The autumn days had arrived,
when one day he saw her sitting on
the wall near the Gordon place.
He ignored her apparent wish for
him to 90 away and tried to get her

She loved you very much?' This
time she did not answer.

sided conversation, but continued:
Il was talking to her the day be-

intended to tell you soon if you would

He held her attention, but she did
not seem to realize the meaning of his
last words, for she said:
Did Katie know you were going to
Preston?"
Yes" he said. joyful at the sound
of her voice. Il told her I was going
to coax you, and she said you must

There was something almost tragic
in her answer as she jumped from the
wall and stood before him.
He was startled But you didn't
refuse, and I forgot all about it and
afterward you would not speak to

He fumbled through his notebooks
and finally drew forth letter, which
he handed to her.

daze. Through the mist of tears gath

On the strength of assurances

OF the United States Government ten
or more years ago, nearly 5000 Amer
leans have become interested as resi-
dents or property owners in the Isle
of Pines. AT least nine-tenths of the

citizens of the United States under
titles bought in good faith and paid
for to the Cuban and Spanish owners.
They have built their homes there,

newspapers, transportation lines and
all the adjuncts of American civiliza-
ton. The conditions which have pre-
vailed in the island for hundreds of
years, under Spanish rule, would,
with favorable conditions, be miti-
gated by American ownership. Our
people show both a Willingness and a
capacity for developing its splendid
resources, and they feel that they are
entitled to encouragement by the
maintenance of American sovereignty
instead of enduring prostration and
loss through expatriation to an alien
flag.
Our fellow citizens have spent their
money in the purchase of farms, have
moved their families thereto, built
their homes, and endured all the dis
comforts of pioneering, with the dis

Infants Dress.

The infants dress that is made
with a shaped yoke is pretty and at
tractive one, and this model can be
embroidered by hand as illus Fated
or made with yoke of fancy material
as preferred. The dress is laid in tiny
tucks at the upper edge and can be
finished either with a frill or with a
hem. 1t can be made with short or
long sleeves and finished with frill
or hem at the lower edge as pre-

for babies dresses are appropriate.

derness, and the pretty pulled sleeves,
with under ones of thinner material,
are among the latest features. In
this case, the blouse is made of crepe
meteore and the trimming is net
braided with soutache in matching
color, while the front portion and un-
der-sleeves are made of tucked chiffon
and the chemisette is of white lace to
give touch of lightness and relief.
Various combinations might be sug-
gested, however, and the centre-front
could match the blouse portions with
the under-sleeves and chemisette
made from the same material if one
liked. Treated in this way, the CEN
tre-front would afford an excellent
opportunity for the use of embroidery
or soutache.
The blouse is made over a fitted
lining and itself consists of the front
back and centre-front. Both the
fronts and the back are tucked, but
the centre-front is plain, in this in

Perhaps the most notable of Tang's
achievements in recent years was the
restoration of order and the revival of
industry In the province of Mukden, Of
which he was made governor last year
and which he found PROSTATE from the
ravages of the Russo-Japanese War; but
the really monumental work of his career
Is to be found in the reform of the
Chinese currency which he has under
taken with determination. What it
means to revolutionize the complicated
money system of nation of 400,0O0,000
people is beyond the comprehension of
any American, but suffice to say that
the monetary system of China has here

HMERICA'S trade and political in

show most markedly for many
years to come the impress of the infu-
ence of the special mission, which has

Embassy, which has just visited the
United States. Owing to the recent spec
tacular governmental .shake-up'' at Pc

of the Special Embassy shortened some

official mission of the visitors extraordi-
nary was discharged just as originally
planned.

the most distinguished body of high Off

serted that these ceremonial callers from

eled beyond the confines of the Celestial

Cattle plaques were just as frequent in
the Middle Ages as those frightful cpl
denies of diseases among men that
frequently swept the entire known
globe, starting In far Eastern Asia
among the crowded hordes of the Longo-
liam steppe and swinging from nation
to nation until it died out in the Arctic
regions-not from the cold but merely
from lack of more material to creep upon.
The foot and mouth disease, known
likewise as aphthous fever, epizootic aph-
tina, infectious aphtha, eczema epizootic,
is, so far as science today is concerned,
closed book, both as to specific germ or
bacillus which causes the scourge and the
cause or cure thereof.
Science Can Do Little.
All that modern science can actually do
even to this day against foot and mouth
disease is a primitive and brutal extermi-
nation of the victims of the fever before
other creatures have become infected by
1t.
Loef1er, a celebrated scientist of Ger
many, and today perhaps the nan most
experienced in combating foot and mouth
disease, tried inoculating healthy cattle
with injections of infected material and
produced immunity in a great majority of
his cases, but the animals thus treated

For of his nephews are now living at

with the same people who were so kind

Not only has Special Ambassador Tang
who is now in his forty-sixth year, been
for some time past, closely in the conf
dence of the royal family of China, but
he has accomplished much on his own
initiative. 1t was he who first suggested
to the late Empress Dowager the wisdom
OF modification in the form of govern
ment of China and his memorial to the
throne pctitioning for constitution and
II parliament made him at once the
leader of the reform movement in the
empire. Likewise is he the most con-
spicuous advocate of the new policy of
"China for the Chinese" meaning the
carrying out of governmental, CONNER
cial and industrial development by the
Chinese themselves instead of by for
eigners, as has been the case to such an
extent in the past Only recently Tang
Shao vi performed a most important

valuable Chinese books which constituted
the present to President Roosevelt, the
latter has turned over to the Library of
Congress. In addition there were pre-
sented to Mrs. Roosevelt costly silks,
sables and probably the most magnificent
tiger skin rug in existence whereas the
late Empress of China sent to the Presi-
dents daughter, Mrs. Alice Roosevelt
Longworth a superb ieweled bracelet.
There is little doubt now that the of
fetal and ostensble mission of Tang
Shao vi and his associates was but intro
ductory to Il confidential errand of over
shadowing significance-namely, the ex-
tension of Il more or less yelled invitation
for the United States to join hands across
the sea with China in an alliance that
would if contaminated, prove seven
day wonder in international political
circles. There is reason to believe that
in this part of their mission the Chinese
visitors were but partially successful.
While the officials of the State Depart
ment have made no public announcement
on the subject, it is suspected that they
delicately conveyed to the visitors the
information that, whereas the United
States is DESTROYS of seeing the territorial
integrity of China preserved, the people
of the republic would scarcely counte-
nance an open offensive and defensive al
lance between the two nations. More
over the conclusion of the recent agree
ment between the United States and
japan looking to the maintenance of the
such sought 'open door, to the invalu-
able trade marts of the far East rather
forestalled the necessity for any definite
understanding with China.
For all that Uncle Sam has not locked
arms with the mighty Monaghan. there is
no doubt but that Tang Shao vi, in his
recent visit, has paved the way for a
better understanding between the two
powers Certainly there could have been
no choice of Celestial stat asman better
qualified for this difficult task. Tang
Shao vi is probably the foremost leader
of the progressive element In China and
is accounted The ablest representative of
his race who has undertaken interna-
tional negotiations since the days of Ii
Hung Chang. Moreover he speaks Eng
lish fuently, having been educated in the
United States. Tang was one of the first

Human Beings Can BE Infected.
While human beings do not get the dis
ease from eating the meat of animals
suffering from foot and mouth disease,
they readily take infection from the milk.
Unboiled milk will invariably convey the
disease to human beings and especially
to children, Regions where the fever
prevails habitually show thousands of
cases, especially in children, who nat
urally are greater milk drinkers than
adults. There is in human beings a high
fever and intense pain and difficulty in
swallowing. Within two days the patient
breaks out with blisters in the mouth
and on the fingers. These sometimes
cause dangerous ulcers, but death rarely
comes TO the human being from aphthous
fever In fact, this disease follows up
the findings of modern pathology, which
has demonstrated that the human animal
is best fitted to fight any and every germ

and the brutes find far reader prey in

Government Works Swiftly.
The work Of the government once
the dread foot and mouth disease has
been reported from any district, is swift
and relentless. An advance guard from
the veterinary department hastens to
look the suspects over and make path

trouble If the verdict is in the affirma
tive the national government Immediately
promulgates a quarantine order that
shuts up the suspected territory in a net
through which no means of contagon

one of the foremost politicians of China,
and with him as first secretary, subordi-
nate to him in rank, but overshadowlng
him in title, is Prince Tsai Flu, a men,

these two men are the bright particular

just formally said .good-by," there are
in its roster numerous other distinguished

worthy of more than passing prominence
had he visited this country as private
parsonage. To particuarize, there are
IL secretaries, all men of distinction; DR..
Hsaio Chi Nan, who is attached to the
embassy as medical attache, and Capt.
Hsu Shih Yang, of the Imperial Chinese
Army, who is the military representa-
tive with the party. In addition, there
are under-secretaries, subordinates and
servants, so that the Special Ambassa-
doris retinue during his stay in this coun-
try numbered more than so persons.
The primary and avowed object of the
visit of this Special Embassy to the
United States was to officially thank
President Roosevelt and the Congress of
the United States for the magnanimous
action of the republic in releasing China
from paying a large portion of the in
demnity awarded to the United States

incurred as a result Of the Boxer upris-
ing of almost 10 years ago This country
did not waive all obligations in the mat
