, who remained sever
al moments in the chamber. Immedl-
ately following this mornings consul
tation the King summoned his lawyer
and a notary with whom he had a
prolonged interview. presumably rela-
tive to his will. Subsequently he re-
ceived the Papal nuncio, who brought
the benediction of the Holy Father, and
the Spanish minister. The mayor of
the city came to the castle as the
bearer of good wishes Of the people of
Brussels and to express the popular
hope that His Majesty would recover,
but the King was too tired to receive
him.

WHITNEY TALKS ON
MAYNARD YOUTHS
Blames Parents for Many
Children Going
Astray

That parents are often largely re-
sponsible for waywardness of their
children, was the opinion expressed
last night by W. l.. Whitney in an
address before the Civic Section of
Central Union Church. Judge Whit
ney based his conclusion on expert
ence derived while District Magis-
trate.
Judge Whitney praised the Juve-
nile Court law, passed By the present
Legislature, and expressed the belief
that 1t will do all that any REFORM
atory agency can. On the other hand,
he expressed the belief that present
conditions can only be materially
changed by the education of parents
regarding their duty toward their
children.
Judge Whitney called attention to
the fact that, in a climate such as
that of Hawaii, II is easy for way
ward youths TO run away from home
and subsist without the shelter OF
the parental roof. and that in cOnse-
quence there is problem to be faced
here which does not exist in districts
less favored by nature.

Ways Of Raising Money for Charity,

The method of raising money for
charities by such means as the confer
ring of decorative coat labels on tag
day." is not altogether original. From
times immemorial n China donation
OF 10000 taels to charity has secured
for the donor the much-prized pea
cocks feather, while for half that sum
title of nobility Is conferred ON ones
ancestors to the third generation. The
late emperor of Brazil followed the
same method when erecting hospital
in Rio de Janeiro. Having found q
difficulty in obtaining the necessary
funds, he announced that the title of
baron" was to be conferred on every
subscriber of 10000 milreis, and that
Of count" on subscribers Of 100000
milreis. This announcement produced
the desired effect, and the hospital was
soon completed. The opening cere-
mony was performed by the emperor,
and attended by large number of the
newly ennobled, who did not alto
gether relish the words inscribed In
letters Of gold on the gable of the new
building, Human Vanity to Human
Misery"

There Is not much danger for the

their sleeping time a planning time,
who take the burdens of life as bed

NO." she answered.

Ditto" she replied. That's why
there is nothing doing in the matrimo-

"Oh, l don't know" he sneered, as
he extracted an obese billbook from
an inside pocket and displayed a num-
Der of $1,000 bills. I'm not so
short"
Whereupon the unwary maid tried
to fall upon his neck, but he grace
fully sidestepped and she fell to the
floor in faint.
